It was with deep sorrow that I learned of our friend and colleague Frank Coutinho’s passing on December 23rd, 2021. Frank had an extensive knowledge of professional wrestling’s illustrious history. Those of you who were familiar with the old Tabletop-Sports forum will no doubt recall his Ultra Quick Wrestling topic which included his match results from various eras and territories. In tribute to Frank, I will re-post some of his match results here. We miss you, Frank !

Frenchy used a small lead pipe hidden in his fist to attack Jack during the pre-match costing a fair number of points to Jack’s total. The early match was all Frenchy as he used moves like Grinding Face to Mat and Choking on the Guard Rail OOR. Jack took control after re-entering the ring using a Skullcrusher that pretty much put Frenchy away. Brisco then used his dreaded Figure Four. 5:41
3. Dino Bravo and Steve Gatorwolf; Double Count-Out. Steve used a Wardance and Hand Chops to confuse Dino who threw Steve OOR in desperation. Once OOR Dino slammed Gatorwolf through the Press Table. Dino, with a much rougher style, saw Rick McGraw at the commentator’s table and asked him; “You want some of this?” McGraw answered; “Anytime, Punk!!” As Gatorwolf lay on the floor KO’d, Dino got into a shoving match with McGraw.

7. Junkyard Dog; Thump Powerslam over The Assassin. The Assassin taking a page out of Frenchy Martin and the Moondogs’s book attacked before the match using a Brutal Chairshot to gain and edge.
