kevinmcfl Posted November 6, 2017 Report Share Posted November 6, 2017 Nice set of shows. I like your aspect of the dark matches to give the fans some quality but not to give too much away on TV. I was surprised to see Dirty DIck and Larry Z go down so quick in the tournament. Looking forward to the rest of the tournament! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LowBlowPodcast Posted November 6, 2017 Report Share Posted November 6, 2017 I like the rundown here. The sheer amount of talent is something to behold here and with the Horsemen going strong, there could be no stopping them from taking over the NWA that quickly. I also appreciate seeing Uncle Fred Ottman getting some love. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirEdger Posted November 6, 2017 Report Share Posted November 6, 2017 I must say that I didn't expect the Vachons to fall in the first round against Pete Doherty and Rene Goulet. Hopefully this won't halt down their momentum heading into their final showdown with the Midnight Rockers in Lutte. The Minnesota Wrecking Crew vs The Creatchman Family should be pretty interesting!

dawho5 Posted November 8, 2017 Report Share Posted November 8, 2017 Terry Funk is on a roll! Funk against both Owen Hart and Zbyszko in 85 would have been matches I'd pay to see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
