I just came across this when looking up the Ultimate Warrior: "Vibraphone Master" Terry Gibbs?

Until the cases were split, Edge was involved in every MitB cash-in over 5 years. 2005/6- Won, Cashed-in on Cena. 2006- Was the deciding factor in RVD's cash-in. 2007- Won case from Kennedy, cashed-in. 2008- Punk cashed-in on him. 2009- Hardy beats Edge for title, only to lose 2 minutes later to Punk. 2010- Edge decks Jericho, leading to Jack Swagger's cash-in on Y2J. And this is why he is the only true Mr. Money in the Bank.

Big Show's hair changed considerably in the time between his first 3 wwe/world title reigns. He went from long hair when he first won the WWF title in 1999, to short hair when he won in 2002, to bald when he won in 2010.

By his logic, The Rock is only a part time African American Not true. there's a difference between half a bowl of chocolate ice cream and a full bowl. That's my point. It's essentially a semantics argument as someone else said. He is the first half black wwe champion though. Your comparison lacks substance. Using what you said "half a bowl of chocolate ice cream" implies that there is NOTHING ELSE in the bowl, when in Rock's case there is. There's coffee ice cream. So what we have is a half bowl of coffee ice cream and a half bowl of chocolate ice cream. Therefore, it's not a full bowl of chocolate ice cream. Therefore, he is not the first black/African-American WWE Champion. Besides that, with how WWE likes to promote their achievements, don't you think they would have like TOTALLY pimped it out if he really was the first? They pimped Sheamus' first Irish Born WWE champion. Why not African American? So, yeah...he's not.

They both have a black father, only difference is one has a white mother and the other a samoan mother. It seems that people like to change the definition to suit their argument.

Rock plays up his Samoan heritage all the time. Meanwhile, I don't see Obama's left booby covered in ancient white people tattoos.
I do not deny Rock is the first Black WWE Champion, but he is half-black and my fact was that there has never been a, for lack of a better term (that I can think of), fully-black WWE Champion.

If people look like a black guy they'll be called black, that's really about it.
Of course it has little to do with heritage. There's a million guys walking on the street that you'd look at and say "That's a black guy" that have the same wild mix of ethnicities that most caucasians do.

Not to rain on anybody's parade or anything but can we keep the debates about the Rock's heritage to another thread? I think most people would prefer if this just stuck to weird facts!

Despite being the face in the feud with Macho Man, the feud began when Warrior said no to a perfectly reasonable request for a title shot for Savage by a calm and polite Sensational Sherri, who even seemed to be willing to offer Warrior sexual favours in exchange for him saying yes.

John Cena defeated Jesus at Armageddon. He also recovered from "stab wounds" in like two weeks, by said Jesus. Maybe it was the spear of destiny?

John Cena defeated Jesus at Armageddon. He didn't just defeat him. It was a pro-longed squash. I think He-Zeus made one offensive move. Afterwards it was all Cena for ten minutes.

According to WWE, the Fabulous Moolah's first women's title reign lasted 10,170 days, or 27 years. She went on to win the title again in later life, and I mean REALLY later life, at age 76, holding the title for 8 days.

It's not from Wrestletaint.gov, this story stems from the pre-internet form of Wrestletaint.gov called the Wrestletaint 976 hotline. Horny, available operators were standing by to talk dirty to callers by offering them wrestling news and rumors in the most sultry, seductive way possible. Wrestletaint.gov filed a lawsuit against Mean Gene Okerlund when it turned out he was frequenting the hotline stealing news stories for his own hotline. The case was thrown out when Ted Turner's totally uncool attorneys got involved and starting smearing the Wrestletaint.gov hotline by saying that 92% of the callers were under the age of 18 (which was 'technically' true) which meant that the hotline was basically a breeding ground for perverts like Mean Gene Okerlund. In fact, during the deposition, anytime the phrase 'here's a scoop' would be said, Okerlund would get aroused and have to excuse himself from the conference room. What else can fit in Abdullah the Butchers forehead scars? Call now!"

Roddy Piper has never wrestled at SummerSlam. Building on that Gorilla Monsoon and Jesse Ventura called at least one or more of the big four PPV`s (IE: WrestleMania, Royal Rumble, Survivor Series and Summerslam) together EXCEPT for Summerslam. Summerslam 1988: Jesse was in the main event and Gorilla called the PPV with "Superstar" Billy Graham. Summerslam 1989: Gorilla was on leave and Jesse called the event with Tony Schivone. Summerslam 1990: Jess left the company by that point in time, and would never work for Vince full time again.
