The answer to yesterday's question -- the only wrestler ever to fight for the World Title, IC Title, Euro Title, Tag Title and U.S. Title, and to have a Money in the Bank match at WrestleMania -- is indeed Chris Benoit. Congrats to all who got it right, but don't hold your breath waiting for the special on WWE 24-7.
Today's question goes back to that Intercontinental and European Title match in question -- the Triple Threat at WrestleMania 2000 with Benoit, Kurt Angle and Chris Jericho. What former WWE Champion was supposed to be in Angle's corner for that bout, but never made it because Angle choked him out on Heat before the show?
Post your answers on the comment board. I'll be back tomorrow with the official answer.

Good ol' Bob Backlund
If memory serves me correctly, Kurt was briefly managed by Bob Backlund going into the event before choking him out. Personally I thought seeing Backlund at Wrestlemania 2000 would have been great but Angle obviously didn't share my enthusiasm.
Bobby Backlund i watched Heat that night very funny when Angle lock in the crossface chickenwing.
Mr. Bob Backlund, he choked him out with the chickenwing and he even started using it in his matches afterwards I believe. He choked him out after he made the triple threat match a two falls match for both parts of the Euro-Continental title.

Mr.Bob Backlund wassupposed to be in Angle's corner for the match,but was put in the crossface chicken-wing by Angle on Heat due to Backlund putting Angle in the double title match unbeknownst to him!
