On this Day in Pro Wrestling History
2001 - Two Canadian Wrestling Federation titles change hands in St. Boniface, Manitoba. El Diablo de Jesús defeats Bobby Collins for the CWF Junior Heavyweight Title, ending Collins' fourth reign, and Team Impact (Darren Dalton and Robby Royce) defeat Assisted Suicide (Hurricane Tatum and Rawskillz) to win the CWF Tag Team Title.
2002 - The WWF held the 15th-annual Royal Rumble pay-per-view, the last under the WWF initials, in Atlanta, Georgia at the Philips Arena. The show saw a Ric Flair vs. Vince McMahon streetfight, WWF Undisputed Champion Chris Jericho defeat The Rock, and Triple H win a Royal Rumble that also marked the return (at least temporarily) of Curt Hennig and Goldust to the WWF. Triple H was also the "ironman" of the rumble, lasting in the ring the longest, for 23 minutes and 14 seconds.
