Guest bravesfan Report post Posted April 8, 2003 Might be a bit vague, but try anyway: What do Sgt. Slaughter, Ric Flair, Kevin Nash, Sid Vicious and Shawn Michaels have in common with each other? (HINT: think World titles and Wrestlemania) They've all lost matches to world champions at Wrestlemania Incorrect. I'll leave the question up here for a bit, so hopefully someone may answer it. Again, it deals with Wrestlemania and title REIGNS. Think about the uniqueness of each of their reigns, and what had happened "in the past" at Wrestlemania.

Guest Steve J. Rogers Report post Posted April 8, 2003 Taking a cue from the Bundy/DiBiase/Luger WM question: 1. Name ALL the men whom have wrestled for the WWF/WWE title at WWF/WWE PPVS (note thats for PPVS that aired in the US) whom have never held the strap ever during their careers, and list how many times they have wrestled for the titles. (and yes the RR match from 92 counts towards this list) 2. Also, how many occurances have there been of "rematches" for the title, and that includes the same two guys involved in tag matches (if the title was on the line) multiple guys in the match, and the 92 RR match Good luck with THAT research Steve Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also, Booker and Steiner do not count as neither ever fought for the actual WWF/WWE title on a PPV, I am not counting HHH's "Raw World Big Gold Belt" title as an official "WWE World Heavyweight Championship" belt (though if you want to get semantical you could count it as a continuiation of WCW's World Heavyweight Championship line as Bischoff stated that its the same "World" title that Vince rechristened Rock's WCW championship after Survivor Series 2001) And here is a bonus off shoot of the "rematches" How many times have two people fought in IC title matches on PPVs gone on to face off for the Heavyweight title on PPV (same stips apply as the rematches question) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest WrestlingDeacon Report post Posted April 8, 2003 Here are some questions: 2) What was the name of Johnny B. Badd's corner man at the first Uncensored? 7) At the first WCW All-Nighter, who gave Gordon Solie a ride to Tony Schiavone's house after he went out for pizza? 8) How many prime time "The Main Events" were there on NBC? And for the three of mine not answered: 2) Roc Finnegan 7) Ric Flair (because Heenan was trying to call him all night to come get him and Solie talked him out of it) 8) 5 -There were two in 1990.

Guest WrestlingDeacon Report post Posted April 8, 2003 To answer Bravefan's question from way back when, all those people lost the WWF title in their matches... Nash didn't, he beat Michaels at 11. Like I said before it has to have something to do with the fact that each of them only went into one Wrestlemania as the champion, but I don't know specifically what he's looking for.

Guest bravesfan Report post Posted April 8, 2003 Read the question again... Nope. For another hint: Sgt. Slaughter - Wrestlemania 7. Ric Flair - WM 8. Kevin Nash - WM 11. Sid Vicious - WM 13. Shawn Michaels - WM 14. Obviously, they were the world champions going into the show. What makes their reigns, compared to their "past history at Wrestlemania", so unique and COMMON BETWEEN EACH OTHER? You don't need a PWI Almanac for this.

As long as you know the past appearances of each of these 5 wrestlers at Wrestlemania, you'll be able to answer this question. Lets see, it can't be anything in regards to ME, and Nash won so you can't say they all lost those matches... Slaghter, Flair and Nash were still in their first reigns (only for Sarge and Nash) Sid's second and HBK's third Slaughter, Flair won it at RR, Shawn at Survivor Series, Nash shortly after Survivor Series and Sid in Feb so it can't be that... Bret is connected in that Sid, and Shawn beat him for the title and he ended reigns for Flair and Nash but not connected to Slaughter Lets try this way, Hogan lost to UW a year before facing Slaughter and Savage lost to UW a year before defeating Flair. Nash didn't wrestle at WMX but Shawn lost the year earlier, ditto with Austin before facing Shawn at WMXIV, but Sid throws a wrench into that as Taker wins at EVERY Mania he's been at (I believe it was against Kama the year before) Hmmm....
