Funny enough one wrestler was on both 1995 and 2004 shows and that was ...... *drum roll* ...... The Undertaker. Interestingly enough, the 1995 results on cagematch is missing the king kong bundy match. Can't remember for the life of me who he wrestled. But he grabbed the mic before it started and said "I have a few drops of irish blood in me.... but with this reception i'll get a blood transfusion" :P
WWF @ Dublin, Ireland - The Point - June 20, 1995 WWF Women's Champion Alundra Blayze defeated Bertha Faye Men on a Mission defeated the New Headshrinkers Shawn Michaels defeated IRS Adam Bomb defeated King Kong Bundy The Smoking Gunns defeated Jacob & Eli Blu Jean Pierre Lafitte defeated Duke Drose The Undertaker defeated Kama Bret Hart defeated Hakushi

And what did WCW do in return? At a sold out MEN arena of 16k the main event was Johnny the Bull Stamboli & Don Vito vs The Harris Brothers for the WCW tag titles.

Random nugget of info: TNT (and a few other satellite channels) appeared on Cablelink in Dublin circa May-August in 1996 as they were testing out frequencies or something. So I was able to watch Nitro every Friday evening to see the beginnings of the NWO which was great.

It used to come on after the end of the programmes on the cartoon network too, was class, distinctly remember watching Nash lawn dart Rey into the side of the truck.
