1997 - Hayabusa, Masato Tanaka & Hisakatsu Oya defeat Atsushi Onita, Tetsuhiro Kuroda & Hido to win the FMW World Street Fight 6-Man Tag Team Title in Osaka, Japan.
1999 - During a live edition of Nitro from Baltimore, Maryland, Bret Hart vacates the WCW World Heavyweight Title due to a controversial win over Goldberg in a title defense the previous night at Starrcade when Roddy Piper (the fourth referee for the match, after three others were knocked out), called for the bell while Hart was putting Goldberg in the Sharpshooter, claiming Goldberg had submitted. The idea was that Vince Russo had told Piper to give Hart the match in order to "right the wrong" of the Montreal screwjob. Later in the show, Hart defeated Goldberg in a rematch to become a two-time WCW World Heavyweight Champion with the help of Kevin Nash and Scott Hall. Roddy Piper then ran down to help Goldberg, but was attacked by Jeff Jarrett (who earlier in the show defeated Chris Benoit in a ladder match to win the U.S. Title). Nash, Hall, Jarrett, and Hart then reformed the NWO, with Nash stating "The band is back together".
