Don't you hate it when your weird uncle tries to butt his way into your photos at a party?

 

Ha. WWE bait and switches Eva Marie's return, and she's still the same conceded Barbie doll she always was.

And of course commentary plays dumb and doesn't watch the other brands to know that's NXT UK's Piper Niven.

 

Finishing the A&E show on Andre, the big thing I discovered was that he was actually quite smitten by Bob Orton's sister (Randy's aunt), and she kinda blew it off as a drunken joke.

Beyond the memorabilia hunt, this was a really good episode with LOADS of extra footage and photos.

 

It strikes me that Raw has 3 totally different women’s stories going on, with Flair/Ripley, Bliss/Bayzler and Eva Marie. 4 if you count the Nattie Tamina/Dana Brooke Mandy Rose mini feud. Thats gotta be a first. Well done by them

 

Oh, damn. Ted DiBiase taking a punch. Wasn't expecting that, but great way to solidify Cameron Grimes' face turn.

 

Yeah, DiBiase actually took a bump. And that just kicked this entire storyline into the next level. Well done by all.

 

This could be interesting. AEW's NYC debut inside Arthur Ashe Stadium.

Watching Part 3 of the WWE tag team countdown -- I know this is a WWE countdown and their contributions to WWE was pretty minimal compared to WCW, but having the Steiners at #17 seems pretty criminal.

Also in the top 20: Undisputed Era, Soul Patrol, Mr. Fuji & Toru Tanaka, Rock & Sock, Wild Samoans, Rockers, Megapowers, Valiant Brothers and Demolition.

I'm guessing that means the top 10 in no specific order: Hardys, Edge & Christian, Dudleys, New Day, Usos, Hart Foundation (Bret and Anvil), Road Warriors, Freebirds, Rock & Roll Express, New Age Outlaws.

 

Freebirds barely appeared in WWE except for a month or two in '84. Road Warriors did fine in WWE, but are best known in the NWA, AWA and Japan. One team that they're missing, even though only the ill-fated Bart Gunn and Bob Holly team was in WWE, is the Midnight Express.

 

Neither the Freebirds or Road Warriors have appeared yet, and the only potential teams they disqualified at the beginning for never being involved with the WWE were Harlem Heat and the Hollywood Blondes. And with Michael Hayes holding such status in the company, I can't imagine them not being in the top 10.

Bart Gunn was at least included before with Billy as the Smoking Gunns.

 

They better recognize Well Dunn and The Bushwhackers (who were an awesome heel tag team when they were The Sheepherders).

 

Bushwackers were earlier in the top 50.
