On Monday, February 27, 2006 at 6:27 PM EST Welcome to this week's edition of the Armpit wrestling quiz. Since last week was Presiden't Day, I thought we'd get a little serious this week and do a quiz on "Politicians in Wrestling." This might be a real hard quiz for some of you, but the answers should all be on the internet if you Google them. If not, then just guess. Many people have won the quiz before just by guessing on questions they were unsure of.
Last week's winner:
Joe, and his plug is “Joe luvs Kim.”
Last week's answers: (Click here) for last week's questions.
-The most recent TNA champ before Christian who wasn't named Jeff Jarrett was Rhino.
-In 1992, Sting defeated Lex Luger to win the WCW title. Luger then left WCW, got in a bad motorcycle accident, and signed with the World Bodybuilding Federation while he recuperated.
-On the same night Jake Roberts debuted in WCW, Ron Simmons won the WCW title. You can question that business decision, but you cannot question that the angle was great.
-In May of 1984, Flair lost his title to Kerry Von Erich.
-Lesnar won his first WWE title by defeating the Rock. The Lesnar-Rock match did a good buyrate, hyped by videos that Heyman put together based on the athletic training backgrounds of both wrestlers. This type of hype was very successful, so of couse WWE never did it again.
-Hogan never held the AWA title during his career.
-Benoit left WCW because Kevin Sullivan was named booker, and there is legit heat between the two for personal reasons.
-Undertaker won his first WWF title by pinning Hulk Hogan. Go back and watch that match again, and look at Hogan's physique. Look at Hogan's physique today (or Undertaker's, for that matter), 14 years later. It's amazing what science can do.
-Eddy Guerrero beat Brock Lesnar to win his first WWE title. If Lesnar ends up in TNA, then let's play a game of counting how many times WWE will air footage of Eddy pinning Lesnar.
Here are this week's questions. Please email your answers to Quiz@ArmpitWrestling.com. The first person to get all the correct answers to me will be declared the winner and have his/her name listed next week along with anything he/she wants to plug. Remember, once you win, you cannot win again for 3 more weeks. That's our Dr. Keith Rule.
Question #1
1. I actually have footage of this somewhere, but no clue which tape it's on. In 1992, Ric Flair did some campaigning for the Presidential election. Whom did he campaign for? (Hint: your choices are George Bush Sr, Bill Clinton, and Ross Perot) (Another hint: it's in Flair's book, and Flair also spent an entire train ride talking to this person one time)
Question #2
2. When Wahoo McDaniel played little league baseball as a kid, his coach was a former US President. Which president was it?
Question #3
3. I'll never forget the reaction at work the day following the victory of Jesse Ventura in his bid for Governor of Minnesota. "What a joke," people kept saying. Jesse ran under which political party?
Question #4
4. Contrary to the "What a joke" comments, Jesse's run for Governor was not his first forray into politics. Earlier in the 90s, Jesse was Mayor of what city in Minnosota?
Question #5
5. Rumor has it Bill Clinton used to watch some of the Monday night wars in the White House. Which wrestling promotion (WWF or WCW) once hired a Bill Clinton look-a-like as comedy relief during a PPV in the mid 90s? He didn't wrestle or anything; just sat in the stands and was interviewed by one of the announcers as a goof.
Question #6
6. Jesse Ventura sparked controversy during his Governorship when he did an angle with the WWF. Name the PPV (and year) Jesse worked for while he was Governor. (Note: Jesse did another angle later on during a Raw broadcast in Minnesota. This question is asking about the PPV and angle that happened long before that.)
Question #7
7. One man once did an angle with WWE (on Raw, I think) who later went onto become Governor of California. Name this man.
Question #8
8. Name the US President whom Mr. Wrestling II will always be linked with. There's even a famous press photo of the two together.
Question #9
9. True or False: Ric Flair once had lunch with current President George Bush.
Question #10
10. In his book, and in many interviews in the past, Ric Flair hinted at a future possible run for Governor... of which state?
