I was just thinking of all these random things that have happened in wrestling where you look back today and it's kind of interesting. I'm talking kayfabe stuff, not behind the scenes. Feel free to add your own
*Steve Austin once teamed with Ric Flair on a WCW Battlebowl PPV.
* Steve Austin once lost the US Title to Jim Duggan in about 30 seconds
*Teddy Long managed both the Undertaker, Sid Vicious and Waylon Mercy in WCW. They were all part of the Skyscrapers.
*Paul Heyman also managed The Undertaker at one point
* The Spoiler walked the top rope way before the Undertaker did it.
* Sting was once a member of the Four Horsemen
* Before 2 Cold Scorpio mezmorized ECW fans, he tagged with Buff Bagwell in WCW
* Arn Anderson was put in 3 different stables in WCW. Of course, the Four Horsemen, but also, The Dangerous Alliance and the Studd Stable. He was also a member of the Alliance to End Hulkamania if you count that.
*The Von Erichs and The Freebirds had a brutal feud in World Class at one point, but did you know that Michael Hayes actually teamed with Kerry Von Erich during the end of WCCW's tenture.
*Bobby Eaton, member of the Midnight Express, one of the greatest teams ever, was repackaged as Earl Robert Eaton later in his career. He was a member of the Blue Bloods along with Steve Regal, Dave Taylor and Jeeves.
*The Fabulous Freebirds in WCW consisted of DDP and Sir Oliver Humperdink at one point. They were basically the groups managers. Jimmy Garvin and Hayes were the focal wrestlers.
*Andre the Giant was once in a group in the WWF that included Ax of Demolition and Blackjack Mulligan. They were called the Machines. Hulk Hogan was also called "Hulk Machine" at one point.
*Before Kevin Sullivan did the Dugeon of Doom gimmick in WCW, he did a similar gimmick back in Florida in which he led his Army of Darkness. Members included Women, Jake Roberts and Superstar Billy Graham at one point.
*Mark Canterberry and Dennis Knight used 3 seperate tag names during thier careers. In WCW, they had a Texas gimmick and were known as the Texicans. I WWF, they became widley known as the Godwins and later as Southern Justice.
*Sting was in a heel stable with Rick Steiner and Eddie Gilbert early on in his career.
*Two members of the Dungeon of Doom were also members of the nWo, The Giant and Konnan
*Although Ric Flair and Sting were bitter enemies throughout thier careers, they would actually team up a few times. Once in the late 80's against the J-Tex Corp, once in the mid 90's to take on Arn and Pillman and again in 96 to take on the nWo. Flair ended turning on Sting in the first two occasions.
*Paul Roma had a number of partners throughout his career, which included Paul Orndorf, Jim Powers, Arn Anderson, and Hercules.
*Before he was a Rooster in the WWF, Terry Taylor enjoyed great sucess in the UWF/NWA/WCCW
*After leaving the WWF for WCW, The Big Bossman would become known as The Boss. He had almost the exact same gimmick and outfit as he doned in the WWF. yea, this didn't last to long and he was repackaged.
*Ric Flair and Arn Anderson have been in six War Games matches a piece.
k, I'm tired. I'll add more later.
