This Day in Wrestling History

By -
This day 14 years ago during a low point of the Monday Night Wars, WCW went a little to far with a certain match. Sting vs Rick Steiner was a match on the card for the Television Title and it was a Falls Count Anywhere Match. This match took place at the Great American Bash 1999 live on PPV but it wasn't the match that was a problem. Most people thought this match would be good because of who is in it Sting & Rick Steiner two of the better workers the company had left. But not tonight as during the match they went backstage and when the camera found them they found Sting being attacked not by another wrestler. He was being attacked by dogs some of which were led in by Scott Steiner.

This was a definite low point of the Monday Night Wars and for WCW because they pulled this stunt and they are lucky Sting didn't get severely injured from the stunt. The ending of match saw "one of the dogs" pin Sting which gave Rick Steiner the win. Does anyone if a dog really pinned Sting nope, but does anyone really care I don't think so either. The Main Event of  the show saw Randy Savage challenge World Champion Kevin Nash for the title but lose via DQ. The DQ came when Sid Vicious returned to the WCW after 6 years away from the company as Randy's bodyguard.

I guess in away this show might have told the future for the outlandish things WCW would later do and get away with. But they'd also hurt the WCW banner to know end and to this day most people can't figure out why WCW did half of things they did.

WWE Fast Lane 2015: PPV Predictions

WWE Fast Lane: WWE Tag Team Title Match: (c) The Uso's vs Cesaro & Tyson Kidd As the Tag division gets smaller and smaller in my book the expectations of this match should be getting higher, because the smaller the division the more weight it puts on the shoulders of the teams in the division. I do firmly believe if they give this match the time it could be a good match, as these teams I feel have good chemistry in the ring with each other. I think Cesaro and Kidd walk away with the titles after Nattie turns heel helping Tyson & Cesaro win. Divas Title Match: (c) Nikki Bella w/ Brie vs Paige Though this has been like much of the diva feuds of the past with the fact that this feud has gotten a lot of TV time leading into this match. However, I still fear that WWE isn't ready to give the divas a good amount of time for their matches just yet. I have a funny feeling Nikki will win with help from Brie and this may set up a tag team divas match fo

WZR is reporting that the future of WWE diva Kelly Kelly may be in doubt not that WWE would fire her but that the time off she is taking now may be permenate. Kelly who debuted 6 years ago hasnt really taken any time away from the ring since debut and many think she is burnt out from all the travel. Because of that many feel will not return to WWE but management isnt happy because they feel she is their most marketable diva. While away she is looking into doing things that have nothing do with wrestling as her placement in the Maxim top 100 has opended a lot of doors for her away from WWE. I hope Kelly or WWE dont burn the bridge preventing a possible return for Kelly if she does decide to go away from WWE becuase she is a very marketable talent. The future for the now Former Executive Vice President of Talent Relations John Laurinaitis still isnt complete termination as it seems he is making a change from an office employee to a guy on the road. As he is apparently booking the house
