Trivia Answer: Survivor Series 1997

COMMENTS: That Lariat that Bradshaw did tonight was the best one I ever saw. The girl Ivory beat up looks familiar. I'm gald their's no more Beavaer Cleavage. I wish the Lighweigh division will pick up soon. Hardcore Holly is getting the same cocky attitude that made Jericho popular last year, maybe he'll start "Hollyoholics Anonymous" soon. I actually wish Austin wouldn't of won the belt tonight and would've liked to see how the WWF would've played out the angle as Austin staying at the bottom of the ladder instead of seeing ustin winning the title back and now seeing McMahon trying to get the belt back from Austin week after week on RAW. I think this might get boring in a few more months and maybe WWF will actually will lose ratings. Mos of the matches were short except the last two. As usual, RAW delivers a great main event. The show gets an A. C ya next week.
