Santino was the last eliminated. No idea about the second part. Have no memory about when he entered. 27 minutes?

Innovator 09-02-2015 05:23 PM

Santino, and since he was #39 I think, probably 10 minutes.

DAMN iNATOR 09-02-2015 05:26 PM

Inno wins! Santino was last eliminated with Alberto lasting 9:33 in total, so rounded up would be 10 minutes.

Also, anecdotally, Orton was #39, just after Alberto at #38. Santino entered just before Alberto at #37, and they were the only two he eliminated.

Big Vic 09-02-2015 05:27 PM

He entered in from the plus 30 spot (#38 maybe?).... I will guess 8 minutes.

Big Vic 09-02-2015 05:27 PM

oh ok

DAMN iNATOR 09-02-2015 05:32 PM

Yeah, I thought/was really hoping it might take a LITTLE longer to be guessed, but oh, well. No big deal.

Up to you, Inno, if you want to ask something or if you want to let someone else ask something or whatever. :)

SlickyTrickyDamon 09-02-2015 05:34 PM

That was the Royal Rumble where Matt Striker eliminated himself from relevance for marking out bro. I think they did it on purpose and set him up.

loopydate 09-02-2015 05:40 PM

I still contend that Santino should have won that Rumble. He could have lost his shot before Mania, but that place would have come unglued if Santino won.

How about you settle down Bit Killer Jones

DAMN iNATOR 09-04-2015 02:18 PM

I'll settle down when I'm good and ready.

DAMN iNATOR 09-04-2015 03:00 PM

Anyway, since we seem to have gotten away from asking questions, I'll pose another, this time maybe one which will require some serious good long-term memory and/or thinking to get all parts of it.

Now, we all know Shawn Michaels became the first-ever Grand Slam champion in WWE under the classic definition by winning the then WWF European Championship in 1997.

Part I - Whom did Shawn beat to win his first Intercontinental, WWF and European Championships, and with whom did he team and what team did Shawn and his partner beat to win the World Tag Team Championship?

Part II - To whom did Shawn drop his first Intercontinental, WWF and European Championships to?

Part III - Shawn and his partner vacated or were stripped of their World Tag Team Championship -- but what was the reason given for this decision?

GOOD LUCK!

Mr. Nerfect 09-04-2015 07:54 PM

Part I - I'm fairly certain he beat Davey Boy Smith to win his first European Championship. And Bret Hart, of course, paved way for the boyhood dream to come true. Did he also beat Davey to win the IC Title? I think he beat Marty Jannetty and Dean Douglas at certain points, but I'm going to put The British Bulldog first. Did Shawn team with Diesel to beat The Headshrinkers?

Part II - I'm going to guess the Marty Jannetty win came after HBK's first run with the IC Title, the WWE would have been Sid, and the European would have been when Michaels passed the title on to Triple H. Do you think this sort of killed the belt, by the way?

Part III - Actually read an article on this the other day, haha. Wasn't Owen Hart pinned despite not being in the match? The British Bulldog did double-duty and teamed with Yokozuna, only for Hart to come out for a clusterfuck finish? It was like the main event of In Your House 3 or something.

All from memory, so there's a chance at least part of this is wrong.

Part I - Davey Boy for both IC and Euro, Bret for WWF, with Diesel over Yoko and Owen (really Yoko and Bulldog)

Part II - Marty for the IC, Sid for WWF, HHH for Euro

Part III - Diesel pinned Owen, who was originally supposed to be in the match, but he'd been replaced by Davey Boy because Martha had just given birth, so Owen was late. Because Owen technically wasn't in the match, Cornette and Fuji had the decision reversed.

DAMN iNATOR 09-05-2015 12:07 AM

Noid got Pt. I & II, loopy got Pt. II, and both got Pt. III wrong, however it appears I wasn't as clear or thorough with Pt. III, so I guess due to that mistake, I'll award the answer to Noid.

The incident in question had actually occurred in Survivor Series 1994, when the champs had their belts vacated due to, of all things, "not being able to function as a tag team.". Pretty ridiculous, I know, but true.

So, Noid if you want, next question is yours.

Mr. Nerfect 09-06-2015 02:40 AM

Haha, together we almost got it.

Alright, here's one:

Over the course of history, tag team matches have been featured as the main event of WWE PPVs. Oddly enough though, a Tag Team Championship has only been involved in four of those main events. Can you name the matches that got top billing and were for the WWE/World Tag Team Championship?

loopydate 09-06-2015 11:46 AM

I can think of two, but the others escape me. Fighting the temptation to Wiki it.

Shisen Kopf 09-06-2015 12:01 PM

Yeah, same here.

I can only think of two.

Cool King 09-06-2015 12:38 PM

Wait, just remembered another one.

That's three. Getting close now.

Cool King 09-06-2015 12:55 PM

Ok, I think I've got it.

WrestleMania 2 (Illinois) - The Dream Team vs The British Bulldogs

In Your House 3 - Yokozuna and The British Bulldog vs Diesel and Shawn Michaels

Backlash (2001) - The Brothers of Destruction vs The Two Man Power Trip

TLC (2009) - Jeri-Show vs DX

I don't know if WrestleMania 2 counts or not, as it really wasn't the main event of WrestleMania 2 as a whole, Hogan/Bundy was.

But I'm stumped at three, so I'm taking a gamble with it.

SlickyTrickyDamon 09-06-2015 06:37 PM

WM 9 (CoMain Event) Hogan/Beefcake Vs. Money Inc. We have our list now.

Mr. Nerfect 09-06-2015 09:21 PM

Yokozuna and The British Bulldog vs. Diesel and Michaels is one. The Brothers of Destruction vs. The Two-Man Power Trip is another. Jeri-Show vs. DX is a third. I wasn't counting Hogan/Beefcake vs. Money, Inc. or The Dream Team vs. The British Bulldogs because they weren't the main event. Sorry, when I said "top billing" I meant the literal top. Last match of the show.

Mr. Nerfect 09-06-2015 09:23 PM

So there's one more.

Cool King 09-07-2015 08:23 AM

Damn, you're right.

I completely forgot about that one at Fully Loaded.

Mr. Nerfect 09-07-2015 09:01 PM

That's right. You got them all, guys.

Mr. Nerfect 09-07-2015 09:27 PM

I hope I've got my facts right on this one:

Over the history of WWE PPV -- in the case where a PPV has at least four installments -- there is only one PPV where one man has been in 100% of that PPV's final main events. Which is the PPV and who is the man?

SlickyTrickyDamon 09-07-2015 10:14 PM

John Cena Taboo Tuesday for 3 and Cyber Sunday for 4th. Same show different name.

Mr. Nerfect 09-07-2015 11:31 PM

Sorry, not the correct answer. Here are the Taboo Tuesday/Cyber Sunday main events:

2004: Ric Flair vs. Randy Orton (John Cena didn't actually compete at this show)
2005: John Cena vs. Kurt Angle vs. Shawn Michaels
2006: John Cena vs. King Booker vs. Big Show
2007: Batista vs. The Undertaker
2008: Chris Jericho vs. Batista

That's 20% attendance rate for John Cena.

It was Triple H @ WWF Insurrextion (2000-2002)/WWE Insurrextion 2003, was it not?

Yep, it was Triple H main eventing all four Insurrextion PPVs in the UK. :)

OK.

What was the first televised match under the WWE banner?

Mr. Nerfect 09-08-2015 09:00 PM

I actually don't know this, so I did some research into this. I was very pleased to discover that two early ring announcers for the WWWF were "Friendly" Bob Freed and "Smiling" Sam Morgan. Fantastic.
