This was a good double shot ot tv.  I would love to see David take the belt from dusty, but I'm sure whatever happens will be fun to watch due to the great dynamic of two good ole boys from texas fighting over the world title in their home state.  The fans there should be mighty proud of both of them.
 
Casey probably just signed his death warrant by getting the Funk brothers riled up.
 
You've got a lot of interesting things going on here in World Class.  Not too bad for the 2nd ranked Texas based promotion.

Great stuff here!  WCCW is always a great read...can't wait for the Thanksgiving show!
