Welcome, the few of you. This started a few years ago for TheMat.com Refugees. The same reason TOM started... I have been friends with some of the people here for over 20 years, simply because we met on a forum. Heck, at one point with The Du, Mets, and so many others, we did live play-by-play calls at duals across the country; our crew also included JB, Brinzer, Okie, and many more. Epic calls from the Midlands, when Fleeger coined the Unicorn and Lost, who can forget that guy? Anyway, this place is open to anyone who wants to join, hang out, or just shoot the shit. We are not trying to build a big fancy new media site. This is more of a wrestling man cave for some of us "Seasoned" types. But all are welcome. We set the forum to 18+, and no bashing of athletes; keep it civil or earn a Richard. 💬 Forums College, International, Recruiting, MMA, Off Topic, and Wrestling Takes Start topics, quote posts, and reply Post photos and paste video or social links that play right in the thread R…
