Vince Mcmahon has released a statement saying that the Survivor Series brand will no longer be used. The pay per view that began in 1987 has been a wrestling Thanksgiving tradition for over 20 years.
Basically Mcmahon said that the concept of Survivor Series is obsolete and had more of an impact on the business in the past. This made me ask, has Survivor Series outlived its time? The answer I got after pondering was a hesitant said yes.
In the past when WWE was first taking off Survivor Series meant something more. Today we have more jaw dropping, elaborate events like the upcoming Elimination Chamber (formerly No Way Out) PPV.
The elimination tag team driven PPV is gone but we will have to stay tuned to WWE at least until November so we can see what new concept the replacement PPV will have.
