Nitro's last show to reach the 4.0 mark for ratings was on 9/6/99. That show was unopposed, as Raw was on late due to US Open Tennis.
The last head to head 4.0 show was on 4/19/99.
The final Nitro had a 3.0 rating. It was the first time the show cracked a 3 since 9/11/2000. In fact, it was almost a point higher than the average rating the previous month.

When Mabel won the King of the Ring tournament in 1995, an actual King of the Ring title belt was made but it never made it to TV.
Whomever designed that belt was WAY behind the times. In the upper left corner I see the flag of the Soviet Union, which collapsed 4 years BEFORE Mabel won King of the Ring!
Could be China.

Could be China. Only way to find out would be to spend one night in there.

Could be China. It absolutely is the China flag.

That's nothing like Union Flag either. It's St Andrew's Cross with a bit of red paint slapped on it. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag_of_Great_BritainIt's closer to this version, which stopped being used in 1801, but still not quite right.

Could be China. That is the flag of the Soviet Union. I made out the star, hammer and sickle when stretched as far as I could get it on my phone.

This is what you're looking at: I disagree (that is clearly the hammer and sickle at my vantage point), but I'll just drop it. Not worth arguing about.

Okay, my mistake, and sincere apologies.
Going on a wild guess here, but I'm thinking Reg Park probably put this one together on the fly and used whatever leftover material he had sitting around to do so.

Probably did it as a rib, thinking, "Mabel don't know any better, I'll stick the USSR flag on there." Worst thing that happens, he has to fix it. (Or Mabel sits on him.)

Facts about The Warriors vs. The Heenan Family at the 1989 Survivor Series :
It was the first time where the World Champion was not a participant in the final match of the Survivor Series. This would happen again in 1991, 1994, and 2000.
There are 5 Hall of Famers in the match (Warrior, Andre, Heenan, Anderson, and Michaels).
This was the second PPV match where Heenan scored a pinfall (He pinned Koko B Ware at WrestleMania 4)
This was Andre's third and final Survivor Series appearance.
Shawn Michaels, who benefitted from the Montreal Screwjob, was on the same team as Jim Neidhart. Jim was the longtime partner of Bret Hart, the victim of the Screwjob.

Hulk Hogan never was in a Money In The Bank match (He probably would've won )

Hulk Hogan never was in a Money In The Bank match (He probably would've won ) You know, obviously he'd be very ill suited to that match by the time it existed, but I am actually a little bit surprised Hogan has, to my knowledge, not been in a Hell in a Cell. That's the sort of gimmicky match he was all about in WCW, and probably could have let him cover some of his weaknesses by the time he returned, like lower mobility. Probably wouldn't be that exciting, but it'd have been natural for his feud with Undertaker or maybe even Vince, instead of the street fight Piper interfered in.

Actually, here's a surprising fact I once figured out about Hogan: WWF/E never put him in a handicap match where he was alone. (He was in a few 2-on-3 handicaps.) Which is kind of surprising because he's pretty much always been considered one of the most powerful wrestlers when in WWF, so you would think they would accentuate that by pitting him against 2 or more men, only for him to win against the odds.

During his 1980s run, that wasn't really a thing for anyone except Andre and 2-3 "giant" heels.

Reg Park made lots of belts for WWF. Including Winged Eagle. Also, IF HE WANTED TO TRY STU, HE SHOULDA TRIED HIM! EDIT: Also, Mabel had another Reg Park belt: {Spoiler}{Spoiler} Speaking of memes that need to die. ^^^^^^^

As he's leaving-
Cody Rhodes is the only man to win a title from himself.
