Ravishing Rick Rude pinned Don Muraco 36 years ago Apr 30, 1988 in San Francisco, CA. Rude used the ropes to get the victory. Rude was well on his way to becoming a top heel in WWF at this time while Muraco was in the final year of his long & successful WWF run

Big John Studd beat Andre The Giant by DQ 35 years ago Apr 30, 1989 in Augusta, GA. I wish we'd gotten to see one of these matches between Andre & Studd in 1989 on tv with Andre as heel & Studd as babyface. This rekindled feud was exciting to me but Studd left soon after

Ken Patera defeated the Honky Tonk Man 37 years ago Apr 29, 1987 in Dayton, OH. Patera was a sub for Jake Roberts that night but it's interesting to note how the plans for Patera may have exceeded the expectations of Honky Tonk Man so close to the beginning of Honky Tonk's IC run
