Brody and Abby have my brass knucks money but Patterson is my sentimental fav. Mickey, the way you have set up Jack/Studd and Tully/Mansfield at the top is masterful. The use of Fergie is enjoyable. Kinda was surprised that Rossi bowed down with out a fight. I am relieved that Cooley isn't totally on board with Riddle as his manager. Timbs and Embry are just the swarmy heels that the fans love to hate. Nice booking there.
 
Continuing to devour SWCW.

I second BG on the format, never have seen that before I might borrow that coming up here as it seems real clean in the presentation. Great show, Mulligan-Studd is going to be amazing, can t wait for the brass knux tourney.
