March 9, 20187 yr Author comment_5835070 By the way, I'm looking to have more than one non-tournament match by night. I'd like to have 2 for Night 1, 3 for Night 2 and 3 for Night 3 and I'd like to have every promotion represented for the occasion. So, feel free to pitch any match you'd like to have featured, title match or not.
