Other facts include Colt Cabana's big pitch to WWE management in 2008 (one that fell on deaf ears and led to questions about his ambition), why King Of The Ring 1994 was such a clusterf*ck of utter chaos, which major star Mark Henry threatened to beat up at the start of his career and why Seth Rollins was shocked by Becky Lynch's social media outbursts.
