-NOTES:  In Real Life(tm) stuff, my finances haven't been the best in recent weeks, something which nearly left me at home this evening.  While I appreciate the promotions who offer to comp me in to shows, I'd feel weird about not paying me way at a show that's a fundraiser(as this one was).  Official Ben Simon Concession Count(tm):  Two Mountain Dews and a Pepsi.  All things considered, I'm glad I had enough cash left over for beverages in the first place.  It was a hot and humid night and my shirt was soaked with sweat by the end of it; I can only imagine how it was for the wrestlers.  MMWA had an eventful night themselves as the Dog Pound now holds all the gold; Johnathan Zulu & Andrew Wilder were already Tag Team Champoins going into the night, but Jared Meyer defeated Remy George for the Jr. Heavyweight Title and Zulu scored a shocking victory over Playboy Double H to capture the Heavyweight Championship.  Next weekend's plan is Dynamo Pro Wrestling in Bernhart, MO, with NWA World League Wrestling having their monthly offering in Troy, Missouri that evening.

As always, good night, good luck, and #yaywrestling.
