Not sure about three overseas wrestlers. Cassio born South Africa, Vassilios Mantopolous Greek, but who else? LaRue certainly wasn't South African and Tani as Far East as the East End. As for Willi Van Meergen I've never heard of him but I wouldn't bet money on it.
The top bill is the bill at the TOP. I have no inclination to try and work out what they were up to, however I expect that someone would lose to someone else, or draw with someone else, leading to someone else winning on a count-back! I’d just be happy to watch the matches. Smut Smith, unless he’s a South African that’s a shocker of a moniker?!
