The Road Warriors are not impressed with the decision of the referee tonight and have demanded an immediate rematch with the Valentines for the Tag Team Titles. That will take place on the next card.

Nick Bockwinkel was very disappointed with himself after letting his match with Buddy Rogers slip away. Rogers must know he was a beaten man tonight that should be win the title, Bockwinkel will be one of the first men to chase him for the gold.

Giant Baba seems to have recovered from his one sided loss against Nick Bockwinkel and looked impressive in his tag team match with partner The Destroyer. The Destroyer and Baba have a long history together both teaming and feuding. They have appeared to put their past differences aside and may be considered for a significant push in the tag team division over the next few cards.

Up next we head to St. Louis where the LWF will stage a rare card outside the East Coast. Word has it that Buddy Rogers used his influence with local promoters to allow the card to take place. Matches already signed include….

[tman34]

I pick Bastien over Virgil ,Baba Iron Sheik and Volkoff over Destoryer and The Valentines and Frank Gotch over Buddy Rogers .....Nice Card once again Booker Bill I like the way you go into detail in your matches

[bookerbill]

Thanks Tman

I have tried various ways of reporting but I always get the most out of it when I write it up this way. I used to make point form in a book but I have gone paperless and set up shop in front of the home computer.

The pace moves slower but I am particularly enjoying my restart this time. Baba's heel turn stands out in particular because it was something that I just made on the fly when the match ended in doubles. It is great when the dice dictate what is going to happen next because you never know yourself until you roll.

The referee recovers and calls for the bell as the champions and their manager retreat to the floor. The referee awards the match to Sheik & Volkoff by disqualification!

After 10 cards I thought I would list my top ten power list...

1. Bobo Brazil: The LWF’s only undefeated wrestler (7 -0) and current reigning United States Champion. Faces all comers, face or heel.

2. Iron Sheik & Nikolai Volkoff: The LWF’s only undefeated tag team (6-0) and current World Tag Team Champions. Seemingly unstoppable after destroying the Valentines to capture the gold. Have yet to face the Road Warriors.

3. Giant Baba: Recent heel turn has changed the gentle giant into a raging monster. Is poised to challenge for one of LWF’s singles straps.

4. Harley Race: Failed to unseat Bobo Brazil as United States Champion. Now seems focused on tag team action with partner Nick Bockwinkel

5. Frank Gotch: The current World Champion after defeating Buddy Rogers and looks impressive in title defenses.

6. Gorgeous George: Has gotten the best of The Sandman despite his valet having to endure several beer showers. Played a key roll in taking out Jimmy Snuka

7. Road Warriors: The most powerful team in the LWF continue to have their hands full with the trio of Killer Kowalski, King Kong Bundy & Ox Baker. Seem to have fallen off the championship trail.

8. Buddy Rogers: The first LWF World Champion will need to fight his way back into contention.

9. Playboy Buddy Rose: Success against Jimmy Snuka lands Rose in the top ten. Assisted in putting the Superfly on the shelf

10. Greg Valentine: Former co-holder of the World Tag Team Championship with his father. Will now face his father in a singles feud.

Great card Booker Bill Gorgeous George and The Sandman seem to have a hot feud in your fed. As of late I have had Sandman feud with Ox Baker but Baker has put The Sandman out for three cards as a result of his heart punch. Keep up the great work on you cards
