wrestling quiz - test your knowledge

whosurpaddy

ok i got ths idea off a thread i saw relating to the simpsons on the tv board.

basically its a quiz with the idea being one user posts a question. someone else answers the question. if they get the answer right they get to ask another question. u gotta wait for confirmation from the guy who asked the q originally before posting another question. explained a bit better below

lets keep it wwe unless its a mainstream question most people would know like "who had the longest ever reign as ecw tv champion" no "who did blah beat for the asdf inter-australian title on 16/1/97 ". oh yea and no dominating the thread (nero im looking at you)

rules of the quiz

1.Someone posts a question, whoever answers it correctly posts the next question.

2.Wait till the question asker has confirmed your correct before posting another question(give them 24 hours anyway ).

3.Quote the question you are answering in case we have simultaneous answers.

4.If after 10 incorrect attempts the answer cannot be gotten, the poster must post the answer - for our sanity.

5. dont post unless ur asking/answering a question/confirming an answer.

6. Oh yea and u must know the answer to the question u ask

whosurpaddy

im gonna get the ball rolling with the first question. start off easyish

when was the only time (to my knowledge) that two identical belts were decided in one match, that werent tag titles. not looking for a date or anything just the participants and title(s) names

Nolimits

i think i know what your talking about.

Are you looking for Wrestlemania 10
Shawn Michaels V Razor Ramon ladder match for the IC belt(s)

whosurpaddy

yep thats the one. couldnt think of when it happened, but that was the match..... now ask away.

NeroTheExtreme

Swines! Ya started off without me!!
(hates being on the late shift in times like this!)
NoLimits! HURRY UP AND POST A QUESTION!!!

Nero

markomac316

Yeah come on hurry up and post.

*twiddles thumbs*

whosurpaddy

hey nero whats that ur always saying about not pushing an idea too quick, and letting it build up gradually

NeroTheExtreme

Letting nature run its course is one thing, but when you're pissing everyone else off cos ya can't be arsed coming up with a question, thats another story.

I vote that a rule of 1 hour should pass and if the poster of the correct answer doesn't post a question, then anyone can restart.

Nero

whosurpaddy

id be more inclined to say the previous question maker(in this case me) gets another go. but thats just my €0.02

also 1 hour is too short.

markomac316

1hour is a bit short..cause someone could be at school or they could answer at 12.00pm at night and not be back on till late the next day..12 hours or something is more realistic.

NeroTheExtreme

So that means everyone else has to sit on their thumbs for 12 hours?
Bugger this one mate, I'll do a trivia list!

Nero

whosurpaddy

well the whole idea is that it builds up over a couple weeks and a new question is added every other day or so. keep the trivia on hold for a couple days and see if this takes off.

NeroTheExtreme

Crap! I'd posted before i saw that post. I did state that it was not to be used as an alternative and only to be used while this one moved on.

I have the answers here and I'll stick them up at the end of the night (around 8.30 or so) as it's just for a laugh

Nero

whosurpaddy

The answer that Paddy had for this one was Brock Lesnar and Kurt Angle at Wrestlemania XIX.

I can go one better, but what about the Summerslam 94? The cage match? Owen Hart Vs Bret Hart?

Was it WMXIX? Kurt Angle Vs Brock Lesner?

NeroTheExtreme

Thats the answer Paddy had, I'm disputing it with Owen V Bret at the 94 Summerslam.

Nero

Hanza

I have one for all you future commentators out there:

Name both these moves:
From a running start luricanrana your opponent but do not realease the move until you have cleared his back, hook him in a head lock and drop into a DDT. What is this move called? Clue: Rey Mysterio did it on Smackdown 2 weeks ago, how ever the name wasnt mentioned.

Grap your opponent in 2 back hammer locks. Pull your arms into a full nelson and execute a German suplex like manouver. Clue: This move is not used much in WWE anymore due to the fact it is difficult to break your fall. Great Sasuke uses it as one of his prefered finishers

Guess away

Hanza

NeroTheExtreme

Well this thread has fallen by the wayside, nobody is answering questions and everyone is posting a question! I'm staying out of it

Nero

markomac316

And if you post a question make sure you know the answer..Angle -VS- Brock, Brock -vs John Cena {backlash}, Bret -VS- Owen {cage match ss94}, Bret - VS- Bob Backlund...{i know i spelt tht wrong}

markomac316

and Eddie Guerrero -VS- Brock.

Hanza

That question went on forever and it wasnt thought out to well. All you did was say Owen and Bret Hart. There have been loads. Think about your questions. I just tried to keep the ball rolling.

Hanza

NeroTheExtreme

Yeah, if you're going to try and top one, try and top the earliest one.
Nero

markomac316

The one about SS 92 I know this grrrrr it was called off cause of the gulf war grrrr its on the tip of my tongue!.

Im gonna have to think about this one.

NeroTheExtreme

wahahah, you're soooo fsckin' close and all!
Nero

markomac316

Im really tempted to search Yahoo for the answer but thats cheating...Grrrr its really gonna annoy me now!.

whosurpaddy

no no no its all lies bret harts real name is shawn higgenbottom, owens is em b.blazer and and and ok so i fooked it up. questioon was thought of in hast. disregard my question.

someone answer one of the currently open questions and stop posting more unless uve answered one. this could get really good if its not flooded.

NeroTheExtreme

Well i'm posting the answer to mine at 8.30 tonight if nobody has gotten it.
Frustratin' ain't it?

Nero

Exit

Nero's seems to be the current one. ****ed if I can get it though. Was it LA and something about a terrorist threat/bomb scare? I know something like that happened with WMVII.

NeroTheExtreme

That was Wrestlemania VII - bombscare my ass, though! That ended up boiling down to piss poor ticket sales and not having enough to sell out the Colleseum!

Nero

whosurpaddy

yea either LA of Kanzas is jumping of my head for some reason.

i know this, either nero was telling me about it last week or its on the hogan dvd. think dam u.


the reason for its move was something to do with hogan/flair wasnt it, and they gave bulldog the push and consequentially moved it to wembley and let him and bret main event

Exit

Yeah, I have a feeling Nero mentioned it on here a week or two ago.

Yep, we spoke about this a couple of weeks ago. It's nothing to do with Hogan. The original main event for it was Michaels V Hart Ladder IC
match, but due to it being moved to Wembley, Bulldog got pushed for the IC belt.

(so don't bother checking the Hogan DVD mate, it aint on it, and thats yer hint! )

NeroTheExtreme

If anyone has given up, i'm sticking the answer to my question here, it's been hours now!

Washington DC! Clipped from Scott Keith's rant on the first ever ladder match:

Bret Hart v. Shawn Michaels. This was the first-ever ladder match in the WWF, and was intended only as a demo for Vince's benefit. The idea was to do it "for real" at Summerslam '92 (if it had ended up in Washington instead of Wembley Stadium) with Shawn winning the title, but Summerslam ended up being Bret v. Bulldog instead, and the ladder match was put on the shelf until 1994, when Vince McMahon suddenly "remembered" that he invented the idea, and gave it to Shawn for his feud with Razor.

Was a tough one, even to googlize this one would have taken a while
Nero

Exit

I'd have never gotten that. Don't think I ever heard of it before.

markomac316

Well to correct yourself Bret Hart invented the ladder match it was his idea.

And since nobody got it can you post another question, something perhaps a little easier {and yes im very annoyed i never got that it was on the tip of my tongue for soooo long.}

Not correcting me, i didn't post the original comment, and it was actually Stu who invented the ladder match in Stampede to showcase Tom Billington, The Dynamite Kid. Bret just happened to be stuck in the match. The Vince remembering he invented part is Scott Keith's sarcasm.

And if it was gonna be easier, then it wouldn't be a challenge!

Name the Original Four Horsemen?
(Which is pretty much wwe related as they pretty much were all in the organisation at one point)

Nero

Exit

Arn Anderson, Tully Blanchard, Ric Flair and bollix, Ole Anderson?? Or Barry Windham possibly

NeroTheExtreme

I need four, my friend, not 5
Nero

Exit

ok, take out Ole then as I don't remember him ever being in the WWF.

Hanza

Man Nero that bums me out. U said that like a month ago. Should have gotten it.

By the way I did ask a question aswell. Does anyone care to take a shot at it or are ya all scared you cant answer it?

Hanza

NeroTheExtreme

Answer is

Arn Anderson, Ole Anderson, Ric Flair and Tully Blanchard

I never aspired to be a commentator so I'm passing on Hanza's question.
