Just touching base on this page since it hasn't been updated for a few weeks. Main reason is that there has been very little activity since the holiday break. Match updates have been going on a daily basis on the NJWrestlingNews.com page. After this weekend when everyone really gets back into action, I'll get into another team by team update similar to the previous updates.

Friday, January 8th
Just touching base on this page since it hasn't been updated for a few weeks. Main reason is that there has been very little activity since the holiday break. Match updates have been going on a daily basis on the NJWrestlingNews.com page. After this weekend when everyone really gets back into action, I'll get into another team by team update similar to the previous updates.
