The 606v2 Quiz

First topic message reminder :

We used to do these quite often on the old 606 so I thought I'd invite you all to join the first 606v2 Wrestling quiz. You should know the rules by now. Once a question is answered another can be asked.

PLEASE REMEMBER - NO CHEATING OR USING GOOGLE/WIKIPEDIA OR OTHER SUCH WEBSITES!!!

To the mods, I hope this thread can be made a sticky and run and run as an endless thread.

To kick I'll start with this:


Only 4 men have ever gone one on one with Hulk Hogan and remained undefeated. Can you name all 4?

They did but it lasted 59 seconds, so outside the top 5. Good shout though.

Hulk Hogan & Yokozuna at Wrestlemania 9!

You da man Y2D2! 21 seconds. It was a trick question because it wasn't a scheduled match.

I think the midget clues helped.

Definitely Bobby!

Name the wrestlers from the following hometowns:

Grenoble in the French Alps - Andre the Giant

Asbury Park, New Jersey - Bam Bam Bigelow

Sarasota, Florida - Macho Man Randy Savage

Robbinsdale, Minnesota -

The Red Hook Section of Brooklyn, New York - Taz(z)

Stone Mountain, Georgia -

Yonkers, New York - Tommy Dreamer

West Memphis, Arkansas -

Kona, Hawaii - Crush

Helsinki, Finland - Ludvig Borga

Cobb County, Georgia - Big Boss Man

Pearl River, Mississippi - Ahmed Johnson

was it HHH vs The Ultimate Warrior?

cobb county- big boss man?
yonkers- tommy dreamer
red hook section of new york- tazz?

no idea about the other

Hobo wrote:was it HHH vs The Ultimate Warrior?

I think that was about 1 min 30 seconds. That match still cracks me up.

Sarsippius wrote:cobb county- big boss man?

Correct with those three Sarsippius

Grenoble in The French Alps is Andre The Giant isn't it?

Grenoble has gotta be Andre the giant surly

Damn you roode

Correct Bobby & Kaiser

Asbury Park, New Jersey.

is that the Jersey Shore?

I'm going for Robbie E.

Failing that Jay Lethal.

Kona, Hawaii is definitely Crush. I remember it well.

Wrong with Robbie E & Jay Lethal Bobby.

Spot on with Crush & one of the top 3 best mullets in the history of professional wrestling.

West Memphis, Arkansas - Honky Tonk man?

Helsinki, Finland - Ludvig Borga?

Pearl River, Mississippi - Ahmed Johnson?

Ludvig Borga & Ahmed Johnson are right K-PX0110

Honky Tonk Man is not

Asbury Park, New Jersey -

I'm torn between three for this. It's either:

Bam Bam Bigelow
Diamond Dallas Page
Chris Kanyon
(collectively known as the Jersey Triad or Jersey Three it think)

I'm going to stick my neck out and go for Bam Bam

K-PX0110 wrote:I'm going to stick my neck out and go for Bam Bam

BOO-YAH! You are correct!

Sarasota, Florida. Randy Poffo? I know he is from that (red) neck of the woods

Indeed he is Bobby!

In the style of Roy Walker: "You're.................riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight!"

Phew... All I remember was him being billed from Florida and took a wild guess! No idea on the others

Got stumped so had a look on Wikipedia for the answers (won't give them away though in the spirit of quiz)

Couldn't find Stone Mountain though.

Also for the Robbinsdale, Minnesota one, it has about ten different professional wrestlers listed. Are you after them all or a specific one?

Ah fair enough, I was looking for a specific wrestler K-PX0110.

The one who played the Halloween Phantom.

Clues for the other two:

Stone Mountain, Georgia - You wanna play 21? He's got 22.

West Memphis, Arkansas - He's got half the brain you do.

theundisputedY2D2 wrote: Stone Mountain, Georgia - You wanna play 21? He's got 22

Is it Raven? Only thing I can think of for the number's reference is his Hardcore title reigns.

Never heard of the Halloween Phantom.

Will send the list I got of Wikipedia to you as a personal message.

Sid?

Nah it's ok mate, I've just been checking it out myself. Never realised there were THAT many from Robbinsdale, I'll have to pick somewhere a bit less densely populated by wrestlers next time!

The Halloween Phantom was from WCW. This guy was also an 'insurance policy' for Degeneration X.


It's not Raven, the clue is a line from a promo by this wrestler on the infamous 'Heroes of Wrestling' pay per view way back in 1999, when he was a bit worse for wear shall we say.....

And the man from West Memphis, Arkansas is the Master and Ruler of the World.........."Can we start over?" "We're live pal!"

Correct Bobby!

theundisputedY2D2 wrote:Nah it's ok mate, I've just been checking it out myself. Never realised there were THAT many from Robbinsdale, I'll have to pick somewhere a bit less densely populated by wrestlers next time!

Robbinsdale is the mecca of wrestling!

It really is!

Stone mountain - from your other clues was Jake the snake was it not?

Robbinsdale - mr perfect?

Kaiser - Yep it's Jake the Snake Roberts.

AberdeenSteve - Nope, not Mr. Perfect.

Been off work for a few days, which is annoying as I've been wanting to say since Wednesday night that the first King of the Ring PPV was in Dayton, Ohio.

Robbinsdale, MN is, I believe, the hometown of Rick Rude.

It would be interesting to find out how many of those hometowns are actually factually accurate. Randy Savage is definitely not from Florida, for a start!

It's the wrestler's billed hometowns Crips, should have stuck that in the original question, apologies.

You are correct on both counts sir, for that you win a TNA World title shot on next week's Impact!

You'll win the match and the title, but the decision will then be reversed because it will be revealed that is wasn't actually Sting you beat for the belt, it was Ahmed Johnson in a Sting mask. The real Sting will then come out and beat Ahmed Johnson, with the NASCAR driver Jeff Burton counting the pinfall, meaning you lose the match and control of TNA gets handed over to Kevin Nash who isn't even under contract. Sting then immediately loses the belt to AJ Styles after a game of Rock, Paper, Scissors but the result is declared null & void after interference from Jeff Jarrett. Jarrett then tries to renew his wedding vows with Karen, but after an hilarious mishap, ends up married to Kurt Angle instead. Ric Flair then runs out and punches himself in the face until he bleeds before retreating back up the ramp. As the show goes off the air the fans chant "This is awesome!" whilst Dixie Carter smiles.

WWE--> <--TNA

Didn't mean it like that, just meant it's funny how often wrestlers are billed from different towns! I'd love to know how many were genuine. I think they're better with it now but in the olden days it was just whatever sounded good.

I think I remember that episode of Impact. It popped a monstrous 1.3 rating which dropped back to 1.2 again the following week.

Hulk Hogan's hometown was changed to Venice Beach to fit in with his beach adonis look. Undertaker's also was changed to death valley, but again was changed to Houston Texas when playing the American Bad Ass/Big Red. You could look at the British stars of wrestling who have their hometowns change to something more well known so that the American audience knows where it is on a map.

I used to think Parts Unknown was an actual place when I was a child, and never wanted to visit it as all the freaks seem to come from there.

I've got one.

Got all of these on VHS (remember them?!)

Which leaves just 2, 5 and 12, I think.

One was named after someone who then got injured and missed the event.

One was named after the main event match stipulation.

One was main evented by someone who never won a world title, yet managed to main event five IYH PPVs!

I know the main events for 5 and 12 were WWF title matches between Bret Hart & The British Bulldog and Sycho Sid & Bret Hart. And 2 was probably something to do with Diesel & Sid (Diesel & Bam Bam v Sid & Tatanka???)

Ain't got a clue what they were called though.

2. In Your House: The Lumberjacks
5. In Your House: Seasons Beatings (main evented by British Bulldog and Bret Hart)
12. In Your House: It's Time (something to do with Vader?)

Oh I know! "It's Time" was Vader's catchphrase wasn't it...?

Legend, you have lived up to your name.

Yes, "It's Time" was Vader's catchphrase and at that point he was heavily involved in the world title picture, so presumably the original plan for that PPV was Sid vs Vader for the title. Then he got injured just before Survivor Series and plans changed, but too late to change the name of the PPV.

British Bulldog was the guy who main evented five IYH events (including four of the first nine) without ever winning a world title.

Your turn to ask a question.

Name all the money in the bank winners since it began in 2005.

BQ: Who is the only MitB winner to have cashed it in after announcing the match beforehand?

Edge
Punk
Swagger
