Really enjoyed seeing Debbie Malenko - a gifted female technician that earned that last name... Would love to see her featured more prominently on future cards.
Muraco does the unthinkable and Vader Time is over. Magnificent!

Really enjoyed seeing Debbie Malenko - a gifted female technician that earned that last name... Would love to see her featured more prominently on future cards. Muraco does the unthinkable and Vader Time is over. Magnificent! I had high hopes for Malenko after she hung 10 tokens on Moolah (mostly through her +1 armbar) in her debut match for me, but I'm pretty sure this was her first victory -- my hard drive died last week and my last backup was from 9-10 weeks ago, so I'm in the process of rebuilding my results and notes spreadsheet that is missing about 190 matches. I'm hoping to get it done by the weekend so I can roll my Friday night show (I know I had planned on that card having a Tag Team Championship match and the next installment of Douglas-Rude) |

Two titles retained on technical decisions against the reigning champions... An interesting way for the bookers to close out the show... Can't wait to see where it all leads!

Yeah, a bunch of unsatisfying finishes on this card. I think I'll eventually switch to a warnings system like you're using to cut down on the DQs. I'm still undecided if Douglas-Rude IV will be in a cage or some other special match. |

I'm still undecided if Douglas-Rude IV will be in a cage or some other special match. I'm loving the 'warning' system... It allows wrestlers to adopt a more cautious approach once they're on the bubble... Simply rolling twice for DQ doesn't provide that option. |

Big win for the Bulldogs... And I really enjoyed the main event... Brisco vs. Race is a personal favorite to play... Though it looks like things were a little one-sided this time around.
Not many technical finishes during this show... Guess the bookers were told to settle down... Nice work!
