Spoiler and Idol Continuing their feud is a great idea.
 
Like your use of Sullivan. He was a great scientific wrestler in his day.
 
Armstrong was always one of my favorites and I am enjoying how you have continued to use him.
 
Great to see The Manchurians continuing to dominate.
 
Great NWA FLA. action.
