1. The Nightmares (Danny Davis & Ken Wayne) defeat The Latin Lovers (Javier Cruz & Vinnie Valentino)

2. Tom Pritchard defeats Josh Stroud

3. Bobby Eaton defeats Art Crews.

4. Southeastern Tag Team Champions The Assassins with Paul Jones defeated Ricky Gibson & Tim Horner.

5. Jimmy Golden & Robert Fuller defeat Larry Hamilton & Johnny Rich.

6. "Dirty" Dutch Mantell defeated Southeastern Heavyweight Champion "Bullet" Bob Armstrong.

I'd much rather see your show but Donovan vs. Gibson on the real show sounds awesome

I have to pick the real show but only for the main event because heel Bob Armstrong is perhaps the greatest thing ever.

That's a tough one for me but I'm going to go with your show by a hair.

Wow, another close one. Unfortunately I have to choose real life just because of personal preference, but again just by a hair. I wonder how the real life Dory Funk vs Mike Rotundo match compared to the classic match Smelzer reviewed?

I thought Ricky Steamboat wasn't allowed to wrestle that total scrub no one has ever heard of?

lol I missed that one. Dark match?

Lol. My results were original version..
