- Bray vs Broken Matt is a perfect match up -- nm - Remlik Dec 4, 20:31 3

  - Yeah, that was a surprisingly pleasing turn of events. -- nm - David Dec 4, 20:34 1
    - I know Vince is lost. Wonder if Vangauard 1 gets rebooted -- nm - Remlik Dec 4, 20:37

        right on. -- nm - Remlik Dec 4, 20:18
