HALL OF FAME INDUCTEES

Marc Phaneuf of Rhode Island announces the retirement of GDL grappler "Bodacious" Brenda Siwy (pronounced see-wee). Her final stats are 1,019-363-55, with $2,396,100 in earnings and 24 stars. Brenda has always had an identity crisis. She/he has wrestled under many different monikers since debuting in the DZL as Nurse Splint in early 1998. Other personas included Big Jilm and Thaddeus "Spudz" Siwy. No matter the character, Brenda and company will be remembered for having a great sense of humor, and for the catch phrase "DANG!"

Also entering our Hall of Fame this cycle is "Palm Beach Heartbreaker" Chris Storm from the MRL. Ronnie Wagoner of North Carolina managed him to a record of 1,001-177-27 and a bank account of $1,217,300. Chris had to end his career due to an automobile accident which left him unable to compete. He would like to wish everyone in the MRL continued success, and says that it has been an absolute honor to compete in that league for the last few years.

Six engraved plaques will soon go out to Brian Kitcher of Florida, since he is retiring six ACE members! The NDL was home to "The Mutilator" Allan Ginsberg (1,037-107-34, $4,194,300), the Executioner (1,063-134-28, $3,727,800), and "The Bounty Hunter" Brian Kitcher (1,048-86-28, $5,008,100). The JIL must say goodbye to "The King of Handcuffs" Ehrich Weiss (1,004-143-32, $2,493,600), "The Mindfreak" Criss Angel (1,000-91-18, $4,084,900), and Warcraft (1,037-103-22, $3,930,800). We hereby congratulate Brian on a job well done!
