Kirsten signs off and tells everyone to tune in next week to CENTRAL STATES WRESTLING
       

With the Animal, the Bulldog, a Tiger, and the freight train in the tournament, the Central States title immediately has some quality behind it.  
 
The Krauts and the Strongbows will be a solid feud to establish your tag ranks.
 
I wonder if Uncle Waldo may not find a man more willing than his nephew to take his guidence in the singles ranks.

Great first match for Horner.  He steps right to the top of the pecking order of challengers for the Jr Heavyweight Title.
 
I love the meeting of the Von Erichs.  That should add color to all of David's matches in Central States as long as he has the belt.

Great first show. Having all the world champions (if you can call NWA champions world champions) and the NWA president on it was a stoke of genius. Really sets up where you are headed. As stated, the title tourney will be huge as well the Strongbows and the Germans. You really have me intrigued to see what happens next. Solid show Shaq.
