Booker Bill's B & W Legends Fed

[bookerbill]

This is a reboot of my B & W legends fed.

The first order of business is determining a Legends Champion. I have decided to use a round robin tournament (think G1 Climax) to crown my first champion. There will be two groups with the winner of each group qualifying for the tournament final. Group A features: Nick Bockwinkel, Frank Gotch, Jimmy Snuka, Johnny Valentine, Killer Kowaslski, The Destroyer, Road Warrior Animal, Dick Hutton, Ox Baker and Gorgeous George. Group B features: Buddy Rogers, Bobo Brazil, Giant Baba, Road Warrior Hawk, Harley Race, Iron Sheik, Ted DiBiase, Greg Valentine, Jimmy Valiant and Red Bastien

Card 01.01.01.02 @ Nassau Coliseum, Long Island, NY (1.9)

Group A Action

Gorgeous George made an stunning comeback to upset Johnny Valentine with a small package with tights. 4.0

Ox Baker caught Killer Kowalski with a HEART PUNCH to get the win. 1.5

Destroyer needed only three moves to defeat Dick Hutton with a FIGURE FOUR LEGLOCK. D

Nick Bockwinkel survived an early power onslaught by Road Warrior Animal to get the win with a FIGURE FOUR LEGLOCK. 3.0

Frank Gotch shocked ringside with some questionable tactics to bloody Jimmy Snuka and finish him with a GOTCH TOE HOLD. 1.0

[Pariah]

Although unlikely, I have to admit that I'm intrigued by the possibility of the Road Warriors facing off in the final... Too bad Kowalski lost his first round bout... Hoping he does well... Love the presentation - Fun stuff!

[Pariah]

Looks like the odds of a Road Warrior vs Road Warrior final are slipping steadily away... Although Animal is starting to have some successs... And Hawk won his last outing, albeit by a technical decision...

With Race faring so poorly, it looks like Brazil or Rogers will probably take the A bracket... The B bracket is much tighter...

Lots could still happen though... Fun times!
