On Tuesday, May 30, 2006 at 11:53 AM EST Welcome to this week's edition of the Armpit quiz. This Memorial Day quiz is dedicated to our troops overseas, many of whom are wrestling fans and are reading this right now. We love and support you guys, and you’re in our hearts today and forever.
This week’s quiz is called, “Name That Trainer,” and is yet another idea inspired by quiz-taker Duane Radmore. This could be tough, but we’ll try to make it manageable.
Last week's winner:
The Guru, plugging TheFinishers.com.
Last week's answers: (Click here) for last week's questions.
-RVD used “Walk” by Pantera, later covered by Kilgore. Either answer was accepted. We got many emails from people who didn’t like Pantera being called a hair band. Pantera did a great job of hiding their past, because apparently these people are unaware of Pantera’s look and sound before they hit it big. News flash: Pantera were as glam as glam could be back in the ‘80s. You know, when Rex was “Rex Rocker” and Phil Anselmo had his hair sprayed and teased to the sky. Not that this is a bad thing, because I’m a mega-fan of the 1980s Sunset Strip metal scene and am one of its historians. To see pictures of Pantera like you’ve never seen them before, check out this link: http://www.metalsludge.tv/home/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=816&Itemid=39
-Balls Mahoney used “Big Balls” by AC/DC.
-Tommy Dreamer used “Evenflow” by Pearl Jam. For those who asked, he also used “Man in the Box” by Alice in Chains (who used to open for Poison, by the way) years later. And yes, I did goof up. DDP used a Nirvana ripoff song, not a Pearl Jam ripoff song. Chris Jericho is the one who used a Pearl Jam ripoff song.
-Sandman used “Enter Sandman” by Metallica.
-Raven came out to “Come Out and Play” by Offspring.
-The show-closing music in 1995 ECW TV was from the movie “Pulp Fiction.”
-Spike Dudley used “Highway to Hell” by AC/DC.
-Public Enemy used “Here Comes the Hotstepper.”
-The Ruffneck was Mr. Hughes.
-November to Remember used “November Rain.”
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. We're not calling this the "Dr. Keith Rule" again until Keith subscribes to Sirius satellite radio, which is an inside joke that should be kept outside, but we're putting it inside anyway.
