WM1 trivia

[Dandy]

No, it wasn't a major title from the Big 3.  I'm not givin' that one away.  Think shitty indies (but not as big as say, XPW).

I thought Bundy won the NWA Title around 2000?

[UseTheSledgehammerUh]

Well how about that.

 

The video game guy is Mr. T. The referee is not.

[UseTheSledgehammerUh]

1st title guy is NOT Bundy, as Bundy had been winning titles as early as '82, and the NWA Tag Belts in 84.

[landy1987]

I would guess #9 is actually Nikolai Volkoff

[UseTheSledgehammerUh]

Actually, though T did appear in the SNES game "Earthbound", it was rather obscure. T wrestled at WM, and Starrcade, among others, in diff. decades, and was a ref...

Okay.

[UseTheSledgehammerUh]

#9 is indeed Volkoff.

[Dandy]

Yeah, I had Mr. T as the ref guy. He is the only person it could be. Me thinks that the trivia guy messed up on more than one occasion!!!

[UseTheSledgehammerUh]

SD Jones stole "Special Delivery" from the NFL's Edgar Jones, 1940s Cleveland Browns player.

[JoeDirt]

The famous family guy has to be Sammartino.

 

The women should be easy to figure out...questions that don't say "he" in them.

[UseTheSledgehammerUh]

Odd, two FEMALES left...and only one question left that doesn't use "he" or "his"

[JoeDirt]

And since we're on page 2, the questions...

 

The questions are:

 

1.) Despite one Wrestlemania competitor having been in the business since 1981, he did not win his first career championship until 2000. Name the wrestler in question.

 

2.) As everybody knows, the first Wrestlemania was held in Madison Square Garden. However, one wrestler on the card was a part of another MSG first, as he won the first battle royale in the arena. Who was that superstar?

 

3.) This wrestler had an undercard match on the first 'Mania, and he was also the first man to wrestle Kerry Von Erich in a WWF ring. Name him.

 

4.) If you don't count the Wrestlemania X-7 gimmick battle royale, one of the competitors at WMI had the longest sabbatical between in-ring appearances on the big show. Who is it?

 

5.) Who was the only man on Wrestlemania I that regularly competed in the WWF, WCW, and ECW at different points in his career?

 

6.) Though this individual wrestled in two different decades, he actually made more appearances in the world of sports entertainment as a referee. Who's the zebra?

 

7.) Only Arn Anderson can claim consecutive victories over one of the men who appeared at WM. Which competitor is incredibly good at getting his win back?

 

8.) This gentleman stole his nickname from a 1940's (American) football star. Who's the copycat?

 

9.) With managers being more common in the Wrestlemania era than they are today, several wrestlers on the show had multiple corner men throughout their careers. Of the guys on the show, who was managed by Lou Albano, Freddy Blassie, Slick, and Ted DiBiase at various points in his career?

 

10.) Wrestling video games are commonplace these days. However, one Wrestlemania alum had his likeness appropriated for a character in a non-wrestling game. Who would that be?

 

11.) After taking several years away from the ring, this Wrestlemania competitor made a one-night return in 2000 and pinned Jeff Jarrett on a prime time wrestling broadcast. Who da man?

 

12.) Not a lot of people who appeared on Wrestlemania are still active in the ring unless they can be sure that they're going to collect a big payday. However, one of the WM alums made appearances for the short-lived indy promotion Major League Wrestling. What is that individual's name?

 

13.) Years before Billy Gunn did the same thing, one Wrestlemania competitor made the transition from rodeo performer to WWF superstar. Who?

 

14.) This individual was an aspiring boxer but broke his hand in a street fight and had to pursue other employment. Who am I talking about?

 

15.) Though his in-ring career was over before the end of the 80's, this wrestler's legacy lived on through training young competitors, one of whom would have a stint in Raven's Flock/Nest. Who is the trainer?

 

16.) After his career was essentially over in the United States, this wrestler moved to Japan and managed to win the prestigious Real World Tag Tournament with another gaijin. To whom am I referring?

 

17.) Despite being part of a famous wrestling family, this man actually pretended to be part of a different wrestling family when he first broke in to the business. Who dat?

 

18.) Though he was involved in one of the biggest singles angles in wrestling history, this Wrestlemania competitor gained more titles as a tag team wrestler. Who is this man, who teamed with Dick Slater, Jimmy Snuka, and B. Brian Blair at different points in his career?

 

19.) What Wrestlemania competitor used music by funkmaster George Clinton for entrances during one phase of his career?

 

20.) This individual had a unique start in the wrestling business, as he met famous referee Dick Woehrle through his brother, who was the phys. ed. teacher of Dick's son. Who was this well-connected superstar?

 

21.) Before the internet came around, Pro Wrestling Illustrated was considered the end all and be all of wrestling coverage by many. What WM combatant won PWI's Rookie of the Year award, Tag Team of the Year award, and two Match of the Year awards?

 

22.) The Ultimate Warrior got a push that was supposed to go to this Wrestlemania competitor, and, oddly enough, the two wound up teaming together later in their careers. Who is this man?

[Dandy]

Von Erich beat Buddy Rose in his WWF debut.

[UseTheSledgehammerUh]

Okay, I give.

 

DAVID SAMMARTINO, who debuted in 1981 (PWI ROOKIE OF THE YEAR!), won his first ever title in 2000, the NY State Wrestling Federation Title

[UseTheSledgehammerUh]

#2 is the Iron Sheik, who won the WWF's first MSG battle royal, simultaneously dropkicking two men out.

[UseTheSledgehammerUh]

Wendi Ritchter was the cowgirl.

 

BTW, did you know she's married to WWE Spanish announce team member Hugo Savinovich?

 

MADE DE DIOS!

[JoeDirt]

So who's the guy from the famous family?

 

Who's the ECW guy?

 

If Valentine is 18, what's the huge angle he was in?

 

Were one of those women in MLW? I can't see it, but that question doesn't have "he" in it.

 

Also, who's left? We can figure out where the guy messed up with the two Windham answers.

[Dandy]

Are there any problems with my list? Tell me so I can fix them......

[UseTheSledgehammerUh]

Junkyard Dog worked WCW and WWE, made a "legends" appearence at ECW. Did NOT work.

[UseTheSledgehammerUh]

Orndorff is the "better with tag partners" guy. #18

[UseTheSledgehammerUh]

I hate Leilani Kai.

[UseTheSledgehammerUh]

Think I got the ECW guy, gimme a sec

[JoeDirt]

Are there any problems with my list?  Tell me so I can fix them......

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

I think Sledge said #5 was JYD.

[UseTheSledgehammerUh]

THE ECW MAN HAS BEEN OUTED

[JoeDirt]

THE ECW MAN HAS BEEN OUTED

Matt Borne?

 

Yep, I checked and it's Borne.

[UseTheSledgehammerUh]

Dudes, the MLW guy is Windham. Or he messed up.

[Dandy]

Valentine is the famous family guy then. His dad was Johnny Valentine.

[JoeDirt]

Valentine is the famous family guy then.  His dad was Johnny Valentine.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

You should post a final list. The guy messed up and had Windham in their twice, unless Lelani Kai was in MLW.

 

I giess #20 is Andre then?

[Dandy]

I searched most of the competitors' profiles at obsessedwithwrestling.com, and Kai was not in MLW unless it was never reported.
