Smoky Mountain Wrestling RETURNS!

JoshEnglemanPosted on 08/04/05 at 02:39:54

Smoky Mountain Wrestling is coming back from the dead. I'll be doing a circuit using the TNM-RG rules. I find that I can stay interested in them more than anything else.

The three titles are:

SMW Heavyweight Title
SMW Tag Team Titles
SMW Beat the Champ Title

The roster of SMW is as follows:

Masato Tanaka
William Regal
Matt Hardy
Mordecai
World's Greatest Tag Team (Shelton Benjamin/Charlie Haas)

Cards are coming shortly...

SMW... interesting choice for a TNM-RG circuit.  Then again, this rules set does make it a lot easier for an 80's style indy.
