On this day in professional wrestling history...

25 years ago... Stone Cold stuns Mr. McMahon for the first time. It was one of the worst stunners ever taken but at least the very last Stunner 25 years later at Wrestlemania 38 was even worse.

Another one for the "these two had a match?" pile. It's the only singles match between The Rock and Jeff Jarrett.

If the timestamp doesn't work, it's at 33:17 of this video:

Man, Vince was so underrated on commentary. I feel like that might have been the last PPV he called.

I mean, given what happened at the very next PPV......

But really, I've always felt the reason he was good on commentary was because it's his show. He's talking in a way to get the show across to the fans because he knows how he wants every moment to be described and reacted to. His vision is being articulated by himself to the fans rather than yelling in a headset trying to explain his mind to someone else to then explain to the viewers.


Side note, in kayfabe, is Kane indirectly responsible for the screwjob? If not for Kane, Undertaker is the winner and faces Bret at Survivor Series. Kane screwed Bret!

Raw Roulette episodes were always fun. Say what you want about gimmick matches, but it sure was entertaining.

Yeah, watching the RA documentary talking about all the new ways they innovated including RAW Roulette was a fun trip back down memory lane. Triple H should adds themes to episodes of RAW & SD like he did with NXT as a way to cut back on PLE and not having them every month. RAW Roulette once a year, or "Spin The Wheel, Make The Deal" added to Extreme Rules where every match is determined by the wheel.
