This Day in Wrestling History: 9/27/19

​As always wrestling gives us both great memories and memories we try and forget, but with the amount of moments worth remembering that have happened we are bound to forget some. The same could be said about some talent that were very much underrated during their career or never at the top of a company during a run this unfortunately makes it easier for fans to forget certain talent. These two are very different talent and had two very different careers while they worked in this great business. Sometimes we encounter those that deserve to be remembered and acknowledged. I would like to wish a very big Happy Birthday to all who are celebrating their special day today and especially to the one featured below.​
Happy Birthday to Ricky Fuji who turns 54 years old 
Happy Birthday to Ortiz who turns 28 years old

Nerd Note: Billy Robinson was an extremely accomplished mat wrestler becoming a legend on every continent in the world. Robinson also trained mixed martial arts fighters in catch wrestling. Robinson also stared alongside Verne Gagne and Ed Asner in the 1974 version of The Wrestler.

This Day in Wrestling History: Planting the Seeds

For once I will be using this article to feed into the next Monday Morning Quarterback, because this is an event that deserves that type of retelling. By now fans had been growing a little tired of nobody being able to even dent the platform that had been set up by the New World Order. Looking at this card there is a reason that 1997 is one of the peak years for WCW when it seemed like everything was going right. One thing that made WCW different was they wouldn't use the same commentary team for the entire show normally switching out Mike Tenay for Bobby Heenan on Nitro or Mike Tenay would join the team for Cruiserweight matches on PPV to provide better insight on the competitors. 

This match in my opinion was the height of the NWO's first chapter and there first major feud for the stable was the Four Horseman and this was the blow off. Earlier in the year we had the pleasure to have the unfortunate moment of seeing Arn Anderson announce his retirement and award his spot in the Four Horsemen to Curt Hennig. I will save the breakdown the match and what followed for the Monday Morning QB upcoming, but it's the little mistakes that added up. 

Overall rating: B+ 
A number of solid matches and I would also point out that even though Hogan and Sting were in the mix of their legendary feud and didn't need to be included in the event. This PPV put on display the depth that WCW had at one point and what they could do when they can focus on the booking at not things that were out of their control.

Nerd Note: A little bit of useless knowledge Joe E Legend was once a WWE employee working under the name Just Joe for about a year (2000-2001). Legend also teamed with Kevin Northcutt in NWA-TNA as the Red Shirt Security Team holding the NWA World Tag Titles in 2004. One last one about Legend is that he has been long time friends with Christian, Edge, and Rhino. 

Thirty six years ago Jay Youngblood & Ricky Steamboat had a white hot feud with Sgt Slaughter & Don Kernodle culminating in a bloody steel cage match at The Final Conflict in March 1983. These two teams had the classic baby face vs ruthless heel dynamic and were able to sell out the Greensboro Coliseum. Sadly, Jay would pass away September 2nd, 1985 as a result of heart failure.
