This Day in Wrestling History
A match is set up in Los Angeles to unify the World titles between Joe Stecher and Ed "Strangler" Lewis. Lewis no-shows and is replaced by John Pesek. The match is split at one fall apiece going into the final fall, when Pesek gets Stecher in a wrist lock. Stecher is obviously beaten but the referee steps in and diqualifies Pesek for using an illegal "choke," thus saving Stecher's title.

Mick Foley Comments On Triple H
In an interview with Main Event Radio, Mick Foley talks about a chapter in his book where he mentions that he heard that HHH is not his biggest fan. MEM states it seems contradictory to when he was benefiting so greatly from Mick put him over and asks if Foley thinks that HHH was being disingenuous when he was doing interviews in the past and said that Foley was one of his favorite opponents?:
"No I don’t think that is a conflict. And I don’t know for a fact that he wasn’t one of my biggest fans. That would mean more that he wasn’t one of my biggest fans in 2008. I heard he got a big promotion. He may be the future of WWE from a business standpoint. And from a business standpoint, you really can’t say that guy put me over in 2000 so we gotta keep him around. It’s really his job to say who’s valuable in the company at this present time. I had heard he hadn’t been a booster of mine but if you had asked him who his favorite all-time opponents were and my name was on it, I don’t think that is a contradiction."
Gee Mick, his new-found animosity might have something to do with the following statement you posted on your myspace blog in May:
About a week ago, I watched the Raw from New Jersey on DVR - the one where Triple H made the crack about Lilian Garcia showing up just to "horse around". And since that time, just keep asking myself "why"? Why does someone like Triple H, one of the most talented, well paid guys in the business, do something so shallow and mean? Why would a multi-millionaire, with millions of fans around the world, feel the need (several times over the years) to say something that is only meant to hurt? I don't get it. I don't get why it's done, I don't get why it's condoned, I don't get what possible satisfaction anyone involved gets from demeaning someone like Lilian Garcia. I just don't get it."
Maybe he doesn't get you either...
