Very cool that Backlund retained... It's always fun when a champion can build a respectable reign, elevating the prestige of the title. Speaking of which, something just hit me... You're running this fed with only two titles... That is an exceptional display of restraint, my friend... Do you have your histories compiled and posted? Secondary titles seem like a second place trophy to me so I try to steer clear. I don't have my histories in the history folder. I have all the # of defenses per reign in a google sheet so I can refer back to it but I don't keep track of who they beat beyond what's in my results. |
