Favorite wrestler: Kerry Von Erich(Texas Tornado) and Sting. I just can't break the tie.

Favorite Tag Team: The Road Warriors

[Maroon87]

Favorite Wrestler - Me, against my remote control, trying to see how fast I can change the channel to something actually worth watching.

NOPE! Fritz was the Daddy to the three brothers. I think one died of an OD and one committed suicide. At least one of them was a great high school football player in the Dallas area. Quite a talented family. Fritz started out as the villian of all villians and wound up as the good guy.

Did you know that The Ultimate Warrior and Sting were once a tag team known as the Bladerunners? I can't remember what their individual names were.

[kaorder1999]

The Ultimate Warrior (Kevin Dunn (III) ) ended u p b eing a pproducer of WWE if I'm not mistaken. I can't find any recent info about him!

Kevin Dunn was not the Warrior. WWE recently buried Warrior in "The Self-Destruction of the Ultimate Warrior". The Warrior, born Brian James Helwig, changed his legal name in order to maintain the name for use outside WWF.

Orton. Vince needs to stop calling Hogan everytime he needs a good PPV buyrate in order to save the company's quarterly performance. Plus, seeing Orton RKO Hogan on the car a few months back was the funniest thing I've seen on WWE in a long time.
