Wow, the Samoans did a number on the Sawyers! It ends up costing both teams in the tournament. Hope Superstar has a speedy recovery. Good TV wins for Lightning Express, Baron and a debuting Ranger Ross. Fun main event as the Heavenly Bodies advance. I'm going with them to win the tag straps. Cant wait for Summer Gold!

That twist with the Samoas and the Sawyers works out well because regardless of who wins the tag tournament you have good tough challengers waiting in the wings now. 

Also brings 2 feuds together to give them both a litlle longer life without over doing it

It is amazing what a giant heels can do for a promotion.  The heat they get makes everything seem so big.  The Samoans are that team for you and you did a great job making them seem unbeatable.  

Thank you it means the pay off down the line will mean something

Tough night for the Sawyers. Ouch.  Funk coming in should be a nice boost for Portland.  Good wins for Raschke and Ranger Ross.  Ross should have some good momentum going right off the bat.  Heavenly Bodies going over is the right choice, as is the suspension of the Samoans.  Gets them over as dangerous.

I like that this week you went a bit slowly here after everything that went down in last week's episode. Focusing this time on progressing the road to the title matches and Summer Gold. Always important to slow it down a bit once in a while to let the reader breath and brace himself for what's coming up.

Good wins for Boone and the Villanos.  The Stomper with a very convincing win.  I like your battle royal line-up.  Lots of possible winners.  That international 6-man is a very interesting match.  Lightning Express moving on is definitely the right choice here.  Showing both championship matches should boost the ratings for your next TV big time.

Solid debut for Brady Boone.  Los Villanos should be fun to watch in Portland. Blassie has quite the stable of awesome heel veterans. Heavenly Bodies and Lighting Express battling for the tag titles...YES! Summer Gold looks pretty awesome. Man, hard to pick a winner for the title.

I think I missed how Brady Boone got to Portland while he was on my roster but I am sure we can figure that out. Outside of that looks like things are coming along here for Portland. Continue to put out good shows and see the product grow and the roster take better shape. 

Cant remember where he came from will look later if he is still on ur roster i wont use after the summer gold

Yeah he's on my roster as a jobber pack but I would prefer you use him as something here rather than a jobber for me. Keep an eye on those things in the future but I am good with you taking the rights to him.
