It's been a lot of fun so far. I still have plans for territories once I finish collecting the online sets but for now I'm just having fun running matches. That Albano/Thesz will be one I'll be mentioning in upset threads for a long time.

12 Man Battle Royal Face the man who was eliminated before or after you. Tag Match for the first four eliminated
Order of Elimination
1. The Patriot
2. George Tragos
3. Iron Mike Dibiase
4. Eddie Gilbert
5. Stevie Richards
6. Zack Ryder
7. Tully Blanchard
8. Justin Credible
9. Ray Stevens
10. Bill Irwin
11. Wild Bill White
Winner Bobo Brazil
The Patriot and George Tragos bested Iron Mike DIbiase and Eddie Gilbert when Patriot used a flying body press to pin Gilbert. This went back and forth for a bit but a series of power slams knocked Gilbert loopy and then Patriot climbed to the top and leaped off putting Eddie down for a surprise three count. (Dreaded Snake Eyes roll)
Zack Ryder easily handled Stevie Richard after a pair of Jumping Leg Lariats. Ryder was accompanied by Curt Hawkins while Richards had Meanie and Nova but no one got involved in the match. Richards got in a few shots but Ryder was never in danger before he hit his finisher. Richards got to the ropes once but a second time was in the middle of the ring and there was no escape.
Tully Blanchard toyed with Justin Credible for a long while before using a third Slingshot Suplex for the pin. Blanchard just kept enjoying a grinding chinlock but eventually he tired of it and hit the suplex and this time Credible could not kick out.
Ray Stevens squashed Bill Irwin with a double underhook suplex. After a couple arm drags by Stevens, Irwin managed a reversal but his attempt at a knee to the midsection was countered by Stevens into a suplex and a pin while Heenan distracted Scott Irwin on the floor to stop any interference.
Wild Bill White stunned Bobo Brazil with a grinding chinlock. Before the match, Eddie Gilbert announced he was the special guest referee. Every time it looked like Bobo was going to win the match, Gilbert counted slowly. White got in a couple pins thanks to Gilbert shennanigans and then when he hooked Brazil in a grainding chinlock, Gilbert lifted Brazil's arm once and before it had even fully fallen called for the bell and said that Brazil was out. After Brazil had recovered, he took out after Gilbert who escaped the arena just in time.

Mornin TTX me bro! Really enjoyed that battle royal and how it lent itself to further matchups. Sounded like The Magnificent One had to really reach down deep in order to comeback against Mr. Monday Night. I think after Bobo Brazil finally catches Eddie Gilbert, Gilbert is going to wind up being a few inches shorter as a result. Looking forward to seeing how this will be layed out down the road. But in the meantime these exhibitions are great! |

I'm not sure when it will be. Don't think the physical sets (Legends, COTG, Indy) hit till the end of the month. I'll be picking up set 1 and 2 hopefully as I do more online play.

as promised
The Midnight Express (with Jim Cornette) crushed The Underdogs when they finally used a Suplex on to Eaton's Knee for the three count. Milkman gave it a go but the Express just toyed with him from an elbow slingshot to a double goozle. A flying ax handle and brainbuster by Condrey was followed up him him suplexing Jake on to Eaton's knee. Eaton covered while Condrey knocked Kenny Jay to the floor and Cornette celebrated outside.
Hillbilly Jim bested Mr. Hughes (with Jim Cornette) with the Bear Hug. Jim got off to a slow start and Hughes took advantage with a couple near falls including his Spike Slam. Jim finally woke up and came battling back using his bear hug, a powerful head butt and a flying leg drop before one last bear hug put Hughes down before Cornette could grab the referee's attention. Cornette threw a tantrum after the match.
Harley Race took an early beating from Sam Houston but came back with the Vertical Suplex and then the Piledriver to win. Houston looked like he was going to pull off an upset but Race weathered the early storm and came battling back before hitting a pair of finishers to take the victory.
Terry Gordy dropped Magnum T.A. following a pair of Bamm Bamm Slams. Magnum had his chances but in the end, Gordy used his Asiatic Spike to wear down Magnum and then later hit two Slams to finally score the victory.
An angry Lou Thesz crushed Wild Bill White with the stepover toehold facelock. Before the match, Thesz told Gordon Solie that Lou Albano was running and trying to hide but he would find him. White who was still celebrating his win over Bobo Brazil thanks to Eddie Gilbert jumped Thesz as he entered the ring but Thesz quickly gained control. An overly aggressive Thesz did miss a charge into the turnbuckle, but he grabbed White's foot, did a fireman's carry on to the announcer's table and then threw him ino the ring and used his facelock to force a quick submission.
The Flying Redheads battered George South who teamed with Nacho Barrera as Lyons used his partner's finisher, the atomic drop to pin South. Nacho never even got a chance to be in the ring as Lyons dominated the match, Bastien took a few shots and then Lyons used the atomic drop and rolled South up for the three count.
Petey Williams took a beating from Tiger Conway Jr. but made a surprise comeback and hit the Canadian Destroyer for the win. Williams was dominated the entire match until he got a sudden punch on the floor and then quickly hit the Destroyer. Conway Jr. tried to put his foot on the rope but Lenny Lane shoved it off without the referee seeing it and Williams took the sneaky win.
Barry Windham edged Magnificent Muraco (with Mr. Fuji) with the Sweetwater Superplex. This was back and forth and it looked like Muraco had it with the Hawaiian Hammer but Windham had reached one of his long legs under the ropes and the referee saw this at the three count calling it off. Muraco was incensed but he kept battling. Windham however used the second chance to his advantage leveling Muraco with a big Lariat before using the Superplex to finally take the three count.
