I heard a rumor that Ellering is the only one who had a surviving copy of the Last Battle of Atlanta. If so, it's probably not a coincidence he got a role on NXT TV right around the time the Network finally released footage of that match.

That was the rumor but it turned out WWE just had it sitting in their tape library for years

I can't believe WWE is sending Balor back to NXT after injuring himself at Summer Slam.

Sometimes I'm glad I read spoilers because that saves me from getting unnecessarily excited for the return of a wrestler I give a gently caress about only for it to turn out to be The Drifter.

Somebody who's seen TMDK/TM61 on the indies, please tell me their appeal? Thorne at least has a somewhat unique look with the tatts but Miller looks like a CAW, and their parachute material tights just weird me out. Did they do a lot more high-flying stuff back in the day?

In my mind, TM61 are the new Blake and Murphy -- competent-to-good wrestlers with no personality or discernible charisma. They've never gotten any emotion out of me stronger than "that was a pretty good match."

Every interaction between Joe and Regal makes me sad that they're not just building to a match between them.
If there's one thing Regal does get to do sometimes though, it's an epic promo when you piss him off enough. I really hope he gets to do that because he's on fire when he gets good material.

Just a reminder that this match is based on a Mattel NXT Playset:

I'm finally warming up to TM61. Their matches have been fun enough, and their new promo time gives them some personality that I'm digging. Trust fall!

They just seem SO BLAND on the way to the ring though. Before the match kicks in I'm like "Why should anyone care?" and I thought that for months on end.

Yeah I've got no problem with TM61, they seem like Nice Boys and all but they are competing as NXT face tag teams with DIY who are probably my favorite guys on NXT just now, and Swann and Jose who are a lot more exciting in and out of the ring.

I gotta agree with this. I didn't even know they only had 2 years of training. Their match with DIY was really good.

Every time I hear the name Authors of Pain I can't help thinking of the industrial band Author and Punisher, and I'm fairly sure it's intentional because their theme song isn't too far off from A&P's music.

I always remember that Akam is fatter D-Lo Brown with The Rock's tattoo.

Rezar is just currently "the other one" to me.

I really hope that Otis Dozovic is someone WWE wants to succeed. Especially since my former favourite big guy Bull Dempsey turned out to be a bit of an idiot.

Wonder if that will be his finisher, a combination spinning back heel kick into a german suplex. It'll probably be just one of his finishers, though.

i went to one of these wrestling shows and it was... honestly? frickin boring. i wanna see ricky! i want to see his gold chains and respect for the ftw lifestyle
i like that nikki cross is in sanity because i liked her the couple times they had her on the show before hand and its good they're giving her something to work with, but i just can't shake the feeling that the whole gimmick feels very TNA

hell of a better women's angle than billie kay and, uh, the other one with the "Australian Bitches" act though.

"Look how crazy we are" is the shittiest laziest gimmick in wrestling. That's why every local indie has a Psycho Bob or a Twisted Tim.
