1. The First WWF vs. WCW Match Took Place In Calgary
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A0h3OyCCXes Years before the InVasion, there was a rare match featuring a WWF-contracted wrestler and a WCW-contracted wrestler. It took place in December 1995 at a Stu Hart Tribute Show for Stampede Wrestling in Calgary, commemorating the 50th anniversary of Stus first match. The WWF-contracted wrestler was Rad Radford (aka the late Louie Spicoli), and the WCW-contracted wrestler was Chris Benoit. Benoit defeated Radford with a superplex, and its unknown if any special permission had been given by the companies considering Radford wasnt that big of a star in WWF. Other talent that appeared on the show included Bret and Owen Hart, the British Bulldog, Razor Ramon, Brian Pillman, and the Funks. Shawn Michaels was scheduled to wrestle Bret Hart on the show (months before their Ironman Match at Wrestlemania), but he was still selling his post-concussion symptoms from Owen Hart.
