PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Hannes Gratscheff (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Smasher Money (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Gratscheff kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genuis that is Steamline. Money has chosen Gives You Hell as his entrance music. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
