    I was watching ESPN's Two Minute Drill Quiz Show tonight and one of the questions was something along the lines of "After winning a Gold Medal in the 1996 Olympics, Kurt Angle joined what professional wrestling organization?" I am pretty sure the fella just took a wild guess and said WWF due to process of elimination, but he got it right. Also, the host, Kenny Mayne was somewhat "blah" when he responded with "correct" after the gentleman answered.
