A great week of shows! I especially liked seeing Blackjack Mulligan get right in there and mix it up with Kimala.
 
Piper has also staked out a place himself in the main event scene. His matches with Johnny Weaver and Terry Funk would have been great.

Great to see Tri-States with these house shows.
 
Jackson- JYD with a nice win over my sentimental fav Hanson. Too bad Lanny wasn't as successful as Randy when they wrestled singles. Loved the six man with my mark part being Weaver grabbing the purse and throwing it. The Gilberts and Mulligan would have had the crowd on their feet. Good to see Funk win here.
 
Fleming-Weaver and Hanson. Be still my heart. JYD and Mulligan were awesome. I would imagine Triangle matches were not the norm in this period but it certainly would have been entertaining. The wrestlers having to seperate Piper and Funk would have been the talk of the parking lot.
 
Manchester-Lightfoot upsetting Ware? An upset in no uncertain terms. The DD, Kimala, the Gilberts, and Blackjack is the most entertaining part here. great six man.
 
Pikesville-Morton and Weaver represented what wrestling is all about. The DD being left by Lanny is not going to sit well with Izzy. That could get good. Savage/Funk was a classic.
 
Hope these house shows will be a regular part of Tri-States. Well worth the wait.
