Welcome to the final edition of Bethea's Byte before Survivor Series. We are just under 48 hours from WWE's Fall Classic. I have never been more excited about a Survivor Series event since the Main Event Survivor Series Match featured the Hulkamaniacs (Hulk Hogan, Big Boss Man, Tugboat & Hacksaw Jim Duggan) faced the Natural Disasters (Earthquake, Dino Bravo, Haku & Barbarian). I will rundown the card for the 21st annual Survivor Series later in the column. Also, I have decided to leave What Bugs Me on a recurring basis for serious topics. Next week, I will feature my thoughts on the CNN interview with former WWE Champion John Cena and allegations of steroid usage. This week, however, it's my usual suspects: Results recap, Inside Bethea's Head and What to Watch For. Let's get it on!

INSIDE BETHEA'S HEAD
- If the Great Khali defeats Hornswoggle, I would like to see all the little people unite together and riot! (lol)
- Reunited and it feels so good. The Outsiders are back and in full effect. Hey Angle, what is your new "Alliance" gonna do now?
- Serious note: I now see that there are two news sources that are biased in their reporting: one political (FOX News), and one investigative (CNN).
- I've cracked the code. Did you? Find out Monday Night on RAW!
- Can Booker T make the same splash in TNA as he did in WCW and WWE?
- Somebody PLEASE do something with Team 3D and put them where they really belong: contending for a Tag Team Championship!
