Survivor Series is the second longest running PPV Event for the WWE, after WrestleMania. The original concept for Survivor Series ws to have an annual PPV event that focues on tag team wrestling and to capitalize on the long time feud between Hulk Hogan and Andre the Giant, who faced each other at WrestleMania III, leading up to the first ever Survivor Series event. It was originally designed to be a "Thanksgiving tradition" as the first 4 events took place on Thanksgiving Day each November.
