I'll take one of the 3rd match slots for my first wrestler. My second wrestler will be tag teaming with Wizzie's guy in the 4th match, assuming he's cool with that.

Loonmotor Declares Moral Victory... Again No, we're not sure why or how, but does it even matter at this point? If Bradley Dagnall fell down the stairs, Loonmotor would declare it a moral victory for the strength of their staircase or something. In other news on this slow news day, I need a raise.

It is too early to say that the King has been dethroned by his offspring? Kyle Petty has been doing work this season! Watching Kyle Petty in the 92/93 seasons sold me on the idea that he was actually a pretty talented racer in his day - his problem was that he didn't always take it seriously. But i...

Could I jump in and take Richard Childress Racing please? Childress is yours!
