A very meaningful win for the Love Bro's... Especially when you consider the Bees are just coming off a prolific program with the tag champs... Really hoping Reginald & Hartford are able to build on this momentum towards an eventual title shot... GROOVY TIMES!

Another GROOVE-A-LICIOUS victory for Rotten Reginald & Horrible Hartford... Here's hoping that they're being considered for a title shot in the relatively near future.
Wildfire looks impressive and I'm interested to see how long he can remain on top... And that Texas Death match between the Vachons and their rivals, The Axe & The Crusher, delivered the goods. Brutal!

Sorry everyone. It appears I posted these results in the wrong thread yesterday.... LOL
Card 67 Memorial Auditorium, Kitchener- July 18, 2023

Baron Von Raschke v. The Crusher

Moving response to thread in which it belongs...
Wildfire retaining the title by using Hart's megaphone against Rude and getting disqualified in the process... Seems like a form of poetic justice... Turnaround is often considered fair play and Rude leaves Kitchener without the gold as a result... Looking forward to the Texas Death rematch... Good times!
