Nice to see the Bombers are elevating the prestige level of the tag belts... A healthy run has a tendency to accomplish this... Looking forward to the upcoming top contenders match, but I don't think Garea & Zbyszko or Fuji & Saito will be able to defeat the current champs. Backlund is absolutely killing it... Too bad his memorable title reign is about to come to an end... OHHH, YEAH! Whoever does finally beat Backlund is going to have some big shoes to fill. |

Backlund continues to roll. It's too early to talk about him catching up with Vader's 34 defense reign but I'm absolutely doing Backlund vs. Vader at some point. |
