WWE once released a biography on Kane, written almost entirely in kayfabe.

For the first 43 years of its existence, the NWA title was never vacant. The first person to vacate the title was Ric Flair, when he left to go to the WWF. The second time the title was vacated was also Flair, when WCW withdrew from the NWA. The second person to vacate it, causing the third vacancy, was the very next champion, Shane Douglas. It has subsequently been vacant six more times, for a grand total of nine.
The first person to officially vacate the WWE belt was Andre. Unofficially, it was Antonio Inoki, though his win and then giving up the title after a rematch, are not recognized by WWE. It has since been vacated a further nine times.

Jake Roberts wasn't the first wrestler to bring a snake with him to the ring. Or the second. Or even the fifth. John Tolos, Freddie Blassie, The (original) Sheik and Kevin Sullivan were all doing that before him.
Steve Austin, Undertaker, Goldust, JBL and Ahmed Johnson were all managed by Skandor Akbar during their rookie and/or sophomore years. Akbar is also the only manager I'm aware of who has managed both Barbarians, Nord and Konga/Sione.
Billy Kidman's final match was against Afa Jr., the son of the man who had originally trained Kidman.

I wrote this in the thread about Tyson Kidd's injury, but I think it also fits here really well. Next month marks the 20th anniversary of Tyson being a professional wrestler. He had his first WWE match around the same time as The Rock and Stone Cold.

Edge is currently the only man to have won the Royal Rumble, King of the Ring, and Money in the Bank. Sheamus has very recently accomplished this feat.

The Miz was the first one to hold the WWE title for 6 months or more in essentially two years. Miz reign was from November 22, 2010 to May 1, 2011. The longest reign before him was HHH. His reign was April 27, 2008 to November 23, 2008.
The longest reign between these time periods was John Cena at 4 months and the shortest reign was yes you guessed it John Cena, only holding it for one day.

The kid reading the prologue before Crow Sting's theme ("when a man's heart...") was done by none other than the best Aces & 8's member, Garrett Bischoff.

Wasn't mentioned in some forms, so it may be a technicality, but:
On last Wednesday's "Wednesday Night War"- four different shows aired- ROH television, TNA Impact, Lucha Underground, and NXT.
Bullet Club made an appearance on three of the four shows in some way (between their match on ROH's show, Jeff Jarrett appearing on Impact, and the video for Finn Balor focusing on his time in Japan), breaking Rick Rude's record of two shows simultaneously (and tying his appearing in ECW/WCW/WWF within a span of a couple weeks.)

Today is 7/01. Pokemon #701 is Hawlucha, the luchador Pokemon. That makes this a wrestling fact, right?

Didn't Hernandez pull a "Rick Rude" 2 weeks ago, appearing on both Impact and Lucha Underground?
