Dice stated that he asked out of his NWA deal back in June when an email was received stating that if anyone didn't believe in the vision of the NWA, they could get out of their deals. He asked out, but an NDA was requested, and he didn't want to sign that and got a lawyer. He knew he'd be dropping the NWA TV title when he wa...

Welp.
I was all set to do a very happy episode of SOUR GRAPS, talking about how SmackDown turned in one of their best episodes in months, commending the brilliant booking of the Universal Title feud, and also celebrating a brand new Intercontinental Champion.
