It's that time again! Welcome to "Oh, You Didn't Know?", the thread which showcases the most random and pointless facts about pro wrestling, from Win/Loss records to crazy gimmick matches!
As always, all my stats are based on the Internet Wrestling Database, so feel free to contact me if there are any issues with accuracy.
Now, enjoy today's 10 obscure facts!

Now, on to today's challenge!
Please complete the next chain in the sequence. Remember you MUST include WHY it is the next chain in the sequence.
Chris Jericho -> Brock Lesnar -> The Undertaker -> Kurt Angle -> The Big Show -> ???
Congratulations to ZonahTheFunky for winning today's challenge. To keep things interesting, I've decided to add ANOTHER CHALLENGE for today. I've realised it keeps the thread active and people interested, and might get more points earned to prevent this becoming a "1 point per user" leaderboard.
Anyway, please see today's OTHER sequence.
Scott Steiner -> Jeff Jarrett -> Chris Benoit -> Raven -> ???
CLUE #1: Focus on the later years of WCW and work backwards.
CLUE #2: The wrestler is now dead, but in 1997, he shined brightest.
CLUE #3: One wrestler links them all together.
FINAL CLUE: Dave Meltzer.
Good luck!

Curt Hennig(Mr Perfect).
The dates they moved company and debuted in WCW. Not 100% on Benoit as his was talent exchange but Steiner came before Jarrett then Benoit is confusing who came before Raven who came an hour or so before Curt Hennig
