I believe him. I agree that not everyone needs them to get big. It must get old with everyone just assuming you do though.


Ok, back to the fun facts.

Jeff Jarrett vs The Roadie was an advertised match in WWF magazine, for SummerSlam '95. The match never took place because Jarrett left the company immediately following the July '95 In Your House event (after dropping the IC title to Michaels).

At this point The Roadie was left to become the "real Double J". So you would think that he was probably upset Jarrett left, considering the gimmick he was handed. Fact is, though, that gimmick was going to happen regardless of Jarrett leaving or not. The angle was that Jarrett had lip-synced his "With My Baby Tonight" song at the IYH PPV, and that Roadie was the real singer behind it.

Bam Bam Bigelow had one WWE match - and was canned immediately afterwards.

I'm 80% sure on that one.

At Wrestlemania VIII when Randy Savage was dragged out of the ring by all the refs and blokes in suits Shane was one of them blokes in a suit.

I read this in a magazine a few months ago. A wrestler who won the WWF Tag Title more than once between 1999-2002 is gay.

Hulk Hogan stole The Ultimate Warriors thunder at Wrestlemania VI on purpose.

At one time, Road Warrior Hawk dated Eleanor Mondale, the daughter of the former U.S. Vice President Walter Mondale.

Legion of Doom is the only tag team in wrestling history to hold the AWA, NWA, and WWF tag titles.

Melanie Pillman (widow of Brian Pillman) had a relationship with the Ultimate Warrior before she met Brian.

Roddy Piper was Ric Flair's best man at his wedding.

In 1975, Flair was in a plane crash with Johnny Valentine, Bob Bruggers and "Mr. Wrestling" Tim Woods. Modern medical science said that he'd never wrestle again.

WWF's first pick for the Mr. Perfect gimmick was Terry Taylor.

Shawn Michaels and Marty Jannetty won the WWF tag team title from Bret Hart and Jim Neidhart in October of 1990 at a taping for Saturday Night's Main Event. Neidhart had been fired and was filling contractual obligations, which including jobbing the tag titles to another team. In what should have been a minor point, the top rope broke at one point during the match. The Rockers defended the titles for a week after that, but then Neidhart was re-hired by the WWF, and Vince McMahon decided that the title change never actually happened, in one of the goofier decisions of the 90s, and one of many to affect the careers of Shawn and Bret. As an explanation, a story was sent to Pro Wrestling Illustrated about the rope break causing an "unfair working environment" for both teams, and hence the title reign was annulled. This was simply to cover up for the fact that they reported the title change as fact a week prior and needed a reason to no longer report it as such. The title change was edited out of the Main Event broadcast, and thus went down in history that the Rockers never had the belt.

Kevin Nash was in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2 as Super Shredder.

The Undertaker was in Suburban Commando with Hulk Hogan.

In 1994, WCW used to hire paid models and actors to sit in the audience to cheer and boo their wrestlers because the audience was usually dead for their shows.

Sheik was charged with possession of marijana and cocaine. Duggan received a conditional discharge and Sheik received one year probation.

Apparently feeling he had nothing to lose, Sid Justice doublecrossed Vince McMahon by kicking out of Hogan's legdrop at WMVIII. Sid had been caught cheating on a drug test a few weeks earlier and was going to be suspended. Sid's manager, Harvey Whippleman (who is said to have supplied Sid with the false urine sample that WWF official Dave Hebner found Sid carrying in a vile) reacted quickly, jumping into the ring and getting his man disqualified before all hell broke loose.

What?! You are wrong there. He wrestled many matches in the mid 90's, under Dibiase's Million Dollar Corporation, and then as a face.

You may be thinking about Buff Bagwell though.
