- Has Harcore Holly ever been punished for his antics?- What was the reason given for Leslie Nielsen's appearance at SummerSlam 1994? In terms of the storyline, how did his backstages skits come about?- Throughout 1999/2000, The Outsiders were immensely over and received great reactions, but were they supposed to be heels?- In 2003, when Hogan was taken off TV through his Mr. America angle, were there any plans to bring him back or was he fired after that?
-
Cheers, guys!
-
So Bischoff actually was there during those final months? As for Russo, did he sustain that concussion as a result of Goldberg's spear?Then Russo and Bischoff replaced them in April. Russo kept booking until later that year where he went off sick with a concussion, and I don't think he ever returned. I forget who booked WCW's last few months.
-
- Who trained Vince and Shane McMahon? I've always thought they were decent in the ring, considering that they're non-workers (if that's the correct term).- Why wasn't Eric Bischoff in charge of WCW during its final year(s)? Who had taken his place?
-
- How many times have AJ Styles and Christopher Daniels wrestled each other?- How do small feds, such as IWW, go about booking US stars, such as those of TNA?
-
Just a few questions regarding TNA;- How was Gail Kim introduced as Jeff Jarret's manager and has she actually done anything of note?- Is Trinity still a part of company?- Is Christopher Daniels supposed to be a heel? I've only seen a couple of his matches, which were against AJ Styles, and the two seem to garner dueling crowd chants.- What's Sean Waltman doing in TNA?

Well, with a move that's a Running Neck Snap, I think there's a somewhat higher possibility of it.
Just as there is with...almost any move at all?You're right, freaky_jason. However, I think that with the positioning of the wrestlers during The Throwback, I think there is a slight possibility of injury to the neck if the move isn't executed properly.

Cheers for that, El.
Obsessed With Wrestling have it listed as a 'Running Neck Snap.' Basically, it was like Curt Hennig's step-over neckbreaker.Anybody want to remind me what "The Throwback" was?
-
My mistake.I think you mean Dustin Diamond. Nick Diamond is the presenter of Celebrity Deathmatch.
I think it's because of the way in which WWE are booking him right now. There's a lot of moves in his arsenal that he doesn't get a chance to exhibit unless working longer matches, such those against Angle and Jericho.As for The Throwback in particular, I think it could be due to the nature of the move. WWE have pretty much banned anything that could cause neck damage.howcome Cena doesn't do the throwback anymore, and can anyone remember the last time he did it??
-
Well, let's not forget about Nick Diamond ("Screech" from Saved By The Bell) at Wrestlemania 16. He had a terrible seat! Anyway, thanks for answering those, Kenny McBride.
I think it just depends. In most cases I suspect that the celeb calls ahead and says "I want to come to a TV taping" and the company says "that would be great! Can we interview you/show your face?" and the celeb says "sure!" and the company says "great! We'll give you and your kids the best seats in the house! And free popcorn!"- When we see celebrities in attendance at wrestling events, have they gone out of their and bought tickets as any other fan would have? I was always under the impression that they did until recently re-watching and 1999 episode of Raw, featuring Ben Stiller...

- Which wrestler encouraged the fans to chant 'you suck' over Kurt Angle's music? I know it was sometime before Royal Rumble 2002.- Generally, how much of a match is planned beforehand?- When we see celebrities in attendance at wrestling events, have they gone out of their and bought tickets as any other fan would have?

For the same reason that they always land in the 619 position when falling into the ropes during a Mysterio match.Heres a question.....why do wrestlers who have never even attempted the cross body before....try one on JBL when there is a high possibility it can be reversed into a fallaway?
-
I was too young to notice at the time, but with so many people playing Doink The Clown, did anyone ever detect differences in physique or ring work at all?
-
The second half of Raw is treated as a seperate show, known as The RawZone. Any on-screen graphics during the first hour use the Raw logo:Whereas those of the second use the RawZone logo:Pre-2001, Raw was split into 'Raw Is War' and 'The WarZone.'
This is n odd question...but what are you talking about? What is "The RawZone" and what is the diffrence between it and RAW?
Simply so WWE can boast two of the highest rated shows on cable rather than one.I do seem to recall a time when they actually ran a second set of titles for the then "War Zone", making it even more of a 'seperate' show.Why is Raw split into two halves; 'Raw' and 'The RawZone'?
-
According to Obsessed With Wrestling, he was born in March 1976. So, he's 29.Anyone know how old Ken Kennedy is?
-
- Why did Sable leave WWE in 2004?- How many people have played Doink The Clown?- Can somebody give me breif information on WWE's Travel Packages, please?
-
Why is Raw split into two halves; 'Raw' and 'The RawZone'?Speaking of which, why did Sky Sports only begin to air Raw live this year? I love the fact that we can watch it live, but I can't imagine how much more it'd cost them and it doesn't seem very logical whilst wrestlings popularity is relatively low...

Oh, I always thought a tweener was someone who's sort of inbetween heel and face roles; e.g. when Sting was with Luger...Anyway, cheers for that.Tweeners are almost always created deliberately, as a tweener is someone who fights both heels and babyfaces, and doesn't side with either.
-
Cheers for that ELsupremo. Adding to my original question about tweeners, are characters like Stone Cold considered to be of that role? Afterall, he was a heel that received babyface reactions...
-
On an episode of Raw in 1999, The Rock threw Stone Cold Steve Austin and the smoking skull belt into a river. Obviously, Austin would have swam out, but how was his title supposed to have been retrieved?What was the storyline involving DDP, Kim and David Flair about? How did it end?Are tweeners created intentionally?
-
Thanks for that...
-
Definitely not, but from wages that I've read about, the differences can be shocking at times...If wrestlers are paid according to how much they make for the company, can they still recieve pay rises, despite signing a set contract for x amount of years? For instance, someone like Batista is obviously doing much more for the company now than he was when he signed.Final question; what's the average pay likely to be for a WWE worker?
Because some are better than others, and some make more money for the company than others.Are you seriously suggesting Gobbledy Gooker should have been on the same sallary as Steve Austin?This is a strange question, but how is wrestlers' pay organized? Why aren't they payed equally?

Thanks for that, MarkAT. As for Hogan, what were his reasons for leaving?
