I like the ratings and I find it interesting how for one belt Svern is right near the top, for another belt he is very low rated. Good job.

funny how a win or a lose can change the rankings.

I did make one mistake this time in the world title rankings. I forgot Kowalski who is #1 in ICW.

To keep things fairly simple when calculating the world rankings I start with the two singles champs. Then I compare the No. 1 contender from each fed and they go at 3 & 4, then so on down the line. So Kowalski should be No. 4 for the world title with the rest pushed down one, which means Hack falls out of the top 10. Not always perfect but works well enough.

Eight-man Tag Elimination Match
"Old School Grapplers" vs. "Hardcore Icons"

It was the mat technicians against the brawlers in this one. George Hackenschmidt eliminated Sabu early after a knee smash to the back. Ox Baker then got D.Q.ed while fighting on the outside.

The Sheik finally pinned Ed Lewis following an elbow smash. "The Strangler" had been hammered by a fireball, the camel clutch and the claw before that.

Frank Gotch beat Killer Kowalski with the Toe Hold. Kowalski had missed a knee drop and Gotch applied the rolling knee bar before his finisher.

The Sheik faced 3-on-1 odds. He got rid of Jim Londos with the camel clutch. The Sheik then got a submission out of Gotch. Hackenschmidt had been in a long time pounding away on the Sheik.

Now one on one, Hackenschmidt beat the Sheik with a twisting heel hook to be the sole survivor.

The main event had the Road Warriors defending the world tag team titles against Harley Race & Bruiser Brody. The Heenan Family were seriously beaten all over the place in this one but kept coming back. It was a wild one with all four wrestlers, Heenan and Ellering all involved at one time or another. Race and Brody both refused to lost after the Doomsday Device. Finally the LOD got the pinfall to retain the belts.

Note: Race had 8 coins and Brody four.

November 20, 2117

Ed "Strangler" Lewis opened the show with a fast win over Ox Baker with the dreaded side headlock.

George Hackenschmidt stopped the recent winning ways of newcomer Rick Rude with the Russian Bear Hug.

The Iron Sheik defended his I-C title against Johnny Valentine in what turned out to be one of the best matches in recent months. Johnny V. attacked right from the start and had the I. Sheik running. It turned into a war of attrition with both men taking control at different points of the match and not going down to the other finisher. The fight spilled to the floor and back into the ring where both men were disqualified.

The Vachons put their I-C tag team titles on the line against the Sheik & Sabu in the main event. This one was a brutal encounter as was expected. Butcher got out of trouble to bring in Mad Dog. The Sheik was caught using the Fireball and D.Q.ed, but this one is long from over.
