How about the Brain Busters vs. High Energy from 1989, 3 years before High Energy became an actual tag team.

I might be misremembering but I swear "Naked Mideon" was originally just called "Naked Man" the first couple times he showed up.

So wild seeing Hogan in his traditional colors several years before those were like, 100% established, and also not really doing any of the Hulk Hogan stuff. Completely different personality compared to what he would become.

Think he is called such when he runs in on Chyna's announcement about Playboy.

Did you know that Karrion Kross made his WWE debut in 2015 as Darren Young's tag team partner against The Ascension?

I wonder if the original plans were for them to be a full time face tag team. It's better for them to go heel but they got a pretty good reaction there. The heel tag team side was pretty skimpy so I guess things changed. Not sure if Demolition turned yet but you only had Honky and Hammer and Orient Express I believe on the heel side.

This is a tournament that happened apparently: Here's the first round match of The Can-Am Connection versus Danny Spivey and THE Jerry Allen himself! www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q25tJoCzTd0

Just looking through results. I find it interesting that in January 1984, Tito Santana got a shot at the Iron Sheik's WWF Title, then the next month Sheik was challenging Tito for his newly-won IC title. Pretty neat.

One night tag tournaments with the winners facing the Hart Foundation at the end of then night. It happened a couple of times and they gave a few different teams a chance to main event.

I remember PWI giving the Harts a lot of shit for defending their titles this way. "Oh sure, defending against a team that already wrestled 2-3 times that night!" But they also said Jimmy Hart was a genius for coming up with this plan.
