Kris & David are back with another episode of Between the Sheets—this time with a Patreon pick submitted by William Lanham, who dropped the $25—covering the week that was November 17-23, 2001. We talk about a monster week in the WWF featuring the returns of Ric Flair and Jerry Lawler, the exit of Mick Foley, and a Survivor Series that spelled the end of the WCW/ECW/Alliance invasion angle. We analyze everything in and out of the ring, why everything happened the way it did, and what should've been done differently. We also take a look at the WWF financials at the time plus what the future held post-Invasion. We also talk about all the happenings in Japan in all the major promotions and indies, as well as Mexico and Puerto Rico, before coming back to the United States where we talk about the indie scene. We check in on the XWF after their first TV tapings, AOL/Time Warner possibly getting back into wrestling, some wild Hart Family drama, and much more. This is an action packed show, so LISTEN NOW!!!!!!!!!!
