Who am I? Challenge Game

[Powder]

Prime...is almost 4 days enough time?

[Prime Time]

Certainly, have at it.

[Powder]

This one should be relatively easy. But it is a quick one to attempt to get this moving once again...

1. I took part in only 2 matches in my wrestling career.
2. My 1 and only wrestling match was what every wrestler dreams of doing.
3. My entourage included a future WCW competitor.

Mr. T

[Powder]

Nope, not Mt. T. But you are not that far off, in a few different ways.

Mr. T was involved in a bunch of matches, where he wrestled in 2 of them, boxed in 2, and was a special guest referee in 2 , and a corner man for 2, and had some other WWF appearances.

[meandi]

Well, dang. All I remember was the tag match from ‘Mania 1 which was the main event fitting clue #2 and the boxing match with Piper, which also fit clue #2. (Pretty sure there’s a reason you first said “involved in matches” and then said “one and only wrestling match” after that.)

[Powder]

Yes, your instincts for clue 2 are correct.

But Mr. T. Wrestled Kevin Sullivan in WCW at Starrcade in 1994, in his other wrestling match.

And Yes, I said took part in 2 matches, b/c that all he took part in, 2 matches, but I did not say that the 1 and only 1 wrestling match was not part of the 2 from clue 1, which it was. I did not mean it to mean 3 total matches.

[meandi]

I totally understand what you meant... maybe my words weren’t clear. The tag match (one and only wrestling match; main event of ‘Mania... fits the clues...) and the boxing match. Was a match, but not a wrestling match, hence only “taking part in two matches” clue is now fulfilled.

My new guess is Lawrence Taylor. Main evented a ‘Mania in a wrestling match. Don’t know what other match he would’ve been involved in, though, so...

[Powder]

Yes. Now you have it. It is Lawrence Taylor, L.T.

He was part of the Royal Rumble in 1995 which was only to set up the Main Event of WM9 with Bam Bam Bigelow.

And Steve Mongo McMichael was in LT's entourage, who later wrestled for WCW.

[Prime Time]

That's a bit of a reach for me. Taylor wasn't really involved in any match at the Royal Rumble, unless you count just being in the crowd as being involved in a match.

Bam Bam involved him in the PPV once his match was over, as I recall, but it was between matches, no? If I recall the whole point is that he was laughing about the fact Bigelow had already lost in the tag title match, and then Bam Bam pushed him. I don't think many people would think of LT being involved in a match at the Rumble if you pressed them on it.

[Powder]

I thought LT and Bam Bam interacted throughout the match. Not interfered, but comments made back and forth, leading up to the confrontation after the match.

[Prime Time]

That's not how I remember it, but I may be wrong. My memory is no more infallible than anyone else's and I haven't watched the full show in years. I no longer have the Network, though, so I can't quickly check. Would have to go and dig out the DVD to be sure.....

[PEN15v2]

Prime is right, is happened after the match was over. BUT, I see Pwoder's side of things. It's still involvement in the story of that match, even if it wasn't between the bells.

Give me a few minutes and I'll put one up from the turn I passed over last time.

EDT
I was called (but not awarded) most improved wrestler at some point in the 80s
For a short time, I had something in common with Terry Funk, Bob Orton , and Adam Page
I hate the letter S.

[Prime Time]

Well, fair enough if other people are going to be able to get it. I'd have personally drawn a distinction between being involved in the angle and being involved in a match, but I'm not the only guy around and if it works generally then OK.

Not sure about the question but I'll have a punt at Barry Windham.

[PEN15v2]

incorrect.
