If there's one thing Bob Backlund hates, it's probably being pinned by a small package! Actually, he probably hates more things than that, but you get the picture. Windham beats Owen Hart this time, but I have the feeling he'll be seeing him again down the line with the roles reversed perhaps...

JT Southern seems like a good fit for Music City...fun fact...JT Southern actually wrestled in UWFi for a few matches as he was one of the guys from Tennessee recruited to UWFi by Shinji Sasazaki. Let's just say his time there wasn't memorable. Miss Kentucky continues to make her presence felt. I wonder if this is the start of her "Reign of Terror."

Ron Garvin vs Bob Orton is a great finale to the Starrcade Series. Fright Night looks solid from top to bottom. Looking forward to the Four Corners elimination match. I'm rooting for the Zero Fighters myself.

I personally enjoyed that and picked up on it. It definitely seemed like something an 80s episode of SNME would do sometimes. The 80s were a crazy time I guess...

David Taylor in AWA seems like a perfect fit. Uh oh, Sgt. Slaughter is angry on a mission, look out!

Great to see Little Guido get some shine! I always thought he was underrated. Looking forward to Battle of the Belts

Jim Cornette really adds a lot of flavor to SMW, which already had tons of flavor! Really good stuff all around.

Fall Brawl delivered as expected. It's good to see the Latin Connection with gold around their waists The clash between Tarzan Goto/Abdullah and DiBiase/Williams lived up to the hype. It'll be interesting to see how the Samoan Swat Team does in WCW. The Horsemen face a setback after losing to Sting and Luger, but what other schemes do they have...

Interesting idea. I think one of the big what-ifs for NJPW is if COVID-19 never happened and they had a normal 2020.

That was jam-packed with action! Hogan losing the belt was a bit shocking, but I guess you should never underestimate the Macho Man. The Rockers are red-hot and have the world at their finger tips. Really enjoyed reading this, made me feel like I was in 1988!

The Varsity Club is in WWF! They are going to make some waves, for sure. SNME is looking pretty good, plenty of action top to bottom for that event. Hogan vs Savage is going to be interesting.

1). I've never been a fan of NJPW's tag team division so I don't disagree here. This is one of Gedo's weak points. 2) I think they should go back to simplicity when it comes to the G1, BOSJ, and NJ Cup. The expansion of those tournaments over the years has diminished their quality somewhat. Going back to a 16-man tournament for the NJC and two blocks of 10-12 for the G1 and BOSJ would probably be the best course of action. You have to leave some guys out then, but those tournaments should be the best of the best. 3) I agree here, the KOPW title hasn't added much and it's a cute gimmick that gets old quickly unless you get cool matches out of it like the O-Khan/Shingo match. 4) I like the NEVER Openweight title on paper, but the booking is lacking sometimes. I think NJPW would be better off by bringing back the IC title again, but that will never happen. The US title should probably be retired. 5) HOT seems like an independent unit already, it's only a formality. But in general, I find the House's shtick very tiresome. The same goes for the new "War Dogs" Bullet Club...at this point, the Bullet Club gimmick has run its course. I'm a firm believer in that. It's reaching NWO levels of creative fatigue. New Japan should borrow from Dragon Gate's playbook and disband factions more often...freshen things up once in a while.

A very good show in Calgary. Looking forward to the showdown between Haynes and Windham.

Oh sorry, guess I missed that. But yeah, I'm cool with that too.

Heyyyy...I had a lot of money riding on Kamala! I guess that's why you shouldn't bet on pro wrestling outcomes. Ron Garvin probably deserved that win though. I guess we'll see if he faces Orton or Manny Fernandez, but Orton vs Garvin sounds like a top-tier match-up

Another fantastic episode of NWA. I enjoy reading these and you put a lot of fine detail into this. Lots of good matches on this card, with the main event and Taz vs Chris Benoit standing out.

Jim Cornette is back in SMW! Fireworks are going to in plentiful supply with him around. Can't wait for the Halloween show!

Wasn't Perfectly Straightedge booking WCW or did he step away? It's fine with me too but I was just curious.

The Rockers are on fire! I'm tipping them to beat the Rogeaus next, but let's see if I am right... Can't have a classic 1980s WWF episode without the Ultimate Warrior squashing some poor guy. As always, I really enjoy the format you use and the authenticity you bring to these write-ups.

Can't wait for Fall Brawl! Steve Williams/DiBiase vs Goto/The Butcher is sure to be a "treat." The main event also looks delicious with Ric Flair and Arn Anderson vs Sting and Lex Luger!

Night 2 was awesome! The main event certainly delivered and it's great to see Kerry get a nice moment in the spotlight. Great work with these events as always, I enjoy reading these and the detail you put into it.

Another fun entry that I really enjoyed reading. Looking forward to October 31st! Meanwhile, the Miss Kentucky storyline continues to be very entertaining and I enjoy the thought you put into that.

PCW in Calgary will be appreciated by the fans there, especially with the Harts vs Bam Bam Bigelow and Chris Adams!

I have a few Word documents that I use to keep track of things and to make notes. I don't think I would be able to keep everything in my head but I do brainstorm about stuff from time to time.
