November 16th

On this day in history in ....

1955 - Tiger Jokinder & King Kong Czaya defeat Rikidozan & Harold Sakata in Tokyo, Japan to win a tournament to crowd the first ever All-Asian Tag Team Championships, belts that are still defended today in All Japan Pro Wrestling.

1961 - Dale Lewis & Pat Kennedy defeat Hardboiled Haggerty & Bob Geigel for the AWA World Tag Team Title in Rochester, Minnesota. Haggerty held the belts with Gene Kiniski, but when the team broke up, Haggerty defeated Kiniski in a singles match and selected Geigel as his new partner.

1984 - Crusher Blackwell defeats Harley Race for the Missouri State Heavyweight Title in St. Louis, Missouri, ending Race's sixth reign with the belt, and starting his own second reign.

1987 - WWF holds a "Legend's Battle Royal" at the Meadowlands Arena in East Rutherford, New Jersey.  It's interesting to note that, at the time, WWF rarely acknowledged other wrestling organizations or their history, yet this match contained many stars that achieved their fame outside the WWF. 72-year-old Lou Thesz won the match, outlasting Nick Bockwinkel, Art Thomas, Bobo Brazil, Jay Strongbow, Gino Brito, Arnold Skaaland, Eduardo Carpentier, Baron Scicluna, Al Costello, Pat O'Connor, The Crusher, Pedro Morales, Dominic DeNucci, Killer Kowalski, Tony Garea, Gene Kiniski, and Rene Goulet. 

1992 - The Sandman defeats Don Muraco for the ECW (at the time Eastern Championship Wrestling) Heavyweight Title in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Sandman would go on to become the only five time Heavyweight champion in ECW history.

1994 - WCW held the Clash of the Champions XXIX in Jacksonville, Florida at the Jacksonville Coliseum. Here are the results of the show, which was aired live on TBS:
- The Patriot & Marcus Bagwell defeated Paul Roma & Paul Orndorff to win the WCW World Tag Team Title when Bagwell pinned Roma with a back suplex.
- WCW Television Champion Johnny B. Badd defeated The Honkytonk Man via DQ when Honky Tonk hit Badd with a guitar.
- Harlem Heat defeated The Nasty Boys when Stevie Ray pinned Sags.
- Vader defeated Dustin Rhodes with a powerbomb. Vader when to splash Rhodes off the ropes after the match, but Hacksaw Duggan hit him with a 2x4.
- WCW United States Champion Hacksaw Duggan defeated Steve Austin in less than a minute via DQ when Vader ran in to attack Duggan. Hacksaw grabbed his 2x4 and cleared the ring.
- Hulk Hogan, Sting & Dave Sullivan defeated The Butcher (Brutus Beefcake), Avalanche & Kevin Sullivan when Hogan pinned Sullivan. Mr. T was the special referee, and hit Sullivan to set up the pin.

1996 - ECW held their November to Remember event in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania at the ECW Arena.

- Taz came to the ring at the start of the show, and addressed Paul Heyman, who was on the stop stage. Pointing out that Heyman had revealed the Taz-Sabu agreement (that if Sabu returned to ECW, he and Taz would stay away from each other), Taz said he was going to blow Heyman's "big surprise". Taz said that wrestlers in the locker room were signing contracts for a big event to take place in the first half of 1997 (although he never actually said it, he was referring to ECW's first Pay-per-view). Taz said that he would main event that show against Sabu, and there was nothing Heyman could do about it.

- Stevie Richards defeated David Tyler Morton Jericho (Kid Kash). This was the debut of the BWO (Blue World Order) with Big Stevie Cool (Richards as Kevin Nash), Da Blu Guy (Blue Meanie as Scott Hall), and Hollywood Nova (Super Nova as Hogan). Richards won the match with a Steviekick (superkick).

- Axl Rotten defeated Hack Myers with a facebuster on a chair.

- Buh Buh Ray Dudley defeated D-Von Dudley with a Bubba Cutter. Following the match, Joel Gertner stated that D-Von had won "on points" and ended up taking a moonsault from Big Dick Dudley as a result.

- The Eliminators vs. Sabu & Rob Van Dam went to a time limit draw (twenty minute time limit, then two five minute overtime periods) in a match to determine the number one contenders to the ECW World Tag Team Championship. ECW Commissioner Tod Gordon then announced that due to the draw, both teams would face The Gangstas for the belts in a three way dance later in the show.

- Chris Candido defeated Mikey Whipwreck with a top rope powerbomb.

- ECW World Tag Team Champions The Gangstas defeated The Eliminators and Sabu & Rob Van Dam in a Three Way Dance. Taz came out and started choking Van Dam, allowing the Eliminators to pin Sabu with Total Elimination. New Jack then hit Saturn with a flying chairshot to win the match.

- During an interview with 2 Cold Scorpio, who was leaving ECW for the WWF, Scorpio laid out a challenge to anyone to come out and try to make him leave. 2 Cold Scorpio defeated Devon Storm, JT Smith and Hack Myers in "Loser Leaves ECW" matches, beating all of them in less than 90 seconds each. Louie Spicolli then defeated 2 Cold Scorpio in a "Loser Leaves ECW" match with a Spicolli Driver. Scorpio still refused to leave the ring, until Taz came out, at which point Scorpio left, saying he was going to where the "big money" was. Taz bid Scorpio farewell, calling him "Flash" (his WWF name was going to be Flash Funk).

- In one of the most memorable moments in ECW history, Taz stated he would not leave the ring until Sabu came out and faced him. Tod Gordon came to the ring, and Taz choked him out. Paul Heyman came out, and Taz grabbed Heyman and gave him a Tazplex. Taz started choking him out, when the lights went out. When they came back on, Sabu and Taz were standing in the ring, face to face, for the first time since Sabu's return to ECW one year earlier. As they charged each other, the lights went out again. When they came back on, the ring was empty, and the fans chanted "ECW".

- ECW World Heavyweight Champion The Sandman defeated Raven with a DDT on a guardrail.

- Terry Funk & Tommy Dreamer defeated Shane Douglas & Brian Lee when Funk pinned Lee with a DDT.

1996 - Jerry Lawler defeats The Colorado Kid for the USWA Unified Heavyweight Title in Memphis, Tennessee to start his twenty fifth reign as champion.

1996 - The WWF Hall Of Fame inductions were held at the Marriott Marquis in New York City.  This would be the last induction ceremony until WWE revived the Hall in 2004.  Inducted at this ceremony were Captain Lou Albano, Killer Kowalski, Baron Mikel Scicluna, Johnny Valiant, Jimmy Valiant, Johnny Rodz, Pat Patterson, Vincent J. McMahon, and Jimmy Snuka.

1998 - Juventud Guerrera defeats Billy Kidman for the WCW Cruiserweight Title in Wichita, Kansas, starting his third (and final) reign as champion.

2000 - General Rection & Alex Wright defeat Mark Jindrak & Sean O'Haire for the WCW Tag Team Title in Oberhausen, Germany, ending Jindrak & O'Haire's second title reign.

2003 - WWE ran their Survivor Series Pay-per-view in Dallas, Texas.  Here is Tim Whitehead's original report on the show:

WWE scored big with their 11/16 Survivor Series PPV from Dallas. There wasn't a bad match on the show. There was one excellent match with awesome heat, plus several good matches, strong workrate, good announcing (including less bickering than usual between Jim Ross and Jerry Lawler), a hot crowd, and a few positive surprises. I guess I could nitpick and say they needed the Cruiserweight match on the PPV, and yes the ever-present McMahons were there, but the show was very strong and a clear thumb's up.

TEAM ANGLE (Kurt Angle, Chris Benoit, John Cena, Bradshaw, and Hardcore Holly) defeated TEAM LESNAR (Brock Lesnar, Big Show, Nathan Jones, Matt Morgan, and A-Train) in a Survivor Series elimination match in 13:17. Kind of odd seeing them start off with Angle and Lesnar in the opener. But they assumed the RAW Survivor Series team match would be the one with the emotional heat due to the stipulations (they were right), wanted the RAW World Title match to end the show, and needed a strong bout to kick things off. Before the bell even rang, Hardcore Holly attacked Lesnar and sent him crashing into the stairs. The ref tried to calm Holly, and he responded by shoving the ref down. The storyline here was that Holly was determined to get at Lesnar for injuring him last year and putting him out for so long. That made sense. This caused the ref to DQ Holly, thus eliminating him. That made no sense given that the bell had not yet rung. So the match began with Team Angle down one man. Bradshaw started off for his team against A-Train, and he pinned A-Train at 0:30 after a lariat. Show came in and chokeslammed Bradshaw to eliminate him at 0:50. So they cleared out some lower tier guys fast to leave the major stars and the two big monsters (Jones & Morgan). They also left Cena in there, since he's clearly on the verge of moving up. Cena took Lesnar down by going after his legs and scored some twos on him. Lesnar lariated Cena and pulled him over to his corner, where the big guys put the power moves on him. Jones & Morgan only tagged in for brief segments. Cena managed to DDT Lesnar out of nowhere and hot tag Benoit. Benoit cleaned house until Lesnar hot shotted him across the ropes. Show press slammed Benoit, but when he went for another slam Benoit evaded and hooked the crossface. Lesnar broke it up. Show legdropped Benoit, with Angle breaking up the pin. Angle was protected somewhat in this match by limiting his ring time but he still risked his bad neck by working like crazy the short time he was in. Angle did the multiple German suplexes on both Lesnar and Morgan. He pinned Morgan at 9:07 after an Olympic slam. Angle then forced Jones to tap to the ankle lock at 9:32. But Lesnar immediately caught Angle with an F5 and pinned him at 9:44. Benoit rushed in and went after Lesnar. He hooked the crossface. Lesnar escaped but he hooked it again and this time Lesnar tapped at 11:55 to trigger the "you tapped out" chants. This left Show against Benoit & Cena. Benoit hit a shoulderblock off the top. He tried for the crossface but Show blocked it. Benoit made a blind tag to Cena. Show threw a bad kick which totally missed at Cena, and then went back after Benoit, thinking he was still the legal man. Show chokeslammed Benoit. Cena pulled out a chain and clobbered Show with it behind the ref's back and then gave Show the FU, which was awesome and just the type of spot needed to put Cena over, for the pin at 13:17. Really good opener with great heat, and a nice surprise to see Benoit & Cena left standing at the end.

Vince McMahon visited son Shane. He began all that mystical, almost satanic, talk about being protected by a "higher power". Shane wasn't interested in hearing it and told him to leave. As Vince left, he encountered Steve Austin, who laughed at him, expecting Undertaker to destroy him later.

MOLLY HOLLY beat LITA in 6:48 to retain the women's title. Lita tossed Molly around and suplexed her. Molly sent Lita from the ring for a big bump and then rammed her into the security rail. They went to mat holds for a minute or so. Molly hit a springboard elbow. It's pretty clear that post-injury Lita is now somewhat limited in the ring, as she isn't nearly as smooth as the other top ladies in the division have become. They traded two counts, with Lita hitting a crossbody off the top and a powerbomb, while Molly hit a sideslam. Lita missed on a moonsault when Molly rolled clear. Molly hit the Molly-Go-Round but only scored two. In something of an abrupt ending, Molly removed the padding from a turnbuckle, rammed Lita into it, and rolled her up for the pin to ruin Lita's Cinderella-story quest to regain the belt (at least for this show). Pretty much a standard women's match like we'd see on RAW.

KANE defeated SHANE McMAHON in an ambulance match in 13:32. Shane attacked Kane at the bell, crossbodying him out to the floor. Kane took a scary looking bump on his head but seemed okay afterward. Shane pounded Kane with the stairs and with monitors. He laid Kane out on the Spanish announcing desk and came off the top rope, putting Kane through the desk. Shane ran out into the crowd and, as Kane revived, he taunted him to come after him. So Kane took the bait and followed Shane to the back. Shane ambushed him and hit him with like fifty shots from a kendo stick. Shane got in a car and backed in into Kane, knocking him through a glass window. Actually, there was a barrier that took the brunt of the car blow, but it was still a pretty dangerous spot. Kane seemed out after this, so Shane called for the ambulance. But Kane revived as he was being gurneyed into the vehicle. He jumped Shane and rammed him over and over into the ambulance. There were a couple of technical glitches here where the video went out and you could hear the production crew talking. Kane pounded Shane some more. They ended up back around the ambulance, with Shane ramming the door into Kane's head twice, the second shot being sick. Kane booted Shane in the face and threw him in the ambulance but Shane jumped right back out. Shane gave Kane a tornado DDT on the floor and stuck a garbage can in his arms (that part always looks contrived, since it is). Shane came off the top of the ambulance with a Van Terminator to kick the can into Kane's face. There was a padded box laying there to break Shane's fall but it was still very dangerous. They brawled a little more, but in the end Kane surprised Shane with a tombstone piledriver on the floor. That put Shane out and Kane locked him in the back of the ambulance for the win. Kane had a badly split lip from one of the shots he took. A solid brawling match. It was kind of strange, though, after all the car crashes, fiery infernos, and deadly plunges from high places, to see this feud apparently ended with a piledriver. It took the ambulance forever to weave its way through all the corridors and obstructions to take Shane to the hospital.

Josh Matthews interviewed Lesnar about his team's loss. Lesnar denied losing and kept making excuses. He denied tapping out when the crowd started the "you tapped out" chant. He insisted he could beat anyone one-on-one and acted like the other guys on his team were the ones who got beat. Then, in a big surprise, Goldberg walked up and introduced himself as the World's Heavyweight Champion. Lesnar didn't know what to say. As Goldberg walked off, he smirkingly asked Lesnar to wish him luck in his match. This left Lesnar totally speechless, and was pretty neat as an angle.

Jonathan Coachman came out in a neck brace, to sell the DDT he took from the Dudleys on RAW. He thanked everyone for all the concern they've shown over his injury, as if they've been sending him cards and flowers all week or something. Coach spotted Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban on the front row and went to interview him. Cuban said he was looking forward to Eric Bischoff getting his ass kicked by Austin. Coach said that wouldn't happen, and then asked him if he prefers WWE referees or NBA referees. Cuban said all refs suck. Bischoff came out to the ring, angry over Cuban's remarks. He dared Cuban to come in the ring and say something to his face. Cuban came in, not appearing to take this all that seriously. Bischoff told him he had rented the arena for tonight, so it was his building, not Cuban's. He threatened to have security eject Cuban from the arena and shoved him. Cuban shoved Bischoff down to a great pop. But Randy Orton came out of nowhere and laid Cuban out with the RKO. Cuban was left laying. That was actually great! Orton, like Cena, is moving up.

Backstage, Triple H, Ric Flair, and Batista were relaxing. There were a ton of babes there, and they were all over HHH. Flair told the girls to wait until after the show, since HHH needed to conserve his energy for the match. HHH was totally confident, saying the match would be just a formality and that the title was as good as his. Orton came in, bragging about laying out Cuban and vowing to end Austin's career later. The chicks liked him, too. They all ended up doing a toast to HHH regaining the belt and Orton ending Austin's career.

THE BASHAM BROTHERS defeated LOS GUERREROS in 7:30 to retain the Smackdown World Tag Titles. They quickly brawled on the floor. In the ring, Eddie put the boots to Danny and gave him multiple vertical suplexes. Eddie was on a roll against both Bashams until being dropped across the ropes. Shaniqua lariated and bodyslammed Eddie on the floor. The Bashams scored twos on Eddie, including one after a double slingshot suplex. Eddie managed to escape using a headscissors and Chavo tagged in, cleaning house. All four began brawling. Eddie did a huracanrana on Doug. Chavo hit an innovative dropkick. The match kind of got a lost a little here. Shaniqua came in, but Chavo lariated her and Eddie frog splashed her. Chavo spanked her. Why would he do that since she'd probably like it? The finish saw Chavo hit a swinging DDT on Doug, with Chavo accidentally kicking Eddie while executing the move. But Danny rolled Chavo up from behind and used the tights to score the pin. Afterward, Eddie was mad at Chavo for kicking him and for losing. The match was okay, but I'm not sure if Los Guerreros and the Bashams mesh that well as rivals. I do wish they'd stop the arguing between Eddie and Chavo and just let them be a great team.

TEAM BISCHOFF (Chris Jericho, Scott Steiner, Christian, Mark Henry, and Randy Orton) defeated TEAM AUSTIN (Shawn Michaels, Booker T, Rob Van Dam, and the Dudleys) in a Survivor Series elimination match in 27:25. Both Austin and Bischoff were at ringside, and remarkably they didn't get involved until the very end. Christian started off against D-Von. They traded some good spots. D-Von lariated the hell out of Christian. RVD came in and kicked the daylights out of both Christian and Jericho. Jericho hit an enzuigiri on RVD. Steiner tagged in and put the boots to RVD. RVD came back with a crossbody and some more kicks. They traded near falls. Steiner superplexed RVD. They were being stiff as hell with each other. Booker came in and lariated Steiner. Steiner got back up but was caught with the scissor kick. Booker did the spinaroonie. Steiner revived and hit a low blow, hooking Booker in the recliner. Stacy Keibler got on the apron and began cheering for Booker. Yes, Steiner made a stupid mistake bringing her out there. He made another stupid mistake when he dropped the hold on Booker to chase after Stacy. The Dudleys ended up 3D'ing him, allowing Booker to pin and eliminate Steiner after a bookend at 7:28. However, Henry surprised Booker with a devastating press slam at 7:51 to pin and eliminate him. Henry spent the next couple of minutes pounding everyone and shaking off their blows on him, which actually came off good. He overpowered both Dudleys at the same time. Henry finally got taken down during a brawl and was frog splashed by RVD. RVD and both Dudleys pinned Henry at 10:02. Jericho came in. RVD caught him with a split-leg moonsault but Jericho made the ropes. Orton tagged in and lariated RVD. RVD retaliated with kicks and the rolling thunder. Jericho caused RVD to bump off the ropes, and Orton caught RVD in the RKO for the pin at 12:05. D-Von laid Orton out and hit him with a diving headbutt. Jericho missile kicked D-Von and then pinned him after a swinging neckbreaker at 13:48. Heartbreak Kid Michaels finally tagged in to a huge pop. By this point the crowd was dying to see him come in. HBK chopped everyone. Jericho lariated HBK. Orton dropkicked him. Bubba Ray gave Christian a very high backdrop. Jericho caught Bubba with a low blow and Christian then pinned Bubba after an unprettier at 16:50. This left HBK in alone against three Bischoff guys. Jericho caused HBK to bump out where he got pounded on the floor by Orton. Christian posted HBK and he juiced a gusher, and I mean a major gusher. Christian seemed to be in command but HBK caught him with the sweet chin music out of nowhere and scored the pin at 20:27. Jericho attacked HBK and pounded his open wound to increase the blood flow. Orton came in but was caught by an HBK sleeper. Orton suplexed his way out of it. Jericho made the tag, but HBK DDT'd him. Orton broke the pin up. Jericho bulldogged HBK and went for the lionsault. HBK got his knees up and Jericho landed on them. When Jericho staggered up, HBK went for the chin music. Jericho avoided the shot and went for the walls hold, but HBK surprised him with an inside cradle for the pin at 23:52. Jericho was furious about being eliminated and hit HBK with a chairshot before leaving. Orton went for a crossbody off the top. HBK ducked and the ref took the blow. With the ref out, Bischoff at this point went in and kicked HBK from behind, a violation of the provocation rule which may or may not be addressed at a future time. Austin, of course, went in and beat Bischoff up. He gave Orton a stunner. Austin then pounded Bischoff up the ramp to the back. The ref was still down, so Batista ran in and gave HBK a sit-down powerbomb. Orton crawled on top of HBK at 27:25 for the pin as the ref revived to end an outstanding match. The crowd heat throughout had been off the charts, as they clearly loved this bout. The Team Bischoff win, scored by Orton to move him closer to the top, meant that Austin was out as general manager. He was still pounding Bischoff at the ramp top, and looked stunned when he saw that HBK had been pinned. JR & Lawler put over that this was the end of the career of the biggest star ever. Austin went back to the ring, acting like he was in shock. HBK revived and said "I'm sorry". But Austin knew he had done his best and helped him up. He shook HBK's hand and walked to the back with him. But Austin then returned to the ring to make a farewll speech. I was afraid the "whats" would ruin this, but they trailed off after the first few, as the crowd saw this as a solemn occasion. Austin was awesome here, seeming legit sad and broken up by his team's loss and the end of his career. He said he began his career in 1989 in Dallas, and if it had to end it was appropriate that it took place there. He said there have been plenty of good times and bad times in his career but he's loved it all, and concluded by saying, "You won't hear me say this very often, but I love the s**t out of you guys." Coach then came out, surrounded by security. He sang "Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye" and demanded that Austin leave the arena. Austin beat up all the security guards, tore Coach's neck brace off, and gave him a stunner. Austin guzzled beer for a final time in the ring, and left two empty beer cans standing as he left to cheers from the fans. This was one of the best retirement segments ever, and would be remembered for years if it really was Austin's swan song (of course, it won't be).

VINCE McMAHON beat UNDERTAKER in the buried alive match in 11:58. Vince came out praying to the "higher power". He was dressed in black so we'd all know who the higher power was. Undertaker slugged him and Vince juiced a fountain immediately. It was another major gusher. The next several minutes was just UT slowly and methodically pounding on Vince in and around the ring as Vince continued to juice. UT posted Vince's crotch and wrapped his leg around the post. He used a monitor to knock Vince across the broadcast desk. It was so one-sided that it almost telegraphed a Vince win. It was the most one-sided brawl since Sonny Corleone beat up his brother-in-law. The crowd wasn't all that hot, mainly because nothing could follow the prior match and post-match Austin speech. But they weren't really cold, either. UT smashed the stairs on Vince's leg. He carried Vince to the gravesite after walloping him hard with a shovel. Vince managed to get a handful of dirt to throw in UT's eyes. He hit UT in the balls and shoved him into the grave. But UT reached out and dragged him in. He beat Vince down in the grave and then left to get in the dirt mover (they had a big dirt mover shovel vehicle there to dump dirt into the gave onto the loser). But when UT opened the vehicle's door he was hit with a fireball type flash. Kane emerged! He helped Vince out of the grave, beat the blinded UT down, and then tossed him in the grave. Vince got in the dirt mover and used the big shovel to dump dirt on UT in the grave, burying him to win the match. Okay for what it was, and the Kane surprise was pretty neat. Combined with the earlier Lesnar-Goldberg confrontation, it looks like there may be some inter-divisional stuff starting, or some guys switching divisions.

GOLDBERG beat HHH to retain the RAW World Title in 11:43. They brawled before the bell and Goldberg hit a spear out of nowhere. Flair freaked out and went after Goldberg to protect HHH. Goldberg lariated Flair from the ring. HHH staggered up at the bell, and Goldberg hurled him out to the floor. Goldberg rammed HHH into the desk, stairs, and security rail. In the ring, Goldberg powerslammed HHH, but when he went for a press slam, his bad leg went out (I was really thankful they at least sold it some here) and he collapsed. HHH naturally went after the leg. Flair distracted the ref, allowing HHH to use a chair on the leg. HHH just kept focusing on the leg as Flair took cheap shots whenever he found an opening. HHH threw Goldberg out and Flair put the boots to him before rolling him back in. HHH kneedropped onto Goldberg's leg. Goldberg kept attempting to rally by doing moves, such as lariats, on one leg. HHH went for the figure four. Goldberg kicked him off and there was a very weak ref bump. The ref bump was inevitable, of course. Flair tossed brass knux to HHH, who used them on Goldberg, but the ref was slow to count due to being bumped and Goldberg kicked out at two. HHH KO'ed the ref in anger and retrieved the always handy sledgehammer. But Goldberg blocked the blow and made a great babyface comeback. He slammed Flair off the top. He lariated both HHH & Flair on one leg. He hit Flair in the gut with the sladgehammer. Batista & Orton ran in and he used the hammer on both of them as well. HHH surprised Goldberg from behind and went for a pedigree, but Goldberg backdropped him. Goldberg picked the hammer back up and was about to use it on HHH, but instead he tossed it away, making it clear that he wanted to prove he could win with his own legal moves. He hit the spear and jackhammer to score the pin as the ref revived. As far as action goes, this was a decent match, but the most important aspect was the booking which made Goldberg look like a true superstar. They sort of telegraphed a Goldberg win earlier when he introduced himself to Lesnar as the world champion, but it still managed to be a shock when he won again over HHH.
