Danhausen

In some very nice, very evil news, Danhausen has signed with Adventure Media for “management in all areas” of his career.

AAA cancelled an appearance for Ludwig Kaiser following his arrest but rescheduled it for tonight after the court waived objections to him traveling for work.

One time WWE 24/7 Title champion and former Raw guest host Kyle Busch has passed away at 41 years old after a sudden illness of an undisclosed nature. This has been a huge shock to his NASCAR fan base and deeply traumatic to his wife and children, and my condolences go out to all of them.
