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! I'm kicking around ideas to make the tournaments different. Maybe a round robin tournament and a double elimination tournament later in the year. The only reason I'm not gung ho about doing a round robin is that it burns through too many first time matches and it's hard for someone to come back if he's on the losing end of the tournament. |

I just cycle them out as long as necessary but I do like round robin
Double Elimination though, that's the ticket.

The only knock I have against a double elimination tournament is that it'll be a three or four day event, probably. Maybe the LWF will tour the South Pacific or something and do the tournament that way. |

I haven't done a Lethal Lottery since sometime in my COTG days so I might give that a shot at some point. |

Well in round 1  Mind you the only match where I would consider it a mild upset in round 2 is if Dr. Death beats Thesz. |
