As I took notes, I time-stamped each line but unfortunately when I opened the file again, all timestamps were updated to the current time so I replaced them with bullets. To get a sense of timing, each line represents about fifteen seconds.

What did you think of the show? Let us know in the comments below!
Appreciate the play by play, but there is a mistake here. The description “belly-down armbar” belongs to Claire and Morgan’s match, not Gwen and Cleea’s.
Hey Mark, I’m not sure what you mean, I double-checked and it is in Claire and Morgan’s match.
In the brief descriptions of the matches at the top of the page, it says “Clea Straklevski (Team DNA) vs Gwen LeClair (Synergy) – belly-down armbar”. The play-by-play is correct, however.
Ah, I see it now. It’s been corrected. Thanks for the heads up
No Problem. Nice job on the match descriptions!
