Over in the Wade Keller Zone VIP Member Blitzkrieg had an excellent suggestion for TNA as they attempt to capitalize on Tommy Dreamer and EV 2.0's nostalgic triumph at the Hardcore Justice pay-per-view. He proposed that TNA book and promote a WCW reunion, which makes sense seeing as millions more wrestling fans followed WCW than ever watched ECW.

In that same vein, I have my own suggestion, with my own suggested ground rules - TNA cannot used any WWE trademarks or performers, and the performers involved must be able to live up to the athletic standard Tommy Dreamer and EV2.0 set when they raised the bar Sunday night.

Hell, not only will I propose the card, I'll even book the important matches in the old Mid Atlantic Championship wrestling tradition, the same way Tommy Dreamer booked Sunday matches with that old Extreme Championship Wrestling verve.

Since Middle Atlantic titles cannot be won by disqualification the champions remain Cowboy Ron Bass & Black Bart.

For the Middle Atlantic Championship: Krusher Kruschev (50) defends against Terry Taylor (54). Terry Taylor apparently wins the prestigious championship when Taylor rolls up Kruschev for the pin, but it turned out that previously referee Tommy Young had been thrown from the ring then a frustrated Kruschev had hurled Tayler over the
