    Are there stories of The Rock being an ass to other guys? Also who has Triple H refused to lose to and why?

    Billy wasn't as good as others who were being pushed and in 2000 needed time off for shoulder surgery. When he came back Undertaker stole his "Ass" name.
    Bit of a stretch there.

    Billy and Chuck was amazing by the way and no one will tell me any differently

    I guess so but 'The One Billy Gunn' was a crap gimmick name.

    Were WWE Ice Cream bars sold over here?

    I remember the original bars, in the late 80's / early 90's were alright. Not the latest iteration though

    Sorry to be pedantic but Lillian Garcia sang the national anthem at WrestleMania 16.
    Thank you for reminding me of that. So is it 2 WrestleManias in total it's been sung?

    When Hogan made that infamous promo at Bash at the Beach and mentioned the New World Organistation of pro wrestling, was the name scripted or did he come up with it there and then?
    I know they already had the idea but had they already decided on the name NWO at that point. It was few weeks later I believe before they started wearing the t shirts and going full time with the name.

    Why did Mr.Ass' main event push fail?

    Other than his "two words" he wasn't a great talker. He had a comedy-based gimmick which nobody would take seriously as a main eventer. It was the same time as Triple H's push and there was only going to be one winner there.

    Not sure it was meant to be a main event push. He had one main event calibre match, against The Rock at Summerslam and lost clean.

    I assumed this too. I'd be surprised if he didn't.

    Rock buried Headbanger Mosh during a promo at Royal Rumble 2000 and called Kevin Nash "Big Daddy Bitch" which wasn't scripted

    H refused to put over everyone between 2002 and 2006! After wrestling Chris Benoit at No Mercy 2000, Triple H proclaimed to the boys in the back that Benoit "can be carried [to a good match]"

    Soz, got the year wrong. He put Dave over a few times in 2005 and Benoit in 2004 and Shawn once or twice. He should've lost to Randy Orton though.

    Can someone explain how Piper is Bret Hart's cousin? Can't find anything online about this and looking at their family tree it doesn't add up.

    That was just a little before my time. I've seen the match though and it's a classic.

    I'd have been 8 years old myself when it was held!

    I do remember hearing about Roddy n Bret though. Could be wrong on the Mania thing

    Rod mentioned it in passing when I went to see him in Cork, saying that Bret came up with this from somewhere and that he really didn't understand it, something to that effect anyway.

    Did WWE ever do a hell in a cell match with a old style cage match inside that ? I've either imagined this and maybe I should pitch it to WWE or they have and I can't find it.

    The Kennel from Hell back in 1999.

    An all time great match!

    I did enjoy the Big Bossman storylines from back then. He did some of the sickest heel angles ever around that time.

    The matches....not so much..haha.

    Unforgiving 1999. There were Rottweilers with handlers in the cell and the objective to escape both cages. The dogs pissed everywhere and bumped on another.

    On Mick Corey's Hard Knocks and Cheap Pops there is an alternative commentary track from him where he takes the piss out of the whole thing.

    The Punjabi prison match was a cage structure inside a larger cage structure. WCW/NWA had all manner if weird gimmick cage matches.

    You're not wrong there. Here's a cage match (of sorts) set on the open road, featuring Dustin Rhodes (Goldust) v. Blacktop Bully (Barry Darsow AKA Repo Man AKA Demolition Smash)

    They loved wasting money on matches that the fans could never possibly enjoy.

    The Alliance to End Hulkamania vs The Mega Powers in a ridiculous triple cage setup was awful too.

    Was that uncensored 96 ? That sounds like that main event which is gold in the wrong way.
