JUST caught up Bri!

That snake in the grass Wince McCant would just love to infiltrate the LOTU Tag Team Challenge!....but does he have enough dough to bribe his way in?

I'm picking The Family to upset the Rock and Roll Express in the first round of the tournament (that's right I said it) lol

Looking forward to more zanyness Bri always a great time reading your results

Evenin victoryroll84!

Lol - I hear ya.

Good ole' Wince has a few hired guns in this.

He's trying to steal the spotlight by having a team on his roster win it.

Fingers crossed that he doesn't pull it off.

The Family over The Rock And Roll Express - I like you're style amigo!

Many thanks again for thosee kind words!

AT APPROXIMATELY 12:15 AM SUNDAY MORNING - THE PHENOMENAL DRAGONS HAVE WON THE SOTU LEGENDS OF THE UNIVERSE TAG TEAM CHALLENGE!!!...


Special Note:

With this phenomenal effort by all of the competitors tonight, in particular, the "independent" wrestlers - the landscape of professional wrestling has completely shifted on our planet.

The victory by The Phenomenal Dragon's, an unofficial team of not only two independents, but two rookies who lied about their ages to sign up - has proceeded to tear down all adages, prejudices and sterotypes that existed in pro wrestling prior to this victory...

Howard Cosell - There are no legends...nor independents anymore...just wrestlers...wrestlers with the answers to...the questions...who's gonna get it done...and who's...not...

In the professional wrestling universe of The SOTU, years later, this tournament will mark the official beginning of a shift in consciousness...the beginning of the A.D. years in our unofficial wrestling lingo on Earth...borrowed from the following comment uttered tonight:

Walt "Clyde" Frazier - Welcome everbody on planet Earth...to the year one...A.D...After Dragons my friends...or the latin of course..Afterous Dragonous...ha ha ha...


Another Special Note:

The following wrestlers and teams have parted ways with The SOTU (by multiple designs and for several reasons), with Card 13 being their final contractual competition - and have joined the following federations:


The AWA:

▪  (The Midnight Bodies) - Tom Prichard & Dennis Condrey
▪  (The Heavenly Express) - Bobby Eaton & Stan Lane
▪  Ida Mae Martinez
▪  Nora Greenwald


The ECW:

▪  (The Vachons) - Mad Dog & The Butcher
▪  (The Sheepherders) - Luke Williams & Butch Miller
▪  (Head Games) - Al Snow & Shane Douglas
▪  Beverly Shade
▪  Susan Green


The NWA:

▪  (The Flying Redheads) - Red Bastien & Billy Red Lyons
▪  (The Fantastics) - Bobby Fulton & Tommy Rogers
▪  Candi Divine
▪  Princess Victoria
▪  Rockin Robin


The WWE:

▪  (The Foreign Legion) - Iron Sheik & Nikolai Volkoff
▪  Toni Rose
▪  Tina Moretti


Thanks everyone!

[Crossbones]

Great tag team tournament!

I cant believe The Road Warriors went out in the first round.

I was hoping that Endgame BD would get further, but I blame Zygon.

[TTX]

Congrats to the Dragons for winning the tournament. Great show.

[cruefan68]

I know someone (looking at you Pariah) will be thrilled with the Phenomenal Dragons winning the tag title tournament. What a night of action and congrats to Danielson and Styles on their final round victory over Thantos & Star Warrior. There is something for everyone here in SOTU as we got none other than Howard Cosell & Walt "Clyde" Frazier appearing!

The American Poet is off for Easter but will be back again soon. In the meantime enjoy some lounge style singing from Bill Murray with one of his classics

Star Wars!
Give me those Star Wars!
Nothing but Star Wars -
Don't let them end.
Ah, Star Wars!
If they should bar wars,
Please let these Star Wars stay!
And hey,
How about that nutty Star Wars bar?
Can you believe all the creatures in there?
And hey,
Darth Vader in that black and evil mask -
Did he scare you as much as he scared me?
Star Wars,
Those near and far wars,
Star Wars!



Go to about 5:50 for this classic tune

TRUTH!

And beating some seriously stacked competition along the way - Overmaster & Thunder, Chaos & Matador, SW & Thantos - on their road to the gold... This tournament was a multi-layered cake of cosmic proportions!
