Thanks for the feedback Troy. I have also done the Baker - Sandman angle in the past as well. I actually debated it for this fed as well but with Baker in the round robin tournament I decided to start their feud out of the gate. I expect to break out the stipulation matches between the two in February which should move their contests closer to the top of the card.

Fantastic to see Kowalski capture the gold.
Love the old-school action here and I am pumped to see Bastien kicking off and being a badass.
Gotch getting the DQ is no surprise to me; we've always used him as an angry heel with a chip on his shoulder!

Very short reign for The Destroyer, but I'm more than pleased to see Kowalski win the top prize... Great show!

From what I have read about Gotch he was not above rough housing to get the upper hand. I totally see him being a total heel at some point. The matches with Goeoge have been a nice surprise for me so far. I am looking at booking some stipulation bouts between them next month. Maybe a submission match or lumberjack rules.

I have rough plans for both Destroyer and Kowalski in the upcoming Tag Team Tournament so their may be some booking on the fly depending on who ends up with the strap. Exciting to play right now. Hopefully more posted tonight.

30.01.01.28 @ State College Fieldhouse, Plymouth, MA (1.4)
Injuries: Frank Gotch 1, Baba 4 cards, Road Warrior Hawk 2
Jimmy Valiant used every dirty tactic he could to render Dick Hutton an bloody mess before putting him away with a SUPER ELBOW. 2.5
Nick Bockwinkel need less than ten moves to shut down Nikolai Kolkoff with a figure four leglock (ch) (snake eyes!). D
In a match that took place more on the floor than in the ring, Johnny Valiant escaped Road Warrior Animal by disqualification when Animal battering rammed Valiant into the ring post. Road Warrior Hawk and Jimmy Valiant join the post match brawl and it is pure mayhem. 1.0
Virgil saved Ted DiBiase from a pair of PILEDRIVERS but could not save him from a third as Harley Race gets the one win keeping DiBiase from any offensive whatsoever. 1.0
Intercontinental Champion Buddy Rogers went to war with Road Warrior Hawk and the match ended when Hawk was counted out of the ring after being backdropped over the buckles. 2.5

I was hoping to see The Destroyer have a longer title reign but credit Killer Kowalski on striking gold. Good to see Nick Bockwinkel remaining strong with that recent win over Nikolai Volkoff. Harley Race looked equally strong in his win over Ted Dibiase in Plymouth. Road Warriors vs. Valiants as well as Hawk and Animal going after singles titles are great to see. The Valiants in their prime would have been fun opponents for the Road Warriors in my opinion.

Wow the title changes are coming at a rapid pace. Congrats to The Destroyer on regaining the world title from Killer Kowalski and to Nick Bockwinkel on beating Buddy Rogers for the IC title. That Jimmy Snuka vs. Johnny Valentine match sounded like a good one.
