On this Day in Pro Wresting History



In 2001, WWF Vengeance was held in San Diego, California
– Edge defeats William Regal to retain the WWF Intercontinental Title
– Jeff Hardy defeats Matt Hardy with Lita as special guest referee
– The Dudley Boyz (Bubba Ray & D-Von) defeat The Big Show & Kane to retain the WWF Tag Team titles
– The Undertaker defeats Rob Van Dam to win the WWF Hardcore Title
– Trish Stratus defeats Jacqueline to retain the WWF Womens Title
– Chris Jericho wins a 4-Man Tournament, defeating The Rock and Stone Cold Steve Austin in the same night to unify the WWF Title and the World Heavyweight Title, becoming the first ever WWF Undisputed Champion



1995 - ECW held their "December To Dismember" event at the ECW Arena in South Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
The show was headlined by an "Ultimate Jeopardy" cage match, but the big news out of the event was The Sandman winning the ECW World Heavyweight Title by defeating Steve Austin and Mikey Whipwreck in a Three Way Dance. Here are the results of the show:
- Dances With Dudleys & Dudley Dudley defeated The Bad Crew.
- Taz defeated El Puerto Ricano.
- Hack Myers defeated Bruiser Mastino.
- The Eliminators defeated The Pitbulls.
- Raven defeated Tommy Dreamer.
- JT Smith defeated Tony Stetson.
- The Sandman defeated ECW World Heavyweight Champion Mikey Whipwreck and Steve Austin in a Three Way Dance to win the title. Austin pinned Whipwreck to eliminate him first, then Sandman pinned Austin to win the title. This was Steve Austin's second, and last, actual match in ECW (the previous month, he lost to Mikey Whipwreck in a singles match) although he did interviews for several more weeks of ECW television before going to the WWF.
- Public Enemy defeated The Heavenly Bodies (Jimmy Del Rey & Tom Pritchard).
- In an Ultimate Jeopardy Steel Cage match, Public Enemy, The Pitbulls & Tommy Dreamer defeated The Heavenly Bodies, The Eliminators, Raven and Stevie Richards when Dreamer pinned Richards. As a result, Richards was locked in the cage with all of his opponents for five minutes.
