Edge out 4 months

In some wrestling news that doesn’t involve death, Edge is hurt. Mike Johnson is reporting he’ll require surgery on his torn pec and be out 4 months. I lost the link (annoying site) but it’s on PWInsider.com.

WWE 24/7

Again we go into the WWE vault to see what they have in store for us in July. I’ll give you a hint- he calls everyone “Tough Guy”

WWE 24/7

This site needs some actual wrestling content again so let’s fill that gap by going into the WWE’s expansive vault- with their monthly wrestling programming.
