10 Wrestling Facts We Didn’t Know Last Week (Dec 6)

Find out why Kevin Owens wanted to change his finisher back in 2016...

Brock Lesnar

For evidence of how quickly the product moves these days, consider this: Brock Lesnar beat Kofi Kingston senseless on SmackDown's FOX debut in October, has since taken that WWE Title over to Raw and Kofi is back in the tag division almost like his six-month reign never happened.

Blink. And. You'll. Miss. Something. Pro wrestling in 2019 has been wild.

That 4 October episode was a depressing night for Kingston. He's been vocal about it too, claiming on podcasts that he'd actually pitched a longer match against Brock that Vince McMahon wasn't interested in. That's not the big Kofi-related fact this week though. As the babyface is fond of saying, "Oooooooh no". There's another story inside about his early days as a phoney Jamaican that's way more fascinating.

Other facts this week include ROH dissing the good name of Tommaso Ciampa, what Seth Rollins really thought about his HIAC debacle, who made ECW's cross before that 1996 angle could become reality, why Kevin Owens decided he needed a new finish and which star not-named Becky Lynch one Corey Graves thinks was WrestleMania 35's most valuable asset...
