John’s Ramblings: Another week, another Level Up. Not much to the matches for this edition. The main event was fun which concluded the Best-Of-Three series with the right team going over in my opinion. But perhaps the biggest news item from this week was the rough looking bump taken from Carlee Bright as she was whipped into the ropes by Lash Legend in the opener, she seemed okay post match however. Bright was lucky to avoid injury with that one.
