Heroes of Wrestling

Wrapping up 1999, we had an event that is forever known for the wrong reasons.

The Heroes of Wrestling pay-per-view that took place in St. Louis, Mississippi.

Is that right? St.

Louis, Mississippi? Wouldn't that be Missouri? Maybe there is a St.

And, you know, this was, uh, the a- as people have called it, from the mind of the college sports entrepreneur Bill Stone.

Huge wrestling fan, and his idea was to create quarterly pay-per-views featuring performers from the '80s and the '90s.

Heroes of Wrestling ringing out set.

[laughs] Oh, sure

Sting hasn't even started in TNA yet where he Sting wrestled like a fucking two years ago.

It was Neidhart and Bundy against Jake and Yoko.
