A few days late but this little gem from the Summer of 2018 gave us the dream match of The New Day vs The Elite.. Street Fighter Edition! Not sure how true it is but I read that New Japan agreed to have the actual 6 Man Tag Match take place between The New Day & The Elite but ROH & WWE said no.

With Forbidden Door coming up, Omega's promo after the contest really stands out considering this was before AEW and that he had a desire to bring wrestling together.. and to open the door to create something fun for the fans.

Quote:

"You know, it's true. Years and years and years ago, two men set out on a path. A path to change not only the wrestling world but the world of video games as well. We felt that, yes, these two worlds should come together. They should unite. We shouldn't be against each other, we should all work together towards one common goal." "Guess what, everyone? We don't hate each other. In fact, what we want to do is work together to give you guys the best entertainment package you've ever seen. As far as I'm concerned, step 1 was a giant success. This feud, as of today, is over. However, at some point in time, Creed, I hope I run into you again.

I only saw a few clips, but it's weird seeing some of this stuff in WCW, especially 1992.

JR and Jesse Ventura commentating together. I never even knew Ventura was ever in WCW.

Paul E Dangerously bringing out Cactus Jack to attack Steamboat, and Cactus faced Sting in a falls count anywhere match.

Johnny B Badd was just weird

15 years ago, one of the most horrific moments in wrestling history happened.

Vengeance 2007, Punk vs Benoit for the ECW title. But Benoit was unable to attend due to a "family emergency".

All of it is just so crazy to think about.

Everything that happened was over the course of a weekend. It's not like he snapped and just one night everything went down. This was a full on weekend which even involved texting and calling others and giving fake stories and updates.

It will always be something that's just so tragic to think about and how everything went down.

NXT

Becky Lynch makes her WWE debut with some terrible Irish dancing



and Rob Van Dam takes on Neville in the main event

[UFCMPunk]

Before she was Big Time Becks, The Man or the Lass Kicker........ Becky Lynch debuted on NXT on this day 8 years ago.

[Majingir]

Becky's transformation in NXT was one of the reasons why early NXT was so good. You had actual character development. That debuting Becky on the main roster would've flopped big time (no pun intended).

Such a small thing, but the Takeover when Becky and I think Sasha as well both debuted their new hair colours made them both drastically stand out in a good way.

Still one of my favorite NXT matches from that period. It's a shame it doesn't get talked about more.
