Notes from Les Thatcher indicate Christian Cage was used too much, which is rather curious. He got jobbed, beat up, then he went home??

Thoughts: A short show, that was a little bumpy. I expect the ratings to be low for a bit as many in this area are not familiar with most of the young Guys and the Veterans are mostly Guys from the old Southern and Midwestern territories.

Good idea on Copeland Danny, he will make a good edition to the down Boys stable. I will have to pursue him.
