LOW - Legends of Wrestling

[cruefan68]

Thanks for the comments Pariah and Crimson. The Jerry Lynn vs. The Destroyer match was one of those matches that had me marking out with just about every dice roll as it reached the eighth and final round. It could have gone either way and it was that missed corner charge that eventually did Lynn in, a snake eyes roll on the turnbuckle chart. Bundy & Saint vs. OMG & Scurll was definitely a unique match that I would like to run again. The most shocking result for me was Sabre Jr. over Finlay in two straight rounds. Sabre Jr. has been pretty unspectacular for me thus far but he showed something there which hopefully can be built on.

Next up will be CWA action featuring Angelo Mosca vs. Don Muraco in the final qualifying match of the PWI Invitational Cup Tournament. After that one is done I will put up the full listing for the tournament. I hope to have that show done by the weekend.

LOW Capitol Wrestling Alliance - Eddie Graham Sports Complex - Orlando, FL (Card #1084)

1) Damien Martinez defeated George South:
George South of LOW All-Star Wrestling bravely faced “The Punishment” Damien Martinez, accompanied by Kevin Sullivan, in the opening bout. Martinez has proven to be a wrecking machine thus far in his CWA appearances representing the Army of Darkness. Sullivan looked on pleased as Martinez dismantled South before delivering South of Heaven, a chokeslam, for the pin. Sullivan grabbed the mic post-match and warned anyone, including Bruiser Brody, that a “punishment awaits them” if they interfere with the direction of the Army of Darkness.

2) Curt Hennig defeated C.W. Anderson:
A highly competitive bout saw Curt Hennig, a former LOW Tex-Arkana Television champion, taking on C.W. Anderson, the first graduate of the KRU dojo in Japan. Hennig recently failed to qualify for the PWI Invitational Cup Tournament and felt that he has something to prove as does Anderson who has been an underrated talent on the CWA roster. Hennig controlled the early part of the match until Anderson took over working the arm including using the wrenching arm bar and hammerlock slam. Hennig showed great resiliency and battled back before catching Anderson with the Hennig Plex to score the pin.

3) Dream Team defeated The Fantastics:
The tag team division of CWA and LOW overall is strong as evidenced by this match between The Fantastics (Bobby Fulton & Tommy Rogers) and the Dream Team (Brutus Beefcake & Greg Valentine). Both teams brought their “A” games and had a hard-fought battle with a surprise finish. The Fantastics showed off their great teamwork several times including hitting the double sitout hip toss. They got the better of the Dream Team for a good stretch including Rogers scoring a two count on Valentine with a crucifix roll-up. Valentine, however, would have the key to victory as he caught Fulton with a Counter Running Lariat out of the corner and pinned him as Beefcake fended off a save attempt by Rogers. The Dream Team scored a big win over The Fantastics as both teams vie for a tag team title opportunity.

4) Missing Link defeated Jimmy Valiant:
The popular Jimmy “Boogie Woogie Man” Valiant took on the Missing Link, accompanied by his manager J.J. Dillon, in a wild brawl. It was the start of a busy night for Dillon who looked on pleased as the Link tore into Valiant from the opening bell. The Link wound up hitting the Back Flying Headbutt but Valiant kicked out of the pin with authority. Valiant battled back connecting with a running elbow smash among other moves. They took the battle outside where the Link managed to gain the upper hand. Back inside the ring it was the Link delivering an Atomic Drop and covering Valiant for the pin as Dillon held down his legs from ringside. It was a controversial finish but Dillon sent a message that he was prepared to have a successful night at ringside.

5) Nick Bockwinkel defeated Rick Rude:
J.J. Dillon was right back out at ringside accompanying his latest acquisition, “Ravishing” Rick Rude, for an all-important match against Nick Bockwinkel, a former LOW World Heavyweight champion. Bockwinkel recently qualified for the PWI Invitational Cup Tournament so he was looking to build on that momentum as he took on Rude. He did a solid job of controlling the pace of the match and nearly put Rude away with the Bockwinkel Sleeper early in the match. Rude fought out of that situation and went on offensive hitting key moves like the top rope kneedrop and swinging neckbreaker. Bockwinkel came back after a counter and again locked on the Bockwinkel Sleeper but Dillon interfered hitting him in the back of the head with his shoe. Rude looked to take it home from there but somehow Bockwinkel survived and again locked on the Bockwinkel Sleeper. This time Rude went out and Bockwinkel captured an impressive submission win much to the chagrin of Dillon.

6) LOW Junior Heavyweight title: Stan Lane defeated Kenny Omega© by DQ:
Midnight Rockers member Stan Lane received a golden opportunity as he challenged “The Cleaner” Kenny Omega for the LOW Junior Heavyweight title. Omega was accompanied by his allies the Young Bucks (Matt & Nick Jackson) as the trio comprises “The Elite” faction of the Bullet Club in KRU. Lane then called to the back and out came his tag team Marty Jannetty to a big pop from the crowd. The referee wanted to eject all three men from ringside but Lane said that Jannetty would keep his eye on the Bucks so they could stay. Omega dominated from the opening bell and had Lane in trouble with moves like the Hadouken, fireman’s carry and Moonsault combo and the Tokyo Chainsaw Massacre. Lane mounted a counterattack late after winning a battle on the outside as Jannetty kept the Bucks at bay. Back inside he hit the Midnight Lariat and had Omega reeling but then the champion duck into his bag of tricks and used the Spray Can on him. Lane won the match on a disqualification but Omega retained the title much to the delight of the Bucks who “Too Sweet” taunted Jannetty at ringside.

7) PWI Invitational Cup Tournament – Qualifying Match: Angelo Mosca defeated Don Muraco by DQ:
The final qualifying match in the PWI Invitational Cup Tournament took place as CWA star Angelo “King Kong” Mosca, managed by J.J. Dillon, took on PCW star “The Magnificent” Don Muraco who had his manager Sir Oliver Humperdink at ringside. The presence of the two very successful managers only added to the intense battle between Mosca and Muraco. It wasn’t long before the two men battled to the floor where Dillon and Humperdink tried to call the shots. Mosca gained control and whipped Muraco hard into the guard rail much to the delight of Dillon. He continued his attack until Humperdink moved in with his Singapore cane drawing the attention of Dillon. As the two managers argued it was Muraco grabbing the cane away from Humperdink and using it to assault Mosca. He delivered several shots with the weapon, including a few inside the ring, and the referee had no choice but to call for the bell. Mosca won the unsatisfying encounter by disqualification and advances to the tournament during WrestleCade II weekend where he will face Bullet Club member Adam Cole in the opening round.

8) LOW World tag team titles: Road Warriors vs. Steve Williams & Terry Gordy© was a DDQ:
The main event was a rematch for the LOW World tag team titles as former champions the Road Warriors (Animal & Hawk, with Paul Ellering) challenged the Miracle Violence Connection (Steve “Dr. Death” Williams & Terry “Bamm Bamm” Gordy) for the gold. The MVC dominated most of the initial action including Gordy nearly putting Animal away with the controversial Oriental Spike. Animal powered up and mounted a comeback which led to him and Hawk putting the MVC on the defensive for a good stretch. This one eventually ended up outside the ring and unfortunately for the third consecutive match it resulted in a technical decision. All four men traded blows around ringside as the referee urged them to return to the ring. Once chairs got involved that was it and the referee called for the bell ordering a double disqualification which allowed Williams and Gordy to retain the titles in their version two defense. The Road Warriors tried to hit the Doomsday Device on Gordy post-match but Williams made the save drawing jeers from the crowd.

[Deleted]

George Hackenschmidt vs. Pampero Firpo
Jushin Liger vs. Pepper Gomez
Dutch Savage vs. AJ Styles
King Kong Bundy vs. Giant Baba
Nick Bockwinkel vs. The Mountie
William Muldoon vs. Exotic Adrian Street
Ed Lewis vs. The Destroyer
Adam Cole vs. Angelo Mosca




The Road Warriors and The Miracle Violence Connection might just have to settle this in a CAGE!

[Pariah]

The brackets for the PWI Invitational are set... Of course, I'll be hoping for Styles vs The Mountie in the final, but both men have a challenging road before them... One of my favorite events on the calendar and it will be upon us before we know it...

Great to see that the leader of the Bullet Club Elite is up to his usual tricks, making sure to hold onto the LOW Jr Heavyweight title by whatever means necessary... It would be kinda cool if this leads to a future six-man encounter... The Midnight Rockers will have to find a third man to face off with Omega and the Bucks...

As stated by our friend, @kevinb - Drastic measures might be needed to settle things between the Roadies and the MVC... Neither team is going to give up without a brutal fight... Especially with tag team gold on the line...

Awesome stuff, as always!

[Crimson Cross]

That CWA show had plenty of results I really liked from Stan Lane winning and yeah it sucks he didn't get the gold, then the Dream Team over The Fantastics is a solid win for one of my all time favorites in the Dream Team. Angelo Mosca winning in that PWiT Qualifier is good stuff, but if Don Muraco would've won, I would've been happy as well. Thats a very good line up for you PWiT and it's one of my favorite events of yours as you know...

[cruefan68]

Thanks for the comments and predictions KB, Pariah and Crimson. The PWI Invitational Cup Tournament is also one of my favorite events and I really like how the field set up this year. Thanks also for the booking suggestion as it looks like I am leaning towards the Warriors vs. Doc & Gordy in a cage at WrestleCade 11. Next up we go to a huge night of action at MSG which sets up the world title match for WrestleCade 11. I hope you enjoy it and also I wrote a lot for this card something I hope to streamline in the future. I am looking at several ways to do it and have been inspired by all three of your feds - KB, Pariah and Crimson - as well as others so look for a possible change in the way I present my results posting after WrestleCade 11...

LOW Capitol Wrestling Alliance - Madison Square Garden - New York, NY (Card #1085)

1) Killer Bees defeated Backseat Boys:
A big night of action at MSG kicked off with the Killer Bees (Brian Blair & Jim Brunzell) facing the Backseat Boys (Trent Acid & Johnny Kashmere) of ASW. The Backseat Boys looked great early on as they controlled the action. Unfortunately for them a defensive tag by Blair helped turn the tide. Kashmere impressively kicked out after taking a Killer Dropkick from Brunzell but that was the beginning of the end. The Bees went on a tear and wound up hitting the Bee Sting on Kashmere with Brunzell scoring the pin as Blair fended off a save attempt by Acid.

2) Scott Taylor defeated Big John Studd:
Westbrook, ME, native Scott Taylor, who recently signed a contract with the CWA, was in for a tough one as he took on Big John Studd. J.J. Dillon, the manager of Studd, was not at ringside due to other obligations but the 6’10” and 364-pound native of Los Angeles, CA, usually doesn’t need any help. After an early offensive by Taylor it was Studd taking over with powerful moves like the double arm suplex. He attempted a deathjump but that backfired as he missed and Taylor dove on him for a two count. Moments later, with the crowd cheering him on, Taylor stunned Studd with a DDT and then executed The Worm to score the pin. The crowd went crazy as Taylor picked up a huge win. Studd was beside himself post-match as he grabbed the referee and tossed him over the top rope after claiming that he had kicked out of the pin. This loss will not sit well with Dillon or LOW Commissioner Charlie Cox who was in the building to witness Studd assaulting the referee.

3) Larry Zbyszko defeated Tommy Rich:
The popular “Wildfire” Tommy Rich out of Hendersonville, TN, took on the arrogant Larry Zbyszko, the self-proclaimed “Living Legend” hailing from Pittsburgh, PA. Rich seemed off his game after missing a corner charge allowing Zbyszko to dominate the action including scoring consecutive near falls with the Piledriver. He relentlessly attacked Rich after that including executing the spinning back kick several times. Rich was unable to get any momentum going and it was a third delivery of the Piledriver that resulted in Zbyszko scoring a snake eyes pin. Big John Studd then hit the ring and dropped several elbows on the downed Rich before Zbyszko joined him for a two-on-one attack. Rich was in dire straits until Scott Taylor ran in with a chair and hit both Zbyszko and Studd with it driving them out of the ring. PWI Editor Bill Apter caught up with Rich and Taylor backstage and the demanded a match with Studd and Zbyszko on the next edition of LOW All-Star Wrestling.

4) Midnight Express defeated Heartbreak Express:
The cult favorite Heartbreak Express (Fabulous Phil Davis & Superstar Sean Davis) of ASW met an old rival in the Jim Cornette-led Midnight Express (“Loverboy” Dennis Condrey & “Beautiful” Bobby Eaton). Cornette tore it up on the mic pre-match insulting the Heartbreak Express while singing the praises of his four-time LOW World tag team champions. The manager was in rare form and living it up at ringside as his men executed a systematic breakdown of the Heartbreak duo. They eventually cut off the ring assaulting Phil before nailing him with the Double Goozle resulting in Condrey scoring the pin.

5) Ring Angels title: Mildred Burke© defeated Leilani Kai by DQ:
The Ring Angels title was on the line as defending champion Mildred Burke took on the strong challenge of Leilani Kai. Both women seemed determined to deliver a great match and that they did. Kai was very impressive scoring two counts on Burke with the butterfly suplex and Running Splash. She also neutralized Burke with the Boston Crab hold. Burke struck back scoring near falls of her own with the suplex and the Sunset Flip. It became a battle of suplex exchanges late as each woman looked to pick up the win. Kai fought Burke head on late in the battle stunning the champion. They fought to the outside where Kai lost control sending Burke head first into the ring post resulting in a disqualification decision. Burke retained the title in her version four defense but Kai proved to be a very capable challenger.

6) Falls Count Anywhere Match: The Warlord defeated George Steele:
The entire building needed to be on alert for this one as Captain Lou Albano lead George “The Animal” Steele into a Falls Count Anywhere Match against his former charge The Warlord. Abdullah Farouk, the rival manager of Albano, was also at ringside and equally on alert should the Captain attempt to get physical himself. This match was signed due to Steele costing The Warlord a chance to win the LOW Tex-Arkana Television title from Blackjack Mulligan on the most recent edition of LOW All-Star Wrestling. This was absolute insanity and that is just what took place inside the ring. Steele roughed up The Warlord early including jabbing a foreign object into his throat. He followed up scoring two counts with a running knee and a headbutt. The Warlord fought back and nearly pinned Steele after connecting with a counter running lariat out of the corner. They eventually fought back to the locker room area where television cameras captured an exhausted Warlord delivering a Bodyslam and press to score the pin on the locker room floor. Farouk quickly led The Warlord away as Albano checked on the condition of “The Animal”.

7) The Patriot & Kip James defeated The Mongols:
The Patriot & Kip James joined forces to do battle with The Mongols (Bepo & Geeto) who were accompanied by their manager Abdullah Farouk. His presence didn’t last too long as Farouk fled ringside when Captain Lou Albano ran out chasing him off. The absence of their manager seemed to have an effect on The Mongols who struggled mightily in the early part of the match. Geeto impressively survived both the Patriot Missile by The Patriot and the Standing Leg Drop by James, with a save by Bepo on the latter, to keep his team in the match. The Mongols took over with roughhousing tactics and Bepo scored a two count on The Patriot with a Croatian Suplex. Things were looking good for them until suddenly George “The Animal” Steele ran out providing a distraction. The Patriot took full advantage of that and planted Geeto with Uncle Slam, a full nelson slam, to score the pin drawing a big pop from the crowd.

8) Hacksaw Jim Duggan vs. Ivan Koloff was a Draw:
It was the U.S.A. vs. U.S.S.R. as the popular Hacksaw Jim Duggan took on the “Russian Bear” Ivan Koloff. Captain Lou Albano, the manager of Koloff, was not at ringside adding more to the rumor mill as the two have been at odds for a few weeks. Albano, of course, may have still been chasing Abdullah Farouk around MSG. Koloff seemed to be on track as he dominated much of the initial action including scoring two counts with a counter roll-up in the corner and a top rope knee drop. Duggan had to dig down deep to battle back but he did so and nearly pinned Koloff after nailing him with the Flying Spear. Koloff barely got his foot over the bottom rope to break up the pin. Duggan wound up being busted open as the two battled around the ringside area but that did not hold him back. They continued battling it out until the bell rang ending the match in a time limit draw. LOW officials were needed to separate the two after a bloody, hard fought battle.

9) Sabu defeated Pampero Firpo:
The “Wild Bull of the Pampas” Pampero Firpo went one-on-one with the “Homicidal, Suicidal and Genocidal” Sabu in a highly-anticipated match. Sabu, who was not accompanied by his manager Abdullah Farouk, was recently cleared to return from a mild concussion injury but that did not prevent him from signing for a match with Firpo. Sabu looked like he had something to prover as he quickly trapped Firpo in the Camel Clutch for a submission chance. Firpo, who will face George Hackenschmidt, the man who eliminated Sabu in the qualifying round, in the upcoming PWI Invitational Cup Tournament, never seemed to get it going. Sabu won a battle on the outside and then hit the Arabian facebuster, a controversial chair assisted move. The referee waved it off and Sabu would follow shortly after with a spectacular Slingshot Legdrop on a downed Firpo to score the pin. Sabu clearly sent a message to Firpo, Hackenschmidt and LOW that he is a threat to any opponent.

10) LOW World Heavyweight title: Andre the Giant© defeated Frank Gotch to retain the title:
The rematch everyone had been waiting for saw LOW Commissioner Charlie Cox in the ring along with ring announcer Gary Michael Cappetta awaiting the arrival of challenger Frank Gotch of Golden Age Wrestling. The inaugural LOW World Heavyweight champion entered to big cheers from the crowd as he looked to do the unthinkable, defeat Andre the Giant for the LOW World Heavyweight title and end his undefeated streak. Andre entered to a chorus of jeers and angrily handed the title belt to Cox who passed it off to LOW Senior Referee Morgan Dollar. Andre went towards Gotch but Cox stepped in between hoping to prevent any pre-match activity. It didn’t work as Gotch gently pushed him aside and stood stone faced staring up into the eyes of a very angry champion. Cappetta proceeded with his introductions and made the crowd pop when he announced that Andre’s manager Bobby “The Brain” Heenan was banned from ringside. That rattled the champion who chased a frightened Cappetta out of the ring as Dollar called for the bell to officially get the match underway.

Andre went for an elbowdrop in the opening moments but Gotch rolled out of the way to cheers from the crowd. Gotch then executed a headlock takeover but was stunned as Andre countered and threw him into the ropes hitting a big boot to the face. The blow sent Gotch over the rope and onto the timekeeper’s table. Gotch was badly hurt as Andre reached over and flipped him back over the ropes into the ring. The crowd gasped as a smiling Andre bounced off the ropes and squashed Gotch with the Big Splash to score the pin. Just like that it was all over and Andre retained the title in convincing fashion. Jeers rained down on Andre as he grabbed his title belt and waved it in the air. Heenan raced in from the back and jumped into the arms of Andre drawing more jeers from the crowd. Andre went out to ringside and grabbed two folding chairs to sit on as paramedics assisted Gotch out of the ring. Heenan looked on with joy and sat next to Andre while taunting Cox who was seated in the front row among other LOW dignitaries. Now it was time to decide who would face Andre for the title at WrestleCade 11…

11) 12-Man Gold Star Battle Royal:
The annual 12-Man Gold Star Battle Royal, which brings together top contenders from across LOW, saw each participant enter and look over at Andre and Heenan knowing what awaited them. The winner of the match, of course, would be declared the challenger for the LOW World Heavyweight title at WrestleCade 11 which takes place at the Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome in Minneapolis, MN (Card #1100). The rules for the match follow a traditional over-the-top-rope elimination style Battle Royal until only two men are left. Those two then meet in a single fall elimination match to determine the winner. The competition was fierce among the twelve men as expected. The surprise first elimination came when Fred Blassie, the “King of Men”, ousted “Nature Boy” Buddy Rogers. Blassie taunted Rogers from inside the ring as the “Nature Boy” stormed off losing a golden opportunity. Blassie would later meet his end at the hands of an old rival when Rikidozan tossed him out of the ring. Antonio Inoki, a protégé of Rikidozan, eliminated The Sheik, the reigning LOW International Heavyweight champion, following an Enzuigiri. Inoki made it to the final five before a spirited Magnum T.A. tossed him over the top. Blackjack Mulligan, the reigning LOW Tex-Arkana Television champion, made news by tossing Harley Race over the top rope. Mulligan would make it into the final four alongside Magnum, Rikidozan and Bruiser Brody. The crowd witnessed a great battle as Brody went after Mulligan while Rikidozan fought Magnum. Mulligan was the first to go when Brody eliminated him after a one-hand bodyslam. Magnum, after an impressive run, was ousted next courtesy of overhead chops by Rikidozan. That left two men – Rikidozan and Brody – to battle it out in the elimination match.

Order of Elimination:

• Buddy Rogers (by Fred Blassie)
• The Sheik (by Antonio Inoki)
• Harley Race (by Blackjack Mulligan)
• Lou Thesz (by Rikidozan)
• Bobo Brazil (by Magnum T.A.)
• Ted Dibiase (by Bruiser Brody)
• Fred Blassie (by Rikidozan)
• Antonio Inoki (by Magnum T.A.)
• Blackjack Mulligan (by Bruiser Brody)
• Magnum T.A. (by Rikidozan)

12) Elimination Match: Bruiser Brody defeated Rikidozan:
Both men were clearly spent from their activity in the Battle Royal but that didn’t stop either Rikidozan or Bruiser Brody from laying it all on the line. They waged an incredible back and forth battle that had the crowd on the edge of their seats. Rikidozan gave away a lot in size to Brody but that did not deter him from trading blows in and out of the ring. Rikidozan nearly won it with a counter roll-up after Brody had missed a corner charge. Brody was busted open and survived another near fall situation after a piledriver by Rikidozan. Brody battled back hard and had Rikidozan in serious trouble hitting big moves like the boot to the face, twisting vertical suplex and running legdrop. More near falls followed for both men until Brody blasted Rikidozan with a big clothesline. Rikidozan was out and Brody followed up with his trademark Jumping Knee Drop to score the pin. Brody won the match an earned a huge opportunity as he will face Andre the Giant for the LOW World Heavyweight title in the main event of WrestleCade 11. Andre got up from his double chair arrangement at ringside and stared up at Brody who grabbed his chain and barked “Huss, Huss” while stomping around the ring. Andre reached up and grabbed the top rope to climb into the ring but he was talked out of it by Heenan. He let go of the rope and held up the title belt taunting the bloody Brody who was now swinging the chain. It was an unsettling finish to the show but a great tease for what should be an epic confrontation at WrestleCade 11.

[bookerbill]

What a finish. This is going to be awesome

[Pariah]

HUSS! HUSS! HUSS! Brody vs Andre at Wrestlecade for the top prize in LOW... My friend, this is the stuff from which legendary wrestling promotions are made... Cannot wait for that historic encounter...

And to build the anticipation even higher, the reigning World champ utterly squashed Gotch - The same challenger who nearly defeated him not long ago... Looks like Andre was making a statement to those competing in the Battle Royal...

Thoroughly pleased that Sabu was victorious, despite a lingering concussion... And that Falls Count Anywhere match between Steele and Warlord was every bit as vicious as expected...

Can't wait to see what you've got in mind for presentation changes... In my opinion, you could certainly cut back on your description of the actual in-ring action - If that's what you have in mind... But, I certainly hope you continue to build up future shows and drop superb references to past moments in your fed's rich history... Regardless, this will always be one of the most inspirational and entertaining feds around...

Awesome work!

[joebreakdown]

Ok, so fhe Main Event was something else.... but Scott Taylor hit The Worm on Stud?! Hah! Poor old Studd. Dillon's gonna be beside himself!

Great high level action through the card. Always great to see Firpo in action and I love seeing the HeartbreK Express on the card, even though they came up short on this occasion.
I'll let everyone else talk about Andre, Rikidozan, Brody et al....its all about the lower card for me.
Cool win for the Bees too but Brian Blair was looking a little...different. New hair cut or something or has he shaved off his facial hair?!

[cruefan68]

Thanks for the comments Bookerbill, Pariah and Joebreakdown. I could not be more happy with the way the Battle Royal turned out and that new color Bruiser Brody card seems to finally do him justice with the card changes. I wonder if he would have won with the b&w card? The Rikidozan vs. Brody final was just tremendous and could have gone either way but Brody winning sets up an incredible showdown with Andre at WrestleCade 11. I am hoping that the dice have something great lined up for Brody vs. Andre as the Andre vs. Frank Gotch match fell far short of expectations. The one thing it did do was make Andre look really strong especially after the way Gotch nearly beat him in their first match. You couldn't have described that part of the show any better, Pariah.

I know you love the undercard, Joebreakdown, so thanks for "breaking down" that part of the show. Scott Taylor over Big John Studd blew me away. This game can really bring in unexpected surprises and that was one of them. Brian Blair was looking a little light above the lip, not sure where he was prior to taking this date with LOW at MSG

Pariah, the changes I have in mind do reflect a little on what you noted. I am trying to streamline the match descriptions and just get to the meat of the action. Sometimes I just get so into the writing part I forget about just having fun and worry more about describing things. Your writing and presentation style and others on the board, both LOW and COTG, have certainly given me inspiration on making changes. I will see what I can come up with and thanks for the compliments by the way.
