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. No way this is correct. Edge and Christian were the first to jump to my mind.

Edge and Christian were the first to jump to my mind. Kevin Nash and Shawn Michaels The Mega Powers I think maybe he means hold the title at the same time. Sting held the NWA title and Warrior had the WWF title at the same point in 1990. Although that would make my E&C answer wrong because they were very close in their title reigns, but Edge lost the title about two weeks before Christian won his.

The Fabulous Moolah and Sable are the only mamas to win the WWF/E Women's Championship. Taryn Terrell is the only mama to win the TNA Knockouts Championship.

The Good Man included the important part: they were the only ones to do it at the same time.

How about Future Shock? How about Davey Edwards and Roderick Strong. Edge and Christian qualify with Heavyweight Title/NWA Title. Punk and Cabana held WWE/NWA Titles.

In 2005, WWE opened negotiations with Brock Lesnar about him returning to the company. Obviously, nothing came of it until years later.

If I remember correctly Lesnar wasn't really all that interested in returning and the negotiations were just part of a plan to try to get out of his original ten-year "No Compete" clause, which was partially successful.

I remember the Brock rumor making it on WWE.com then it was suddenly taken down. Huge kick in the nads that was.

Sting, Xavier Woods, R-Truth, Gail Kim, Marcus Cor Von, and Sabu are the only wrestlers to have wrestled at Bound For Glory before wrestling at Wrestlemania.

This Sunday's Payback event will be the first one not in Chicago. Both 2013 and 2014 were in the Windy City.
This comes three weeks after Extreme Rules was held in Chicago. The last non Payback PPV in Chicago before this year? Extreme Rules 2012.
Baltimore, Payback's location, held the first April edition of Extreme Rules.
The first Extreme Rules (minus the one night stand tag) event took place in June 2009. A month earlier, Chicago held Judgment Day.
Chicago has had a ppv ever year since 2009. They had them in 06 and 07, too. In 2008, Baltimore had Backlash in April.
To make a long story short, you're pretty much guaranteed a ppv in Chicago or Baltimore.

On the contract for the Shield vs Evolution match at Payback 2014, there was a message that said "World Wrestling Entertainment is a creative genius. The whole creation of the universe was fashioned by his ever-toiling hands. All living mortals should praise his name and image."

That probably read "Vince McMahon" originally.

One I brought up in the Chono thread:
Muta beating Chono on January 4, 1993 was the first ever NWA World title switch in Tokyo to that point. All previous title changes in Japan were elsewhere.

The 2002 RAW theme was originally going to be used for Test. During the album version, the band chants his name.

Rikishi appeared at WrestleMania under 3 different personas. (Rikishi, The Sultan & Fatu) More specifically: Assuming you count video packages, Mike and Windham Rotundo are the first father-son combination to each appear at Wrestlemania under multiple personas (Mike as IRS and Mike Rotundo in the US Express, Windham as Bray Wyatt and, as Husky Harris, in the video for Punk/Orton getting Punted out of existence.
