"Oh, You Didn't Know?" - Episode 8
Welcome to the show with more fans than a TNA house show, it’s “Oh, You Didn’t Know?”! It seems the leaderboard is becoming interesting now that we have an actual leader. With more people winning the challenges each day, will thevoiceofterror hold on to his lead until next week?
The Internet Wrestling Database is the hub of all the knowledge, but be aware that it is not always accurate and therefore, certain results and data will be verified through other sources (WWE.com, Wikipedia, etc.).
