The "secret handshake" code between wrestlers never really existed, but many perpetuated it in order to out wanna-bes and marks. Soooooooo... That would indicate that there was a secret handshake of sorts... Sorry, I meant the perpetuation of the myth. Basically, the workers wouldn't say anything one way or another so that they could suss out wannabes coming up to them with the supposed secret handshake.

The WWE Hardcore Championship changed hands an estimated 234 times, and more than half of those reigns lasted less than a day

In August 1992, Davey Boy Smith won the InterContinental Championship in front of 78000 fans at Wembley Stadium.
That same month, Jake The Snake Roberts made his shocking debut in WCW.
5 months later, they are wrestling each other in front of 4000 fans at Cayey, Puerto Rico.

Renee Young applied her Hall of Fame makeup with a butter knife but somehow still managed to look hot.

Bobby Eaton, generally regarded as one of the best in-ring talents of his era, teamed with George Gulas, generally regarded as one of the worst in-ring talents of his era, early in his career as "the Jet Set."

Not including pairs of wrestlers, I think the Holly Cousins (Crash, Hardcore and Molly Holly) are the first family (kayfabe or not) to have all held the same championship, the WWE Hardcore Championship.

I'm just happy someone beside me remembers Weinerville! Now GET OUTTA HEEEEEEERE! I'm Boney, I'm Boney, leave me aloooooooooooooooooooooney! This was also where I discovered the Mister Magoo theatrical shorts and The Alvin Show version of the Chipmunks. Off Topic. About a year ago a m/f couple came into my store, and the guy was wearing a Weinerville hat. I talked to him about the hat and it turned out his wife was Mark Weiner's daughter. I finally got to get a question I had wondered for years answered that day, if the name Mark Weiner was a parody name of Mark Summers. The answer is no, that's really his name.

"The World's Largest Midget" wrestler appeared in the old Memphis promotion back in the 1960's. He was actually a normally proportioned 14 year old boy. I can remember fans speculating on what kind of "midget" he really was. Hilarious

John Cena seemingly cannot lift the Big Show for an Attitude Adjustment. But he was able to lift him just fine for the FU. I blame censorship.

Nailz's prisoner number was 902714 His name is Jean Valjean! Can I steal Scott Keith's question and ask if that number was some insider reference?
