Trivia question: what two superstars did jericho beat to become the undisputed champ?

 

The Rock (WCW AKA World Champion) and Austin (WWF Champion)

Trivia Question: Which Former D-X members never had an I.C. championship reign?

Hint: there's four of them, but only one was a full-time wrestler.

 

That didnt take long...

 

x-pac

 

Stephanie McMahon
Tori?

 

Kane?

 

Yup....those three and Mike Tyson (if you count his involvement in the HBK/Austin championship fued)

 

Nope. He had an IC title run, and don't think he ever was a part of DX with the X-Pac thing.

 

What about Road Dogg and Billy Gunn?

 

Both had IC title runs (in typical Russo fashion, they did a buildup where Dogg was in an angle for the hardcore title and Gunn was going for the IC title, then SWERVE! and Dogg won the IC title while Gunn got the hardcore belt. That wacky Russo!).

Fun fact: Billy Gunn is the name of a test cricketer in England. Test cricket, apparently, being the version of the sport that takes up to five days to complete, though don't let me stop you if you're already thinking of Billy Gunn, Test and paddles.

 

From the Meltz:

I dunno, though. If they go by legit results, there's a chance that Hardy's cultic fans might push him to the top. It also seems obvious that it's too early for an Orton-HBK title match, because right now the thing is HBK getting his revenge (and apparently dressing like Steve Irwin). Figure on a screwy finish, but there's almost no chance Orton drops the belt here, no matter who he faces.

Turned out the HHH-is-Superman booking actually had a point this time, and it wasn't to establish him as the unbeatable god of WWE. After a brief intermission with Orton, he's back to his originally scheduled feud with Umaga. Surprisingly keen booking by WWE on this point, since the evident panic move would be to put HHH in Cena's spot and move on. Hope HBK isn't pushing himself by coming back sooner than expected.

 

Thought the same thing when watching Umaga's beatdown last night ... solid move to keep their feud going and let someone else step up with Orton.

Of course it was one of the Kliq. :
