Kevin, “Marc, we held those titles for a long time. Kerry is the American Champion and I still want to get at Adams and Hernandez, but those six man tiles belong to us, and we want another shot at it.”
Lowrance, “There will be a six man title match on the upcoming show at Tarrant County on January 27. We know that ‘Devastation Incorporated’ is involved in a feud with the Canadian team, but maybe the Von Erichs are now in the equation. Stay tuned.”
