The greatest night in the history of our sport was anything but on December 28, 1997. After a year-long and change build to what could’ve been the greatest main event in professional wrestling history, egos got involved to make it one of the most remembered for a completely different reason. Opposite of what you’ll likely hear the people involved say about it when things like this occur – just because we’re still talking about it 20+ years later does not mean it did its job.
This night certainly marked the beginning of the end for World Championship Wrestling.
