Question: Who IRL is/was Erica Harley? I've tried to Google her name and have come up with nothing. That's one of my own creations; the worker playing her is Alicia Webb/Ryan Shamrock.

Survivor Series match: The Band (Kevin Nash, Scott Hall, Sycho Sid, X-Pac, and Justin Credible) vs. Triple H, Shawn Michaels, “Stone Cold” Steve Austin, The Rock, and Kurt Angle - That babyface team is stacked but I think the egos at play cost them.
RAW Survivor Series match: Chris Jericho, Rhyno, The Dudley Boyz, and Rico Constantino vs. “Whole Dam Show” Rob Van Dam, Edge, The Hardy Boyz, and Randy Orton - The faces take this one, hopefully that youngster Orton gets a good showing.
SmackDown! Survivor Series match: Diamond Dallas Page, “The Crippler” Chris Benoit, Maven, D'Lo Brown, and Josh Mathews vs. The Undertaker, Test, “Latino Heat” Eddie Guerrero, William Regal, and Christopher Nowinski - The heels get the win, thanks to some McMahon shenanigans.
Six Pack Challenge for the vacant WWF Women's Championship: Trish Stratus vs. Jazz vs. Molly Holly vs. Jacqueline vs. Ivory vs. Nidia - Trish is the favorite so I think Jazz pulls off the surprise win.
No Disqualification match: The Big Show & Kane vs. Albert & Haku - Hoss battle but I'm gonna go with the established main eventers. Mud Wrestling match: Erica Harley vs. Torrie Wilson - Torrie wins because boobs

Greensboro, North Carolina has had a lot of wrestling action over the years, but never have they witnessed survival like you see at the Survivor Series!
The show opened with the RAW Survivor Series match. There was a lot of exciting action in this one, as all ten men wanted to put on a strong showing by getting a big victory. Rico is the first eliminated as Randy Orton catches him with a cradle, but Orton follows him out after the 3D. D-Von falls to the Swanton Bomb, before Matt Hardy goes out after Rhyno’s Gore. Rhyno is beaten only after he has taken the spear from Edge, then a Swanton from Jeff Hardy, then the Five Star Frog Splash! Edge gets defeated when Jericho hits him with the Flashback after Bubba tripped him. Bubba Ray and Jeff Hardy both end up counted out after Hardy runs across the railing and dives onto him, but neither can make it back into the ring. This leaves Jericho and RVD, and it looks as though Rob is going to take home a big win but Jericho slides a low blow past the official, hitting the Flashback to pick up the win and be the sole survivor!
Backstage, Kurt Angle enters the dressing room of “Stone Cold” Steve Austin. Debra offers him some cookies, which he takes some and says they’ll be great with his milk later. He wants to talk to Austin about “the good old Power Trip days” but Austin tells him that he ain’t here for talkin’, they need to talk in the ring with some ass whoopin’ and not some gum flappin’. What?!
The next bout also comes from WWF RAW, as the unlikely duo of The Big Show and “The Big Red Machine” Kane take on the monstrous Albert and savage Haku in a no disqualification match. Jim Ross calls this one “bowling shoe ugly” and it really is; it’s a crazy brawl between four big hosses, but in due time it ends with Kane and Show hitting stereo chokeslams to pick up the victory.
Before our next match, we hear from Jonathan Coachman, who is in the interview area with Diamond Dallas Page, Chris Benoit, D’Lo Brown, and Maven. They all talk about taking down Mr. McMahon’s goons, but the one question they won’t answer is where is Josh Mathews?
Shane McMahon comes to the ring, bringing out the WWF Women’s championship to present it to the winner of the six pack challenge. The six women in the match fight viciously to take home the title, but only one can be champion. In the end, we get some Stratusfaction as Trish is able to get the pinfall over Ivory, winning her first Women’s championship! What a big win for this young bombshell! But afterwards, Jazz is seen staring daggers at her from ringside. These two have issues that have yet to be resolved!
In the interview area, Jonathan Coachman stands by this time with The Band. They all talk some smack on their opponents in the main event tonight, but Kevin Nash sums things up by saying that there are way too many egos on Triple H’s team, whereas this Band plays only for keeps!
We see Tommy Dreamer at WWF New York, where he says he will be coming after Justin Credible tomorrow on RAW again, before we see Chris Jericho enter Shane McMahon’s office. He brags about how he was the sole survivor tonight just like he is always the survivor, and that he deserves accolades for it. Shane instead tells him that he will make sure he’s featured tomorrow night, as he takes on The Big Show on RAW! Jericho doesn’t like the idea of that, but Shane has made up his mind, and the match will happen!
Before the SmackDown! Surivor Series match, Josh Mathews emerges to the ring. He says that he decided that he isn’t in the WWF to wrestle, he is here to be an announcer; but he has given his spot in this bout to someone special, the newest superstar to join WWF SmackDown!, bringing out Al Snow! Al joins with his Tough Enough pupil Maven, and they do well to begin with by taking out Test early on with some good teamwork! Christopher Nowinski shows his mettle by eliminating Maven, but Al Snow shows that he is the trainer by eliminating Nowinski with the Snow Plow. Snow doesn’t last much longer as Regal thumbs him in the eye and twists him with his Regal Cutter to score a cheap win. Regal also takes out D’Lo with the Regal Stretch. Chris Benoit goes on a tear, making both Eddie Guerrero and William Regal tap out to the Crossface, but The Undertaker stops that momentum with The Last Ride to take Benoit out. This leaves only Undertaker and DDP, and Page nearly gets the Diamond Cutter to win it, but the wily Taker is able to hook the top rope to block the maneuver. Dallas takes a big Last Ride, and The Undertaker shows that this is still his yard by being the sole survivor.
Back in Mr. McMahon’s office, Erica Harley does what she can to try and get him to call off her match tonight, making some very overt offers, but he says that his mind is made up; she can offer all the dirty things she wants, but tonight, she and Torrie will be all kinds of dirty in the mud wrestling match! We then go to the interview area with Jonathan Coachman, where The Rock says that unlike Coachman’s dignity in the stupid looking bottom rack suit he’s wearing, he will be the survivor tonight after he takes the instruments and turns them sideways to stick them up The Band’s candy asses! From there, we look in on Triple H, who stares into a full length mirror with an intense look. He says this one will be for Shawn, as we go to a short recap video to hype the mud wrestling match.
The pool is set up at ringside and filled with some slimy, sloppy mud, it is time for Erica Harley and Torrie Wilson to get in there! The “match” is all about two girls rolling around in the mud, and Mr. McMahon is probably loving it from his office as the two boxum blondes battle. Finally Wilson is able to hit a standing tornado DDT into the mud to get the three count! She celebrates in the mud for the fans.
As things get cleaned up, Vince and Shane McMahon are shown from one of the offices, and they announce that next month at WWF Vengeance, there will be a four way elimination match that will determine who will enter #30 in the Royal Rumble in January. Following a recap video that starts from Kevin Nash and Scott Hall showing up at Summerslam, it is time for our main event!
The Band are confident, especially when Shawn Michaels is nowhere to be seen, but they shouldn’t be as cocky as they are as The Rock almost immediately puts things at an even bout by eliminating Justin Credible with The Rock Bottom. Triple H gets X-Pac eliminated following the Pedigree, but Sycho Sid evens the odds by defeating Kurt Angle with a powerbomb. Sid ends up being disqualified for chokeslamming “Stone Cold” through a table, but Austin is unable to get back into the match afterwards so he gets counted out. Hall and Nash utilize quick tags to keep The Rock in the ring way longer than he should have been, but he fights back and is able to hit Hall with The People’s Elbow, but Nash comes in with a big boot and the Jackknife Powerbomb to send Rock out! Hall and Nash overpower Triple H, but the fans cheer wildly when Shawn Michaels limps out to the ring! Nobody even knew he was in the building! He scares off Hall and Nash before they can deliver the final blow to Hunter, and crotch chops toward them – before superkicking Triple H! He crotch chops at him, as Nash comes in and makes a one footed cover, winning the match for The Band! Shawn and Nash do a big high five – it’s been a setup all along! The Band all re-enter the ring, and Shawn personally spraypaints “LOSER” on Triple H’s back! Survivor Series closes with The Band standing tall!
Show Notes- Kane seemed off his game during the tag match.
- The Women’s title match was penalized for trying to calm a crowd that wasn’t peaked (though I can’t imagine that held it back by a lot, given the general position of women on the card).
- Undertaker looked excellent during the SD! Survivor Series bout.
- Torrie vs. Harley was a completely disjointed mess of a match, with very little selling or psychology. But it still rated better than the Women’s title match… because boobs?
- Triple H was kept strong in losing; Shawn Michaels’s turn was a complete success. X-Pac was clearly wasted on drugs during the match
- Getting better at gimmicks: Josh Mathews
- After the show, Triple H and Shawn Michaels were praised and pointed out for how well they did the turn, while Scott Hall was simply told he could have done better in his segments. He didn’t seem very concerned about it, but Shawn seemed pleased and Triple H was very happy.
- DirecTV weren’t pleased with the quality of Survivor Series; it was a 74, they wanted 76.
- Steve Austin, Kurt Angle, The Rock, Triple H, Shawn Michaels, Kevin Nash, and Sid were all annoyed that X-Pac wrestled while clearly wasted. He was fined for his actions.
- Hardcore Holly popped for steroids again, he was given another slap on the wrist over it.
- Steve Austin: “Funaki can talk the legs off a damn horse, give him a mic once in awhile.”
- The Big Show: “X-Pac is a good worker, he’s been getting even better lately.”
- The Rock: “Matt Hardy is a great talker, maybe he’ll never be as good as me, but he should be allowed to talk more often.”
- Kevin Nash: “The fans are never going to take to Test; you already have one ‘big sexy’ so why bother keeping him?”
- Ratings: 1.16 (PPV), 1.11 (TV)
PredictionsAsaemon: 4 cmhunk: 4 crackerjack: 4 DGenerationMC: 4 dhk1989: 4 The Final Countdown: 4 So… ummm… I didn’t even think about putting together a tiebreaker for this one, because who would have imagined EVERYONE would get all the same matches right? So I think what I’ll do here is just keep everyone’s 4 here and add them on when Vengeance is ready, and give a bigger prize as we move into the Royal Rumble. I hope everyone enjoyed Survivor Series!

This is why I count survivors for predictions.
Survivor Series was a good show. Look at big Sid eliminate Angle and Austin in the main! HBK's turn was played off well - I wasn't sure if Trips or Shawn was turning here. I have feeling Armaggedon will be a better show grade wise, it's hard to pull off great Survivor Series without a singles main event in TEW.

November 2001: Week 4
Show Notes- Bob Orton was seen backstage teaching son Randy some tips on psychology.

- Getting better at gimmick: Justin Credible, Kevin Nash, Scott Hall
- Bruce Pritchard: “You really should be giving Matt Hardy some speaking time more often, he’s a natural on the mic.”
- Kevin Nash: “Tommy Dreamer might be a bingo hall champion, but he ain’t cutting it with crowds of more than 15 drunks.”
Show Notes- The Rock’s gimmick is beginning to get stale.
- Kurt Angle and Eddie Guerrero had their gimmicks tweaked, as they were beginning to get a little stale.
- Getting better at gimmick: The Hurricane, Erica Harley, Christopher Nowinski
Show Notes- Sting’s gimmick was tweaked, so he should no longer be coming off as stale.
- Norman Smiley brought in a bunch of free drinks for everyone, improving the mood.
- Scott Steiner was seen passing on some selling tips to protege Rellik, while Paul Orndorff was showing some psychology tips to Mark Jindrak and Sean O’Haire, while teaching Mike Sanders some fine tuned aspects of playing babyface.
- Jeff Jarrett and Lance Storm didn’t work very well as a team.
- Scott Steiner and Chuck Palumbo’s match had a lack of psychology, but the match was barely two minutes so that was no shock.
- Samoa Joe debuted with a Wrestling Machine (Brute) gimmick, which gets an initial Above Average reaction.
- Goldberg vs. Awesome suffered because there was not much psychology in the match. Goldberg was furious at first, but was told he would be kept strong and protected so he agreed to the draw.

Show Notes - Tazz lightened the mood with some funny drawings of some of his colleagues.
- Ivory’s gimmick is getting stale.
- X-Pac was clearly on drugs during his match on Heat, which is why it was decided to take the Light Heavyweight title off of him on SmackDown so that he could be sent to rehab again. He proved himself all over again by wrestling both stoned and drunk on SmackDown. But he was happy to be sent to rehab again.

The Week That Was- Word has it that the locker room morale on the WWF RAW brand has tanked over the past few months. One must wonder if the focus on the clique members has a lot to do with this, but it is beginning to affect the show, to that point that TNN weren’t happy with the show not living up to the standard that they want for RAW. SmackDown doesn’t have this problem.
- The team of BATT (Keiji Mutoh and Taiyo Kea) won NJPW’s G1 Climax Tag League, winning the tournament by defeating first Gedo & Jado, then Junior Stars, and finally Jushin Liger and El Samurai.
- The Yokozuna Benefit Memorial Show was held this past week, which was held in Connecticut to 1,250 fans. These fans were treated to a solid show, featuring veterans like Glen Ruth (Headbanger Thrasher), Horace Hogan and Lodi teaming up in a Flock reunion, a match of veterans in Barry Windham defeating Mike Enos, the Insane Clown Posse against New Jack and Mike Rapada in a wild one that went all around the arena, Tank Abbott defeating the former Mabel/Viscera, and the Road Warriors teaming up to take on LA Smooth and The Warlord. The main event was BG James and Chaz Warrington defeating Tonga Kid and Perry Saturn. The show sent most of their benefits to charity, but there is currently no word on if the show will happen again next year.
- Reports from backstage at Nitro saw that Eric Bischoff purposely put Mr. Wrestling 3 and Samoa Joe in the same room backstage for a while, and the two came out of it with a strong friendship.
- AJ Styles and Air Paris both requested pay raises from WCW. Both were given 75% of the amount they requested; AJ earned himself $1,620 more a month to bring his contract to $4,540, with Paris getting $1,552 to go up to $3,052.
- Rumors say that Xtreme Pro Wrestling may be shortly following their east coast “rivals” ECW in going under soon. Despite the broadcasting deal they recently signed, they seem to be bleeding money and stars may begin looking for work elsewhere.
- WWF Ratings: WWF RAW (11.72); WWF SmackDown! (14.06); WWF Jakked (0.13); WWF Heat (0.83)
- WCW Ratings: US/Mexico PPV (0.03); Japan/Europe/Australia TV (3.18)
