The spot with Darby in the front row was a missed opportunity to do the classic "fake Sting takes off mask to reveal real Sting" bit.

Having said that, seeing Atlantis on US TV in 2024 is the wildest thing I've seen this year that didn't involve Bryan.

I suppose I should have mentioned in the op that Atlantis Jr kinda sucks. Actually that probably isn't fair, he's just being pushed way above his skill level because his dad is basically lucha John Cena (idol to the kids) and he's close to calling it a career.

Yeah Maxxine got thrown to the wolves and that sucks, nice to see other women in WWE come to her defense since it seems by all accounts she's a really sweet person. There's no excuse for her to be learning on the job on national TV when they have a whole ass developmental brand.

I pretty much started this just to post this In before we get a Atlantis Sr vs Bryan match on Rampage or some shit.

If someone related to Meng wants to join my group, I'm not saying no.

To be fair though, being someone the young pups can work with in NXT isn't the worst role in the world for ol' 10 Guy.

Not gonna lie, my first thought was "KawadaSmile is going to be pissed off"

I can't imagine how much it has to suck to fly all the way from Australia and have to work TV jetlagged to fuck and back.

RIP you wonderfully miserable bastard. The original Horsemen run was one of those "yeah, this shit's for me" moments that first got me hooked on pro wrestling.

I think Bryan getting to cross off his entire bucket list while on his last year victory lap is the most amazing thing I've seen in pro wrestling.

Hey, part of the gig replacing all these Dads is taking care of mom, ya know?

Damn, Sting with the fire promo almost makes up for the lame follow up on the beatdown angle. Also when he was talking about his father passing away part of me expected Christian to cut in all "so you need a new dad?"

I get folks not wanting to see him be involved anymore, but Solemn Ric Flair talking to the Evil Bucks was at least an interesting wrinkle on the story.

Also since the world needs something wholesome, here's a video from Asuka's Youtube channel where she surprises the owner (?) of a pro wrestling themed bar who happened to be wearing one of her shirts:

So it was confirmed Shotzi tore her ACL in her match from tonight's NXT. All she did was jump from the apron to the floor and it gave out, reminded me of Sting's knee exploding just from him taking the last step off the cage back in the day. There seems to be a rash of ACL injuries down there like there was tons of shoulder injuries back in the day. Seems like there might need to be an adjustment in how they train down there.

It helps that what he did back then wouldn't even crack the top ten most objectionable things that happened in the Attitude Era.

Every commercial break on ECW TV had a promotion for the next big show at the ECW arena, so they very much were building for the next house show. They definitely were pioneering the idea of not having a show full of squashes for sure.

We need to protect R-Truth at all costs Agreed

Popped for the lady from Netflix in the front row with a giant cup of beer

Nice to see Raquel able to come back from that strange illness she had.

Especially if you consider how much sexual abuse that has been found to been covered up inside the military. It probably didn't take too much convincing from WWE to keep this under wraps. That whole situation was the perfect storm to make sure a story like this never got out.

holy shit, really? that's insane.
