TPWW Did You Know?

[Autobahn]

Use this thread to highlight things you had no idea about in wrestling, or think that no one else would know about.

Example: I had no idea until today that Mrs. Cleavage/Marianna had died in 2004.

[#1-norm-fan]

I remember reading about that not long ago. Crazy.

[Kane Knight]

TIL

[#1-norm-fan]

I had no idea until recently that in 2000, ECW PPVs were actually getting better buyrates on average than WCW PPVs. In some cases doubling the buyrate of WCW's PPV for the same month.

[Shisen Kopf]

Didn't know this until I did know it: Scott Hall took a dump in Sunny's lunch on a tour of Germany in the spring of 1996.

[CSL]

couple of "well known" random ones off the top of my head:

Shane McMahon (or "Shane Stevens") was a referee in the early 90's

Earl Hebner was refereeing Starrcade's and War Games etc for NWA while Dave Hebner was refereeing WrestleMania's and Survivor Series

Husky Harris/Bray Wyatt has the coolest real wrestling name ever (Windham Rotunda)

Vader had his eye knocked out/dislodged in a match and simply popped it back in before continuing

Vince once took the Road Warrior's "Doomsday Device" in a strip club

[Big Vic]

AnyBody Thrilla got his name from a juggalo rapper.

[Keith]

Vince once took the Road Warrior's "Doomsday Device" in a strip club

LOL what?

[whiteyford]

Sure he took more than just the Doomsday Device that night.

[CSL]

yeahhh, apparently Vince used to enjoy drinking with the boys and wanted to actually be a wrestler before getting into his dad's business, he'd apparently make claims to be "just as tough as the boys" or something and then they'd egg him on to take certain moves. He took Bret and Anvil's "Hart Attack" also apparently. Been spoken about by quite a few guys like Bret, Piper, Animal etc.

[Keith]

Haha in a strip club, though? Couldn't they just go in the ring before the next event and practice?

You can call Vinnie Mac "Marc Mero", because he's a "Wildman".

[whiteyford]

Can't remember the shoot it was from, remember the guy seemed quite chuffed Vince wasn't a dick about the next day though.

[Rollermacka]

Marc Mero originated the term "jabroni"

NWO did crotch chops before DX.

Hulk Hogan got the biggest pop of the night at Bound for Glory 2011 (that might just be sad)

[#1-norm-fan]

Hulk Hogan got the biggest pop of the night at Bound for Glory 2011 (that might just be sad)

Why is that a surprise? Doesn't that happen regularly?

[Damndirty]

Lance Cade's death was pretty unexpected, so was Test's.

[RiX1024]

CM Punk was in the doghouse for outpopping DX.

[bigslimjj]

didn't know until I did that Sid took a sid in the ring,and for the longest I didnt know HBK's real last name was higginbottom.lol

[XL]

Hickenbottom.

[Swiss Ultimate]

I think a lot of people probably understand how things work now, but when I was a kid at an ECW house show I saw Sabu defeat Taz in a FTW match back when nobody ever beat Taz and I thought it was fucking amazing.

Stepped in a puddle of Taz and Sabu's collective blood that night.

[Big Vic]

I just learned that The Miz and Cena were tag Champs together.

[irishmaster]

I didnt know how to pronounce HHH real surname. I had seen it written a few times and tried to say it but I think it was CM Punk who said it sometime last summer and i was wayyy off.

And Brock Lesnar is married to Sable. No idea at all.

[Savio]

Of the current tag title no Team has held them more than 3 times.

[Gertner]

Heath Slater is a 3 time champion

[Mr. Nerfect]

Heath Slater has scored falls against Bret Hart, Edge and Chris Jericho.

[Brigstocke]

Edge was married to Val Venis's Sister in 2001.

[Corporate CockSnogger]

Brigstocke is married to his own sister in 2012.

[whiteyford]

Brigstocke's Welsh?

[Brigstocke]

If Iginfest reveals anymore of Brigstocke's secrets. Brigstocke will stop providing clients for iginfests sister when she's on shift at the Docklands.

[whiteyford]

That's just Iggy in a dress, no need to keep up the charade.

[Brigstocke]

Could you tell because of his pokeballs?

[whiteyford]

At first it was the stubble, but all Scouse girls sport a moustache so I couldn't really be sure...

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Did You Know?

SlickyTrickyDamon's first PPV attended live was Survivor Series 2008?

[Curd]

Edge was married to Val Venis's Sister in 2001.

I remember where WWE made a brief angle on this which ended with Venis pinning Edge with a Fisherman's suplex on Smackdown and shaking hands afterward. They didn't take the angle to PPV or anything.

[Mr. Nerfect]

I'm sure I've mentioned this somewhere before, but in a kayfabe world, Garett Bischoff and Eugene Dinsmore are cousins.

[Rollermacka]

Did You Know?

SlickyTrickyDamon's first PPV attended live was Survivor Series 2008?

Of course we all knew that. That question is on the SATs now

[Shisen Kopf]

Did you know that 1-2-3 Kid was originally going to be given a gimmick like king king bundy where he would pin them at a 5 count. WWF decided that 1-2-3-4-5 Kid was too awesome to unleash on the crowd so we got a watered down version. In WCW Waltman would have been know as 15 if he had kept his original gimmick.

[Autobahn]

When Mae Young did this, as a rib Michael Hayes (I think) got Mae to put sardines in her underwear:

[Providence Peep]

Kurt Angle's neck is now comprised mainly of sawdust and old newspapers.

[Providence Peep]

The Ultimate Warrior is responsible for Triple H's unfulfilled need to bury anyone and everyone.

[KaosDarksol]

Heath Slater has scored falls against Bret Hart, Edge and Chris Jericho.

[cnoslim]

Saturn dated Chyna before she entered the WWE.

[Brigstocke]

Bam Bam Bigelow chose the name Bam Bam because he thought he posessed the strength of Barney Rubbles son......

[Shisen Kopf]

Undertaker and Kane are really brothers now after Howard Finkel adopted them both last year.

[Brigstocke]

Gangrel, Rodney Mack, Chris Candido, Luna, Tammy Sytch and Jazz often played the 'Car keys in a bowl' game.

[whiteyford]

Not sure if anyone wins that game really.

[itsmeJD]

New Jack nearly beat the fuck out of a friend and I at an indy show a few years back, only to change course and drink beer with us for 2-3 hours.

[Brigstocke]

Two of the Insane Clown Posse are touring with a circus in the UK, their act includes stunts like smashing light tubes over eachothers backs and taking bumps from a tightrope.

[Damndirty]

New Jack nearly beat the fuck out of a friend and I at an indy show a few years back, only to change course and drink beer with us for 2-3 hours.

To think, your post could have been about how you came out of it all counting the staples you had to remove from your forehead.

[Big Vic]

Kane was born in spain?........does this make him the first Spanish born WWE champion?.......Is Kane spanish?

[Curtis Anderson]

Why are you guys posting things that aren't actually true?
