this episode was cool but it wasn't really "dark", only thing dark about this chick was her gimmick :manny:

Grizzly Smith still easily the darkest shyt of this whole season so far :merchant: ain't nothing topping that

:picard:Breh...normally I am a weirdo when it comes down to watching dark shyt, but that episode I had to watch one damn time:hubie:.

What a evil old b*stard:merchant:

Watching the episode now. I didn't know Luna was adopted into the Vachon family when she was a kid. Not surprised about the Moolah stuff. I read about Luna's experience. Dope that they got Mad Maxine on this episode too. Luna lived a rough life. Definitely an interesting episode so far.

Glad to see Van is still doing well too. He was a great contestant on Hell's Kitchen.

That ending wow :laff::laff:

Some of these docs have segments that feel like WWE hit pieces, but I can’t really say that about this episode cause Luna has been gone for 11 years and those excerpts of how she felt about wrestling were already in the books. Saying Sable told her she didn’t have to take bumps cause she’s be champ sounded about right.

I do question the legitimacy of Madusa though, cause I’ve been doing a lot of Raw rewatching, and despite there not being a lot of women on the roster at that point, women’s matches were surprisingly getting good reactions, but once Medusa dipped to WCW and tossed the WWF women’s title in the trash, the WWF entirely scrapped the division and all you saw relating to woman was Marlena with Goldust, Sunny doing pre-intros and pushing merch in between matches and eventually managing Bodydonnas, Faarooq, and Smoking Gunns, and eventually Sable with Mero and Chyna with HHH. Their women’s division before they brought the back the title was as putrid as WCW’s not too long after Madusa got there.

I loved Luna as a kid :pachaha: Her with Bam Bam and seeing her in ECW were my favorites. I always thought she'd be great in the attitude era but with the way they had the women working, she was being wasted. I marked out when the showed the WWF Monday Night Raw game :banderas: Played that shyt night and day on sega :pachaha: I think Mick was right, she'd love the women's division now. Sad she never got to see it. fukk Moolah.
