WWE Questions Trivia Quiz

Answer: Dumbo

The story of Dumbo, the flying elephant, was released as an animated motion picture in 1941. Dumbo has no actual wings, but instead uses his oversized ears to fly. After the complex production "Fantasia" the year before which turned out to be a major financial loss, Disney reverted to a purposefully simple style of animation and managed to recoup Fantasia's losses with the success of this production.

The title character, Dumbo, actually has no dialogue in the film, but is portrayed speaking (voiced by Katie Leigh) in the later television series "Dumbo's Circus".

Answer: She remembered Diana's car accident

I hope the names pointed you in the right direction - Elizabeth refers to Elizabeth II, Queen of England and William is Prince William, her grandson. William's mother was Diana, Princess of Wales, who died in a car crash in Paris on August 31, 1997 along with her lover, Dodi Al-Fayed when the driver of their Mercedes, who was drunk at the time and driving at excessive speeds to evade "paparazzi" photographers, lost control of the vehicle in a tunnel causing it to fatally impact a metal pillar.

Answer: John Adams

Designed by the architect James Hoban, the White House was commissioned by George Washington in July 1792. The cornerstone was laid October 13, 1792 and construction work took a full eight years until the building was ready for habitation (but not yet complete) November 1, 1800. Thus, Washington himself never lived in the White House but his successor John Adams did.

In 1814, the house burned down, having been set ablaze by British troops in the war of 1812. The reconstruction took three years, 1815 to 1817.

Another reconstruction, this time simply due to deteriorating building conditions, took place in the term of president Truman, 1949 to 1951.

Answer: Cross country skiing

Elis Wiklund was a cross-country skier from Sweden who specialized in the 50 km distance. He won gold medals in this event both in the 1934 Nordic Ski World Championships (Solleftea, Sweden) and in the 1936 Olympic Games (Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany).
In these early years, the Nordic Ski World Championship was also a rather limited event, featuring only five disciplines: 18 and 50 km cross-country skiing, 4x10 km relay, large hill ski jump and nordic combination.

Answer: Hogwarts

This question of course refers to the Harry Potter series. While all of these institutions or places exist in the novels and movies, only Hogwarts is a school. Gringott's is the wizarding bank, Diagon Alley is a hidden street of stores specifically for wizards and witches and the Leaky Cauldron is a pub where wizards and witches meet.

Answer: Ecstasy

The definition given matches the word ecstasy. The other three are: Euphonium is a brass instrument similar in shape to a tuba but smaller and playing in the tenor register. Escargot is the French word for "snail" and in English usage typically refers to a specific dish of cooked snails although any type of snail-based food can be called Escargot. Finally, an emanation is something that flows from a specific source as a philosophical or metaphysical concept. One example for an emanation would be an aura.

Answer: New Year's Eve 2001

January 1, 2002 marked the introduction of the Euro banknotes and coins. While citizens of the countries taking part in the monetary union could get some coin starter kits a few weeks before the launch date to familiarize themselves with the new money, the banknotes were available only on the actual starting date.

The banks managed the transition perfectly and in spite of masses of people withdrawing Euro banknotes from ATMs on Jan 1, there was hardly a shortage anywhere in Europe. The transition day was followed by a 2-month period where both the old and new currency would be accepted in stores, but in practice, at least in Germany, transactions happened almost exclusively in Euro by January 15.

Answer: A Catholic cardinal

The honorary address of "Your Eminence" has historically been reserved to high nobility of princely rank and clergy of similar stature. Having fallen out of favor in the worldly nobility, its use is today restricted to Catholic cardinals and archbishops in the Eastern Orthodox Church.

In the latter case, the alternate address "Your Beatitude" is also permissible. Bishops are usually addressed as "Your Excellence" regardless of denomination. A rabbi is addressed as "Rabbi", the word itself meaning "revered".

There is no specific address for an Operating Thetan; typically Church of Scientology members of this grade do not disclose their status to members of lower rank.

Answer: Sergeant

The somewhat pompous wording of this question simply asks for the rank that Elvis Presley achieved in his time drafted to the military (1958-1960). Having declined the special services posting that was offered to him (celebrities could serve in units with modified duties and better opportunities to pursue their main careers), Elvis served with the 3rd Armored Division in Friedberg, Germany, reaching the rank of Sergeant approximately six weeks before his discharge.

Answer: New Zealand

The principal photography of the Lord of the Rings film trilogy was done nearly exclusively in New Zealand and took over 14 months (October 11, 1999 to December 22, 2000). As an unprecedented and financially risky (but potentially very lucrative) measure, the director, Peter Jackson, decided to do the filming for all three movies in one session, thus also ensuring a visual continuity impossible to achieve when a project of this size is done in multiple separate productions. In his role as the ring-bearing hobbit Frodo Baggins, Elijah Wood's main acting challenge was to convincingly portray the ever-increasing weariness caused by the ring's magic, a task he has well lived up to.
