Today’s contribution comes from longtime friend and reader, Kurt Sasso from TGT Webcomics podcast! As you can see by the date on the story, he wrote this a while ago and I really like it, but I just haven’t had time to work with it. Also, this is only part of the story between these two rookies, just enough to whet your appetite. Enjoy!!

Woohoo 🙂 I was wondering when this was going to get posted.
Yes, it’s a long time coming for this story, with twists and turns and great wrestling action showing that we Canadians definitely enjoy this sport.
Don’t forget Al, the commercials as well 😀
Ah, crap, I should’ve led with those. 😛
Actually, if you have more guest strip space, you can do those as well 🙂
About height/weights. For 5’5, 120 lbs (what you have in the description) is fairly slender. 110 lbs (what you have in the picture) is VERY skinny. 135 lbs for a woman 5’11 is also on the thin side.
