This man like many others had made a name for himself in other promotions, & was highly touted in the business. But WWE didn't care about Terry's past they wanted to make him what ever they wanted. So they did and Terry Taylor debuts in WWF as Red Rooster. A complete joke of a character and a waste of a possible top heel. Due to Terry's talent he did end up getting the gimmick over which a credit to his talent as a performer.
Today i would like to wish a happy birthday to the only person to win the world title in both WWWF & WWF. He also a dubious distication of the shortest world title in wwf history which 8 seconds in 94 if you did get with those hints then i will tell you wish a happy birthday to Mr. Bob Backlaud as he turns 62 today. He has 4 regins as world champion but 2 of his regins are under the NWA affilation which is not the case therfore not counted with the other 2. Not many know this but Bob actually said he didnt want to drop the belt to hogan saying he would only drop the title to someone with amatur background which hulk didnt have so he drop it to Sheik instead. He then did not show up in the WWE again until 94 when he was in the mix of a feud with the Hitman over the WWE Title which he ended up winning at Survior Series in a thorugh in the towel submission match. Only to lose the belt to diesel 3 days later in the 8 sec non-televised match i spoke about before which it runs a...
This day 14 years ago the pendulum of the Monday Wars swung towards the side of the WWE because on this night the most controversial stable in Pro-Wrestling history was reformed. The night prior at WrestleMania 14 Shawn Michaels fought Steve Austin for the WWF Title which Austin won and it HBK left because of a severe back injury. The next night Triple H took over a leader and expanded the group to 5 members instead of 3. To open the show Hunter reveled that Shawn was hurt and wouldn't be returning anytime soon. So to start he introduced the newest member of DX one of his best friends the returning 123 Kid later known as X-Pac. When Pac gets on the microphone he deeply rips into not only Hogan, & WCW but also Eric Bischoff which this was the first time anyone on a WWF show mention anything WCW. X-Pac said "Nash & Hall would've been there with him but Eric Bischoff was holding them hostage at the WC...
Today's special day as i am back doing a show not a bday & not a ppv but an actual show i am talking about August 22nd 2005 Monday Night Raw. As that was the first time Angle fought Benjamin one on one in a very good mat based match. But that wasnt the hightlight of the show the main event was with stangly enough the "highlight of the night" Chris Jericho vs John Cena for the WWE Title. That match went 15 minutes and also showed that even though Cena defended, the title the night before he would be a fighting champion & because of how good the match was it added crediblity to the first time champions regin. Not many people know this but when Cena, debuted he didnt have the backing managment that he does now it took Chris Jericho putting him over cause he saw somthing in him. Vince didnt see somthing in him other than just another mid-carder but Jericho thought he could be bigger. Also back to that night Chris was leaving on that show so they decided to make it a l...
