The Nerd Posted March 9, 2017 Report Share Posted March 9, 2017 TIL that in 1997 Shawn refused to lose and beat Bulldog, who had dedicated the match to his dying sister, for the European Title only to then 'hand' it to HHH who then 'lost' it to Owen except it was Goldust dressed as Triple H. Stay classy kilq. I still don't think Shawn was wrong for that. But I'm a Shawn mark...soo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lil' Kazu Posted March 9, 2017 Report Share Posted March 9, 2017 Why? So, Google Trends is pretty cool. TIL that since 2004 the term 'Wrestling' has clearly been dropping in popularity (not surprising) and the lowest point ever was in June 2016. And NJPW hit it's peak in January 2017, nice!

MikeM Posted March 10, 2017 Report Share Posted March 10, 2017 Authors of Pain got their name from "Occom's Razor" Still think the team got their name from Blofeld's quote in "SPECTRE". I need to watch that movie again to see if I find it as boring as I did the first time. Worst Blofeld ever. Well he was never going to be Donald Pleasence, was he?

ArmVD Posted March 10, 2017 Report Share Posted March 10, 2017 TIL that Dolph Ziggler hooked up with Sunny. Who hasn't, though? Good point. She's almost as bad as Missy Hyatt. She's almost as bad as Dolph Ziggler. TIL the WWE has free language courses for wrestlers and they can take as many as they want. I would abuse the *Censored* out of that. Is that how Cena learned Mandarin? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lil' Kazu Posted March 12, 2017 Report Share Posted March 12, 2017 TIL Jake Roberts didn't really invent the DDT (kinda suspected it, anyways) and that the story of him creating it through botching a move is probably BS too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crackalicious Posted March 12, 2017 Report Share Posted March 12, 2017 TIL that Shawn Michaels called Bret Hart the grand wizard and the Hart Foundation the KKK on TV. Didn't realized how far the race war went with the Nation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeM Posted March 12, 2017 Report Share Posted March 12, 2017 Oh. That's weird. TIL Bret Hart has a black wife. So did I. TIL Bret Hart wanted to end his rematch with HBK at WM13 by pretending to break Shawn's ankle and have him "tap like a bitch" to set up his heel turn. Apparently he'd then stand over Shawn and scream "f*ck you" before being hauled out of the ring by Shamrock. No wonder Shawn "lost his smile".

BestInTheWorld614 Posted March 12, 2017 Report Share Posted March 12, 2017 Yeah DX vandalized The Nation's locker room and blamed the Hart Foundation. It was an awesome concept at the time. You could never do that today in WWE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could never do that today in WWE I remember watching that episode of RAW and realizing something was happening with wrestling as a whole at that point. I always saw Stone Cold or HHH more of the KKK type though, not Bret lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
