I'm most proud of the fact I share a birthday with Vince McMahon (not the same year though!) as in terms of what happened on my actual birthday back in '79 there were a number of shows around the country including a WCCW event in Texas which a couple of years ago I managed to find a pristine copy of the programme from which I had framed. One of my favourite Wrestling items I own.

 

In a similar vein I just tried to find the Memphis show from my birthdate on Youtube. Typically, I can find the show before and after, but not the one i want.

So... June 21, 1990 (way to make me feel like a child, guys :p ). Wrestler birthdays: Brandi Rhodes, albeit born in 1983. No wrestlers born on the exact same day as me.

 

WWF in Phoenix

 

1 Big Boss Man defeated Ted DiBiase

2 Bushwhackers (Bushwhacker Butch and Bushwhacker Luke) defeated Greg Valentine and Honky Tonk Man by disqualification

3 Nikolai Volkoff defeated Boris Zhukov

4 The Warlord defeated Tito Santana

5 Brady Boone defeated Bob Bradley

6 Brooklyn Brawler defeated Jim Brunzell

7 2 on 1 Handicap Match-Ultimate Warrior defeated Haku and Bobby Heenan

 

Well, Warrior was on it, so yay for relevance with the upcoming HOF induction. And close ties to the Bushwhackers- although we Aussie only adopt Kiwis if they're really successful, like Russell Crowe, or every rugby league player they produce.

 

WWF in London (Ontario, Canada)

 

1 Paul Roma defeated Buddy Rose

2 The Barbarian defeated Jimmy Snuka

3 Hercules defeated Akeem

4 Tugboat defeated Dino Bravo

5 WWF Tag Team Titles Match- Demolition (Smash and Crush) © defeated Bret Hart and Jim Neidhart

6 Dusty Rhodes defeated Randy Savage

 

Links- Jim Neidhart is on the card and I saw Nattie wrestle live last year. Man, this is depressing.

 

WCW in Memphis

 

1 New Samoans (Fatu and Samoan Savage) defeated Danny Davis and The Star Blazer

2 Brian Pillman defeated Dutch Mantell

3 Bam Bam Bigelow defeated Johnny Rich

4 Mark Callous defeated Norman the Lunatic

5 El Gigante defeated El Diablo (1:30 minutes)

6 Rock 'n' Roll Express (Ricky Morton and Robert Gibson) defeated Fabulous Freebirds (Michael Hayes and Jimmy Garvin)

7 Barry Windham defeated Tracy Smothers

8 Junkyard Dog defeated Ric Flair

 

Hey, this is vaguely cool! Mark Callous is otherwise known as the Undertaker. Nice to know the Deadman was kicking arse when I was a newborn. And there's a Zeb appearance, and Naitch, who I have seen live. Woooo!

5 Mike Awesome defeated Jerry Lawler by disqualification

 

Mike Awesome was wrestling as early as 1990, and against Lawler? Never realised Awesome had been around that long before his FMW/ECW runs.

On August 13th 1985...

 

Stuff

 

And exactly two years later, on my birthday, WWF held a show with a main event of Honky Tonk Man vs. Jake Roberts for the Intercontinental Title, while Jim Crockett Promotions had two non-finishes at the top of the card. Barry Windham & Jimmy Garvin vs the Midnight Express, two out of three falls for the Tag Team Titles was a DQ, and Ric Flair vs. Ronnie Garvin for the World Title ended in a double count out. Not especially exciting!

 

Edit: oh, and we also share our birthday with Spike Dudley.

Think this was the best of 10 cards

 

1 Rocky King defeated George South

2 Steve Regal defeated Rocky Kernodle

3 Todd Champion defeated Thunderfoot

4 Ivan Koloff defeated Italian Stallion

5 Wahoo McDaniel and Dusty Rhodes defeated Tully Blanchard and Jimmy Garvin

6 Four Horsemen (Arn Anderson and Ric Flair) defeated Rock 'n' Roll Express (Ricky Morton and Robert Gibson)

Average age of the wrestlers: 33.4 years

 

mainly for the two main events, although I have a nice Calgary card and WCCW card too.
