Not entirely no.

 

[Mustang Sally]

Was reading that Drew Galloway is making his first wrestling appearance since leaving WWE for British Championship Wrestling on August 29th in Scotland.

That's less than 90 days after being canned by Vince. Isn't a performer precluded from performing by that non-compete clause nonsense? Or does that apply only to wrestling on American soil?

Then again, maybe the clause is waived for certain performers, as it was for Kurt Angle, who didn't have to wait.

90 days is for companies with television or PPV I believe. It's why Curt Hawkins is showing up to PWG soon.

Who should win the WWE World Heavyweight Championship at Money in the Bank?

It's just for stuff that is filmed/released on PPV/DVD. Otherwise WWE would basically be preventing people from making a living.

Cena.

Don't they keep paying them during the 90 days?

 

[klunderbunker]

Not that I'm aware of though they might.

 

[Dan Severn's Moustache]

If Shield don't take MITB, who will?

 

[klunderbunker]

I would have said Barrett until last night.

Problem is, if they have Rollins and Ambrose planned for a non-title feud, no-one in the match has a good claim. The best out of them is Swagger who seems to be having a minor push, but I'm doubtful WWE will hotshot him another championship.

 

[Hollywood Naitch]

On Wikipedia it says that WCW had a tag team ladder match between Konnan/Rey Mysterio and Alex Wright/Disco Inferno on Nitro, October 2nd 2000

and instead of competing for a belt, they fought for A CERAMIC DUCK

Did this really happen?!

Rollins likely gets it due to the injury.

Yep. It was the Disco Duck.

How many actual brother tag teams are there??

Off the top of my head there are

The Hardys
Cody Rhodes and Goldust
Briscoe Brothers (ROH)
The Usos
Steiner Brothers

I'm not sure if Bret and Owen, the Funk Brothers or the Briscos tagged together.

 

[klunderbunker]

All three did and there are a bunch more from the 70s/80s.

 

[Vega]

Colons and Young Bucks spring to mind.

 

[The Fabulous Rougeau's]

I know there not brothers in real life but I think I remember WWE promoting Edge and Christian as brothers during there early years in the WWE.

Is that true?
If so when did they stop promoting them as brothers?

 

[klunderbunker]

Yeah they were billed as brothers.
Sometime after their singles runs started.

 

[Bockwinkel's Class]

All three did and there are a bunch more from the 70s/80s.

And plenty of storyline "brothers" like the Valiants as well.

 

[George Steele's Barber]

Did TNA wrestlers suffer a greater number of injuries or more serious injuries during their six sided run?

 

[klunderbunker]

Not that I recall.

No question, just thought you would appreciate this quite a bit:

[klunderbunker]

Yep. Rather awesome with the charity stuff.

 

[Hollywood Naitch]

Yep. It was the Disco Duck.

Eh? Fill me in on what the hell the Disco Duck was, and why they were fighting over it? This sounds strange, even by WCW standards...

 

[klunderbunker]

Disco Inferno's mascot. He basically said he could get anything over and picked a duck. There's nothing more to it than that if memory serves me right.
