139* GenderBlenderName: A guy named ''Mabel''?

158* TheAlcoholic: Implied. He teamed with Wrestling/{{Ivory}} in a loss to Mark Henry and Wrestling/MaeYoung on the March 5, 2000 ''[[{{BShow}} Sunday Night Heat]]''. As he walked to the ring, the commentators said, "I think Ivory drinks lattes, I don't know what Mideon drinks, or how much."
