50 years ago today in Tokyo, Japan, NWA International Heavyweight Champion Giant Baba and WWWF Champion Bruno Sammartino fought to a one-hour time limit draw in a best of three falls match with each man winning one fall each.

18 years ago today, Kurt Angle makes his WWF television debut during a segment on Sunday Night Heat with Tiger Ali Singh.

Offered $500 to blow his nose on the American flag, he blows his nose on the Indian flag instead then suplexes Singh twice. It would be his lone TV appearance until his vignettes premiered late in the year.

7 years ago today, Mexican promotion AAA announces a talent agreement with TNA, opening the doors for TNA stars to work major AAA events.

The agreement ended in 2014 when Jeff Jarrett left the company to start his own, Global Force Wrestling.

6 years ago today, TMZ reports that Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi would be a guest host on the March 14 RAW.

Arguably the most recognizable face of hit MTV reality series Jersey Shore, Polizzi would end up competing at Wrestlemania XXVII in a mixed tag team match. At the event, Polizzi, Trish Stratus, and John Morrison defeated Lay-Cool and Dolph Ziggler.

4 years ago today, Eric Pankowski, the Senior Vice President of Creative and Development, had been fired from WWE. He took over the position held by Brian Gewertz in October 2012.

1 year ago today in Pinelllas County, Florida, opening testimony was given in the lawsuit between Terry Bollea, aka Hulk Hogan, and Gawker Media, the parent company of Gawker.com.

The lawsuit stems from a 2012 post where Gawker editor AJ Daulerio published a two-minute snippet of a 30-minute video showing Hogan having sex with Heather Clem, at the time the wife of Todd Clem, aka shock jock Bubba the Love Sponge.

A full recap of the day’s proceedings, in which Hulk Hogan was called as the first witness, is broken down by cSs’ own Keith Harris here, and by David Bixenspan (who covered the trial extensively) here.

1 year ago today, WWE announced that Wrestlemania 33 would take place on April 2, 2017 in the Citrus Bowl in Orlando.

This will be the company’s second visit to the stadium; their first came at Wrestlemania XXIV in 2008, the first major WWE show in an outdoor venue since Wrestlemania IX.

On the same day, CBS Sports reported that Ray Traylor, aka The Big Boss Man, would be posthumously inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame.

It’s a happy 20th birthday to Reed Tyler, best known to wrestling fans as Tyler Bate.

The Dudley, England-born Bate made his professional debut for Preston City Wrestling at just 17 years of age as “The Iron Master” Tyler Bate in a four-way match. He’s best known first as one-half of Moustache Mountain with Trent Seven in PROGRESS Wrestling, then more recently as one-third of British Strong Style with the reunited Moustache Mountain and Pete Dunne.

Seven and Dunne captured the PROGRESS Tag Team Championship at Chapter 36: We’re Gonna Need A Bigger Room…Again from London Riots in September 2016, but were stripped of the belts when Dunne tried to pass his half of the titles to Bate in December. Just two weeks after the vacancy, British Strong Style won them back, this time with Seven and Bate winning the titles at Chapter 41: Unboxing Live.

American audiences know him as being the inaugural WWE United Kingdom Champion, winning a two-day tournament in January. Bate knocked off Tucket, Jordan Devlin, Wolfgang, and Pete Dunne en route to the title. Bate joins Rene Dupree as the only people to hold a WWE championship before their 20th birthday. Bate debuted for NXT in February defeating Oney Lorcan, and made his first successful title defense later in the month defeating his tag team partner, Trent Seven.
