Hey guys, it's time for an event that is 15 years in the making:

Now, 15 years ago was a history making moment.

In August of 1992, Ron Simmons became the 1st African-American in the History of Professional Wrestling to win the WCW World Heavyweight Championship and on that same month, The British Bulldog Davey Boy Smith won the WWE I-C Heavyweight Title from Bret Hart.

and then, 2 months later, Bret Hart wins the top prize in the WWE, the WWE World Heavyweight Championship.

Here's what happend:

Bret Hart challenged Ric Flair for the WWE Heavyweight Championship at a non-televised live event in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. Encouraged by the Canadian crowd, Hart looked unstoppable. The “Excellence of Execution” was running on all cylinders and wrestled a flawless match. He eventually connected on a Superplex and followed it up with the Sharpshooter. Flair put up a valiant effort, but he had to succumb to the punishing submission move.

and it also became Bret's 1st reign in the WWE as the WWE World Heavyweight Champion.

and that's your look @ an event that is 15 years in the making.
