I'm glad to see this thread helping other people answer their esoteric questions. If they're not esoteric, absurd, or complex, they're not worth pondering.
Keep them up everyone!

I have only ever had one question that no one can seem to answer, Why are the tag ropes white?

Here's something I've always wondered. I often hear about Ultimate Warrior and Udertaker having a feud, but when I look it up all I find is house match results with them competing. My question is did they ever actually have a televised match or segment? yeah,they had a ton of house show matches in summer of 1991,but nothing on TV besides interviews,the Funeral Parlor segment,and that time when Taker interfered in his match with Slaughter. plus then Jake turned on Warrior and delivered him to Taker as well. so the foundation was there for a big,televised feud between them,but WWF never pulled the trigger. part of me thinks this was going to maybe be Warrior's big fall feud,but then he got fired. another thought is,maybe the higher-up's didn't like the way the matches were coming across at the live events,so they scrapped it,and decided to switch the feud to Jake instead (hence the betrayal angle). then when Warrior got canned,they had to quick switch it to Savage? it wouldn't be the first time - they had a big program planned between the Warrior and Andre in the fall of 1989,even a Brother Love segment was filmed. but the matches between them sucked,so they dropped the whole thing.

lesss of a question but more of a comment, but whenever i see pics of house shows i tend to see wrestlers wearing attires that i've never/hardly seen them wear on tv, eg saw a pic of beniot (us title era) wearing purple another example was seeing a pic of miz wearing elbow pads and white tape, anyone noticed that before?

If WWE had genuinely wanted to create a one of a kind mystique around the Undertaker, they could've done so much more than they did throughout his career.
For example: Never using photos from photoshoots. As much as he stands perfectly still at various points before or after his matches, they could easily have used altered images from his matches on any memorabilia or merchandise.

It does look almost red doesn't it? I never thought of that.

If I remember correctly it was just the one match at the end of a raw. Arn was on commentary which was cool but the match between Booker T and Buff wasn't very good.

I very distinctively remember someone posted a pic of their ticket for a WWF-run WCW show in 2001, in New Jersey I think. I remember it said on the top "Shane McMahon Presents WCW". but,of course,it never actually took place. trying to find a pic of it...
