    Probably the post impressive thing about The New Day gimmick is the fact that they turn it around and make it work no matter what The McMahons throw at them. You see this pattern over the years, and the people that have that hunger to succeed will always rise to the top.

      I think Kofi is genuinely the best and most decorated tag team wrestler of all time. Even before New Day his resume was impressive - and then New Day happened, and it's arguably the best tag team act of all time. And he's had some killer singles work too! One of the greats.

    Neck injuries suck. The muscle probably did help e, My grandfather got a log dropped on him from a crane and broke his neck, if he wasn't so rugged it would have crippled him probably... same with E.
    I've broken mine as well in a car wreck.. no seat belt hit a pole and flipped on the roof... I don't like big E on screen that much but I hope he gets better. Wish you all the best.
    Great show

    Small correction, Kofi slipped. It was the Lightning Express with Tim Horner, not the Midnight Express
