Nice win by Dirty Dutch there. Lately I've been teaming him with Dundee myself and they've proven to be quite capable.
Thankfully DK won and always amusing to see what match the referee can't control and Jimmy V being part of it is no surprise.

Nice win by Dirty Dutch there. Lately I've been teaming him with Dundee myself and they've proven to be quite capable. Thankfully DK won and always amusing to see what match the referee can't control and Jimmy V being part of it is no surprise. If Stevie would have beaten DK, that would have been it. I'll probably do Dutch & Dundee after Dutch and Idol inevitably turn on each other, as was the style at the time. |

I mean any time you saw Lawler teaming with a heel, you could just count it down.
Looking forward to the eventual run and who turns first.

I mean any time you saw Lawler teaming with a heel, you could just count it down. Looking forward to the eventual run and who turns first. I wasn't planning on it at first but I'll probably make Tommy Rich the corner stone of the tag division since he's won tag belts with everyone on earth according to Wikipedia Greg Valentine, Mike Jackson, Tony Atlas, Thunderbolt Patterson, Stan Hansen, Wahoo, The Crusher, Dutch, Eddie Gilbert, Bill Dundee... |
