10 Wrestling Facts We Didn't Know Last Week (March 23)

Every now and then, a wrestling moment comes along that reminds everyone why they're a fan in the first place. When Daniel Bryan roared back to stiff the hell out of Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn with strikes and corner dropkicks on SmackDown, it was almost possible to feel his energy surging through the TV screen.

Bryan was visibly delighted to be performing moves again and getting physical inside a WWE ring for the first time in almost three years. Fans responded in kind by cheering wildly and chanting his name, even when he was doing the stretcher job gimmick. That magical moment almost never happened at all. Find out why in this week's article, and learn when WWE decided to let Daniel do some crowd-pleasing "Yes" kicks.

Other facts include everyone from Austin Aries, AJ Styles and Charlotte Flair to The Miz, Ronda Rousey and ex-WWE music man Jim Johnston. There's also a tear-jerking redemption story from former ECW Champion Justin Credible.

It lives up to his name...

10. Jim Johnston Is Selling His Historic Equipment

To wrestling fans of a certain age, the timeless tunes penned by one Jim Johnston are part of WWE's fabric. Who could imagine seeing Steve Austin stroll to the ring without that bad-ass riff, or Razor Ramon "ooze machismo" sans some slick Latin-American beats? Johnston was responsible for all of that. Now, WWE's ex-music man is selling off some of the equipment he used to write and record some of wrestling's most memorable entrance tracks.

Listings on Reverb.com show the composer is selling off his Bogner Uberschall, JCM 900 50 Watt Hi-Gain MKIII, Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier Solo Head and Marshall 800 100w lead amps. This means some lucky beggar is about to own some seriously unique piece of WWE history.

The amp they buy could be the one Johnston used to lay down that stomping guitar lick for Vader, or the same one he fiddled around with before sitting down to rehearse the bass line for Vince McMahon's "No Chance".
