Jackie Fargo's real name was pretty unfortunate.

Yes. When Vince was doing the expansion in the this mid-80s he felt it was important to let the wrestlers keep their names as a way to draw in the territorial fans who were familiar with them, and only tweaking the gimmick a bit in some cases.

Do we know who's idea that was? Or is it a case everyone pointing at everyone else? Like "I told them it was a stupid idea, but he had Vince's ear."

At least it was a good way to keep the action figures colorful and distinct.

Defenestrategy posted:Was the william regal real mans man gimmick a rib by vince? I don't think Regal has ever named names but I think he's strongly implied in the past that Russo pitched it to him with the flawless logic that British = Gay apparently. Vince probably found it hilarious too though.

Is there a list of all the things that have been used as the prize in a ladder match? We've had belts, briefcases, clipboards and everything that can be attached to them like custody paperwork or employment contracts. What else?

Judy Bagwell and that time they had a stun gun (?) on a pole match and the pole was like 50ft high, so they had to get Jimmy Hart to climb it because there's no way the 2 beef dudes could do it (Big Boss man and someone else I think)

Stardom did a "Moneyball" ladder match - a large plastic ball full of money - but then a ladder tipped over and broke it all over the ring early in the match. They still had to climb for the empty half of the ball so they could pile all the money into it.

Lily Catts posted:What are some examples of fighting game moves ported into wrestling? (It has to be explicitly called the move from the fighting game to count) Kenny used to do the Hadouken and SPD (on Yoshihiko), Speedball does the Tatsumaki Senpuu Kyaku, anyone else I'm missing? I'm surprised SHO doesn't have an EWGF-type move Ishii did a pretty gnarly E Honda sumo headbutt to Eddie Kingston the other day.
