CWA American Heavyweight Title

Game Notes
--Interesting mail in the box today. Among other things, Ric Flair has chosen to relocate and reside in…..Alberta, Canada???

--Jerry Blackwell and Sheik Adnan Al-Kaissey have been getting along very well. Thus, the origin of the horrible Sheik Ayatollah Blackwell, I suppose? **face palm** Never was a fan of that.
