Wonder if this will extend to television... Perhaps even a NAO/Rhodes Scholars match at the Rumble? I thought when Road Dogg did his schtick at the Slammys, it came off very dated and forced. I dunno about a nostalgia trip, but maybe it will go over well. He was at last year's Slammys too, and it sounds like it was the same sort of thing. But man, he got a helluva reaction at the Rumble a month later.

What's the deal with MysteriCara? Cara needs/got knee surgery (still messed up from Survivor Series last year I think it was) and they want to take it easy on Rey so he can work Mania.

Not bad, should be a nice pop and lead to some great Road Dogg-Sandow promos.
Honestly, Road Dogg has shaped his schtick to fit into 2012/2013 better than most. I watched some of his 99/2000 work recently, and there's a lot of catchphrases that are now super-dated which he's not using. He's also stopped doing that weird pelvic-thrust pump-handle slam.
Should be a fun addition to the card. The only other team from that era I would love to see back in the mix is The Headbangers. They're looking great and have made every team I've seen them face on the indies seem like a million bucks.

What's the deal with MysteriCara? Sin Cara's injured, and according to Dave Meltzer -- Rey's taking time off for an undisclosed "family situation".

It would be a good novelty match if it was quick, don't get me wrong. I just don't know if their styles would work against each other well.

Yeah, it's not a big match or anything, I just think it would be cool to see them square off since Dolph modeled himself after Billy. It'd just be nice to have a solid tv match somewhere now that they're both under the same roof, you know?

Dolph's better than Billy ever was though. And I thought Billy was pretty damn good. He just had awful facial expressions and could not cut a promo. Ziggler doesn't particularly excel at those things either, but he's not actively terrible at them.
Billy's taller. I'll graciously give him that.

I hope the NAO catch on with the crowd again and it leads to the creation of an all dumpster match ppv. That'd be fun.

It would have been a 2 hour and 15 minute drive for me to get to the arena in Detroit last night. Due to the snow we got, and the fact that I couldn't find my passport to get me into the U.S., I decided not to go at the last minute.
I'll bet Billy Gunn and Road Dogg had an awesome time last night. Good for them. I hope the fan reactions were enough for the road agents to recommend a couple of appearances on RAW in the coming weeks.
