Is 14 that they all competed in King of Trios in chikara?

xrodmuc316 10-09-2023 02:27 PM

19. All hated Vince McMahon
20. All wrestled at Total Nonstop Deletion (Benoit's ghost was there for sure WONDERFUL!)

xrodmuc316 10-09-2023 02:30 PM

6 is slammed Yokozuna?

Mr. Nerfect 10-09-2023 04:52 PM

I was thinking of the video game link but Rey threw me off. I vaguely remember something like that, but didn’t see anything on his Wiki but thought I must have been mistaken.

Mr. Nerfect 10-09-2023 05:38 PM

Oh, 19 is something to do with testimony in the steroid trial, right?

Bigelow's 0-1 is a better record than 0-2 though :yes:

I was thinking it was challenging for the AWA Title, but I couldn’t find anything for Bruno Sammartino. Then I remembered Nailz and the steroid trail and Bruno and Vader seemed like fits for that.

Mr. Nerfect 10-10-2023 05:20 AM

I think you should just let us keep guessing.

Mr. Nerfect 10-10-2023 05:21 AM

This is more fun than watching the current TV shows.

21. Okay, so Motor City Madman was in a tag team called The Motor City Madmen. The British Bulldog was in a tag team called The British Bulldogs. I can only assume there was a tag team called the Crusher Yurkovs or the Bam Bam Bigelows. :shifty:

One of the folks from 19 could also be used for 22.

Nope, but 24 and 23 are related.

Mr. Nerfect 10-11-2023 05:18 AM

Is 22 something to do with breaking their neck during a match?

Mr. Nerfect 10-11-2023 05:19 AM

I really want to get 23 lol. For some reason, my mind keeps going to Santa Claus.

Mr. Nerfect 10-11-2023 05:25 AM

21. Did someone more famous have the name? Ted Nugent, Winston Churchill and Bam Bam from The Flintstones? Lol.

Added some hints where I could, but here are ones for those I cannot.
19. Bruno could have been in 22, and that incident is part of this connection
20. Hulk Hogan isn't in this connection, but he had a major accomplishment in the specific place.
21. An alternate version of this one is Big Cat, Diesel, Sting
25. Dax Hardwood isn't on this list, but he wishes he was.

Bad News Gertner 10-11-2023 06:42 AM

Is 19 injured by Stan Hansen. I was gonna answer that earlier but I can't fit Nailz/Kevin Kelly into it

Mr. Nerfect 10-11-2023 08:05 AM

15. This is a really tenuous link, and I’m not sure how this connects to Britt Baker hating them, but does it have something to do with them speaking multiple languages?

25: All were on a Survivor Series team with Bret Hart.

Has that been guessed? Seems too simple.

I feel like I know the “place” for 20 but I can’t figure out the exact accomplishment. Or… lack of accomplishment? :shifty:
