Useless Trivia.

Was a long day at work, so I did some thinking, as you do.

Did you know, that the World Heavyweight Title is currently the longest running title that hasnt had a major overhall in design? Hasnt changed majorly since its debut in 2002, longer if you counts its time as the WCW World Title. 2nd up is the US title, which hasnt changed since 2004.

There you go.

Anyone else got some useless trivia?

Randy Orton was the 17th triple crown winner (WWE Title or WHC, IC title, Tag Titles).

Jeff Hardy has never won at Wrestlemania, he is 0-5.

Fair enough that it is quite a kayfabe achievment but knowing it is not going to get you laid or make you rich.

I know that Edge has only been beaten once at Wrestlmania, and that was by the Undertaker.

Chyna turned face and then heel at the same Wrestlemania. As far as I know she is the only person to do this.

Hulkamania will live forever, except between 1996 and 1999 when it died.

I was mocking the fact that everytime Hogan tells the WM3 story, Andre's size changes.

Fair enough.

I know he had just been through a match with Cena, but why couldn't he be number 30 instead of the Big Show?

He would've broken the record for most eliminations had he gotten Show's eliminations.

One of my fondest memories of post fingerpoke WCW are the Nitros where Ernest "The Cat" Miller was commissioner at the time and hired the Jung Dragons to keep him sharp and prepare him for ambush attacks. The Jung Dragons would drop down from the ceiling backstage or jump out from behind crates and "The Cat" would fight them off in increasingly funny ways.
