Description
25th September - 1st October Wrestling History! 25th September   2000: Vince Russo defeated Booker T in a steel cage match to win the WCW championship on Monday Nitro. The world collectively put their head in their hands. 26th September  1999: WWF Unforgiven was held to just under 16,000 fans at ringside in Charlotte, North Carolina. In the main event, Triple  H won the vacant WWF Championship in a Six-Pack  Challenge against The Rock, Mankind, Kane, The Big Show,  and The British Bulldog with the special referee being  ‘Stone Cold’ Steve Austin. Unfortunately, the PPV will be remembered for the Kennel From Hell match between The  Big Bossman and Al Snow, which was a cage match inside the hell in a cell structure with ‘vicious’ Rottweilers in between. Thankfully, the gimmick wasn’t used again. 27th September  1999: The highest-rated segment in Raw history (In terms of audience size) aired featuring Mankind (Mick Foley)  presenting a ‘This is Your Life’ presentation to the Rock. It would feature guests such as the Rock’s home economics teacher, gym teacher, and old high school girlfriend and he would insult them all in wonderful Rock fashion. The segment had an 8.2 audience rating. 28th September 1998: Following the finish of the previous night’s main event where both Undertaker and Kane pinned WWF  champion Stone Cold Steve Austin, Vince McMahon came to Monday Night Raw to announce that neither ‘Taker nor Kane was the champion. With a ring full of staff, McMahon was about to make his announcement when the cameras cut to Stone Cold driving a Zamboni through the backstage area and then to the ring. Crashing into the ring, Austin then launched himself from the top of the Zamboni and started a beat down on McMahon, in what is one of WWE's most watched segments to this day. 29th September 2005: CM Punk wrestles his first match as a WWE-contracted wrestler when he defeats Danny Inferno in his Ohio Valley  Wrestling debut. 30th September 1960:  One of the most beloved Japanese wrestlers ever, Shohei  ‘Giant’ Baba made his professional wrestling debut for the  Japanese Wrestling Association. Baba would beat Yonetaro  Tanaka in his match while another debuting wrestler,  Antonio Inoki lost to Kintaro Oki.  1st October  2007:  John Cena suffered a torn pectoral muscle in a match with  Mr Kennedy on Raw. The injury would see him vacate the  WWE Championship after 380 days, marking the end of  the longest reign with that title since Hulk Hogan’s initial four-year reign in the 1980s  Support the showContact Touchgrass Wrestling Youtube @touchgrasswrestling Instagram @touchgrasswrestling Email us at [email protected] Go outside and "Touch Some Grass"
