Great stuff, Ty. Buddy Rose seems to have had a nice run as IC champ. Being a relative newbie to LOW, I was shocked when he advanced all the way to the finals of my recent 72-man tournament.

Hey Dave. Rose somehow got on a good long run of wins for me and then took the I-C title. He scored a fast pin in the rematch with the Sheik but then lost to the Iron Sheik. That's the way the dice goes sometimes.
