The Armpit Wrestling Quiz for the Week of April 3, 2017

I thought WrestleMania 33 would never end, but it was a good show and very enjoyable.  Our predictions were about 50/50, which is about as good as anyone could’ve possibly guessed because they threw in some surprises in unexpected places.

With the retirement of Mark Calaway, this week’s quiz is on “The Undertaker.”

 

Congratulations to last week’s quiz winner: Wes Connor

Last week’s answers:

1) Jim Ross got his start in pro wrestling as a referee.

2) Jim paid his dues in Mid South Wrestling under Bill Watts.

3) Eric Bischoff was not announcing for the NWA when they purchased the UWF.

4) Jim was demoted to selling radio ads for WCW when Eric Bischoff took over the company.

5) Jim’s debut in WWF was memorable because he wore a toga at WrestleMania IX.

6) Jim was re-hired after his first WWF firing because Vince McMahon was busy with the steroid trial and couldn’t announce Raw anymore, so Ross was hired for the role.

7) Jim’s heel turn was not one of WWF’s finer moments, as he brought back the fake Razor Ramon and Scott Hall, and it bombed live.

8) Ed Ferrara impersonated Jim Ross and his Bells Palsy on WCW Nitro.  Prick.  The two are on good terms and Ed did Ross’s podcast last year.

9) True, Jim Ross announced for the XFL.

10) Jim’s most recent WWE firing was because he made inappropriate remarks at a WWE 2K14 event with Mick Foley and Ric Flair.

 

This week’s questions:

 

  1. On the national scene, the first time the Undertaker came onto the scene was in WCW under the name Mean Mark Callous. There’s a memorable moment at Clash of the Champions X where Road Warrior Hawk was stiffing him (since he was the green new guy), which was a huge mistake because Mark’s partner was Dan Spivey, and he was not a man to be messed with. As a receipt, Spivey destroyed Hawk with a chair, and they were full-on blows to the head.  What were Mark and Spivey called?

 

  1. a) Towers of Doom
  2. b) Twin Towers
  3. c) Skyscrapers
  4. d) Double Trouble

 

  1. Undertaker made his on-camera WWF debut at Survivor Series 1990, and anyone who saw it live will never forget it.
