I really like that Don Curtis & Bob Roop team as well and that match versus Bastien & Brisco was epic. Overall great action going on here as usual my friend.

Once again, Gama and Gotch are both involved in quality encounters... Only this time, it was not against each other... Looking forward to Gotch challenging Fargo for the gold.
A big upset by Rose & Candido over the Kangaroos, pushing themselves into the Canadian Open Tag Team Title Tournament final... Stoked for that as well... Good times!
