Summary

This week, we tell a story of perseverance. Sort of. A young man is sent to prison at 15, but turns his life around, after finding boxing. It's downright inspirational... until the guy starts committing untold horrors upon the unsuspecting population. He is sent back to prison for what we think is the worst thing he could've done, until DNA solves a cold case, and we find out what REALLY is the worst thing he could have done!

Be sent to adult prison at 15, fight your way up the boxing ranks, and then be the monster that keeps people up at night with Willie "The Cannon" Shannon!!

Check us out, every Tuesday!

We will continue to bring you the biggest idiots in sports history!!

And that's saying something. With when we deal with the Buczum Ha

that's it. We have backstage wrestler fights from throughout history. So this is actual wrestlers fighting each other because they're angry at each other. So this is going to be. Oh boy, and they're so fun too, because like these guys are, you know, a lot of times they're vicious.
