X-Pac and Dean Malenko are the only stars to have more than one Lightheavyweight title reign. Those two, along with Tajiri, are the only ones to hold the cruiserweight and lightheavyweight titles. Ultimo Dragon held both but it was before the WWF recalled the title. I think maybe Jushin Liger did too but I can't be certain without checking

During the 1992 Royal Rumble match, Bobby Heenan said Yes 17 times and No 21 times. I think we've finally found the most truly obscure fact.

Daniel Bryan's first word on WWE TV was "yes".

Survivor Series 1988 was the only Survivor Series to feature Bret Hart and Shawn Michaels on the same team.

The sword on Brock Lesnar's chest represents the myriad pressures he felt during a dark period in his life after leaving WWE

Triple H has been a member of six stables, seven if you count the two man power trip.

The Klique is kind of, sort of a stable, I guess. He's also been in, is it three or four, different versions of D-X, if that counts.

Ric Flair is the most successful member of the Anderson wrestling 'family' being a distant cousin of Arn. Ken Anderson, arguable the most famous wrestler in the modern age with that last name, is not related. And Steve Austin was born Steve Anderson, or Steve Williams, I forget. And Ken Anderson was given the name "Kennedy" in the WWE simply because Vince hated Ole Anderson so badly he didn't want to give fans the impression that Ken might be one of them. Steve Austin was born Steve Williams.

Since a lot of people get this one wrong: Bobby Heenan began his career as a manager, not a wrestler. I like him saying that he went to tell his mom about the nature of the business, and that she said she already knew, and that no one would allow him to manage them if it wasn't staged. Heenan was the only manager to ever appear as a manager in the old St Louis NWA promotion. St Louis promoter Sam Muchnick tried to insist on making wrestling appear as real a competition as he could; he did not allow for managers (except for a one-shot by Heenan as a favor to Dick the Bruiser), masked wrestlers, or wrestlers with foreign nobility titles (ex. Baron von Raschke was billed simply as "Von Raschke").

One more obscure fact: The Blade Runners are the only team to have broken up and later held individual WHC's in two different promotions: Sting in NWA/WCW and Warrior (aka Blade Runner Rock) in WWF.
