10 Wrestling Facts We Didn't Know Last Week (Nov 28)

Did Kurt Angle turn down a huge WWE offer in 1996?

World Wrestling Entertainment has long been the biggest thing in wrestling. Even when World Championship Wrestling was on top for a few years during the late-1990's, the then-WWF was still regarded as the promised land for a lot of wrestlers. This is something which has become evident through comments from many during shoot interviews over the years. For Scott Levy, being creative was always far more important than simply holding down a job with the juggernaut promotion. It's been said that Levy, as Raven, was set for a bumper feud against The Undertaker at the beginning of 2002. It's also been rumoured that Vince McMahon was the one who nixed those plans, feeling Raven was too small to realistically battle Undertaker. Both McMahon and Raven feature in one of the facts presented here. Alongside that one, 9 other facts that even the most hardcore of pro wrestling enthusiasts may not have known are explored. For example, which former WWF star was always looking over his back whilst employed by the company? Joining that, there are facts related to the likes of Bret Hart, Diamond Dallas Page, Ric Flair, The Dudley Boyz and even Johnny Swinger of WCW and ECW fame.
