A Little Test - Wrestling Related

[Phil Parent]

It's simple. I've got a project. I can't tell you much about it.

We'll play a little game here. Think of it as a logic test.

Here's a list. Do you recognize any of these folks to be real wrestlers that have wrestled at any time? Can you see a real wrestler hidden behind these names? The name of the city above each list may serve as a hint.

Not saying you should or shouldn't, just asking if you do see anything.

06P #1 (CALGARY)

Big Eugene Trotsky
Heart Of Canada I
Heart Of Canada II
Jerusalem Nazarean
John The Lion
Laughing Tosser
Salesman XVI
Temper Time Bomb
Union Jack Berry
Union Jack Simmons

06P #2 (MONTREAL)

Alpine Man
Elite Athlete
Familial Legend
Familial Police
Familial Boxer

Yugoslavia Man

06P #3 (NEW YORK)

The only ones that rang any bells, more due to the city than anything else were:

Hawaiian Thunder - Don Muraco
Rocking Lover - Shawn Michaels
The Great Orange - Hulk Hogan
Crazy Texas Rancher - Terry Funk
Desperado - Terry Funk again
Extremist Pride - Tommy Dreamer
Table Taboo - Sabu
The Social Grudge - Raven
The Thug - Taz
Wham Der Bam - Rob Van Dam

I'm guessing King Giant or Mega Toyota to be Giant Baba... and the Wizard looks to be Keiji Mutoh.

06P #1 (CALGARY)

Heart Of Canada I - Bret Hart
Heart Of Canada II - Owen Hart
John The Lion - Jericho?

Don't follow Puro much so I won't attempt the others.

[Phil Parent]

You guys got some.

For starters, Adam got 2 wrong.

I hope for more answers. But my experience is a success here.

For comfort, you can tell yourselves that the folks of the Wrestlecrap board haven't even understood the idea yet.

[Briskout]

Your hints from 400 Forums

- Alpine Man fought The Great Orange at Maniacal Wrestling.
- Table Taboo and Wham Der Bam trained together.
- The Hearts Of Canada are brothers, as are Familial Police & Familial Boxer.
- The Union Jacks are cousins, and a tag team.
- Polish Sky Diver was the first to use the moonsault.
- Amateur Rob once beat Heart Of Canada I for a World Championship.
- Hawaiian Thunder & The Great Bleach fought each other 1000 times.
- Bud Stevens is an inspiration for The Great Bleach.
- Pearl Of Korea trained both King Giant and Spirit Fighter.
- Gecko Mask trained Flying Ninja and Fish Mask.
- Elite Athlete and Mega Toyota had a great World title match in Tokyo.

From your clues:
Alpine Man - Andre the Giant
The Great Orange - Hulk Hogan
Maniacal Wrestling - WrestleMania?
Table Taboo and Wham Der Bam - Sabu and RVD
Heart of Canada 1 - Bret Hart
Heart of Canada 2 - Owen Hart
Union Jacks - British Bulldogs
Amateur Rob - Bob Backlund
Hawaiian Thunder - Ricky Steamboat
Pearl of Korea - Rikidozan
King Giant - Giant Baba
Spirit Fighter - Antonio Inoki

The others I don't know.

EDIT: I thought I put The Great Bleach as Flair...

[Phil Parent]

I'll have to change Maniacal Wrestling.

And Briskout, you are very good.

The Great Bleach you'd think would be Flair.. but New York?

[Phil Parent]

Has nothing to do with current real-life promotions.

Hell, might have nothing to do with real wrestling at all. When was the last time you've seen a bloke named The Great Bleach on a wrestling show.

But there O6P folks certainly are making a rumble. I heard O6P management are pissed at CornellVerse Inc. over some licensing or something....Haven't got any details. I've heard of a Cornell VS Orange match in the works.

[Briskout]

Let's say I've read too much about wrestling history then most people should.

What is O6P?

[Briskout]

And because Phil doesn't like GDS, I'll transfer his posts from 400 over here.


Here's a sampling of Part II....

Amateur Mort (New York) - Kurt Angle
Pietro Abruzzi (New York) - Randy Savage

Daniel Johansson (Philadelphia)
Raza King (Philadelphia)

Dragon Muscles (Tokyo)
Korean Alien (Tokyo)

Black Punk (Osaka)
SCHEME (Osaka)

Bagpipes Ron (Calgary)
The Mad Arab (Calgary)

Polish Ripper (Montreal)
Super Fists (Montreal)

And some hints regarding them...

- Amateur Mort & Salesman XVI are often said to have the best technique in New York.
- Pietro Abruzzi was disgruntled when The Great Orange's era begun.
- Daniel Johansson once trained under Crazy Texas Rancher's brother.
- Raza King could also be at home in Osaka.
- Dragon Muscles fought both New York Greats.
- Korean Alien once aligned himself with Black Gangster and Black Punk, but not anymore.
- Gecko Mask trained SCHEME.
- Bagpipes Ron is good friend with the Hearts Of Canada and The Great Bleach
- The Mad Arab is a good friend and regular foes in past war of Desperado
- Polish Ripper took wild pleasure in carving up Polish Sky Diver in Montreal
- Super Fists won a world title from The Great Bleach



I expect you guys to be able to identify around 40 of them. The others will be a bit harder. Here's those I expect little of you to get, in part because none of you got them yet.

Big Eugene Trotsky (Calgary)
John The Lion (Calgary)
Laughing Tosser (Calgary)

Elite Athlete (Montreal)
Familial Legend (Montreal)
Polish Sky Diver (Montreal)
Strong Italian (Montreal)
The Father Saint (Montreal)
Yugoslavia Man (Montreal

Nobody got these. All of the others were identified correctly by someone at a point or another, on this board, at GDS, or at Wrestlecrap, some only once, but still.

Note that I won't ever tell you who you got right. That would be breaking the very legal reason the list exists. But if you guys can build a good checklist of people you are CERTAIN they are who they are in my listings, keep it, it might be useful in the future, when you compare it to data :-)



Amateur Mort (New York) - Kurt Angle
Pietro Abruzzi (New York) - Randy Savage
Desperado - Cactus Jack
Bagpipes Ron (Calgary) - Roddy Piper
The Mad Arab (Calgary) - Abdullah?
Super Fists - Nice disguise.. No clue though.
Salesman XVI - Benoit?
Familial Legend (Montreal) - Armand Rougeau?
Strong Italian (Montreal) - Dominic Denucci?

EDIT: Sorry for the Double Post.

[Phil Parent]

O6P is a wrestling organization with offices in 6 cities. I know the boss well. He doesn't like CornellVerse Inc.

As far as Briskout's attempt at identifying some names....

In that last post, you got 5 right.

Great Bleach.. Andy Kaufman? I'm shooting blanks here.

i like so dont get what that means

[Briskout]

Weden, it's most likely Flair.

- Hawaiian Thunder & The Great Bleach fought each other 1000 times.
If Thunder is Steamboat then Bleach must be Flair.

I figured it out: Phil is going to help Adam with stats by adding another group of promotions, the O6P.
