Paul Wight Debuts at St. Valentine’s Day Massacre

26 years ago today, WWF St. Valentine’s Day Massacre: In Your House took place at The Pyramid in Memphis, Tennessee, featuring the shocking debut of Paul Wight (formerly The Giant in WCW), who interfered in the night’s main event.

The match saw Stone Cold Steve Austin battle Mr. McMahon inside a steel cage, with Austin’s WrestleMania XV WWF Title opportunity at stake. Wight emerged from underneath the ring, attacking Austin and tossing him into the cage wall. However, the impact caused the gimmicked cage panel to break open, allowing Austin to drop to the floor and win the match—securing his shot at the WWF Championship.

Elsewhere on the card:

• Val Venis defeated Ken Shamrock to win the WWF Intercontinental Championship (Hello Ladies!).

• Bob Holly won the WWF Hardcore Championship by defeating Al Snow.

• The Rock and Mankind fought to a no-contest in a Last Man Standing Match for the WWF Championship, leaving the title picture unresolved heading into WrestleMania XV.

Wight’s debut marked the beginning of his long career in WWE, where he would later be known as The Big Show and capture multiple world championships.

❄️ Winter Madness 🏆

Welcome to Winter Madness, where we’re on a mission to crown the most popular WWE star across Morning Dirt Sheet! Every day, two legends step into the spotlight, but only one can advance.

WOOO! Yesterday we completed the first round of The Golden Era with the “limousine riding, jet flying, kiss-stealing, wheelin' n' dealin' son of a gun” (2) Ric Flair taking down (15) Bob Backlund (honestly I’m surprised Backlund got any votes against Flair).

That wraps up Round 1 of this era. We’ll come back in a few weeks to start Round 2 where the match ups are set.

Moving into the next round… The Attitude Era was WWE at its most rebellious—Monday Night Wars, over-the-top characters, and some of the most iconic moments in wrestling history. From The Rock’s electrifying promos to Stone Cold Steve Austin’s beer-soaked chaos, this was the era that changed everything.

Now, it’s time to decide who reigns supreme from this legendary period! Round 1 of the Attitude Era bracket starts today—vote for your favorites as we work our way toward crowning the greatest WWE superstar of all time!

🏆 Dave Meltzer: Mercedes Moné Should Lose AEW TBS Title at Grand Slam Australia

Dave Meltzer believes Mercedes Moné should drop the AEW TBS Championship at Grand Slam: Australia, arguing that AEW has a chance to make a new star. "If Mercedes understands the big picture of the business, she should go to Tony [Khan] and go, 'I should lose,' because she has no opponent," Meltzer said. "She just beats people, which is fine, you know, she's the biggest star there, but at some point you have to lose and there is no better time or place... if you would've said like two weeks ago and suggested this to me, I would've said 'Ridiculous, Harley Cameron's not ready,' but she's got momentum, she's drawing ... it's time to make a superstar or a star and she's got it in her hands."
