15 years ago (yesterday). They used to have some real cool moments and beatdowns.

Something I found interesting about the festival, it was Vince and Jericho's idea but Vince wasn't at Raw the day of it and HHH wanted to cut the festival from the show and just have KO attack Jericho. Jericho had to argue with HHH all day and threaten to call Vince to get it put back in the show. So for as much as people say Vince is out of touch, he was on board with one of the best segments in years...and **** HHH

Surprised to see HHH being the guy who wanted a bland heel turn over something like that. If there's one guy in WWE who knows about great friendship/alliance breakups, it's HHH.

The fake DX reunion and that whole feud with HBK
Kicking Orton out of Evolution after he "found" the world title
Being on receiving end of Batista turning on Evolution after winning the rumble
Destroying Ric Flair during their breakup
Being part of Rollins turning on the Shield
Turning on Rollins and helping Owens win Universal title

For being apart of all that, you'd hope those moments would translate into behind the scenes creativity as well.

You left out my favorite HHH turn of them all

One of the most badass moments of the '90s and honestly one of the handful of times where Paul Wight/Big Show was treated like a monster in WWE.

Re: On this day in professional wrestling history...

I remember that because that PPV was one of maybe 4-5 PPVs I got to order when I was in middle school or high school. For some I remember knowing Big Show was going to be there, even though I don't remember reading rumor websites back then.

Re: On this day in professional wrestling history...

Didn't that match end earlier than it should have because Show threw Austin too hard into the cage?

02/15/2004 - Eddie Guerrero defeated Brock Lesnar to become the WWE Champion.

16 years ago today: (feels weird seeing Brock Lesnar on screen with a WWF logo. I believe this was one of final Raws before the name change?)
