You think you know me. Ian Hunter here. Walking out to a puff a smoke with a belt on my waist, two clones kissing my backside, and widow on my arm. What the hell happened to Edge? He used to be an exciting wrestler to watch in the ring. Then he picked up a microphone. Now he's just a carbon copy of what Rick Rude and Jericho used to be. I don't care if you're kissing Eddie's old wife because your last woman left in tears, and I don't care if you pulled the ol-switcheroo on everyone, and I don't really care that you're champion. I want to see Edge shut up and do something in the ring that makes me excited to see him perform again. Because right now I think Rated R stands for Retarded. And as he enters No Way Out to drop the belt to Mysterio, I can only wonder what's left for Edge going into Wrestlemania. In fact, No Way Out seems to be more of a curvy road on the way to Wrestlemania as from time to time it has implications on the event, while other times it serves no purpose. So this week's trivia is on the February PPV. But first, we need to answer last week's questions.

1: C. The future Big Daddy Cool himself, Vinnie Vegas. Back when he had a mullet and was dropping people's heads in the corner for a finisher. Of all the people, couldn't they have found someone else to beat Atlas?

2: C. A date with Kimberly. Of course the following weeks of TV time led up to the date, which was eventually interrupted by DDP. Truly one of the worst angles Page has been involved in, but not the absolute worst.

3: C. Insurrextion. For those of you unaware, Insurrextion was the name of the old United Kingdom PPV that the WWE seemed to stop a couple years back, as a treat for those across the pond who didn't get normal PPV events. Now they just do regular Raw and Smackdown events overseas.

4: D. Ric Flair was in Hunter's corner. Not that it helped him out any. This was during the period when Flair was a mentor for Hunter, just before Evolution started.

5: A. Buff Bagwell. A lot of people guessed Scott Norton for some reason, but no. The Stuff was the one who came down and helped Bischoff out against Arn. It would later lead to a feud with Buff and Malenko, but no one paid any attention to it.

This week, we got three, count them, three winners! But one didn't bother to sign his name, and as I've stated before, I don't post nicknames. So congratulations to Troy Richison and Dusty Wagoner. To the third person... sign your name this time! It's a new week and we've got 5 new questions. Answer the questions and email your answers to TorchTrivia@gmail.com. We’ll post the names of those who got ALL FIVE correct. Good luck to you all!

1. No Way Out originally started as a change of pace from the constant In Your House PPV events that were happening at the time. The WWF at the time was in a transition on it's way to the Attitude era and showed where it was headed with key matches. Kane defeated Vader, the Nation of Domination was starting to fall apart, the NWA title was being given poor treatment in the hands of Jeff Jarrett, and Austin was continuing his path to championship gold. But the match Austin was in gave no addition to his battle with Shawn Michaels due to his back injury from the Rumble. Who was Michael's replacement?

A. Owen Hart
B. Ken Shamrock
C. Savio Vega
D. Chainsaw Charlie
E. Triple H

2. Thsi next question, we're going to take a change of pace and have you fill in the blank. In 1999, major events took place that would change the course of the WWF for a couple of years. The Hardcore championship was given heavy play and credibility as Al Snow and Hardcore Holly took it to new heights, The Rock and Mankind took their feud to a bigger place in a Last Man Standing match, and Austin beat the hell out of McMahon in a steel cage only to be stopped by Paul Wight. But this was the only year the event wasn't called No Way Out. What was the FULL name of the PPV?

3. Skipping ahead a couple of years we go to 2002. At about the time the two owners angle was dying out, McMahon decided it was about time he dipped his hand back into the WCW well and pulled out the nWo. A nice way to sell the PPV since the initials matched that of the event they were going to appear at, and posters later reflected just that. At the time the company decided to tease all the horrible things the nWo would do, and made a last minute set change that kept everything very simple, but making a couple things for them to spraypaint on. In a strange twist, none of the members bothered to do it, and the only sight of spraypaint came from them doing it to Austin's back. What were the objects they had set up?

A. Championship Belts
B. Headless Backs
C. WWF Logos
D. The Ring Aprons
E. Moving Trucks

4. Skipping ahead to 2004 marked one of the most shown off events in WWE history. Eddie Guerrero winning the WWE championship from Brock Lesnar. Mainly due to his untimely death the following year, but it's still a big moment because if you had to pick 5 people you would expect to be WWE Champion in 2004, Guerrero probably wouldn't have even been in a top 10. It was a complete sign of faith from the company in him that he was a main event player. Of course, he didn't win it completely clean. A little bit ommited from the clips shows someone took care of Lesnar near the end of the match. Who interfeared?

A. Goldberg
B. Triple H
C. Chris Benoit
D. Chavo Geurrero
E. Steve Austin

5. Leading on forward to 2006, Randy Orton was eliminated by Ray Mysterio in the Royal Rumble that year, and Orton later challenged him to put the title shot he earned up at No Way Out. One of the reasons why fans can't stand Orton so much... he insulted the recently deceased Eddie Guerrero to gain heat in his match. Orton went on to win the match, but he wasn't the original choice for Mysterio's match. In fact, it was supposed to be a wrestler from Raw who was going to change over to Smackdown and come after him. But plans were scraped the next night when decisions were changed about the Raw championship. Who was it?

A. Rob Van Dam
B. Shelton Benjamin
C. Triple H
D. Chris Masters
E. Kane
