I didn't have all that much to work with this week compared to usual... only one pay-per-view (ECW Living Dangerously). Thankfully, ECW and WCW have TV titles.

1990 - The Great Sasuke made his debut.

1986 - The first ever WWF Slammy Awards are broadcast live on MTV. This included live performances of the songs on "The Wrestling Album", including "Grab Them Cakes" as performed by Junkyard Dog and "Stand Back" by Vincent Kennedy McMahon. I never saw this because I was six years old and all, but that's what I read.

1992 - Here's the story that Hyatte might find humorous (like HE reads this)... top-ranking WWF officials Pat Patterson and Tony Garea resign on the hells of allegations of sexual misconduct allegations by former WWF employees including wrestler Barry Orton, two former ring attendants, and former front office worker.

1936 - A NWA World title change... Dick Shikat beats Danno O'Mahony.

BIRTHDAYS: It's Boom Boom Cannon's birthday! Don't ask me who he is... but his name is funny.

1922 - Ed "Stangler" Lewis won the NWA World belt from Stanislaus Zbyszko.

1995 - The All-Japan Triple Crown changes hands, with Stan Hansen winning it from Toshiaki Kawado.

1991 - Tatsumi Fujinami became the IWGP Heavyweight champ by defeating Big Van Vader.

1984 - The NWA World tag team titles changed hands, as Wahoo McDaniel (I had my picture taken with him!) and Mark Youngblood beat Don Kernodle & Bob Orton, Jr. (Any relation to Barry? Have you met Pat?).

1961 - To follow up on last week's question about wondering how the Cow Palace was named (thanks, CRZ)... Roy Shire promoted his first wrestling card at the Cow Palace.

1994 - Time for that weekly "Big Boys Shopping Network" joke... Public Enemy (We've got a steal for you! That's DEAL, you idiot! Oh man... that was the greatest) won the ECW tag belts from Tasmaniac and Kevin "Bookerman" Sullivan. The ECW TV belt also changed hands twice in one day, with Taz winning it from Sabu and then losing it to J.T. Smith (gee, that's gotta do something to that whole invincibility thing).

1992 - In his pro boxing debut, Paul Roma loses in the fourth round to Jerry Arentzen after Roma's manager throws the towel in. I want to throw a Four Horsemen joke in here, but I just can't think of one.

1979 - The WWF (or maybe WWWF... I don't know) tag titles were won by Johnny & Jerry Valient, thanks to a victory of shirtless Tony Garea and "The Living Golf Expert" Larry Zbyszko. Why DID Garea give his shirt to Tori, anyway? Has he been hanging around Patterson again?

1963 - The WWWF International tag belts (now known as the WWF tag gold) changed hands as "Stone Cold" Buddy Austin and The Great Scott beat Buddy Rogers & "Handsome" John Barend.

1940 - Yet another NWA belt change back in the old days... Ray Steele beat Bronko Nagurski.
