APW's Official "Stump Ebon" Thread

[brandenharvey]

This is the thread where we try to stump Ebon on wrestling knowledge. I'll start.

1. When Ric Flair was fired by WCW, he took the big gold belt with him to the WWF. Oops. It didn't take long before WCW took legal action, and they were successful. First, WWF blurred out the image of the WCW belt on their broadcasts. After WCW got the belt back, WWF still blurred the belt. Say what, Prof? Yes, WWF then used a DIFFERENT belt and pretended it was the WCW belt, which no one at home knew because it was still blurred out. In fact, which belt did Flair use as his "WCW" belt that would get blurred out?

2. There is a reason WWF is called WWE today: Vince McMahon is a stubborn, hard-headed control freak who likes to live by his own rules. And that's why he has to pay his production crew overtime to edit out all those old logos. Boy, Vince showed them, huh? The initials "WWF" belong to someone else today. In fact, what does WWF stand for today? Hint: It's not World Wrestling Federation (duh).

3. Brock Lesnar had a lawsuit out against WWE. What hurt his case, however, is that he appeared for which foreign promotion in 2004?

4. Let's play Word Association. The word is Lewmar. Ever hear of them? They were a company involved in the Owen Hart death lawsuit. What was their role?

5. Missy Hyatt filed a sexual harassment lawsuit against WCW after she was fired in 1993/1994. Laugh all you want, but I don't think any of us would doubt Missy was legitimately harassed by many in the company. Why was Missy fired from WCW in the first place?

6. Speaking of sexual harassment, one former WWE performer filed a lawsuit against the company for that very reason. No one believed her, though. For one, she appeared to be after whatever money WWE might give her to quietly settle the suit. While most would term her a Chyna rip-off, the truth was that she was well known on the Northeastern bodybuilding scene years before there was ever a Chyna, and made quite a name for herself on national radio. What muscular woman filed, and lost, this sexual harassment lawsuit against WWE?

7. Sonny Ono, along with a bunch of WCW guys you've never heard of, filed and won a big case against Time Warner after WCW went belly up. Word on the street is they got lucky (and very rich) and benefited from Time Warner wanting to avoid a public relations nightmare. While they all got rich, scores of other WCW guys who also never got pushes ended up with zilch. Is that fair? No. Is life fair? No. What did Sonny Ono and his buddies sue Time Warner for?

8. This wouldn't be a quiz on lawsuits without mentioning the infamous Vince McMahon steroid trial of 1994. True or False: In the indictments against McMahon, the government wanted to seize WWE's corporate headquarters (called "Titan Towers" at the time).

9. Jesse Ventura woke up the sleeping giant when he sued WWE many years ago over royalties he never received. Did Jesse win or lose this case?

10. Here's a very recent and very easy question to round out the quiz. WWE would've had a major case on their hands had Blue Meanie decided to sue them over the JBL incident at ECW One Night Stand. What did WWE do to appease Meanie, and thus prevent future legal action?

[ajking]

you underestimate the power of google.

["The Madman" Ebon]

first one got me I would guess that it was an older world title and I remember it cause the blurred pictures had color in the belt and the NWA/WCW title was the big gold belt that Edge has now which has no color, well other then gold

second one is World Wildlife Fund but everyone knows that

Brock wrestled for New Japan and was IWGP champion and had some great matches worth looking up

Lewmar either made the harness or the latches that connected the harness to the line

Missy got fired because she had nip slip which led to the sexual harrasment

Miss Brock Lesnar or that female referee from the 80s theres been a few

Sonny sued for racial discrimination

I don't know but i'd say false

Jesse won the lawsuit

Meanie got a shit ton of money and got to pin JBL on national television after interference by the Blue World Order and Batista



and I said I knew alot about wrestling, not that I was a fucking legal expert damn right I used fucking google, wikipedia two! But only for the Sonny Onoo question and the second sexual harrasment one, didnt help that you worded it that way wtf man lol

[brandenharvey]

-After WWE lost the court case with WCW, Flair wore the old WWE tag team belt to the ring, which WWE blurred out and pretended it was the old NWA/WCW belt.

-WWF today stands for World Wildlife Fund.

-Brock Lesnar appeared for New Japan in 2005 in a non-wrestling role. I was incorrect in saying it was 2004. Speaking of Lesnar, did that court case with WWE end up a major surprise or what?

-Lewmar was the company that manufactured the apparatus Owen Hart used to descend from the ceiling as the Blue Blazer.

-Missy was fired from WCW for going over Eric Bischoff’s head when she had a complaint about sexual harassment. You know, when her boob popped out of her top during the Nasty Boys match and the photo was blown up for the whole office to see? If that had happened here in Sacramento, Missy would be about $20 million richer right now.

-The woman wrestler who sued WWE for sexual harassment was Nicole Bass.

-Sonny Onoo sued Turner for racial discrimination. After hearing how much money he won, I'm thinking of suing them too, and I never even worked there.

-True, the government did want to seize WWE’s Titan Towers. As incompetent as the government can be sometimes, I think they'd do a better job of writing WWE TV than WWE currently does now.

-Jesse won his case against WWE, proving everybody wrong and winning $1 million. I wonder if Vince McMahon "choked on that million."

-To appease Blue Meanie, WWE brought him in and put him over JBL in very unconvincing fashion. Meanie fell for it, hook, line, and sinker. Then he was discarded. Then he complained about getting no phone calls returned. If you look up "kicked to the curb" in the dictionary, you'll see a picture of Meanie and a description of his entire 2005 WWE run.

[brandenharvey]

New Questions

1. History was made when Raw debuted on the USA network. Name the month and year of this debut.

2. History was made again when Nitro debuted on TNT. Name the month and year of this debut.

3. The Spring of 2001 was a horrible time in life. WCW folded, ECW folded, Jackie Martling quit Stern, Austin turned heel, WCW "invaded" WWE in a huge disaster, and the red hot economy went crash, bang, boom. The final Nitro was mesmerizing, as Vince McMahon was on WCW and shocked the nation. It's a sight nobody reading this will ever forget. On that final Nitro, what was the main event?

4. One of the first television specials on cable was the Royal Rumble. It was a fun show, certainly better than the NWA Bunkhouse Stampede Dusty had booked that same night on PPV. At the Rumble, how did Dino Bravo "break" the world bench press record?

5. The NWA struck back in March of 1988, with a Clash of the Champions debut special that will go down as one of the best shows of the Crockett era. As Meltzer wrote that week, "Jim Crockett kicked Vince McMahon's ass," referring to the Clash show going head to head with WrestleMania 4. In the main event, Flair drew newcomer Sting in some of the best 45 minutes of our lives. How did this not make the Flair DVD? Just a sensational match. Plus, how can you NOT like a show that had Jim Cornette do a segment with Eddie Haskell? A few celebrity judges were at ringside for the Flair-Sting match. Name one of them.

6. The first time wrestling returned to prime time network television in decades was the Hogan vs. Andre match on February 5, 1988. This match even made the newspaper the next day when Hogan lost the belt, which was unheard of back then. But Savage vs. Honkytonk Man was on the same show. The finish of that match is quite notable. What happened behind the scenes with Honkytonk before his match took place? (And in hindsight, it was good for Savage's career that it turned out the way it did).

7. On the Owen Hart tribute show that aired on Raw the day following Owen's death, which of these wrestlers read a poem about Owen?

HHH
Chyna
Jeff Jarrett
Mark Henry
Debra McMichael
Edge
Darren Drozdov
Mick Foley
Lanny Poffo

8. Over in WCW, months after Owen died, they aired an "Owen Hart tribute match." It was an excellent, lengthy match. What two wrestlers squared off in this very emotional match?

9. The debut of "Saturday Night's Main Event" was also a milestone in wrestling history. My dad would get angry when the announcer said, "Saturday Night Live will not be seen tonight." Seconds later, his groans would turns to cheers when the announcer continued, "Instead, stay tuned for WWF Saturday Night's Main Event!" Name one match from the first ever Saturday Night's Main Event. Come on, Google awaits you!

10. This is a fake milestone, but still notable. Just recently, WWE announced Raw was now the longest running show in TV history, or something like that. Whatever. Anyway, right after Vince made that ridiculous announcement, he then switched gears and announced the long-awaited WWE return of whom? It should still be fresh in your memory.

["The Madman" Ebon]

January '93

September '95

Sting beat Ric Flair in a half star match

He benched alot of weight while Jesse Ventura helped him out curling it

Jason Hervey, Eric Bischoff's partner in his production company and former Wonder Years star

I have no idea I couldnt give less of a shit about Honky Tonk Man to be honest

Sexual Chocolate Mark Henry

Chris Benoit vs Bret Hart

Hogan vs Cowboy Bob, that was during the Mr. T/Piper angle

Bret Hart?

[brandenharvey]

-Raw debuted in January of 1993. Remember the days when Superstars of Wrestling was WWF’s “A” show??

-Nitro debuted in September of 1995.

-The main event on the final Nitro was Ric Flair vs. Sting. Hey isn’t it amazing that Flair’s body today has literally transformed from those days? Wow, he must be working out extra hard in the gym… or something. What could that something be? I should make that a quiz question.

-Dino Bravo “broke” the world bench press record when Jesse Ventura pretended to spot him, but instead helped him lift the weight. It was well done, and I miss those simple angles WWF used to do so effectively. Back then, Frenchy Marin’s (Dino’s manager) catch phrase, “The USA is not OK,” was considered ground-breaking.

-The celebrity judges for the Flair-Sting 1988 classic were Jason Hervey, 1988 Penthouse Pet of the Year Patty Mullen, Sandy Scott, Gary Juster, and Ken “Eddie Haskell” Osmond. It was funny because you could see Hervey hitting on Mullen whenever the camera was on them. Well, it’s not like you and I wouldn’t have done the same thing if we were in Hervey’s place.

-Honkytonk Man and his ego refused to put over Randy Savage and lose the IC title on that NBC special. And thank goodness, because Savage then went on to become WWF champ and drew record money with Hogan a year after that.

-On the Owen Hart tribute on Raw, it was Mark Henry who read the poem.

-The Owen Hart “tribute” match on Nitro was between Bret Hart and Chris Benoit.

-The matches from the first ever Saturday Night’s Main Event were: Rotunda & Windham & Steamboat vs. Sheik & Volkoff & Steele, Hogan vs. Orton, Richter vs. Moolah, and JYD vs. Pete Doughtery.

-When Vince announced Raw as the longest running show, he then introduced Matt Hardy back to WWE. If nothing else, WWE proved in 2005 that they are still the masters of screwing up can’t-miss angles.

[brandenharvey]

1. Bret Hart was in a huge bidding war in 1996, and ended up signing a 20-year contract with WWE. His announcement of this on Raw was memorable, as I’m sure you remember. True or False: when Bret made this announcement, Vince McMahon acted like he didn’t know what Bret was going to say.

2. Brock Lesnar’s services were available back when WCW was still in business. Both companies wanted him for obvious reasons. He chose WWE and began training in OVW. When he came to WWE, the reason he got over so well was that SmackDown had a head writer (Paul Heyman) who knew what he was doing. Heyman even managed Lesnar. Alas, the word “manager” could not be used. After all, that’s so ‘80s, says WWE. Instead of Heyman being called Lesnar’s “manager,” he was called his what? (Hint: Heyman was never referred to as a “diva,” and he never posed in a bikini. Not that I wouldn’t put it past WWE to actually do that).

3. WWE was expecting a huge bidding war among networks to sign Raw, the show that lost over half of its audience from its peak, thanks to the horrible booking under the watch of that self-proclaimed “bitch” (her words, not mine, but now that means we can refer her to as that, so I’m happy), Stephanie Levesque. Oops, there were no takers for Raw, except USA. You gotta love Spike for calling Vince’s bluff. How long was Raw on Spike TV for? (This is not a trick question. By Spike, I mean the old TNN, too.)

4. What former olympian does WWE pay $250,000 a year for doing almost nothing?

5. Which American company did Mick Foley wrestle for in November 1995?

6. Brian Pillman was the talk of the town for awhile in 1996, bouncing between WWE, WCW, and ECW. He got himself a nice sized contract with WWE in one of the most brilliant schemes a wrestler ever pulled off. Unfortunately, Pillman was injured shortly after his signing with WWE. How did he injure his ankle?

7. Two guys who made an absolute mint in wrestling were Rick and Scott Steiner. These brothers were making huge money long before the Monday night wars, and only continued to make even bigger money during the war. When Nitro got off the ground in its early days, who was the Steiners’ babyface manager?

8. One superstar and icon from the 80s and 90s who never had a run with WWE is Sting. Sting also made a fortune in wrestling, as even the moronic Turner suits weren’t dumb enough to lose him to WWE during the 90s. He got one great contract after another, and today he’s wealthy. You may wonder why, then, Sting chose to wrestle for TNA. That is, unless you know the real reason. Why is/was Sting so loyal to Jerry Jarrett?

9. “Bidding war” is not the proper term to use for WCW when it went belly up. Before WWE bought WCW, Eric Bischoff announced that HE had bought WCW. It never happened, as wrestling was yanked from Time Warner’s stations. What was the name of the company Bischoff convinced to buy WCW?

10. Before he joined the NWA in 1987, Lex Luger caused a major buzz with the phrase “the next Hogan” being thrown around. In the dying days of territories, what Southeastern state did Luger make a name for himself in before he joined up with Crockett?

[JD Storm]

i'm guessing on most of these, as my memory isn't so good anymore.



1. False

2. Personal Assistant

3. 5 years (i'm guessing)

4. Mark Henry

5. ECW, if memory serves me right.

6. motorcycle injury

7. "The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase

8. Jerry Jarrett was the first promoter to really give Sting a major break.

9. no clue.

10. Georgia Championship Wrestling

["The Madman" Ebon]

False

He was his Agent I believe

5 years

Sexual Chocolate Mark Henry

Either ECW or IWA Japan

Pillman wrecked his truck and his doctors had to fuse his ankle, the Loose Cannon DvD is on top of my DVD player watched it a few days ago

Missy Hyatt or Robin Green aka Woman

I believe Jerry brought Sting and Jim Hellwig in to the CWA I believe as the Blade Runners

Didnt know so I looked it up out of curiosity it was Fusient Media Ventures

Luger was called the next Hogan because he was trained by Hiro Matsuda the same guy that trained Hogan and Hiro was based in Florida and started right here in the Sunshine State

[brandenharvey]

-True, Vince McMahon did pretend on camera he didn't really know if Bret was going to choose to stay with WWF or go to WCW. Once Bret said Yes, Vince flashed this huge dopey grin and wiped his brow. Bret then uttered those infamous words: "I'll be with the WWF forever."

-Heyman was called Lesnar's "agent."

-Raw was on Spike/TNN for 5 years.

-The Olympian who signed the contract was Mark Henry.

-Extreme Championship Wrestling

-Pillman injured his ankle in a humvee wreck.

-The Steiners' babyface manager in WCW was Ted DiBiase.

-Sting is/was loyal to Jerry Jarrett because he was the only promoter who gave him a break back when he and buddy Ultimate "Jim Hellwig" Warrior were bodybuilders looking to get a break in wrestling.

-Bischoff tried to buy WCW through a company called Fusient Media Ventures.

-Luger originally made his name in Florida.

[brandenharvey]

1. Vince's bodybuilding fetish led to the World Bodybuilding Federation (WBF) in 1992, a money-losing venture that pre-dated the XFL. They had their own show on USA and everything. On the show, they kept selling this supplement that apparently led to all the WBF guys getting such great physiques (snicker). They did the first ever drug-free bodybuilding PPV, you know. What was this supplement called?

2. In 1987, the WWF launched this dessert product that was to die for. Just delicious. If you were a teenager back then, you'd go to your local 7-11, buy this product, and munch on it while you played 80s wrestling video games until you ran out of quarters. The ad in the WWF Magazine showed a picture of Jimmy Hart holding this product, with the line, "WWF Superstars that even the Mouth of the South can lick." Strange use of verbs, eh? Anyway, what is this food item that was WWF selling?

3. Speaking of 1987, that was the year the WWF album "Piledriver" came out. Name 1 song from that album AND the wrestler(s) who sang it.

4. Once upon a time there was a fantasy wrestling promotion called the IWA. It was advertised in the Stanley Weston (Apter) mags, and for a small fee, you could create your own wrestler, wrestling holds, and challenge other wrestlers through the mail. I believe this was the precursor to the e-fed. What did this IWA stand for?

5. Before the internet was a household word, there was Radio WWF. It was meant to be edgy and controversial, at least by early 90s standards. To get a buzz, WWF had one prominent superstar "shoot" on Hulk Hogan, calling him names that were taboo at the time. Oddly, this same man would "shoot" on Hogan off and on for the next 10+ years. To this day, there is still heat. Whom am I referring to?

6. WCW Slam Jam. What was it?

7. The lead babyface was MuscleMan. The lead heel was Terri-bull. They were the M.U.S.C.L.E. Things: Millions of Unusual Small Creatures Lurking Everywhere. They were tiny plastic toys, and I've got a box full of them in my closet, along with several issues of magazines I wrote in the 6th grade detailing this fantasy promotion of mine that I got to "book." The MUSCLE Thing toys were what color?

8. True or False: There was once a product put out by the WWF called the Hulkamania Workout Set.

9. The WWF (wisely) never marketed the cologne of "The Model" Rick Martel. What was Martel's cologne called?

10. WWE writer Michael Seitz was a true pioneer in mixing music and wrestling when he wrestled as Michael Hayes in the legendary Fabulous Freebirds. They had an album, with the 'hit' single "Badstreet USA." I loved that song. According to the lyrics, what city and state was Badstreet located in? Hint: It's in the chorus.

[Matt Ward]

Alright here is my turn to stump maybon our APW version of Howard Finkel.

001. Who where the original members of the road warriors tag team.?

002. What wrestler play the character Super Shradder in Teenage Mutant Nigja Titles 2?

003. Name an arena that World Wrestling Entertainment has been that World Championship Wrestling has not been to?

004. In what year did the Royal Rumble had the stipulation where the winner became the number one contender for the WWF championship?

[brandenharvey]

Here's the answers to mine. After you answer Ward's easy questions, I'll come up with some more.

-The WBF supplement was Icopro. I always find it funny when you watch wrestling shows like ECW and TNA (on FSN) and the only commercials are for products put out by the wrestling promotion. That's a sign that advertisers want nothing to do with you. So guess what all the WBF commercials were for? Icopro.

-The WWF dessert product was ice cream bars. I'm told they still sell them in ice cream trucks today. I just hope they're new and haven't been sitting there frozen for 18 years.

-Strike Force "Girls in Cars"
Koko B. Ware "Piledriver"
Honky Tonk Man "Honky Tonk Man"
Demolition "Demolition"
Slick "Jive Soul Bro"
Hillbilly Jim "Waking Up Alone"
Young Stallions "Crank it Up"
Vince McMahon "Stand Back"
'Mean' Gene Okerlund "Rock n' Roll Hoochie Koo"
The WWF Stars "If You Only Knew"

-IWA is/was the Imaginary Wrestling Association. They are STILL around, believe it or not.

-Randy Savage was the one who made shoot comments on Hogan on Radio WWF.

-WCW Slam Jam was an album of WCW entrance music from 1992. I'm sorry, it was horrid. Rick Steamboat's song talked about him being a family man who loved his wife and kids. Dustin Rhodes' song was even worse. Sting's was OK. The Freebirds? The man who wrote "Badstreet USA" came up with that??

-The MUSCLE Things were pink/flesh colored. They had other colors later on.

-True, the Hulkamania Workout Set existed.

-Rick Martel's cologne was called Arrogance.

-Badstreet was in Atlanta, G-A. Baddest street in the whole USA. I guess Hayes never walked through downtown Oakland.

[brandenharvey]

1. True or False: Ric Flair was raised by his natural, biological parents.

2. Young Ric Flair was not sharp in school. You could say that makes him even more cool than he already is. Being a school flunkie is only cool if you make a great living doing something else, like a rock star. Otherwise it's pathetic. So yes, that makes Ric Flair cool. It got so bad that Ric was sent to a special school that would whip him into shape. All it did was make him sleep with even more women than he already was. Which of the following describes Ric's upbringing in Minnesota:

~~~A. Poor and destitute.
~~~B. Mega rich. We're talking silver spoons here.
~~~C. Higher than middle class, but definitely not super rich.

3. The man largely responsible for making sure Flair never quit wrestling is the same man who is almost universally disliked in wrestling: Verne Gagne. After Flair left the AWA, Verne wanted him to sign a contract that would give Verne a significant percentage of his earnings for the rest of his career. The naive, gullible Flair almost signed it, but thankfully was warned against it. What territory did Flair work in after the AWA? This is not a trick question. It's basically the territory he first made his name in during the mid and late 1970s. If you don't know the territory's name, then just name a state it regularly ran shows in.

4. A very famous angle is when Ric Flair was in the ring with models, and Rick Steamboat came out and beat him up, ripping Flair's suit to shreds. It worked well enough in the 70s that they tried it again in 1989. In the 1970s angle, what is notable about one of the models (Bonnie) Flair was with? Specifically, it's notable because this fact is somehow related to Rick Steamboat? What does one of those blond models have to do with Steamboat?

5. The 4 Horsemen, and their exploits outside the ring, are legendary. What wrestler (also a Horseman) came up with the name "The 4 Horsemen?"

6. Which one of these little known facts is NOT true?

~~~A. Ric Flair was the paperboy for "Mad Dog" Vachon when he was a kid
~~~B. Flair's father (a doctor) "delivered" several notable babies, including former WCW employee Gary Juster
~~~C. Flair's roommate in college was Bill Goldberg's older brother
~~~D. Flair is 100% Native American
~~~E. Flair (while breaking into the business) once went on a trip to Japan with Dusty Rhodes and Dick Murdock in which he basically carried their bags and acted like their lackey
~~~F. Flair's opening line to his future wife at a bar was, "Love of my life!"
~~~G. When Flair invited his parents to his first NWA title win in 1981, the business was so "protected" at the time that he couldn't even tell them that he was winning the title that night
~~~H. Flair once rode on a train for 5 hours with former President George Bush Sr, talking about politics and sports.

7. When Flair won the WWF title at the 1992 Royal Rumble, what number did he draw in the Rumble? Hint: He was one of the first 5 entrants. Was he the first, second, third, fourth, or fifth?

8. When Flair left for WCW in 1993, he first had to lose a "loser leaves WWF" match on Raw. And he did just that. Whom did he lose to?

9. "Meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeene, whooooooooooo, by God, Gene!!" "Woman, won't ya marry me!" Flair's interviews in the Nitro glory days were tremendous, even though the company still treated him poorly. One of the best was Flair's return to Greenville, SC in the Fall of 1998, to one of the biggest pops of all time. Dressed in a tuxedo, it was Flair's return to WCW after many months. Why was he gone for so many months?

10. On the Ultimate Ric Flair Collection DVD set, there's footage of Flair after a Raw match in Greenville, SC. To Ric's surprise, the WWE staff backstage all came to the ring and threw a party for him. Ric was shocked and started crying like a baby. This never aired on Raw. To Ric, it really was a victory for him because he had never been treated with such respect in his entire career with guys like Jim Herd, Eric Bischoff, and Dusty Rhodes always trying to humiliate him. Whom did Flair wrestle in that Greenville match? Hint: Read the end of Flair's book for the answer.

[Matt Ward]

I have stumped Maybon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

001: The Original Road Warriors was Paull Ellering Jake The Snake Roberts and Hawk and Animal.

002: The Anwser is Kevin Nash

003: Yes Madison Square Garden

004: 1993 was the when the rumble started this stipulation.

001: The Original Road Warriors was Paull Ellering Jake The Snake Roberts and Hawk and Animal.

To be fair, you didn't. The Road Warriors tag team was Hawk and Animal...

The Road Warriors were a professional wrestling tag team originally composed of Michael "Hawk" Hegstrand and Joseph "Animal" Laurinaitis, though other members were added later on in their career.

Jake Roberts and Ellering were part of the Legion of Doom stable, but not the Road Warriors tag team.

I guess it all depends how the question was worded.

["The Madman" Ebon]

Ric Flair was adopted

C.

Mid-Atlantic, Jim Crockett, NWA, Charlotte, NC does that answer it?

Bonnie I believe would later become Ricky's wife

Arn Anderson came up with it

D?

third

Mr. Perfect

Easy E was suing him

I don't remember and the book in a box up in my attic somewhere, I would guess Triple H, HBK, Cena, Jericho, or Carlito.

[Reaver]

the LEGION OF DOOM was a group not only consisting of the road warriors hawk and animal, but also jake roberts, the spoiler, king kong bundy, buzz sawyer and paul ellering (manager) when they merged the territories together in the early 80's. (helps to have the road warriors dvd that i watch religiously

[brandenharvey]

-False, Flair was NOT raised by his biological parents. He was adopted.

-Flair grew up higher than middle class, but definitely not super rich.

-After the AWA, Flair headed to Mid-Atlantic.

-The model in that angle, Bonnie, eventually married Rick Steamboat. For awhile, there was heat between Flair and Bonnie because of how she butted into Steamboat's business affairs in 1989. I wonder if there is still heat between the two.

-Arn Anderson came up with the 4 Horsemen name.

-Of the "facts" listed, the only one that was NOT true was that Flair is 100% Native American.

-At the '92 Rumble, Flair drew #3.

-Flair lost his "loser leaves WWE" match to Curt Hennig.

-Flair was gone for so many months in 1998 because he was in a lawsuit with WCW over a date he missed that he claims he requested off months in advance.

-Flair's match in Greenville was against HHH.

Seeing as I've stumped Ebon a few times and I'm getting bored of this game, I'm done. Anyone else in APW is welcome to continue, though.

Some right. Some not. Though please double check me, as I concocted the list in between working on my RP.

1. According to Lost in the Funhouse, Kaufman's favorite wrestlers were Buddy Rodgers and Chief Jay Strongbow.

2. Until very recently, Marvel comics owned the name Hulk Hogan. But in 2006, Terry Bollea acquired the rights to Hulk, Hulkamania, and the Hulkster.

3. Lol, I think they may have mentioned that. The nickname I was referring to was: Cory 'the Cory' Matthews.

4.Brad Garret was the voice of Huik Hogan in Hulk Hogan's Rock 'n' Wrestling.

5. Roddy Piper - with 26 credited features, as per IMDB.

6. Randy Savage was in the 26th highest grossing film of all time. Spider-Man'

7.Yes, Albano and Hoskins both played Mario Mario in separate incarnations of the Mario Bros.

8. Arquette pinned Bischoff in a tag match where the World title was on the line. He lost the title when DDP screwed him, to help Jeff Jarrett win the title.

9. I was looking for the Fabulous Freebirds. Knuckles was more thorough than even I expected. Bonus points...

and

10. The Guinness Book of World Records for the highest salary for an actor for his first top billing belongs to The Rock, Dwayne Johnson. Which he won for his film, 'The Scorpion King.'

Bonus question.

The Scorpion King became the best-opening (gross-wise) film to ever come out in April. Not necessarily a great feat, unless you know which film in beat for that accolade. Which film was it?

um....the matrix? i dont remember if it came out the same time or not

["The Madman" Ebon]

CATEGORY: Film/T.V. crossovers


1. In my personal opinion, one of wrestling's greatest-ever heels, is Andy Kaufman. Who was Kaufman's self-professed favorite wrestler?

Buddy Rogers

2. Who owns the trademark to the name Hulk Hogan?

I think he bought the trademark back recently but Marvel used to own it

3. In an episode of Boy Meets World, featuring Big Van Vader, main character, Cory Mathews, is forced to wrestle a match. What was his wrestling ‘nickname’?

i remember the episode not the name :/

4. The Hulkster owes at least some of his crossover success to ‘Everybody Loves Raymond’ star, Brad Garret. Why?

He was the voice of Hogan on the cartoon

Roddy Piper?

6. Which wrestler can boast the highest box office gross for a film they were a part of?

The Rock?

7. Which fictional role do Capt. Lou Albano, and actor, Bob Hoskins, have in common?

8. As we all unfortunately remember, David Arquette is a former WCW World heavyweight champion. Who did he pin to win the title? And who pinned him when he lost it?

Eric Bischoff in a tag match, Jarrett won in the Triple Cage Match, still waiting for that in TNA.

9. Sci-fi classic, ‘the Highlander’ had an opening sequence which featured which team of professional wrestlers?
