Cuban Linx 0 Report post Posted September 29, 2004 Looks as though the Candido/Styles, Candido/Daniels and Dusty/Ian v Stone/Candido matches could be in trouble, seeing as it seems Candido's been signed by the WWE. The WWE could let him finsh the dates he's already booked for though so nothing's certain. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

King Cucaracha 0 Report post Posted September 30, 2004 Wow...that's four big shows in four days from the 20th. Rough workload. That Strong Style Tournament is going to leave a mark on certain people too. I find it hard to picture Joe vs. Abyss, but it should be interesting at least. In fact, the 21st looks an interesting show overall. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Aecas Report post Posted September 30, 2004 I've seen Super Dragon on tape before, he's not bad by any means, but I just don't understand all the love he gets. Especially at the TPI show, Its because he's a half decent head dropping maniac and they like the Psycho Driver would be my guess. Hell I like the Psycho Driver too so eh, I'll mark for him just for that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
