CARD SUBJECT TO CHANGE: Jean Pierre Lafitte was originally scheduled to compete as a member of the Bodydonnas, but was replaced on the team by The 1-2-3 Kid. The 1-2-3 Kid had recently turned heel and joined the "Million Dollar Corporation," and the WWF explained the substitution by stating that "Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase had bought The 1-2-3 Kid a spot on the team. In reality, Jean Pierre Lafitte required time off to have a hernia operation....Avatar was originally scheduled to compete as a member of the Underdogs, but was replaced on the team by Bob "Spark Plugg" Holly. NOTES: Vince McMahon, Jim Ross and Mr. Perfect, making a surprise return to the WWF, did commentary for the event. Carlos Cabrera and Hugo Savinovich did Spanish commentary.

Bill Dunn was the ring announcer....WWF Tag Team Champions The Smoking Gunns (Billy & Bart Gunn) defeated The Public Enemy (Rocco Rock & Johnny Grunge) in a non-televised match prior to the pay-per-view....Promotional materials for Survivor Series 1995 featured Shawn Michaels & Diesel....This was the first Survivor Series pay-per-view held on a Sunday night. Previous events were either held on Thanksgiving Day or Thanksgiving Eve. Buck Woodward: Honestly, all I remember from this show was Undertaker's team (all wearing Undertaker shirts) pretty much standing on the apron cheering while Undertaker blew through everyone. ... I also remember thinking that the Wild Card match was pretty dumb, especially when Ramon turned on Douglas. It was like "What's the point?" Mike Johnson: I was actually at this show, which was the final in a weekend where I attended four shows in three days....This was the historic show where Bret "ECW is like Pornography" Hart flew off the ring apron and crashed through a table. To Hart's credit, he actually got a good match out of Kevin Nash....I liked the whole Wild Card deal and remember that being a fun match....The match with the Japanese women, which was why I attended the show, was a huge letdown....The Public Enemy dark match was hysterical to me personally as the night before, while talking to Ted Petty (who was a great guy), he told me that they weren't going anywhere. 12 hours later, I was watching them walk to the ring for a WWF show. Too funny....I also recall running into Axl Rotten in the building, which I thought was weird because here was an ECW guy going to a WWF show. It just totally seemed out of place. 1995 - Lola Gonzales defeats Bison Kimura in a tournament final to become the first Trans-World Wrestling Federation Women's Champion. 2000 - WWF Survivor Series was held at the Ice Palace in Tampa, Florida. The show was headlined by Steve Austin vs. Triple H in a no-disqualification match that ended when Austin used a crane to lift a car, with Triple H inside, 100 feet off the ground, then let it drop. Seriously. For a full report, go to Page 3! 2001 - WWF's RAW in Charlotte, North Carolina features the founding of the "Vince McMahon Kiss My Ass Club" with first member, former Alliance commissioner William Regal. Also, Ric Flair made his return to the WWF after a nine-year absence, revealed to be the new "50% owner" of the WWF, having "bought" Shane and Stephanie McMahon's company stock, which they sold to a "consortium" in order to have the money to purchase and become the respective owners of WCW and ECW. 2006 - WWE made the call that the final ECW house show that was to be presented by World Wrestling Entertainment on Monday 11/20 in Williamsport, PA was to be canceled so some of the ECW talent can appear on Raw to help push the 2006 Survivor Series PPV. The WWE's attempt to relaunch ECW would never return to a full-time self touring entity. 2006 - TNA broadcast their Genesis PPV, featuring the first-ever Samoa Joe vs. Kurt Angle Buck Woodward filed the following PPV report: Pre-Show Jeremy Borash welcomed us to the show, then they went outside the building, where Christy Hemme was asking fans who would win between Samoa Joe and Kurt Angle.

Young hit a cross bodyblock, but Roode rolled it over and got the pin with his feet on the ropes for leverage at the five minute mark. The fans told the referee that Roode had his feet on the ropes, so the referee restarted the match. Roode protested, then charged Young. Young caught him with a double boot to the face out of the corner, and rolled up Roode for the pin, also using the ropes for leverage. The announcers played up that the fans weren't clueing in the referee this time, so Young's pin stood. Winner: Eric Young. After the match, Roode complained to Ms. Brooks about the loss.

Perhaps the most damning quote came from Waxman, who while discussing the WWE's Wellness Policy, commented, "Since we started our investigation (in September 2007), the WWE has suspended 11 wrestlers. It's a clear sign that the WWE's drug policy failed. Their wrestlers were caught by law-enforcement officials." That was technically correct, but the article did point out that the wrestlers were not suspended for drug test failures, but instead for using online pharmacies, which were prohibited even if the performer has a legitimate prescription from his physician. Jerry McDevitt, while commenting on the rash of early deaths, said, ""I don't think it's ever been unsafe to be a member of WWE. The majority of deaths (in pro wrestling) were of people who came through the organization and moved on. I don't think any organization has the ability to control the choices that people make when they aren't affiliated for years." ECW champion Punk admitted that the business can be rough to work in, but said, "There will always be people with the attitude, 'It won't happen to me,'but that happens in all walks of life. Some guys don't realize the consequences." Gary Wadler, an adviser to the World Anti-Doping Agency took the WWE Wellness Policy to task in the article, although Jerry McDevitt responds by stating Wadler, "knows nothing about our program. He has never talked to anybody who has any knowledge of the program. He's paid by WADA, which competes with Aegis." [Aegis Science handles the WWE Wellness Policy drug testing.] 2007 - Chris Jericho returned to WWE for the "second coming of Y2J" on Monday Night Raw.

He is here tonight to honor a man who has successfully defended the WWE Title for 365 consecutive days and the people boo him. Paul wants to know if they are upset with CM Punk for successfully defending the title against John Cena and Ryback. Are they mad because they made fun of Jerry Lawler. When CM Punk and him give them a taste of attitude after the people yearn for the Attitude Era, they boo him. They will chant ECW at him, but when they are given the Extreme, they boo him. The WWE Universe cannot handle the greatness of the WWE Champion when he comes into the ring and makes history by raising the bar so high. This man for whom this celebration is for, stands heads and shoulders above the rest. Not just for today but for all time. It is time to put a smile on your faces because this is a celebration. A celebration of 365 glorious days of the reign of the current and reigning WWE Champion, the best in the world. CM Punk is introduced and he makes his way to the ring. Punk allows Paul to keep his mic and Paul is so happy. Punk says that Shawn Michaels couldn’t do it. Triple H couldn’t do it. Bret Hart could not do it. Punk says that must make him the best there is, the best there was, or the best there ever will be. The Undertaker could not do it. Dewey . . . Dwayne. . . The Rock couldn’t do it. 365 days as WWE Champion. One calendar year. We have a video package of CM Punk showing the milestones of this 365 day journey that led us to the Punkiversary. Punk and Paul appear to have enjoyed that video. Punk says that today is a special day. It is a night of celebration. It is not about the past, it is about looking to the future. Punk says that he knows his place in history. He is on his way to the top. Punk says that he has his eyes set on July 25, 2018.

He got to know Bruno Sammartino. He likes Bruno and Paul says that Bruno should be in the Hall of Fame. Punk will be a first ballot Hall of Famer. Bruno could never beat CM Punk. Hulk Hogan could never beat CM Punk. Another ‘Paul Heyman guy’, Steve Austin could never on his best day beat CM Punk. At the Royal Rumble, not even the Rock will be able to beat CM Punk. Punk thanks Paul for setting this up. A lot of people asked him about his title reign. He has been asked about his most important victory. There were a lot of them, but to beat Ryback and John Cena single handedly made it to number one with a bullet. Many thought he was going to lose.
