I'm just not excited about WVR. Their matchmaking is mediocre... its either boo guys I don't care about, or if a good guy fights it's one-sided.

The exception at this point for me is the MWGP which is shaping up nicely. I'll pass on Aug 24 though save French/Kitaoka

I LIKE THERE EVENTS

TRIGG IN THE EVENT MAKES IT WORTH IT
