'''Survivor Series''' is a pay-per-view event produced by [[World Wrestling Entertainment]]. It is one of the big four pay-per-view events produced by WWE. It is the second oldest pay-per-view event, with [[WrestleMania]] being the oldest. It features elimination matches, where two teams, usually of around five, eliminate members from the opposing team. The event is also notable for the debuts of certain wrestlers. The Undertaker made his WWE debut at the 1990 Survivor Series, Ric Flair in 1991, The Rock (then known as Rocky Maivia) in 1996, Kurt Angle in 1999, the Shield in 2012, and Sting in 2014. When Survivor Series first began, it occurred on [[Thanksgiving]] Night. However, it now occurs the Sunday prior to Thanksgiving.

The Survivor Series was originally created by WWF (now WWE) owner Vince McMahon as a last-minute counter to Starrcade, the main supercard event of [[National Wrestling Alliance]] flagship promotion [[Jim Crockett Promotions]], which was slated to make its pay-per-view debut with that event. McMahon deliberately scheduled the Survivor Series against Starrcade (which traditionally took place on Thanksgiving night prior to its PPV debut) and coerced PPV operators into carrying his event only by not allowing them to carry his other events (including WrestleMania) if they carried Starrcade; as a result, most PPV operators chose to carry the Survivor Series instead.<ref>[https://www.pwtorch.com/artman2/publish/The_Specialists_34/article_23994.shtml#.WgTAyohryUk SPECIALIST - 20 Years Ago: Detailed look back at Starrcade '87 with Flair vs. Garvin]</ref>
