On this date in 2003, at Judgment Day, a battle royal was held to crown a new champion and in the nine years since, it's slowly regained the prominence it held during its heyday of Rick Rude, Mr. Perfect, Ultimate Warrior and Shawn Michaels.

The Hardcore Championship was defended 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. As a result, a very unlikely person became champion at one point. In addition to that, this date in history was FULL of interesting things occurring, come see what else went down!

Ten noteworthy wrestling events occurred on this date over the past 44 years, and ten memorable wrestlers were born over the past 94 years on this date as well.

After a five-year arrangement, the National Wrestling Alliance pulled their belts from TNA. So what did the company do? Create their own title, of course.

After five years, Ring of Honor made the jump to pay-per-view. The result was Respect Is Earned, -- which was filmed on this date six years ago.

It was on May 11th throughout the past 62 years of pro wrestling historical events that several pay-per-views were held throughout various promotions, legends were born and icons were lost to us.

It was on this date in pro wrestling history that several titles changed hands at the WCW pay-per-view event entitled, Slamboree 99. Do you recall how many legendary stars were on the card?
