On This Day in WWE History

[R-Troop]

While it sucked that it happened... holding off was exponentially better for Becky, it got her into the Main Event of WrestleMania. Doubt she'd get there after taking an L at Survivor Series.

 

[Professor Booty]

I remember this shit like it was yesterday

 

[Samoa Looch]

And then they put the rockets on Tenta until he hit the brick wall made out of Hulk Hogan sadly, as so many talented Wrestlers did.

 

[Professor Booty]

Back then though it really was all about who could draw and love him or hate him Hogan drew millions

Right or wrong that was the biz

 

[Samoa Looch]

Of course. No one can deny that.

 

[Chris]

Always still reasonable improvements that can be made. I've seen people replace the Sgt Slaughter title run with an Earthquake one (more or less, the timeline isn't perfect) and maybe they don't have to move Mania that year if it's Hulk vs Earthquake redux instead of pretending to be at a war people didn't wanna think about

 

[Professor Booty]

To have not have done the Slaughter traitor run after all would have been fine with me. I’d of been behind a Quake run for sure during that time or Rude or Perfect

Yeah I'd have leaned Rude or Perfect myself, Rude probably the most likely candidate since he was feuding with Warrior SummerSlam time the year before

 

[Professor Booty]

In a perfect Booty world it would of been Orndorff years earlier

Him and Roddy just the victims of heels not having title reigns in the 80s tbh lol any other era and they probs would have

 

[Professor Booty]

I was such a Mr Wonderful mark as a kid I’d of loved it

Supposedly the match was gonna play out the same way it did with Charlotte and the DQ

Like you mean Becky would have snapped and got DQd instead? Would make sense

According to Meltzer yeah if my memory serves me right. I also wanna say the format of the match was the same because of rehearsals but that part could just me making it up.
