1992
SMW television included an obnoxious and overbearing segment on Tim Horner, where we learned that in addition to being amazing at everything he ever did athletically, he was also a brilliant singer. In a funny bit of irony, he then started singing “Shameless” by Garth Brooks. Also on the show, Jim Cornette attempted once again to debut his new tag team, but a group of rabid women find them and hijack their limousine.

WCW Pro aired a show taped on in Columbus, GA. In the main event, Ricky Steamboat faced Arn Anderson in a short but awesome ***1/4 match. Rick Rude attempted a run-in and Steamboat chopped him directly in the throat, which neutralized him. Even Paul E. Dangerously took a few bumps for Steamboat.

On WWF Superstars, Ric Flair and Mr. Perfect delivered a press conference with a room full of people who believed Miss Elizabeth when she denied that she ever had a relationship with Ric Flair. In a funny payoff, the room was completely empty.
1999
WWF Wrestlemania XV aired on pay-per-view live from Philadelphia, PA, in front of a sellout 18,274 fans. In the main event, The Rock defended the WWF World Title against Steve Austin in a ***3/4 match. Also on the show, Butterbean knocked out Brawl For All winner Bart Gunn in quick fashion, effectively ending his WWF run. The Kane-Pete Rose running gag continued, with the baseball player attempting a sneak attack on Kane while wearing a chicken suit. Shane McMahon faced X-Pac and HHH turned on his DX partner, kicking off the heel run that solidified him as a top star. The Undertaker and Big Boss Man also squared off in the worst Hell In A Cell match ever. The show did what at the time was a record setting 800,000 buys, and you can watch it on the WWE Network.
