This Week in Wrestling: Never Before, Never Again

From November 20, 2011.

Today is Sunday, November 20, 2011. Later tonight marks the 25th anniversary of the Survivor Series event and will be taking place in New York inside the legendary Madison Square Garden in front of thousands of screaming fans. Tonight, we will see CM Punk challenge Alberto Del Rio for the WWE Championship, two giants colliding once again for the World Heavyweight Championship, and a classic Survivor Series match that pits Randy Orton's team going up against Wade Barrett's team. However, something bigger is happening tonight. Tonight also marks the return to the ring of The Rock. This will be his first time competing inside a wrestling ring since 2004 when he teamed with Mick Foley against Evolution at Madison Square Garden. Tonight, The Rock will be teaming up against John Cena to take on The Miz & R-Truth! We will find out if The Rock has any ring rust and we'll also find out if he can work alongside John Cena without any problems. The Rock & John Cena team up tonight in a match that is being billed as never before, never again. Together, can they take down The Miz & R-Truth who have been running rampant in the WWE?

What most people have neglected to see is that this past Friday & Saturday, there were two huge independent wrestling events to give us an appetite for tonight's Survivor Series. Those shows were called Survival of the Fittest 2011 & Glory by Honor X. Both events are from the Ring of Honor company and both shows delivered big time! The Survival of the Fittest event was a tournament to see who was the best man to challenge Davey Richards for the ROH World Championship. The tournament featured the very best of Ring of Honor's roster and it was Michael Elgin who came out on top and now has a shot at challenging Davey Richards for his championship belt. The next night was Glory by Honor X, a loaded event that took place in Chicago. Kevin Steen caused mayhem, Wrestling's Greatest Tag Team retained their titles, Eddie Edwards beat Kyle O'Reilly in a stiff contest, Davey Richards retained against El Generico, and Kevin Steen caused more mayhem at the conclusion of the show as things get heated for December's Final Batle.

Tonight is the conclusion to one hell of a week in the world of professional wrestling. The WrestleMania weekends always seem to be the best weekends professional wrestling can offer but it's this weekend in late November that things fall in place and the fans are treated to something special. Never before and never again never meant so much. Do yourselves a favor and check out all of these shows.
