March Month in Review
--Buzz Sawyer had quite the month, putting on three of the top four matches in March, defeating Bill Dundee and teaming with Savage to take on Lawler and JYD. Both rated at B+, 88. He could be the favorite heading into next month’s King of Kings event.
–I couldn’t turn down the opportunity forming the Midnight Express with Jim Cornette, though Condrey and Norvell were original members IRL, along with Randy Rose. They had the highest rated match of any regular tag team so far in 1983 when they fought Steamboat and Morton. No doubt that having Steamboat in that match helped.
--Jerry Lawler continues to be solid, giving consistently great promos and adding heat to storylines, though his highest rated matches in 1983 have been in tag team matches.
--Wendell Cooley continues with the Mid-America title. He has averaged in the B-, C+ range in his title defenses and has added prestige to the title. His injuries at WrestleBowl at the hands of Bundy and Rude will be exploited by the First Family.
--Steve Williams is still a valuable member of the roster but is a very negative influence on the locker room. He is skating on thin ice.
--Angelo Poffo has been moved from managing Randy Savage to being a personality. This is mainly for storyline purposes but Poffo is a positive influence backstage. As long as Savage is in the promotion, Poffo stays.
Best matches of the month
--Buzz Sawyer def. Bill Dundee on the Monday Night Tour rated a B+, 88.
--Jerry Lawler and Junkyard Dog drew with Sawyer and Randy Savage on the Monday Night Tour. It also rated an 88. This match also rated as the highest tag team match of the month.
Finances
--We continue our string of great gates with great attendance. We have $1,022,352 in the bank with a $494,892 profit in March. We are the sixth richest company in America, up one spot since March 1. World Class has the most money, just under $2,000,000.
