kevinmcfl Posted August 9, 2017 Report Share Posted August 9, 2017 I am enjoying the fact that Flair is having some great singles matches during the Bash. Flair vs Hansen would be something special. Also think the TA-Funk series is cool. I remember when I was a kid and TA had a series with Nikita Koloff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gordi Posted August 12, 2017 Report Share Posted August 12, 2017 You know you have a strong, strong, strong card when you have Abdullah vs Hansen and Magnum TA vs Terry Funk on the same card... and neither of them are the Main Event... and it makes perfect sense that there are two matches booked above them. I hope the fans in Myrtle Beach, SC appreciated that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneJackson95 Posted August 12, 2017 Report Share Posted August 12, 2017 I love the Great American Bash and this tour is setting a high bar. Magnum vs. Funk is one of the most intense feuds in the game right now and the Andersons vs. Piper/Orton is a dream match IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SirEdger Posted September 19, 2017 Report Share Posted September 19, 2017 The Great American Bash is a resounding success. Congrats to Magnum TA for winning the Best-of-Seven series and regaining the United States Heavyweight Championship! Although having known this would've gone that way, I would've switched the 2 victories that Mr. Electricity holds over Magnum TA. Oh well!

kevinmcfl Posted September 20, 2017 Report Share Posted September 20, 2017 Enjoyed the Bash! I guessed the TA outcome correctly but I wish I had seen that in person! I also enjoyed the Nature Boy getting some great singles matches during the Bash! He is the straw that stirs the NWA this game. I hope to see more of the Marte/Flair feud cross over into the MACW! Welcome Back! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
