***The show shifted gears to talk about the Absolute Intense Wrestling “Todd Pettengill Invitational” held this Friday & Saturday in Lakewood, OH. First up the “Megastar” Marion Fontaine who opened up about an incident with an internet journalist, his “exclusive interview” with Todd, his first round opponent Colt Cabana, the legacy of his well coifed moustache, who would be a dream tag team partner and who he does NOT wish to face in the TPI. Be sure to LIKE Marion on Facebook.
