Wow. Hogan's WCW heel turn is NINE years ago today. I can't believe it's so long ago. I wasn't even of drinking age nine years ago.

9 Years Ago…… World Championship Wrestling held Bash At The Beach 96 in Daytona Beach, Florida. Rey Mysterio defeated Psychosis. John Tenta defeated Big Bubba in a Silver Dollar Match. Diamond Dallas Page defeated Jim Duggan in a Taped Fist Match. Nasty Boys defeated Public Enemy in a Dog Collar Match. Dean Malenko retained WCW Cruiserweight Title over Disco Inferno. Steve McMichael defeated Joe Gomez. Ric Flair won WCW United States Title from Konnan. Giant/Taskmaster defeated Arn Anderson/Chris Benoit. Sting/Lex Luger/Randy Savage vs. Hulk Hogan/Outsiders went to a no contest. *This was one of the most infamous nights in wrestling as Scott Hall, Kevin Nash and Hulk Hogan formed the New World Order.
