I call these “Plain Janes” as my short hand for two guys just having a match. No titles. No gimmicks. No tournaments. Etc… I even decided (because I like making things hard on myself) to not include tag matches or anything that wasn’t a straight singles match. Pretty much the only reason these guys are […]
(by PHIL RIPPA) So much laziness. Shout out to board poster Web Conn for compiling a bunch of matches and videos for me to choose from.
