Sting got the drop on Muta once, but couldn't do it twice.  Long live Muta.

The 7th was a bad night for people showing up.  Freak snow storm? :)

it was a freak something.  ;)  

And as for Muta vs Sting, I'm just building for the next TV show which is a rematch for the NWA World Television Title between them.

I like how everyone on the forums has their 80's favorites, and somehow, I've worked most of them in there... including my own personal whipping boy, Brad Armstrong.  ;)
