The Chaperone Preview: SPOILER ALERT: This Movie is Going to Suck
0 Submitted by RD Reynolds on Wed, 26 December 2012, 18:30Text by F4WOnline Forum Member Bone Machine Note from RD: There aren’t a whole lot of rules ’round these parts at WrestleCrap.com, but we do have one: we never induct anything inside the same calendar year it’s begun.
