Does anyone know if the following card was shown on TV, or was apart of any VHS releases?Event: Legend's Battle RoyalDate: November 16, 1987Location: East Rutherford, New JerseyArena: The MeadowlandsAttendence: 4,000 Ron Bass pinned Jerry AllenDanny Spivey pinned Ivan Putski....Don Muraco pinned Hercules....The Dream Team (Dino Bravo and Greg Valentine) defeated Junkyard Dog and Brutus Beefcake when Bravo pinned Junkyard Dog....Billy Jack Haynes pinned Demolition Smash....Demolition Axe pinned Ken Patera....Jake Roberts defeated Killer Khan by Disqualification....Ted DiBiase pinned Ricky Steamboat....Randy Savage pinned Harley Race....Legends' Battle Royal: Lou Thesz won the "legends battle royal." Also in the match were: Nick Bockwinkle, Bobo Brazil, Gino Brito, Eduardo Carpentier, Al Costello, The Crusher, Dominic DeNucci, Tony Garea, Rene Goulet, Gene Kinsiki, Killer Kowalski, Pedro Morales, Pat O'Conner, Baron Scicluna, Arnold Skaaland, Ray Stevens, Jay Strongbow, and Art Thomas....Battle Royal: Jake Roberts won a "battle royal."

It wasn't recorded so isn't on any VHS releases or TV. However I'm sure I've seen a few people who have a handheld copy of the Legends Battle Royal, but not of the rest of the card.

Was The Undertaker originally set to make his return at the Royal Rumble 2000 in his Deadman gimmick, but then sustained another injury?

Yep, they had an article in the WWF Magazine about it later in 2000

Thanks for the responses. One last question:How many come back Rumbles has Goldust been in?

I think only 2002 and last night (he was in 2003 but that wasn't a comeback)

Has anybody won the rumble and NOT won the title ar Wrestlemania?Has a supertar ever drawn the same number 2 years in a row or the same number twice ever?Has anybody appeared at the rumble event, had a match in the mid card but never in the rumble match ever?

Though not 2 years in a row, Ted Dibiase entered at number 2 during the 1990 and 1992 Royal Rumble if I remember right. Also Shawn Micheals number 1 1995 and 2003.

Actually DiBiase was number 1 in 1990, and number 2 in 1992.Others drawing the same number, one just happened. HHH was number 1 in 1996 and last night as well

Was Summerslam 92 shown on a delay in America or was it shown live? If it was shown live then it would have been broadcast at about 2pm on the east coast and about 12 on the west

The show was taped Saturday August 29th, and it was televised in the UK and the US on Monday the 31st I believe. (A few hours earlier in the UK)

I just brought the WWF VHS release 'UK Fan Favourites 1993' off ebay- does anyone know what the listing is and if it's any good?

Released: August 1993, Certificate: PG, Catalogue Number: WF118Hosted by Gene Okerlund and Bobby Heenan Fatu vs. Bret Hart for the WWF World Title, WWF Raw 1st March 1993 Mr. Perfect vs. Terry Taylor, WWF Raw 18th January 1993 Undertaker vs. Bam Bam Bigelow, WWF Wrestling Challenge 14th March 1993 Tito Santana vs. Rick Martel, WWF Prime Time 27th April 1992 Jim Duggan vs. Shawn Michaels, WWF Raw 3rd April 1993 The Berzerker vs. Virgil, WWF Prime Time 28th December 1992 Ric Flair vs. Randy Savage for the WWF World Title, WWF Prime Time 14th September 1992 Lex Luger vs. Tito Santana, WWF Mania 9th March 1993 Tatanka vs. Papa Shango, WWF Prime Time 30th November 1992 Undertaker vs. The Mountie, WWF 30th June 1992 Repo Man vs. Randy Savage, WWF Raw 25th June 1993 Bret Hart vs. Shawn Michaels for the WWF Intercontinental Title, WWF 2nd June 1992 credit: www.wrestle-media.net

You have a bunch of dates wrong there, did you just guess them? Savage vs. Flair specifically isn't the title change from Prime Time in September 92, it was actually from a TV taping in June 92

Also, why were The Rockers stripped of the WWF Tag Team Titles in 1990, and their victory over The Hart Foundation erased from the record books? I remember the storyline reason was some nonsense about a turnbuckle coming loose, thus invalidating the match, but what was the REAL reason?

From what I remember, Neidhart was supposed to be leaving the WWF, so they wanted to get the titles from the Harts. But, not too long after the match, Neidhart and the WWF came to agreement for him to stay so they decided to keep the belts on the Harts and forget the other match happened at all.

Does anyone know whether Jesse the body Ventura's commentary is contained in the so called 'edited' WrestleMania box sets?

All of Ventura's commentary is there

Am i right in assuming that The Undertaker has never won a Rumble match....

Rumble 99- appears in a non-wrestling capacity

What did he do at that particular Royal Rumble event? I can't recall it.

I think that he was part of the posse that beat up Steve Austin when he was out of the ring during the rumble match, In the toilets.

Nope that was just the Corporate Team. The Undrtaker had promised a sacrafice at the Royal Rumble that year, and Viscera (or Mabel as he still was then) was the target.

- With Jimmy Hart managing The Hart Foundation, where the audience ever led to believe that he was related to the tag team?

Not that I recall, Mean Gene & Monsoon would always acknowledge Bret being Stu Hart's son and never mentioned anything that could relate Bret & Jimmy.

From memory, 'cause Stone Cold Said so was pretty good, although I can't recall too many specifics about it. I've never seen the Bret Hart tape but this is what's on ukedge87's site about it:Released: June 1997, Certificate: E, Catalogue Number: WF173Bret Hart vs. Steve Austin, WWF Survivor Series 1996 Bret Hart vs. Sycho Sid for the WWF World Title, WWF In Your House 12: It's Time Bret Hart vs. Vader, WWF Raw 6th January 1997 Bret Hart vs. Owen Hart, WWF Raw 25th November 1997

From bell to bell, this website says 28:06:(www.angelfire.com/wrestling/cawthon777/01.htm)Steve Austin pinned WWF World Champion the Rock to win the title in a No DQ match at 28:06 after forming an alliance with Vince McMahon and repeatedly hitting the champion with a chair to his ribs, chest, legs, and back

When did Austin beat up that Santa Claus in the middle of the ring?

On the December 22, 1997 Raw

I saw someone post this in a column, is it true?

WWE has done booking-on-the-fly in the past regarding their World Title (example: Mankind was supposed to win the title at Mind Games 1996, but the ending was changed... you can clearly see then-announcer Vince McMahon directing both HBK and Foley to the new finish after a spot on the outside).

Also:Does anyone know what episode of Raw it was when DX had an in-ring BBQ and Chyna had that massive sausage.When did Christian dress up in a Chicken suit to loose weight, I know it was sometime in 2000?Is there a website where it list what happened on WWF TNT in the 1980s?

I don't recall the exact date, but I'm sure it was sometime between Royal Rumble 98 and the next PPV, No Way Out.The Christian chickensuit segments were on the August 7, 2000 episode of Sunday Night Heat.Try here for someones listings of TNT shows - http://www.coreystapes.com/other/tnt.html

1.) Does anyone recall if The Legion of Doom had any matches with Rhythm & Blues? I can't recall any, but thought I'd ask

The closest they came to wrestling each other was here:WWF @ Boston, MA - Boston Garden - November 11, 1990 (either 6,500 or 7,500)Earthquake won a bunkhouse battle royal; other participants included: Roddy Piper, the Legion of Doom, Tugboat, Jim Duggan, Saba Simba, Dusty Rhodes, WWF Tag Team Champions Bret Hart & Jim Neidhart, the Black Demon, Dino Bravo, Demolition Ax & Crush, Tito Santana, the Warlord, Boris Zhukov, Ted Dibiase, Virgil, Greg Valentine, & the Honkytonk Man

How long has Mike Chioda been with WWE?

I believe he referee's at Survivor Series 1993. I don't remember seeing him before 1993 that's for sure (at least not on PPV) so I would say 1993 was when he started so 12/13 years.

I'm sure I've seen tapes of him there earlier than that (1989 maybe?)

--- How many matches have been won with a sleeper hold?

Thousands. E.g Brutus Beefcake won so many matches with that hold. Or are we referring to more matches with main stars against each other?Also I recall Triple H winning a few matches with that hold in either 2003 or 2004 (was Hurricane one?)
