Wrestling Facts That Surprised You

[TrailBlazerDude]

What are some wrestling facts that surprised you when you first found out?

I’ll go first. Billy Gunn is older than The Undertaker. That will never not be strange to me.

John Cena is in Ready to Rumble

 

[RKO-Cutter]

Kofi Kingston may (depending on how much WWE lied) have the record for largest live audience to witness their first world title win

Chris Jericho is the 63rd WWF and 63rd WCW Champion, accomplishing both on the same night.

I'm sorry, what?

 

[TrailBlazerDude]

I'm sorry, what?

Yeah, Gunn was born in ‘63. Taker was born in ‘65.

Also, another fact that throws me off - Goldberg made his initial return to WWE in 2016 and has now been a part-timer for 6 years, which is longer than his WCW career.

 

[RKO-Cutter]

Yeah, Gunn was born in ‘63. Taker was born in ‘65.

Also, another fact that throws me off - Goldberg made his initial return to WWE in 2016 and has now been a part-timer for 6 years, which is longer than his WCW career.

He's also held more world titles in WWE than WCW

Both surprising and devastating: Tajiri never winning the WWE, World heavyweight or ECW World title.

Legend shit only.

 

[lildeew]

That's also surprising...and devastating.

 

[RKO-Cutter]

AAA has existed since 1992

They currently have 8 active titles, 7 of those titles were created after 2000, with multiple after 2010

Chris Jericho has been in AEW for longer than he was in WWE

 

[RKO-Cutter]

Those are always mindblowing

Like the one for me was there was a 10 year gap between Jinder Mahal's two NXT Championship challenges, that's the different between Hogan slamming Andre and tyson and austin fighting

Chris Jericho has been in AEW for longer than he was in WWE

This....doesn't seem right

 

[mitamaking]

Chris Jericho has been in AEW for longer than he was in WWE

No, he joined WWE in 1999 and left in 2005, that was 6 years, then he was around from 2006 to 2010, 5 years, next was 2011 to 2018, 7 years, he has been in AEW for 4 years so far.

Now if you mean straight, with no breaks, yeah, I believe you.

 

[RKO-Cutter]

Now if you mean straight, with no breaks, yeah, I believe you.

But even then, 6 years is longer than AEW's existed


That said, I think Saw meant WCW, which is true

 

[Sawyerson]

No, I said what I meant. Check your math again.

 

[RKO-Cutter]

no

 

[RKO-Cutter]

With the exception of Nikki Bella who wasnt an active competitor at the time, Liv Morgan is potentially on her way to being the first Rumble runner up in history to not do anything at Wrestlemania

 

[AWSMan]

Maybe they’ll bring back the battle royals to celebrate the death of COVID.

Triple H said he's looking at a smaller card this year, so even if they do they'd probably put it on Smackdown again

Hulk Hogan was on the juice. I ate all those vitamins for nuthin!
