* Game 1, Round 4 - Sports - Professional Wrestling
Anybody who tells you pro wrestling isn't a sport probably thinks
figure skating isn't a sport either, but in figure skating nobody
hits you in the back with a steel chair. So there!
1. Frank Gotch and Georg Hackenschmidt wrestled what is widely
considered by historians to be the first "modern" professional
wrestling match -- that is, one with a storyline and a
predetermined outcome. Within 5 years, when was that match?
2. Please decode the rot13 for questions #2-4 *one at a time*,
in each case only after you have finished with the preceding
question.

5. Japan is a hotbed for professional wrestling. New Japan Pro
Wrestling is the largest pro wrestling promotion in Japan and
the second largest in the world after WWE. It was founded in
1972 by this wrestler, who is famous for a "boxer vs. wrestler"
match in which most of the time he was on his back kicking at
Muhammad Ali's legs. Name him.
6. What is a "bladejob"?
7. The company now known as WWE was originally founded as the
Capitol Wrestling Corp. Within 3 years, when was that?
8. In the 1980s, they were called the WWF, and they rose to
dominance in part because they pursued national touring and
syndicated television programming instead of staying within
the agreed-upon regional boundaries. Another reason was a
cross-promotion with musicians like Cyndi Lauper -- called what?
Hint: This was also the title of the WWF-themed Saturday-morning
cartoon produced in the 1980s.
9. Another key element in the WWF's rise to dominance was
WrestleMania, their annual super-event. Within 2, how many
WrestleManias have there been?
10. Toronto has hosted WrestleMania twice. For *either* occasion,
give *either* the sequence number or the year.
* Game 1, Round 6 - Science - Latin Animal Genera
Animals are taxonomically classified in Latin and identified
by their genus and species. For example, the common house cat
is Felis domesticus. In this category we're going to test your
knowledge of Latin genera.
For questions #1-6, we'll the genus and you name the type of animal.
(Single-word answers are sufficient in each case although the full
answer may be more specific.)
1. Loxodonta.
2. Chelonia.
3. Cervus.
4. Bos.
5. Apis.
6. Vulpes.
For questions #7-10, you give the genus.
7. Wolves, coyotes, and domestic dogs.
8. Horses, donkeys, and zebras.
9. Lions, tigers, leopards, and jaguars.
10. Gorillas.

National Wrestling Alliance ("NWA" was sufficient). 4 for Jason
and Joshua.
This one obviously did not really relate to #3, but it was rot13'd
as a possible hint for #1, and I though it was simpler to have one
derotting instruction for all of #2-4.

Antonio Inoki. 4 for Jason.

Cutting yourself during a match with a razor blade to show blood.
(It's safer than "bleeding the hard way" by letting a punch injure
you.) 4 for Jason and Joshua.
I didn't find any reference to this being done specifically near
the eye, so I did not accept the answer "cutting a blister around
the eye", which did not include the key fact that it refers to
cutting *yourself*.

1952 (accepting 1949-55). Nobody was within double the allowed
leeway.

#6 in 1990, #18 in 2002. 4 for Jason.

"Canidae" is wrong; that's the family including the above but also
a number other canid genera such those for foxes and dholes.

"Primates", again, is not a genus; it's the order containing not only
gorillas but also monkeys, orangutans, tarsiers, lemurs, lorises, and
(oh, yeah) people.

The precedence don't enter into it -- it's stone undefined.
This expression makes no sense. It has ceased to be. It's
expired and gone, though sadly not forgotten. This is a latent
expression. Bereft of meaning, it should rest in peace. If
people didn't keep nailing it into these discussions, it would be
pushing up the daisies. It's rung down the curtain and joined
the choir ineffable. This is not an ex-pression.
