Please test the depth of my WWE Knowledge

I would like people to quiz me on WWF/WWE history to test the depth of the knowledge of what I know. I was born in 1981 and most of what I know starts at Hogan era and continues thru Undertaker whole career. I don't know everything, but think I can give good details of a lot of things. For example, from memory, I can name every WWF/WWE World title change from Iron Sheik beating Bob Backlund all the way thru Big show beating Brock Lesner at Survivor Series 2002 and give details from each one. If this thread is epic fail then w/e, but I'd like some response.

Also fwiw I can name every WWE title change ever off the top of my head. I'm not sure that that's a brag though...

Yeah I figured as much. Surely it still beats knowing all the title changes but only from a selected portion of history though.

I also know the list of original World champions, NWA world champions, WCW champions and WHCs, although I may get the order wrong on a couple of those. Lol me.

I think I got the answer to it, but its just pure speculation from what I've read in articles, mainly 411mania.com, and I want to know OP's answer, before saying mine.

Im not sure which match you mean, I think you might be referring to the Steve Austin vs. Vince and Shane ladder match at King of the Ring 99 for control of WWF. I do not remember the person doing this ever being revealed, but that after austin lost, he stuck it to mcmahon by beating the undertaker for the title. If I am wrong then I feel dumb, but don't care.

Damn, he played an even bigger part in the death of WCW than I imagined. The WWF would have quickly gone out of business with that dumb redneck Austin in charge.

Who was the bigger draw, Bruno Sammartino or Bret Hart?

Would you class Yokozuna as the greatest big man of all time?

All right, this question might be stupid, but why did Austin turn heel and siding with Mcmahon after WM 17?

Its so nice of you to try to get another person's opinion over a hot topic atm, in this forum. Its good for the sub-forum.

I used to be a indy wrestler for JAPW, and was part of a seminar with Larry Czabysko. He talked about selling out Shea Stadium with him and Sammartino in the main event. I don't remember if Bret Hart wrestled at Wrestlemania 3, but by the time he was a huge star WWF was not in stadiums with 50,000+ seats. So based on that I would say Sammartino.

Based on similar logic, and maybe some bias on enjoying him as a kid, I would give it personally to Andre the Giant. He obviously was limited as an actual wrestler but his appeal and presence in the ring is unmatched by any big man since. If your talking as for wrestling, yeah I would think Yoko was best.

Wow that was a better response than I was hoping for. Yokozuna confirmed best big man of all time in the ring.

I may select you with my last pick in the draft if you keep supplying satisfactory answers. What was your ring name?
