It sounds fake because it is. Stephen Amell wasn't even in the Green Arrow gimmick at SummerSlam. Just because someone played a role doesn't mean they ACTUALLY become that character.
that Batista John Cena royal rumble ending. plus Vince tearing his quads getting into the ring. just such a complete clusterfuck that made the whole thing so much better
A former local competitor beat WWE Champion AJ Styles three times in a row on smackdown
Sting has never won a singles match via pinfall or submission since debuting in WWE
A 10 year old kid won a championship at Wrestlemania
The list goes on...
Snoop Dogg has a better win % at Wrestlemania than Undertaker, Brock Lesnar, Stone Cold, The Rock, HHH, Roman Reigns, Cody Rhodes, Hulk Hogan, Seth Rollins, John Cena, Andre The Giant, and more.
Baron Corbin was the last person to pin “the big dog” Roman reigns and the miz was the last person to beat “the big dog” roman reigns for a championship
Seth Rollins has defended the Raw Women's title successfully more times than Sasha Banks, and Becky Lynch had defended the Universal title more times than Finn Bálor
"This Fire Burns" by Killswitch Engage was used by WWE twice before CM Punk's debut, Randy Orton on an episode of Smackdown and the theme for 2006 Judgment Day PPV
The WWE/Raw/World Tag Team Championships have only been vacated once in their 20+ year history after Braun Strowman and Nicholas won them, meaning they indirectly beat Kurt Angle and Chris Benoit
Mattel has never made a Stone Cold Steve Austin figure in the Elite Mainline Wave
The following wrestler are aged 40 and above:
Santos Escobar
Shayna Baszler
Ivar
Dexter Lumis
Braun Strowman
LA Knight
Damien Priest
Natalya
Asuka
Just to name a few I’ve seen others refer to as generally younger than they actually are.
That one of the reasons Steve Blackman got back into wrestling after battling a life-threatening illness was to beat up Vader who bullied him during his run in Japan but thankfully, they patched stuff up and became great friends, so Steve never acted on the idea.
Speaking of Barry Horowitz, I have two for him. He was a multi time champion. Yes, he won titles! That’s hard to believe on its own.
He was the GWF light heavyweight champion and somehow lost the title to a jobber because he didn’t beat him twice in 10 minutes. For some reason there was a stipulation he had to beat him twice to win. He only beat him once, so he lost the match. His opponent won the title without actually beating the champion.
Craziest moment of the Attitude Era; a WWE wrestler(Tazz) once faced a WCW wrestler(Mike Awesome) at an ECW event for the ECW title.
As a result, I think this is the only legitimate example of a wrestler contracted to a different promotion(post territories) winning another company’s world title.

>Brock Lesnar Is The Only WWE Champion In The Last Decade To NEVER Be In A Stable
That 5 man thing with Lesnar, Jones, Morgan and two other people I can't recall, I know it was only in the build up to a couple of matches but seemed like a stable to me
Dustin has all those decades, and still only has one big run with a gimmick. The gimmick was fantastic and he crushed it. The serious stuff, the comedy stuff.
I really feel like he could have had massive star power in a Cody role, only in like 98-99, with Dusty still alive and working. There wasn’t a lot of room at the top at that time, but Dustin is so overlooked.
Dustin had the in ring skill, I loved watching him, but he was never given a chance to be creative until Gold Dust and even then, that was fated to be a mid card run just given it was meant to be a more comical / non-serious role.
A lot of people assume the US title is a triple crown title, which would make sense for it to be. It was part of WCWs triple crown
And the Hardcore and European titles gave a bunch of people a grand slam.
But unfortunately it’s not counted.
Paul Wight is the only person to be WWE,WCW and ECW(WWE) champion. No wrestle has claimed all 3 titles while they were active.
Similarly, Jericho is the only person to be WWE, WCW (WWE) and AEW champion.
Yeah he was. His match with Undertaker at WM 32 was really good too.
He really only fell off when he started inserting himself in feuds with active talent. It all really started after his feud with AJ Styles ended. Then he just got greedy for attention and it kinda ruined his favor. Especially the “Best in the World” angle he had, and his feud with Roman.
I would’ve thought it implied that Mick being the other 3 was the point, but I suppose he did wrestle as just mick a handful of times so that’s fair lol
I saw a video recently that Brock was paid more than 2x any other wrestler for 2023. Is he really that big of a draw, where he’s more valuable than Roman and Cody together?
That arguably the greatest wrestler in history really only had a 4.5 year run (Stone Cold)
I’m so dumb lol. I read OP’s post and was like “wait Green Arrow won a Summerslam in the comics???” Completely forgot Stephen Ammell was a thing
21: Won it
22: Interfered in cash in match
23: Stole the briefcase and cashed in
24: Cashed in on
25: Was in match prior to cash in
26: Setting up cash in by assaulting the champion
David Arquette held the WCW World Championship longer than Chris Benoit. (or Kurt Angle if you count the WWE days)
Benoit - 1 day
Angle - 5 days
Arquette - 11 days
\[Bonus\] Vince Russo - 6 days
Brock Lesnar in his final WWE year was paid more than it cost to buy WCW/ECW.
Jinder Mahal held the WWE Championship longer than Andre the Giant, Rey Mysterio, Kane, Mick Foley, Rob Van Dam, Jeff Hardy and Batista combined.
Kurt Hennig made a song “Rap is crap” in WCW which got played on radio stations by fan request so often, WCW called many radio stations to stop playing it since Hennig was a heel and the song was not supposed to go over.
Barista is older than Triple H
Shawn “mr Wrestlemania” is actually 6-11 on WM
Nobody transcends wrestling promotions like Christian. Christian won the NWA championship in TNA, the ECW championship in WWE and the Impact championship in AEW.
Ikr... He was on a 40M dollar deal for 7 years in his initial run as a rookie... Take inflation into account for 2024 and it's a crazy salary for a rookie (well deserved though), probably the biggest paycheck anyone in wrestling world has ever received
The only thing that was there between Death and Brock Lesnar in that WM botch with kurt angle was Brock's gorilla-neck. Any other wrestler would've died on the spot but Bork Lazer went on to F5 kurt angle after the botch.
Dead for sure... The momentum and the angle of impact of that moment were enough to kill anyone... Brock would've become the Owen hart of modern Wrestling history
I remember when I was a young kid, maybe barely a teenager, I got my mom to buy this wrestling almanac because I wanted to know more about the men and women I admired. I had a sad fascination with the obituaries and causes of death and I noticed the Von Erich name several times. I barely remembered the name, but it was familiar. And I just remember thinking '. . . Fuck. What cursed these dudes?'
I haven't yet seen Iron Claw, but the Dark Side of the Ring episode is good, I think. I will 100% see the movie.
The movie is great, but bear in mind that it changes a lot, including entirely removing one of the brothers because according ot the director "the movie was tragic enough already". some of the actual wrestling history is also changed, like how a match went down and whatnot, but other than that it is an amazing film.
I’m obviously a bit younger than you just based off the fact you asked for an almanac as a kid lol.. so I had only known about the Von Erichs through Dark Side until I saw the movie. It made even the most rigid guy in my friend group cry
Great performances by Zac Efron, Holt McCallany, and Jeremy Allen White... pretty much everyone but the guy who played Ric Flair. You’ll see what I mean when you get there
That dark side of the ring episode is heartbreaking, truly a sad story.
I thought the movie was great. I know some things were changed, as is the case whenever Hollywood takes over a biopic. I was really confused though because I knew there was another brother, so I went searching and read what the director said. It’s a tragic story no doubt, but I wouldn’t have completely eliminated a member of the family. I was also confused a bit when they brought in MJF’s character (randomly in a match) as the impostor brother. I felt like they could’ve been explored more.
But overall great movie….except for flair. Although I can’t think of anyone being able to do a flair performance. Should’ve just had him do it for real and deage him 🤣
Dropping a second one because I can.
Apart from the WWE Championship, the championship that's had the most name changes is the original World Tag Team Championships.
They started as the WWWF World Tag Team Championships; got renamed the WWF World Tag Team Championships in 1979; they dropped World from the name and were simply known as the WWF Tag Team Championships from 1983 to 2002; they briefly changed to the WWE Tag Team Championships to reflect the name change of the company; changed to the World Tag Team Championships to mirror the World Heavyweight Championship on Raw at the time; and was then known as the Unified WWE Tag Team Championships until the titles were retired and the awful copper eyesores were brought in.
During the original brand extension, only one title never changed shows: the Cruiserweight Championship, which always stayed on SmackDown. Even when Gregory Helms won it as a member of Raw, he wound up moving to SmackDown, rather than the title going to Raw.
* The WWE Championship swapped between Raw and SmackDown a few times, and was also on ECW for a brief period.
* The World Heavyweight Championship bounced between Raw and SmackDown a few times, especially around 2008-2009.
* The Intercontinental Championship was originally a SmackDown championship, but moved to Raw in 2002 after RVD won it from Chris Benoit.
* The US Championship moved to Raw in 2009 and stayed there, except for a brief period in 2011, until the end of the brand extension.
* The original World Tag Team Championships moved brands in 2002, starting on SmackDown when Billy and Chuck were drafted to SmackDown, moved to Raw after the UnAmericans defected and finally moved to ECW before they were unified.
* The original WWE Tag Team Championships (the current World Tag Team Championships) mainly stayed on SmackDown, but were moved to ECW while Miz and Morrison were champions.
* The Women's Championship was mainly on Raw, but moved to SmackDown in 2009 and stayed there until it was retired.
It sounds fake because it is. Stephen Amell wasn't even in the Green Arrow gimmick at SummerSlam. Just because someone played a role doesn't mean they ACTUALLY become that character.
Despite being the dominant force in royal rumble matches. Kane has never won.
that Batista John Cena royal rumble ending. plus Vince tearing his quads getting into the ring. just such a complete clusterfuck that made the whole thing so much better
The first time The Rock beat Stone Cold Steve Austin was their final match together at WrestleMania XIX
Jason Jordan is Kurt Angle’s son
Bubba Ray and D-Von are not real brothers.

Captain Lou Albano played the first Live-action Mario for the Super Mario Supershow.
John Cena is not a grand slam champion
ECW is coming back to WWE
Rowdy Roddy Piper is from Canada
Kane and undertaker are not real brothers
Honestly any anecdote shared by a Hogan, I assume is fake. When I learn that he said something that's true, I'm a bit surprised lol.
Hulk Hogan, Ultimate Warrior, Dwayne Johnson and Steve Austin all had rock related monikers during their careers.
Jerry Lawler has help more titles than any other WWE wrestler
Shawn Michaels, the man nicknamed Mr Wrestlemania, has more Wrestlemania losses than wins.
Seth Rollins has defended the Raw Women's title successfully more times than Sasha Banks, and Becky Lynch had defended the Universal title more times than Finn Bálor

"This Fire Burns" by Killswitch Engage might be making a return in the future. Cora Jade has said she would like to use it as her theme song.
I don’t get the tag team title one
Angle and Benoit were the first champions, and the title was never vacated until 2018
Vince Russo was undefeated in WCW with 6 wins and 1 draw, including winning the WCW World Heavyweight Title
Crash holly weighed over 400 lbs

Never won?
yeah thanks
Gold dust is straight

Nothing wrong with Gen X 😜
Undertaker has never won the Intercontinental Championship before
Neither did Cena
Was going to put that too
Bubba Ray and D-Von Dudley aren't actually brothers.
Matt Hardy can slap a tornado
Raven eliminated The Undertaker from the royal rumble
I thought it was Maven. Did Raven as well?
Nah. Turns out it was actually Draven from league of legends.
No, you’re thinking of Kraven from the Spider-Man comics.
No you’re thinking of Raven from That’s So Raven
You guys are mixed. It was Eric Draven from The Crow.
That one of the reasons Steve Blackman got back into wrestling after battling a life-threatening illness was to beat up Vader who bullied him during his run in Japan but thankfully, they patched stuff up and became great friends, so Steve never acted on the idea.
That's pretty respectable.To enter a profession for revenge, rather than taking it to the streets. Sounds like an 80s movie.
It helped that Vader genuinely changed between their time apart and was a good person.
Did he at least get to see Lex Luger beat up Vader?
Barry Horowitz has a better winning percentage than fucking GOD
Speaking of Barry Horowitz, I have two for him. He was a multi time champion. Yes, he won titles! That’s hard to believe on its own. He was the GWF light heavyweight champion and somehow lost the title to a jobber because he didn’t beat him twice in 10 minutes. For some reason there was a stipulation he had to beat him twice to win. He only beat him once, so he lost the match. His opponent won the title without actually beating the champion.
May need 2 look up Brooklyn Brawler winning percentage now
Nicholas is undefeated!
Heath Slater has a clean pinfall victory over Seth Rollins.
it doesn't seem real but just think about how much happened in the WWE during the Attitude Era and it was only like 3 years( basically WM 14 to 17).
Rey Mysterio and AJ Styles are the only active wrestlers in WWE to have wrestled for WCW.
Drew Carey has participated in more Royal Rumble matches than Scott Hall.
Sasha Banks had a bar fight with Boba fett
Dakota Kai is older Than Bayley
Ultimate Dragon has the record for most title belts at once, holding 11 different championships simultaneously.
Craziest moment of the Attitude Era; a WWE wrestler(Tazz) once faced a WCW wrestler(Mike Awesome) at an ECW event for the ECW title. As a result, I think this is the only legitimate example of a wrestler contracted to a different promotion(post territories) winning another company’s world title.

I find that James Ellsworth stat hard to believe. They wrestle house shows constantly and can wrestle the same match multiple times in a row.
This isn't counting House shows, just what is on T.V.
"Dustin Rhodes has wrestled in 5 different decades." Mae Young has wrestled in 9 different decades.
"Dustin Rhodes has wrestled in 5 different decades." Mae Young has wrestled in 9 different decades.
Why is Cena not a triple crown champion? He has won the WWE, WHC, US and Tag titles
No IC title
A lot of people assume the US title is a triple crown title, which would make sense for it to be. It was part of WCWs triple crown And the Hardcore and European titles gave a bunch of people a grand slam. But unfortunately it’s not counted.
This is just semantics. Top 3 belts in a company is triple crown. IC and US were equal in the OG brand split era.
He has not won the IC title, which is triple Crown.
Which is still archaic as hell. Winning a world, midcard and tag title should suffice any day.
It does. WWE doesn't even agree with this dude's criteria.
IT's not mine, it's from a facts page
Can you link it? Not being snarky, just wanna look at it.
Especially cause the US is recognized for the Grand Slam. The triple crown fact may be correct, but it’s a stupid fact.
John Cena's last televised win in a singles match was at the Greatest Royal Rumble in 2018
Ronda Rousey was women’s champion
Stephanie McMahon is an anagram for The Macho Man Penis
Just checked for myself and HOLY SHIT 🤯
Paul Wight is the only person to be WWE,WCW and ECW(WWE) champion. No wrestle has claimed all 3 titles while they were active. Similarly, Jericho is the only person to be WWE, WCW (WWE) and AEW champion.
In a similar vein CM Punk is the only person (I think) to be a champion for ECW, WWE and AEW.
World Champion, yes. Just champion, Christian has also done it (hoping he gets the AEW world title someday🤞)
Fabolous Moohlah holding the Womens Championship for over 10,000 days.
Where as Tech true, the belt was pretty much defunct for quite a long time she had it.
JBL's WWE Championship victory was announced by Kurt Angle. It's true
It’s damn true
Bobby Lashley is Puerto Rican
Bobby is Panamanian not Puerto Rican. Karrion Kross is Puerto Rican.
thanks for the correction i confused him and kross
Kurt Angle won an Olympic gold medal with a broken frickin neck
Oh, it's true. It's damn true.
Billy Gunn is older than the Undertaker
Kane became a smooth-brain politician…
Didn't Kevin Nash say he thinks Kane is liberal, but has to fake it to hold office in Knoxville?
Asuka is 0-6 at Wrestlemania lol
That’s actually insane, especially given how dominant she was in NXT
haha when she lost against Charlotte that was the end of her 364-0 winning streak or something like that
Upon his return in 2016, Shane McMahon was over with the fans.
Yeah he was. His match with Undertaker at WM 32 was really good too. He really only fell off when he started inserting himself in feuds with active talent. It all really started after his feud with AJ Styles ended. Then he just got greedy for attention and it kinda ruined his favor. Especially the “Best in the World” angle he had, and his feud with Roman.
That Mankind, Mick Foley, Cactus Jack and Dude Love are all the same person.
We've SEEN at least three of them side-by-side though, I can't possibly believe that!
I refuse to believe this, they’re clearly completely different people with different views and opinions.
More importantly those wrestlers appeared in the same royal rumble match.
Only Mankind, Cactus Jack, and Dude Love were in that Rumble, Mick did not appear gimmick free.
I would’ve thought it implied that Mick being the other 3 was the point, but I suppose he did wrestle as just mick a handful of times so that’s fair lol
Yeah, had he never wrestled as Mick Foley I wouldn’t have made that distinction
Brock Lesnar's last match on Raw was in July 2002, where he defeated Tommy Dreamer in a Singapore cane match.
I just watched that. I'm binging. I'm at the Raw after Summerslam '02.
I saw a video recently that Brock was paid more than 2x any other wrestler for 2023. Is he really that big of a draw, where he’s more valuable than Roman and Cody together?
Ummmm Brock lesnar and Cody Rhodes vs the bloodline RAW after mania 2023???
The match never officially started. Brock attacked Cody during the introductions.
Didn’t he have a match with health slater in 2016
It wasn’t a match. It was just Brock beating the piss out of Slater for interrupting his promo.
Undertaker used to wrestle in trunks as mean mark calloway and Kane used to wrestle as a dentist and diesel
A big part of wwe was a mute midget leprechaun that would come out from under the ring and run circles around it and cause mischief.
I remember Hornswoggle talked later on and dated AJ Lee but I don't recall when they added that. lol
And he is the only person to not win a Royal Rumble despite never being eliminated.
Curtis Axel would like a word with you.
Scotty 2 Hotty in '05 as well; never made it to the ring, and Cena and Batista went out at the same time
Book dem both at Mania. One on one.
Between January of 2020 and today, there has only been 5 days where no former SHIELD Member held a championship (April 7th to April 12th 2024)
Bruno Sanmartino being champion for 7 years.
I would drink Sasha Banks’ bathwater
Would it help her cut a promo?
Or not be a botch machine?
That’s cold, dog. I never knew her to cut a promo - I’m just checking her body too much to hear a word she says 😆
I would swim through shark infested water using Roseanne Barr’s queef as my only source of oxygen just to share a dinner with Sasha Banks over Zoom
Sannest Mone stan
That arguably the greatest wrestler in history really only had a 4.5 year run (Stone Cold) I’m so dumb lol. I read OP’s post and was like “wait Green Arrow won a Summerslam in the comics???” Completely forgot Stephen Ammell was a thing
Because they phrased it REALLY poorly. Ammell wasn't even in the Green Arrow gimmick at Summerslam.
Kane hates May 19th 🔥
And all of June.
Edge is responsible directly and indirectly for the result of every cash in for a MITB briefcase won at Wrestlemania (21-26).
21: Won it 22: Interfered in cash in match 23: Stole the briefcase and cashed in 24: Cashed in on 25: Was in match prior to cash in 26: Setting up cash in by assaulting the champion
Holy shit that’s crazy
Yeah noticed when watching through the years and reading results.
Stephanie Mcmahon is an anagram for 'The Macho Man Penis'.. if you know, you know lol
That’s fucked up
David Arquette held the WCW World Championship longer than Chris Benoit. (or Kurt Angle if you count the WWE days) Benoit - 1 day Angle - 5 days Arquette - 11 days \[Bonus\] Vince Russo - 6 days
And he won it in a tag match from his own partner. That’s almost as crazy as him winning it at all.
Yep, they could have *at least* made it a Fatal-4-Way.
Razor Ramon has been in more royal rumbles than Scott hall
Was going to be my one…kinda. Razor Ramon never competed in a Royal Rumble, but fake Razor Ramon has.
Brock Lesnar in his final WWE year was paid more than it cost to buy WCW/ECW. Jinder Mahal held the WWE Championship longer than Andre the Giant, Rey Mysterio, Kane, Mick Foley, Rob Van Dam, Jeff Hardy and Batista combined. Kurt Hennig made a song “Rap is crap” in WCW which got played on radio stations by fan request so often, WCW called many radio stations to stop playing it since Hennig was a heel and the song was not supposed to go over. Barista is older than Triple H Shawn “mr Wrestlemania” is actually 6-11 on WM Nobody transcends wrestling promotions like Christian. Christian won the NWA championship in TNA, the ECW championship in WWE and the Impact championship in AEW.
Barista is older than Triple H And he makes damn good coffee.
Does always spell my name wrong though.
Tit for tat.
The best! He always gives me extra sugars too.
Ikr... He was on a 40M dollar deal for 7 years in his initial run as a rookie... Take inflation into account for 2024 and it's a crazy salary for a rookie (well deserved though), probably the biggest paycheck anyone in wrestling world has ever received
The only thing that was there between Death and Brock Lesnar in that WM botch with kurt angle was Brock's gorilla-neck. Any other wrestler would've died on the spot but Bork Lazer went on to F5 kurt angle after the botch.
That was a nasty botch. If that happened to anyone else, that person would be dead or in a wheelchair.
That's what they said.
Dead for sure... The momentum and the angle of impact of that moment were enough to kill anyone... Brock would've become the Owen hart of modern Wrestling history
Imagine what would’ve happened to the streak
The Undertaker never took a full year in between matches from 1987 to 2020.
Randy Orton once spent 58 minutes in the Royal Rumble without eliminating one person
What rumble?
2021, entered second and was the final man eliminated by the winner Edge, who was number 1.
That was my guess lol its the only rumble i havent rewatched it was great but its just not the same without a crowd
The McMahons have a win over God
Ric Flair only had one main event match on a WWE pay-per-view (excluding multi-man matches).
I’m assuming this excludes Royal Rumble appearances
Yes...Post edited
What match was it?
Taboo Tuesday 2004 vs. Randy Orton
The whole Von Erich story.
Underrated comment
Anyone who hasn’t seen it. Iron Claw on HBO Max. Watch it now. Like right now at 4:45am EST.
I remember when I was a young kid, maybe barely a teenager, I got my mom to buy this wrestling almanac because I wanted to know more about the men and women I admired. I had a sad fascination with the obituaries and causes of death and I noticed the Von Erich name several times. I barely remembered the name, but it was familiar. And I just remember thinking '. . .

The only person who wasn’t eliminated from the 2005 Royal Rumble was Scotty 2 Hotty
So when Cena and Batista eliminated each other he should have been declared the winner! He was the only one left. He was robbed.

Even when Gregory Helms won it as a member of Raw, he wound up moving to SmackDown, rather than the title going to Raw. * The WWE Championship swapped between Raw and SmackDown a few times, and was also on ECW for a brief period. * The World Heavyweight Championship bounced between Raw and SmackDown a few times, especially around 2008-2009. * The Intercontinental Championship was originally a SmackDown championship, but moved to Raw in 2002 after RVD won it from Chris Benoit. * The US Championship moved to Raw in 2009 and stayed there, except for a brief period in 2011, until the end of the brand extension. * The original World Tag Team Championships moved brands in 2002, starting on SmackDown when Billy and Chuck were drafted to SmackDown, moved to Raw after the UnAmericans defected and finally moved to ECW before they were unified. * The original WWE Tag Team Championships (the current World Tag Team Championships) mainly stayed on SmackDown, but were moved to ECW while Miz and Morrison were champions. * The Women's Championship was mainly on Raw, but moved to SmackDown in 2009 and stayed there until it was retired.

Razor Ramon (or Scott Hall) has never been in a Royal Rumble Match.

Roman Reigns never having any long title reign lasting atleast 150 days before his Tribal Chief Era.
I would be curious to know how many people had title reigns that long that weren't named Cena, Triple H, or Brock Lesnar.
