"An Astonishing Turn of Events"

Readers this is the first, and maybe the last time, a post will begin with a quote from Mike Adamle. "An astonishing turn of events" was Adamle's reaction to Tony Atlas, a WWE Hall of Fame inductee, allying himself with the self-proclaimed "World's Strongest Champion" Mark Henry. This occurred in a non-title bout between Henry and Tommy Dreamer. Henry was about to attack Colin Delaney, Dreamer's protege, when special guest announcer Tony Atlas did the job for him. Atlas then celebrated the supposed victory with the fellow strong man (Atlas was once Mr.USA). It is currently unknown whether Atlas will become the ECW Champion Henry's manager or if this was a one-off deal. If he does join Mark as his manager, I would be disappointed if they take promo time away from Henry because he is quite a polished talker. I find it rather weird that they would bring in Tony Atlas as a manage because of the company's lack of the role. He could be met by Paul Bearer. Bearer has been rumored to possibly return after Kane's "Is he alive or is he dead?" rant on Raw last Monday. I certainly hope he is the subject of Kane's craze instead of the other rumored names (Vince McMahon and the Undertaker.) Well, it seems we will have to tune into WWE programming Monday and Tuesday to see the fallout of both storylines.
