Not the outcome I wanted on Gotch vs. Tragos but I'll make it work. It's really hard to not rush Gotch vs. Hackenschmidt

[TTX]

yeah I think when we first got Hack, I think I managed three fight cards before turning Gotch heel and matching them up.

Same. I'm not doing the same thing this time.

[topdollar]

I'm predicting a win & a long title reign for Gotch. But I could be wrong, I still don't have the new cards so I have no idea how strong his--or anyone's--stats are. I can only guess.
