The past five Royal Rumbles have started with somebody who won Money in the Bank at some point in their career. Dolph Ziggler for 2010 and 2013, CM Punk for 2011 and 2014, and The Miz for 2012. Daniel Bryan and Seth Rollins entered the Rumble at number 2 in 2011 and 2014 respectively then went on to win a Money in the Bank ladder match later the same year.

So, I did some research, and I learned that Florida has 7 PPV cities. So, here's a breakdown of the States Illinois - 2- Chicago and Rosemont They can gate themselves up and call it something different all they want, Rosemont is still Chicago to me. I agree, but then a lot of other cities would have the same thing. Phoenix/Glendale for WM 26 and Detroit/Auburn Hills/ Pontiac for SummerSlam 1993 and WM 3, to name a few.

Phoenix/Glendale for WM 26 and Detroit/Auburn Hills/ Pontiac for SummerSlam 1993 and WM 3, to name a few. Rosemont's an even worse case than those imo. At least those are "edge cities". They can rightfully claim outskirt status. Rosemont's trying to say it's not a part of Chicago but it's actually directly in between the Chicago central city (the Loop) and O'Hare Airport (which everyone agrees is in Chicago). It's like if I put up a 6 foot high fence around my yard and called it Verniana. Meh, I just had a personal disagreement that revolved around that fact before so it kinda peeves me. Lets just say that I'm glad I'm on the other side of the world now.

Lex Luger convinced Lawrence Taylor to participate at Wrestlemania XI I like to think there's a small village in Colombia that is prosperous to this day, solely because of the amount of cocaine consumed during this conversation.

Lex Luger convinced Lawrence Taylor to participate at Wrestlemania XI I wonder who Bam Bam Bigelow would've wrestled if Taylor had said no.

I'd imagine Diesel vs HBK would have main evented and Bam Bam would have fought 123 Kid on the undercard unless WWE could have found another celebrity (Mongo wasn't notable enough imo). I'm thinking Vince would have went after Bo Jackson.

Oh yeah, seeing Michael Jackson's skinny ABC-123 bro in the ring with Bam Bam Bigelow would have been awesome. Get real, man. The only answer is:

If this or something similar has already been posted, apologies. Also, only 99.9% sure I have this right, if I'm wrong feel free to correct.
Vince McMahon has wrestled in 4 Wrestlemania matches, all of them street fights or no holds barred (basically the same thing), and he lost every single one of them (WM17 vs. Shane, WM19 vs. Hogan, WM22 vs. HBK, WM26 vs. Bret). He never had a Wrestlemania match against Austin, his biggest foe.
Stephanie has never wrestled a WM match.

His next one after that was three years later. The one after that was four years later. It just so happens that the next WrestleMania is five years later, so perhaps we'll see the trend continue.

Not sure if this is obscure but I just found this out recently:
Jim Neidhart didn't immediately leave the WWF after the Montreal Screwjob. He stayed for two weeks, joined DX, got betrayed by DX, then got beat up by DX, and Shawn spray painted WCW on his back.

EZ Money/Jason Jett is the only person to compete on both the last ECW and WCW shows.
He was also the last person signed to a contract in WCW.

He never had a Wrestlemania match against Austin, his biggest foe. Stephanie has never wrestled a WM match. First part, I am positive of. Second part, it's a judgment call, I guess, since while she was not a participant in the match properly, Stephanie was involved a good deal in the title match of Wrestlemania 18 and a few moves from Triple H that would probably never fly nowadays. That said, whether you consider that wrestling a match depends, I guess, since she was just in Jericho's corner.

If I am not mistaken, the only day that WCW and WWF both aired a World Title change was January 4, 1999 - the Mick Foley butts in seats/Fingerpoke of Doom. (I say aired because Raw was taped that night obviously)

One more... The first ever casket match was between Ivan Koloff and Dusty Rhodes. Wasn't it Vachon VS Blackwell in the AWA?
