Really like the new programming format... It's a great way to cast the spotlight on a wide array of talent... Nice work! I might have too many main eventers on the main show now but I like how it's shaping up otherwise. |

By hook or by crook, the 'Roos hold onto the gold... But, a rematch against Brody & Mosca is on the horizon... Will they be so lucky the next time around? The 'Roos are a team you can set your watch by. I'd put them right up with the Road Warriors and British Bulldogs. |
