Thanks for the feedback @kevinb . It is the same format that I have been using in my Super Indy Fed. It is greatly influenced/inspired by the PPV reviews on the Cageside seats website.

Thoroughly enjoyed the first two episodes of Legends Unleashed... Looks like some really great rivalries are starting to build while some interesting alliances are taking shape... Duggan and Race vs Sheik and Volkoff is bound to be intense... And the Macho Man is already proving that he will go to any lengths to climb the ranks...
One thing I do miss is the quick results section that you include in your Super Indy shows... Being able to see the official decision in a single glance has always been a preference of mine...
Really looking forward to watching this fed grow and I fully expect it to be just as entertaining as your CLF and Indy promotions... Awesome work!

Awesome start to your new legends fed Bookerbill. I really like the pairing of Duggan & Race and look forward to their match with Volkoff & Sheik. Curt Hennig vs. Ted Dibiase was off the charts and I liked the post-match with Larry Hennig saving his son from having the money stuffed in his mouth. Two of my favorite matches were Pampero Firpo over Ron Hutchison and Lou Albano over Marty Jannetty. Hutchison looked good in defeat and Albano getting the "W" was a nice upset. The "Legbreaker Club", I love it!

The show opens with a look back at the formation of the Leg Breakers Club and the announcers tells our main event tonight will feature that very group in action as Greg Valentine, Buddy Rogers & The Destroyer take on Lou Thesz, Bobo Brazil & Brutus Beefcake
“Macho Man” Randy Savage v. Ron Hutchinson
• Hutchinson impresses, snap mares, elbow smash misses, sends Savage into ropes but Macho Man hits tackle
• Savage with rope straddle, running knee to back, neckbreaker clothesline . . . HEAT

• Security arrives to break it up, DiBiase looks in the camera and exclaims “the best partner money can buy!”
The announce team is buzzing just like ringside asking where Curt Hennig is as ringside medical personnel attend to Larry Hennig. We go backstage and Hennig is down and lacerated clearing getting the worse end of his battle with Bruiser Brody
Brutus Beefcake, Bobo Brazil & Lou Thesz v. Leg Breaker Club (The Destroyer, Buddy Rogers & Greg Valentine)

Looks like DiBiase has found himself a powerful ally... Can he really depend on someone like Brody? Can't imagine money being a big motivator for the wildman...
The Leg Breakers Club gained a solid victory in the main event... But, Thesz was not impressed... Love the rivalries that are taking shape...
And thank you for adding in the recap section... Excellent show!

I am picturing Brody in the classic Stan Hansen "fight to feed my kids" attitude. DiBiase paid the price and now he has the service . . . but for how long?

I'm pushing for The Hutch in this fed. His showing against Macho was plucky to say the least!
Like the format...like following text commentary. Good stuff!

I usually agree with Pariah but here I will respectfully disagree as Bruiser Brody loved himself a big payday and who better than the "Million $ Man" to deliver that to him. There is one thing that should make Dibiase wary though and that is that Brody is very independent and he could take exception to the bossy attitude of one Mr. Dibiase. Looking forward to see where this goes next. |

Season 1, Episode 4 – Pride and Glory
Lou Thesz is in the office of Booker Bill and is fired up about the events of last week again demanding a match one on one against Buddy Rogers. Booker Bill tells Thesz that he can appreciate that he wants to revenge his loss last week but reminds Thesz that the Nature Boy has beat him not only once, but twice in the Legend’s Unleashed Arena and it has been Booker Bill’s experience that bad things can happen to those who lose three times in a row to same competitor. Thesz may never quite recover. Booker Bill then explains that he has something special in mind for Thesz and Rogers. Next week, there will be a Legends Torneo Cibernetico and Booker Bill has decided that Rogers and Thesz will be the captains of the two teams. If Thesz choses his battering order correctly, then he may just get his wish and face Rogers again in the ring. Booker Bill then gets serious and warns Thesz to choose his battering order wisely, because the winner of the match will be provided with the ultimate advantage during Legend’s Warfare. However, the first competitor eliminated next week will be provided with the ultimate disadvantage during Legend’s Warfare.
