FINAL SHOW RATING – D
This show can be considered a success. It should have increased our popularity.

THOUGHTS

I guess a D rating isn't too bad for the southwest region. I'm going to try to expand my TV show to the southwest as well when I am allowed to negotiate. Savage and Oliver were my only two expensive workers, and they are on written contracts so it didn't matter.

The Savage/Sheik title match didn't get over so well. Savage is a big legend in the northwest; I should have held off his title win until my next show. Sheik is about to move on to other things closer to the midcard where he belongs.

Billy Jack Haynes wins a TV title shot (probably in 2 weeks). His segments continue to not do well. I'll have to give him some promo time in the Northwest; he has good entertainment ratings. Before it was a no-brainer that he would be my TV champion, now I don't know.

Magnum TA has his debut; it goes OK. I need to get some good workers on the undercard.
