Booker Bill's Maple Leaf Wrestling

[sniperniles]

Hillbilly Jim and Al Snow are on a roll...love it.

Sheeperders not looking too good.

Congrats to Race winning the title back.

Fernandez is not doing to well either.

Loving this.

[Pariah]

The action at the Gardens was brilliant, as expected... Race continues to look strong as the Canadian Heavyweight Champion... And the chain match between Blanchard and Magnum T.A. certainly did not disappoint... I'm also enjoying this hot streak that Londos currently has going... It would be fun to watch him climb the rankings... With this much depth to the roster, I'm wondering if it might be time to consider a secondary title of some kind... Fun stuff!

[bookerbill]

Thanks for the feedback TTX . I totally agree with your thoughts both on Race and the top of the tag team division. I have just made some roster moves and the dice roll ended up with the signing of a top tier tag team that will be sure to shake things up in the coming weeks!

[bookerbill]

Thanks for following along sniperniles . The success of Jim and Snow has really been a nice surprize in the territory as you will see, they get a shot at the gold on the next Ringside!

[bookerbill]

A secondary title is actually something I am tossing around Pariah . The MLW territory had several that were defended back in the day.

[Pariah]

Rockin Robin beating Jazz was a pleasant surprise... Even though she's gotta be considered a longshot to win the tournament... Enjoyed Candido's underhanded victory against the Big Valbowski... And I'm really ramped up for the cage match between Magnum T.A. and Blanchard... Stoked!

[cruefan68]

Very cool to see Harley Race win the Canadian Heavyweight title from The Sandman. Long live the King! That recent Sandman-Shane Douglas match was a lot of fun as well.

Magnum T.A. vs. Tully Blanchard is one of my all-time favorite feuds so very cool to see it raging in MLW. The cage match should be awesome.
