-NOTES:  Great crowd as usual and several famliar faces got spots on the pre-show.  SLA is a good place to get noticed as one of this area's most visible independent companies.  I still haven't gotten the name of the blond official who started a few shows ago and now we know why he came on board (as a heel official aligned with Fitchett).  I've been wondering if the time is right for STL Anarchy to finally introduce Tag Team Titles; are there enough regular teams for it?  The final Lethal Wrestling Alliance Tag Champs were the Hooligans(Devin/Itchy & Mason Cutter) and I'm sure the brothers would once again be in the mix if tag gold became a thing here.  It'll already be a busy weekend in the wrestling world with AEW All Out as well as WWE/AAA Worlds Collide; on the local front, several area promotions have shows tomorrow night:  Illinois Elite Wrestling in Granite City, IL; SICW in Columbia, IL; and MMWA in south St. Louis, MO.  Take your pick, plenty of talented people out there who can put on an entertaining show!

Good night, good luck, and #yaywrestling.
