This Day in Wrestling History

By -
This day 10 years ago WWE held the annual King of the Ring Tournament which was won by edge. But also had the infamous Street Fight between Kurt Angle vs Shane McMahon. (Infamous b/c it is or was featured in the Don't try this at home ad which aired before all DVD/VHS.) Also on that night it had a 3 way for the World  Title between Steve Austin vs Chris Benoit vs Chris Jericho leading into the match people thought because of their roots winning the title would lead Benoit or Jericho to jump to the WCW. Though they didn't win or jump ship something else did happened and it was the 5 time 5 time 5 time WCW champion who had an impact in the match making his debut by bookending Austin through one of the announcers tables.
Which this wasnt the first attack as WCW had be at large in the WWE for months as the WCW/ECW went out of buisness months before and WWE got both companies and did this for more money. With the first person being Mike Awsome who attacked Hardcore champion Rhino during a match at MSG in i think march of 01.

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...

As of this writing there are rumors going through WWE that Zack Ryder could be on his way out of WWE not only with other people but he could be asking for his release in the very near future. As he has hinted on more then one occasion that he is frustrated with how WWE has been using him. At first it boiled over back in the Summer with the mid card guys but now since nothing has changed Ryder and others have adopted the "I don't give a s***" attitude when it comes to if they get fired or not. Once again I don't know everyone all I know is that it is a lot of the mid-card & divas who feel they are not being valued as good as they should be. Ryder has said it on his Youtube show Z True Long Island Story that WWE dropped the ball with him and that 2012 sucked for him. Which I agree with both statements I mean it was the perfect opportunity for WWE to push someone new but they instead botched it and made him lose all of his momentum. For one reason he wasn't push ...
