I think I recognize almost everyone here but who is the one guy standing (unboxed) on the left and who is the guy with the question mark mask? I think the one on the left is Backlund, I know they made one of him. No clue on the question mark guy, but guessing he was one of the guys coming up with Tiger Mask around that same time or a Mascaras-era luchador. Since he doesn't have a package showing who he is, also pretty sure the balding figure between Abby and Masked Riddler is Dory Funk Jr. Yeah, the 'Charlie Brown' curl of hair is the giveaway on Dory Funk Jr. I wonder if the guy in the question mask is Dos Caras or Sicodelico?

Whoever it is, it almost has to be an A-list main eventer from somewhere. With the very ironic exception of Hogan, all of those guys were the absolute top guys at that time.

Far as I can tell, Raven is the only wrestler to get WWF/E, WCW, ECW and TNA figures made of him. Speaking of action figures, there was a line of action figures made in Japan by Popy that were released in 1981 (3 years before LJN's WWF and Remco's AWA lines) that included Andre, Hogan, Abdullah, Backlund and the Funks. The following year, the same company released many of the same wrestlers in another line (think M.U.S.C.L.E. or blind bag figurines) of superdeformed toys. Goddamn, those are awesome.

The last great Starrcade match featured Shannon Moore That is depressing. *** Ric Flair's first WCW title reign is not considered part of his 16 reigns by WWE. From wikipedia; So, as I understand it, Flair won the NWA title that night and then immediately vacated it to become the WCW World Heavyweight Champion? But then on the NWA title history page, it says Flair didn't vacate the NWA title until September that year (having won the WCW title in January 1991). Flair went on to win the NWA title again in 1993 at a WCW event and then vacated the title when WCW left the NWA and declared Flair the WCW International World Heavyweight Champion and lost it to Rick Rude. Flair won the vacant WCW title which had been vacated again by himself (although WWE does not recognize this) and then defeated WCW International Heavyweight Champion Sting to unify both belts and then in 2014 The Good Man banged his head against a brick wall trying to work all this out. I went the long way around of saying that Ric Flair's final WCW title reign, he was "awarded" the title by then champion Kevin Nash and lost it the same night to Jeff Jarrett. What a way to go out. EDIT: Here's a handy diagram which only raises more questions (the World Heavyweight title that was created in 2002 was not a splinter title of the Undisputed title, but a brand new title using the Big Gold Belt to represent it, as far as I'm aware) {Spoiler}

After Ken Shamrock's reign beginning on in 1998, it took until 2004 for someone to have an Intercontinental Title reign that had lasted over 100 days... Worded a little funny to make it seem a little longer

CM Punk winning the title in his hometown of Chicago at Money in the Bank 2011 is not a true statement. The Allstate Arena is in nearby Rosemont, IL.

To date, 2014 is the only year since his debut in which The Undertaker hasn't won a match.

John Cena has held the WWE Title longer than:
Andre The Giant The Rock Mick Foley Rey Mysterio Jr. Kane Edge Ric Flair Eddie Guerrero Shawn Michaels
combined
On the same note CM Punk has more than: Undertaker, Ric Flair, Jeff Hardy, Rob Van Dam and Batista (plus Kane, Mysterio, Andre)
**if you add their reigns in that order...RVD makes the combined # 420**

If I'm not mistaken, there have been mentions here about deceased wrestlers in past video games. Currently, the only video games where all the wrestlers in it are still alive are:
Royal Rumble (the Arcade/Dreamcast one) The DS port of Smackdown vs Raw 2008 (which contained a select 21 wrestlers who were in the main version of the game) The PS2/Wii port of Smackdown vs Raw 2011 (which didn't contain the DLC, thus British Bulldog wasn't in either of those 2 games)

Adam Pearce is top 10 in total days with the title, and Dan Severn is top 5. Both beat out names like Jack Brisco, Buddy Rogers, Terry Funk, Sting and Dusty Rhodes. Dusty Rhodes's stats is also interesting. He held the title 3 times for only 107 days total. One reign was for 5 days and another was for 14 days. Guys that held the belt longer than him include: Blue Demon Jr., Rob Conway, Mike Rapada and Kahagas.

Sure, he isn't a wrestler, but still a dead person on the main roster nonetheless.

If you watched Royal Rumble 1992, Ric Flair won and became the "Undisputed World Wrestling Federation Heavyweight Champion"; almost 10 years before Chris Jericho.
