Week 3 |

Just as we did last season, we are going to
let the fans pick the wrestler of the week. Our weeks will start on
Monday and end the following Sunday. We then will give you guys a few
days or so to send in nominations then begin the voting. When sending in
nominations, please state why they deserve to be the wrestler of the week,
who they beat, and when/where at. The voting will usually begin on
Wednesday or Thursday and end on Sunday Night. If you would like to make
a nomination for the following week, please send an email to
bbaker@wiwrestling.com
