I mean all things being equal, there would probably be a few in attendance who recognized Young's weird wheelbarrow neckbreaker from TNA, but not enough and not quickly enough to start a chant. It's literally a "we read dirtsheets" chant. At least when people count visual pinfalls or whatever they're ostensibly serving the story in the ring.

Was there any dirtsheets about Eric Young and Sanity before the taped spoilers?

Wolfe and Fulton were definitely working the Florida house shows but I'm not 100% certain if Young was with them. Pretty sure the names were out there before the tapings, though.

*e yeah the tapings were in September, the full stable was working house shows in late August. Our boy had the hookup: http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?goto=post&postid=463599514#post463599514

I don't know about "fun" but the Dusty Tag Team Classic #2 just started up and the ~*SaNiTy*~ stable debuted last week, featuring former (possibly future???) jobbers Sawyer Fulton and Alexander Wolfe plus a repackaged Eric Young in what can only be described as a Black Bloc anarchist gimmick. They faced Roode and Tye, who tagged briefly until Roode walked out on Tye to set up a match at Takeover Canada. Andrade lost matches against Austin Aries and Cedric Alexander, then tagged with Alexander and beat him down after a loss, thus turning heel, which should hopefully help his rudderless push (it helps that Cedric was white hot as a face after the CWC). Mickie James is challenging Asuka at the next Takeover since no other women in the actual division have caught on (plus Asuka is Joshi Hogan with stiffer kicks). You'd think Ember Moon would have gotten a push but she's barely been seen.

All the other storylines are more or less where they were, otherwise.

Really? I recognized him from the jacket. It's pretty distinct looking and he was wearing it in his last appearance. Also the house show thing. Full Sail's crowd is often insufferable, but I'm not seeing it in this instance. It's not like they were chanting JBL.

"I was very impressed by the physiques and wrestling ability of these trainees my son-in-law had hired. For some strange reason he never wanted Big Show, Kane or Undertaker to stand next to any of them within my view, insisting they be standing far in the background. He also refused to let me meet any of them unless I was sitting down. He was very adamant on this subject. I think I can make this Neville kid a huge star though, so I've arranged behind Paul's back to meet him in person, can't wait to look him in the eye."

I *think* Rodderick Strong is on the tour.

Hopefully WWE will post a class photo for the new NXT recruits today. Amongst them are:

Alvin Abitz
Big Damo
Mary Dobson
Max Wessell
Tommy End
Victoria Gonzalez

Other recruits that are already there for months might be included too.

I only know Mary Dobson from that one Alexa match where she hosed up a spot, and a visibly pissed off Alexa gave her a stiff-rear end receipt. Is she actually good enough to care about?

Picture mini Chris Hero if he were way into black metal instead of rap music and threw roundhouse kicks instead of elbows and you're on the right track. He's really good and I think he could be huge in WWE with the right presentation/push.
