. You have so many great teams here though, that a tag fan such as myself doesn't ever get down. I like the Davidson's, Long Riders they ain't, but they're good hands. Was never a fan of Strongbow, though he was over huge in the area. Big win for he and Mantell tonight though, hopefully Johnny will see that even though they got a win tonight, if he thinks real hard about the Sportatorium he will realize it might be in his best interest to find a new partner.
