They nearly had a chance for a literary tie-in. The Vince McMahon memorial RAW (the one that was cancelled due to Benoit) was slated to have guest appearances by the characters on USA's detective shows investigating Vince's "death". One of these shows was The Dead Zone, which means that since that show was based off of a Steven King book, the entire Kingverse would have been part of the WWE! Also, have we determined how Ready to Rumble fits into this whole thing? Since WWE owns all rights to WCW, that means they own Ready to Rumble and the fictional version of WCW featuring Jimmy King.

Wait! That means Ninja Turtles are real, which potentially means all of their crossovers are also real within WWE, which could mean Power Rangers, Teen Titans Go, Sonic The Hedgehog, and others are real! Furthermore, if TMNT being real includes the current Nickelodeon version, does that mean the entire Nickelodeon cartoon universe is real? And if so, what does that mean for the Hey Arnold episode where Helga wanted to attend a WrestleMania 6 headlined by Haystacks Calhoun?! I believe Haystacks Calhon was retired before WrestleMania was even a thing. And he passed away in 1989.

Then by that logic, Bob Sapp was once in WCW he appeared in You're Under Arrest, a J-Drama, that means WWE owns it: And he was also in a hentai manga as well, that means WWE also owns it too!

Though, given recent Terry Bollea events, I'm sure many here would be fine with the revised history that The Ultimate Warrior defeated a zombie Haystacks for the WWF title at the Skydome.

We are forgetting an even more obvious example... ZEUS. Meaning No Holds Barred is part of the WWE Universe as well. Which would also mean that Rip and Hulk Hogan co-exist. As do Jake Bullet and Demolition Ax. And Stan Hansen and unnamed bar thug. And there's two World Wrestling Federations, the one we know, and the NHB version where Rip and Bullet exist, as well as causing two pairs of Mean Gene and Jesse. Wonder if that one kept its name while ours became WWE? I don't think WWECU counts. That's just the wrestlers (the "real people" as far as WWE kayfabe is concerned) playing characters in movies. John Cena was still John Cena on Scooby Doo, not John Triton. As for the No Holds Barred example, I always interpreted it that Zeus was playing a character also coincidentally named Zeus (like how Tony Danza plays characters named "Tony"), while Hulk Hogan was playing Rip. Now I'm sad Tony Danza isn't part of this crazy, expanded WWE Universe yet.

I take back my previous South Park theory. I forgot that when the boys interacted with Fonzie in a flashback, it was actually a flashback which took place inside of a dream, which was itself inside of another dream. We can't count stuff like that. If we did, this thread might start to get confusing.

You know who I feel bad for? TNA. We've made so many connections in this thread, but all TNA can get is a Big Foot crossover.

WWE is mentioned in this fake documentary about Crystal Lake, that means WWE exists in the world of Friday the 13th.

Bumping this because now that Col. Sanders can be added to the list...are there any outstanding connections we can make?
And was Young Justice's cameo in one of the WWE/Scooby movies mentioned? Leading to the DCU if you want to be all-inclusive....or just Teen Titans Go! if not.
