Guess the Shotzi & Nox team means Ember Moon goes back to singles competition? So much for the former tag team champions, without any rhyme or reason.

 

And will there not be any resolution to Tegan costing Candice and Indi the tag belts?

 

Wait was Nox and Shotzi the original team before Nox wrecked her knee again, with Moon as the surprise replacement friend? Thats how I remember it but its so much I could be filling in the blanks to make this current story make more sense

I’m assuming they’ll be on both shows for a while, if they’re ever even seen on Smackdown again

 

Damn, you could tell from the video his son posted a couple of weeks ago that he was in really rough shape, but this still hurts. RIP, Mr. #1derful.



The heel turn in ‘86 was awesome, even though you could see it coming. I remember being a little confused since he had just been a heel the year before. It was the first heel turn that I remember seeing. The storyline of him wanting to be as popular as Hogan was solid, to the point of him coming out to “Real American” and doing the cupped hand for the cheers. And I still think his feet touched the floor first during the SNME cage match. (Imagine that being dissected on Twitter if it happened today).

He also memorably main evented the first WM with Hogan, Piper and Mr. T.

His later career was OK, although his WCW run was mainly known for beating up Vader backstage and his Pretty Wonderful team with Paul Roma (that song, ugh!) RIP.

 

My brother was at this match with 60,000 others:

 

I just watched this. Laughed so hard I cried. Orndorff was a fantastic heel.

 

That finish would get totally destroyed on Twitter today. Orndorff gets DQed even though it wasn’t his fault that he knocked down Fonzie. Fonzie is KOed, so he couldn’t see Heenan interfere. Orndorff has Hogan pinned forever, Fonzie crawls over for the pin, but rather than have a dramatic kick out, he waves off the match.

Nostalgia rules for the Kayfabe Era, but a lot of things made little sense back then.

 

As irreplaceable as they are in the WWE backstage, I'm waiting for a stipulation where you've got to throw your opponent into those godforsaken metal pipes.

Looks like NXT sparking in-ring pushes for its two killers tonight -- Samoa Joe and Aliyah.

 

Holy crap, that bump Darby Allin took on the ring steps …

 

which he sold for roughly 45 seconds.

looked awful, hitting on the kidney instead of on the shoulder blades.
