Always loved George South - a real no-nonsense veteran who was a reliable hand in both WCW and WWF/E, as well as in the underrated PWF promotion. Happy Birthday, George!

Happy Birthday fine-ass Molly Holly.
And what was the story with Davey Boy giving Al Snow the Hardcore Title. I remember Snow fueding with Bossman, but don't remember if this was part of that or not.
