Now that they've acknowledged that Evers is Ellering's daughter, can we get some interaction between her and the AoP on NXT sometime?

Have it be like the post-credits scene at the end of The Avengers when they're all eating at the shwarma place.

Seriously though, based on some of the things that were brought up on JR's recent podcast with Lita and Madusa, Rachel going into wrestling actually caused a bit of a rift between her and her father for a little while, because he didn't want her going in to what can be a really scummy business at times. It's only been healed fairly recently, too.

I have a hard time siding against Paul for anything, after learning that he was a sled dog racer, and I present myself here as a sled dog, myself..

Since AoP seems to be colliding with Sanity, maybe Rachel gets recruited to counter Nikki Cross.

I was shocked when I found out Serena Deeb only just turned 31. I just assumed she had to be in her mid to late 30s, but goddamn. I'd love it if she got signed on and was given another shot with the company. That'd be a tremendous redemption story, much like Kendrick, but this time as a face.

[Dave the Dave]

So Ellering got the old Curtis Axel where they tell you about the family history but give them a fake name anyway.

She's used that name since her first NXT appearance, and they only acknowledged her relationship with him with this (at in more than a passing way).

[Crappler El 0 M]

They called her Rachael Ellering originally, and mentioned that she was the daughter of Paul.

Later Paul Ellering debuted as a regular NXT manager.

When Rachael returned, they changed her name to Evers and stopped referencing that she was Paul's daughter. They named her after her trainer Lance Storm, who actually has a daughter named Rachael Evers.

I believe the Mae Young Classic special was the first time they mentioned that Rachael was Paul's daughter since she was renamed.

Serena Deeb may not have been the only talent scheduled to come out of retirement for this, apparently. Former TNA Women's Champion Taylor Wilde (the one that was paid so little she still had a day job selling sunglasses despite being champion) was contacted about entering and probably would have done so, had she not suffered an undisclosed injury in training.

Could have been a hurt vag or her ovaries exploded

Jim Ross and Dave Meltzer discuss the MYC and women's wrestling in general in this week's Ross Report podcast. I've not listened to it yet, so I don't know if they go into any spoilers during the discussion, so listen with caution.

[Slanted and Enchanted]

So, the majority of matches have already been taped and won't air for another month? Ugh, it's going to take some serious dedication (and luck) not to run into any spoilers.

I've already caved to temptation and checked the results. Thankfully, I know that I won't remember any of them.

They were talking about this on Wrestling Observer Live how the whole plan of them releasing all 4 episodes at once and how stupid it is, they just think because Netflix do it, they have to do it. Plus who is going to want to watch all 4 hours at once. They are right too - releasing them weekly makes a hell of a lot more sense.

Or even releasing them all at once instead of 4 one week and 4 another week.

At the very least, you can have people watch one and then they can keep coming back to watch the others unless they want to bindge on all 8 at once.

Edit: And if they don't think people would do that, I bundled the entire series of Stranger Things one weekend. 8 hours of wrestling in comparison is nothing.

There are spoilers in it, though I think there's only one specific match result that Jim Ross gives. There are other milder spoilers like saying how many matches certain people had during the tapings.

All in on the girl from Sacramento!!!

Anyone think they really missed out by not airing this as soon as it was actually taped, I feel the hype has died down immensely now, I had forgotten what date its suppose to air and it took me about 10 minutes to even find this thread!
