2nd October - 8th October Wrestling History!
2nd October
2000 – After Vince Russo vacated the WCW World Heavyweight Championship he had won seven days prior on Nitro, Booker T defeated Jeff Jarrett to win the vacant title. The match was a ‘San Francisco 49ers’ match which saw the belt and three mystery items held in boxes on poles in each corner of the ring
3rd October
2005 – Monday Night Raw returned to its original home, the USA Network, after five years of broadcasting on Spike TV (Formerly TNN). The show was titled ‘Raw: Homecoming’. It was the first-ever three-hour Raw and had a triple main event. Edge defeated Matt Hardy to retain his Money In The Bank contract in a ladder match, Kurt Angle and Shawn Michaels fought to a 2-2 draw in a 30-minute Ironman Match and in the night’s last match, John Cena defeated Eric Bischoff in a No Disqualification WWE Championship match.
4th October
1975 – Ric Flair was among passengers involved in a plane crash on approach to Wilmington Airport in North Carolina. The plane contained Ric Flair, David Crockett, Bob Bruggers, Tim ‘Mr Wrestling’ Woods, and Johnny Valentine. Although none of the wrestlers passed away, the pilot (Joseph Michael Farkus) slipped into a coma and died two months after the incident. Valentine suffered injuries that confined him to a wheelchair for the rest of his life and Flair famously suffered from a broken back. Multiple doctors implored him to retire from the ring. Instead, he returned to action eight months later.
5th October
1997 – WWE presented In Your House: Badd Blood from the Kiel Center in St. Louis, Missouri. The event became a landmark in wrestling history, featuring Shawn Michaels facing The Undertaker in the very first Hell In A Cell match. The finish to this brutal, classic contest. Ultimately, Michaels won the bout and became the number-one contender for the WWF World Championship. He would receive his title shot the following month at Survivor Series in Montreal against Bret ‘Hitman’ Hart. The bout famously saw the debut of one of the most enduring characters in wrestling history, Kane. Long teased as The Undertaker’s secret little brother by Paul Bearer, the newcomer directly led to the finish of the match by ripping the door from the cell and Tombstoning his ‘brother’ allowing HBK to get the win.
6th October
1999 – Gorilla Monsoon passed away due to complications brought on by diabetes at the age of 62. Monsoon, real name Robert James Marella, was one of the most revered personalities in the history of the company. The Hall Of Famer was a famed wrestler turned commentator and backstage administrator. Famous for manning the desk right behind the entrance curtain to give last-minute direction and timing to wrestlers, the very position was eventually named The Gorilla Position as a tribute to the icon.
7th October
2007 – WWE presented ‘No Mercy’ on PPV from the All-State Arena in Chicago. The event was notable for containing a record three WWE Championship matches. The event began with Randy Orton being awarded the title after John Cena’s pectoral injury prior to the event. Orton was then immediately defeated for the title by Triple H. The Game subsequently defended the title against Umaga before losing it back to Orton in a Last Man Standing match, all on the same night
