Kris and David are back to discuss the week-plus that was November 9-17, 1991. Topics of discussion include:

• WWF tests for steroids for the first time at a TV taping right before a big pieces about the steroid scandal were set to air on Entertainment Tonight and two Inside Edition.
• The end of Ric Flair using the “Big Gold Belt” on WWF TV.
• Hulk Hogan getting attacked by The Undertaker in the Funeral Parlor as the top feud is shifted from Hogan-Flair to Hogan-Undertaker.
• The stacked list of teams in AJPW’s Real World Tag League.
• Ultimo Dragon and American Love Machine make their CMLL debuts in the same weekend.
• National Geographic Explorer spotlights Lucha Libre on TBS, especially Fray Tormenta and Super Barrio.
• Jeff Jarrett teases a heel turn, The Grave Digger and Spirit of America debut, and lots more wackiness on USWA TV.
• The Saga of "The Boss" takes a sharp turn in the Global Wrestling Federation thanks to surprising real life pressures.
• How Magic Johnson’s announcement that he was HIV+ affected wrestling in the immediate aftermath.
• WCW's Bruise Cruise attracting lots of female fans.
