squash. Next one should hopefully be good but I think The Brain might give Studd an edge.

I think Heenan ringside is enough to sway my vote for Studd.

Tricky Nicky without a question.
Heenan is going to be well represented in this tournament.

Yikes! Did not see Rocca going out like that... The bookers really wanted Studd to make a statement going into the next round.
Bockwinkel advancing... Not even a question.

Nick Bockwinkel w/Bobby “The Brain” Heenan (13) v. Joe Blanchard (52)
Morgan Dollar has strict instructions for both competitors and calls for the bell. Blanchard has the upper hand early but misses a dropkick which allows Bockwinkel to rebound his opponent into a huge backdrop. Bockwinkel decides not to take the fight outside and instead plants Blanchard with a back suplex. One count (R9/P3). Bockwinkel grabs a leg . . . FIGURE FOUR LEGLOCK. Blanchard quickly rolls Bockwinkel to escape (R12/P5). Bockwinkel with a BOCKWINKEL SLEEPER. Blanchard’s arm drops for the third time (R3/P7).
It appears Bobby The Brain will have some decision making before the next round . . .

I love Ilio, but Dr. Death can be a monster.

Bockwinkel vs. Big John... I'm thinking the Brain might just wait and see which way the wind is blowing at any given time.
No disrespect to Mr DiPaolo, but Dr Death should go over.
