Flair's win over Wahoo is definitely going to get the fans even more hot at him. The Russians continue to decimate the Harts by illegal means. It's only a matter of time before the Harts don't have enough left to defend the belts. HUGE win for Hogan and co. against the Horsemen. If that doesn't get him a little closer to a title match with Flair I don't know what will. Valentine/Hennig would have been match of the night in-ring. Valentine's post-match reaction tells me things aren't over though.

The Japanese babyface being cheated out of a win by the American heel, what a novel concept. Rotundo getting a win over Sullivan is sweet revenge. Cactus and Nord feeling the new attitude that Jake has embraced? Pillman has been on fire of late. Roberts starts his revenge tour with Dundee. Garvin helping out Adams is a nice show of respect. Tough break for Spiveymania, but that shoulder had to catch up with him eventually. Will he be able to recover from this setback? Tanaka vs. Shiro Koshinaka would have been a fun, athletic match. I like the challengers you give Tanaka a lot. Steamboat vs. Sabu sounds like a match you'd have to see to believe. Sheepherders are on a roll in the AWA. Pillman and Burke is a can't miss match at this point. Dundee seems to be moving into the role of elevating younger talent, which fits him well. Adams finding some wins is a nice change. British Steel vs. the Bullies is almost as good a match as either one ofthem against Black Irish. Bock, Saito and Larry Z with a tough first defense of their titles. Sheepherders hurting the tag champs sounds about right. Steamer vs. Sawyer is yet another unexpectd matchup, but it would definitely be worth the while.

Adonis turning on Street after the loss was a nice touch. His reasons make a lot of sense too. Lawler busting HTM over the head with the guitar was a great way to pay off that build. JYD with a big win over Murdoch, I wonder if he'll be back to help in that fight. Wright and the Long Riders seems like it should work. Poor Bullet Bob keeps getting the odds stacked way, way against him. I liked the moment of doubt about Rich before he handed the purse to Baby Doll a lot. RnRs match was done right. No need to mess with success. Taylor as the new champ is a great choice. He's been on a tear in the NWA of late and deservedly so. Whoa! Fun ending to the tag titles match. Dr. Death on the wrong side of a Barb/Haku beating is a nice way to turn him face. Didn't see it coming at all though. Jarrett and Armstrong as champs should be a fun run as well. Ole as the Russian Assassin is perfect. That sneaky old bastard. Magnum TA will have to wait a while for another shot if Ivan and Ole have any say about it. Awesome show that lives up to the hype and sets some things up as well.

First off, Hogan's NWO starts crumbling after the Goldberg loss. There is dissension, losses by the undercard members all over the place with Hogan getting pissed and starting to clean house until it is down to him, Scott Steiner and maybe a few others. Hall has his showdown with Nash and they rejoin forces in short order. Goldberg beats Scott Steiner after a good build. Hogan and Bischoff just walk away from the whole damn thing in disgust. Bischoff remains the evil dictator, now relying on his position instead of the NWO. Wolfpack keeps going a bit after the Hall defection, but it becomes clear that Sting, Lex and the rest are second class citizens after Hall is back in the fold. The Outsiders gt the tag belts and start lording them over the rest of the group before finally turning heel by attacking Sting/Lex in a big tag match (of course it looks like they mean to attack the opponents first). Which sets up Sting and Lex for a tag title feud. Goldberg would get high level opponents, probably Sting and Luger before the above scenario, which would be the start of the wedge driven between Nash/Hall and Sting/Lex. Hogan would probably feud with Bret after the dissension started in the B&W NWO and I could see him ordering gang beatings of guys after they didn't get the job done against Bret as well. Have him turn into a ruthless bastard who can't handle failure after all of his success. While all of this is going on DDP would get his Goldberg feud and use that loss (he got a lot of momentum from that) as a springboard to get the U.S. title. Feed him heels that can dish out a convincing beating to keep the mystique of the Diamond Cutter going on and build him to a main event spot. Bret would be hanging around the upper midcard/main event scene after the Hogan feud. I could see him feuding with Nash/Hall eventually due to their admitted history. Giant and Savage would have to be used as well, but keep them far away from Hogan. Piper and Warrior are tough, but you can probably get something out of both. Warrior can keep Hogan busy for a while if Bret isn't willing or work with Savage. Piper could be a nice surprise partner for Bret against Hall & Nash. One thing I would absolutely do. Faces of Fear are your new gatekeeers to the main event. Put the tag titles on them after Sting/Lex and let them run with it. Keep Jimmy Hart as only their manager. On the midcard front, Harlem Heat need to keep a lot of momentum and work towards a feud with whoever the tag champs are. They can hold the belts for a while, always one of the more over teams in WCW and the next best home grown team behind the Steiners. Get Dean Malenko a gimmick that allows him to show the charisma and sense of humor everyone attributes to him backstage. Maybe the fans can get behind him a little bit. You've got a good core of experienced midcard guys in Malenko, Eddie, Benoit, Jericho, Saturn (a little bit of a drop in ability, but still good) and Disco if you ever let him be more than a buffoon. Booker and Stevie Ray taking time to do singles runs in between tag feuds (when they aren't champs) would work well. Rick Steiner has always been over and he could work in this mix too. Scott Norton as a credible upper midcard monster would be great, but he'd have to spend some time on the midcard first. Cruiserweights would stay in largely the same role. Maybe trim the fat with these guys some. They are a great addition to the show, but having more than 10 or 12 at a time is excessive. Bringing back Flair is done exactly as it was on night 1. Easily my favorite Nitro moment ever and if they had capitalized on it we wouldn't be having this conversation. More to that point, we are cutting Nitro down to 2 hours (or keeping it there) and Thunder only gets 1 hour. Guys like Virgil, Hugh Morrus and Bagwell are gone. Basically trim down all the guys we have zero need for/won't play ball/don't have us bent over. Maybe some sensible contract extensions. Alex Wright makes the job squad and he can work his way to a midcard spot. We're shutting down the Powerplant or making it worthwhile. If we sign a big name, we have a gimmick in mind and several feuds to start them off with before hand. One person is in charge and everyone knows it (once creative control is dealt with). One thing I think we don't consider is that Hogan didn't have WCW over the barrel as much as they thought. Do you really think Vince was going to hand Hogan creative control? I have serious doubts about that, even in the middle of a war. Vince had to know how much of a poison that was in WCW and would be in his locker room. So my feeling is Hogan would have found some difficulty sticking it to WCW the way he would have wanted to and had to reconsider his options.

Where to begin? I suppose the beginnning... Great opener to get the crowd rolling. Infernales would make perfect foils for most babyface teams. Rip Oliver vs. Blackjack should be a super hot feud. And Oliver comes in off of an honorable win over Valiant. Tony St. Clair the Southern brawler continues to be a fun use of him. Good way to salvage the draw between Rich and Prichard. Big, HUGE win for Kirchner and the Rougeaus after that build. Bad News making a name for himself FAST in MACW! I'm sure that J.J. will have some things to say about this. Blackwell and Steamer is such a welcome addition to this card. And a dream match if I ever saw one! Bull Gantner showing up save Dusty was great. Fun brawl between Hansen and Dusty with a new ally for Big Dust at the end. Orndorff finally gets his definitive win against Race and big things should be ahead for him in MACW. Haku and Snuka in a feud? Sign me up!! Fuller is not done with Idol and I couldn't be happier. Too bad Idol missed his shot at the title though. DiBiase barely escapes with his title. Duggan gave him a Hell of a beating and deserves the fans respect after that one. What a great show with talent from everywhere! Excellent job on this one and I'd say your gamble in giving up the Horsemen paid off big here. Also, I agree that this comes across more like Starrcade than the Bash.

Dusty bringing in Bruisr Brody?!? Putski and Rogers is a nice way to start a feud. I wonder who Pringle's new hire is! Lights out match sounds great, really good use of Dr. D. Great, great way for the Fabs to get the rub there. Helping the Von Erichs is going to put them over big with the Dallas crowd. Rogers getting heat on Putski after a loss is the right next step. Puts Putski over but also makes sure that the fans want to see him beat Rogers again, and worse. Super D's winning the title shot is a great choice. Headhunters and Fabs would have been an incredible match. The elimination match was really well done. Brody should figure into Texas in a good way for a little while. Kerry gets the win in the Lights Out match and sends the fans home happy.

Haven't been feeling up to all of the dialogue the last few weeks. It will come back eventually. Original Airdate June 27th, 1986 Jonathan Boyd and the Crusher beat los Assassins with an assisted three point clothesline. Owen Hart came to the desk for an interview, calling Ricky Santana a coward again for bringing in Jos LeDuc. Rickin pointed out that Owen had first had Abdullah Tamba attck Santana, which Owen denied having any involvement in. Owen said he was going to show the world that he was the better wrestler than Ricky Santana on July 5th. TNT beat Mr. Z with the cobra dinamita (cobra clutch). Gama Singh came to the entrance during the match. Singh made a move towards the ring when El Profe had TNT keep the hold on after the bell, but the hold was released before he got halfway to the ring. Abdullah Tamba was in the Sports Shop. Chicky talked about how he and his cousin Ronnie were going to embarass los Super Medicos in the main event tonight so badly they wouldn't bother showing up on July 5th, Owen Hart's innocence in Abdullah Tamba's attack on Ricky Santana, and Carlitos Colon's idiocy for challenging ABdullah the Butcher. He also talked about how tonight Abdullah Tamba would show all of the fans how superior he was to an old Canadian lumberjack whose time had passed years ago. The match between LeDuc and Tamba has been signed for July 5th. The Caribbean Express beat Armandito Salgado & Domingo Robles with a vertical suplex/flying crossbody combination. The Batten Twins came to the desk and talked about how they were going to prove to Barrabas and all of the great fans that they belonged in the WWC on July 5th. Hangman Bobby Jaggers beat Tejano with a hangman's neckbreaker. Dutch Mantell came running out after the bell sounded and the two men brawled around the ring, avoiding foreign objects. Victor the Bodyguard ran out with a baseball bat and hit Dutch from behind, setting up a two on one beating of Dutch. Los Super Medicos were at the desk talking about how they felt ready for the Starrs. The Starrs are taking them for granted and that will work in their favor. In the main event, Jos LeDuc and los Super Medicos took on Abdullah Tamba and los Primos Starr, the WWC Caribbean Tag Champs. LeDuc and the Medicos started hot, but Medico 1 fell victim to a tumble to the floor when Chicky pulled the top rope down as he was about to hit the ropes. He took quite a beating but managed to tag in LeDuc, who cleaned house (including Tamba). Things broke down when LeDuc followed Tamba outside and the Starrs started in on him. Los Super Medicos evened the odds on the floor and the match ended when Chicky Starr took a chair shot from Super Medico 2 before being rolled into the ring by 1 and pinned for the 1, 2, 3. LeDuc and Tamba brawled to the back as a bloody Chicky Starr shouted angrily at los Super Medicos from the ring.

Brody and Maeda was a great clash of styles. Ramblers get their shot, but my guess is that Polynesian Power isn't done with them. Submission match went about as perfect as it could have with Rheingans winning. Loved the 6-man to end the show and send the fans home happy.

I like the focus on the Awesome Twosome. I expected the Singh attack at this point, but St. Clair got his licks in too. Oliver and Jones are not going to be together long, I can feel it. Rock Riddle being insulted by Davey Baby talking to Tommy Rich is perfect. Bundy at the Bash, what could go wrong? Solid babyface show with a few exceptions. The Awesome Twosome continue to gain momentum, should be fun to watch them in MACW.

Good start with the announcement. I do want to hear Don Owen on at points during each TV talking about the various cross promotional events in the area and all of the kid friendly wrestling days. It would bring me back to actually watching Portland footage. I had a deal with Big Time where he had access to Dutch Mantell, Bobby Jaggers and the Fantastics on days besides Wednesdays and my big shows (July 5th is next, will not need the Fantastics for that). That deal stands for you as well. If you like anybody else on the roster we can talk availability for the Gauntlet or just as talent to help out while you get established.

Here's a match I watched after seeing these two in a six-man. Definitely under the radar but I felt like it was worth it at the time.

Poor Kleihege. Poor, poor bastard. Can-ams having a good showing against the veterans, nice! Larry taking all the credit will surely end well. I LOVE that interview with Jake. It even read like a damn Jake interview. Also, poor, poor Resnick. I can't wait to see what Jake has in store! Love the Sheepherders doing Sheepherder things. Piper nabbing White can only mean bad things for the rest of the AWA. Playboy After Dark gets a ton of heat here.

I hate getting this behind..... Akbar getting the Roadies stripped of one set of titles is big. Graham with a big win that goes south. The Russian angle is so well done. Magnum taking apart one of the Assassins in ten seconds is awesome. And Nikita answering. Super fucking Watts-ian promo with Bill and Magnum. Great job and I loved using Ivan's own boasts against him as a bonus. "ornerier than a rattlesnake sunning himself on a cactus." Awesome stuff from JR. Big match for the 4th between Murdoch and JYD. Again, very Watts. I liked the crazy finish of the Armstrong/Murdoch match. Loved Corny getting sprayed in the face while providing the distraction. So very Cornette. Street and Adonis messing with the Long Riders is fun and would get them over in spite of the gimmick. Big win for Doom, a team I wish had been around much longer. Devastation getting the clean win is a nice bit of bait-and-switch booking. Oh man, did Watts ever get Eddie Gilbert. Bash is already going to be one Hell of a show and we have one week of build left!

Infernales are rocking of late. I love seeing Charland get a big push. Bruce bouncing back with a win is nice to see as well. Main event would have been a fun match. Borne is one of those guys I really enjoy watching but haven't seen enough of. I wonder who attacked Charland. Abdullah would keep most anyone at bay! Probably a good choice by Paul E. Goto's debut was far more successful than Saito's first 2 matches. Poisson with a big win over the departing Benoit. Adias and Sunny are going to have to settle their differences at some point. Love the way Borne got his win. Art Crews with a big, BIG win for the Agency. What can this mean for his tag team affiliations? Martel has taken a beating the last few months. How long can he hold up? Great card for Heatstroke that sets up a lot of things. Satanico for 25 minutes against anyone works. He is such an amazing wrestler. Harley is on a tear when he's not up against Orndorff. Andre has been dominant in Lutte, as he ought to be. Kokina over Snuka would have been a sleeper of a good match. Jacques seems to be a focal point of late and he should be.

Houston is getting the rub in more than one promotion. Nice to see something go his way. I have to agree with Hart. Can't think of a better Texas champ than the Funker. Incredible angle to finish the show with Lawler eating a fireball and DUSTY coming out to make a challenge! If that TV doesn't get the fans hot for what comes next, nothing will. Oh, and those Freebirds have a little heat with Texas crowds at this point. Southern Boys vs. DWBs would have been Southern tag wrestling at it's finest. Kevin and Terry going to a DCO seems right. Wrestling 2 taking the fall is a surprise, but in a good way. Freebirds get the win in the right way for everyone involved. Dr. D! Love how you keep throwing surprises out there in meaningful ways.

Infernales stealing the titles! Backlund with a big win over Rheingans. Submission match seems perfect for those two. Jones and Oliver appear to be on the same page, but for how long? Houston going after Bundy is a great way of re-introducing him to the territory. Win or lose he ends up looking good. Youngblood vs. Mulligan is a nice addition to any card. Rich gets a solid title defense with some story development added on. Great, GREAT way to end the show with Duggan making a statement. St. Clair and Singh are slowly building an unexpected good feud. Cobra and SBS would have been one Hell of a workrate feud in the 80s. Jones and Oliver might not be working together after all. Idol is looking all kinds of ready for his big match. The main is all kinds of awesome with two of your hottest feuds in the ring at the same time. Duggan again is looking like a world-beater. Iron Mike gets a win! Big win for Rude and Fernandez. I like putting them over a midcard team in a competitive bout, helps everyone. Backlund continues to have the Professor's number of late, bad shoulder and all. Houston giving Bundy a challenge is the right call. Kirch getting one up on Kernodle was needed. Kernodle was getting a little too cocky for his own good. That 8-man tag is a great way to use your midcarders. Have 3 feuds in the ring at once and just let 'em rip. It would be more than enough to keep a crowd happy, especially given the finish. I really can't say enough about how you've developed your roster. You have a ton of guys you can plug into different feuds and not miss a beat. Flair/Horsemen and Hogan are guys that demand a lot of attention for sure and it's hard to not make them the focus of every show. What you have going is a good amount of midcard/upper midcard guys who can plug into main event slots when you don't have the focus on your top two (Race/Orndorff and DiBiase/Duggan for me) feuds.

Sting over Bad News is a big win. The 6-man preceding that match would have been a lot of fun. Arn and Tully against Tito and Billy Jack is a great semi-main. Fans definitely got their money's worth in the main with Wahoo being added to the list of guys the Horsemen have screwed over.

That dastardly Paul Roma! Great angle there. Bret took a few for the team and Davey capitalized on the opportunity. I wonder if there will be dissension after that. Atlas and the Rockers are a good pairing. Janetty and Michaels make up for what Atlas can't bring to the table and the other way around. Great way to end Prime Time, hyping up all the big main event feuds.

I go Jetlag last week and have seen nothing yet. I can pair up with Microstatics. No worries on watching a few matches if need be.

Shorter format again, with a highlight and some big stuff in there. Original Airdate June 20th, 1986 The show opens with the announcement that Carlitos Colon has been cleared to wrestle and his training has begun for the big rematch with Abdullah the Butcher. Los Super Medicos beat Mr. X & Y with an assisted senton (Medico 1, slamming 2 on top of Mr. Y). Ricky Santana came out with a Jos LeDuc in a lumberjack outfit. Jacques Rougeau had recommended this man, Santana said, if any kind of trouble with big men came up. Since Owen Hart was going to rely on Chicky Starr to supply muscle, Santana went to Canada to find his muscle. LeDuc said he was impressed with Tamba's agility, but wondered if it would be enough to beat a bigger, stronger, more experienced wrestler. And if Chicky Starr would have the guts to sign the match. Santana went to the ring with LeDuc backing him up at ringside. Ricky Santana beat Armandito Salgado with a flying crossbody and no sign of Owen Hart or Abdullah Tamba was seen. (Sports Shop) The Sports Shop intro plays and we cut to Victor the Bodyguard and Abdullah Tamba on the Sports Shop set. A voice-over by Hugo Savinovich plays. Hugo: Welcome, ladies and gentlemen to the most watched wrestling program in Puerto Rico!! This is Chicky's Sports Shop and I'm pleased to announce your host, the most charismatic, best dressed man in Puerto Rico today, Chicky Starr!! Chicky walks in wearing his custom suit and his WWC Caribbean Tag Team Title over his shoulder. He picks up a microphone and sits down. Chicky: Welcome ladies and gentlemen to the most watched program in Puerto Rico, Chicky Starr's Sports Shop. I know my fans are waiting for me to give them news about a certain match being signed, but this week my guest is a man I respect very much. A man who taught me a lot, Dutch Mantell. Dutch walks out in a button-up shirt and cowboy hat. Chicky Starr offers his hand and Dutch hesitates, but shakes. Dutch sits and picks up a microphone. Chicky (English): Dirty Dutch Mantell! It's an honor to have you in my Sports Shop. Dutch: Can't say I understand. You know damn well what Bobby Jaggers done to me and you were buddies with him last week. Chicky: Bobby and I are friends. I know the two of you are fighting and you've got your reasons. I respect that. I don't need to be involved. Dutch: My recollection is you wanted him to join yer...what'd you call it...corporation? Chicky: The Starr Corporation, yes. And I would gladly have both of you, but that's not going to happen. Dutch: Damn right it ain't. Chicky: I just want you to know that I will not come after you, nor will I send anyone to hurt you. Dutch: And I want you to know that if we end up on opposite sides of the ring, you get no special treatment because of it. Chicky: I wouldn't expect any. Now that we have established that I in no way want a fight with you, I want to go back a few years. I had just broken away from Invader 1 and was very unsure of myself. You were around and you took me under your wing. Dutch: I don't know that it went that far. But you were a young kid and showing you the ropes as much as I could seemed like the right thing to do. Chicky: And you never kept me away from anyone just so you could steal all the glory. Dutch: You were too big for yer britches, I'll give you that. I'm not convinced you ain't still a little too big for yer britches. But a man's got to learn that on his own. Ain't my job to hold yer hand. Chicky: I always liked that about you. You were honest even when it might come across as mean. Another thing I always liked, you do what it takes to win. Dutch: That's the name of the game. End of the day it don't matter how you get there. Chicky: Exactly! Something the Invader 1s and Carlitos Colons of the world won't tell you no matter how much they are willing to live by it! It's one of the reasons I've always respected you. Dutch: Y'know, I've been watchin' how you handle yourself since I came back. You have learned a lot for sure. But I can't help but think you didn't learn the most important lesson of all. Chicky: Which is? Dutch: You paid the Rock'n'Roll RPMs for something them other boys did. You still got that debt out there. A man pays his debts, Chicky Starr. Bobby Jaggers come out here and tells me he had somethin' to do with breakin' my arm. So I'm gonna take it out of his hide before I do anything else. And if that yellow coward Austin Idol shows his face I'll be makin' damn sure he pays too. And just so you know, those buddies of yours, los Mercenarios, they get theirs too. I ain't comin after you 'cause yer associated with 'em. Always remember that. A man pays his debts. And you got some unpaid debts that you don't know much about yet, but one day you'll figure it out. G'day. Dutch gets up and walks off after tipping his hat to Chicky. Chicky looks thoughtful and gets a dark look on his face. Chicky: Oh, I mean to repay my debts. With interest. Well fans, you're welcome for another great edition of Chicky's Sports Shop! It was a real treat for me to catch up with one of my first real mentors. Next week I'll be talking about the most recent challenge I received and my guest will be none other than Abdullah Tamba. I want to address the news that Carlitos Colon has been cleared to wrestle and the rematch with Abdullah the Butcher is official. I am in no way responsible for whatever might happen to Carlitos Colon in this match. He goes in knowing that Abdullah the Butcher intends to maim him in whatever way possible and take Carlitos Colon out of wrestling. That's all for the Sports Shop this week, please don't be too disappointed by the rest of the show. (End Sports Shop) The Caribbean Express beat los Assassins with a Perez suplex/Castillo crossbody off the top combo. Barrabas was at the desk talking about how Boyd and the Crusher were firing on all cylinders and the Batten Twins couldn't hope to beat a team that good. Rickin questioned whether or not Barrabas might be underestimating the Battens. Barrabas then proceeded to tell Rickin how much he hated the disrespectful tone he was spoken to in interviews before storming off. Abdullah Tamba destroyed Tejano 1 before winning by countout after a tope in just over 2 minutes. Owen Hart and Bobby Jaggers stopped by the desk to talk about how Dutch Mantell was a crybaby and Ricky Santana was a coward who needed to hide behind a 280 pound lumberjack. Both went on to describe themselves as "the toughest man ever to wrestle in Puerto Rico" (Jaggers) and "the best technical wrestler in Puerto Rico today" (Owen). Hart, Jaggers and TNT with El Profe were on one side of the main event with Ricky Santana, Gama Singh and Dutch Mantell on the other. Profe handed Owen something early on and he went after Dutch with it, which led to Santana hitting the ring and a 6-man brawl breaking out. Referee Victor Quinonez was close to calling the match when TNT and Gama Singh ended up back in the ring. The brawl continued on in the ring with all six men tagging in and out. Owen and Santana ended up in the ring and traded a few nearfalls on roll-ups. Santana, who had slammed Owen on the outside to great reaction earlier, hit a dropkick and was setting up a fisherman's suplex. Owen got an inside cradle with a generous handful of tights for the 3 count. Owen, Jaggers and TNT all left ringside without any further fighting. Jaggers held up Owen's arm in victory in the aisle as Santana fumed in the ring, Dutch trying to calm him down.

Keith going over in Alberta is a great choice. Andre has been a good addition to your TV of late. Brian Adias and Sunny War Cloud have a nice undercard feud going. Mid-Atlantic showcase would have been a fun babyface match. MS-1 is on a roll of late. Let's hope Satanico doesn't catch up with him. Big main that would have had the Saddledome rocking.

I disagree about Lawler. Some of his outfits are absolutely horrendous. And some of those sweaters he wore in the studio...

I liked the build-up show a lot. Benoit has a big head of steam going into his last match. I will second SST vs. the Fabs being an awesome match. Why do I think MS-1 has something lined up for Kernodle? Kokina comes off big on this TV. Martel taking on Abby is crazy. Good build for Goto and Saito so far. Loving Creatchman and those dastardly Nightmares. Borne vs. Brunzell is a real great match on paper.

Great card and I liked the style you did it in. It reads exactly like an old school card hype segment.

Baby Doll vs. Gilbert is an interesting matchup possibility. HTM is really pushing his luck. Oooh, LLT tag match! I could see either team going somewhere else. Haku and Superstar may not be the foregone conclusion we all think it is. Good way to build the Hollywood Blondes before their title match. JYD as the mystery partner is a great, great choice.
