Sorry to be so long without updating guys, it's been a hectic week, and just getting a few minutes to keep up with everyone else's dynasties has been tough. Will hopefully get back to normal come Monday morning, and will be a post. Sorry again.:o

Well everyone, I have decided that while it's been a good run, I'm going to be laying this dynasty to rest. I don't know, I'm just not as excited about it as I used to be. I have another idea clanking around in my head, so I shouldn't be out of the dynasty game for very long, so hopefully you guys will check out my new dynasty once I get it started! I apologize for those who picked fights that were never fought. Here is the write up for WEC's final show. Thanks again for following guys!
