November 14, 1963
WWF held the Survivor Series in Detroit, Michigan at the Joe Louis Arena. WWF faced a lot of criticism for running an angle on the PPV where Steve Austin was hit by a car, resulting in him being unable to wrestle in the main event against Triple H and The Rock. WWF knew in advance that the injured Austin would be unable to wrestle, but waited until after the PPV began (and fans had already purchased the event) before running the angle and creating a storyline reason for his absence. Big Show (subbing for Steve Austin) defeated Triple H and The Rock in a Triple Threat match to win the WWF World Title.

Remembering Eddie Guerrero
On November 13, 2005, Guerrero was found unconscious in his hotel room in Minneapolis, Minnesota, by his nephew, Chavo Guerrero. Chavo attempted CPR, but Eddie was pronounced dead when paramedics arrived on the scene.
An autopsy revealed that Guerrero died as a result of acute heart failure, caused by undiagnosed arteriosclerotic cardiovascular disease. Although Guerrero had not taken alcohol or illicit drugs for nearly four years, his past excesses contributed to his heart failure.

Who Would Bobby Lashley Want To Face If He Return To WWE?
Former WWE Superstar Bobby Lashley was a guest on The Chad Dukes Wrestling Show where he discussed his thoughts on a return to pro wrestling and in particular, who his ideal opponent would be:
"That's a tough one ... I think on the WWE side - I think as crazy as this sounds - this isn't saying it because this person is on the top or anything like that but I think Triple H is someone that I would really like to work with."
"The reason why is because he has that attitude, that aggression, that I like. And I think with professional wrestling you ... have to actually look the part ... He looks like someone that if you crossed him in an alley you wouldn't want to ... pick a fight with him. I think that pro wrestling has fallen away from that a little bit ... and I think Triple H has a tough look."
