Vader never wrestled on Nitro, despite being featured in the intro Wow, seriously? I am actually kind of shocked. He was suspended for the Orndorff fight four or five days before the first Nitro aired, and was fired without ever appearing on the show.

There have been nine WWE or World title changes on Smackdown.
The first WWF title change on Raw was Sid defeating Bret Hart on February 17, 1997.

It's Shawn's nemesis actually, as he's lost more titles to Vacant alone than all others combined.

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. Did that not happen the night after the Screwjob? I had recollections of it being that next night (which I remmeber being a very awkward show), but maybe I'm off a week. Weird (but not ridiculous) that they'd drag the Screwjob drama out an extra week like that.

Neidhart again appeared in December being referred to as "The Rhino" Just a week laterOddly enough, they put him over pretty well in this.

Wow, I have no recollection of this match and I was watching regularly at this time! Thought for SURE Neidhart was gone immediately after being double-crossed. I see now also he was going over The Sultan on house shows that week, before leaving for good in December.

In March 1997, Uncensored (325,000) had more buys than WrestleMania (237,000)
The last WCW PPV to get more buys than a WWF PPV was in February 1999, SuperBrawl (485,000) over St Valentine's Day Massacre (449,000).
All of WCW's PPV buys combined for the year 2000 (around 945,000) are only a little over 100,000 more buys than WrestleMania 2000, and about 100,000 less buys than WM 17.
The last three WCW ppv's combined (200,000) are lower than any solo PPV total in 1998 (the lowest buy was World War 3 with 250,000)
Starrcade 2000 had 650,000 less buys than Starrcade 1997.
