Answer
Here's a bunch of random facts I found.
Only Wrestler to Lose 2 Belts at the same WrestleMania:
Kurt Angle (WM 16)
The next highest undefeated streak at Wrestlemania behind the Undertaker is Rob Van Dam at 4-0.
Edge was the highest before losing to Taker and Cena was also 4-0 I believe when he lost to Orton in the three way.
In past years, the entrant after Triple H has won the Royal Rumble.
2006: Triple H entered #1 and Rey Mysterio, the winner, entered at #2.
2008: Triple H entered #29 and John Cena entered #30 and won.
2009: Triple H was the #7 entrant and Randy Orton, who entered at #8, went on to win it.
Shawn Michaels was the first person in a Rumble match to go to the top rope.
Stan Hansen was nearly blind without glasses.
Fred "Tugboat/Shockmaster" Ottman, Dusty Rhodes and Jerry Sags are all brothers-in-law.
Scott Hall accepted Justin Credible's offer to be his best man, but he failed to get in contact with Justin before the wedding and ended up No Showing.
The original choice for the character of the Red Rooster was Curt Hennig.
WWE referee Scott Armstrong is brothers with former WWE wrestler The Road Dogg Jesse James. They are both sons of the legend "Bullet" Bob Armstrong.
Survivor Series 1998, and 2002 did not hold any Traditional Survivor Series Elimination Matches on its card.
**Buff Bagwell, before becoming a wrestler was a model, exotic dancer and acted in a few adult movies.
**Bagwell had calf implants in 1995 but they later leaked and had to be removed.
**Seventeen months is the age gap between the Steiner Brothers. They have a sister named Crystal.
**Leatherface caused the scar on Mick Foley's left arm.
**Shawn Michaels is a huge Garth Brooks fan.
**Michaels and Marty Jannetty won the WWF tag team title from Bret Hart and Jim Neidhart in October of 1990 at a taping for Saturday Night's Main Event. Neidhart had been fired and was filling contractual obligations, which including jobbing the tag titles to another team. In what should have been a minor point, the top rope broke at one point during the match. The Rockers defended the titles for a week after that, but then Neidhart was re-hired by the WWF, and Vince McMahon decided that the title change never actually happened, in one of the goofier decisions of the 90s, and one of many to affect the careers of Shawn and Bret. As an explanation, a story was sent to Pro Wrestling Illustrated about the rope break causing an "unfair working environment" for both teams, and hence the title reign was annulled. This was simply to cover up for the fact that they reported the title change as fact a week prior and needed a reason to no longer report it as such. The title change was edited out of the Main Event broadcast, and thus went down in history that the Rockers never had the belt.
**Road Dogg Jesse James (BG James) fought in Desert Storm.
**Before becoming a wrestler, Sean Morley (Val Venis) used to race Motocross.
**Ahmed Johnson played in the NFL for the Dallas Cowboys.
**Faarooq (Ron Simmons) was an All American linebacker at Florida State University.

**Terri was a hair stylist for the Larry King show prior to wrestling.
**Raven was a manager in the WWF that went by the name Johnny Polo. Under this name he managed the Quebecers and Adam Bomb. He left the WWF because he wanted to wrestle, not do office stuff.

Who was that spooky but sexy lady - back in the 90s. She always seemed to show up on TV?
Q. she had black hair, huge boobs, spooky make-up. She looked like a Munsters or Addams family chick.
Answer
You are talking about Elvira.
Cassandra Peterson (born September 17, 1951) is an American actress best known for her on-screen horror hostess character Elvira, Mistress of the Dark. She gained fame on Los Angeles television station KHJ wearing a black, gothic, cleavage-enhancing gown as host of Movie Macabre, a weekly horror movie presentation. Her wickedly vampish appearance is offset by her comical character, quirky/quick-witted personality, and valley girl-type speech.
In the late spring of 1981, five years after the death of Larry Vincent (who starred as host Sinister Seymour of a local Los Angeles weekend horror show called Fright Night), show producers began the task of bringing the show back. Deciding to use a female host, producers asked 1950s horror host Maila Nurmi to revive The Vampira Show. Nurmi worked on the project for a short time, but eventually quit when the producers would not hire Lola Falana to play Vampira. The station continued with the project and sent out a casting call. Peterson auditioned against 200 other horror hostess hopefuls, and won the role. Producers left it up to her to create the role's image. She and best friend Robert Redding came up with the sexy punk/vampire look after producers rejected her original idea to look like Sharon Tate in The Fearless Vampire Killers.
Unable to continue with the Vampira character, the name Elvira was chosen. What followed was Elvira's Movie Macabre featuring a quick-witted valley-girl type character named Elvira, Mistress of the Dark. With heavily-applied pancake horror make-up and a towering black beehive wig concealing her flame-red hair, the transformation from Cassandra Peterson to the sexy "Elvira" was so drastic that no one ever recognized her out of costume.
The Elvira character rapidly gained notoriety with her tight-fitting, low-cut black gown which showed more cleavage than had ever appeared on local Los Angeles television before. The movies featured on Elvira's Movie Macabre were always B grade (or lower). Elvira reclined on a red Victorian couch, introducing and often interrupting the movie to lampoon the actors, the script, and the bad editing. Adopting the flippant tone of a California valley-girl, she brought a satirical, sarcastic edge to her commentary without ever being crass or mean-spirited. Like a macabre Mae West, she reveled in dropping risqué double entendres as well as making frequent jokes about her eye-popping display of cleavage. In an AOL Entertainment News interview, Peterson revealed, "I figured out that Elvira is me when I was a teenager. She's a spastic girl. I just say what I feel and people seem to enjoy it." Her campy humor, obvious sex appeal, and good-natured self-mockery endeared her to late-night movie viewers as her popularity soared. At the same time, Elvira was embraced as an icon of the waning 1980s punk movement as well as the emerging Goth subculture.
