Our reporter sits in The Great Room at The Manor watching baseball and basketball and sipping cold beverages with Poindexter Del Crunchy and the Man In The Hat.
Reporter: "So, lots of new signings, guys. What jumps out?"
Pointy (grinning): "Somers and Turner, I think, have some potential for Chimera..."
Man In The Hat (laughing): "Pointy's smilin' because he knows how close Cree Cicchino was to signin' with Front Street earlier this year. She was going to replace Cassandra Lynn when the latter retired. That was an absolutely BRILLIANT signin' by IBB."
Reporter: "How close was it between Cicchino and List?"
Pointy: "Very, very close to a coin flip. Cree has the goods. Give that kid some work and support and she can be a champion."
Reporter: "Changing the subject, the War In Heaven looks like another great Victoria's Secret tournament..."
Pointy: "It's always awesome. Always."
Reporter (narrowing his eyes): "There's a quite noticeable omission in the brackets..."
Man In The Hat (smiling): "Let me make this clear. Taylor Hill WAS invited. I just couldn't see my way clear to tying her up for the last third of the year. I DID think about it, because, again, that tournament is always fantastic, but it just didn't make sense at this point. But. We'll definitely be watchin' with great interest. No doubt about that."
Reporter: "The fact that there are welters in the tournament didn't play into it?"
Man In The Hat (shaking his head): "Never got to that point and hadn't even thought about that. It was just a question of Taylor's schedule and whether we wanted to jam four or five more fights into it. Which is not to say we might not make another decision should a future invite come down the pike. Because, we just might. Now. Let's watch some ball, shall we?"
