Whilst Eric Bischoff was Raw's GM on-screen, what was his actual backstage role?

Does anyone know any websites where I can see when wrestling events were released or took place? I am looking for WWE, ROH & TNA Events.

prowrestlinghistory.com is a great resource for dates, attendance figures and match details.

Whats the song that is used in Jack Jekkels Eddie Guerrero tribute video???Contains the line "Take me higher". Its been doing my head in all day.

Creed - Higher.

Whats the name of Somoa Joe's music in ROH ?"The Champ is here" bum bum bum bum "The Champ is here"

I haven't heard the theme music used by Joe in ROH, but from that I'd guess that it's DJ Green Lantern And Jadakiss - The Champ Is Here.

2.) Not strictly wrestling-related, but does anyone know the exact reasons why Ultimate Warrior's comic book ended?

Although it was initally successful, the sales figures fell. Wikipedia.com details the reasons as to why the publication failed;

As a comic book, fans argued that WARRIOR was a failure; it had no actual storyline, virtually no characters other than Warrior, no action, and considerably more text than the average comic (in the first issue, at least one entire page is made up of a text box, with a small picture of Warrior in the corner). Seeing as how successful comics have relied on interesting characters, storylines, and action, this seemed to many to be a formula for failure.In addition, the storyline (some fans argued there wasn't one) was difficult to follow, as some issues consisted of nothing but pages of WARRIOR walking around and going through physical transformations, with the plot driven by his internal monologue. The dialogue and internal monologues in WARRIOR are written heavily in jargon, Old English, run on sentences, sentence fragments, and extremely long sentences (some contain upwards of fifty words). Some English majors, writers, journalists, and others who read the comics took note of the use of "..." in place of most periods, indicating that some of the comics are in fact made up of one gigantic sentence with several pauses spread throughout. Several of the words which play key plot points are in fact made up by Warrior for the purpose of the comic, and every time one of these made up words is used, the action ceases and pages are dedicated to explaining the meanings of these words. The overall plot and internal monologues, when deciphered, are two fold: First, the comics act as indoctrination material for Warrior's personal belief system. Secondly, on the fictional level, the comics concern the real Warrior's (ie, Jim Hellwig) attempts to transcend his physical being and become a god; the story appears to take place within the mind of Warrior as he lays in some kind of comatose state. As the books progress, Warrior expounds on the inner trappings of his personal philosophy and religious beliefs, as he meets his father (who is depicted as a being that is either meant to be God or Jesus Christ), and in one segment seemingly unrelated to the main story, saves a suicidal young woman by appearing to her as an apparition and sucking toxins from her bloodstream after she has overdosed. The final outcome of the story, and the ultimate revelation about Warrior's message and philosophy, remained unrevealed, since the comic failed.In the initial months of publication, all of these things served to help the comic's sales: Fans considered them to be a novelty, or kitsch. Several people who had their comics autographed by Warrior at one of many book signings Warrior held in the midwest only wanted his autograph to add to the camp appeal of what they held to be an extremely ridiculous comic.The comic's most enduring issue, and the one which has received the most ridicule and is now worth the most money, is one of the final issues, which breaks away from the main storyline into a Christmas tale. The plot of the comic is hard to decipher, as it contains no dialogue, monologue, or text boxes. Inexplicably, Warrior attacks the North Pole, usurps Santa Claus's authority over the elves, and in the final frame, which gained the comic its enduring popularity, a sweaty Warrior forces Santa into bondage gear and poses beside him. The apparent sexual undertones, lack of an actual plot, and non-sequiter nature (nothing from the previous issue served to segue into the Santa attack issue) gained the comic cult popularity, especially on the internet. Though nothing sexually explicit is depicted in the comic, some fans have come to describe it as the "santa rape" issue; more commonly, it is referred to as "the one where Warrior puts Santa in bondage."Excerpt:Destiny is: [1.] one's own inevitable, inescapable fate.

He'll be 36 this month.

I downloaded "Pirates." Sadly there was no sound. It did look good though.

Open it with VLC player and I assure you that it'll play pefectly.

Cheers, KRS.

There's a small feature on WWE.com called Backstage With Ben.

 

 

Who in the hell is he?

Jennifer Freeman (Claire from 'My Wife And Kids')

 

 

Porn Star Jesse Jane (Jules from 'Pirates' - a film I'd highly recommend)

 

If you're asking just how many one-on-one matches The Rock and Austin have had, there's been quite a few. In Your House: Degeneration X, WM 15 and WM 19 immediately spring to mind, in addition to the one that you mentioned...

Why have Cade and Murdoch gone solo?

Tila Tequila

Wouldn't that be Tila Nguyen?

2) What's the name of Mysterio's new theme and who sings it?

Booyaka 619 by Mad One and Rey Mysterio.By the way, thanks to those who answered my question(s).

Thanks for that.

As far as I know, Kennedy's theme is WWE-produced and was actually used for a PPV prior to his debut.--- During matches, a lot of wrestlers often try for a second pinfall immediately after their opponent kicks out. Has anyone ever won a match this way?--- How many matches have been won with a sleeper hold?--- How did the Randy Savage and Jake Roberts feud begin?

Mila Kunis

Damn straight!

Aside from John Cena and Bret Hart, can anyone name some 'Five Moves Of Doom' sequences commonly used by babyfaces to finish off a match?

Thanks, Mighty LC.

I take it that Lawler doesn't announce for Memphis Wrestling too often due to his WWE commitments? Speaking of which, is there any relationship between the two organisations?

When were the episodes of Memphis Wrestling shown on TWC taped? Lawler looks a lot younger...

Armageddon is on tonight at 1 AM on Sky Box Office.

According to http://www.prowrestlinghistory.com, these are the details of the first WWF UK event:

October, 10, 1989 in London, EnglandLondon Arena drawing ???Shown live on Sky OneKoko B. Ware pinned Boris Zhukov.Dino Bravo pinned Bret Hart.Jim Duggan pinned Honkytonk Man.The Rockers beat Jacques & Raymond Rougeau via pinfall.The Brooklyn Brawler pinned Paul Roma.WWF World Champ Hulk Hogan pinned Randy Savage.

I think the first proper tour was in 1991 if not then...

I know it's a little bit late, but thanks, guys.

Thanks to those who answered my question about WWF/WCW PPVs. I've been looking into Amy Weber's WWE departure and came across some conflicting information. Can anyone shed some light on 'harassment' that caused her to leave?

- How did JBL's faction with Orlando Jordon and The Bashams break up?- Is it true that Triple H was scheduled for an interview with James Whale, but after he no-showed, Whale threw his 'Making The Game' book in the bin and swore to never feature a wrestler again?- Was there an incident in which a wrestling promotor had given a newspaper reporter the results of a show, only for them to be printed early? If so, who am I thinking of and what was the event?- Did WCW and the WWF ever hold a PPV on the same night?- Amy Weber and Carmella Decesare were in WWE for a while, post-Diva Search. Were they fired or did they part ways with the company for any particular reason?
