10 Wrestling Facts We Didn't Know Last Week (16 Oct)

What happened three minutes into this year's WrestleMania main event?

The ongoing 'female revolution' storyline has lost traction over the past few weeks in WWE. Previously, the Diva division had 3 distinct groups, Team Bella, Team B.A.D and Team PCB. The latter has splintered somewhat, due to Paige turning heel and delivering a shoot-style promo on her former team mates. It's not uncommon to see the creative team lose faith in an angle quickly, which pushes it down the ladder of importance. For Becky Lynch, the drive to main event a WWE Pay-Per-View is still strong. During a recent interview to promote the company in Ireland, the Diva noted that she's motivated by the idea of one day seeing a women's match in the headline slot of a major event. That's not the only fact Becky brings to the table this week, she also discusses her formative years in the industry. That's what this article is all about, presenting 10 facts that weren't exactly common knowledge last week. On this list, find out which former WWE star was on stand by for Andre The Giant, if the massive man was unable to face Hulk Hogan at WrestleMania III. In addition, there are facts revolving around names such as James Storm, Chris Benoit and even The Blue Meanie.
