So I was organizing my closet and came across my shoebox of black and white cards. I broke it open and was blown away by how great some of the artwork was. I could not resist breaking out the dice for at least one card.
BW LOW Card 01 - Landover, MD - Capital Centre

An absolute banger of an opener with the Naptown Dragons using their double team finishers multiple times against both of their opponents. Rocca was busted open after being flung into the ring post by both his opponents. In the end, DiPaolo countered Scotty Vortekz’s cross body deathjump with a roll through for the three count.

Match 08 - Buddy Rogers v. Jimmy Snuka for the vacant World Title

I had so much fun rolling this out and since there were so many questions lingering at the end of the event, I have to see this through until I least have the champions determined. Blame the dice!!!.
Commissioner Charlie Cox was quick address the World Title and World Tag Team Title situation. Both titles will remain vacant and will be filled in rematches at an upcoming card at the Boston Garden!
Up next, action from Portland, ME at the Civic Centre featuring a six man tag team match in the main event with Buddy Rogers joining Ted DiBiase & Virgil to challenge Jimmy Snuka and the Samoan Tribe plus a rematch from tonight with Naptown Dragons taking on the team of Ilio DiPaolo & Antonino Rocca.
