Welcome to The Armpit wrestling quiz for the week of January 23, 2017.
Last week was the inauguration of President Donald Trump in the United States, just four years after he was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame. As we transition to the new President, this week we’ll take a look at “Transitions of Power in Pro Wrestling.”
Congratulations to last week’s winner: Benjamin Eichstaedt
Last week’s answers:
1) The British Bulldogs, before they went to the WWF, were most famous for working in Stampede Wrestling and New Japan.
2) Yes, Davey Boy and Dynamite were first cousins in real life. But they were not close growing up.
3) Dynamite put cruiserweight wrestling on the map in the early ‘80s with his matches with Tiger Mask (Satoru Sayama). In the old days you had to trade or buy VHS tapes to see those. Now you can just go to YouTube or Dailymotion and see them instantly.
4) Davey Boy married Diana Hart, the sister of Bret and the daughter of Stu. She was, and still is, a very attractive woman and played a significant part in Davey’s feuds with her brother Bret and also Shawn Michaels.
5) Vince hired the Bulldogs in the first place as a favor to Stu Hart when he took over Stampede’s time slots in Canada. It was more of a condition Stu set when he made the deal, and Vince honored it and they ended up huge stars.
6) The name of the Bulldogs’ manager was a real bulldog, named Mathilda. She loved to chase around Bobby Heenan, it was hilarious.
7) The Bulldogs left the WWF in 1988 after a real backstage feud with the Rougeau Brothers got out of hand. It all started with a rib by Curt Hennig to stir the pot, and ended with Jacques getting knocked down by Dynamite in front of all the boys. Jacques and Raymond plotted their revenge for days, with Jacques eventually suckerpunching Dynamite with a roll of quarters and knocking his teeth out. There was legit fear for Jacques’ life that Dynamite would get revenge, but Vince stepped in and the Bulldogs quit after Survivor Series.
8) Davey Boy won the IC title from Bret Hart at SummerSlam ’92 at Wembley Stadium in one of the WWF’s most famous matches ever.
9) At Beach Blast ’93, Davey Boy teamed up with Sting to take on Vader and Sid Vicious. That was when Vader started doing the moonsault, which was crazy considering his size.
10) After the Montreal screwjob, several eye witness reports said Davey Boy had to break up the Bret Hart/Vince McMahon altercation backstage. In the process, he re-injured his knee. At least that’s what his lawyer told WWF at the time.
