So, was it a legitimate match? Or basically an excuse to get Lesnar vs. Austin set up?

Well it was a match, then ended in a no contest because Lesnar attacked Austin. It was just an excuse to build the Lesnar/Austin/Goldberg feud up for Wrestlemania. Wasn't an actual full on match though.

What was Batista's reason for giving up the Heavyweight Championship in the latest Smackdown? Which Curt Angle went on to win a Battle Royal.

 

[Misanthrope]

Batista's been working through a back injury for a few months (hence the lack of title defences), but badly damaged his tricep working a house show match against Mark Henry over the weekend (one before last). It was shown that it wasn't an injury he could work through, so the WWE decided it best to get the title off him and give him some time to recover.

Can someone please tell me what the last match was that the Rock won?

 

[ParraDude_Jay]

Last match he won was when he beat Jeff Hardy in April 2003.

I have been away for a while, now coming back i was wondering if Raw has a general manager yet? And also whats happened to Bob Orton?
Thanks

 

[Misanthrope]

a). No, Raw is still without a general manager. Vince McMahon is still stand in
b). Not sure. Has he been around since Undertaker beat him senseless at Armageddon?

 

[PARANoIR]

Bob Ortons been at home with Hepatitis, something to do with his blood being spilt at Armageddon.

The following was posted on WWE.com:

World Wrestling Entertainment has come to terms on the release of Bob Orton. We wish him the best in all future endeavors.

There ya go.

At the time of the WWE's takeover of WCW. Who was the owner of WCW at the time?

 

[Misanthrope]

Time Warner still owned it (after buying out Turner) and had the intention of selling it to a Fusient backed Eric Bischoff consortium.

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.

Where the hell is the Boogeyman?

Innjured.

Will be out for another 6 months from what I hear.

 

[RABK]

Happened many times.

I remember the 1991 Royal Rumble, Ric Flair spent time outside and won.

Hulk Hogan won the 1991 Royal Rumble.

Makes sence. No big loss I guess. Couldn't wrestle and had no one to feud with.

Hulk Hogan won the 1991 Royal Rumble.

I think he might of meant the 1992 Rumble
