Hey, Edge actually kind of does have a stable. Just that it's made up of Scott Steiner, Stacy Keibler, Judy Bagwell, Dominick Mysterio, and a really sweet leather jacket.

 

[Mitch Buchannon]

I actually looked it up myself and was like "well fuck"

 

[Hidden Blaze]

Man, Orton might leave Backlash with so much shit. He better make sure to bring a bus.

Has anyone ever won a bus as the result of a wrestling match?

I'm not sure, but I'm sure someone around here will know.

(edit 2024-10 - OP cleanup)

This was supposed to be a short one that converged quickly but it went through a million indies from bumfuck nowhere and 2 guys who don't even have Cagematch pages. I need sleep

 

[Kiffy Lube]

Cagematch doesn't even recognize that Joey Spectre currently holds two Texas Indy championships. You may need to start diggin' deeper.

I was masturbatin' all over my keyboard and had an idea you should find out who is the real 24/7 champion.

 

[Grimoire Lenin]

Who's the current AWA World Champion as Larry Zbyszko held it last before going to WCW.

 

[Chris]

Just gonna go ahead and guess Edge for that one Grim

 

[Grimoire Lenin]

Just gonna go ahead and guess Edge for that one Grim

God I hope not.

Probably some Japanese bloke.

 

[Leon TrotSky]

Okay, here's one that definitely won't end with Edge or some retired indy guy. Definitely.

It's either Edge or someone who's not wrestled in a few years.

Who is the current rightful AWA World Heavyweight Champion?

Spoiler: Who holds the AWA Title?

1990-04-08 Larry Zbyszko - beats Masa Saito at AWA SuperClash IV, becoming the last AWA World Heavyweight Champion. In December, the title is vacated apparently due to Zbyszko refusing to defend on a tour of Japan; in reality, it's because he has left the sinking ship for WCW.
1991-02-08 Terry Taylor - beats Zbyszko at a WCW live event
1991-02-27 Z-Man (Tom Zenk) - beats Taylor at a WCW live event
1991-03-10 Barry Windham - beats Zenk at a WCW live event
1991-05-31 Sting - beats Windham at a WCW live event
1991-06-21 Stan Hansen - beats Sting at a WCW live event
[1992-01-28 Hansen beats Jumbo Tsuruta, meaning the AWA WHC also has Baby Doll, Precious, and the name "The Man"...]
2020-01-19 Zac Taylor - beats Zayne, ACH, and Chandler Hopkins in a Four Corners match at Inspire Pro New Ecstasy of Gold

No one has heard of this man, but he will surely pass into legend.

 

[Grimoire Lenin]

How the fuck does Terry Taylor beat Larry Z of all people.
