Vacated had a lot of success this day

Shame Jake never won a world title he would have done some great business.

The U.S. Express were the only time that Rotunda convinced me as a face. Liked that team.

Jake was too unreliable to hold the big belts, so was Piper and Curt Hennig......fans really need to know that.....Cocaine is a helluva drug.
