Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

Answer: Terry Funk

In the storylines, Funk was offered a spot in the tournament, but was more concerned with his feud with Public Enemy.

Answer: Revere, MA

The incident provoked a lawsuit, and almost ruined ECW's chances of producing a PPV event.

3. Including the Eastern Championship Wrestling era, Shane Douglas held the ECW World Title four separate times. How many of those title wins took place in the ECW Arena in South Philadelphia?

Answer: None

Shane's first win was over Tito Santana, via forfeit. His second took place in Devon, PA over Terry Funk. Reign number three was over Sabu, in Fort Lauderdale, FL. His fourth and final reign began at "November to Remember 97" in his hometown of Pittsburgh.

Answer: Rhino had cleared out the locker room, during a brawl earlier in the evening.

Joey Styles explains this during his TV commentary on the match.

5. Which of the following wrestlers has NOT appeared at one of ECW's "November to Remember" shows?

Answer: Chris Jericho

The "November to Remember" shows pre-date ECW's entry into PPV. Bundy appeared at the 1993 event, and Austin appeared at the 1995 event. Chris Jericho worked in ECW during the spring and summer of 1996, but left for WCW in August of that year.

6. Which of the following wrestlers never appeared at an ECW show?

Answer: Dallas Page

Marty Jannetty briefly worked for ECW during the summer of 1995. Luke Williams, better known as one half of the Bushwhackers, appeared at one ECW TV taping dressed as one of the Dudley Boys. Kurt Angle appeared, but did not wrestle, at an ECW show in 1996. He did an interview, and did TV commentary for a Taz vs. Little Guido match.

7. Before becoming part of the Dudley gimmick, Bubba Ray worked another gimmick - Mongo. Mongo was the bodyguard for which ECW personality?

Answer: Bill Alphonso

The very brief career of "Mongo" ended when 911 chokeslammed him.

8. The Dudleys have held the ECW Tag Team Championship a record eight times. What team was NOT, at one time, defeated by the Dudleys for the ECW Tag Team Championship? NOTE: This DOES include reigns during the Eastern Championship Wrestling era.

Answer: All of the above

Although the Dudleys have wrestled against all these teams, they never defeated any of those combinations for the ECW Tag Team Titles.

9. Over the course of their existence, ECW ran twenty-one different PPV events. How many of those events were held in their home market of Philadelphia?

Answer: One

Although they ran numerous show in ECW Arena, their first PPV, "Barely Legal" was the only PPV they held there.

Answer: C.W. Anderson

The first round matches were held on television. The second round and finals were held at "Living Dangerously 2000". Super Crazzy defeated Little Guido in the SECOND round to advance to the finals.

Answer: Bam Bam Bigelow

Bigelow wrestled in the final match of "November to Remember" in both 1997 and 1998. He wrestled Lawrence Taylor in the final match of "WrestleMania 11". RVD will likely match this feat one day, but hasn't yet. Foley wrestled in the main event of "WrestleMania 2000", and "November to Remember" in 1995 and 1996. However, ECW did not begin running PPV events until 1997.

Answer: Raven crucifying Sandman, and placing a barb wire crown on his head

The Raven-Sandman crucifixion angle, in October 1996, was immediately regretted by ECW. The company even let Raven publicly break character, to apologize for the incident.

13. Prior to the WWE's purchase of WCW, how many former ECW Tag Team Champions had gone on to also win the WCW Tag Team Titles?

Answer: Two

Public Enemy and Chris Benoit/Dean Malenko both accomplished the feat. The Dudley Boys did so only after WCW was owned by WWE.

14. If you were standing outside of the ECW Arena, you'd be at the corner of what two Philadelphia streets?

Answer: Swanson and Ritner

If you saw any of the numerous advertisements for ECW Arena shows in the mid 90's, you'd recall that the ads usually stated "Corner of Swanson and Ritner - just minutes away from the Spectrum!"

15. ECW ran their final show in the ECW Arena on December 23, 2000. What was the final match of that show?

Answer: Sandman vs. Justin Credible vs. Steve Corino

Appropriately enough, the match ended with the fans throwing chairs into the ring. At the time, nobody knew that it would be the last time we'd see ECW in that building.
