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 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.

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 |

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.

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". |

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) |

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. |

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.
