- Don't forget, tonight at the Court Time Sports Center in Elizabeth, PA I will be defending the ICW/ICWA Texarkana TV Title against Larry Sweeney, Delirious and Ruckus in a four-way.

Jerry Lynn, who is our guest on Figure Four Daily this afternoon, is also in the eight-man tournament. Should be a good time!
