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. Yet he did hold the Hardcore Championship for a bit (he was even Hardcore Champion during Royal Rumble 2002...which led to him losing that title to Maven a short time later). |

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. One of my favorite gags that Eddie used to do was untie the tag rope then get in the ring and start attacking their opponent. When the ref complains and told him to get back to the corner Eddie would point that he's still holding the rope so he's not technically cheating. |

Obviously, the list of people who have ever pinned Hulk Hogan is remarkably short. Said list includes Jacques Rougeau. Along those same lines being Tito Santana being the one to give the character The Undertaker his first singles loss. When was that? As The Warrior pinned The Undertaker in London on the 1991 Uk Rampage Tour in May. I know because I was there. I’ve seen some places online say it was a DQ but it wasn’t. |

Then there's been misinformation that I was given, since the Tito pin happened in October. It's widespread misinformation if true (not saying you're lying, just saying the Tito story is out there a lot). |

It’s probably one of those “House Show, no cameras taping it, it therefore didn’t officially happen” things. The same card had The Hart Foundation tagging even though they had split after Wrestlemania. |

I remember at I think, No Way out 2005, Eddie was also tying laces to the tag rope to lengthen it. |
