This Day in Wrestling History (February 4)

Tazz & Sabu vs Public Enemy (Tag Team Tables... by ROH4ever

20 years ago today in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Sabu and the Tazmaniac defeated The Public Enemy (Johnny Grunge & Flyboy Rocco Rock) in a double tables match to win the ECW World Tag Team Championship.

14 years ago today, Women of Wrestling (WOW) presented their only PPV, Unleashed, from the Great Western Forum in Inglewood, California. About 9,500 were in attendance with just 6,000 homes watching on PPV. The extremely low buyrate caused the collapse of the promotion, and WOW stopped producing original episodes just a month later. The show itself was plagued by technical difficulties, production glitches, and low-quality bouts (half the bouts on the show finished in under five minutes; the first four matches on the show lasted less than three minutes each) and is considered one of the worst shows in professional wrestling history.

14 years and a day ago today, NBC presented the debut broadcast of the XFL. One year to the day the XFL was announced in a press conference, the WWF-inspired football league led off with the Las Vegas Outlaws shutting out the New York/New Jersey Hitmen 19-0, and the Orlando Rage hanging on for a 33-29 win over the Chicago Enforcers. The league's first games were watched by 14 million viewers, but it would lose half its audience by the next week. By season's end, one of their games would be the least-watched primetime program in television history.

12 years ago today at an NWA-TNA weekly PPV taping, Abyss & AJ Styles defeated Red Shirt Security (Joe E. Legend and Kevin Northcutt) to win the NWA World Tag Team Championship.

10 years ago today at a RAW taping in Saitama, Japan, William Regal and Tajiri defeated La Resistance (Robert Conway and Sylvain Grenier) to win the World Tag Team Championship.
