He wouldn't care about any of those. Warrior did himself in by saying he has plugs.

Grant DaNasty posted:I want them to edit future releases of that Wrestlemania to where the match ends right after the pedigree, and it just goes directly to the next match. With Vince planning to spend lots of money recently, Triple H asks him to invest in superior CGI/green-screen technology so he can have Zack Ryder dress up as Ultimate Warrior and they can do Wrestlemania XII, "The Way it was intended to be". In the role of Triple H will be Drew McIntyre. MassRayPer posted:He wouldn't care about any of those. Warrior did himself in by saying he has plugs. Jericho one time admitted to plugs.

Hogan would be pretty daft to sue, unless he was 100% clean over everything related to what Warrior said, because they would dig up so much embarrassing poo poo it wouldn't be funny.

Granted, in FCW's case they're gonna lose money on account of nobody trained through their system is ever gonna draw on the WWE roster but that's a different story completely.

I remember when Razor Ramon was debuting, he'd cut promos on Randy Savage, challenging his manhood etc. However I don't remember them having any matches, is this right? If they did, what shows / PPVs were they and how good?

I believe Razor also interfered in the house show match where Savage lost the title to Flair. When's the last time they did a house show title change? I seem to remember them hot-potatoing the Euro belt on some of the overseas tours, as well as Edge winning the IC title from Jeff Jarrett right before some PPV. That's going back a bit though.

The last one I can see is the Tag Title change in December 2008 when Miz & Morrison beat Punk & Kofi. Unless you count TNA who unsurprisingly seem more keen on the idea and changed the X-Division champion twice at house shows in 2010 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/House_show

This is a weird question but I just wanted to know. Has there ever been an angle in the WWE where like there were a champion and a challanger having a feud, and in the middle of the feud the champion loses the belt to another person by no fault of the challanger?

I hope not, because that sounds like awful booking. edit: unless you count Raven losing the US title to Goldberg during Raven's feud with DDP. No wait, that was kinda bad booking too.

Wasn't Christian more or less still in the middle of a feud with Del Rio when Orton won the belt? I'm probably remembering wrong but the whole thing seemed weird to me.

Mr. Carlisle posted:Wasn't Christian more or less still in the middle of a feud with Del Rio when Orton won the belt? Christian more or less took the reigns on the face side of the Edge/Del Rio feud, then the draft happened and ADR was Raw-bound (apparently his entire SD run was to build him for a move to Raw?) and Orton was on Smackdown as an imported topcard face, so naturally he had to hold the title by default. Compounding matters, with ADR's departure went the only mid-to-topcard heel on Smackdown. So for ADR's final Smackdown match at ER, Christian wins the title, blowing off the feud because ADR's on Raw now and it was a vacated title so there's no rematch clause anyhow. Enter Orton. A month later he's heel. Short answer: Not exactly e: beaten like a gubmint mule

I remember seeing that as a kid and thinking it was such bullshit because I knew Bret wouldn't get a rematch to get his belt back and Hogan seemed to come out of loving nowhere for no reason.

Yeah I guess that does count, although I always thought, even though i didn't actually see WWF at this time, that it was the ending of the feud between Bret Hart and Yokozuna.

It certainly was once Hogan inserted himself into it randomly, yeah. I don't know if there was more to the story as to why that played out the way it did or not but I like I mentioned before even as a kid I knew it was some sort of bullshit shenanigans. I don't think that would have been the end of the feud had Hogan not gotten involved.

The first one that comes to mind is Bret in 1997 when he had the title and was feuding with Stone Cold before Wrestlemania. Bret lost the title to Sid in a cage match on Raw. Austin had even tried to help Bret win it so their match at WM could be for the championship. Not awful booking at all. It was excellent booking because it added to Austin and Bret's feud, and their match didn't need to be for the title. Austin was majorly pissed off at Bret for losing the match. And Bret losing the title furthered the downward spiral that his career was becoming. It led to a long angry whiny cursing tirade from Bret which was the catalyst for the double turn at WM. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A02sILrNXIA some bust on that guy fucked around with this message at 07:43 on Jun 11, 2011 |

Bret won the title at Final Four and Austin directly cost him the title the next night on Raw (Bret had Sid in the sharpshooter and Austin hit him with a chair). That was what led to Bret vs. Austin being signed for WM. So the cage match with Austin trying to help Bret win (which I just vaguely remember) must have been Sid defending. edit- Doesn't take away from your overall point, though. It was excellently booked.

That was what led to Bret vs. Austin being signed for WM. So the cage match with Austin trying to help Bret win (which I just vaguely remember) must have been Sid defending. Austin was supposed to win at final four but it got rebooked on the fly when he tweaked his knee. From the wiki quote:The next night on Raw, Hart defended his newly won WWF Championship against Sycho Sid. Hart's fourth reign lasted only one day as Austin interfered in the match and helped Sid in defeating Hart to get the win and the title.[8] Undertaker was named the number one contender to the WWF Championship. On March 17 edition of Raw, Hart and Sid faced each other in a rematch for the title which was contested in a steel cage. The stipulation was that the winner would defend the WWF Championship against their scheduled opponent (Sid's being the Undertaker, Hart's being Austin) at WrestleMania 13. Undertaker and Austin both interfered in the match. Undertaker helped Sid because he wanted to wrestle Sid for the title while Austin helped Hart because he wanted the no disqualification submission match between him and Hart to have the championship on the line. Sid won the match and retained the title.

LvK posted:Are there any notable masked wrestlers whose identities are still unknown? What do you mean? If you're talking about people who never unmasked, then yes. Just in Mexico, there's dozens of wrestlers who never lost their masks in the ring. But it's kinda hard to keep your real name secret in wrestling. Someone will say "Oh, that's Jim" to someone and boop, mystery solved. But El Santo never unmasked, I don't think Hijo del Santo ever unmasked, The Great Sasuke is still wearing his mask in public appearances today, El Generico hasn't been unmasked(and stayed unmasked), and neither has Delirious.
