Hogan turning was such a tightly-kept secret that they didn't even let the announce team know it was happening, so I would be surprised if there was much talk about it being Hogan beforehand.

It probably helped to throw people off that they had other people prepared to turn if Hogan backed out at the last second, since there was a very real possibility he might do that.

What is the kayfabe reason for storing kendo sticks under the wrestling ring? Is there one?

Better to keep dangerous weapons under the ring than in a desk drawer or beneath a mattress, where a kid could find it.

That tiger was one of Steiner's freaks. They had know way of knowing just what Steiner meant when he said he wanted to have one of his freaks in the ring.

As opposed to knowing what Big Poppa Pump the Big Bad Booty Daddy Scott Steiner means when he says anything else?

They still occasionally say "Titantron." It's also used in the video games to refer to entrance videos (as opposed to the smaller thing you walk out in front of, which they call the Mini-tron).

On the long odds that you do find Ambrose, can you give him a copy of my novel where the Shield has to fight ghosts so they take jobs with the Ghostbusters to learn the tricks of the ghost-fighting trade? He won't think its weird at all.

No no leave Renee Young and Regal on NXT so I can listen to them flirt with each other on commentary without Vince ruining it. Those two are adorable.

But if she moves to Raw then we'll see more of her explosive sexual chemistry with the Titty Master whenever he stops in to do color.

What is the dumbest wrestling move in terms of kayfabe?
I think it is Cactus Jack's diving sunset flip to the outside of the ring. It always seemed pointless to slam yourself onto the concrete for a pinning attempt that hurts your opponent roughly the same as a regular sunset flip and in most cases can't be counted for a pinfall. An honorable mention goes to the Blockbuster because even though it looks impressive it also looks like you are helping your opponent give you a vertical suplex.

Saying that Mick Foley does a move that hurts him more than you misses the point that it still hurts you, and he is immune to pain.

I always thought that RVD hit the sweet spot of selling that the Five Star Frog Splash hurt him and going for a pin. The other end of the spectrum is how Eddie Guerrero would immediately go for the cover after the Frog Splash connected.

I always mentally interpreted that as RVD not knowing how to land and Eddie Guererro being a much better wrestler than him.

I think the Portland Wrestling library might be owned by Don Coss who is still promoting local shows under that name to this day but I can't be certain

The current Portland Wrestling show (currently on at midnight Saturday on KPTV) actually plays old matches from the 70s and 80s when they go to intermission before the main event.

Somewhat related, I was listening to a Bryan and Vinnie recap and one of the things mentioned was the endurance of Bob Backlund and Angelo Poffo. Ric Flair is known for his conditioning as well, but who else is up in regards to their endurance in a match?

I get why Jeff Jarrett was the Chosen One and had the stroke because he was given world title after world title by the writers. But Billy Gunn never got any world titles. How was he "The One"? What was that about?

I think that was after he won King of the Ring 99.
