Back to her Rinning ways. And that makes Bulldozers a 100% on her predictions today. Amazing stuff!

[The Texas Rattlesnakes]

She has always been great at predicting.

[The Sandmen]

Yes. Should I edit that, or nah?


(for those who care (no one), that is the result of making the women fights contain women instead of men. The program only has men, so when I do women's fights, I have to put all the womens fights (and write-ups) into Microsoft Word and ctrl+f replace all the masculine pronouns with feminine ones. Hence, Bulldozers being called a her - I wrote the "his predictions" before I had all the fights into Word for the Ctrl+F replace) #NowYouKnow

[The Texas Rattlesnakes]

I don't think she'll notice it either way.

Now if you do though she'll be confused and only we will know, so if you do it, it might be funny.
