4. “Big Rig”

Later, Britt Baker had another nice touch to share with everyone. She and Penelope Ford lost a tag match to Tay Conti and Anna Jay, which sent the dentist off on one. Baker demanded that Tony Schiavone amble his way to the ring, because she had something to say.

Britt spoke of conspiracies, said the bout must've been rigged and then craftily said, "The whole thing is kind of a BIG RIG!". If you're unaware, that was one of the nicknames Brodie Lee used during his career, and it was clever of Baker to insert her own mini-tribute to his legacy during her promo.

That raised a smile.

The fact Britt was able to push her p*ssed off heel persona and slot this easter egg into Dynamite is impressive. She gave the program some levity without showing any disrespect, which cannot have been easy to do. Top notch work.
