Anything to do with the IPT turns my stomach… just typing the three letters turns my stomach! To date I've had no desire to try to watch any of their "challenge matches".
This match up with Oliver & John will be great and is the first thing that's piqued my interest. I wish like all get out that TAR was putting this on & not
them. From what I've heard from those that have bothered to
try to watch these "challenge matches", it's next to impossible to do so. If you can even get the feed, it's of horrific quality and gives you a headache trying to watch it. <shaking head> TAR did a better job with a terrible internet connection, 10 yr old laptop & a walmart video camera at the DCC.
I had the pleasure of meeting Oliver this past summer at the 14.1 event in NJ. He's got one heckuva mean game face… LOL, I was almost scared to meet him. Wow, what a nice guy! He was nothing as I had expected (just going by demeanor & facial expressions alone). John is a super nice guy as most already know… Because of how much I genuinely like these two guys and how great they both are at 14.1, I might actually have to try to stomach the crappy feed to see this match.
