Charisteas

Ladies and Gentleman, Boys and Girls, Children of all ages. Charisteas proudly brings to you The Wrestlemania Quiz Thread 2012!

* Try not to Google the answers. Either that or try not to ask questions that are easily Googleable.

* Only the person who has correctly answered the most recent question can ask the next question.

* After say 24 hours if nobody has correctly answered a question, or if the question-asker hasn't been online to confirm an answer, then we'll just move onto a new question.

I'll start -

Q. Name one teenager that has wrestled at Wrestlemania.

duuuaaaane

A: Águila (WrestleMania XIV vs. Taka)

Q. Name someone who both won & lost a title at the same WrestleMania

Yokozuna WM9?

duuuaaaane

Ah yeah, forgot about that I was thinking of Christian, Molly Holly and one or two others at WrestleMania X-8

Charisteas

Q: Name a belt that has never been won or lost at Wrestlemania, but it has been defended in a Championship match on at least 1 Mania.

duuuaaaane

A. Same answer as your earlier question - Lightheavyweight Championship Taka v Águila at WMXIV... unless there was another LHW match I'm forgetting don't think so, Gillberg had it for most of them

Charisteas

Yeah I had to check that, but you're right!

I was actually thinking of the Million Dollar belt which was only ever defended at Wrestlemania 6, Dibiase retained against Jake Roberts.

Name the participants in the ten man tag match scheduled for WrestleMania X which did not occur due to time constraints.

Charisteas

Actually the new Millenium started in 2001 because there was no year 0, so the answer is Houston, Texas, but no worries

Omackeral

Hey Charisteas, stop derailing your own thread and answer the last question!!!

This could be a good little thread I reckon ..

You got a few right my man.
1-2-3 Kid, Tatanka, ??????? and ??????? (Tag Team)
vs
I.R.S, ???????, ??????? and (Tag Team).

Adam Bomb lost in a squash to Earth Quake.
Crush took on Randy Savage in a Falls Count Anywhere.
Bam Bam and Luna took on Doink and Dink.
Roddy Piper was a special ref for the 2nd WWF Title match.
Steiner was gone.

kiad

Ludwig Borga was one of them I think

Omackeral

Not a bad guess Kiad. It wasn't Borga though.

They had the 10 man tag match on Raw the following night. I remember buying the VHS and being really disappointed that the match was left off cos 1-2-3 Kid was my favorite wrestler in the company at the time.

Omackeral

Ok here's another to try get us back on the Road to Wrestlemania. Still feel free to answer the previous question though...

The question is as follows: Which is the only Wrestlemania event not to feature a traditional 1 on 1 match-up on the card?

jaykhunter

Is it 16/WM2000?

I listened to Review-a-Wai this week aswell :pac:

There are 3 wrestlers with 8 or more losses at WrestleMania. Name them!

Xinkai

This all comes down to longevity in the WWE really, still a great question.

My guess is;

Bigshow (Thanks Cody)
Triple H
Shawn Micheals

I've no idea what Review-a-Wai is but yeah you're right!!!

8 or more losses?! Wow!!! Is Big Show one of them? I guess early Mania's could be a feature also. That's a great question JayK.

jaykhunter

Cheers, that's two of them

Shawn Michaels (6-11) (it's true!)
Big Show ( 2-8 )
and
???

duuuaaaane

Triple H (XII - lost to Ultimate Warrior, 13 - defeated Goldust, XIV - defeated Owen Hart, XV - lost to Kane, 2000 - defeated The Rock, Big Show & Mick Foley, X-Seven - lost to The Undertaker, X-8 - defeated Chris Jericho, XIX - defeated Booker T, XX - lost to Chris Benoit, 21 - lost to Batista, 22 - lost to John Cena, XXIV - lost to Randy Orton, XXV - defeated Randy Orton, XXVI - defeated Sheamus, XXVII - lost to The Undertaker). So he's 7-8.

Big Show (XV - lost to Mankind, 2000 - lost to Triple H, The Rock, Mick Foley, X-Seven - lost to Kane, Raven, XIX - lost to The Undertaker, XX - lost to John Cena, 21 - lost to Akebono, 22 - defeated Carlito & Chris Masters, XXIV - lost to Floyd Mayweather, XXV - lost to John Cena, Edge, XXVI - defeated John Morrison & R-Truth, XXVII - Defeated The Corre). So he's 3-8.

Shawn Michaels (VII - he won with The Rockers, can't remember against who, VIII - can't remember what he did at this event, IX - lost to Tatanka, X - lost to Razor Ramon, XI - lost to Diesel, XII - defeated Bret Hart, XIV - lost to Steve Austin, XIX - defeated Chris Jericho, XX - lost to Chris Benoit, Triple H, 21 - lost to Kurt Angle, 22 - defeated Mr. McMahon, 23 - lost to John Cena, XXIV - defeated Ric Flair, XXV - lost to The Undertaker, XXVI - lost to The Undertaker.) So there's 8 loses there, possibly 9 depending on what he did at VIII, I'll resist the urge not to use Wiki!

Bam Bam was gone before WM12.

One more wrestler who lost 8 matches...

I was thinking Kane (XIV - lost to The Undertaker, XV - defeated Triple H, 2000 - defeated X-Pac & Road Dogg, X-Seven - defeated Big Show & Raven, X-8 - lost to Kurt Angle, XIX - defeated Lance Storm & William Regal, XX - lost to The Undertaker, 21 - lost MITB, 22 - defeated Chris Masters & Carlito, 23 - lost to Great Khali, XXIV - defeated Chavo Guerrero, XXV - lost MITB, XXVI - lost MITB, XXVII - defeated The Corre) but that's only 7 losses. I'll keep thinking.

On the babyface team i'll guess at Virgil and Legion Of Doom. On the heel team i'll guess Million Dollar Man and Natural Disasters.

What two WrestleManias featured American Football Players actively wrestling?

Charisteas

Did Eddie not main event and beat Angle for the WWE title at WM20, then opened WM21 with Rey Mysterio during the 'Dominick' feud?

Charisteas

11 and 15?

rossie1977

mania 2 (battle royal with nfl stars) and 11 (LT vs bam bam)

How can Undertaker have lost 8 matches if he's 19-0 at Wrestlemania. Think someone already guessed the other guy was Kane.

He didn't say final match, he said main event.

Really!?

That's some record. They should make a big deal out of that.

So it's Triple H, Shawn Michaels, Big Show and one more?

I'll guess Bret Hart?

jaykhunter

Gosh my bad, I keep thinking HHH won against Kane in XV since HHH's theme hit at the end

Kane is 6-7 at Mania
14 : LOSS : vs Undertaker
15 : WIN : vs Triple H
16 : WIN : with Rikishi, beat X-Pac & Road Dogg
17 : WIN : vs Raven (c) vs Big Show (won Hardcore title)
18 : LOSS : vs Kurt Angle
19 : Not featured
20 : LOSS : vs Undertaker
21 : LOSS : MITB (Edge won)
22 : WIN : with Big Show, beat Masters and Carlito (retained RAW tag titles)
23 : LOSS : vs Great Khali
24 : WIN : vs Chavo (won ECW title)
25 : LOSS : MITB (Punk won)
26 : LOSS : MITB (Swagger won)
27 : WIN : Winning side in 8-Man Tag (vs The Corre)

and rossie1977 and Chinholio are right, WM2 & 11 with Footballers. We won't get into past footballers then everyone from Duggan to Goldberg will be in it

for the purposes of the thread can we say the "main event" is the last match?

The Showstopper

Can you really count not winning MITB as a loss on someone's record? I thought it was harsh enough on HBK counting 'mania XX as a loss as he wasn't even involved in the decision.

jaykhunter

if someone wins, everyone else loses. Granted losing at MITB isn't near as noticeable as (eg) a title match, but it's still a loss.

May have also been some confusion over Wrestlemania 19 where Kane and RVD lost to Lance Storm and Sean Morley on the Sunday Night Heat before the show.

jaykhunter

thanks lol i feel slightly better :P can't count SNH/dark matches since they don't get the pay day (:() I'd rather not be on the card than get bumped the day of the show, that must've been such a punch in the self-esteem for Bryan & Shambo.

Is there a question still on? If not I got one :

Name 2 musical performances at WrestleMania that can't be found on a WrestleMania DVD.

Would they not still get a nice cut? I mean the dark match is usually a 'bonus' feature on the DVD which sells well, plus the 54,000 fans in attendance most of which paying top dollar, I would still be expecting a little bonus in my pay cheque that month.
