This could really be something special.
I'm going to be watching as it all unfolds.
That said, I'd have to think that Thesz will take the title.
We'll see, though.

I am going with either Lou Thesz or Macho Man to win the whole thing. Either way this looks like a great start to PWR. Part of me would love to see the Macho Man emerge triumphant... But, I'm also extremely interested to see how Thesz and Buddy Rogers make out... Especially against the likes of Styles and Steen... Truly appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts, my friend... And hoping the ride meets all expectations... Many thanks!

All this wonderful feedback simply makes this move into Legends that much more rewarding... Very excited to have so many people following along... Thesz really looks to be an opening favorite to win it all... Truly appreciate you trading the time to check things out and offer such encouraging words, my friend... Many thanks!

Nice work as always Pariah. I may not respond to every fed I see, but I do read them. Luckily I been able to continue with my United Wrestling Alliance. You definitely have a lot of great creative things from ONX, Outbreak Wrestling, and even GWF related feds. And I find this fed interesting to read.

Hoping to carry over the momentum I had with OutBreak/ONX into my first Legends fed... A lot of my attention definitely gets routed to COTG, but I think this latest project had the potential to be my favorite yet... Truly appreciate you taking the time to read and share a few thoughts, my friend... Many thanks!

Revival #1: Eclipse Tournament from Mohegan Sun Arena (Uncasville, CT)
- Bravo Bracket - Curt Hennig vs. Iron Sheik Curt Hennig defeated Iron Sheik via disqualification at 5:39 Match Rating: 1.00 Match Notes: Sheik draws plenty of heat on his way to the ring by accusing several fans of being 'lazy Americans' and waving his national flag. After rolling into the ring, Hennig spits out a wad of chewing gum and slaps it into Sheik's face! Not taking kindly to the insult, Sheik latches onto Hennig and puts him down with a flawless belly-to-belly suplex. Hennig counters with some effective strikes and goes for a cover following a running knee lift. Sheik kicks out with ease, using a suplex combination and his loaded boot to great effect. The fight spills out to the floor and a wild brawl erupts! Hennig backs off when the ref orders both men back into the ring, but Sheik is not so quick to comply. (Fatigue: Hennig 2 - Sheik 1)
- Alpha Bracket - Bruiser Brody vs. Lou Thesz Bruiser Brody defeated Lou Thesz via pinfall at 3:17 Match Rating: 0.50 Match Notes: Chanting 'Huss!' all the way to the ring, Brody makes a point of intimidating the ref before the match begins. Thesz is not impressed, but Brody relies on pure brawling tactics to keep his opponent on the defensive. Thesz tries to catch his breath out on the floor. Brody comes over the top rope with a slingshot plancha! Moving his stunned opponent back into the ring, Brody lands his JUMPING KNEE DROP. The ref seems eager to be out of this situation and a quick count results in an abrupt (snake eyes) end to the match. (Fatigue: n/a)
Brody grabs his chain and starts swinging it in a wide arc above his head. Thesz pulls the ref out of harm's way as security descends upon the ringside area. Before releasing the official, Thesz scolds him for the questionable count.
- Alpha Bracket - Buddy Rogers vs. Kevin Steen Kevin Steen defeated Buddy Rogers via disqualification at 3:09 Match Rating: 0.00 (dud) Match Notes: Steen shows up in a foul mood and uses his natural aggression to win a shoving match before the opening bell. With a superb display of agility, Rogers continuously frustrates his opponent. In an attempt to break the momentum, Steen rolls out to the floor. Rogers follows and picks up a steel chair. The ref warns him to stop, but Rogers pushes the ref out of the way. Rogers delivers a chairshot across Steen's back and the ref calls for the bell. (Fatigue: n/a)
- Bravo Bracket - Bobo Brazil vs. Gorgeous George (w/ Cherie Dupre) Bobo Brazil defeated Gorgeous George via pinfall at 13:33 Match Rating: 2.50 Match Notes: While George is busy riling up the fans with his flamboyant antics, Cherie Dupre interferes and nearly costs Brazil the match in its opening moments. Using a wide array of questionable tactics, George maintains control and comes close to victory more than once. To the delight of the crowd, Brazil mounts an impressive comeback and puts George away with the COCO BUTT. Cherie tries to distract the ref from making the count, but fails. (Fatigue: Brazil 4 - George 2)
- Bravo Bracket - AJ Styles vs. Hacksaw Jim Duggan AJ Styles defeated Hacksaw Jim Duggan via pinfall at 5:52 Match Rating: 1.00 Match Notes: With his 2X4 raised above his head, Duggan immediately gets the crowd on his side. 'HOOOooooo!' Styles patiently reclines on top of the ropes, waiting for his opponent. Duggan comes on strong, hitting Styles with a series of powerful tackles. Styles puts on the brakes following an Irish whip and rolls Duggan into a Calf Killer. Duggan refuses to tap out, but the hold causes major damage. Styles lands a Spiral Tap, his signature corkscrew senton bomb, and follows up with a Phenomenal DDT for the win. (Fatigue: Duggan 2)
- Alpha Bracket - Harley Race vs. Rob Van Dam Rob Van Dam defeated Harley Race via pinfall at 6:21 Match Rating: 2.00 Match Notes: Race tries slugging it out with his opponent, but RVD keeps moving. RVD hits Rolling Thunder followed by a split-legged moonsault for a near fall. Taking a time out, RVD taunts his opponent with his familiar 'Rob Van Dam' thumb gestures. Changing tactics, Race blocks an attempted press slam and traps RVD in an Indian Deathlock. RVD makes it to the ropes and pulls himself out to the floor. Despite warnings from the ref, RVD rams Race into a ringpost and narrowly avoids disqualification. Dumping Race back into the ring, RVD lands the FIVE-STAR FROG SPLASH and hooks the leg for a three count. (Fatigue: RVD 1 - Race 1)
- Alpha Bracket - Greg Valentine (w/ The Dark Menace) vs. Jimmy Snuka Jimmy Snuka defeated Greg Valentine via pinfall at 7:46 Match Rating: 1.50 Match Notes: Even involvement by The Dark Menace is not enough to make the difference. Although Valentine manages to land some solid clubbing forearms and a wicked elbow smash to the head, he is unable to chain together any serious offense. Snuka crushes Valentine with a series of chops and a flying head butt. Going to the top rope, Snuka prepares to finish his opponent, but The Dark Menace jumps onto the apron. Snuka grabs the Menace's cane and smashes it over his head. It takes three attempts in total, but Snuka fires up the fans by claiming victory with an electrifying SUPERFLY LEAP. (Fatigue: Valentine 3)
- Bravo Bracket - Randy Savage vs. Ted DiBiase Randy Savage defeated Ted DiBiase via pinfall at 10:19 Match Rating: 3.00 Match Notes: Although he seems certain that 'everyone has a price', DiBiase is quickly proven wrong when Savage grabs his handful of cash and throws it into the audience. Savage gradually builds up momentum during this seesaw battle. A running knee to the back and a vaulting neck snap lead to consecutive near falls. DiBiase gets in the game, bouncing Savage off the turnbuckles and landing a backward elbow off the ropes. Savage gets trapped in the COBRA CLUTCH, but is able to make it to the ropes to force a break. DiBiase attempts a second rope axe handle and misses! Savage rallies back and drops DiBiase to the canvas with a neckbreaker clothesline. One of his signature knee drops is enough for Savage to keep DiBiase down for a three count. (Fatigue: Savage 2 - DiBiase 3)
Overall Card Rating: 1.44

Thesz and Race gone early! Brody with a big win. Savage might be the one who takes this thing.

It's a round robin setup, so they could still come back! Check the first post for details. Huge win by Brody. Gotta think AJ is going to go deep. I hope so, at least!! What a first card. Did it live up to your expectations, Pariah?

I'm gonna go with a Rogers vs. Savage final. That tournament looks really good on paper.

Great first card!
A lot of surprising finishes but overall I'd say I'm happy with what I saw.
