Hopefully Tricky Nicky can hold on to it for a while. Easier if he has Heenan with him. Yeah, once he beat Londos, I knew I had to bring Heenan in to try to make the belt less of a hot potato. |

People can argue about the best card in the game, but once a champ like Bock gets Bobby as a manager the dice have to play real nasty not to get a good run out of it. Bobby may be the most underrated card in Legends. His special abilities once his man has gold are nasty. |

I didn't even remember the stuff on the back of the Heenan card until Pariah or Troy pointed it out last week. |

That was Pariah. I use Bobby sparingly but he is a difference maker.

It's too bad Londos had such a short time with the gold... But, I have a distinct feeling that Tricky Nicky will be able to hold on a little tighter... Especially with the Brain in his corner... I think you're gonna love using Heenan's manager card... It's gonna add a whole new dimension to Bockwinkel's time as champion... Looking forward to what's on the horizon!

Based on the stiff competition in this upcoming tournament, I'm doubting that either Konnan or J-Lynn will be adding another Cup to the trophy case... But, you never know! HA!
