JOHNNY B SAYS
As promised, Stablecade is back! Each member of the winning group will earn a $100,000 payday. Does your stable have what it takes to claim this year's prize money?
Look inside your envelope for an entry form, download the digital version from the Results page at PlayIWA.com, or send us an email containing the necessary info, but make sure we receive it with your matches for the upcoming March cycle, which begins on the 2nd!
Don't forget: groups must enter at least five wrestlers to qualify for the contest. If your grappler is more of a loner, they can temporarily team up with others who also have no use for stable initials, proudly representing the "Free agents" group.
Oh, and another sign-up sheet is headed your way... the one for the Unknown Wrestler League! Watch for it!
