This show sucks. I’ll tell you in advance. You’ll understand when you listen to it, but I’ll explain more later on during today’s Figure Four Daily. What you’ll get is an ECW report, a TNA report, and a story about why the ENTIRE WORLD CHANGES TODAY. I have no joy in my life and I know God is a TUF fan but I will get my revenge on Him later today. I apologize for the length of the show, the issues, and being a geek in general. Oh well.
