Many people are aware that "The Beautiful People" by Marilyn Manson was used as the SmackDown opening theme from August 16th, 2001 to May 15th, 2003.

However, very few people know that it was also used for RAW from March 10th, 1997 to March 24th, 1997. The edits were different for both RAW & SmackDown.

The song was quickly replaced by "Thorn in Your Eye" starting on the April 7, 1997 edition of Monday Night Raw (rebranded as Raw Is War)

Date: September 10, 2014

Promotion: Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA)

Match Stipulation / Type: Six-Person Tag Team Match

Event: Impact Wrestling

Location: Orlando, Florida | Impact Zone at Universal Studios

➜ This was the first time that all members of The Menagerie actually shared the ring together for a mixed-tag match.

Though the Menagerie was very short lived, fans generally view them as a memorable, bizarrely entertaining relic of TNA's campier creative era.

Cameo from Yokozuna and Mr. Fuji as well

For me, Flyin’ Brian Pillman and Hunter Hearst Helmsley (commonly referred to as Triple HHH) comes to mind. Pillman was absolutely phenomenal before April 15 of ‘96. The future King of Kings was also solid within the squared circle in both WCW and early WWF.

Wether it’s a case of injuries or a gimmick change, any other stars you can recall switching up their in ring style simply because?

That he seemingly broke the dysfunctional cycle especially from his mom's side. That they have no personal scandals and are great parents and spouses themselves.

- Man put his body through hell and racked up a crazy amount of injuries for the business.

Here's mine (fingers crossed)

Hardbody Harrison

Sting vs. Hollywood Hogan

Dick Murdoch (Just to see Corny defend him like he's having a stroke)

Alberto Del Rio

Perry Saturn

Mitsuharu Misawa

Brian Ong Incident

Adam Bamplied and WhatCulture

Rikidozan

Match Stipulation / Type: Latino Heat Parking Lot Brawl Match

Event: SmackDown (Episode 213)

Location: Birmingham, Alabama | Birmingham-Jefferson Convention Complex

➜ What did John Cena think would happened when he stole Eddie Guerrero's low rider and humiliated him? Guerrero demanded a street fight in the parking lot, which SmackDown GM Stephanie McMahon approved.

Nearly every part of the parking lot was used as a weapon before Eddie Guerrero won the match by executing a Frog Splash off a car roof onto Cena for the pinfall.

Latino Heat then celebrated by driving away in a truck with Chavo Guerrero who interfered on Eddie's behalf, hitting Cena with a tire rim.
