that feels like something chikara might've done at one point, only with family-friendly spins on all the crimes

get some stunt kid in the crowd in on it so the top heel can literally steal candy from a baby

What's the highest "generation" of wrestlers a family has gotten to? Pretty sure there's several third generation I just can't think of them.

The von Erichs are third generation now, with Ross and Marshall wrestling in MLW and Lacey having had her stint in TNA.

The Guerreros also count with both Chavo Jr. and Shaul (Eddie and Vicki's daughter).

This is cool, I've always wondered if there's ever been a champ who took no pride in the belt and treated it with their disdain publicly.

not quite as bad, but there is the time that Tama Tonga chucked his newly-won ROH tag title in response to Enzo and Cass showing up without his knowledge, calling it "garbage" and a "piece of poo poo"

It's also maybe the last time Trips wrestling was actually a good idea. (Was the title run where he had the banger with Mox after that, I forget?)

After, Wrestlemania 30 was in 2014 and his title run was in 2016.

The best thing that resulted from the Brawl for All was the DSOTR episode detailing it, specifically the bit where The Godfather described how his then-wife got pissed at him for losing and blamed the loss on the massive amount of pot he'd smoked before the fight

Earlier today I was thinking about Cody's run as Stardust - more specifically, I was thinking about the famously bad match he had against Dustin near the end of that run, and how they put on a classic the next time they met at Double or Nothing 2019. Is there another case in wrestling history of there being such a wide disparity in quality between two consecutive contests featuring the same competitors?

That's fascinating, I wasn't even aware that Austin broke Chono's neck (much less the way he did it!)

That's another question, is there any other instance of merchandise acting as a red herring in the same way the Y2AJ shirts did? It seemed ridiculous that WWE would make merch for a team that would only last a matter of weeks, but, well.
