November to Remember (2019)

November to Remember (2019) was the seventh annual November to Remember professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) event produced by Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW). The event took place on November 3, 2019 from the Royal Farms Arena in Baltimore, Maryland. It was the third to be broadcast on pay-per-view.

Nine matches were contested at the event, including one on The Buy In pre-show. In the main event, Jon Moxley defeated Kenny Omega in an Extreme Lights Out match. Chris Jericho retained the ECW World Heavyweight Championship against Cody after Cody's cornerman MJF threw in the towel, thereby preventing Cody from ever challenging for the title again, Rob Van Dam retained the ECW World Television Championship against Taz, and The Impact Players (Justin Credible and Lance Storm) defeated The Voros Twins (Chris Voros and Patrick Voros) in a tag team match to retain the ECW World Tag Team Championship.

Reception
The event received generally positive reviews. Jason Powell of Pro Wrestling Dot Net "enjoyed the show"; it was "refreshing to see an event filled with matches that all felt like they mattered and weren’t just filling time." He also stated that "the crowd was hot and everyone went above and beyond in the ring." Writing for CBS Sports, Brent Brookhouse and Jack Crosby also liked the show, commenting that "the final two matches of the night brought a unique approach that only ECW can truly deliver with a lack of the restrictions imposed on WWE efforts and the elite level talents on the Extreme Championship Wrestling roster." The Moxley-Omega main event and the Jericho-Cody world championship match were the two highest rated matches of the show, with both getting an "A-" grade. Elsewhere on the show, the Van Dam-Taz World Television title match was rated "B+" and the The Impact Players-The Voros Twins for the tag team titles was rated "B".

Aftermath
On the November 14 episode of ECW on TNN, MJF called Cody a liar and a sociopath and if he had not prevented Cody from winning, his career would have been over. Cody came to the ring but was attacked by the debuting Wardlow, revealed to be MJF's bodyguard. Seemingly refusing to face Cody in a match, Cody asked MJF to name his price. MJF laid out three conditions to be met by Cody in order for a match between them to happen at Guilty as Charged: he could not touch MJF until the match, he would have to defeat Wardlow in a steel cage match, and he would have to take ten lashes with a leather belt on live TV. Cody agreed to all the stipulations. On the December 5, 2019 episode, Cody took the ten lashes from MJF, including one from Wardlow. On the December 19 episode, Cody was successful in defeating Wardlow in a steel cage match, but was defeated by MJF at Guilty as Charged on January 5, 2020.

After an investigation in November 2019, ECW was fined $20,000 by the Maryland Athletic State Commission in May 2020 for the Three-Way Stairway to Hell between Warner, Havoc and Bestia 666 and for the unsanctioned match between Moxley and Omega, due to the fact that intentional bleeding is disallowed during professional wrestling matches contested in Maryland.
