Wrestling Trivia

[Captain Beyond]

What was the name of the tag team that included The Undertaker and Sid Vicious despite the fact they never once tagged each other?

[JDKenada]

I can almost guarantee this is wrong, but since you said "included" the Undertaker and Sid, it might mean The Skyscrapers.

That's my best-case-scenario guess.

[Captain Beyond]

I can almost guarantee this is wrong, but since you said "included" the Undertaker and Sid, it might mean The Skyscrapers.

That's my best-case-scenario guess.

You are correct sir. The Undertaker (wrestling as Mean Mark Caloway) replaced Sid after Sid punctured a lung in a match vs the Steiners.
Actually he was wrestling as Mean Mark Callous, Calaway is his real name.

Bonus question, who was their tag team partner?

[JDKenada]

Dan Spivey. That was the easier of the two questions.

[JDKenada]

How many IC Title reigns did "Macho Man" Randy Savage have?

[Pepsirox08]

the answer would be 1, and im glad to see this is here....do we still have to wait for conformation??

[Captain Beyond]

the answer would be 1, and im glad to see this is here....do we still have to wait for conformation??I think you should, just in case you're wrong.

[Pepsirox08]

I think you should, just in case you're wrong.

no problem, but i doubt im wrong, but i will wait (note to everyone here, get ready for Undertaker and Shawn Michaels questions from me!)

[The Mattador]

I can almost guarantee this is wrong, but since you said "included" the Undertaker and Sid, it might mean The Skyscrapers.

That's my best-case-scenario guess.

Weren't they also known as the Twin Towers? I remember when Mean Mark used to do the heart punch! That was awesome!

[Pepsirox08]

welp, i waited, no conformation, so on to the next question. When was the first Hell in a Cell and who was in it?

[Captain Beyond]

Weren't they also known as the Twin Towers? I remember when Mean Mark used to do the heart punch! That was awesome!

The Twin Towers were Akeem and the Big Bossman in WWF.

[Captain Beyond]

welp, i waited, no conformation, so on to the next question. When was the first Hell in a Cell and who was in it?
You shouldn't have announced you're questions were going to be about the Undertaker and Shawn Michaels.

[JDKenada]

The answer of one was correct by the way (sorry I wasn't around to confirm). Most people think he had more. Also, anyone see the pics of him lately (from the Bolt premier)? Dude looks like Waylon Jennings' brother.

BTW, answer is INYH: Badd Blood in October of `97. Taker and Michaels.

correct, u put the date and the wrestlers. dont worry im starting off easy... ur thread JDK.

[JDKenada]

An episode of "The Snake Pit" with Hulk Hogan as the guest never made it to air. Why not?

[Pepsirox08]

hmm gonna guess vulgar language...

[JDKenada]

No, there were no language worries with this. Here's a hint, though: It was supposed to kickstart a feud between the two.

[Pepsirox08]

someone die? usually how that happens...

[JDKenada]

If you watch the extras on the Jake The Snake DVD, Vince, Jake, and Hogan all talk about it.

Jake DDT's (I think) Hogan during the segment, but there's one small problem. Jake gets cheered. This is 80's Hogan, who's (as they put it) the Golden Goose of the company. Rather than go against everything the company is built around...the never aired the segment.

I'll go less obscure this time:

In the days of Chris Jericho as WCW Cruiserweight Champion, he mocked pretty much everyone (including the great Bore-us Malenko). In a #1 contender's Battle Royal, Dean Malenko won while under the mask of what luchadore?

[Pepsirox08]

Cyclops or ciclope, something to that nature, that was funny!!

[JDKenada]

Cyclops or ciclope, something to that nature, that was funny!!

Ciclope is correct. But don't forget, that El Dandy is one heck of a wrestler!

[Pepsirox08]

What's shawn michaels last name? it cracks me up everytime i see it!!

[JDKenada]

Hickenbottom.

[turdburglar47]

What is the best theme song in pro wrestling history?

Demolition.

Was there ever a Crush? No. There is no Crush. None shall speak of Crush.

[Pepsirox08]

correct JDK, thread is urs

[JDKenada]

How long was Edge's first singles title reign in WWF?

[Pepsirox08]

24 hours, against jeff jarrett

[JDKenada]

yup. it's yours again

[Pepsirox08]

ehh open thread, i dont feel like asking...

[unsung hero]

OK I'll throw in one...

Did Tony Shivone ever comentate for another Federation AFTER WCW?

[majinmagog]

OK I'll throw in one...

Did Tony Shivone ever comentate for another Federation AFTER WCW?

Wasn't he a heel commentator for TNA for like a day?

[unsung hero]

Wasn't he a heel commentator for TNA for like a day?
Not the answer I was looking for, and I doubt it.

[The Mattador]

Schiavone was in TNA for a time...I'm not sure if he ever did play-by-play again...but he did have a classic heel turn one night when he was wearing a KISS shirt.

[Pepsirox08]

X Wrestling and its Schiavone

[unsung hero]

X Wrestling and its Schiavone

Knew I misspelled it.

The Answer I was looking for was the short lived WWA- World Wrestling All-Stars. Went to one of their pay-per-views here in Vegas at the Aladdin (which is now Planet Hollywood).

[Pepsirox08]

so the question goes to??

[The Mattador]

What classic '80's wrestler had the theme song, 'Jive Soul Bro'?

[Pepsirox08]

Slick or the Slickster.

[unsung hero]

What classic '80's wrestler had the theme song, 'Jive Soul Bro'?

"From Deepest Darkest Africa....Akeem!" AKA One-Man-Gang.

[JDKenada]

One day before retirement, and this thread died.

WHY?!?!?!?!?!?!??!?!

[Pepsirox08]

agreed, i couldn't check my subscribed threads and no one posted so i forgot it existed...

[The Mattador]

"From Deepest Darkest Africa....Akeem!" AKA One-Man-Gang.

Okay, you are a baller for knowing that...the thread is yours! By the way, Akeem and the Big Bossman was one of the greatest tag teams ever!

[The Mattador]

What wrestler tried to invade WCW as the Shockmaster while wearing a bedazzled storm trooper helmet?

[Pepsirox08]

fred ottman or typhoon, but i dont wanna ask a question...

[JDKenada]

Alright, I'll toss out another...

Hulk Hogan was not originally slated as being the third member of the nWo. Who was?

[Pepsirox08]

Big Show, X-Pac, Shawn Michaels... i think there was a sting imposter... too many options...

[viciousbuddha]

I think it was The British Bulldog

[JDKenada]

So far none of the above.

Here's a hint: He was a World Champion while the nWo was at its highest.

[Captain Beyond]

Was Triple H a possibility?

[JDKenada]

Second hint: He is not someone on the WWE roster.

[JDKenada]

Answer: Lex Luger

Apparently, Bischoff was talking to Hogan while the Hulkster was on hiatus about what the plan was for the whole nWo, and Hogan suggested he be the third guy, as him as a heel hadn't really been done and that it would be a great ratings move.

[The Mattador]

Lex Luger...what was the name of his gimmick when he used to tote a mirror out to the ring when he first flipped to WWF?

[Captain Beyond]

The Narcissist

[The Mattador]

The Narcissist was almost as cool as the Lex Luger 'Lex Express' All-American Bus Tour!

[Captain Beyond]

What was the name of Ron Simmons tag team in WCW and who was his partner?

[Pepsirox08]

APA with Bradshaw?? Butch Reed with Doom??

[Captain Beyond]

APA with Bradshaw?? Butch Reed with Doom??

One or the other, which one is it?

[Pepsirox08]

ill go with Doom...

[Captain Beyond]

ill go with Doom...

Keeerect!

Remember the APA was originated when they were supposed to be acolytes of the Undertaker during one of his heel turns in the WWE.

[Pepsirox08]

WHAT A RUSH!!! When Hawk passed away, who replaced him as the new Road Warrior??

[JDKenada]

Heidenreich.

I was going to say Droz, but it occurred to me Hawk was still around at that point.

[Pepsirox08]

Heidenreich is the correct answer!! thread is yours JDK

[JDKenada]

How many times was The British Bulldog a singles champion in WWE/WWF?

[Captain Beyond]

I'm thinking once.

[JDKenada]

I'm thinking you're short a few. :)

[Contingency Plan]

How many times was The British Bulldog a singles champion in WWE/WWF?

He was a 5 time singles champion. 1 Intercontinental, 2 time European, and 2 time Hardcore.

[The Mattador]

I also think he was a tag-team champion with Neidhart at some point...

[JDKenada]

I also think he was a tag-team champion with Neidhart at some point...

He was a tag champ with Dynamite and Owen. However, that unfortunately wasn't the question

How many times was The British Bulldog a singles champion in WWE/WWF?

Contingency would be correct, so the thread's yours my Fire Pro friend.

[Contingency Plan]

Contingency would be correct, so the thread's yours my Fire Pro friend.

Sweet!

Ok, for rep, I will use a very easy question. The Undertaker has wrestled under 8 different monikers. Name them.

[Pepsirox08]

The Undertaker, Cain the Undertaker, The Punisher, Mark Callous, Texas Red, The Commando, Punisher Dice Morgan, Master of Pain. Heh such an evil guy, who knew!

[Contingency Plan]

The Undertaker, Cain the Undertaker, The Punisher, Mark Callous, Texas Red, The Commando, Punisher Dice Morgan, Master of Pain. Heh such an evil guy, who knew!

Winner!! The rep is yours.

The thread is yours my good man...

[The Mattador]

I loved it when he did the heart punch!!! That's a better move than the Tombstone any day of the week...

[Contingency Plan]

Except that the wrestlers back then had a tendency to really....and I mean really, over sell it.

[Pepsirox08]

Except that the wrestlers back then had a tendency to really....and I mean really, over sell it.

oh and triangle choke he does now isnt over selling it... automatically start bleeding from the mouth!!

Ok here is an easy one... what tag team has held the tag titles the most, and how many times??

[JDKenada]

The Dudleyz/Dudley Boyz/Dudley Boys/Team 3-D

15 reigns.

[The Mattador]

Thou shalt not f*** with the Dudleys!!!

[Pepsirox08]

The Dudleyz are correct (spike was the best), thread is urs JDK!!

[Contingency Plan]

oh and triangle choke he does now isnt over selling it... automatically start bleeding from the mouth!!

Dually noted...

[JDKenada]

Lance Storm was a 4-time WWE Tag Team Champion. Name the men he won gold with.

[Contingency Plan]

Lance Storm was a 4-time WWE Tag Team Champion. Name the men he won gold with.

Ooh, kind of a trick question..

He first won it with Christian when they were part of the UnAmericans.

He then held it on two occasions with William Regal.

And finally was teamed with Chief Morley(Val Venis).

So...

Christian
William Regal twice
and Morley.

[JDKenada]

You are correct. All yours.

[Pepsirox08]

i only knew christian and regal...

[Contingency Plan]

Ok, here is an easy one. One for the holidays...

Which wrestler performed under the name Xanta Klaus?

[Pepsirox08]

BALLS!!! hmm wonder if that gets censored... Balls Mahoney!

[JDKenada]

Apparently it doesn't. Lol.

[Contingency Plan]

BALLS!!! hmm wonder if that gets censored... Balls Mahoney!

Winner, winner.

The thread is all yours!!

[Pepsirox08]

Who is the first inductee into the 2009 Hall of Fame??

[turdburglar47]

Here's a trivia question - how do you move your CAW model around in Xbox 360 SvR2009? I can't move the jerk to look at what I'm changing on him. Also, I can't get numbers to enter on the Cheat Code entry thing.

Okay, it's not trivia. It is a plea for help.

[The Mattador]

Who is the first inductee into the 2009 Hall of Fame??

The Ringmaster aka Stunning Steve aka Stone Cold Steve Austin

[Pepsirox08]

The Ringmaster aka Stunning Steve aka Stone Cold Steve Austin

All of those names (What?) are absolutely (What?) Correct! (What?)

Your thread, Mattador! NOW GIVE ME A HELL YEA!!!

[The Mattador]

HELL YEAH!!!! Mattador 3:16 says I just whipped your ###!!!!

What was John Cena's original ring name?

[Pepsirox08]

Wasnt it Mr. P or something like that?

[simonexus]

HELL YEAH!!!! Mattador 3:16 says I just whipped your ###!!!!

What was John Cena's original ring name?

The Prototype?

[The Mattador]

The Prototype?

It was the Prototype...your thread...

[simonexus]

Here goes and one from a little further down the line:

Who was the first person to get a televised clean victory over Mr. Perfect in the WWF?

[The Mattador]

Bret 'The Hitman' Hart

[simonexus]

Nope, there were a couple of guys before. Anybody else?

[Captain Beyond]

Hulk Hogan

[simonexus]

Hogan got the first pin on Perfect, but it was a house show only. The Q is about a televised match;)

[Captain Beyond]

I'm trying to remember who were faces back then, how about Randy Savage?

[simonexus]

Nope. Savage was still a heel back then.

A little hint then (I think it is allowed?). The guy in question was almost always close to the main event, but never had a singles title in the WWF. And the match in question was before (but a very short time before!) Perfect got the IC title.

[Captain Beyond]

I'm the guy who started this thread and I guess I get to say if hints are allowed so why not? Given that hint, I'll say Jake the Snake. I don't remember him ever getting a title despite his popularity.

[simonexus]

Not Jake either. Another little hint then - despite his popularity Jake never had any title whatsoever in the WWF, while the guy in question had 1 Tag Title reign in the 80s. Also, he was close to the main event more because of "who he knew" (or hang with) than because of "what he knew" (or could do).

So:
* Not Hitman, Randy Savage, Hulk Hogan or Jake "The Snake" Roberts (though they were all on the card when the match in question took place!)
But:
* a face
* with only 1 Tag Team Title on his resume

[Pepsirox08]

Its the beefcake!! Brutus "The Barber" Beefcake was the first to beat him. YAY i win!

[simonexus]

Its the beefcake!! Brutus "The Barber" Beefcake was the first to beat him. YAY i win!

Yes, indeed! In what is actually quite astounding when you look back at it, Perfect had over 1 and a half year of an undefeated streak that came to an end at the hands of none other than Brutus "The Barber" Beefcake at WrestleMania VI :laugh:

(we're talking TV matches of course, he did lose on a couple of house shows to Hogan, Dusty Rhodes and I think Big Boss Man earlier that year)

Later that month he won the IC title that Ultimate Warrior was stripped off after winning the World Title at the same event.

Your thread, Pepsirox08!

[HHHnRaven]

Ok, not trying to hijack the thread or anything, but doesn't seem like anybody's using it so I'll offer up a trivia question just until Pepsirox takes over. Not hijackin the thread, just keepin it warm for ya!

Q: Who was the first ever UWF (previously Mid-South Wrestling) Heavyweight Champion?

[JDKenada]

Freebird Terry Gordy!

Though...I don't think he was remotely close to a Freebird at this stage.

In keeping with the theme, though...

Who beat him for the title later that year?

[HHHnRaven]

He was indeed a Freebird, as the Freebirds were running roughshod over the now defunct Mid-South territory into the UWF, just coming off their stint in WCCW.

Ok, pre-Vince McMahon, pre-Akeem, One Man Gang beat Terry "Bam Bam" Gordy for the UWF strap, back when OMG was a true threat before he was reincarnated from "deepest darkest Africa", just another Vince molestation of a great territorial talent.

Molestation is an interesting word. Stripping him of all his dignity would be a better one. Plus, you're right.

I didn't know the Freebirds were still riding high when he won the belt. It's a bit early for me and I don't know enough about territory wrestling.

[HHHnRaven]

Ok, now that I've shown my age, I'll try and keep things more contemporary.

Who did Owen Hart wrestle in his very first Wrestlemania match?

[majinmagog]

Ok, now that I've shown my age, I'll try and keep things more contemporary.

Who did Owen Hart wrestle in his very first Wrestlemania match?


Mr. Perfect?

[HHHnRaven]

Correctamundo majinmagog!

Decked out in his Blue Blazer persona @ Wrestlemania IV, he and Perfect went on to have a great match. So sad that they left this world too soon.

RIP Curt Hennig & Owen Hart.

[JDKenada]

Let's spruce this thread back up a little...

Booker T & Stevie Ray won the most WCW tag titles. Who's third on the list?

[Pepsirox08]

Let's spruce this thread back up a little...

Booker T & Stevie Ray won the most WCW tag titles. Who's third on the list?

The Dudleyz? the only team that matters...

[JDKenada]

The Dudleyz? the only team that matters...

Even if they were the only team that mattered, if Booker T and Stevie Ray are the top two, that would suggest number three is an individual. :grin:

Plus, The Dudleyz only held the WCW titles a couple times (if it was even more than once, come to think of it).

[unsung hero]

Lets go with Ricky Steamboat.

[Captain Beyond]

I don't remember the Dudley Boys ever even being in WCW.

[JDKenada]

I don't remember the Dudley Boys ever even being in WCW.

They weren't. But, they were in WWE during the Invasion and as such managed to win the WCW title. Doesn't count really, IMHO, but trying telling that to others.

Alas, it's not Steamboat either.

Hint #1: Still wrestling.

[Captain Beyond]

I'll hazard a guess and say Sting.

[HHHnRaven]

Scott Steiner?

[HHHnRaven]

Scott Steiner?

[JDKenada]

This should make it easy (sorry for the delay in response):

It's not Sting, or Steiner. However...this individual is seen beside them nearly ever week.

[Captain Beyond]

You're kidding me! Kevin Nash? I knew he abused his stroke with Bischoff to the point he helped kill WCW but I didn't think it went that far.

[JDKenada]

Stevie Ray -11
Booker T -10
Kevin Nash -9


Hell, I remember him being a champ with Hall on how many occasions, Sting once or twice...and there's probably more in there that made no sense at the time.

[Contingency Plan]

Stevie Ray -11
Booker T -10
Kevin Nash -9


Hell, I remember him being a champ with Hall on how many occasions, Sting once or twice...and there's probably more in there that made no sense at the time.

Nash held the titles with Hall 6 times and Sting once. The other guy he held them with was DDP(twice), and went by the team known as the "Insiders". It was near the end of WCW. To prove it, they won the titles and feuded with Chuck Palumbo and Shawn Stasiak. Talk about a weak tag division.

Name another tag team on RAW. Trust me, tag wrestling in WWE is an after thought and an all time low...and it's been there for several years.

[HHHnRaven]

Cryme Tyme
Biscuits N Gravy...err Jesse & Festus

[JDKenada]

Cryme Tyme
Biscuits N Gravy...err Jesse & Festus

Um, which one of those is supposed to be on RAW?

I mean, other than Festus none of them actually are...

Meanwhile, Cryme Tyme is about the only tag team on SmackDown.

Oh, no doubt. The WWE is really doing a number on the tag division. I wish they would really re-work it and give it some quality time. With Raw, Smackdown, and ECW, they have 5 hours each week plus PPVs to showcase some talent.

Miz and Morrison was a great tag team. And I liked Cade and Murdoch. Now the only team I care about seeing is the Hart Dynasty. Hopefully they are used to help rebuild the division.

[Jarimy123]

the third is hornswoggle and golddust. And out of those 3, priceless is the best!

[JDKenada]

Lol, that wasn't a trivia question so much as disdain for the current landscape of tag wrestling in WWE.

There were rumours they would put all the tag teams on ECW. I was optimistic when I heard that, but clearly it's not the case.

[Contingency Plan]

How many "pro wrestlers" have died under the age of 40?

Way too many......

[Contingency Plan]

Lol, that wasn't a trivia question so much as disdain for the current landscape of tag wrestling in WWE.

There were rumours they would put all the tag teams on ECW. I was optimistic when I heard that, but clearly it's not the case.

And honestly, I think the ECW show is the best of the bunch. I am even enjoying Kozlov and Ryder on there. Can't believe I said I enjoyed Kozlov.....

I would totally go for all the tag teams on ECW. At least they would get some air time.

[JDKenada]

Actually, post-draft I'm quite excited about the possibilities on SmackDown.

RAW is pushing Miz & MVP but otherwise it's same old same. Orton/HHH or Cena/Show fails to illicit any excitement from me and no doubt many others.

Looking back at this, you pretty much nailed it. Smackdown is brilliant, while the Main Event picture of Raw has been pretty stagnant. Next up is another Orton/Cena match. Yippee!!
