    This is a pretty good idea if it's kept updated.

    I'm sure there'll be some debate on whether that 2002 entry is all that important given how loved Cena is around here!!!

    lol, yeah somewhere along the line somebody is wrong about that Strangler Lewis match. Or maybe it started late on the 20th and finished early in the morning on the 21st!

    The Observer site mentions today that that match's anniversary is today, so that's probably right. Can't say I've seen it!
