Kris & David are guestless this week as we discuss the week that was November 7-13, 1999. We talk about ECW's November to Remember PPV and loads of other ECW news before going to the WWF where we look at Big Show's father "dying" and Arnold Schwarzenegger making a memorable appearance on Smackdown. We then go to Japan where we talk about the awesomeness of 1999 BattlARTS, Canada for Principal Dick Pound, & Mexico for the return of Jushin Thunder Liger in that country. We hit the indie scene including Jim Cornette in Memphis before a WCW section that is full on awesome, with a Nitro that no one can ever forget, including Lex Luger playing the part he was born to play. A tremendous show, so don't miss it!!!
