  1. Just been asked during an AQA shift what the first WrestleMania to be shown in the UK was. I'm curious myself, so anybody know?

     

    Come to think of it, when did the PPVs regularly get shown over here, and when did they begin showing live?

  2. The Atlanta-Journal Constitution, while updating their coverage of the Benoit family tragedy, reported that Nancy Benoit filed for divorce and an order of protection in May 2003. In the divorce petition, Nancy Benoit alleged that Chris Benoit, "lost his temper and threatened to strike the petitioner and cause extensive damage to the home and personal belongings of the parties, including furniture and furnishings. Petitioner is in reasonable fear for petitioner's own safety and that of the minor child." A judge issued a restraining order against Benoit and barred him from entering the family home. Nancy Benoit asked the court to dismiss the petition in August of that year. The couple later reconciled, celebrating together in the ring following Benoit's WWE World championship win at Wrestlemania XX. Autopsies in the deaths of The Benoits and their seven year old son Daniel are scheduled for today in Decatur, Georgia.

    Anyone heard this before?
  3. Question regarding title runs, spoilers ahead:

    Since winning the WHC a little over a month ago, Rey Mysterio has lost the following non-title matches:vs. Mark Henryvs. The Great Khalivs. Kurt Anglevs. Rob Van Damvs. FinlayCan anyone name another WWE or World "Champion" that has lost so many non-title matches in such a small space of time?

  4. Looking for some theme music...I'll put the instances I know they came out to the theme too, as I'm sure some of them have had different music at different times.Jake Roberts (theme at King of the Ring 1996)Psycho Sid (theme at Survivor Series 1996)Viscera (when he came back for a brief feud with Undertaker in late 2004)Heidenreich (HEI-DEN, HEI-DEN-REICH, HEI-DEN-REICH...)Boogeyman (current theme)Mark Henry (current theme)

  5. The Final Four PPV in February 1997 had a number 1 contender match with last 4 men in the Rumble (Austin, Bret Hart, Undertaker, Vader) due to the controversy surrounding Austin getting eliminated.However, at the Rumble...- Austin gets back in the ring after being eliminated and eliminates both Vader and Undertaker- Bret Hart eliminates Fake Diesel- Austin eliminates BretWas it ever explained why Diesel wasn't part of the match-up?

  6. NYR SPOILERS

    SPOILER
    It's been close to 2 years since we've had a repeat WWE Champion (September 2003 - Brock Lesnar, February 2004 - Eddie Guerrero, July 2004 - JBL, April 2005 - John Cena, January 2006 - Edge).Before this chain, what's the longest chain of first-time WWE Champions crowned in a row?
    That wasn't Lesnar's first reign. It was his third.And I'd guess that you'd have to go way back to match a four wrestler chain. I can't think of one off hand.
    I know it wasn't his first reign, hence the bolding (not very clear though, granted :p )

  8. A longish one. My grammar is crap so bear with me.The Ministry Angle---------------------I remember Mabel was kidnapped at the Rumble 99 and dragged off, then I think on Raw the next night he was dragged into this room where Farrooqq and Bradshaw were guarding the doors. Was there any storyline reason why they should be at the doors guarding the MOD? Thanks brahs.

    I think it was just becuse the Acolytes were also members of the MOD, so it was just for effect.
  9. Whoops - I'm an idiot. Firstly, I meant to rephrase it in that was the WM17 match their FIRST one on one match, then seconndly why I forgot about the WM15 match and others I don't know.JR and King threw me off cause I was watching RR2001 yesterday and they were playing it off as if they're never met one-on-one.
