the day when a young man stood up to a foreign invader to give a country hope.

Of course I'm talking about Lex Luger body slamming Yokozuna aboard the USS Intrepid.

25 years ago today.

Crush had that bodyslam.

It is amazing in the 1st 1min or so, how many people are not alive anymore. I would say Earl Hebner is the only one.

Great thread, peeps. Now all you pinko metric system lovers can gather in one place to celebrate something you really care about.

Carry on, Comrades!

God, I miss Vince as commentator.

WWE should have topped this by having Braun throw a Tank @ KO this year.

I don’t quite know what this means but agree this is indeed a terrible thread. Only acceptable OP would have been

Good morning. In less than an hour, aircraft from here will join others from around the world. And you will be launching the largest aerial battle in this history of mankind.

Mankind -- that word should have new meaning for all of us today.

We can't be consumed by our petty differences anymore.

We will be united in our common interests.

Perhaps its fate that today is the 4th of July, and you will once again be fighting for our freedom, not from tyranny, oppression, or persecution -- but from annihilation.

We're fighting for our right to live, to exist.

And should we win the day, the 4th of July will no longer be known as an American holiday, but as the day when the world declared in one voice:

"We will not go quietly into the night!

We will not vanish without a fight!

We're going to live on!

We're going to survive!"

Today, we celebrate our Independence Day!

Everyone remembers that.

No one talks about the great kickoff to the Lex Express Tour!
