**No regular spotlight this week as Benno is in the States for Full Gear and I'm knackered. And we couldn't get 3 hours of content out of the Progress nonsense if we're honest. So instead a special Patreon show we released last week as part of MONTREAL Month - JP!**

In this special edition of GRAPPL Flashback, Benno, Matty and Gareth kick off Montreal month with the big one, our Survivor Series 1997 review!

Join us as we talk where we were in 1997, where we heard the news, the state of our fandoms at the time as well as the show itself, the build up and one of the worst undercards of all time with Gang Rulz in full effect as we talk DOA, the Truth Commission and others stinking up the undercard, plus USA vs Canada (kind of) action, a barely mobile Steve Austin somehow wrestling, and the big one, Bret Hart vs Shawn Michaels.

We also talk the big draws of the local newsagents in the 90's, YoYo's, Pogs, Tazos, Tamagotchis, Tetley Tea and more!
