It’s been a wild few days in Iowa City that even the die-hard wrestling fan Nostradamus didn’t see coming.

The HWC women were the ones being cut. They were leaving. Thomas Gilman was following Perry out the door. And everything sucked. This was mass hysteria caused by an overzealous poster that didn’t have the details, didn’t care to get the details, and had no interest in confirming the details of the story.
