WWE Hall of Famer Mick Foley, who was live in attendance at last night’s WWE NXT event in Philadelphia, posted the following commentary on last night’s show:
A HAPPY NIGHT FOR WRESTLING HISTORY
I feel so privileged to have witnessed history last night; watching #SashaBanks and #MsCharlotte tear the house down in an inspiring WWE NXT main event at the Tower Theater in #Philadephia. Wrestling fans always have a handful of matches they just can’t forget; those special matches filed with moments that leave lasting impressions. For me, this main event between Sasha & Charlotte is one such match.
The crowd was great – enthusiastic and creative, but respectful of both women, and seemingly appreciative of the significance of the occasion. The women were outstanding – and there was just that something special in the air – that special brand of magic that can turn a great match into a lifelong memory.
So why, in a post about a monumental night for #WomensWrestling, am I featuring a photo of a bunch of dudes? Because look how happy we are? I’m like Ebeneezer Scrooge on Christmas morning type happy here – having just learned that the ladies would be in the main event. My daughter snapped this shot of Triple H taking an impromptu selfie with me and Joey Styles. When I got back to my seat, I looked at Joey and said, “we’re both adults, right.” Joey nodded in affirmation, “Then why”, I asked “do I fee like I’m 10 years old?”
Wrestling can do that to a guy sometimes.
Which magic match will you never forget? Which matches, moments or promos are seared into your memory for all time?
