Wrestling stuff you took forever to notice for whatever reason...

It took a while to figure out why Chyna was called the 9th Wonder of the World when there are only seven.

 

Then I was reminded of Andre the Giant's old nickname.

Watching Cornette's Jim Barnett impression on his new Youshoot, spceficall saying "Any news?" makes Jim Ross' comment that he hear Cornette on the phone earlier in the day saying "Any news?" during the Rock 'N' Rolls vs. Heavenly Bodies match make a bit more sense.

As a reminder:

 

James Mark Cornette + James E. Barnett = James E. Cornette.

Don't worry...I am STILL convinced that Ric Flair's in ring "heart attack" was a shoot gone wrong that they turned into a "Bischoff poisoning" work

Off-topic: I don't remember if WCW actually did shoot the "poisoning" part of the angle. I remember hearing about it being a possibility through a few of the wrestling news outlets at the time but my memory is that Flair just came back the next week as if nothing happened and Bischoff would mention that Flair's heart wouldn't hold up for another match.

 

Actually, if that is the way it played out, that was some balls on WCW's part; shooting an angle that someone may just die during a match.

They definitely did the poison reveal (via Schiavone IIRC) but never followed up on it.

I remember reading that the plan was to make Mongo the culprit. There was some type of segment on Nitro where Hennig and Bischoff were caught on camera having a conversation about it, though.
