November 14th
On this day in history in ...
1963 - Killer Kowalski & Gorilla Monsoon defeat Skull Murphy & Brute Bernard to win the United States (WWWF version) tag team championship.
1973 - At a WWWF television taping in Hamburg, Pennsylvania, Tony Garea & Dean Ho defeat Toru Tanaka & Mr. Fuji to win the WWWF World Tag Team Title.
1981 - WWF World Champion Bob Backlund defeated Intercontinental Champion Don Muraco in the main event of a show at the Spectrum in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (only the World Title was on the line). The match had a 90-minute time limit, due to a one hour draw between the two the previous month. However, this bout only went 20 minutes. The real draw of the card was a stretcher match between Andre The Giant and Killer Khan, with Andre looking for revenge on Khan for "breaking" his leg. Andre hit Khan with splashes before he was carried off on the stretcher.
1986 - WWF World Tag Team Champions The British Bulldogs defeated The Can-Am Connection (Rick Martel & Tom Zenk) via disqualification in what would appear to be a rare (at the time) babyface vs. babyface match. However, the match was held in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, where hometown hero Rick Martel was hugely popular, so the Bulldogs, who got their first break in the Western part of Canada (Calgary), played heel for the match.
1999 - 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. Here are the results from the show:
- The Godfather, D'Lo Brown & The Headbangers defeated The Acolytes &
The Dudleys in an elimination match. Godfather & Brown were the
survivors.
- In his WWF televised debut, Kurt Angle defeated Sean Stasiak.
- Val Venis, Mark Henry, Gangrel & Steve Blackman defeated Davey Boy Smith
& The Mean Street Posse in an elimination match. Venis & Henry were the
survivors.
- The Fabulous Moolah, Mae Young, Tori & Debra defeated Ivory, Luna Vachon,
Jacquelyn & Terri Runnels when Moolah pinned Ivory.
- Kane defeated X-Pac via DQ.
- The Big Show defeated Big Bossman, Prince Albert, Mideon & Viscera in a
handicap elimination match. Big Show was supposed to team with Blue Meanie
& Kaientai, but he beat them up in the locker room before the match.
- Intercontinental Champion Chyna defeated Chris Jericho.
- Too Cool, Hardcore Holly & Crash Holly defeated Edge, Christian & The
Hardys in an elimination match. Hardcore Holly with the survivor.
- WWF Tag Team Champions The New Age Outlaws defeated Al Snow & Mankind.
- Big Show (subbing for Steve Austin) defeated Triple H and The Rock in a Triple
Threat match to win the WWF World Title.
2004 - The Survivor Series was held in Cleveland, Ohio at the Gund Arena. Here is our original report from the show.
SURVIVOR SERIES REPORTThe pay-per-view opened with a video that showed a few classic moments from the last 18 years of Survivor Series events. All three announce teams (Raw, Smackdown and Spanish) were at ringside.
Cruiserweight Champion Spike Dudley vs. Rey Mysterio vs. Chavo Guerrero vs. Billy Kidman.
Michael Cole said that the other Dudleys were out "indefinitely" due to Big Show beating them up two weeks ago. The match was held with all four men in the ring, one fall. Chavo went after Kidman at the start, while Spike went at it with Rey. Spike gave Rey a double stomp, then went after Chavo. Spike and Kidman double teamed Chavo, until Kidman dropkicked Spike as he was charging for a clothesline. Rey gave Kidman a facebuster and clotheslined him to the floor. Rey and Chavo, left alone in the ring, went at it, trading reversals and counters.

Kurt Angle approached Edge in the back, and complained about a story in Edge's book about how Angle almost bled to death once. Angle made fun of Edge for never winning the World Title, and for losing at the Taboo Tuesday fan balloting to an injured Shawn Michaels. Edge said he took out Shawn Michaels, something Angle could never do. Angle said he could make Shawn Michaels tap in seconds. Angle left Edge, and was approached by Eugene. Eugene ran down a list of Angle's accomplishments, then started doing a "You Suck" chant, annoying Angle.

Cena starting pounding Jesus in the back, while yelling at a quickly retreating Carlito for "sending his boy after him".
