  1. - 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?

  2. 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.

    So Bischoff actually was there during those final months? As for Russo, did he sustain that concussion as a result of Goldberg's spear?
  3. 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?

  4. 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.

    Just as there is with...almost any move at all? :confused:
    Well, with a move that's a Running Neck Snap, I think there's a somewhat higher possibility of it.
  5. I think you mean Dustin Diamond. Nick Diamond is the presenter of Celebrity Deathmatch.

    My mistake. :blush:

    howcome Cena doesn't do the throwback anymore, and can anyone remember the last time he did it??

    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.
  6. - 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...

    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!"
    Well, let's not forget about Nick Diamond ("Screech" from Saved By The Bell) at Wrestlemania 16. He had a terrible seat! :D Anyway, thanks for answering those, Kenny McBride. :thumbsup:
  7. - 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? I was always under the impression that they did until recently re-watching a 1999 episode of Raw, featuring Ben Stiller...

  8. Why is Raw split into two halves; 'Raw' and 'The RawZone'?

    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.
    This is n odd question...but what are you talking about? What is "The RawZone" and what is the diffrence between it and RAW?
    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:11.jpgWhereas those of the second use the RawZone logo:4.jpgPre-2001, Raw was split into 'Raw Is War' and 'The WarZone.'
  9. 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...

  10. Tweeners are almost always created deliberately, as a tweener is someone who fights both heels and babyfaces, and doesn't side with either.

    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. :thumbsup:
  11. 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?

  12. This is a strange question, but how is wrestlers' pay organized? Why aren't they payed equally?

    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?
    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?
