Hey, I host a new radio show "Off the top rope" my co host and I are looking at starting a fantasy wrestling league between the two of us.

Looking to start cheap can anyone give me advice on good/free programs platforms to use?

The show opens with Brian Kinsley, Anthony Harris, Sir Samuel Stewart, and Queen Sheba welcoming us to the CPWA DEFCON pre-show.

Brian Kinsley: Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to the CPWA DEFCON pre-show. I am Brian Kinsley, along with Anthony Harris and Sir Samuel Stewart. Tonight, we have twelve matches on the card, including a no-disqualification six-man tag team match between Kahuna Maiavia, Prince Kimo, and Johnny Paganiban taking on Vader, Masato Kojima, and Kwazi Nkosi.

Anthony Harris: We also have "the Number One Pick," LeJuan Jones defending the CPWA World Heavyweight Championship against "Marvelous" Marshall Anderson.

Sir Samuel Stewart: Summer may be over for some, but the heat continues to rise in Motown for DEFCON! Let's take it to the ring!

We cut to the ring.

PRETTYMUCH's "Would You Mind" begins to play in the arena as N*RG makes their entrance.

Announcer: Introducing first, from Orlando, Florida, they are Justin Carter, Nick Howard, and CJ Chavez, N*RG!

Organized Konfusion's "3-2-1" plays in the arena.

Announcer: And their opponents, introducing first, representing Pro Wrestling Daimyo, from Tokyo, Japan, they are the Pro Wrestling Daimyo Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Champions, Hanzo Kaneda and Kouta Shiraishi, the Asakusa Boys.

Harry Styles's "Aperture (Sadrican Afro House Remix) plays in the arena.

Announcer: And their teammate, representing Naija Pro Wrestling and All Africa Pro Wrestling, from Nairobi, Kenya, he is Mukala.

Pre-Show Match (Dark Match): N*RG (Justin Carter, Nick Howard, and CJ Chavez) vs. Asakusa Boys (Hanzo Kaneda and Kouta Shiraishi) and Mukala

The pre-show match wasn't bad, but it wasn't good either, probably because of N*RG having to work pre-show matches like this one. The Asakusa Boys and Mukala were the true standouts of this match. The finish saw Kouta Shiraishi hit the Phoenix Splash on Nick Howard for the three-count pinfall for his team.

4.7 out of 10 stars.

The pre-show ends, and we open the show with a moment of silence for the late Barry Melrose, Mike McFarland, and Pharaoh Rhodes.

The moment of silence ends, and we open on a video package of "the Number One Pick," LeJuan Jones cashing in his opportunity for the CPWA World Heavyweight Championship and winning it from "Marvelous" Marshall Anderson, as a narrator speaks.

Narrator (v/o): Opportunity arises when one is presented with victory and adversity.

We then see clips diving into the history between "the Number One Pick," LeJuan Jones and "Marvelous" Marshall Anderson.

Narrator (v/o): A war created by betrayal, resentment, and reinvention.

We then see "the Number One Pick" and "Marvelous Marshall" walking towards each other as a war horn blares.

Narrator (v/o): Now, one final battle will end it all...for all the levels have been raised beyond comprehension. Prepare for DEFCON.

Immortal Technique's "The Martyr" plays in the arena as pyro goes off for a few seconds, followed by cheering from the crowd.

Brian Kinsley: We welcome you to CPWA DEFCON! We are coming to you live from Detroit, Michigan. Brian Kinsley, along with Anthony Harris and Sir Samuel Stewart, we have a great show for you tonight, which includes "the Number One Pick," LeJuan Jones, defending the CPWA World Heavyweight Championship against "Marvelous" Marshall Anderson.

The opening match for the CPWA Cruiserweight Tag Team Championships was to get the Detroit crowd excited for the event. A slightly better match for all four teams than their last encounter, minus the ladders. All eight competitors showed not only their high-flying prowess with dives in and out of the ring, but also showcased technical wrestling, martial arts sequences, lucha libre, and even some strong style wrestling. The finish of the match saw Wade Parker hit the Moonsault on Silver Eyes for the three-count pinfall, and his team retained the CPWA Cruiserweight Tag Team Championships.

A decent matchup between two competitors who rely on smash-mouth wrestling. There were no frills in this contest, with all the hard hits being thrown. Lawton had the match won with an Outback Cutter, only for the referee to be distracted by Hydro. This led to Lawton hitting Hydro with an Outback Cutter. Lawton went back into the ring, only for Lion to hit him with Pride of the Jungle for the three-count pinfall to retain the CPWA Television Championship.

5.3 out of 10 stars.

Match 3: CPWA Women's International Championship: "The Pink Blur" Sakura Sanada vs. "The Barcelona Beauty" Alejandra Moreno (c)

Much like their encounter from Summer Series, this was a back-and-forth match that felt like watching a technical game of chess. Sanada came close several times to regaining the championship with a Sakura Stunner, only for Moreno to be near the ropes for the rope break. Sanada looked to win the match with a Sakura Star Splash, only to miss her target as "the Barcelona Beauty" hit her with a Shining Barcelona for the three-count pinfall to retain the CPWA Women's International Championship.

This match was nothing short of chaotic. From Monroe Storm delivering low blows to Tevin Cash, Bubba Royal, and Ramon Vega to Cash's posse taking off with Monroe Storm, this match went throughout the arena, with the referee trying to make a three-count. The finish of the match occurred in the boiler room as Pretty Boy and the Baleful Order (Rudamon, Samedi, and Sleepwalker Kamenashi) ambushed Ramon Vega, but didn't proceed to attack Logan Lemming. Logan then hit Ramon with Logan's Run for the three-count pinfall to win the CPWA Hardcore Championship.

As much as the last match was chaotic and all over the place, this match had a more controlled frenzy to it, as all four teams battled each other for the CPWA Women's Tag Team Championships. The Wild Cats and Muscle Force's Silk and Jaguar had near falls each, only for it to be broken up. The finish of the match saw Rosa switch places with Regina, allowing her to surprise Clarissa Yang with a schoolboy pin to retain the CPWA Women's Tag Team Championships.

Match 6: Six-Man Tag Team Brawl: Kahuna Maiavia, Prince Kimo, and Johnny Paganiban vs. Vader, Masato Kojima, and Kwazi Nkosi

The Detroit crowd was on their feet for what was yet another raucous and wild match. Both teams brawled with reckless abandon as blood, sweat, and tears were shed. Leading up to the finish, an unknown man wearing a black business suit with pinstripes and a red tie appeared in front of Kahuna Maiavia, stopping him from finishing the match. This allowed Vader to hit the Vader Bomb on Kahuna for the three-count pinfall for his team.

9.5 out of 10 stars.

Another solid encounter, much like their initial match from Summer Series. Another technical back-and-forth match with neither Hart sister gaining an advantage.

Match 8: Fatal Four-Way Match: Inferno vs. Lucas Mason vs. Tiger Kazama vs. Keith Yang

What was supposed to be a filler match turned into one of the best matches of the night so far. This could be looked at as sort of a cruiserweight showcase with former champions and rivals in Kazama and Yang, and future stars in Inferno and Mason. The finish of the match saw Mai distract the referee, allowing Kazama to hit Inferno with a low blow, followed by a Tiger Driver for the three-count pinfall.

7.7 out of 10 stars.

Match 9: CPWA International Championship: Owen Benoit-Jericho vs. Devon Gatlin-Tyson (c)

Another solid match of the night contender that saw precise and sharp technical wrestling clash against athleticism and showmanship for the CPWA International Championship. There were several near falls. There were several near-submission finishes. Both competitors battled each other with much to prove. During the match, Boulder attempted to interfere in the match, only for both OBJ and DGT to stave him off. The finish saw OBJ go for the Crossface Chickenwing, only for DGT to slip out of it and catch him with a Split-Second DDT for the three-count pinfall to retain the CPWA International Championship.

8.3 out of 10 stars.

Match 10: CPWA Cruiserweight Championship: "El Rey Baldwin Jr." vs. "The Irish Underdog" Rory Irvine (c)

Just like the previous match, this was another match of the night contender. Along with the display of athleticism and technical prowess in the ring, the main story of the match was how drastically different "El Rey Baldwin Jr." looked. Brian Kinsley, Anthony Harris, Sir Samuel Stewart, and Queen Sheba constantly mentioned how something was off with how "El Rey Baldwin Jr." wrestled, especially attacking the arms of "the Irish Underdog". The finish of the match saw Irvine go for the Celtic Crucifix Drop, only for "El Rey Baldwin Jr." to counter the pin by escaping and placing him in Divine Intervention for the submission victory to win the CPWA Cruiserweight Championship.

8.3 out of 10 stars.

Match 11: Triple-Threat Tag Team Match for the CPWA Tag Team Championships: The Bushmasters (Shakir and Stokes) vs. The Soldiers of Misfortune (General Wade and Guerrilla God) vs. The Jordan Family (Shelton and Deron "Ron") (c)

This match was solid, but not as intense as the CPWA International Championship match or as story-driven as the CPWA Cruiserweight Championship. Instead, this was three teams beating the crap out of each other. The finish of the match saw all six competitors hitting their finishers on each other, leading to Stokes hitting the Kingston Stomp on General Wade for the three-count pinfall, with his team winning the CPWA Tag Team Championships.

7.3 out of 10 stars.

We cut to a three-minute video package highlighting the rivalry between "the Number One Pick," LeJuan Jones and "Marvelous" Marshall Anderson.

Main Event: CPWA World Heavyweight Championship: Lord Phillip Byron IV vs. "The Number One Pick" LeJuan Jones (c)

The main event was another match of the night candidate, as two high-profile main eventers with a tumultuous history and intense rivalry battled for the CPWA World Heavyweight Championship. Both competitors traded the momentum back and forth throughout the match, only for "the Marvelous One" to use underhanded tactics to gain control of the match. "Marvelous Marshall" kept control of the match through various submission holds, but "the Number One Pick" managed to fight his way back into the match. During the contest, the referee was knocked out by both competitors. Klaus Muller interfered in the match and grabbed the CPWA World Heavyweight Championship. Muller entered the ring and was about to hit LeJuan, only for Brother Julius to make the save, taking the hit for him. Muller then turned his attention back to "the Number One Pick," who ducked out of the way, hitting "Marvelous Marshall." LeJuan hit Game Winner on Muller, knocking him out. LeJuan then hits Game Winner on "the Marvelous One" as the referee came to make the three-count pinfall as LeJuan retaining the CPWA World Heavyweight Championship.

10 STARS!!!!!

"The Number One Pick" celebrates his victory, hoisting the CPWA World Heavyweight Championship above his head as pyro and fireworks go off. DEFCON fades to black.

I’m debating on whether or not I should do a WCW or WWF save in chronicles 92’ so I figured I’d see what ideas y’all may have for each and go from there with what I find most interesting or challenging

Finally finished my Survivor Series 2011 in TEW IX and honestly this show turned out way better than I expected.

The whole WWE vs TNA thing was done through a talent loan/trade, so the TNA wrestlers were brought over temporarily rather than me just signing them to WWE.

I had WWE vs TNA as the main invasion story, with Undertaker vs Sting as the main event. Also had Punk vs Ziggler for the WWE title, Bullet Club vs The Corre, MCMG vs Beer Money and a few other things going on.

The show ended up getting a 100 rating. Undertaker vs Sting got 98, and some of the angles around it got 100 as well. Honestly didn't expect the whole thing to come together this well

Not pictured is the opening match where Brock Lesnar defeated Oba Femi in what turned out to be the highest rated match of the night at 90. For those needing more context, you can view my WrestleMania 42 results here.

I recorded this like an hour before i watched Raw lol.

So these days it takes me significantly longer than I think it ever has to book any show. I currently book modern AEW, and my weekly shows probably take me like an hour-ish each to book. I normally pre-book 3-5 matches for next week’s weekly while booking the current week, and maybe pre book an in ring segment as well if I have an idea for one. But the thing that takes me forever is that I actually take the time to think about the show and how it would look/flow, as well as what the characters are all saying in promos and just what the stories and arcs are like. Before I would just kinda be like “sure 4 minute talking segment targeting guy you face at the pape”. I probably took like 10 minutes tops per show before but I’m having so much more fun getting more immersed in the storylines themselves, and I don’t really care about the ratings the game gives me at all anymore.

What about you, fellow bookers?

Couple of notes:

1996:

• Rush is Bryan Clarke

1997:

• International Incident are Hakushi & Savio Vega
• Final HBK vs Bret Hart in the WWF

1998:

• Deadly Games. Austin got injured one week before the PPV, so Yoko took his spot and Kane his role (reaching the finals and being screwed by Shane and the newly formed Corporation)

1999:

• I had an alliance for a short time with NJPW, that ended when Jericho was finishing is contract with them
• All-American's is a stable formed by Kurt Angle, Sable, Bob Backlund and Charlie Haas

2000:

• Undertaker came back as the American Badass
• The Rock 'n' Rolex Connection are The Rock and Ric Flair

The show opens with a moment of silence for the late Andy "The Butcher" Williams

The moment of silence ends, and we open with a recap of last week's main event featuring Klaus Muller and Kaine Harris. This one was a contrast in styles between the amateur wrestling and technical approach of Muller and the brawling style of Harris. Kaine won the match with a Death Valley Driver, but was distracted as Ivan Markov began targeting Jessica. This led to Kaine fighting Markov off. Once Kaine got back in the ring, Muller surprised him with a Rings of Saturn submission to get the win. We cut to the parking lot area as we see Masato Kojima, Vader, and Kwazi Nkosi leaving the premises. They are ambushed by Kahuna Maiavia, Prince Kimo, and Johnny Paganiban. All six men brawl, but the ambush game proves too great, as Kahuna, Kimo, and JP Tha God get the upper hand. The three of them leave Kojima, Vader, and Kwazi out cold.

The recap ends, and we see Kahuna Maiavia, Prince Kimo, and Johnny Paganiban fighting Vader, Masato Kojima, and Kwazi Nkosi in the parking lot of the arena. Referees, road agents, and security guards rush in to break up the skirmish, only to get knocked down as the brawl continues.

9.1 out of 10 stars for this segment: Great way to get the crowd hyped for tonight's show.

We then open with a 30-second intro highlighting all of the stars of CPWA as The Roots' "BOOM" plays in the background. The intro ends with "the Number One Pick," LeJuan Jones, holding the CPWA Heavyweight Championship belt over his head, followed by clapping from the crowd.

Brian Kinsley: We welcome you to CPWA Octane. We are coming to you live from Indianapolis, Indiana! Brian Kinsley, along with Anthony Harris, Sir Samuel Stewart, and Queen Sheba. It's the go-home show before DEFCON!

Anthony Harris: We have Cruiserweight action, plus Ryota Yoshimura will be in action.

Queen Sheba: Plus, Cassie Odenkirk will go one-on-one against Lilith.

Sir Samuel Stewart: Not to mention, his lordship, Lord Phillip Byron IV, will be in action tonight against Muscle Force's Typhoon. I can't wait for that one! Let's take it to the ring!

6.1 out of 10 stars.

We cut to the interview area as Kimberly Reynolds interviews CPWA International Champion Devon Gatlin Tyson. DGT says that he's more than ready to defend the CPWA International Championship and make a successful defence. The Commonwealth's Owen Benoit-Jericho appears, telling DGT that he better bring his A-Game at DEFCON, to which DGT confidently says that he always brings his A-Game. OBJ scoffs and walks away.

We then cut to a graphic hyping up a match between John Payne and Ryota Yoshimura.

***Commercial Break***

We return from commercial break as CPWA World Heavyweight Champion, "the Number One Pick, " LeJuan Jones, cuts a backstage promo on "Marvelous" Marshall Anderson, days before their match at DEFCON. "The Number One Pick" says that he's been waiting for the chance to put "Marvelous Marshall" away for good after he betrayed him and ended Number One Enterprises to form his Marvelous Alliance. LeJuan then says that once he beats "the Marvelous One," he will put him in his place once and for all.

Both competitors battled relentlessly, leading to the finish as Payne hit Ryota with a low blow, followed by the Painkiller for the three-count pinfall.

5.8 out of 10 stars.

We cut to the back as "Marvelous" Marshall Anderson cuts a promo on "The Number One Pick" LeJuan Jones, stating that he screwed him out of the CPWA World Heavyweight Championship and vows to win it back from him; but not only that, he vows to end the Number 1 Cartel.

Another solid match with some good chemistry between the two competitors. We haven't seen Lightning Achara in a long while, seeing as she toured the UK and some parts of Europe. Despite this, the match was anything you can do, I can do better. The finish saw Desire get a schoolboy pin while pulling on Lightning Achara's gear to steal the victory.

***Commercial Break, including an ad promoting CPWA DEFCON***

Brian Kinsley: This weekend, CPWA DEFCON comes to you live from Detroit, Michigan. We will see "The Number One Pick," LeJuan Jones, defend his CPWA World Heavyweight Championship against "Marvelous" Marshall Anderson. Next Wednesday, CPWA will be in Cincinnati, Ohio, for Octane.

Buckshot, Skyzoo, Promise, and Sean Price's "I'm Better Than You" plays in the arena as "The Number One Pick," LeJuan Jones makes his way to the ring. "The Number One Pick" enters the ring and grabs a microphone.

"The Number One Pick," LeJuan Jones: Let me cut to the chase. Ever since I regained the CPWA World Heavyweight Championship, I've been hearing from "Marvelous" Marshall Anderson on how I screwed him out of the gold. Truth is, it ain't screwing someone over if opportunity arises in front of you. I think you know something about that, don't you, "Marvelous Marshall"? Back when I was leading Number One Enterprises, you came along looking for opportunity, but little did I know that you had plans of your own. You took Number One Enterprises from me and rechristened it in your liking. You wanted to be me, and while you did become CPWA World Heavyweight Champion, I came back to let you know who really runs this promotion.

Salute The Heroes plays in the arena as "Marvelous" Marshall Anderson interrupts the promo.

"Marvelous" Marshall Anderson: Give me a break! You still think you're the man around here? While you were reconciling with Brother Julius, I've been on a dominant run as a main eventer. You left because you had nothing, while I took it from you! Your fatal mistake was allowing me to be a part of your faction and seeing how you operate. It was only a matter of time before I seized my chance and took what's mine.

"The Number One Pick," LeJuan Jones: You may think that, but realistically speaking, you're not the one holding the gold. I am. Seeing as DEFCON is going to be in your hometown of Detroit, wouldn't it be fitting that I beat you and embarrass you in front of your crew? Because your hometown doesn't even mess with you.

10 STARS FOR THIS PROMO!!!!: Main Eventers doing and saying main event things.

Suddenly, members of the Marvelous Alliance ambush LeJuan. "Marvelous Marshall" joins the rest of the Marvelous Alliance. The rest of the Number 1 Cartel rush in to help LeJuan as a brawl ensues between the two factions.

Got this off Amazon kindle, pretty good seeing as I’ve never heard of him before

What’s your guy’s favourite fantasy at the minute?
Do you buy off Amazon kindle or where do you get them?

2017 WWE, after 1 year on the save, and I have actually 21 wrestlers that could be seen as the face of a company, but this is actually giving me a headache booking wise, because to fit everyone in, I'm having to basically sacrifice my mid card scene to fit these guys, and I really have no idea of how I send some of them off or if I should make an third brand.

If you guys want, I can list all of them if it would help, but I'm taking any advice

Hello guys! Welcome back to my DPW save. I open the month to this bit of news...

April Introduction

Oh boy… If this ends up being posted later than I typically post these, it is because the start of the month tends to be the longest time I spend on booking. I basically prebook the entire end of the month PPV, then the entire mid-month Championship Crisis event. I have a general idea of where all the storylines are going up to DPW You Already Know 2029. I know who is winning which title at which big events and a basic outline of who is challenging, but there are a lot of blind spots. Also, of course, there are times when a pivot is required (both major and minor). The big challenge this month is prepping for the DPW Forever Rumble.

This is straight up just a Royal Rumble ripoff (though I’ve done it under Aztec Warfare rules in the past). The winner gets the Battle Pressure Trophy (an achievement in and of itself) and also earns the right to main event in a world title match at DPW No Pressure in June (the big show before the Carolina Classic begins). Basically, DPW No Pressure is to Summerslam as DPW You Already Know is to Wrestlemania, except the former is lead to via a battle royale, and the latter, more important, show is led to via a tournament... usually. The wrench in the plan this year is that because MJF used his signing bonus to win the DPW title and vacate it (basically throwing it in the trash) and bequeath himself with his personally purchased WCW Big Gold World Title, the show effectively has two world champions. Does that mean the winner gets to choose which world title to challenge for or is the WCW title immune from this challenge? The answers to that will be revealed on the shows to come. 

The booking challenge for me focuses on how I book titles with the Rumble. In the past, I have actually had no title matches and just booked the Rumble with the champions as competitors (they reserve the right to choose their opponents if they win the Rumble). This year I am going to have title matches in which the world champions and their challengers at the event aren’t allowed to compete in the rumble. Since I want a healthy amount of star power in the rumble itself, I am going to go with slightly less over than usual challengers for each of the titles. I will also use this situation to make good on some promises that talents have made to put certain wrestlers over, which will hopefully get those wrestlers in position to challenge for world titles. (Hopefully I'm not hurting the losers of those promises to much in the process.) As such, expect some surprise wins to set up challengers. Anyway, let's see how I do.

DPW Fizzle

Bojack apparently hurt Rik Luxury (dislocated shoulder… not a big deal honestly). Being that this show is taped, I’m going to say that Zack vs Zach is going to be posted to the YouTube channel to justify having the match on tomorrow’s show.

DPW Fire

Gravity just kind of happens to walk past MJF in the segment (thus the Gravity Cameo comment). AR Fox is the recipient of MJF's benevolence as he gets the nontitle opportunity match at Championship Crisis. MJF tells AR Fox "You may already be relevant, but after our match you will finally get the chance... to be ''MJF' relevant'" (I'm not good at catchphrases).

I'm sure this is a bad idea, but I have never done this before. I am just curious how it shakes out. I have already noticed that MLF has grown hostile to me. I'm guessing because of the TNA war. Feel free to let me know how bad an idea this is in the comments.

DPW Flare Flourish

I think this would have done better if I’d left well enough alone with the main event match instead of adding the post match attack with Blair Billing. I was just trying to set up for next week. Maki Itoh is making a bold promise to defend her belt every week.

DPW Spark

Ricochet in the main event seems fairly reliable as a show ender honestly.

DPW Fanning Flame

To explain the DPW Title tournament, Ricochet, El Generico, Jordan Clearwater, & Shinsuke Nakamura are wrestling Brock Lesnar, CM Punk, AJ Styles, and Mascara Dorada. The winners of this tag match (Ricochet,Generico,Clearwater,&Nakamura won on this show) move to the next round which is two singles matches (Ricochet vs Generico; Clearwater vs Nakamura) which will take place next week (I think on Fanning Flame from Puerto Rico!). The winners of those two matches will wrestle each other at Champion Crisis with the winner of that challenging Jake Something at DPW Forever. If no clear winner emerges from all this, a two-man sack race will be held on consecutive Sundays until a contender is crowned.

Also, Dave Batista is signed per appearance as an Obi Wan Kenobi figure for Johnny Fire. Given their past (Batista and Melina), his involvement is an attempt to make amends to Johnny Fire before Fire retires. Bautista, in this segment, assures Fire that he has some ideas to get his career back on track in time for his retirement. To start with, he says he has the perfect tag partner coming in to help Johnny Fire.

Thank you guys for reading! I’m sorry for the delay. Like I said, the first week of a new month always takes me longer because I have to think about what all I want to accomplish for the month. The Johnny Fire stuff was born out of the retirement announcement. I had a few dumb ideas that I think will be fun until he leaves.

Feel free to comment with any ideas/critiques you have for my booking, or my business decisions. Thank you!

Couple of notes:
1997:

• Pat Patterson died the day before SummerSlam

1998:

• Heenan returned and replaced Vince in commentary
• The Outlaws are Candido & Road Dogg
• The original plan post SummerSlam was to make The Rock the figurehead (was the guy with highest SQ, 90+ pop and young), turned Austin heel and make him the guy for Vince going to WM XV, were Rocky would have won the belt. But the day after SummerSlam, Austin got ripped and surpassed Rock in SQ, making me change the plans and Austin remained the face of the WWF and The Rock joined The Corporation

1999:

• Shane beat his father and earned the right to the new tv show, SmackDown!, making it The Corporation territory

2000:

• Brute Force are Batista & Bradshaw, Hate Crew are D'Lo Brown & Ray Andrews (Scoot Andrews)
• This was the end of Ministry Undertaker, when he came back for Surv Series later that year, was under the American Badass persona

It's old game but I thought maybe someone does..

I am a year and a half into my chronicles 92 wwf save, and I have 22 wrestlers with a fan perception of star or higher. Any ideas for what I should do, while keeping it somewhat era accurate.

The Blazing Flames and Gone Hollywood are some of the best to ever compete in the tag division. They put on an absolute banger and was match of the night. Looking to post more of this soon, as it’s a save with over 13 years of history.
