SAM IS THE CHAMP! / WINTERSLAM 5

 

 

 

 

What a night! The extra gloves that we ordered showed up today. I was picking them up in Danville at 6:30! We were cutting it a little close but that's the way we do it around here. Apparently a set of gloves is two pairs, and I ordered two sets!(The 8 gloves filled up the back of my truck) The border guards are always wondering what we will be bringing across next.
The night started with Secret Weapon by MXPX, great song to get everyone pumped. First up were the Lightweights and after four rounds we had the final four, Riley, Seth, Spencer and Cody. Cody quickly eliminated Riley and Seth but could not knock out Spencer. Spencer hung around for a while and let Cody get tired before he finished him off. It was a hard fought battle with SuSpence winning the Lightweight division for the second year in a row! Congrats Spencer!
Next up were the Heavyweights and another four rounds giving us the final four in the Heavyweight division. Sam S., Kaleb, Chris and Stevie were in the finals! Chris pulled out of the final, he was feeling sick. Sage finished second in the same heat that Chris had won, so he took his place in the final. Kaleb and Sam were the last two guys standing, and after a good battle, Sam was the Champ, again! Sam joins Ben Jepsen and Devin Chursinoff as the only three to complete the Battalion Belt Grand Slam.(Winning both The Royal Rumble and Winterslam.) And only the second one to complete the Grand Slam in one season.(Bent is the only other one to complete the Grand Slam in one season.) Congrats Sam!

Special thanks to Cam for setting up and running the music!(Again!)

Thanks also goes out to Sammy and Ryan for helping set up!

One more, thanks to Cam, Jeremy, Jordon, Devin and Ryan for helping out with the clean up, when we were done you couldn't tell that we had been there! (Besides the smell of sweat and smoke from the smoke machine.)
