On this Day in Pro Wrestling History



1993 - Cactus Jack became a babyface for the first time in Mick Foley's career following an angle taped for WCW Main Event in Montgomery, Alabama.  Cactus Jack fought Paul Orndorff to a no contest in a streetfight at around the 8-minute mark when Big Van Vader attacked Cactus after Cactus knocked down Harley Race, who was at ringside to scout which of the two men would replace injured WCW U.S. Champion Rick Rude on Vader's team at the Clash of the Champion.  After the bout, Vader, Orndorff, and Race assaulted Cactus.  This would lead to Cactus attacking Orndorff and Vader with a shovel and having a run as a babyface for the remainder of his WCW career.  Foley would remain a babyface until turning heel against Tommy Dreamer in the summer of 1995.

1993 - WWF ran Austin, Texas at the Frank Irwin Center, featuring the following results:
Bob Backlund defeated the Berzerker
WWF IC Champion Shawn Michaels pinned Marty Jannetty by putting his feet on the ropes for leverage
Virgil pinned the Brooklyn Brawler with a Russian leg sweep
Tatanka pinned Damien Demento with the fall away slam
The Headshrinkers defeated Owen Hart & Koko B. Ware after Koko was hit with a flying headbutt behind the referee's back
The Undertaker pinned Papa Shango
WWF World Champion Bret Hart defeated Ric Flair
