What? How? I thought Sullivan came up with the whole "undefeated" gimmick? Wasn't Tenay a big factor in them going with the streak though? He brought up it during his debut and they credited him with coming up with it.I know Sullivan said it was his idea but man I swear I've read years ago Tenay was the man behind it.

You're probably right. I guess they both took credit for it? I'm old.

While we're on tied situations LOL (not that I need the point because I won't get many answers correct) the Feb/March 1986 WWF Magazine has a photo of Jimmy Hart with "Relax With Trudy" on his back jacket and the spelling in the article is "Trudy." Not trying to contend my answer because I should have figured it was the odd spelling but it's funny that WWF had no idea where they were going with the angle in the early stages. They probably had some plans but then figured on out of shape Adrian would get over with his feminine look.

Tim Woods.
Absolutely loving this thread btw. I’m such an anorak and love finding out about miscellaneous facts rather than “how may titles has so and so won?”

Dave Batista??
I remember the promo, Flair said, "Batista man! For 57 years nobody has pinned my shoulders to the mat. And you want to be the first?? I don't think so, pal! So I would love to see you try and defeat the Nature Boy!! Woooooooooo!!!"
Then that weekend on a house show, Batista pinned Ric Flair in 4:26 when Batista blocked a chop, and Flair's hand came back and chopped himself in the face, knocking himself out. Batista then got on top of Flair and pinned him.
Amazing match!!
