  Alex Garcia vs Nick Karras - 88 Wrestling So, I picked up this match last week and initially I wasn't sure if I was going to review it or not.

You get the sense there really is some bad blood between these two. Favorite moments: SpyShot 16: Etienne w/Butch J vs Stefan - WrestlingMale WrestlingMale has had several really well done multi-man matches lately. Although Butch J is mostly an onlooker...
