-Notes:  Official Ben Simon Concession Count(tm):  Water and a Pepsi.  This show was scheduled to take place last Saturday at Delmar Hall but the snowstorm led to it being moved to this night with a slight venue change (The Pageant & Delmar Hall are literally next door to each other).  (CHWA also cancelled due to the snowstsorm.)  My first time seeing the Thoroughbreds(though I recognized theire individual names)...nice of them to have their names on their gear.  The whole show is worth a watch (on Highspots, I believe) but go out of your way to watch the Tag Title match...just a humble recommendation.
