It was over a year ago that the incident at Angrathar the Wrath Gate occurred. This event impressed the hell out of me. The Alliance actually attacking the front of something? I thought I must be seeing things.
Of course they weren't particularly good at this new tactic. Bolvar Fordragon, becoming easily overwhelmed (as expected) required a rescue from Dranosh Saurfang.
I won't bore you with the details. You all know what happened. After the event, a brave member of the Horde gathered young Saurfang's armor from the battlefield and flew back to Warsong Hold to inform High Overlord Varok Saurfang of his son's death.
His response? "My son died in battle, which is the most awesome thing ever. Cry and I'll stab you."
I may be paraphrasing there, but I got the gist of it.
Someone somewhere evidently had to go tell Varian "Worship me" Wrynn. I don't know what his response was, but it was evident by what he did next.
The Battle for the Undercity was a mighty affair. Demons poured from seemingly endless dimensions to try and overwhelm a small group of Horde heroes. Of course the Horde won. We always win.
The second the battle is over, who turns up but Old Whinypants himself. "Blah blah, whine whine, Bolvar is dead and I'm gonna get you etc."
I imagine the thought process went something like this:
Wrynn: "They killed Bolvar. Waaa!"
Soldier: "Sir, should we make funeral arrangements in order to properly honor our fallen comrade in a manner befitting a brave soldier?"
Wrynn: "NO! I wanna kill something. I wanna make them all pay, and hopefully in a way that is an embarrassment to myself and others."
Soldier: "Sir, we have intelligence reports that state three of the Horde leaders are currently en route to the Undercity in order to reclaim it. Shall we mount an intercept force and engage them?"
Wrynn: *gulp* "Err, why don't we wait until the battle is over? You know, let them warm up. That sort of thing."
Soldier: "Of course sir. How very Alliance of us."
Of course, Lady Jania rescued Wrynn right before Thrall was about to make him eat his own hand. A pity, really. We've seen how Wrynn handles death. I wouldn't mind seeing how he handles dying.
