It’s My Life: The Best of Mania Weekend 

Share This Post

Sorry it’s taken an extra couple of days, but with all the festivities of Mania weekend, Gin Friday turned into Gin Saturday and Sunday. Monday morning I felt like PCO’s chest looked after Walter chops. Seriously – Google ‘PCO Walter chest’ if you missed that match, but be warned it’s not for the weak of heart. Now let’s get to the best of the weekend.

Weekend MVP: Matt Riddle

Riddle went up against the likes of Minoru Suzuki, Zach Sabre, Jr. and Keith Lee over the course of a couple days. He ended the Evolve reign of Sabre and had a fun match with James Ellsworth. An absurd and successful weekend for the Bro.
