No way bro, best this season but no where near top 5
I think some others were better but at least Atlas didn't die. Some of the undisputed ones usually end with a dead wrestler or a retrospective on an extreme wrestler or promotion. FMW's for example was really good, but I have no appetite to watch it again.

Halfway through this episode I was wondering if they were gonna leave out a bunch of stuff, but they managed to get everything in without rushing it.

EDIT: found the True Life episode I mentioned earlier

It was easily my favorite ending of the show, and he’s the only one I’ve really rooted for I think at the end of the episode.


My dad had a stroke when i was 17 and my mom took care of him, so that hit close to home.


I actually very much remember that episode of True Life

that tony atlas ep

some of it made you shake your head (womens shoe thing, not being educated, homeless, racism) and some of it was sad..especially last 10 mins or so where his wife that saved him from the streets had a stroke and lives at the hospital and the fact he still laces up the boots to wrestle at 70

honestly that man needs to collab with someone to write a book

I thought it was a great episode.

I've actually liked this whole season, except the "Hell In A Cell" one that's been done to death.

Tony deserves to get his flowers.

I can only imagine that he's taken so much bullshyt from CACs during the '70s & '80s.

That's why I try to give old dudes the benefit of the doubt, a lot of them c00n because they were literally broken by racism & c00ning's the only way they learned how to deal with the pain. :francis:
