I'm pretty sure those signs were WWE given. Which makes it all the more puzzling that commentary didn't recognize it.

The guy holding the "It's Unanimous - Edge DOES Suck" sign was Rick Achberger, the WWE Sign Guy. I'm pretty sure he just made them all and handed them out around ringside.

At the EC ppv this past year, a WWE dude was passing out like hundreds of signs to the crowd that said CM PUNK SUCKS.

Punk was a lab assistant while in ROH. He got fired for poor conduct.

Edge and Christian worked in a bikini store before getting into wrestling. Apparently it's not NEARLY as cool as it sounds. Edge is also a qualified journalist.

Didn't Cena drive limos? Then of course the common ones people talk and joke about, Clay was Snoop Dogg's bodyguard (and I think some other rappers?), Paul Bearer was a legitimate funeral director, and Great Khali was a cop before he turned actor/wrassler.

Since outside interference is completely kosher in MITB matches, what would happen if someone not part of the match grabbed the briefcase? Would it count as them obtaining the contract, or would they be able to give it to one of the participants? It's the actual who does the unhooking and grabbing part that decides who wins, so I feel like the outsider ought to be able to win even though that's really kind of stupid (I want this to happen very badly)

Maybe they'd put up a new briefcase? I half expected one of the tag teams in the WHC match to cooperate and grab the briefcase at the same time. I'm sure two simultaneous winners will happen eventually if they keep the gimmick going.

Because you know if WCW had money in the bank matches they would have had a finish where a wrestler fumbled the case as they were unhooking it, dropped it and a non-wrestler caught it and "Won" (A celebrity if they could get one, Judy Bagwell or similar if they could not).

I know TNA did an Ultimate X match where AJ Styles caught the belt after it was unhooked by (I think) Chris Daniels and Petey Williams above him. He caught the belt when it fell and was declared winner.

Well the better example from TNa was during the x-division ladder match on one of the first few months shows, Sean Waltman won the match despite not actually being in it (or in storylines actually employed by the company).

They kept going and the ref ruled they had to grab the board that the belt was strapped to in order to win.

The belt fell down twice and there's a period where guys are brawling around it and trying to pretend like they don't see it.

I've been using Wikipedia lately to read about wrestlers so I can catch up on what's happened since I last watched and I noticed that a lot of them live in Florida. Why is that? My friend was telling me it's because it's the painkiller capitol of the world but I don't believe him.

Also since NXT/FCW is based in Florida, basically everyone who has gone through WWE developmental in recent years had to move down there at some point. Many probably stayed there for the reasons mentioned.

What was the deal with Eddie Guerrero's infamous blade job against JBL? Did he blade deeply on purpose or was it a total accident? I've been out of wrestling for a while and only just saw the match, it's probably the most blood I've seen outside of a deathmatch, and probably the worst bleeding I've seen in a WWE ring.

As far as I understand, it was just an accident and he just cut too deep. And yeah, it's a horrifically bloody match. Way up there on the Muta Scale.
