On this day in history:
December 4th, 2000 | Lita had a shot at the Light Heavyweight Title when she faced champ Dean Malenko one-on-one. She more than held her own in the match, trading hold for hold and hitting her high-flying maneuvers until Dean stopped her in her tracks with a powerbomb. He then locked Lita into the Texas Cloverleaf and she had no choice but to submit. Though she left without the title, Lita did walk away with some extra respect for the fight she showed in the effort.
What are your memories of this moment?
