If it was anyone else, I would say Brody had been playing possum during that non-title match against Snuka in order to bait him into a false sense of security... However, I highly doubt that Brody's mind works that way... HUSS! HUSS!
Sad to see Ida Mae packing her bags... And I enjoyed Manny's squash victory over Steele... On a personal note, I absolutely love how Steele's card is crafted - His matches are usually quite unpredictable and he still manages to win often enough that I don't have to make him glorified enhancement talent.
Another excellent show!

I love the Steele card - his matches are always fun to roll.
Thanks for the comment brotha!

Even though the crowd was pretty upset by the outcome, it was fun watching the Vachons capture the tag belts... They still hold the record in my Legends fed for longest tag title reign.
Snuka might have lost his chance to take the top prize from Brody, but he's still firing on all cylinders... What's next for Superfly?
Great to see the action continuing to move at a blistering pace in the Gardens, my friend... Nice work!

As for Superfly, maybe he'll get a shot at the strap again.
Not much else to do than to play this really. Line up for Super Card # 10 coming right up!
