Name me somebody who has turned face, and then turned heel at the same Wrestlemania.

Chris Jericho at WrestleMania XIX

I just watched that match, it was fantastic. I think it is good when a match is won with a classic pin.

Another question...

What match has gone from main eventing a PPV, to being the opening match for the next one?

CM Punk vs Undertaker closed the show at Breaking Point and opened the show at Hell in a Cell?

Correct.

here's another couple:

Which Wrestlemania did not feature a traditional male singles match?

What match was the first Wrestlemania main event to feature 2 competitors that used their real names?

Which 2 current WWE Superstars were bodyguards to celebrities ?

Here's mine:

I wasn't having a go

I got my question from that same article as well.

ahh ok leak! its a good site , just don't agree with what some of them say. Just out of interest , does anyone else ( who don't read BR) know the answers?

im assuming you mean 1v1 with no stipulation, so im going to guess Mania 17.

Kurt Angle vs Brock Lesnar at 19?

samo , the Angle/Lesnar one is correct , but the WM singles one is not im afraid

This is not who I am talking about. I gather this is the one where he lost to Shawn Michaels, they hugged at the end before Jericho kneed him in the groin. Im not sure if that counts as turning face then turning heel. That would be more of a heel conning Michaels and the crowd for a split second. If that counts then fair enough you are right but there is someone else who did it properley. They went into a certain Wrestlemania as a heel. Turned face at one point, and then later on in the show (a few matches later) they turned heel again and left as a heel.

So my question is still on although I welcome anybody else with any trivia questions.

Is it HHH at Wrestlemania XV? Briefly reuniting with Chyna before screwing X-Pac and joining the Corporation?

Sheamus was a body guard for U2 I do believe, and Brodus Clay was Snoop Doggs for a while his name is taken from Snoops real name of Calvin Brodus.

Yeah I saw. I think we posted answers at the same time

The bodyguard question;

One is Sheamus?

Not quite right but close. And seeing as no-one else has guessed I will give you the answer.

Chyna.

Triple H was of course face at the start, heel at the end. Chyna started the night as a member of the Corporation and a valet to Kane. She then turned on Kane in his match with Triple H and rejoined DX making her a face. An hour or so later, Triple H and Chyna cost X Pac his match with Shane McMahon and joined the Corporation, meaning Chyna was back to being a heel.

This is just a general question that i never knew the answer and im sure someone can answer.

When was the first time the Undertaker used the American Bada%$ gimick? was it Judgement day when he came out in the Rock HHH match? also if thats the case when was the last time we saw him on tv prior to that and what gimick did he have then?

You are right the American Badass Undertaker debuted at Judgement Day 2000 during the final minutes of the Iron Man match between HHH and The Rock.

Prior to this his last appearance had been on a Smackdown or RAW in September of 1999 where Vince had a go at him for sending Mideon and/or Viscera in his place for a match. Undertaker balks at Vince's telling off so Vince suspends him and Taker walks off saying something along the lines of Vince regretting it.

His gimmick was post Corporate Ministry and he had been tagging with The Big Show against combinations of X-Pac/Kane and Rock/Foley. His gimmick was similar to late 1998 in that he was clearly still the Undertaker, but the fantastical elements of his character had been toned down massively already. He was a heel at the time and "training" Big Show to be the monster that he could be.

Even further off topic I know but I have a couple of questions about that period if you can answer Don. First I was watching a smackdown from that time recently and Show was livid, laid out Paul Bearer but then Taker stopped him with a quiet word in his ear, did we ever find out what Taker had over the Big Show or if he was controlling him or something?

Also that sounds a really understated way to remove one of the top wrestlers for almost a year (SCSA was run over at about the same time). Why didn't they do something a bit more extreme to get rid of him (normally he just gets buried alive)?

I'll answer the second part first...

I've read that Taker initially was going to be written out in an angle to set up his dramatic return but his need for time away was great and things just got accelerated. In addition to this Taker had only just been buried alive in December of 1998 and come back as Ministry Undertaker so maybe using the same gimmick twice so soon played a part. Also the fact was that the WWF had evolved by 1999 that a supernatural angle (especially after the awful Ministry stuff) might not cut it anymore. This makes sense if you consider just how drastic a departure his American Badass gimmick was from the Undertaker gimmick and how little detail of his pre-Badass history was acknowledged on screen.

As for Big Show-Taker-Whispering...

Basically Undertaker had gotten into Big Show's head about becoming the monster he should be, promising that if Big Show followed Taker's advice, Show would become the most dominant WWF superstar of all time. Taker would go on to basically put Show in increasingly difficult situations and expect him to find his way out of said situations alone. (This was more to cover for Undertaker's injuries.)

Big Show eventually got upset by Taker abandoning him in Tag Matches or berating him for mistakes. I think the segment you mention, Big Show calls out Undertaker, but gets Bearer instead who takes a beating for coming alone. Undertaker's whispering is him reminding Big Show of their deal I guess or sayign he was pleased with Show's treatment of Bearer.

It was all quickly forgotten once Taker went on his sabbatical.

I have a question........... what was the final Hell in a cell match that participants broke out of the cell during the match?

djcc2004 wrote:I have a question........... what was the final Hell in a cell match that participants broke out of the cell during the match?

That would be the first Hell in a Cell match between Undertaker & Shawn Michaels.

I think a camera man got hurt inside the cell so they had to open the door to get him out, so Shawn ran out of the cell and the Undertaker followed after him.

I know i asked the question to find out but i know that is not the answer! mankind and taker broke out of the cell.... and HHH and cactus jack did aswell

HHH vs Jericho was the last to be fought on top of the cell , and DX/Legacy HIAC 2009 was the last to be fought partly outside: locking HHH and DiBiase out

Easy question for you

Which former 2 time WWF champion was Dwayne 'the Rock' Johnson's cousin ?

Sorry I misread the question. I thought it was first not last, my bad.

Who was the first champion to use the new wwf belt? the attitude era one, that came after the eagle belt

The 1st version in blue wasn't to my taste, but the black version was the nicest looking world title ever.

Who holds the record for the most WWF/E Hardcore title reigns ?

Its funny because even with Raven's 26 reigns, when I think of that title I will always remember Crash holly first and foremost.

(Then the backstage skits at WM 18, "Stand back theres a new Champion coming though!")

Yeah Im actually suprised by that. If King Beer hadnt answered it correctly then I would be like: "That ones easy - Crash Holly!"

Just goes to show that number of title reigns means squat compared to quality of title reigns.

Think Crash held it about 22 times ?
