On episode 4 of Keep it 2000 Brian Mann talks about Lisa Marie Varon debuting as a random woman on the show and then stating "She's also known as Tara in WWE". Brian was confusing her names as she was known as Tara in TNA and Victoria in WWE.

On the Feb 5 LAW, John said that he didn't want to see Amanda Nunes fight at 145 when she hasn't defended her belt once yet.
She defended her title against Ronda back in December.

During the WWE No Way Out 2009 edition of Review-A-Wai, John and Wai are discussing the Paul Heyman-esque booking of the opening match, where then-champion Edge was eliminated first, heating up the crowd by ensuring that a new champion would be crowned. Wai reminisces about Heyman's decision to take the title off of Taz in his final ECW match by making him the first man eliminated in a triple threat.
The match was a three-way dance, not a triple threat, as a triple threat match does not have elimination rules.

Taz lost the title at Anarchy Rulz but would continue to work until November to Remember where he lost to RVD.

I think you're reaching with this one... Perhaps you're not familiar with this thread. If you don't have a fact to dispute a post that is factually incorrect, please refrain. OK, I'll try again... Is it a "fact" that a triple threat is never an elimination match? Or is that just in recent WWE parlance? I've always felt that - other than for branding purposes - a three-way dance, triple threat and triangle match are all pretty interchangeable. I couldn't tell because you didn't cite a source (with a fact), and I couldn't find anything definitive stating as such.

I couldn't tell because you didn't cite a source (with a fact), and I couldn't find anything definitive stating as such. WWE/WWF has been using the term "triple threat" for almost 20 years - not recent parlance. And also not interchangeable, as they are two different things. It's not a primary source, but this thread talks more about it: www.reddit.com/r/SquaredCircle/comments/35cjgj/triple_threat_or_three_way_dance/I struggle to understand how you couldn't find this, as I Googled "triple threat three way dance". Either way, this matter is closed.

On the 02/14/2017 edition of Review a Raw, John states that WWE did not mention the passing on Lou Thesz.
WWE aired a tribute video to Lou Thesz (and one for Wahoo McDaniel) on the May 2, 2002 edition of WWE SmackDown.

On the 2004 Royal Rumble review John says that Steve Austin is the co-gm of raw. In fact Austin is actually the "sheriff" of raw not the gm. Although he somehow does have gm powers.

During the February 22nd edition of Review-A-Smackdown, John brings up the rule change in Major League Baseball that will require all intentional walks to be made via signal rather than pitching. John is sure that no one has ever swung at an intentional walk; Wai is not so sure. They're both not sure whether the complacency created by an intentional walk has resulted in any strategies that take advantage of said complacency, and implicitly appeal to the Fact-Checking Thread for assistance. The intentional walk has led to strategies, hits and more - here are 10 such occurrences, with videos: herosports.com/news/mens-baseball/mlb-to-change-intentional-walk-rule-so-here-are-the-10-most-incredible-intentional-walk-moments-in-baseball-history

On the February 21st edition of Review-a-Raw John and Wai are not sure who wrestled as Paige for the Fighting with My Family film. That was Tessa Blanchard, the daughter of Tully and indy wrestler.

Not an error, but a fact-check nonetheless. On Review-A-Smackdown on 2/22/17, John and Wai joke about Smackdown being able to do a full-fledged, 30-man Royal Rumble for Randy Orton's forfeited title shot at Wrestlemania. Per the WWE's own website, the Smackdown roster has exactly 32 male wrestlers. So excluding Bray Wyatt and Randy Orton, they could technically do a 30-man Royal Rumble or Battle Royal. However, at least three guys (Zack Ryder, Erick Rowan and Kane) are currently injured. So speaking specifically about this past Tuesday, they would not have been able to do one without including women and/or using non-roster male wrestlers. Source: www.wwe.com/superstars
