Chris Jericho can speak 3 languages... English, Spanish, and Canadian! In all seriousness, he probably can at least speak passable Japanese, spending so many years there. Terry Taylor innovated the Rolling Boston Crab Lance Storm uses, but had actually forgotten completely about it when Storm thanked him.

bret hart's first match was against dennis stamp, who no sold bret's offense. the two had a rematch the following week, and the only reason stamp sold bret then was because roddy piper threatened him.
the big show has come second in the royal rumble twice.
kevin sullivan is a member (no pun intended) of a nudist colony.

The ultimate warrior, Sting, and John cena were all trained by the same guy, Rick bassman. Also, John Cena and Samoa Joe are great friends and came up in the business together, they used to have battle rap competitions with each other, and I believe they both decided that the one who made it big first was going to be the one to use the "you can't see me" gesture on TV. Somehow, I couln't picture Joe using that. Wasn't it that they both decided to use "The Champ Is Here" Yes it was "The Champ Is Here" and Joe used it before Cena did seeing as how he was champion before Cena.

The Honky Tonk Man has appeared in two Royal Rumble matches as a guest/surprise entrant (1998, 2001). That's equal to the number of Royal Rumbles matches he was in while employed by the WWF as an active wrestler (1989, 1990).
He lasted 19 minutes, 55 seconds in the '98 Rumble, which was more than twice as much as all three of his other appearances combined. (4:12 in 1989; 4:01 in 1990; 1:16 in 2001)

The WWF Final Four match in 1997 was advertised as the final four in the 1997 Royal Rumble competing for the vacant WWF Title. If that was really the case however, then Fake Diesel would've been in Vader or Taker's spot, as he was in the final 3 of the match

In 15 of the 20 Royal Rumbles, the wrestler who drew No. 3 didn't even last 5 minutes before he was eliminated.
And in 6 of the 20 Rumbles, the No. 3 wrestler didn't even last until the No. 4 wrestler arrived:
1990 - Marty Jannetty, 1:35 1993 - Papa Shango, 0:28 1997 - Fake Razor Ramon, 0:17 1998 - Tom Brandi, 0:12 1999 - Golga, 0:15 2006 - Simon Dean, 0:45

Didn't Edge accidently injure his opponent during his TV debut by breaking his neck? It was Jose Estrada of the Boriquas. Edge did a somersault plancha to the floor, and his right leg came straight down on the top of Jose's head. I think he only suffered a stinger or a jammed neck (as opposed to literally broken), but regardless, he couldn't get back in the ring, so Edge won by CO. Here's the clip: www.wrestlinggonewrong.com/video/edge_joseestrada.htmlAnother bit of useless trivia: 2 Cold Scorpio really is a Scorpio (birthdate Oct. 25).

Finlay lacerated his knee at a WCW House Show when he was put through a table by Brian Knobbs. And it was in Jackson, MS - the one house show WCW had down there while I was still living there. And I missed it. -Fake Diesel was NOT in the Final Four match in 1997 because he was eliminated from the Royal Rumble "legally" by Bret Hart. The Final Four was Steve Austin and the three guys he eliminated "illegally" (after he was eliminated by Bret but the referees didn't see it): Vader, Undertaker and Bret Hart. -Taz originally didn't talk because he didn't think he would be any good at it. Sabu didn't talk because he believed it added to the mystery of the character. -Hulk Hogan and Tito Santana are the only wrestlers to appear at the first nine WMs.

I'll stay with WM facts. All three members of the Mean Street Posse won, held, and lost their only WWE title, the Hardcore title, at WM 2000(WM 16). FALSE! Pete Gas won the Hardcore Title a few weeks prior in Newark Airport and immediately lost it back to Crash. Gas has the distinction of being the first person to end the initial 24/7 run.

Many credit the piledriver to Bob Orton, Sr., and the superplex to Bob Orton, Jr. It kinda makes me wonder if the Randy Orton Backbreaker will become a staple move in the future.

None of Hulk Hogan's partners at the 1987 Survivor Series were still with the company 365 days later.
