I'm a sucker for rule sets and since MattHarris has put out the TNA rule set, i've started a new circuit based off of it.
I present to you PINNACLE PRO WRESTLING - imagine if Ring of Honor had allowed a portion of their roster to work a side promotion that had a weekly show on PPV.
I will be posting all PPW events in this 1 thread to keep it tidy.
Enjoy!
