Besides we all know Slow Chemical from Finger Eleven would win hands down.
Slow Chemical was basically commissioned by WWE; Discogs only has the song appearing on international versions of Forceable Entry before it showed up on the Punisher soundtrack.

And even the Punisher soundtrack's status as a non-wrestling release is supsect, when you read down the tracklist and notice how much material has shown up in WWE in some form.

Yes I know too much about early/mid-2000's buttrock.

Yeah the company is called New Korea Pro Wrestling. They sometimes cross promote with Land's End in Japan and I think the All Asia Heavyweight title (like the original one) ended up there after The Bodyguard dropped it.

Something we did in wrestling practice when I was a kid, for one, might be where they got it from. Presumable good for shooting single legs and such.

Back in the distant dawn of time because he was the knock out elbow man but instead an overly flamboyant & goofy prick, Chris Hero would do that walk around the ring as a taunt.

a couple of different things are being misconstrued/misremembered as the same thing. one of them is a sad little child's duck walk and the other is a military exercise that is illegal to do if you didn't pass marine training

Why did WWF get rid of the North American title in favor of the Intercontinental title? If they already had the NA title at the time, why did they need to pretend there was a South American title/tournament to unify it?

If I had to guess I'd say because Vince thought "North American Title" sounded too much like a small territories thing. This is based on zero research or knowledge.

Justin Credible needed a job after ECW folded so they threw him in a tag team with X-Pac.

T&A had broken up in late 2000 when someone (Chris Kreski probably) pointed out that Test working as a henchman for the McMahon-Helmsley Facgime didn't really make any sense, so Test turned face and feuded with Eddie Guerrero for the European title.

All of the other more over teams circa early 2001 were turning into trios:

- Too Cool + Rikishi
- Edge & Christian (w. Kurt Angle or Rhyno)
- Hardy Boyz + Lita
- Radicalz
- the Dudley Boys had added Spike
- though not actually more over, the Right to Censor had three guys + Stevie + Ivory

So for lack of anything better to do with Albert, they threw him in as the Off Brand Diesel heavy to the tag team and soon YOU WERE DEALING WITH THE X-FACTOR


Of course like two months later the Invasion started and Justin Credible joined ECW THE ALLIANCE and all WWF wrestlers were de facto babyfaces except everyone still booed Albert and X-Pac so they were sort of depushed and sadly we only got a handful of X-Factor PPV shows.

I don't know if they would have gone anywhere otherwise, but it was very bad timing on top of everything else.

Depends on how you measure "over" - RTC was getting bigger heat than even the top heels at the time.

Why did RTC always win but have a Stevie suffer a post match beating? Get the Dudleyz their heat back sure, but why didn't they just win?

I'm not sure if the heat RTC got was anything that translated into being 'over' as part of a storyline or match, their whole thing was "some girl is going to undress, but now they can't!" and sure, that will get heat in circa 2000 wrestling crowds. Maybe I'm misremembering, but did anyone care about them during matches?
