World Tag Team Champions: Shawn Michaels & Steve Austin (5/26/1997)
Most of you insiders reading this probably already know the story, but this is the infamous evening where Bret Hart and Shawn Michaels – both scheduled to appear on the program – got into a legitimate argument backstage. Apparently, the argument that started all of this was Bret confronting Shawn over his comments about Bret having “Sunny days” crossing the line a couple weeks back. Once they started fighting, Shawn got a hunk of his hair pulled out of his head and walked out of the company for the second time in four months this time claiming unsafe working conditions and threatened to leave the WWF for good to go work with his “real friends” over in WCW. Nothing concerning the off-screen altercation was mentioned on the air until the following week when the WWF tag team belts were declared vacant for the third time in three years.

The Legion of Doom YouTube/Dailymotion Mixtape
After already becoming legendary figures in the AWA and the NWA, the Road Warriors move on to the WWF to absolutely cement their legacy. Of course they dropped the Road Warriors name and became known only as the Legion of Doom. They debuted in the WWF in July 1990 and instantly started up a war with the most obvious of rivals – the team of Demolition.
The 100 Greatest WWE Matches of the Decade: 2006 (VINTAGE MATT~! edition)
Since Justin and Scott have only reached 2003 in their reviews and any extra work added on them to watch the next forty matches would be difficult and just too much at this time of year (especially when they have their own awesome sports/wrestling/TV forum), I’ll be doing solo shots of the final three years of this ten part column. I want to thank Justin and Scott for ALL their hard work and dedication when they were just merely doing me a favor. Let me assure you, those two guys are good people.
Alright, enough of the man love. As I mentioned in the 2005 column, this is my 500th post here at the blog. The interesting part about that is this post is actually a repost of a column I did after covering all the 2006 PPVs for TheHistoryofWWE.com. Anyways, it’s really hard to believe I’ve spent this much time on a blog, but here we are two and a half years later. I hope you all enjoy this!
Let’s get to the year that was 2006. Read the rest of this entry
