I fully support you too. Good luck taking down the Rybka Cluster.... in the uniform platform championship though Rondo should have a decent chance.

Is it using a book from 2007?! (that's what it looked like on the webpage anyway) Um....

I expect to have better chances in the main event actually. Rondo should be running on some pretty ridiculous hardware if all goes according to plan.

Erdo is still booking for us, so the book should be quite up to date.
Is Rondo named after Rajon?
