A month out of ECW 5 Reed Howlett hurts his leg in training, but I am able to get Tom Essy to take the fight against Carson Neuwirth on short notice for a $250 inducement. Unfortunately Neuwirth wants $750 more since the opponent is changing and I have no choice but to pay him. I will remember this though.
Mort Slingsby, who is scheduled to fight Deverill Butt in November suffers a broken ankle training and the fight is off. Brady Crawford will step in and fight Butt in his place.
We sign two Heavyweights to bring our total to 22. The new additions are 18 year old newcomer Douglas Acid, a 6’8 giant with a 1-0 pro record and 36 yr old journeyman Soren Jellyman, who is 13-10 and lost to Wilson Franklyn at a local show right before we signed Franklyn.
