Roadies seem so far to be doing what they do in my round robins.

Go Midnight.

LTL Tag Team League S1C13

Sheepherders vs. Road Warriors
Road Warriors (Hawk) defeated Sheepherders (Luke Williams) with a DOOMSDAY DEVICE. The Road Warriors pick up the win and make the Sheepherders the first team that will have to fight for their spot in the league at Night of Eliminations 2. Hawk and Animal hit the Doomsday Device even though Hawk was battered by the Sheepherders for a good portion of the match. 2.5*

The Vachons vs. Midnight Express
Midnight Express defeated The Vachons by DQ. A back-and-forth match between these two teams that ends on a DQ when Mad Dog Vachon tosses Dennis Condrey out of the ring, follows him out and grabs a steel chair from the timekeeper, shoves the ref who tries to get between Vachon and Condrey to the ground, and blasts Condrey hard in the head with the chair. This potentially sets up a match of undefeated teams next week as the Midnight Express will face the Fantastics. The Vachons are one loss away from having a match scheduled for Night of Eliminations 2. 2*

Fantastics vs. Love Brothers
Love Brothers (Reginald Love) defeated Fantastics (Tommy Rogers) with an ATOMIC DROP. Exciting match that sees the Love Brothers knockoff the Fantastics when Reginald Love hit the Atomic Drop on Tommy Rogers. This match means there will be no matchup of undefeated teams on the next card, but the Fantastics will head into next week looking to hand the Midnight Express their first loss and tie them in the standings. 3*

Rock n Roll Express vs. Bockwinkel & Stevens
Bockwinkel & Stevens (Ray Stevens) defeated Rock n Roll Express (Robert Gibson) with a CRIPPLING PILEDRIVER. This match ended quickly after an all-out brawl in the center of the ring after the Rock n Roll Express hit Ray Stevens with the double dropkick, only to have Stevens nail Robert Gibson with his crippling piledriver finish once order was restored. 1.5*

Go Midnight.

The Midnight Express have grabbed first place with 3 cards to go. They face the Fantastics, Road Warriors and Rock n Roll Express. Looks like it is going to be a tall order to hang on to first.

LTL Tag Team League S1C14

Bockwinkel & Stevens vs. Love Brothers
Bickwinkel & Stevens (Nick Bockwinkel) defeated Love Brothers (Reginald Love) with a Cross Body Block. Exciting match between these two teams. Both teams had multiple opportunities to put their opponents away only to have a timely save or last second kickout extend the match. Bockwinkel finally caught Reginald Love with a cross body block off the ropes that Love couldn't recover from. 3.5*

Midnight Express vs. Fantastics
Midnight Express (Bobby Eaton) defeated Fantastics (Bobby Fulton) with a quick roll-up. This looked like a possible contender for best match of the season but ended up a dud instead. Bobby Eaton and Bobby Fulton started things off quickly, with a lot of whips into the ropes and running around. Before anyone could blink, Eaton rolled up Fulton with a quick pin as Eaton was coming off the ropes. Fulton lowered his head too early for a backdrop and got caught for the 1-2-3. DUD

Road Warriors vs. The Vachons
Road Warriors (Hawk) defeated The Vachons (Mad Dog Vachon) with a DOOMSDAY DEVICE. While the Vachons are a team that can definitely stand up to the Road Warriors, they could not get them in any pinning predicaments. On offense, the Road Warriors almost toyed with the Vachons until they hit the Doomsday Device on Mad Dog Vachon for the second time in the match as he had miraculously survived one earlier. 1.5*

Rock n Roll Express vs. Sheepherders
Rock n Roll Express (Ricky Morton) defeated Sheepherders (Luke Williams) with a DOUBLE DROPKICK. In an exciting match between two teams with contrasting styles, the Rock n Roll Express hand the Sheepherders another loss. The Sheepherders have only two matches left to pick up a win. 3.5*

Current Standings

Midnight Express 5-0
Fantastics 3-2

The Vachons 1-4
Sheepherders 0-5

LTL Tag Team League S1C15


Midnight Express vs. Road Warriors
Midnight Express (Dennis Condrey) defeated Road Warriors (Animal) with a DQ. The Midnight Express get under the skin of the Road Warriors and win via DQ when Animal smashes Dennis Condrey on the floor with a steel chair. The ref was distracted by in the ring by Bobby Eaton's shenanigans with Hawk, so never noticed that Condrey tried to hit Animal first. With this tainted win, the Midnight Express will win the inaugural LTL Tag Team League and be crowned LTL Tag Team Champions after the final show of the season. The Road Warriors will be looking to win next week and avoid having to fight for their spot in the league. 1.5*

The Vachons vs. Bockwinkel & Stevens
Bockwinkel & Stevens (Nick Bockwinkel) defeated Butcher Vachon with a Flying Elbow Drop. Nick Bockwinkel picks up a win for his team after pulling a page from Randy Savage's playbook and hitting Butcher Vachon with a flying elbow drop. With the win, Bockwinkel & Stevens secure their spot in the league for next season but will be looking for a win nevertheless when they step into the ring for their final match against the Road Warriors. 1.5*

Fantastics vs. Sheepherders
Sheepherders (Butch Miller) defeated Fantastics (Bobby Fulton) with a Pin Reversal. More shenanigans in this match as the Sheepherders get their first win when Bobby Fulton covers Butch Miller after a vicious dropkick to the face, only to have Luke Williams jump in the ring and smash Fulton on the back of the head and reverse the pin while the ref was forcing Tommy Rogers out of the ring as he was trying to stop Willimas from breaking up the initial pin attempt. The Fantastics will now be looking to avoid a match at Night of Eliminations 2 on the next card when they face off against the Vachons. 1.5*

Love Brothers vs. Rock n Roll Express
Rock n Roll Express (Ricky Morton) defeated Love Brothers (Hartford Love) with a DOUBLE DROPKICK. The Rock n Roll Express finish off the Love Brothers by keeping Hartford Love isolated and hitting him with their patented double dropkick finisher. Robert Gibson made sure Reginald Love could not make the save, helping the Rock n Roll Express secure their spot in the league next season. The Love Brothers will now have to fight for their spot in the league season at Night of Eliminations 2. 2*

Midnight Express 6-0
Bockwinkel & Stevens 4-2

LTL Tag Team League S1C16

Sheepherders vs. Love Brothers
Sheepherders (Luke Williams) defeated Love Brothers (Reginald Love) with a DOUBLE GUTBUSTER. Solid match for two teams headed to Night of Eliminations 2. Sheepherders had the better part of the action for most of the match and end it on a double gutbuster. 2*

The Vachons vs. Fantastics
This match ended in a draw (Double DQ). The ref lost control of what was an entertaining match and DQs both teams for brawling in and out of the ring. This might not be the outcome the Fantastics wanted, but it saves them from having to fight at Night of Eliminations 2. They will be part of next season's tag team league. 2.5*

Bockwinkel & Stevens vs. Road Warriors
Bockwinkel & Stevens (Nick Bockwinkel) defeated Road Warriors (Hawk) with a BOCKWINKEL SLEEPER. Bockwinkel & Stevens turn the table on the Road Warriors and jump them as they step in the ring. Ray Stevens tossed Animal out of the ring as Nick Bockwinkel went to work on Hawk. Bockwinkel got him in a sleeper and ended the match almost as soon as it started. The Road Warriors will have to defend their spot in the league at Night of Eliminations 2, something unthinkable when the league started. 1*

Rock n Roll Express vs. Midnight Express
Rock n Roll Express (Robert Gibson) defeated Midnight Express (Bobby Eaton) with a DOUBLE DROPKICK. As expected, these two teams put on a show. The Rock n Roll Express hand their long-time rivals their only loss of the season. The Midnight Express are presented with the LTL Tag Team Championship belts at the end of the show, and they vow to have a long reign as champs. 3*

Final Standings

Midnight Express 6-1
Bockwinkel & Stevens 5-2
Rock n Roll Express 5-2
Fantastics 3-3-1
Road Warriors 3-4
Sheepherders 2-5
Love Brothers 2-5

Night of Eliminations 2 S1C17

Flying Redheads vs. James Gang
James Gang (Kip James) defeated Flying Red Heads (Red Bastien) with a STANDING LEG DROP. The James Gang make short work of the Flying Red Heads and will enter the tag team league next season as the replacements for the Midnight Express. Red Bastion was on the receiving end of all the offense by the James Gang in this one as Billy Red Lyons stood helplessly by. 1*

The Vachons vs. Heavenly Bodies
Heavenly Bodies (Stan Lane) defeated The VAchons (Butcher Vachon) with a RUSSIAN LEG SWEEP. The Heavenly Bodies eliminate the Vachons from the tag team league in a solid match that sees Stan Lane finish off Butcher Vachon. 3*

Sheepherders vs. Miracle Violence Connection
Miracle Violence Connection (Terry Gordy) defeated Sheepherders (Luke Williams) with a STF. The Miracle Violence Connection run through the Sheepherders, who lose their spot in the league for next season. .5*

Love Brothers vs. Iron Sheik & Nikolai Volkoff
Love Brother (Reginald Love) defeated Iron Sheik & Nikolai Volkoff (Nikolai Volkoff) with an ATOMIC DROP. The Love Brothers become the first team to successfully defend their spot in the league. The Love Brothers isolate Nikolai Volkoff, and using a series of quick tags and getting Volkoff into several pinning predicaments, wear him down to the point that Reginald Love is able to hit him with the Atomic Drop and end the match. 3*

Road Warriors vs. Mr. Fuji & Mr. Saito
Road Warriors (Animal) defeated Mr. Fuji & Mr. Saito (Mr. Fuji) with a DOOMSDAY DEVICE. Mr. Fuji and Mr. Saito looked to have the match in hand early on as they had Animal down and out a couple of times. However, a hot tag to Hawk, and then another quick tag to Animal, and Mr. Fuji found himself on Animal's shoulders watching Hawk flying off the top rope at him. Hawk continued on the take care of Mr. Saito as he tried to jump in the ring and make a save as Animal secured the pin in an awfully quick match. 1.5*
