Fine then. Does anyone know any facts about PPV's that have been held in February. 12 of the 19 WWE Feb PPVs have featured some sort of Cage Match.

The most wrestling PPVs WWE has ever held in one year is 16, which they did only once in 2006. Of the 16 wrestling PPVs held there were 5 Raw exclusive PPVs, 5 SmackDown exclusive PPVs, 4 all brand PPVs and 2 ECW exclusive PPVs.
This does not factor in UK exclusive PPVs, but I don't think any were held that year anyway.
Since then the number of PPVs has dropped with the numbers being...
2007: 15 PPVs 2008: 14 PPVs 2009: 14 PPVs 2010: 13 PPVs 2011: 13 PPVs 2012: 12 PPVs 2013: 12 PPVs 2014: 12 PPVs 2015: 12 PPVs scheduled

WWE or World Title changes at February PPV's:
97: Bret Hart (won vacant title) 2001: The Rock (from Kurt Angle) 04: Eddie Guerrero (from Brock Lesnar) 09: WWE Title: HHH (from Edge) World Title: Edge (from John Cena) 2010: WWE Title: John Cena (from Sheamus) Batista (from John Cena) World Title: Chris Jericho (from The Undertaker)
So 8 title changes there, 5 of which happened in 2 years. 3 title changes in 2010, has there ever been 3 title changes on another PPV?
Money in the Bank has never been cashed in in February but Batista's win was pretty much that without the briefcase.
Undertaker has lost 3 title matches at February PPV's, John Cena 2 although he has won one.

Anyone know any Fast Lane facts? Here's one: Fast Lane will be in good company, because in the first WrestleMania/SummerSlam/Survivor Series/Royal Rumble, there was no match for the World Title.

Anyone know any Fast Lane facts? First ppv to be held at the Pyramid in 16 years. Isn't the Pyramid a Bass Pro Shops now or in the process of becoming one? I swear I read that somewhere.

This happened at the first February WCW PPV ever:
Chi-Town Rumble - Chicago, IL - UIC Pavilion - February 20, 1989
Dark match after the show: Kendall Windham defeated Steve Casey at around the 25-minute mark; reportedly, the match went on so long because those in charge forgot they were out there and didn't give them the signal to finish

In 1997, WWE RAW used The Beautiful People as a theme tune, five years before Smackdown would.

In the 3 month period between November 2006 and January 2007 the WWE promoted 6 pay per views;
Cyber Sunday Survivor Series 2006 ECW December to Dismember: WWE Armageddon: New Years Revolution Royal Rumble 2007
What's even more insane is that the WWE decided to cram in all these pay per views over the Christmas period (when people are usually quite careful with their disposable income, when it comes to things like pay per views).
Predictably ECW December to Dismember was such a train-wreck that the following year the WWE stopped brand exclusive pay-per views and cut several events from their ppv calendar.

Batista was on the cover of the Armageddon poster for 3 years in a row. (05, 06, & 07)

The name "Gangrel" was never owned by WWF/WWE - They were paying White Wolf for the rights to the name throughout Gangrel's run.

The name "Gangrel" was never owned by WWF/WWE - They were paying White Wolf for the rights to the name throughout Gangrel's run. And they actually sued WWE in the mid-2000s after he appeared on a show using that name without WWE getting permission from White Wolf.

David Arquette donated the money made when he won the WCW title to the families of the late Owen Hart & Brian Pillman.

Brock Lesnar is the only person featured in a Madden, WWE, & UFC video game.

Brock Lesnar is the only person featured in a Madden, WWE, & UFC video game. Which is odd, because his breif stint in the NFL was in 2004, yet his sole Madden appearance is in the 06 version. I guess Madden 05 was too far along to include him. Why he still found his way into the next one despite being gone, however, is beyond me.

Crossover appeal and minor (at the time) celeb value.

That would be a valid reason if it were a marketing point. I don't recall his presence being advertised at all.
