Signed Trading Cards: Tommy Rich, Tully Blanchard, Roppongi Vice

In this post we take a look at a couple through the mail success and two that my pal Roy got signed for me. 


Tommy "Wildfire" Rich

I mailed these cards to Tommy's new wrestling school and got them back in short time.  Both of these cards were released in 1991 the one on the left by Impel and right Championship Marketing. 


Tully Blanchard

I mailed these three cards above to Mr. Blanchard because I found a new address for him and even though I already had cards signed by him I wanted more.  Tully is one of my all time favorite wrestlers and why not add more to me collection.  All three of these cards were released by Wonderama in 1988.  Below the card on the left is from the same 1988 Wonderama set and the card on the right is from the 2007 Topps Heritage III set.  This card is signed by both Arn Anderson & Tully Blanchard and I got it signed at the 2009 NWA Legends Fanfest in Charlotte, North Carolina.



Trent Beretta

This card my pal Roy got signed for me at a Beyond Wrestling event.  The card is from the Japanese 2016 King of Pro Wrestling set. 


Rocky Romero

Roy also got this card signed for me at the same Beyond Wrestling show as Trent and Rocky were tagging at Roppongi Vice. This card is from the Japanese 2015 King of Pro Wrestling card set.

Roy's Review: NXT Lowell 9/21/2017


Here is my review of NXT in Lowell, Massachusetts on September 21, 2017

Match 1: The Street Profits: Angelo Dawkins & Montez Ford defeated Riddick Moss & Tino Sabbatelli
About as basic of a tag team match they could have possibly had. Not the way I would have opened the show.
5/10

Match 2: Lars Sullivan defeated Oney Lorcan
This was a 3 minute squash but Oney did get in a little bit of offense before he got annihilated. Great ovation for Lorcan before and after the match.
4.5/10

Match 3: The Iconic Duo: Billie Kay & Peyton Royce defeated Dakota Kai and Liv Morgan
Again another basic tag team match. This time I didn't really care.
4/10

Match 4: Roderick Strong defeated Hideo Itami
Solid match but not nearly as good as I would have expected. Roddy hit a couple sick backbreakers.
6/10

Match 5: The Undisputed Era: Adam Cole, Bobby Fish & Kyle O'Reilly fought Sanity: Eric Young, Alexander Wolfe & Killian Dain to a no contest
This was a good match until the awful ending. Fish and O'Reilly were double teaming Dain when the referee called for the bell. It seemed that it was a DQ but it was ruled a No Contest which made no sense.
6/10

Match 6: Johnny Gargano defeated Raul Mendoza
Awesome match. These guys really put on a show and it really stood out on a show that was full of average at best wrestling. Mendoza even hit a coast to coast which was pretty sweet. Match of the night by about 10 miles.
9/10

Match 7: Kiri Sane defeated Sonya Deville
Solid match with both impressing just the match had to many awkward spots. In the end Sane got the win with her sick top rope elbow.
6/10

Match 8: NXT Champion Drew McIntyre defeated Andrade Almas to retain
This was your typical WWE house show main event. They did just enough to get by and nothing really more.
5.75/10

In Ring: After the main event, The Undisputed Era came out and attacked Drew Mcintyre. Johnny Gargano, Oney Lorcan and The Street Profits tried to make the save but they got beat down too, until Sanity came out and chased off Fish and O'Reilly leaving Cole to get wrecked by everyone in the ring.

This show scored a 46.25 out of 80 for an overall score of 57.81%. After the first match was so average and basic, this show just became a typical WWE house show, except for Gargano vs. Mendoza, that was pretty awesome. If NXT comes back to New England again I won't be in attendance. I was really disappointed with this show.
