1983 – In what would turn out to be the last show for a decade, New Japan Pro Wrestling held a show at Budokan Hall in Tokyo, Japan. WWWF Champion Bob Backlund defeated Stan Hansen by disqualification. In the show’s main event, Antonio Inoki defeated Ken Patera to retain his NWF Championship.
1999– The British Bulldog challenged Triple H for the WWF Championship on Smackdown, from Richmond, VA in the match where The Rock presented his Sliding People’s Elbow.
2003 – In what sounds very familiar to a recent story line, Kane defeated Chris Jericho to win the WWE Intercontinental Championship. As Kane was already a tag team champion, and was due to have another championship match in three weeks at No Mercy, it set him up to become a triple champion. Alas, it did not happen. Kane lost the tag champions a week before the PPV and the IC at the ppv to Triple H.

WWE/TKO Cuts and Pay Reductions Could Reshape Wrestler Contract Negotiations
Fightful Select reports that a fresh round of cuts and pay reductions at TKO and WWE is expected to significantly change how talent and their agents approach contract talks. Sources in the talent and agent communities told FightfulSelect there is little confidence that major long-term deals will be honored for their full terms going forward.
The shifting landscape is likely to push wrestlers toward shorter deals, larger guaranteed sums, and more protective contract language as agents recalibrate negotiation strategies. That evolution could alter bargaining power across the industry and prompt broader changes in how promotions structure talent agreements.

WWE Reportedly Scrapped Short LA Knight Program With Gunther in Favor of a Cody Rhodes Push
According to Bodyslam.net, WWE originally planned a short post‑WrestleMania program pitting LA Knight against Gunther, but those plans were reportedly altered so Knight would pursue Cody Rhodes and the Undisputed WWE Championship. There is currently no public word on WWE’s creative direction for Knight following the change.
Knight’s most recent televised appearance was WrestleMania Night One, teaming with The Usos against The Vision and IShowSpeed, after he addressed concerns over a bursa flare‑up that he said would not sideline him. Meanwhile, Gunther — fresh off his program with Seth Rollins — has set his sights on the WWE Championship, attacking Cody Rhodes on the May 1 SmackDown and putting him in a sleeper hold before releasing him and signaling his title intentions.
