The Wrestling Question Thread

[Misanthrope]

That is one view.

Another view is that at the time of the WWE takeover, it was owned one half by Vince McMahon (who had just won it off of Shane McMahon in a survivor series match, thanks to the dastardly actions of Kurt Angle) and one half by a distinguished consortium that had financed Shane McMahons original purchase of WCW from Time Warner. That consortium was later revealed to be owned by the Nature Boy Ric Flair.

:lol:

Classic

 

[IanG]

I think he might of meant the 1992 Rumble

Yeah it was the 1992 Rumble that Ric Flair won. Went in at #3

 

[CanadianSteve]

Whatever happened to a 7 foot tall wrestler called Curgin or Curgan? He was in the WWF in the late 90s?

 

[Misanthrope]

Since leaving the WWE/F he's basically bounced around doing various things. He wrestled in Japan and Mexico, and is now attached to Jacques Rogeau's fed

If Scott Hall wasnt a drunk, would he be the greatest wrestler of all time?

Yes, Pennywisealfie he would be, because he already is.

Thanks Pennywisealfie!

 

[Misanthrope]

I take it you've been drinking tonight?

 

[Shaun Hewitt]

Greatest Wrestler to never be champ and my personal favourite all-time wrestler both as Razor Ramon and Scott Hall.

Whatever happened to Doink and Dink from the early to mid 90's?

 

[Misanthrope]

Doink (Steve Keirn) is a trainer now, and makes occasional WWE appearances. I've heard he'll be at Vengeance (which I won't see until 10pm tonight). No idea where Dink is.

 

[Gene Krupa]

OK. This one is for the diehards who know their WWE theme music.

I want to know the theme that starts: 1 2 is this on?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

That would be "My Time"

Was the entrance music for Triple H and Chyna around 2000-01 (approximately), originally started out as an instrumental, and then lyrics were later added.

Following the creation of Triple H's "The Game" character after WrestleMania XV, WWF composer Jim Johnston created a new theme entitled "Higher Brain Pattern". "Higher Brain Pattern" was later recreated with lyrics (again sung by The DX Band) and renamed "My Time". "My Time" was distinguished by a recurring "bleeping" noise and contained numerous inside jokes and instances of kayfabe breaking, including the addressing of WWF backstage personnel and executives by name. The song was included on WWF The Music, Vol. 4, however is not the exact same one he used during his time using the music. The original theme can be heard on the PC version of the video game WWF Raw.

[The Teach]

I knew Earthquake died not long ago. Must be going crazy!(thought it was longer) Thanks Iafeta! We forgot to add RVD's career after nearly killing HHH a few years ago (LOL). There was also one of the original pitbulls I think.

 

[Shaun Hewitt]

Yokozuna passed away? when and how did that happen?

Another question i have is...

What PPVs are on every month? December is Royal Rumble, January is New Years Revolutions. What else?

 

[PARANoIR]

Yoko passed away in 1997.

Yeah, Pitbull Anthony Durante died some time ago.

I've seen a few matches of Art Barr's and I can honestly say he was incredible. He could have been something special. I would be prepared to go out and say he would have been HUGE. He could go down as the biggest wasted talent of all time imo.

PPVs...

Jan - NYR & Royal Rumble
Feb - No Way Out
March - Wrestlemania
April - Wrestlemania & Backlash
May - Judgement Day
June - ECW
July - GAB & Vengeance ?
August - Summerslam
September - Unforgiven
October - No Mercy
November - Cyber Sunday & Survivor Series
December - Armageddon

 

[Sanchez]

[Shaun Hewitt]

Didnt that huge guy from the WCW in the mid to late 90's die? Roadblock?

Which wrestler was given the nickname "The suplex machine"?
