On Monday, June 12, 2006 at 1:03 PM EST Welcome to this week's edition of the Armpit quiz. We’re going to take something of a break this week, and instead of doing a quiz, we’ll do a survey. The theme of the survey is “Firsts.”
Last week's winner:
Paul D. Thorson plugging texaspiattorney.com.
Last week's answers: (Click here) for last week's questions.
-The Omni was in Atlanta, GA. It is now called the Phillips Arena.
-The Cow Palace is in San Francisco, CA.
-The Kiel Auditorium was in St. Louis, MO. It is now called the Savvis Center. The question lent itself to the Chase as another possible answer, and we accepted that too.

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.
Question #1
What was the first wrestling PPV you ever saw?
Question #2
Who was your first favorite wrestler? It’s OK if it was someone like Ultimate Warrior, so don’t be embarrassed. We were all kids once.
Question #3
What was the first non-WWE wrestling you ever saw?
Question #4
This is a strange question for folks who grew up on territories, but for the modern crowd, WWE was always the dominant promotion for most of our lives.
Who was the first diva/valet you had a crush on? For female quiz takers (as if there are any), name the first wrestler you had a crush on.
Question #5
What year do you first remember seeing wrestling on TV for the first time in your life?
Question #6
Name the date, promotion, location, and main event of the first ever house show you saw. If you don’t remember all the details, then skip ‘em.
Question #7
What was the first wrestling related merchandise item you ever bought?
Question #8
When you first saw wrestling, did you know it wasn’t “real?” Don’t laugh; many of us were way too young to know any better the first time, especially before the days of the internet.
