Alright, I have re-opened the Mailbag section with the help of two individuals, Kayfabe and Grandpa. Hopefully, it will work out better this time, as the above individuals will handle the great BULK of the emails.

Here are the steps to take if you like your question answered in the Mailbag section:

1. Please check to see that your question(s) have not been answered on any other sections of the page. Take great note of the FAQ Part I and FAQ Part II as well as the mailbag archives at the bottom of the page. .
2. Send a legibly written question or comment to mailbag@rajah.com. Please limit yourself to only one question per person per email. This allows us to update the mailbag more frequently.
3. ALL email sent there may potentially be included in the Mailbag. If you do not want your response posted, do NOT send it there!
4. If a name is included, I will post it along with the email. If you do not want your name published, do NOT write it!
5. Remember, it is impossible that every email I receive get posted on this page. Only the best and most popular questions/comments will likely make it on.
6. Also remember, that questions will be answered by either Kayfabe or Rajah, so any personal remarks should be addressed accordingly. The following color scheme will be used:

Rajah - GREEN
Kayfabe - YELLOW

I was wondering what the best statedgy is for getting good tickets for WWF shows. King of the Ring sold out in 4 minutes, how do people get good seats??

I'm not exactly sure since I've never been to a PPV or even a RAW before myself, but I think it basically depends on the place that the event is being held in. Some outlets have a random drawing where everyone in line by a given time gets placed in a numbered draw to determine the order. Others are on a first-come-first-serve basis, in which case it's important to get to the box office really early. I think when all is said and done, you need some luck to score the really good seats. Don't bother going through the online website of ticketmaster because I think usually it ends up crashing due to the traffic. Just get there early is all I can say with certainty.

Whatever you do, DON'T trust Ticketmaster by phone. Jackasses...

dear rajah each and every week i follow the raw results on your site.i wait and reload and get the results as they happen.and i am very greatful for your site,not just for the results, but for all the other features at the site too.i keep up with all thats happening in the wwf all week with your news and rumors section too on a daily basis. well, all this said the reason for my letter.last week while following the raw results,your writer put up the question"if anyone is reading these,please e-mail me to let me know so i am not wasting my time".well i didn't e-mail and i know i should,i just don't like my name getting on the internet,cause i had a bad experience with getting bombed with e-mail at my yahoo address.but ,if helping keep you guys up and running on the net is to e-mail, that i follow you guys,than it is worth the risk of having to go through changing e-mail address again to show my support.and yes,tell your writer there that i am watching raw results every monday.speaking of which today is monday and its time to go back and get the results of the main event. thank you for the best wrestling site in the entire net.

Yeah, it was actually I who wrote that because I was stuck doing PBP after going through what has got to be the 6th or 7th RAW PBP person. The position is very demanding and is awful hard to fill but after posting that I realized that there are many people out there who do use the PBP service and so I don't see us quitting it anytime soon. If you notice, I actually do it myself with occasional help from others like Mike Hardy or Jayson Copeland or Kayfabe. It's working well I think cause we're all reliable.

I once wrote that too, so it could have been me.

From: Jake Sedgwick
In the most recent mail bag(Wed. June 28) you wrote that Grand Master Sexay would have been on the list of WWF wrestlers who have never held gold in the WWF because it was written in the previous mailbag, before Too/II/2 Cool had won the Tag Titles.

That isn't quite true, because he was once WWF Lightheavyweight Champion. So, he would not have been on that list. Sorry to nitpick, but, that my friend is true.

Actually my friend, that is false. Brian was never the lightheavyweight champion. He made it to the finals of the lightheavyweight tournament, lost to Taka, who then lost it to Christian, who lost it to Gillberg, and we all know what happened after that. In a sidenote, you can check out the title histories of all the major belts in the WWF by clicking HERE.

Gee, Raj, what's that link? You mean there's more to the site than just the main table? Could've fooled me...

From: James Batty
Hi, I read the page several times a week to keep abreast of the latest happenings in WWF. On several other websites they have reported that Kane is to lose his mask very shortly (Fully Loaded) in a match against Shane McMahon. I would like to know if you think there is any truth to this rumour and whether you think it is a good idea for Kane to lose his mask.

Personally, I think it is a bad idea because the mask is basically Kanes whole gimmick. If they removed the mask, it would ruin the character unless they played it off really, really well. Some sort of facial makeup or black and red facepaint might make it OK but basically, I think this would make or break the character as we know it. What are your opinions?

I agree. I'm not a big fan of the Kane-losing-mask theory for the reason you said, it would completely ruin his gimmick. I think the reason these rumors started turning up more frequently is because the WWF has decided to let Kane talk a lot more but the mask thing has been a tease for about the past 1-2 years so in essence, I don't see it happening anytime soon.

The senton Story A Senton is a name for a back first splash onto a victim. A top rope Senton is called a senton bomb. This is used by Kaz Hayashi and occasionly Buh Buh ray Dudley. The correct name for Jeff hardy's Move is Somersault Senton Splash or somersault senton. The problem started last year when JR didn't know what to call Jeff's Move. So as usual he gave it the incorrect name. JR called the move, Senton Bomb for ages untill everyone thought that was the right name. This year Jeff changed the name of his to Swanton Bomb and this has now been accepted as the correct name, with even Joey Styles in ECW calling it that. The culprit in the confusion was JR

Alright, glad to get that cleared up, I guess. But is it just me or is JR back to calling it the Senton Bomb again? Maybe it's just me, I dunno.

I don't have a question or anything but I thought you might like to post this because a reader named Mary asked about Test's Tattoo in the last edition of the mailbag and I have the answer, not much detail but its an answer none the less.

The cross, sun and moon tattoo was once described at WWF.com as Test's "Family Crest" I'm not sure what that is but I'm guessing it has been a fixture in his family for a long time and is very important to him.

And that my friends, IS true.

From: Larry
In the latest Mailbag (#26), Kayfabe mentioned that no one as large as Rikishi has held the Intercontinental strap. Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Rikishi hold that title before as the Sultan? I kind of remember a PPV (maybe a Wrestlemania?) where the Sultan and the Rock faced off for the title.

Well they may have faced off for the belt, but the Sultan has never held the I-C title, let alone any title during his tenure in the WWF. Now we all know that the Sultan and Rikishi are played by the same person but even if the Sultan did win the I-C title way back when, he was surely not as big as Rikishi is now. Fatu has put on a lot of weight since his last go around in the WWF.

Hi guys, i have been a huge fam of wrestling all my life and am a regular to your site, i was wondering if you could ask, your millions AND millions of rajah.com's fans (or answer yourself) if anyone out their can play any wwf theme tunes on the guitar and if so can they post the tabs or mail me via you ther e-mail adress

The ball is now in the court of the readers reading this right now.

From: Chris Davidson
hi guys, love the site. I was just wondering if you know how many people hit your site each day,month etc. and when was your site first launched ???

Whoa, deja vu! Actually, sly ol' Chris Davidson tried to sneak two questions by us, but I'll let it pass this one time only. Right now, I think about 30,000 to 50,000 people different computers hit the site each day. So I guess if you and your sister both visit within 24hrs, we'd only count that as one unique visitor unless you used two different computers. Per month, we measure total page views over the entire domain and that number is usually around 6 million. The site was debuted on December 5, 1997 as a dinky old page on Angelfire.com. The domain move came in February 8, 1999.

Rajah, Kayfabe:

In Mailbag 26 you gave an official answer as to what DDT stood for (the chemical). Every other time I've seeen the answer to this question you guys would say, 'maybe the chemical, but no one knows for sure.' Have you changed your tune to avoid answering the question again and again or have you gotten some new information that confirms it does indeed stand for the chemical?

Nah, I think Kayfabe was just sniffing his glue again or something. Personally, I think it was supposed to be the wrestling equivalent of the pesticide and they just named it the DDT and hoped no one would question what it stands for. But in an interesting tidbit, when I was growing up, we'd always refer to it as "Damian's Dinner Tonight" or something like that. Get it? Jake would hit the DDT..then Damian would crawl over the fallen wrestler! HAHA.

From: Richard J. Hager
Rajah- On your last mailbag you told Timbo that Jake "The Snake" Roberts finishing manuevre the DDT didn't stand for anything, and the only reason why the WWF and Jake "The Snake" adopted it was because it sounded dangerous. Well I clearly remember Jake "The Snake" describing the DDT as a Damn Devestating Terror. Thus the name DDT. Just thought that I'd clear that up for you. You have the best Damn wrestling site on the web!!!!

I don't remember it, but sure I'll take your word for it. Let me ask you guys and gals something...does it really matter what it stands for? According to our reliable internet reporters, the DDT is banned! Just kidding, I shouldn't have taken a crack at our hard working internet reporters. Forgive me.

From: Matt
FYI, Andrew "Test" Martin has gone on-record in WWF publications as saying that the symbol he uses is his Irish Family Crest. Hope this helps.

I think this is settled now.

From: Dragnet
I do believe that DDT stands for Damiens Dinner Time as it was the setup for the snake smear...when Damien crawled all over the poor jobber that was just pinned.

Okay, this guy soooooo reeks of awesomeness! Damian's Dinner Time, Damian's Dinner Tonight, what's the difference. The important thing is I wasn't the only one who thought this!

All of you are dead wrong. That was mentioned as an off-hand comment a few times, but the origin of the name came from the deadly chemical DDT. That's how the name of the move was born. Then, as years passed, the myth about "What does it stand for?" came about (by uneducated delinquents such as yourselves, unfamiliar with the well known chemical) and many announcers made cute harmless references about "Damien's Dinner Time" and such. There's a reason we got so many readers referring to it as meaning so many different things; because many different combinations were made up over time. The origin of the name was obviously from the widely known chemical, not derived from a lame tag line like "Damien's Dinner Time". Also, upon Jake's debut in the mid 80's, the name of his snake remained unknown for a breif period of time, though the DDT name was established from the get go. Explain that one. Case closed. Kayfabe 1, Jabronies 0.

We know that damn it. The point is now to determine what the WWF or more specifically Jake called his finisher. No one cares about the stupid pesticide! No one ever said "and there we go folks, Jake just hit his dichlorodiwhatevertetrawhatever!". Sure the abbreviations were pulled from the chemical but it doesn't mean it stood for the same thing. If I say "WWF", does that automatically mean I'm implying "World Wrestling Federation"?? No! [This has other personal implications people, but we won't get into it here...] Final Score: Rajah 1, GAYfabe 0.

Hey Rajah and Kayfabe, great site here. I have a question, on a summerslam in the early to mid 90's, there was a match, Paul Bearer's Undertaker vs. Million Dollar Man's Undertaker, and the stipulation was that the loser was the fake undertaker, and of course Paul Bearer's Undertaker (Mark Calloway) emerged victorious. I was wondering who played the fake undertaker? I assumed it was Glen Jacobs (the one who plays Kane, the undertakers "brother"), but i think that Glen Jacobs was playing Isaac Yankem D.D.S. around the same time.

The Fake Undertaker was not played by Glen Jacobs, aka Kane. It was instead played by Brian Lee, who also was Chainz in the WWF. Visit the previous identities for a list of who was who in the WWF.

Did we really have to go over that one again?

From: Peter Goh
I have some questions regarding Trish Stratus.

1) Is she single or married?

2) Has she ever posed nude before

Trish Stratus is 24 years old and single. She might have a boyfriend, I don't know, but she's not married, that's for sure. And no, she has never posed nude, nor has she posed in a bathroom with another lady. That pic is going around the net but I've been told it isn't even real. It was carefully doctored around to look real.

Gee Raj, I don't recall the guy asking about another lady in a bathroom. And come to think of it, I've never heard a thing about such a picture that exists. I don't know what sites *you* go to, but take your filth elsewhere.

From: ImASig
Hey Rajah seeing how rumor has it that your quite a drinker I just have one question. Can you out drink the Accolytes, or better yet, me?

I won't be bashful, I can damn well near out-drink anyone. Bradshaw and Faarooq? Puh-lease!

Told you he was a boozer. Forget the APA, we need to get Rajah into AA. And quick.

From: David Begun
I have a question that I thought you might be able to answer. I was recently re-reading Mick Foley's autobiography and read something interesting. On one page he states, "November 1 was a historic night in Houston, and not just because we were in the same building in which Ahmed Johnson has refused to put Kurrgan over in." What is this refering to?

Ahmed Johnson refused to "job" (ie. lose) to Kurrgan to put him over and was later fired because of that and a few other reasons. Kurrgan at that time was moving up the ladder and the WWF wanted Ahmed to help him get over that big bump. He flat out refused and put himself promptly into the doghouse.

Ahmed Johnson refused to job? Nah... And you wonder why there was never an Ahmed Johnson/Shawn Michaels showdown.

From: Mike
let me help get this HHH theme music debate stopped. I have volume 4 and listened to that song many times....the first thing that is said sounds like "oneself". It can be either A) one self B) one's self, C) one's elf, or D) whatever combination of words that you can come up with, NOT ONE, TWO. Also at the end of the Rock's theme if you turn it up ALOT he sings a small part of the smackdown hotel song. Also Stevie Richard's character change reminds me a lot of Cyrus (sp?) from ECW, in that he try to censor everything.

Anyways someone asked a question about where they could go to buy backyard wrestling rings, well this site is underconstruction i think but you can go to http://www.wwrings.com. they have good rings for around $1700-$4000 i think.

Dude, believe me, as much as it sounds like "one's self" or "one self" or whatever, it is "one, two, is this thing on?" I've had it confirmed by many credible people. For some reason it just sounds like a lot like one self.

As for Steven Richards, his character is an obvious spoof off of the PTC. And interestingly enough, the PTC is so stupid that they don't even know it. I heard a few quotes from PTC employees saying shit like "we agree fully with Steven Richards" etc. etc. My god, they are retards.

About The Game's music... DROP IT ALREADY! I mean WHO CARES?!? Not me.

Hey! You guys are such sweeties to spend your time answering our questions. My question is do you have any idea where Pat Patterson is from? He has some kind of accent and i thought i heard Brisco call him a dirty frenchman or something after he stole his belt.

Yeah, I'll admit, I'm a sweetie, but Kayfabe, I don't know about him. I heard some bad stuff about him that I probably should not say. Anyway, to answer your question, Pat Patterson is from Quebec, Canada, hence the French accent, although he was billed as being from San Franciso, California.

Even funnier is that Patterson referred to Brisco as an Indian, and I believe made some comment about "scalping" him a la Chief Jay Strongbow, no doubt. Oh, and very original knock, Raj. I've now got "bad stuff" attached to my rep. Ouch. At least I'm sober. Perhaps your above fascination with Jake Roberts stems from the fact that you both have something in common in that you're both drunk off your asses half the time. Tell me, Raj, ever been drinking with the Snake?
