Week 6

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
