Good one, Siren! Nicely done!
I thought Lance was of the same ilk - dead serious on screen, wise-ass off screen. That's how it is if his website's any indicator.

1) I believe that goes to Randy Orton, that is if you mean WWE wise.
2) For some reason, I want to say the IC title.
3) I believe it to be Sean Mooney.
Hope those are correct and answer your questions.

Well I screwed up the Benoit question and was late correcting it..
technically Lou Thesz is the youngest champ since you can say that any main title for a promotion can be considered the World title
Chris Benoit actually won the Light Heavyweight title back when he was the Pegasus Kid...however WWE doesn't acknowledge this
And Paul Bearer's real name...alot of people think it's Percy Pringle but it's William Moody
I tried to make the questions tricky and those are the best I came up with..oh well

Actually, I have read interviews with Val where he says he is a complete Libertarian. But what you said is still somewhat true, since Libertarianism is often considered to be even further to the right than conservatism. In my neighborhood there is a Libertarian headquarters located directly next door to a head shop. I find it funny that ultra conservatives are trying to save the world while only 10 feet away people are buying bongs shaped like wizards.

Barry Windham's father, Blackjack Mulligan, served time for counterfeiting.
Cactus Jack and Terry Funk were originally scheduled to face the New Age Outlaws in a "Barbed Wire Match" at WrestleMania XIV, but PPV executives objected them to do so, hence the Dumpster Match.
Back when the ECW/WWF angle was going on, the WWF was going to hold a live Raw from the ECW Arena, despite it's size. This idea was nixed, however.
Back in the 1980's, Hulk Hogan's opponents were banned from mentioning his receding hair line in interviews.
When Shawn Michaels was attacked outside of a nightclub by approximately 10 "thugs" (actually it was by a marine group), Shawn was accompanied by Davey Boy Smith and Sean Waltman (X-Pac). Shawn tried to be the brave one and he ended up suffering for it.
Hulk Hogan forced Vince McMahon to give him the WWF Title at the end of WrestleMania IX by threatening to no-show his tag team match earlier on the show with Brutus Beefcake against I.R.S. & Ted Dibiase.
Apparently feeling he had nothing to lose, Sid Vicious double-crossed Vince McMahon by kicking out of Hulk Hogan's leg drop at WrestleMania VIII. Sid had been caught cheating on a drug test a few weeks earlier and was going to be suspended. Sid's manager, Harvey Wippleman (who is said to have supplied Sid with the false urine sample that WWF official Dave Hebner found Sid carrying in a vile) reacted quickly, jumping into the ring and getting his man disqualified before all hell broke loose.

All three were fired from WCW in short order, and Dustin showed up in the WWF not long after.

They were "Dizzy" Ed Boulder, Brutus Beefcake, Brutus "The Barber" Beefcake, Furface, Brother Bruti, The Butcher, The Man with No Name, The Man With No Face, The Zodiac Man, The Clipmaster, the Booty Man and most recently the "Disciple".
Vader was on a Kuwaiti talk show in April of 1997, and when host Bassam Al Otham asked whether or not wrestling was fake, Vader essentially lost control and attacked the host. He was detained in Kuwait briefly following the incident, then was allowed to return to the US pending trial. The end result was a whopping $200 US fine and a proverbial smack on the wrist.
Fonzie, the manager of champions, and of RVD and Sabu and former ECW referee, was a ref in the WWF. His most memorable event would be at Wrestlemania IX when he came down to say their were two "doinks" in his match vs Crush. The ref looked under the ring and found no other Doink and Fonzie looked stupid.
Steve Blackman has one of the most successful Wrestling/Karate schools in the US. Too bad it couldn't do anything for his career.
About two weeks before Summerslam 90, Beefcake and B. Brian Blair were parasailing, and an accident caused Blair to go spinning out of control and hit Beefcake in the face with his knees. Beefcake's entire face was shattered, and it ruined his career. His entire face had to be surgically reconstructed almost from scratch, and he didn't fully recover until 1993.
