It was really sweet seeing Tony Atlas take care of his wife (who saved him from homelessness) after she had a stroke.

This episode had one of the most heart-warming endings ever in the series. God bless Tony's wife.

The ending was as heart warming as anybody could imagine.

Atlas is like a very likeable uncle. Really sad to see his wife suffered a stroke, But he is a good man for going to see her every day and take care of her after she saved him from homelessness.

Tony was the last and only friend Bruiser Brody had in his final hours. I believe every word about Brody's murder that Tony has said about that night. His story has never changed on almost 40 years

I’d like to hear Jim’s thoughts on Cena praising him for teaching him and the rest of the guys in OVW about the business on Pat McAfee’s show, at around the 25-minute mark.

Tony’s story has always been that he was homeless prior to Saba Simba

So this episode reminded my body that my tear ducts still function. Teared up when his current wife took him in, then teared up again when she had a stroke. Life can be so severely effed up.

The episode did say the outcome of the klan meeting. They got back and the boys were laughing and saying "we didn't think you'd really go."

That really might be one of the best thumbnail covers ever. So on point, lol

Tony: "It's not a fetish"
CUT TO LEGENDS HOUSE
Tony gets thrown a sneaker and starts licking his lips and bugging his eyes out

Tony's wife didn't want Mr. USA putting Tammy's ankles behind her ears over in Tennessee, so the tour was canceled. 😂😂😂

The artwork is on point. Tony licking the window; Corny dressed as Al Bundy; Gary's Shoe Store (where Al worked). Terrific...

Met Tony at a car show in Calgary Alberta back in 2000. He and Tito Santana were signing pics. They were class acts and I enjoyed talking to them about the classic days.

According to the available records, Tony Atlas's last WWF match before his 1984 firing was part of a spot show held at my future high school (about a decade before my freshman year).
This meshes perfectly with my feelings about that place – where hopes and dreams go to die.
