Show Thoughts
Two B rated shows in a row, but both have slightly hurt me in the areas I'm running in I need to step it up to stay ahead of the WWF.
I started a series w/ Harlem Heat & Benoit/Malenko to go along with my current one of Hogan/Sting and Nash/DDP. Also started a small Hart/Savage storyline and began a Bagwell/Luger one as well. Final storyline that was started was one w/ Goldberg/Hennig that was started with Piper and The Nasty Boys to pick up steam next week.
