The Scott Hall Lord Humongous (a lot of people dismiss it because of the blonde hair, but Hall *did* dye his hair lighter for a while during the mid-80s): www.youtube.com/watch?v=TU-JMEyz3e8

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.) Didn't Hernandez pull a "Rick Rude" 2 weeks ago, appearing on both Impact and Lucha Underground? Neither of these are what Rude did. Rude appeared on a taped Raw and a live Nitro at almost the exact same time. Not to mention, he had been on a taped ECW Hardcore TV anywhere from 48-72 hours prior depending on where you lived. Rude was one guy who did something historic and it was one of if not thee final successful shot fired by WCW in the Monday Night War. I'm sorry, but these two examples are not what Rude did. Especially the Bullet Club one, I mean c'mon.

However, although not part of the original Draft, Funaki would be on the SmackDown roster from 2002-2010 before he was released. To add to that fact- if you count wrestlers who left the company, but came back later, as part of the 2002 Brand Extension Draft, Goldust would not move to another show besides the one he was drafted on until 2009, when he was traded to ECW... and if you only count the original two brands in the Brand Extension (not ECW as the "expansion team" of the three), Goldust would also be the only wrestler during the Brand Extension Era who would NEVER wrestle a match for the opposing brand to the one he was drafted on (Goldust "signed" with Smackdown upon the closing of ECW, but never wrestled on a Smackdown broadcast, and then was drafted back to Raw in the 2010 Supplemental Draft.)

Milli Vanilli needed bodyguards, because they were in danger of getting beaten up by former fans

wut Seeing that Vampiro was a bodyguard for Milli Vanilli reminded me of the fraud they perpetuated on their fans. It turns out that OTHER people sang the songs and Milli Vanilli were lip-synching!

Lawler was USWA champion 28 times according to wikipedia, so quite a few, I guess. One of his title losses...the interview he gave afterwards made me a Lawler fan for life. He lost the title to Ahmed Johnston. After the match, he said that his mind wasn't on the match because "Before the match, I heard Art Model was moving the Browns to Baltimore." In the PWI that mentioned this, it said Ahmed won after bodyslamming the King 10-12 times. That was the match. I'd be willing to guess a lot of the USWA title switches were weekly reigns.

If LEsnar has taught me anything, its that its possible to look even more badass than ever by spamming the same move all match. However, we're talking about Ahmed Johnson, so I don't think that worked this time.

Not in a 'stiff, because Japanese strong style' way, in a 'that guy might be dead, Vader even thought that was a bit too much of a potato' way.

When WWE 2K16 comes out, Arnold Schwarzenegger will be in more wrestling games than any other U.S. Governor. (Yeah, believe it or not, Jesse Ventura has never been in a wrestling video game.)

Kevin Nash also had a cameo in the music video for Skee-Lo's "I Wish (I Was A Little Bit Taller)". And Tommy Dreamer, Buh Buh Ray Dudley, and Big Dick Dudley had cameos in the porn film Whack Attack 5. Talk about a boner killer.

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. He honestly felt the need to explain to his Mom he wasn't an asshole?
