Why name the tournament so... "preschooly"? Why not call it the much more appropriate No Holds Barred and namedrop the title.

Battle of the Tough Guys sounds like a kiddy place holder name. Why not something like Battle of the Titans or Battle of the Brutes. No Holds Barred also makes more sense.

I think the were trying to invoke "Battle of the Network Stars" which was still a fairly popular TV event in 1989.
