Here's one... When did Barry Windham & Mike Rotundo start referring to themselves collectively as The U.S. Express?

Sledgehammer: What about Volkoff & Sheik?

Well, I DID kinda like Todd's promo thing that he did for just before the Bret Hart/Shawn Michaels Iron Man Match.

I'm more concerned with the Asian woman watching WrestleMania IX and SMILING about it...plus how good her TV reception was on that little TV. Well hey... Wrestlemania is "a celebreation... of life" Who knew the key to world peace = Wrestlemania? Kind of makes you wish the terrorists would cough up enough money to order next years Mania Nah, Wrestling (especially WWE) would be lost with World Peace. They wouldn't have the ability to use Stereotypical Foreigners anymore.

Yeah, and how many commercial breaks in each? We had two fucking breaks in the main event last week. TWO! Yeah...it almost felt like watching an ECW show. ^^;

OK...the story behind the Rockers/Hart Foundation tag title match where the Rockers "won" the belts: The match WAS originally going to be shown on TV, because at the time Jim Neidhart was going to leave the company, and Bret Hart was going to be moved into the Intercontinental Division. So, they had the match, and had The Rockers win the tag team titles. However, before the match ever aired, Neidhart re-signed with the company, and the WWF decided to keep the belts on The Hart Foundation at least until WrestleMania. They never showed the match on TV...and since the ring rope broke during the match, they used that as an explanation for why the change didn't happen to those that saw the match live, saying that it was in the WWF Rule Book that if the ring rope breaks, the match should be stopped.

Amazing how they could take a gimmick that in it's first week was a WrestleCrap definition...and made the person behind it an attention getter in a match situation for this show. ...if they let Eugene win, will Eugene bust out the Regal Stretch again?

OK...here's a thought that I had after watching the opening video package for WrestleMania X-Seven again: If you could get any former wrestler/manager to do the voice for the opening montages for the PPV events, like Blassie did before he passed on, who would you get? Personally, I'd go with Jesse "The Body" Ventura. He seemed very comfortable in the role from "The Mania of WrestleMania", and his voice just has that feel about it that makes an event feel special. I'd personally love for Ventura to do an opening package for WrestleMania 21 or something. Any other ideas?

Actually, it was defended on the May 2nd edition of Sunday Night Heat, against Val Venis, IIRC. It just hasn't been defended ON RAW since February.

Who were Terry, Tyrell and Jade that Jesse Ventura referred to at the first 6 (or at least five of the first 6) WrestleManias? There was also a Jeremiah mentioned at 5, but not at 6. WHO WERE THEY?

Yeah...but that was at the PPV. This is the first time on the actual Raw show. Sorta like how HBK wrestled on PPVs before it, but his match with RVD back in November/December of 02 was his first match ON RAW in however many years.

One during the Piper/Hart IC title match. Heenan: I remember when I was champion, Monsoon. Monsoon: Champion of WHAT? Heenan: Of my neighborhood!

Brian Lawler vs. Dusty Rhodes, NWA-TNA 2003 [Yes, I am just kidding.]

Didn't see either mentioned here, so: Demolition ("Here comes the Ax, and here comes the Smasher!) and DANGUN! (used by Masato Tanaka) Also like Cactus Jack's WWF Theme for some reason.

The only real sad thing? The quote above... Just sad to me for some reason.

Did Steve Austin's in ring debut as The Ringmaster come at Royal Rumble 97, or did he have matches before then? I know he had a Raw Intro Segment where DiBiase gave him the Million Dollar Championship...but I'm not sure if he had any matches between those two periods.

Would you have Sherri with you for it as well or no?

Couple of moves I thought up. 1) The Compresser: Combination Dragon Sleeper, Knee into the back, leg pulled to body. 2) Figure Four Ankle-Lock: Do the figure Four, but take the foot of the straight leg and twist it into an ankle lock. 3) Shock Therapy: Double team move where one person does a Powerbomb and the other does a Reverse DDT at the same time. 4) A Stinger Splash, but as the person is going down from the splash, either a DDT or a reverse DDT, depending on the position the person is in at the time. 5) Any move off the top rope to the floor or onto the ring steps. By that, I mean moves like powerbombs, DDTs, and such.

HEY! What was that for?

I said it before and I'll say it again... It could have been Torrie Wilson. Or for that matter, Stephanie McMahon.

Slightly off topic...but there's one thing Stephanie did that I found kinda funny. One show, the camera opens up with her leaning on her desk, her rear right in the camera. She then turns around, and says "Now that I have your attention..." ...it was shortly before she announced Smackdown hired Mr. America. Anyone have a vid/.gif of it?

When's the last time The Rock did the Maivia Hurricane/Layin The Smack Down?

Double team move that I'd like to see be used: Shock Therapy (that's what I call it in an E-Fed): Powerbomb/Reverse DDT at the same time. (one guy does powerbomb, another does a reverse DDT at the same time)

Well let's see... DDT Reverse DDT Tornado DDT Evenflow DDT Implant DDT Running DDT Rock's old Spinning DDT Jumping DDT Top Rope DDT Reverse DDT on the knee Single Arm DDT Double Arm DDT... What others?
