Trivia

Recommended Posts

Guest WrestlingDeacon

Let's clear up the ones I posted.

 

1) Aboard what naval ship did the Stars and Stripes Challenge to body slam Yokozuna take place in 1993?

 

The USS Intrepid is correct.

 

3) What is the WWF link between Tony Atlas and Shane Douglas?

 

That they both made their WWF ppv debuts at RR '91 is correct. I was also thinking that it was the only time both men competed in a royal rumble, but Douglas might have during his Dean Douglas period, have to look it up.

 

5) What song did the AWA ripoff for their "Wrestle Rock Rumble?"

 

It was the Super Bowl Shuffle, correct.

 

6) What locale did the first WCW All-Nighter take place?

 

It was the supposed home of Tony Shiavone, correct.

 

7) Who was the War Machine when JJ Dillon had to bow out of a War Games match?

 

Big Bubba Rogers is correct.

 

9) What was the name of the stable that gave the wrestling world both Jim "Warrior" Hellwig and Steve "Sting" Borden.

 

Power Team USA is correct.

 

4) What was the last match in AWA history (when it folded under Verne Gagne) and who won it?

 

Partially correct. The match was won by Jake "Milkman" Milliman, but it was not a battle royale.

 

Other questions still up for grabs include:

 

2) Who has been reported to have been Frank Sinatra's favorite wrestler after seeing him on television in England?

 

8) Who trained Michael Jones, aka Virgil, to be a wrestler?

 

10) Who did the Varsity Club choke out on an episode of NWA Saturday Night with a coat hanger?

 

11) Who did Andre the Giant play cribbage in the nude with to freak out backstage visitors to WWF events?

 

Precious was not the one choked out. It was an active wrestler.

I put this one in the WWE Trivia forum but I guess it belongs here. Plus no one gave it a shot there :(

 

Here's a pretty cool trivia question:

 

These three men have done something that no one else has done. What?

 

King Kong Bundy

Million Dollar Man Ted DiBiase

Lex Luger

King Kong Bundy

Million Dollar Man Ted DiBiase

Lex Luger

let's see ... what do they have in common ... all three lost world title matches at WrestleMania and went on to form tag teams afterwards ... all three have defeated Hogan somehow or another during their career ... ?

They have done that but others have done it too. But your first suggestions is up the right alley.

Hmmm ... they were all expected by many to become the new champion? I know Dibiase and Luger were rumored to originally win their matches, I doubt the same holds true for Bundy.

1. Pat Patterson? He used to wrestle on the west coast.

 

2. Owen Hart?

 

4. Ric Flair? He was feuding with Rude at the time. Funny thing, I have this match on tape, but never got to watching the very end of the tape (this match).

 

5. Because the Horsemen had previously beaten the Blondes for the titles.

 

Hopefully I at least got one right. :P

4 is correct. 5 is very close and it is partially true but there is just a little bit more to it than that.

 

As far as the TV debut in Seattle, you don't have to look back TOO far. It wasn't yesterday but it was well after the company went national (and global).

5. The Nasties promised The Blondes a title shot?

 

I'll say Terry Taylor debuted in Seattle.

4) It was Jake Milliman, but he went over Col. DeBeers in a frozen turkey on a pole match

 

2) Giant Haystack, aka Loch Ness. Sinatra was impressed with his size and strength

 

8) SD Jones. Virgil started in the indy's under the tribute name of Soul Train Jones

 

10) Nikita Koloff

 

11) Tito Santana

Of all the wrestlers who have ever competed in a WWF/E heavyweight title match at WrestleMania Bundy, DiBiase and Luger are the only ones that never held the title during their careers.

 

Not the most prestigious club to be a card carrying member in, right :P

4) My guess would be the Bushwackers (Sheepherders at that time)

 

5) By "Guiding Light" I assume you mean Lou Albano's nickname and not the soap opera. In that case, it would be Ivan Koloff.

2. Who did the Hart Foundation face in their last match as a team in the summer of 1991?

 

3. What do these men have in common: Bob Holly, Kwang, Giant Gonzalez, Vader

 

4. What two world champions did the Mountie feud with during his WWF stint?

 

5. What three heels teamed up in the house show circuit prior to Summer Slam 93 and would reform an alliance in the spring of 1995, this time as main event faces?

 

6. Who did Mr. Perfect last feud with prior to his departure from the WWF in 1993?

 

7. Name 2 major tag teams besides the Quebecars that Bret & Owen Hart faced in their brief time together as a tag team.

 

8. Name 3 major American championships that changed hands in Japan in recent years - in every case the upcoming title defense was mentioned several days prior on television.
