TPWW Did You Know?
 

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.

I remember reading about that not long ago. Crazy.

TIL

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.

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.

AnyBody Thrilla got his name from a juggalo rapper.

LOL what?

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

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".

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

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)

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

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

CM Punk was in the doghouse for outpopping DX.

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

Hickenbottom.

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.

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

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.

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

Heath Slater is a 3 time champion

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

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

Brigstocke is married to his own sister in 2012.

Brigstocke's Welsh?

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

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

Could you tell because of his pokeballs?

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

Did You Know?

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

He also beat doink the clown and had ddp teach him the diamond cutter
