JOHNNY B SAYS
So far, every new wrestler who has won the Rookie Brawl this millennium has been female! Congratulations to manager Andrew McMillan on coaching Bonnie Banks to the top.
I'm also giving a shout-out to manager Jake Joyce for guiding Rey Converse to the Asian, Elite, Jade Federation, and World Championships! This isn't Rey's first rodeo: he won the Gold Federation honors in the Winter 2019 cycle while competing in the CWL.
In other news, our luxury tour buses have begun what's sure to be a fun-filled Canadian road trip. We'll have the results of Imagimania for you next cycle, so get pumped!
WORLD, U.S., KING OF THE RING
World Champion
TBABIT/RABBIT: "Dragonheart" Rey Converse (DXL)
Jake Joyce of Illinois; 501; $250,000 + 75 free matches or a real wrestling belt & 25 free matches, 10 free matches for DXL managers next cycle
"The Boys Are Back in Town" by Thin Lizzy blasts through the P.A. system as the entirety of TBABIT starts filing through the entrance curtain. Leading the pack are IWA World Champion "Dragonheart" Rey Converse and his manager, Jake Joyce. Both Rey and Jake roll into the ring as the rest of the TBABIT roster encircles it. They are each holding a Natty Light. Some have two. Joyce produces a mic from his jean-jacket pocket:
"You know, I know this is Rey's night and all, but I'm afraid that if I give him a live mic, he'll begin talking about certain parts of the human anatomy!"
The crowd laughs as Rey nods and shrugs.
"I'd like to say a few words on this momentous occasion. First and foremost, I can't go any further without paying tribute to my TBABIT brethren Tom Cottrill and Seth Brubaker, and our adopted brother Brad Norman. You boys are the reason I still play this game, and your insanely vast amount of knowledge and insight are why I -- I mean Rey -- is the World Champion today. I consider you three some of my best friends in the world, and you are, without a doubt, the best players in this game. AIN'T DAT DA TROOTH! I'd take you all out for a beer at Pat's in the Flats, but it's about 400 miles from Chicago and no longer exists because it was falling apart and possibly had lead in the water.
"Secondly, I would be remiss if I failed to mention my humble beginnings in the IWAR Network. Although I haven't been involved in those leagues for a number of years, I wouldn't be the player I am today without it. Those were some of my best times in the IWA. And last, but certainly not least, I would like to thank my beautiful wife Danielle: Thank you for your continued love and support of all my hobbies, no matter how hard they may be for me to explain. AINNNNN'T DAT DA TROOOOOTH!"
The crowd roars, and the members of TBABIT chug their Natty Light and throw the cans into the ring.
