Well done, Main Mask. April Fools' Day seems an especially lean date wrestling wise. I went through hundreds of bills and couln't find a single one.
Maybe yesterday's comment about 31st March being so active actually holds weight.
Nice bill there in Wolverhampton bringing back happy memories of the night I got Rolando Aguirre's autograph - I was chuffed.
