JOHNNY B SAYS
Congratulations to manager Tim Pollino for coaching Agent 26 to such an impressive performance this cycle! His grappler has had great success competing in our many contests over the years, but the World title has eluded him until now.
Manager John McManus is deserving of kudos, as well. His athlete, Ricky "Wolfie" King, has been making quite a name for himself under John's watchful eye. Not only is he the reigning Barbed-Wire 2x4 Champion -- an honor he claimed at last year's Imagimania -- but he also came out on top at the most recent Rookie Brawl!
Both players have something in common in addition to winning gold in our contests and during the major play-offs this cycle: each manages only one wrestler in the entire game!
Regardless of the size of your roster, make sure all your ring warriors have the correct stable initials listed, because Stablecade is right around the corner!
