[LWan...@aol.com]

Do you feel like a wolverine? Are you under invasion by communist forces? Are you too young to know which movie I am talking about? Well boys and girls... bring your hammers and sickles cause it's time to go a huntin'!

 

Mercury Cup #3 is on Sunday, February 4th!

 

This is your first chance to win our new $50 bounty prize for knocking Alex Abend out of a Mercury Cup event.

 

- Who will he draw?
- Will anybody actually beat him?
- Will it be you???

 

Probaby not... but how will you ever know if you don't show?

 

LAST CHANCE

 

This is the third event in a six event cup... the winner of which receives a whopping $500 in equipment and their name engraved on the illustrious Mercury Cup. but only your top 4 results count. So even if you haven't participated yet - YOU CAN STILL WIN! If you miss this one though, your chances are over baby...

 

EVENT-SPECIFIC NOTES

 

- The wrestling mats will all be pre-lifted by our juiced-up friends to uncover the rumored strips underneath. This will enable us to run the first round in a single-flight, avoiding the time issues we had in the first two events.

 

- We will finish this event in time for you to bear witness to the Chicago Bears destroying the puny and insignificant Indianapolis Colts in order to regain their rightful place as champions of the universe.

NYAC MEMBERS ONLY

 

Sign-up but DO NOT go through online payment. I will approve your entries when I see them and you will pay at the door. For the stupid: NYAC members include those who are actual athletic, associate or regular members of the New York Athletic Club or those with a privledge card. If your not getting a monthly invoice, you probably aren't a member. Gate list guests are not members. Those who claim the NYAC as their USFA club without actually belonging to it are not members either. This means you. If you still aren't sure, you can ask me ($1 stupid-question charge applies).
