Kerry Von Erich snapped off his recently surgically repaired foot while trying to walk across the room to get a cheeseburger.
There are only 5 grandslam champions and they're all still wrestling: Angle, Eddie, Triple H, Jericho and HBK.
Michaels is the only wrestler in WWE history to simultaneously hold the WWE European Championship and the WWF Championship.
While Kurt Angle won an Olympic gold medal with a badly injured neck, his neck was not broken. In WWE, Angle normally exaggerates the severity his injury, claming that he won his medal with "a broken freakin' neck!" According to the official rule book of the Olympic Games committee, no competitor will be authorized to participate in an event if seriously injured, indicating that Angle was not seriously enough injured to warrant exclusion from the event.
The Undertaker is the only wrestler to have pinned Kevin Nash (6 ft 10 in), Kane (6 ft 11 in), The Big Show (7 ft 2 in) and Giant Gonzales (7 ft 6 in), four of the tallest men in wrestling history.
His 1994 clone (the "fake Undertaker"), Brian Lee, was his best man at his wedding to Sara.
Hogan has appeared on the cover of Pro Wrestling Illustrated Magazine more times than any other wrestler (a total of 81 times, including the 25th Anniversary issue.)
RVD's theme song in WWE is "One of a Kind" by Breaking Point. He appears in the music video for the song, in which he loses his car to the band's lead singer, Brett Erickson, in a street race. At the end, he spin kicks the cars keys into his opponent's hands.
Benoit's lost tooth is usually credited to training or an accident early on in his wrestling career. This is not the case. In his younger days, Benoit would play-wrestle with his pet Rottweiler. One day, wrestling with his Rottweiler, Benoit was struck with the top of the Rottweiler's head beneath his chin and "out popped the tooth," as per Benoit's fathers words (see Disc 2, Hard Knocks DVD, click on the tooth icon in the second extras menu, it takes three right clicks to there).
WWE character Simon Dean is named after Dean Malenko's actual name, Dean Simon.
