February 24th - The Day In Wrestling History

1971 - Birth Of Sean O'Haire

Sean O'Haire wrestled for WCW from the year 2000 until its demise just over a year later and was part of the "Invasion Angle" to the WWE in 2001 where he had two runs with some high profile matches and even higher profile wins.

In WCW, he was mainly a tag team specialist with Mark Jindrak and then Chuck Palumbo. At the WCW Sin 2001 PPV O'Haire and Palumbo (aka The Natural Born Thrillers) defeated the mega team of Diamond Dallas Page and Kevin Nash to lift the WCW Tag Team Titles. They would then successfully defended the belts against DDP and "Big Sexy", as well as KroniK and Mike Awesome & Lance Storm. 

O'Haire and Palumbo were WCW Tag Team Champions when the company folded and brought the titles to WWE, where they were defeated by Undertaker and Kane - The Brothers Of Destruction. O'Haire later wrestled for OVW before returning for a final run with WWE (being managed by Roddy Piper) that ended in the fall of 2003.

Sean O'Haire is not a name that stands out in wrestling history, and he could be describe as a forgotten star. However, for somebody that is not widely recognised amongst casual fans, he holds an impressive list of wins over huge stars including:

- Lex Luger - March 5th 2001 Nitro

- The Hardy Boyz - with Chuck Palumbo, at the August 2nd Smackdown

- Rikishi - Backlash 2003

- Hulk Hogan (as Mr America) - May 22nd 2003 Smackdown

- Chris Benoit - May 29th 2003 Smackdown

- Eddie Guerrero - June 19th 2003 Smackdown

- Bobby Roode - July 8th 2003 Velocity Taping

1977 - Birth Of Floyd Mayweather Jr.

Possibly the greatest pound for pound boxer ever, Floyd Mayweather Jr. had only one wrestling match, pitting himself against the giant Big Show as one of the main events at Wrestlemania 24 - which Mayweather won!

1997 - Monday Night Raw

ECW invaded Monday Night Raw in February 1997 as Stevie Richards defeated Little Guido, Tommy Dreamer defeated D-Von Dudley and most notably Taz defeated Mikey Whipreck after interference from Sabu that included him diving (/falling) of the giant "R" of the Raw stage setup. In WWE action on the show, Undertaker defeated Faarooq via disqualification.

2003 - Monday Night Raw

A huge night for Booker T, not only did he team with Scott Steiner to defeat the team of Randy Orton & Batista, but he also won the main event battle royale that included major superstars such as The Rock, Jeff Hardy, Chris Jericho, Rob Van Dam and Kane. By winning this battle royal, Booker T earned the right to face Triple H at Wrestlemania 19.
