Never heard the term "Curtain Jerker" before (tried "Opener" about a dozen times) but got the rest right. :)

I don't think it's quite as common as some of the other terms, and it may be less common than it once was. Certainly WWE seems to consider the first (televised) match of the show a prominent place, so maybe this concept is falling out of fashion?
