PrintOn November 1, 1992, World Wrestling Federation (WWF) aired another episode of Wrestling Challenge, a syndicated weekly pro wrestling show that had been televised from 1986-96. So why is that date in the program's history worth noting?
It featured the first and only title change to ever take place within the confines of "Challenge."
In a match taped a few weeks earlier, the tag team of Money Inc., consisting of the "Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase and Irwin R. Schyster (I.R.S.), reclaimed their championship belts against the prodigious girth of The Natural Disasters (composed of John "Earthquake" Tenta and Fred "Typhoon" Fred Ottman).
It was an entertaining program that began at Wrestlemania 8 and continued through November into Survivor Series.
Part two of their televised title change (with bonus commentary between Mr. Perfect and Vince McMahon), after the jump.
This one is for senior Cagesiders only: What team were you rooting when this all went down?

Cavalcade/Wrestling Challenge
I’m in Canada so it was on “WWF Cavalcade”, same show just with a different name. And Dire Straits ‘Money for Nothing’ as the theme.
I was for Money Inc, and looking at it again it was a strange way to win it especially in those days. Heel challengers get beat up a bit before a match, overcome the odds and win the titles? Weird. Even with a distraction it was a pretty clean win for a heel team.
