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!

Hey. Great site. I have a few questions which I reallywant answered. Billy Kidman looks pretty much EXACTLY the same as Bret Hart as far as his face goes. Are they related in any way? Also about a question answered in the mailbag #42 when someone asked has Rock ever pinned Stone Cold in a match. According to his autobiography the answer is NO. So the answer is NO unless Rock has pinned him since which is unlikely as he was making a movie for most of that time and for the rest of the time hasn't been in a rivalry with Austin.

No, Billy Kidman is not related to Bret Hart. They do have the same greasy hair, but that's about it. I'm sure the Rock has pinned Austin at some point, even if it was just in a tag team match or at a house show. I mean even though circumstances are different now, Kurt Angle has pinned the guy like a dozen times. So I'd find it hard to believe that the Rock has never in all these years gained a single fall on him.

Why you think stephanie got the implants? I myself think she looked better off without em, and im sure some will agree. They just too big. And give a good answer, not "its her own choice" bs.

Also, noodles are cool, but pie used to be cool too, before rock f'ed it up

sock cucker!!!

It had nothing to do with the size, only firmness... or so I hear. Apparently, she thought they were beginning to sag.

H I IM FROM THE UK AND I VIEW YOUR WEBSITE EVERY OTHER DAY (IT'S THE BESTWEBSITE ON THE NET). iVE NEVER SEEN THE UNDERTAKER TAKE A ROCK BOTTOM, I WASRONDERING IF THIS HAS EVER HAPPENED.

With all the matches they've had, I'm sure it has at some point. I'd put money on it.

i have gone every were to find this out but no one was able to give me the answer.in a ladder match if somebody not in the match runs down climbs the ladder and grabs the title does that mean he is the champion or what. if you can answer this you guys win hands down as my best site

There are no concrete rules pertaining to professional wrestling. What you described has never happened before, and thus has never been addressed before. I suppose they could have something like that happen at some point, but if and when it did, it would really slight the guys in the match. But then again with ladder matches becoming more and more cliché every month now, I wouldn't be surprised to see a new twist like that come in to play eventually.

If Nash and Hall join the WWF, they reform the Wolfpac. I think its the Wolfpac I was never a WCW fan. Anyway to oppose them Shawn Michaels returns to reform DX with HHH, X-Pac and Bad Ass. X-Pac turn his back on DX to join up with Nash and Hall because he was the third member of The Wolfpac. Shawn has always said he wanted to return for one last go at wrestling before retiring, so his last match would be wrestling with the Kliq and Bad Ass.

Tell me what you think please

Eh, sounds to me like the mid 90's all over again. And I don't think Shawn Michaels would come back to have his last match involving Billy Gunn.

Hey guys. Sup? I want to tell you how much I enjoy your site and I think it's mad cool. When I was watching the Gimmick Battle Royal on WM17, I enjoyed watching the old school wrestlers go at it. It brought back a lot of great memories in the 80's and the mid 90's. I was wondering, wasn't one man gang's entry music bull buchanan's entry music before he went to RTC and did the Russian dude have the same entry music that used to be by another anti-American by the name of Ludvig Borga? Thanks man. Keep up the good work. You rock!!!

Yeah, a lot of the music was recycled. Nikolai Volkoff did use Borga's old music, and I think the Iron Shiek had someone else's too, but I can't remember whose. I'm not sure about The Gang either. I can't remember who used what entrance music.


From: Matt
Hey great site Kane is one of my favorites wrestlers but something about him bugs me. When Kane takes a move that requires him to land on his face such as a X-Factor or a Pedigree he screws it up and lands really badly. I think it ruins the match is there any reason why Kane does this?

I'm sure it's not intentional. I guess he either just has trouble selling the move. Perhaps it's hard to sell properly since he's so big and he has to go down so quickly at the hands of someone much smaller than him. Or maybe he has trouble with his mask. There's really no way for me to be sure.

I really really hope that Vince does not read your mailbag, because if he does:

(High up in Titantowers)

VINCE: "Mmmmmmm, Earl and Cleatus Holly.......... I like it!"

Just as well that Chronic have been fired.

Keep up the good work,
Rob

Haha. Given Vince's fondness for hillbillies it wouldn't surprise me if that did strike him as a good idea. Of course I'm sure he has better things to do with his time than read this.


In the last edition of the mailbag Joe wrote, "Hi i just wanted to know what has happened to Stone Cold's smoking skull belt? Thanks, from Joe."

I think it would be great if the WWF set up an angle where Stone Cold brought the smoking skull belt back. I can see it now. They should set it up where Austin takes the WWF title he has now and totally defaces it out of pure hatred for the WWF. He should toss it in the garbage or burn it. He could go on saying that, "This belt is the sorriest excuse for a championship that I have ever seen! it doesnt even deserve to be around my waste. What!? Huh!? What!? You people want to see a true title belt then look no further then my custom smoking skull belt." Then Shane-O Mac should come down with the belt and hand it to Austin. While all this is going on JR should be calling Austin a sorry SOB and throwing in about 5 Good Gods. I believe if worked right, this would give Austin even more heat as a heel. Kayfabe or Raj I was wondering what you guys think?

That's not a bad idea, though the part about defacing the WWF Title will have people screaming about how he's ripping off Hogan and the nWo. But it seems to me that if he was going to do something like that, it should have been shortly after he joined the Alliance in the first place. I could definitely see something similar to that going down though, especially if they do an angle where Austin gets really pissed off and wants to stick it to Vince McMahon.


From: Richard
Just for trivial purposes, but has a title ever switched hands on Jakked or Metal?

Nope.

What up rajah. I am just wondering, why is your main page have a white background? I use to be black. It looks a lot cooler if it was black.


Hmmm, it's still black. At least I think it is. I have the default background color set as black and there is also a tiny black background image which is just 10 pixels by 10. So both ways you shouldn't be seeing white. I don't think you're the only one who sees this either because a couple others have informed me of the same observation. I really don't know why it's doing that. Sorry.


From: Robert Wilson
First off, great site. I visit at least once a day. The question I have is several months ago you posted that pmoy Karen McDougal was coming to the WWF. Is this still in the works, or has it been scrapped?


I remember this but I'm not sure if it was confirmed that she was in negotiations with WWFE or whether it was just an overblown rumor. I believe what the deal was that the WWF showed some interest in her possibly being a part of the XFL, but we know what happened there. If that is true, then that would also explain why we never heard more about this.


From: Lance Hunter
I am sure this has been asked somewhere down the road but how does Dan The Man get his live feeds from the Smackdown and Heat Tapings? I don't really understand it! I visit the site 'round the clock' and love Breaking Kayfabe and News and Rumors! (Sorry MTR)!


Dan is like a modern day superman and he uses his special powers to pick up a signal from the WWF in his head. Then he writes it all down with one hand tied behind his back and his eyes closed too. Dan's super duper satellite which picks up the feed the arena sends to the WWF studios in Stamford might also have something to do with it.


From: Gregory Pryor
What actually happened in July 1997 there between Bret Hart and Shawn Michaels , I've heard rumours of a real backstage fight ? Shed any light on this ?


I think it was right after King of the Ring either immediately before or after a RAW program. They got into a scuffle backstage and Bret apparently got the better of Shawn. Michaels wasn't too happy about it and took a short leave of absence from the WWF after it happened.

Hey guys, first off, I love the site, keep up the good work. My question has to do with Rikishi. I watched a movie called Body Slam the other night from 1987. It stars Roddy Piper, Lou Albano, and Sam Fatu. A friend of mine insists that Sam Fatu is Rikishi, I disagree. The Internet Movie Database (www.imdb.com) lists Sam Fatu's real name as Solofa Fatu, which is the same as you list here on your site, but the bio on IMDB.com claims that he is Rikishi's older brother and that his previous identities are Tama and The Tonga Kid. The previous identities of Rikishi on your site list totally different names, with no mention of Tama or the Tonga Kid. Could you PLEASE clear this up? I really don't know what to think, I don't claim to be a wrestling trivia king, but this is a confusing situation. Thanks a lot!


I'm not totally sure, but I believe you are correct. Solofatu is Rikishi and Solofa is Tama/Tonga Kid, who is indeed Rikishi's brother. I haven't watched the movie in question so I have no idea who's in it, but I'm guessing it's Tama. It's tough to tell because they look an awful lot a like, at least back in the day they did. I will try and get the confirmed answer for future reference though.
