The Golden Age of the WWE Part 4 Quiz

Answer: Greg Valentine

Backlund and Valentine were wearing identical black trunks that night and a dazed referee confused the two as he made the three count with Backlund pinning Valentine. It was decided, after an investigation, that the title would remain vacant until the two met for a rematch at MSG one month later, which Backlund won.

Outside of New York city, however, the hold up was not mentioned and Backlund continued to defend the championship.

Answer: Tony Atlas and Rocky Johnson

Atlas and Johnson's victory was treated by the WWE as breaking a significant racial barrier when it happened in 1983. Though they were the first black tag team to win the title, WWE Tag Team Championship history was already a testament to ethnic and racial diversity. The title had been held by wrestlers of Asian, Arab, Latin American, Native American and Caucasian descent.

Ironically, Atlas and Johnson won the belts from the Wild Samoans, the first Polynesian team to win the championship.

Answer: Sgt. Slaughter

Slaughter was one of the WWE's most popular faces at the time and the Sheik had huge momentum coming off his championship run. Their memorable feud is one of many parelles in their storied careers. Others include both wrestlers holding the WWE Heavyweight Championship and dropping it to Hulk Hogan, being members of the three man Triangle of Terror (when the Sheik wrestled as Col. Mustafa) and being two of the only wrestlers to use the Camel Clutch.

Slaughter won the Boot-Camp Match.

Answer: 28 years

In 1983, the WWE acquired the NWA Women's Championship and made it the WWE Women's Championship. Moolah was champion at the time and the WWE recognized her entire time as champion as a continuous reign, not recognizing any of the other champions who had briefly held the belt.

Moolah would regain belt from Richter and hold it for nearly another two years.

Answer: A cast

Orton broke his arm in his match against Jimmy Snuka at "The War to Settle the Score." He then wore a cast on his left arm for close to a year, despite questions about the legitimacy of the injury. The cast played a part in many angles and matches, including the main event at "Wrestlemania".

Answer: Randy Savage

Savage thanked the managers for their consideration, then introduced his new manager, Miss Elizabeth, his real life wife and the future First Lady of wrestling.

Answer: Outback Jack

Jack had size, but he was awkward and extremely limited in the ring, and he quickly lost credibility.

Answer: The Honky Tonk Man

Savage was wrestling Honky Tonk for the WWE Intercontinental Championship when the Hart Foundation interfered and began beating Savage. After Honky Tonk shoved Elisabeth and smashed a guitar across Savage's head, Elizabeth summoned Hogan from the dressing room to save Savage. Savage thanked Hogan to complete the face turn, which paved the way for the formation of the Mega Powers and Savage's first WWE Heavyweight Championship run.

Answer: Demolition

Ax and Smash entered first and second respectively and went at it for two minutes before joining forces to take on the third entrant, Andre the Giant.

The rumble would be won by Big John Studd.

Answer: They all body slammed Andre the Giant

During Andre's career, promotions succeeded in portraying body slams of the Giant as historic events. In fact, taking slams was a part of Andre's repertoire in every phase of his career and he worked with several wrestlers who were strong enough to do the maneuver.

The actual number of wrestlers who slammed Andre is in doubt because detailed records were not kept of many of his matches.
