Speaking of Canadians, Earthquake’s last WWF match: youtu.be/LZhBydjoVBwNo, it’s not the Gimmick Battle Royal. Instead it’s a dark match from an Orlando taping in December 2001. In fact though he wrestled after in Canada, Italy, and most extensively in AJPW in Japan after, this might be his last US match period. LISTEN TO THAT POP FOR QUAKE!!!!!

Lou Thesz vs. Masahiro Chono: youtu.be/-tUGq59BJ0QAn oddity for a few reasons. Thesz said it would be his last match and actually stayed true to that. This was also one of only two matches Thesz wrestled in his 70s and the only match he had in the 1990s. Also, during Chono’s active career Thesz only wrestled one other match. It was that 1987 legend’s battle royal in the WWF.

Headbangers defended their tag titles against Bret & Bulldog (who oddly teamed up like twice in WWF in 2 v 2 action)on raw in september '97.
So bulldog pins the wrong headbanger, the other complains about it, and the ref just takes his word for it and restarts the match. Thought that spot was reserved for the heel team. Davey the attacks the headbangers with the US flag and gets DQ'ed. Odd match

I just came across an old WCW promo on YouTube for a house show in April 97 in Montreal promoting a match between the future PCO vs the Giant. I know Montreal was a completely different world in the 90's and Pierre would often have featured matches while in WWF. Like the famous one vs Diesel, but if anyone remembers the way the Amazing French Canadians were used in WCW as basically a Jobber to the Stars team this was truly a shock to see.

That's likely the same house show where Hogan faced Jaques Rougeau... and took a clean pinfall loss.

Yeah they were on Nitro all the time in 97 but I don't think they ever won a match lol felt bad that Public Enemy were pushed a lot harder than them because they were a lot better.

It is so weird to think that Samu of the Headshrinkers was in the match where Hulk Hogan returned to the WWF for his big run which essentially changed the landscape of pro wrestling, its weird watching it in the dimly lit small arena setting of the 80's and how things had changed in 8 years when Samu returned and it the WWF looked like a whole other lifetime www.youtube.com/watch?v=LYqSRF-9DP0

It's weird when you think about how much different he looked just 9 years later. Looked like he aged about 20 years.

Was looking at results for old WWF shows like Jakked, Heat and Shotgun Saturday Night just to see what kind of interesting names pop up. Neat seeing names like Moxley and Samoa Joe pop up on some of these shows years before they were famous.
But the weirdest thing I found? Apparently on the February 27, 1999 edition of Shotgun Saturday Night was main evented by Triple H defeating Buddy Landel of all people.

Was this the match where Vince Russo was on commentary and said something to the effect of "I think Buddy Landel looks in great shape considering I thought he was dead"?

It's always surreal for me to recall Hogan had not one, but two singles matches after his WWF return but prior to beating the Iron Sheik for the title. Hulk Hogan vs. Bill DixonThat first match is surreal. Hogan is in full Eye of the Tiger, Hulkamania mode and struggling with a jobber for 5 minutes. So weird to see considering after this, we would hardly ever see him wrestle on TV, and if he did it was against a top heel on Saturday Night's Main Event or a pay-per-view. He shows some really impressive mat wrestling and submissions too. The stuff he would only bust out in Japan. Thanks for sharing this.

I'm really late replying to this, but WWE has had half a dozen guys that hit people with a guitar Two guys that made their moves much more powerful by wearing a sock on their hand Various guys carrying/regularly using a chain or a bull rope or an umbrella or a plunger or a bucket of pig slop But a top rope big splash with a carpet is indy bullshit... f*** Bill DeMott
