Card overview:

After an absence that lasted too long for my taste (see help section for why), the PWW is back.

Animal & Hawk proved tonight why they are arguably the best tag team in the history of the business by surviving 4 rounds of intense competition (they had round 2 off).

Up next will be the PWW Cruiserweight Title Tournament on July 17. The participants will be announced on this post shortly.

Remember: Keep those comments coming.

Good golly miss molly, there were some odd negative star matches there. Such as...

Terry Gordy & Steve Williams defeated Dustin Rhodes & Barry Windham when Williams pinned Rhodes with the Oklahoma Stampede in 1:51.
Rating: -*

I think you'd be justified in raising a lot of guys workrates and such. The worst in the above match is, I guess, Rhodes, and he's a very competent worker. Just out of interest, what are the workrate values that you have for Gordy and Williams?

As for the tourny, Road Warriors win, I don't think anyone will be too shocked by that, but they make excellent tag champs so I don't think anyone will be complaining either.

I think the Gordy/Williams vs Rhodes/Windham match got a negative rating due to the length. I think given more time these 2 teams would have brought the house down.
