This came up from a Twitter thing I had with a friend. What are some minor facts in wrestling we tend to forget about today?
Brought up when a friend of mine mentioned that the "Wooo" with chops should only be in a Ric Flair match, and I had to remind him that it started back in ECW when Shane Douglas was working matches. Can't remember if it was to mock Shane or mock WCW or Flair.

Jeff Jarrett is one of a very, very select few to have victories over all five members of The Kliq. (he has a victory over Shawn in USWA)

It's fairly well known but when certain people go on tired rants always remember that a 12 year old Riho beat Minoru Suzuki.

Obviously, the list of people who have ever pinned Hulk Hogan is remarkably short.
Said list includes Jacques Rougeau.

After Chris Benoit's last match ever, he was referred to as a "future Hall of Famer" on commentary.

The rope that is dangling in the ring corner is the tag rope. In a tag team match, for a tag to be legal, the wrestler outside the ring needs to be holding on to the tag rope and have at least one foot on the mat.

I went to an NXT house show and the crowd was on a tag rope kick all night. The Forgotten Sons became default faces because they mockingly used the tag ropes.

The Rock is the only man to face Hollywood Hogan, Scott Hall and Kevin Nash all 1 on 1 in the nWo's short WWE stint.

In tag team wrestling, if you are tagged in, you cannot tag out or tag someone else in until you make contact with the other legal wrestler, also know as your opponent.

I'm not entirely sure this is the right thread but it didn't seem worth starting a new one so I'll just ask...
In a championship 2 out of 3 falls match if the champion loses one fall by pinfall/submission and the other fall by DQ/countout, does the title change hands?

I know in a 2/3 falls match with Hart Foundation as heel champions and I BELIEVE British Bulldogs the Bulldogs got a count-out fall in there and didn't win the titles even though they won the match.

The first time I ever remember seeing a tag rope used was when Eddie Guerrero was doing things like taking it loose and tying it around the ring rope so he could move around the ring still holding it.

They weren't consistent about it. Two years later, the Brain Busters became champions despite winning a fall by DQ and so did the Hart Foundation in 1990.

Due to the Unified Tag Team Belts not being formally merged until after he'd lost them, Miz is due to date technically the only person in WWE history to hold three championships at once, as he held both tag titles and the US title.

Prior to 2016, only 2 wrestlers in WWE history had ever held every championship eligible for a Grand Slam- Chris Jericho and Jeff Hardy. The Smackdown Tag Team Titles are the only championship that Hardy has held that Jericho hasn't, and neither has held the Universal championship.
Interestingly, despite his prolific career, The Undertaker is not a Grand Slam winner, as he has never held either the Intercontinental or US championships.
