Gangrel, Mideon and Viscera were the only wrestlers of the Ministry of Darkness not to win a world title. Combined, all the other members of the Ministry had twenty-four world title reigns. Evolution is the only stable I could find that all members had won a world title, although all Flair's world title reigns were before Evolution formed. Team ECK was the nearest, if you don't count Rhyno. I count Rhyno as a world champion, I think most would wouldn't they? The pre-WWE ECW title is considered a world title by the people who decide such things and I believe it was decided as such in '99 or '00, so given that Rhyno was the last guy to hold it he would be a former world champion. Also what the f*** am I talking about, he was NWA champion once as well.

Snuka's last mania match was against Jericho at the 24th anniversary of Wrestlemania. OK, 6 7. Add CM Punk to the list.

If the film Groundhog Day took place in its year of release, then Phil (Bill Murray) bought the young couple tickets to Wrestlemania IX at the end of the film. His goodwill sent them to go see Hogan politic his way back into the title. Way to go, Phil.

Rey Mysterio didn't win any PPV matches in WWE until Royal Rumble 2004. Now that his WWE career is done, perhaps it's time for a look back. Rey Mysterio appeared on 92 WWE PPVS. On which he had 22 wins in 1 on 1 matches. 4 vs Eddie 3 vs Chavo 2 vs JBL 2 vs Punk 2 vs Ziggler 2 vs Kane 1 vs Noble (the aforementioned RR 2004) 1 vs Psychosis 1 vs Finlay 1 vs MVP 1 vs Chris Jericho 1 vs Jack Swagger 1 vs Cody Rhodes

More...
Rey Mysterio's first WWE PPV was "Global Warning 2002" from Australia. The last WWE PPV while Rey was still under contract was "Fast Lane 2015".
WWE produced 172 PPVS from Rey's PPV debut until he was released, with Rey competing on 92 of them.
In other words: There were 80 PPVS during Rey Mysterio's WWE tenure on which he didn't compete.

You gotta figure that if he was healthy they were using him as well, it's not like they would have been leaving him off many PPVs if he was good to go since he was a huge merch seller. The guy got injured... a lot...

Still though, 80 seems like a hell of a lot to have missed.

Scott Hall has never been in the 30-man Royal Rumble. And until this year, none of the Dudleyz had either. Only Spike had ever even been entered and he didn't even make it to the ring.

Every year since the Royal Rumble debuted on Pay-Per-View it's been WWE's longest PPV match of the year, with 3 exceptions: 1996, 2000 & 2009.
That being said, 19 of the 28 Royal Rumble matches have been under 1 hour in length.

Was it the '96 Rumble that had a shorter time between entries, or was that '95? 2000 was the Judgement Day Iron Man match between Rock and Triple H? 2009 - Nope, drawing a blank here.

'95 was 60 second entries and I believe '96 was 90 second.

Royal Rumble '95 was the 39 minute one. 96 was average length but still a couple of minutes shorter than the Ironman. 96 was the HBK vs Bret WrestleMania Ironman 00 was the Rock vs HHH Judgment Day Ironman 09 was the Cena vs Orton Bragging Rights Ironman Another thing, although some Rumbles have seemed much longer, the longest Rumble ever, 2011 (the 40 man), was only 69 minutes. Only one other even comes close to that (at 30 seconds less) and that's 2002. The rest are at least 5 minutes shorter with most, again, comfortably under an hour.

In the first decade of the 1900s, Frank Gotch was a nationwide sensation and the first American wrestling superstar, comparable to Gorgeous George/Hulk Hogan/Steve Austin. At one point, he was so popular Teddy Roosevelt invited him to the White House, where Gotch had a match against a Japanese ju-jitsu expert (Gotch won). The most popular wrestler on the planet had an MMA match with an audience comprised of Teddy Friggin' Roosevelt. INSIDE THE WHITE HOUSE. Teddy Roosevelt, the Grandfather of MMA.
