The Smarks Wrestling Triviathon

[Guest kingkamala]

Alright here's the first question

 

1. Which former WWF IC champion did Who(Jim Neidhart) debut against?

[Guest Kahran Ramsus]

It was 1995, and Who was a heel, so it pretty much has to be a face.

 

I will go with Marty Jannetty.

[LaParkaYourCar 0]

was this person former IC champ at the time of the match with "Who" or is that in retrospect?

 

I'd say either Jannetty or Bob Holly

[Guest WrestlingDeacon]

I would say the two most viable choices are Owen Hart or Marty Jannetty. I'm pretty sure Santana was gone by '95.

 

Question, if someone gets it right do they in turn ask a question or do you just ask another one, kamala?

[EL DANDY~! 0]

I think it was Janetty...and that Janetty actually went over with the Fistdrop...

[Guest Kahran Ramsus]

Holly was never IC Champ, although he came close twice. He fought Jarrett to a no-contest in 1995, and the title was held up. Jarrett won the rematch to win his third IC title.

 

The other time was in 1997 when he beat IC Champ Owen Hart in a non-title match on RAW, then lost the rematch the next week when the title was on the line.

[Guest D'Lo White]

i'm gonna say Rikishi (Fatu)

[Guest kingkamala]

Once someone answers the question they go do ask another one and BTW Who debuted in September or October of 96 so it's not Janetty since he was a heel teaming up with the New Rockers.

[EL DANDY~! 0]

96, eh?

 

Hmmmmmmm...I think I'm going to say...Savio Vega.

[Guest bob_barron]

Savio never won the I-C title.

 

I say Billy Gunn

[Guest WrestlingDeacon]

Let me throw out two more names here that came into the WWE about the same time. Rocky Maivia and Marc Mero

[Guest TheRockIsTheEuropeanChampion]

Marc Mero came around earlier than that, if I'm remembering correctly. It was more like WrestleMania time for him. He won the IC title in September, though, if that's what you meant...

[LaParkaYourCar 0]

Yeah it was Mero. I remember the commentary on Who's first match.

[Guest WrestlingDeacon]

"around that time" means close to it, I knew he debuted earlier in the year. I'll think of a question as I wait on kamala for the official word.

[Guest kingkamala]

Yep it was Marc Mero it was the feature bout on Superstar, Actually I believe Marc Mero was IC champ during that match but I believe it was a non-title match. Mero won in 5 or 6 minutes after the Wild Thing.

 

Since no one's asked another question Here's another question from King Kamala. Which veteran beat Lance Storm for the US title at a WCW house show in his hometown in August of 2000?

[Guest bob_barron]

Terry Funk

[Guest areacode212]

Jeff Jarrett regained the Intercontinental title from Razor Ramon at a house show in Canada. Name the city where it took place. For bonus points, explain why did the WWF felt the need to do a title switch at that time (this is kinda hard).

[Guest bob_barron]

Quebec

 

They did the title switch as a way of saying thank you for their loyalty or something?

[Guest WrestlingDeacon]

I think it's still my go to ask a question here. Who did Bobby Heenan incorrectly believe was Tito Santana's sister at Wrestlemania 8? Bonus points if you peg how Bobby mispronounced her name.

[Guest bob_barron]

Reba McEntire

 

He called her Arriba

[Guest WrestlingDeacon]

Bob is just whipping ass on these.

 

Well Dunn made their WWF debut in a six man tag. Who did they face and who was there other tag partner that wound up doing the job?

[Guest Kahran Ramsus]

Well Dunn & Harvey Whippleman vs. LOD & Paul Ellering

[Guest bob_barron]

Hmmm- I don't think Well Dunn came in till 94 when the LOD and Paul were long gone

[Guest WrestlingDeacon]

Kahran is incorrect. Well Dunn debuted the summer of '93.

[Guest areacode212]

Quebec

 

They did the title switch as a way of saying thank you for their loyalty or something?

That was the province, but what city was it in?

 

Supposedly, they did the title switch as a favor/gift to Joanne Rougeau, who had just become the WWF's promoter in Quebec.

[Guest Kahran Ramsus]

Whoops! I was thinking of the 6 man tags that LOD was doing right before they left in 1992. It was Genius & The Beverlys, not Well Dunn.

 

Tatanka & The Steiners vs. Well Dunn & Blake Beverly

[Guest Kahran Ramsus]

The IC Title switch was in Montreal.

 

How did Mr. Fuji end up managing Demolition in 1987?

[Guest WrestlingDeacon]

Kahran is correct on his second attempt! Good job! Another question probably later.

[Guest Frankie Williams]

How did Mr. Fuji end up managing Demolition in 1987?

Johnny V was managing Demoliton and the Dream Team at the same time so he sold Demolitions contract to Fuji so he could concintrate on Valentine and Beefcake.

 

Who ORIGNALLY came up with the phrase Rooty Poo in wrestling?

[Guest Kahran Ramsus]

It was actually the NEW Dream Team, but close enough.
