(NOTE: This used to be called The STRUGGLE Session, but we realized that was too good a name and will be using it for house shows going forward)

ABDUL: You haven’t beaten everyone. Hell, last time you and Jezebel crossed paths, she pinned you.

STORMY: And this was when she came in fresh, after I took out her little buddies, Wish Dot Com Yumiko and The Great Communicator. One on one, I beat her every time.

ABDUL: …Except that time y’all went to a draw.

STORMY: Because she ran from me for thirty minutes!

ABDUL: Debatable.
