Interesting match announced by USA Pro

[LucharesuFan619]

Meltzer's reporting that USA Pro has booked Sabu & Jimmy Snuka (the original...I think...he has a son that wrestles, ya know, but he has a Jr. added to his name) vs. IMO one of the world's top 5 tag teams, Mexico's Most Wanted/La Familia de Tijuana (Damien 666 & Halloween). Talk about an interesting combo. Damien and Sabu had a really intense rivalry in various Mexican indy feds a couple of years ago, with Sabu defending the XPW world title against him several times and wrestling him in non-title singles and tag team matches. I don't know, though, if Snuka - of all people - can keep up with a guy like Sabu, or even Damien and Halloween, since they're incredibly agile for both their size and age. If I remember, Snuka took some great bumps in WWE for 3 Min. Warning, but still...it appears to be a very interesting/even kinda intriguing...yet still VERY awkward...pairing. The show, BTW, is on 2/14 in Bethpage, NY. I'm gonna try to go, since that's closer to me than where USA Pro used to run, before Elk's Lodge shut down.
