Gary Hart's Orient Express is an impressive trio. Tanaka is probably near the end of his ME run, but with his back up in Fuji and Saito he is still more than a threat.  
 
Pez Whatley is a solid challenger, but let's get down to brass tacks... Brody and Ladd will have to be in a cage to protect the fans across Texas.
 
Good to see a slow build on David von Erich because he needs a few months, if not a year or two, to really step up to the title chase.
 
You have a special feel for Texas and love what you're doing there. Keep up the good work.

Brody vs. Ladd is, indeed, a dream fued that is going to be thrilling to see build.
 
Tanaka gets a pin he can build a American title chase on.
 
I love the push Al Madrid gets here.
 
Hope Whatley gets back in the win column.
 
Great TV.
