From Somewhere cool
Your announcers are Cole and King
Report for 411 by Sean “Beantown” McCluskey
Yeah… I had about 500 errors (okay, two noticeable ones) in my report. So I’m reposting it. Hey… Hyatte did it just about every week… I think I’m allowed to do it once eh?
So… I guess I’m just not good enough for all you high class readers huh? Voting SK and PK before me huh? You know… I have a K in my last name too… And my actualy initials are pretty cool (SM)… but I don’t use “cool” little nicknames of any sort as fuel to gain more attention…
*wipes tear off cheek*
Anyway… I’m Beany, and here’s my report… 🙂
We have 2 matches going tonight… Austin Vs Booker T, and Angle Vs The Rock. Winners face off on Raw to determine the #1 Contender.
