Welcome to PWInsider.com's coverage of WWE Survivor Series. We will be updating this page throughout the evening with results from the show, so check back often.
The PPV began with a video package putting over the history of the Survivor Series and highlighting some of the issues leading to matches on tonight's show.
Michael Cole & JBL welcomed us, then tossed it over to Jim Ross & Jerry Lawler, then it went to Hugo Savinovich & Carlos Cabrera. No ECW announce team. Then again, there's no matches on the show that are strictly ECW.
Each of the legends, including Arn Anderson, had a separate entrance.
Elimination Match: Ric Flair, Ron Simmons, Sgt. Slaughter & Dusty Rhodes, with Arn Anderson, vs. The Spirit Squad (Nicky, Mikey, Johnny & Kenny), with Mitch.
Simmons started out with Mikey. Mikey shoved Simmons, then went down when he tried a shoulderblock. They locked up, and Mikey grabbed a side headlock, but Simmons threw him right off and dared him to get up. Mikey poked him in the eyes and hit some forearms, but Simmons powerslammed him, then laid out the rest of the Squad as they ran in. Mitch tripped Simmons, and when Ron went out after him, Mitch backed up into Arn Anderson, who threw him into the ringpost, then into the ring. The referee claimed he counted out Simmons, even though he never actually reached ten in the ring, as far as I could see.
Ron Simmons is eliminated.
The referee ordered Mitch to leave as well, claiming he saw the trip. Simmons gave Mitch a spinebuster, then dragged Mitch to the locker room. The referee then ordered Arn Anderson out for throwing Mitch (who was not a match participant) into the ringpost. The fans chanted "bulls***". Lawler noted this is the first time a referee has seen and called everything.
Slaughter got in with Nicky and after Nicky saluted him, Slaughter gave him a series of bodyslams. Dusty tagged in and hit a bionic elbow to Nicky's outstretched arm. Rhodes elbowed the arm again, then tagged in Ric Flair, who chopped Nicky in the corner. Flair hit some more chops, then tagged in Slaughter, who hit a clothesline then put Nicky in the Cobra Clutch. Nicky was going out, when Kenny ran in to break it up. Dusty stopped him, but this distracted the referee, and Johnny superkicked Slaughter, and Nicky got the pin.
Sgt. Slaughter is eliminated.
Dusty dropped an elbow on the nearly unconscious Nicky and got a pin.
Nicky is eliminated.
Mikey worked on Dusty, then tagged in Johnny. Dusty threw some elbows, but Johnny managed to keep him in the Spirit Squad corner and tag Kenny. Dusty hit the flip, flop and fly on Kenny, but missed an elbow in the corner. Kenny rolled up Dusty and pulled his jeans for a pin.
Dusty Rhodes is eliminated.
Johnny screamed about it being 3 on 1 as he went after Flair. He tagged in Mikey, who traded shots with Flair. Flair hit a reverse atomic drop, then used the ropes for leverage for the pin.
Mikey is eliminated.
Kenny backdropped Flair and hit some elbows to the chest. Flair grabbed a small package on a backdrop attempt and got the pin.
Kenny is eliminated.
Kenny and Flair shoved each other, and Johnny shoved Flair from behind, knocking him into Kenny, and knocking Kenny out of the ring. Johnny went for a right hand, but Flair ducked it, hit a shinbuster and applied the figure four leglock for the submission at the ten minute mark.
Johnny is eliminated. Ric Flair is the sole survivor.
The other members of the Spirit Squad ran in and turned the figure four over so Flair was trapped in the move. Kenny hit a top rope legdrop to the back of Flair's head. The Spirit Squad then left, with Flair laid out in the ring.
The events leading to Chris Benoit vs. Chavo Guerrero were recapped.

JBL screamed bloody murder over Benoit knocking down Vickie Guerrero, even though the replays showed he went into her back first.
Backstage, Todd Grisham interviewed Edge and Lita. Lita ripped on the fans and said she hadn't changed her mind, she was retiring tonight. Edge said Mickie James will go down faster than Donovan McNabb for the cheap heat moment. Lita left, then Edge bragged about winning his Survivor Series match later, while Cryme Tyme snuck into Lita's dressing room behind Edge's back. Edge left, and Cryme Tyme walked out with a box with a bra hanging out of it. Grisham asked what they were doing, and they told him he didn't see anything, before taking off with the box.

Mickie hit a clothesline, then went for a headscissors, but Lita threw it off and rammed Mickie head first to the mat. Lita choked Mickie against the middle rope.

James left. Lita demanded that Lilian Garcia come into the ring and say "Let's here it for the greatest Women's Champion of all time". The fans booed.

Cryme Tyme said they found a box of her stuff, and they were going to have a tribute sale, a "Ho-sale" if you will. They started selling her underwear to fans at ringside, for cash.
