hi guys ill miss the average ass kissing as go straight to the question. back in the early 90's i remember an incident with jake the snake and earthquake. it happened on superstars i think, after a beat down quake had jake tied up in the ropes and proceeded to drop the ass splash on the "onimus green bag" thus crushing and killing damian. jake gave a great performance crying all the way through while fighting to get out of the ropes. after a while jake reappeared with a new snake "lucifer" does any of this sound familiar as no one i ask seems to remember it. my question is what happened to this fued after this i dont remember any fued actually forming, no big ppv blowoff and none of your flashbacks (which are awsomely funny) mention this. did i just imagine this or can you shed some light on it.

I am pretty sure at some point there was a match to end the feud. When I am not sure but I know that the angle went on for a while. I remember the incident and I think I was quite upset at the time seeing I was a lot younger and a big Jake the Snake fan. So you did not imagine things but I can not remember when they had the match that ended the feud. Maybe someone out in the audience knows.

Hi! Great site. Has the WWF Hardcore Belt been used as an other belt previously? I mean is it a recycled old championship belt, or did they get a "smashed up" one made for this purpose. Thanks

It was originally the belt that Mr. Perfect destroyed when feuding with Hulk Hogan. It seems like since then in the last few months they have just made a junky looking belt for the guys to throw around without worry of it falling apart.

hiya good people of RajahWWF! Once again, you know it's coming....... Great site! And like many others,. I too visit your site a few times a day. I've got a good question here (well, it is to me!). About the Montreal Screw Job, what whould've happened if Bret did win the match against Shawn Michaels. I know he would've gone to WCW as the champ, but so what? Can't WWF just find an excuse on TV to strip him of the title, and have a tournament to crown a new champ? They did that with Chyna and the Women's title. Of course, the women's title are not as significant, but they could've done the same thing with Bret that time, rather than cause such a bitter controversy. ET Khor

The plan that Brett wanted to do was just come out the next night on Raw and give up the belt and announce he was leaving or something to that effect. He never had intentions of taking the belt with him. He would have be willing to drop the belt to Shawn anywhere but Canada. Now I will not go into my opinions on the matter but I will say that it could have been handled better by everyone involved.

hi all @ rajah.com, i would like to know who is in the wwf hall of fame. i know moolah and gorilla monsoon are but who else?

I think Andre the Giant is the only one you are missing.

Andre was the first inductee in 1993 but there have been quite a few since. I can't remember them all but here are some wrestlers that I do remember: Fred Blassie, Pedro Morales, Ivan Putski, George "The Animal" Steele, Jimmy Snuka and Vinc McMahon Sr. I'm pretty sure there have been over 20 inductees but that's all I can remember off the top of my head.

HEy Rajah/Pete/Whoever else When the ring breaks is it planned, or by accident? (I'm mainly thinking of Foley/Trips HIAC)

Everyone is seeming to forget me lately for some reason. Anyway when the ring broke with Foley and Trips it was planned. It is planned I think most of the time but accidents do happen.

I haven't watched wrestling for quite some time. But I was wondering when these new shows "Jakked" and "Metal" started airing..I vaguely remember the beginning of SmackDown (And Sunday Night Heat)...Are these replacements for shows of the past such as "SuperStars" and "Action Zone"?

Actually Jakked/Metal used to be Shotgun Saturday night and another version of the show for the east coast. Basically same thing except different names and times. They have been around for a while. Superstars was still on the air until Excess started.

Russ was cut, amongst other reasons because there was no future for his character in the WWF after the Undertaker indicated that he was not interested in working with him.

to whoever, can you explian the switch from titan to wwfe. like when, why, etc. i need you to answer this one cause it's worth $50 bucks to me which means $25 to you. thanks

Not sure exactly when it happened, but I believe it was shortly before the WWF created plans to turn their private company into a public one. The McMahons have long wanted to transform their company into an entertainment superpower and thus it made sense to change from Titan "Sports" to WWF Entertainment, Inc because technically the WWF isn't a sport and does not claim to be one.

Raj, Pete or MTR: Great site guys. Just wondering, is it true Triple H has alot of influence when it comes to story lines at meetings and backstage? If not does anyone (Rock, Austin Etc) have more input than HHH?

Triple H usually denies it, but yes, he does have quite a bit of influence on storylines and mainly the direction of his character. In fact, many say that it is Triple H's power backstage that succeeded in delaying his return until next week's RAW because when he returns, he will come off looking as the WWF's savior since ratings will almost surely be up from the past few weeks and I believe Monday Night Football wrapping up as well. Whether this is true or whether it was the plan along, no one except those directly involved will know for sure.

Here's a good question for the mailbag. Or at least I think so anyway. I was reading the headlines at the bottom of your page and noticed one mentioning the XWF. Now in this headiline it mentions that the XWF has not contacted Jeff Jarrett possibly because is still upset at the shoot incident that he had with Jarrett and Russo. Since I gave up on WCW right about the time that Vince Russo jumped ship, I was wondering if you know what happened? Also, was that shown on TV or was it a backstage thing? Thanks

I believe you're talking about Hulk Hogan's problems with Vince Russo and Jeff Jarrett. In any case, I didn't really follow WCW but I believe what happened is that Vince Russo just got sick of Hogan's requests to be the champ that he re-wrote the script to a WCW PPV without Hogan's knowledge and had Jeff Jarrett lay down for Hogan so he could get his wish. Jarrett did, Hogan hesitantly pinned him and won the title but then Russo disowned that belt and brought back another one and said that Hogan's ego made him do what he did. Hogan left WCW and never returned after that. This was all shown on PPV.

my question is did the Sandman ever appear on WCW? Cause there was a guy who looked like him and acted like him, only he was smaller. And one other thing. In the last mailbag, Rajah said that the immortal one Bret Hart lost the WWF title in a cage match to Sid with UT's help. Well I don't know about the cage part, but I do know it was Austin, not UT, who interfered in the match.UT did interfere in a Diesel/Hart cage match, but in that one he helped Bret win. Just thought I'd point that out.

Yes, Sandman did have a brief stint in WCW basically following his ECW career. Again, I didn't follow WCW programming, but I'm fairly certain he wrestled as Hak. As for the clarification, I'll take your word for it because I honestly don't remember the match itself.

From: Loomis Family
To Rajah:In Mailbag #44 when asked about the one raw where Bret Hart lost to Sid in a cage match,you said the undertaker helped Sid...but I could've sworn stone cold hit Bret hart in the head with a chair and caused him the title which was the night after Bret won it at In Your House:Final Four...just clearing that up!

Well there ya go, it's official.

Is there a website for this new XWF I've heard so much about as being "Vince's Compatition"? I'd like to see more about it, but when I go to search for it, all I get is fantasy federations. Thanks guys!

Their official website is XWFWrestling.com.

I was wondering what ever happen to the Patriot? He came out of no where then in like a month or so to main event status, then just as quick gone and never heard from again. What's the story there?

Tricep Injury -> Long, long recovery time -> No angle for him when he came back -> Released

This doesn't necessarily have to go into the mailbag, but I was wondering about the ads you have on the site. Do you get credit for each click or unique hits to the sponsor ad? For example, if I were on the site and clicked on an ad more than once, do you get the money for each click? Or is it a one customer per visit sort of deal? Thanks :)

Most of the ads get paid per click per visitor in a 24-hour period. So if you click the same ad more than once a day, it will only count as once. There are a few ads that pay per impression, meaning each time it loads up, no matter if it gets clicked or not, you receive credit. However, the monetary value per view is way, way less than one click.

hi, i was viewing your source one day, (don't worry, i wasn't stealing anything) and i noticed a couple of things. You use a solid black image for your background, and although this image is small the loading time of the page would increase if you stuck with just the body bg tag.

Oh and also there was a tag saying "!--Rajah, Type Your shit in here" which i found absolutely hilarious.

The reason for the small background image is because in the past our design had a non-black background. It was kind of a dark grayish-brown background that was on all the pages. I decided that I wanted to go to a plain black background and instead of taking that code off all the pages, I put a small black image in its place. Basically, you can say I was lazy and didn't care about a small delay in loading times. And as for the "Rajah type your shit in here", the guy who originally helped me with my design stuck that in all the pages because he thought I did not know where to start editing the pages, but of course I did. Again, too lazy to take it out. :)

When will we know where Wrestlemania X9 will be and where can I find out first. One more thing what's the bast way of making sure I get good seats before they sell out?

Wrestlemania X-9? Jeez, try back in like 6 months. Usually the venues get announced the summer before at the very earliest and tickets go on sale the following fall. I don't think there is one general, easy way to score good seats. You need to get in line early and have some good luck as well.
