Match of the Day - The Hart brothers take on those guys with the thongs on their tights

Bret and Owen Hart vs. Well Dunn - WWF Wrestling Challenge (1993)


This week I was looking to see if there were any matches that took place on my birthday. This match between the Hart Brothers and Well Dunn (Timothy Well & Steven Dunn) was the closest match I could find that was at least aired around by birthday (dated November 14th). This match was probably one of the first times that Bret and Owen Hart teamed together on WWF television in a build up for the Hart Family vs. Jerry Lawler match at Survivor Series. You know, the Hart/Lawler match at Survivor Series that never happened. You know, that match that turned into the Hart Family vs. Shawn Michaels and a bunch of jobbers dressed as knights.

Anyways, he's a nice little piece of history from the first day of my life.

Match of the Debut - BATTLE KAT!

Battle Kat vs. Bob Bradley - WWF Wrestling Challenge (1990)


I guess you could say that Battle Kat's TV debut against jobber, Bob Bradley was less than purrfect, as Mr. Kat (played by Dean peters) never made if much further than this match and one more on Wrestling Challenge defeating Paul Diamond.

Still, I always wonder what could have been of the almighty Battle Kat.

Fun(ish) fact: Dean Peters previously played Brady Boone, a character that was originally the cousin of Billy Jack Haynes in kayfabe.

Match of the Debut - The most perfect debut!

"Mr. Perfect" Curt Hennig vs. Mike Richards - WWF Wrestling Challenge (1988)


Curt Hennig might have had a small run back in the early 80's with WWF, but after jumping ship to AWA and making a name for himself as a top star and title holder, it was only a matter of time before he returned to the federation with a new attitude and the title of "Mr. Perfect".

Of course, Hennig would back up his perfect role not only in the ring but outside of it by doing sporty things perfectly with sporty famous people.
