Sunshine is banned from ringside, if she does interfere, Garvin will lose the title! Finally, Hacksaw Duggan spoke of this earlier. Boris Zhukov and Alexis Smirnoff will take on Duggan, and a ‘Mystery Partner’. The Hacksaw Man is being very tight lipped about who his partner is. General Akbar is up in arms, this is a combustible situation. In the coming days more matches will be announced. Tickets are going fast, get them now!
