Random PPV Facts

[Little Jerry Lawler]

Ok I have a hard one. You have to be a true geek like me to get this one. There have been eleven wrestlers who have had at least a ten mania gap between mania matches. Can you name them all? Definite rep to the first to complete the list. I hope I’m right on this. I did it from memory without looking up anything. Yes I’m that big of a geek that I could do it from memory. Good luck. I won't hold my breath.

By the way it’s a ten mania gap, not a ten year gap. For example, Ric Flair would not be on the list. He was in WM8 and did not appear again until WM18. That’s ten years apart but there are only nine manias in that period.

I'll give it a go.

Bret Hart, Ricky Steamboat, Jimmy Snuka, Roddy Piper, The Bushwhackers, Nikolai Volkoff, Tugboat, One Man Gang, Repo Man, Hillbilly Jim.

I'm assuming that the gimmick match at WM 17 counts. If so, this is all I got.

 

[Mr. Artistic guy]

Well repo man isn't in, he competed at mania 8. Can's speak for the rest.

 

[The Brain]

I'll give it a go.

Bret Hart, Ricky Steamboat, Jimmy Snuka, Roddy Piper, The Bushwhackers, Nikolai Volkoff, Tugboat, One Man Gang, Repo Man, Hillbilly Jim.

I'm assuming that the gimmick match at WM 17 counts. If so, this is all I got.

The WM17 battle royal does count but Repo Man and Tugboat wrestled at WM8 so they're not on the list. You're missing three names.

 

[FunKay the Inevitable]

Iron Sheik, Sgt. Slaughter & Nikolai Volkoff perhaps?

 

[I Suck Ass]

Wow. The only name that came to mind for the WM list was Bret.

 

[The Brain]

Volkoff was already mentioned and Slaughter is not correct.

 

[Little Jerry Lawler]

I forgot about Terry Funk.

 

[The Brain]

With Funk and FunKay's mention of Sheik there is only one name left.

 

[FunKay the Inevitable]

Is it Mabel/Viscera/Big Daddy V?

 

[The Brain]

Nope, not Mabel

 

[Daniel]

Ric Flair.

EDIT: Just read one of the previous posts. My bad.

 

[Little Jerry Lawler]

Ric Flair isn't correct. There were 9 manias in between WM 8 and WM 18.

 

[The Brain]

I said Flair wasn't one of the names in my original question.

 

[Little Jerry Lawler]

Give us a hint or something, Brain. This is killing me..lol

 

[The Brain]

Ok a hint. His nephew currently wrestles for WWE.

 

[Little Jerry Lawler]

Barry Windham?

 

[The Brain]

Barry Windham would be correct. WM1 and WM13.

 

[FunKay the Inevitable]

That was a real brain teaser. Nice job Brain.

Random PPV Fact:

Alberto Del Rio's first PPV victory was in fact his Royal Rumble win.

 

[Mr. Artistic guy]

Goldust? - He appeared as a lumberjack at wrestlemania 25 with his nearest appearance being WM 14 if I'm correct, he's kindof half and half, not a real match I guess.
Bret hart
Iron sheik
Nikolai Volkoff
One man gang
Hillbilly Jim
"Hacksaw" Jim Duggan
Ricky Steamboat
Roddy Piper
Jimmy "Superfly" Snuka
Terry Funk

all the ones I could find.

GOD DAMN, I spent a good while researching that, damn.

 

[FunKay the Inevitable]

Bret Hart, Ricky Steamboat, Jimmy Snuka, Roddy Piper, The Bushwhackers, Nikolai Volkoff, One Man Gang, Hillbilly Jim, Iron Sheik, Terry Funk and Barry Windham is the full list for Brain's last question.

 

[Mr. Artistic guy]

no bushwhackers were at mania 8 and 17, no dice. I think Goldust deserves an honourable mention though, WM 14 and WM 25 cept he was a lumberjack at 25, shame.

Random PPV fact:

Cyber Sunday 2008 was the last WWE PPV without Randy Orton or John Cena in a world championship match.

I don't think dark matches count and Goldust fought Maven at WM 18.

Random facts:

There is no guy on the current WWE roster who has a perfect WrestleMania streak with at least two appearances besides the Undertaker with fucking 18.

The only guys with a perfect 1-0 record on the current roster are Jack Swagger, fucking Yoshi Tatsu whose match wasn't even televised and Vickie Guerrero if you want to count her as a roster member.

I found that one interesting.
