Pre-show editor’s notes:

- Brandon here. This is one of the cooler things I’ve gotten to do so far as the EIC (or COO, whatever) of With Leather. Soupy’s doing me a great favor by stepping in and covering the Best And Worst Of Survivor Series, so show him the most ever love so he’ll consider coming back.

- Follow us on Twitter @withleather, follow me personally @MrBrandonStroud and like us on Facebook. Follow Dan at @headabovewater and The Wonder Years at @twypoppunk . I put those links at the end because he’s already got a billion more followers than me.

- If you’re new here and just stopping by to read the guy from your favorite band’s wrestling column, consider stopping back by on Mondays and occasional Sundays for our open discussion threads, and on Tuesdays for the Best And Worst Of Raw.

Pre-show notes, with no sign of Zack Ryder:

- As a prerequisite for this column, make sure you’ve read The Best And Worst Of Raw Gets Rocked and our first ever attempt at a Smackdown live-blog. I’m considering starting a Raw open thread just to let you comment as you go and steal all your jokes.

- Your comments are begged-for and appreciated. That goes for everything posted on With Leather, but especially so here. Also, hey, if you like this go read everything else on the site. We write about actual sports, too. Facebook likes, Google +1s and so on are also encouraged and appreciated.

- Horrid Twitter Commercial: Follow us on Twitter @withleather, follow me personally @MrBrandonStroud and (perhaps most importantly, because this is still a thing) like us on Facebook. You can keep up with updates directly that way, and not have to wait for some random friend to link you.

- A.J. and Kaitlyn actually showed up on this show, so look for them inside.

And without further adieu, please to enjoy the Best and Worst of WWE Survivor Series 2011.
