On this day in history in ....

1990 - WCW Clash of the Champions XIII, nicknamed "Thanksgiving Thunder" was held in Jacksonville, Florida at the Jacksonville Coliseum.  Here are the results of the show, which was aired live on TBS:
- In a dark match, Barry Horowitz defeated Mike Thor.
- The Freebirds (Michael Hayes & Jimmy Garvin) defeated The Southern Boys (Tracey Smothers & Steve Armstrong) when Hayes pinned Smothers with a DDT after he was tripped by Rocky King (who was working as the Freebirds "roadie").
- A Sting interview was interrupted by the voice of the Black Scorpion coming over the speakers in the arena.
- Brian Pillman defeated Buddy Landell with a flying bodypress.
- Big Cat (Curtis Hughes) defeated Brad Armstrong via submission with a bearhug.
- Tom Zenk defeated Brian Lee with a top rope dropkick.
- Michael Wallstreet (Rotundo) defeated The Starblazer (Tim Horner under a mask) with a Samoan Drop, called the "Stock Market Crash".

- Sid Vicious defeated The Nightstalker (Bryan Clarke).
- NWA United States Tag Team Champions Rick & Scott Steiner defeated Magnum Force in under two minutes when Scott pinned Magnum Force #1. The Nasty Boys then came out to attack the Steiners.
- A ridiculously bad segment where Paul E. Dangerously attempted to interview Sting and the Black Scorpion came out and did magic tricks.  Seriously.

2000 - Chuck Palumbo & Sean Stasiak defeats Elix Skipper (substituting for an injured General Rection) & Alex Wright for the WCW World Tag Team Title in Augusta, Georgia, beginning their second reign as champions.

2002 - Jeff Jarrett defeats Ron Killings for the NWA World Heavyweight Title in Nashville, Tennessee during an NWA:TNA Pay-per-view.  This was the first NWA World Title win for Jarrett in TNA.
