King Pitcos Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 Does looking up the states count as cheating? I can't remember all 50 of them, but if I had a list, I'd have a good go at remembering a wrestler from each one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Pitcos Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 When did Cody Rhodes start using the disaster kick? Was it only after Legacy finished? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Carbomb Posted March 12, 2013 Paid Members Share Posted March 12, 2013 When did Cody Rhodes start using the disaster kick? Was it only after Legacy finished? Â Think it must have been just after John Morrison left - I don't think the road agents would've let Rhodes use it, let alone name it, while JM was still in the company.

Paid Members neil's bitch Posted March 12, 2013 Paid Members Share Posted March 12, 2013 Does anybody know of any decent sites based in the UK, that you can buy WWE shirts from? That also don't cost the earth? Â With WWE now selling stuff direct from the states, the prices have suddenly gone crazy, with it working out slightly cheaper to get it from the states, but still coming in around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Pitcos Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 He was definitely using it for a good eighteen months before John Morrison left, including in matches against Morrison. They did a spot in one match where they both tried to do their kicks at the same time. It was named the Beautiful Disaster when he was doing the Dashing gimmick, but he was using it before that. The first time I can remember him using it was in a match with Morrison actually, which I think was Cody's first match back on TV after Orton kicked him in the head at WrestleMania and put him out for a few weeks. I just can't remember if he ever did it before that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Strange - I stopped watching regularly a couple of months after he debuted the Dashing gimmick, but even then I don't remember seeing him using it in any matches. First time I saw him use it was against Show at WM, and the way Cole referred to it so familiarly made it sound like he'd been using it for a while. Seeing as mainstream promotions don't usually like to see guys using similar signatures for the most part, I figured it must have been post-Morrison. Â Ah, well. Sod my comment then.

I forgot it was actually the one with the guy who actually introduced himself from there pre-match.  Had completely forgotten Maine and Wyoming.  In some ways the Maine, New Mexico, Alaska, Utah, Idaho, and even Massachusetts (despite it being one WWF's biggest markets) type places where there aren't an abundance of wrestlers "hailing from" are/ or at least should be easier to remember.  Anyway, I'll put mine in spoiler tags (didn't think of that before) and let someone else have a go (preferably who hasn't already read mine). Don't think I've ever seen a wrestler billed from Delaware or Vermont. Edited March 12, 2013 by TheBigBoot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Carbomb Posted March 13, 2013 Paid Members Share Posted March 13, 2013 (edited) The ROH Briscoes are from Delaware. They're the only ones I can think of. Â Also, from Florida - you should've put Savage, Rock and Hogan! Texas - Funk, yes, but also Taker, HBK and Steve Austin. Â Apparently Ultimate Warrior, Mick Foley, Dick The Bruiser and Damaja are all from Indiana originally. Â Quick bit of research says Paul "The Butcher" Vachon was from Newport, Vermont. I always thought he was from Montreal or somewhere in Quebec. (Also, one of the first results to come up on Google is a John McMahon, who was apparently a competitive, collar-and-elbow pro wrestling champion in the 19th century, back when it was still legit. So there you go, nominative determinism at its finest. Vince will never escape wrestling until he changes his surname.) Â Seems Seth Rollins is from Buffalo, Iowa. Â Also, Kevin Sullivan's a great choice for Massachusetts, but Cena's from there also. Edited March 13, 2013 by Carbomb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pier Six Brawler Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Cena is from Massachusetts. Â I can't think of anyone from Nebraska, or Iowa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
