AWA WORLD JUNIOR HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE
ROWDY RODDY PIPER vs. TIGER MASK ©

The fans are strongly in the corner of the champ here. Everybody seems to hate Piper. Piper moves out of the way of a split legged moonsault late and looks ready to win. Dick Slater comes down and stands outside the ring with his arm crossed. Piper starts to argue. Mask gets in behind and lands a Samoan drop. Slater walks away, as the pin is made @ 26:00. (M)

I have some things here that are catching my interest in GA.  Elder statesman Bobo taking a steadying hand / mentor role for some other WWA types?  Wondering what the Humper really thinks about his troupe.
 
Good result for Soto - a trend or just a happenstance (if so, I LIKE these occasional "surprise" resulys even if they are random).
 
Georgia is humming along and I use astrict 3 reviews per territory per sitting rule!
