#OnThisDay in 1994: WWF King of the Ring PPV: King of the Ring Semifinals: Owen Hart defeated 1-2-3 Kid in maybe the best sub 5 minute match of all time.

Rolling Dreamer was released as Tsuruta's first single about a year before he began using it as his entrance music
A little known fact is Jumbo was at one point workshopping a cover of Hotel California
Robert Gibson had this talent of being able to do big farts on command and he gassed Ricky Morton one time in Mid South while Ricky was trying to cut a promo as a rib.

Bret Hart has said in the early 80's, Stu Hart paid him $600 a week, which was more than most of the guys not in the main event were making in Stampede. He admits that Stu and Helen went broke on Stampede in part because they provided steady full time livings for their kids.
#OnThisDay in 1987: JCP World Wide Wrestling aired: Bobby Eaton hits The Gravedigger on George South.

Because it buries you 6 feet under.
