Thoughts going into year 5:
I've decided to do two one hour weekend wrap up shows to build up the talent and ditching the Thursday night show. I'm hoping this will keep me from burning through the potential main events too quickly. I'm keeping the four tournament structure from year 4, though. I've got some other changes in the hopper but I don't want to spoil anything.

I get that. Running through main events fast is always going to be an issue. Hope the new format solves it.

The hot potato will always be a thing in any game involving luck.

Tricky Nicky certainly lived up to his reputation in that very dramatic title defense against Handsome Harley... Really looking forward to the upcoming year of this fed... And I think the talent rotation will benefit greatly from the adjusted format... I'm also very happy that you decided to stick with the four tournaments... They're always a lot of fun... Keep 'em rolling, my friend... Cuz the Legacy of Gold is red hot!
