The wrestling world is abuzz with Aiden English’s tease that Lana did something in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. While we’re not sure what that could be (although maybe The Rock knows something), we do know that Milwaukee has a rich wrestling history!
Check out seven things that actually did happen in Milwaukee!
Stone Cold Steve Austin Beat Dude Love
The odds were stacked against Stone Cold when he defended his title against Dude Love at Over The Edge 1998. Not only was it a No DQ match, but Vince McMahon of all people was the guest referee! Despite all of that stacked against his favor, Austin kept his belt in one of his most iconic matches.
While the full match isn’t on YouTube, it was faithfully recreated in WWE 2K16, and a clip can be seen on WWE’s website:
The Mega Powers Implode
Milwaukee was the host of The Main Event II, which saw the Mega Powers defeat the Twin Towers. Despite the victory, the match left a permanent strain on the relationship between former partners Hulk Hogan and Randy Savage. This led to the Macho Man leaving Hogan mid-match, and the two would battle it out in one of the most legendary WrestleMania main events ever.

Sting Upset Lex Luger To Win WCW Gold
Lex Luger was a powerful champion mentored by the legendary Harley Race, but that didn’t stop Sting from overcoming the odds at WCW’s SuperBrawl II. The Stinger further solidifed himself as WCW’s top babyface that night while 5,000 fans cheered him on.
Chris Jericho Retained Against Stone Cold At No Way Out 2002
Chris Jericho became the first Undisputed WWF Champion, and he pulled out all of the chops in a great 20+ minute match against Steve Austin at No Way Out 2002. The event also saw Kurt Angle beat Triple H, and The Rock overcome The Undertaker an in entertaining match.
