The Rockbusters - a brainteaser for you

    I was checking out some of the Rockbusters segments from the XFM days of Karl Pilkington, Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant.

    For those who never saw them before, it was esentially a rip-off of Blockbusters where Karl would give a cryptic clue for a band or artist, along with initials, and invite listeners to guess the answer. Often the clues were hilariously bad.

    Anyways, I decided this might be worth a go to do for wrestlers and tag teams and whatnot.

    I've written three clues for what will be either a wrestler or tag team and they can be from any era. I've provided initials with the clue (although I fear this may make it too easy).

    Anyway, whoever gets the answers can then offer their own clues for individuals or teams in the wrestling industry.

    Could be fun (or a flop) but let's find out. Here are your clues:
    1. The only thing this wrestler fears is global warming. (G)

    2. If Superman has one nightmare, this would be it. (L R)

    3. This fella stayed out in the cold too long. (C W)

    Have a think and see if you can get them right. ;)

    No idea if these are actual wrestlers but I'll go with Glacier Luther Reigns and Chilly Willy

    You are correct! I knew I'd make 'em too easy. :(

    Feel free to do some yourself since you got 'em right.

    I think the first one is Godfather but you've stumped me on the other two. I'll have to have a think.

    AH! I was thinking the cards clue meant it was "Jack...." rather than "....Ace" :D
