Hardcore Holly winning the 16 man Hardcore match for the title.

This match had a botched finish, Hardcore Holly was to pin Crash Holly and the time was due to run out making Crash still the Houdini of hardcore. With the timing of the wrestlers being off Hardcore Holly pinned Crash and ref Tim White stopped the count before the time ran out by 2 seconds. Hardcore was made champion and forcing a change on Raw the next night and Crash was able to retatin the title back.

The Warrior Award is going to be awarded to Titus O'Neal, who is a One-time WWE Tag Team Champion and one-time and inaugural 24/7 Champion

The final member of the ceremony is going to be Ozzy Osbourne who (wait a minute while I check my notes) 'has a long history with WWE, going all the way back to WrestleMania 2. He and Captain Lou Albano managed The British Bulldogs, during their match against Brutus Beefcake and Greg Valentine. In 2007, he performed live at a SmackDown taping in Baltimore, and in November 2009, he was a guest host for RAW.'

Don't forget John (Tugboat) Ottman's most famous character in wrestling history - The Shockmaster

"After departing from the WWF in 1993, Ottman found himself at the center of one of the most infamous moments in wrestling history. He had signed with World Championship Wrestling (WCW) and was to make his debut in a match alongside the fan favorite team of Sting, Dustin Rhodes and Davey Boy Smith in the upcoming eight-man War Games match against the heel team composed of Sid Vicious, Big Van Vader, Kane and Kole at Fall Brawl.

On "A Flair for the Gold", an interview segment hosted by Ric Flair, in front of a live audience at Clash of the Champions XXIV, Sting and Smith were confronted by Sid and Harlem Heat, demanding to know the identity of their new partner. Sting exclaimed, "All I have to say is, our partner is going to shock the world, because he is none other than the Shockmaster!" The camera then zoomed in on a section of the set where two torches set off a small pyrotechnics explosion in front of a sheetrock wall. With a new costume consisting of a Star Wars Stormtrooper helmet painted purple and covered in silver glitter, a pair of jeans and a large, black, puffy vest, Ottman attempted to make a dramatic entrance by crashing through the wall.

While making his entrance, Ottman tripped over a piece of lumber that was framing the set, causing him to fall forward through the wall with his helmet falling off and sliding across the floor. His face accidentally exposed, he scrambled to put the helmet back on as Vicious, restraining laughter, exclaimed "Oh, God!" Ottman donned the helmet and got back on his feet, shifting his weight and dusting his hands off in an attempt to shrug off the gaffe while Harlem Heat's Kole asked, "Who is this motherf*cker?" and Smith exclaimed "He fell flat on his arse! He fell flat on his f*cking arse!". Both of these comments were audible to the live audience and television viewers, but were bleeped in future showings of the footage by WWE. Ottman then began gesturing toward his would-be opponents several seconds before a menacing gravelly off-screen voice (provided by Ole Anderson, who could be heard laughing before speaking) started to threaten Sid and Vader. Sid Vicious, remaining in character, reacted in rage to Shockmaster, and the broadcast focused on Vicious for the duration of the voiceover. The announcers said nothing as the segment ended."

Andre the Giant meeting Damien

On a episode of WWF Superstars that started off the feud between Jake and Andre saw Damien getting close to Andre, Bobby Heenan went on to say that he thought Andre was having a Heart Attack and showed concern legitimately, all Andre done was pulling off the segment by showing he had fear of the snake when in fact he was never scared of snakes.
