Who am I? Challenge Game

[Prime Time]

Damn. Well, was worth a go!

I'm drawing a blank at who else could have been AWA and TNA. Bobby Eaton, perhaps? Was he billed from Britain when he was Earl Robert?

[PEN15v2]

Wouldn't be him either.

[Powder]

Piper? He was billed from Scotland, and then the US right?

And I know he won the IC title in the 90s and maybe another later, but I’m not cheating.

Edit. He did win a tag title later...soo....

[PEN15v2]

I don't believe there's cheating. Look something up if you wish, confirm what you're thinking. But no, not Piper either. Plus, he was born in Canada, not US

[BK-097]

is it Rikishi? The only thing I'm unsure of is whether it was really 7 years between the Headshrinkers winning the tag straps and his next title in the WWF, but otherwise I believe he fits the bill.

He was billed as from Samoa and the Middle East at various times

[PEN15v2]

BK with the win!

Yes, Tag in 1993, IC in 2000

[BK-097]

Sweet!! I'm usually terrible at gauging what will or won't be hard to get right. I assume someone will get this rather quickly

- There were 3,615 days between my first heavyweight title run and my second heavyweight title run.
- I managed two future WWE Hall of Famers at different times after I stopped competing regularly.
- I was trained by a training legend, who trained 8 future WWF/E HOFers.

[Prime Time]

Backlund?

[BK-097]

Yes. I should have saved the first clue for a bonus clue and come up with something harder I suppose.

[Prime Time]

Maybe. To be honest I thought it was worth a shout on that clue alone. I was either going to be right or it would rule it out for other people early.

Will have another one up when I've had chance to think of one

[Prime Time]

Ok so here we go.

1) I have never held a title in what most people would consider a major promotion, but I have held several titles elsewhere and am currently recognised as a champion by at least one smaller promotion.
2) I competed for championships three times in TNA/Impact, though only one of those bouts was one on one.
3) I have worked for the WWE but I have never won a WWE match.

[Gooner]

Colt Cabana? Shot in the dark, but I don't think he won a match while he was Scotty Goldman in WWE

[Prime Time]

No, don't think he ever had a title match in TNA/Impact. But a good shot.

[PEN15v2]

I think he competed in the World X Cup for TNA, so Teddy Hart?

[Prime Time]

I don't know if he works but he's not who I am thinking of...

[Prime Time]

1) I have never held a title in what most people would consider a major promotion, but I have held several titles elsewhere and am currently recognised as a champion by at least one smaller promotion.
2) I competed for championships three times in TNA/Impact, though only one of those bouts was one on one.
3) I have worked for the WWE but I have never won a WWE match.
4) I was born in 1988 in New York.

[PEN15v2]

Marti Belle?

[Prime Time]

Yes, well done!

[PEN15v2]

1 - J'étais le premier
2 - J'ai créé une idée extrêmement populaire
3 - J'ai gagné 3 championnats de WWE connus au cours des 20 dernières années

[Gooner]

Pat Patterson?

First IC Title holder
Created the Royal Rumble concept (I think)
Won WWF Hardcore, IC and the old North American Championship.

Plus he speaks French I believe...

[Prime Time]

I'm no expert in French but I think Clue 3 might mean the titles have to be from the last twenty years?

[Gooner]

Then the 24/7 title would probably count for that? Hardcore, 24/7 and maybe another?

[BK-097]

If the NXT title counts I think it could be Finn Balor.

[PEN15v2]

Gooner got it.

And the way I phrased it was it was a title known during the last 20 years, but not created in the last 20 years.

[Gooner]

1. I only ever won one title in the WWE, which was on my debut.
2. I worked for WWF/E, WCW, ECW and made a one-off appearance in TNA.
3. I won a Wrestling Observer Newsletter award during the 90s.

[Powder]

Everything fits for Jerry Lynn, except for the TNA stuff....

[Gooner]

Not Jerry Lynn

EDIT: Just realised the first clue is wrong, it was not on debut. Clue one rewritten below:

1. I only ever won one title in the WWE, which happened at a house show.
2. I worked for WWF/E, WCW, ECW and made a one-off appearance in TNA.
3. I won a Wrestling Observer Newsletter award during the 90s.

Apologies.

[Prime Time]

Who won titles on house shows.... most of the people I can think of worked TNA a lot more than as a one-off.

Maybe Sensational Sherri? I don't remember her there so she might have just done a single show. And I don't remember ever seeing her win the old women's title.

[Gooner]

Yep, Prime has it.

She beat Fabulous Moolah in the 80s at a house show.

Her one-off TNA appearance was a backstage skit with Bobby Roode.

And she won WON Manager of the Year in 1991

[Prime Time]

OK, let's try this one out.

1) I have appeared on several WWE PPVs, including two Wrestlemanias.
2) I have worked under half a dozen different gimmick names, at least three of which have something in common with the names of different AWA Champions.
3) Outside my native country, my greatest successes came in Puerto Rico, where I once wrestled Ric Flair to a time-limit draw for the NWA title.

[Powder]

Another clue?

[Prime Time]

I am Canadian.

[PEN15v2]

This is a super tough one. I figured it out by looking at all my WrestleMania VHS collections several times. Then I re-read the original clues.

"appeared in several...etc."
Nice trick. Appeared indicated non-wrestler, and then I remembered being 12-13 years old when news of Dino Bravo being shot dead by Hell's Angels....

Anyways, it's Frenchy Martin, who's real name is Gagne (like the AWA champs.)

[Powder]

I would have never gotten that in a million years.

[Prime Time]

Très bien, Pen.

The other gimmick names that relate to AWA champions were Martel, and Mad Dog.

[PEN15v2]

I would have never gotten that in a million years.

No, and if I wasn't from Montreal and from a French family, I might not have been drawn to Frenchy Martin of all people. It was a super difficult one.

I'm going to wait before posting the next one. Maybe a couple of hours, but I'll get one up. I think I'll try more inventive clues, much like the ones I used when I first got into this thread a few months ago.


EDIT

1 - My flags fly red, red white blue, or red, blue, with yellow.
2 - I primarily wore the colors of black, white, and red (with silver), though some gray at one point also when I was between jobs.
3 - I am known for my skills golf.

[Prime Time]

Every so often an obscure name pops into my head and I think 'that'll make them work for a bit'...

[PEN15v2]

Which switches things up, and is appreciated for sure.

I edited clues into my last post. I'm pretty proud of this one.

[Prime Time]

Is that Barry Darsow?

[PEN15v2]

That's it, I quit!
