Official "I never knew that" Thread.

[Samo]

Just a place for people to post facts and trivia they either just found out about, or fancy sharing with everyone else. To get things started, and the inspiration for the thread:

I never knew that Bo Dallas and Bray Wyatt are brothers. Always thought Bo looked like a clean shaven Bray.

Paul Heyman drove ECW to bankruptcy. He's also Brock Lesnars business manager.

I didn't know that Kamala was actually American.

[Kid Vicious]

I never knew that Tom Zenk shaved his eyebrows off and continued the crazy by getting arrested multiple times for stalking his ex.

according to him he got screwed by the PPV company who refused to pay ECW the money they owed because they knew ECW couldn't afford the court fees to challenge them over it

[TopoftheChops]

i never knew that mvp was released from wwe

[kingraf]

ta Che - even if true - he still drove them there, just didnt throw them over the ledge

Adam Rose/Leo Kruger had his first match the same year as Tyson Kidd: 1995. Other people who have been wrestling since the 90's include Justin Gabriel and Fandango.

Erick Rowan was on a Norwegian reality tv show before he signed with WWE. You can also find a video on youtube of him tagging with Davey Richards in Japan.

WrestleMania 2000 didnt feature a traditional one on one male wrestling match.

Kurt Angle vs Brock Lesnar was the first WrestleMania main event to feature two guys using their real names.

From 2005 to 2010 the wrestler last eliminated in the Royal Rumble went on to have a World Title match anyway.

That's a good one.

Jim the Anvil Neidhart was signed to be a monster heel in WWF with thw view to working with Hogan but he wasn't quite comfortable going it alone so they aligned him with some little Canadian who was just told he was going to be a cowboy.

The rest is history...

The Mountie?

Before Hulk Hogan signed for the WWF, Vince McMahon was toying with the idea of putting everything behind Quick Draw Rick McGraw, placing him in a feud with Roddy Piper. Hulkamania took off and Quick Draw was quietly relegated to jobber status. He wasn't cool with that, so Vince had Roddy Piper literally beat him to death to send out a message to future trouble makers.

I never knew that Paul Heyman's client broke the undertakers wrestlemania undefeated streak.
I never knew that there is a WWE app and network or how to download them, I don't think we have been told about those before



Seriously

I never knew that the place that big daddy killed king Kong kirk was the hippodrome circus in great yarmouth until going to a muesuem in yarmouth and seeing the poster for that match

[Mr H]

I never knew how much I overated Bret Hart until I was an adult.

[Samo]

Bret Hart was the first guy to get put through the announcer in WWF/E (maybe pro-wrestling entirely).

Kane was mulling retirement in 2006 and "fake Kane" was to be booked as the "real" Kane, and Glenn Jacobs stole his identity. It was going to be used as a way to keep the Kane character around, but was shelved for being too confusing (and Glenn obviously hasnt retired).

[Kay Fabe]

There was 4 members of Demolition (not including Fuji)

Was that Bret Hart fact meant to read announcer table?

[Samo]

Yes. Yes it was.

Although now im having images of Diesel putting him straight through JR. "GOOD GOD! GOOD GOD ALMIGHTY I HAVE BEEN BROKEN IN HALF MY GOD!"

[MidnightToker]

Who was the 4th member of demolition, kay fabe? Remember duggan teaming with them at summerslam 89, don't think he was an official demolisher though?

[ncfc_Tooze]

Moondog.rex originally played smash which was then taken on by Barry darsow
So there's
Smash (Original)
Ax
Smash
Crush

[Hero]

Kendo Nagasaki isn't from Japan.

Fact or fiction


Cena nailed jesus to the cross, after he did it he admitted he was wrong

Cena flew a plane into one of the Twin Towera, Cena later admitted he was wrong

Cena built a Time machine and gassed 6 million Jews, he later felt he acted harshly
