On this day in history in ....
1971 - Marie Vagnone & Jane Sherill defeat Jumbo Miyamoto & Aiko Kyo to win back the WWWA World Tag Team Title in Niigata, Japan, only one day after losing the belts.
1975 - Dusty Rhodes defeats Bob Roop to begin his second reign as NWA Florida Heavyweight Champion in Tampa.
1982 - Kevin Sullivan defeats Barry Windham in a tournament final for the NWA Florida Heavyweight Title in Tampa. The belt had been vacated on August 23, 1982 following a controversial match between champion B. Brian Blair and Bruiser Brody where Brody was declared the winner, but the decision was then reversed.
1985 - World Class Championship Wrestling held it's second "Cotton Bowl Extravaganza" at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas, Texas, drawing over 25,000 fans. Here are the results of the show:
- Killer Tim Brooks defeated Steve Casey.
- Kelly Kiniski defeated Tommy Montana.
- The Fantastics defeated John Tatum & Dave Peterson.
- The Great Kabuki defeated Mark Lewin by disqualification.
- Texas Heavyweight Champion Brian Adidas defeated Jack Victory.
- Iceman King Parsons defeated The One Man Gang in the third round of a Taped Fist match via knockout.
- In a No DQ, "Hair vs. Hair" match, Kerry & Kevin Von Erich defeated Chris Adams & Gino Hernandez.
1990 - Tony Anthony & Doug Gilbert defeat Jeff Jarrett & Jeff Gaylord for the USWA World Tag Team Title in Memphis, Tennessee, ending Jarrett & Gaylord's second title reign. However, on the same show, Jeff Jarrett defeats Dick Slater to win the USWA Southern Heavyweight Title.
1997 - The Monday Night Wars continued, with WCW Monday Nitro getting a 3.9 victory over WWF Monday Night Raw's 3.0. Nitro featured Cruiserweight Champion Eddie Guerrero defeating Ultimo Dragon and United States Champion Curt Hennig defeating Chris Benoit, while Raw saw Hunter Hearst Helmsley defeat World Champion Bret Hart via countout and Intercontinental Champion Owen Hart defeat Hawk. However, while Nitro had the larger audience, Raw definitely left a more lasting impression due to two very different, yet very controversial, segments.
