I enjoy the house show reports, short and to the point.  The varying results is cool and the house show matches to build chemistry between the wrestlers is definitely cool.  Poor Dusty though, the Bionic Elbowdrop is no match to The Total Package!

thanks. It's not easy keeping all of this straight. You should see my booking notes. :) I have the entire week's house show schedule on one page. Talk about a mess.

Also, you'll note it's pretty obvious which feuds are booked and which are being randomly selected by TNM.  This circuit may actually have better legs than I thought when I first started it.  It's really starting to grow on me.  And I don't have to give away every big match on every TV show which is kinda nice for a change.
