Thursday, Aug. 17 — Media Mayhem Match

Mike Bianchi is the station’s AM show host and also a sports columnist for the Orlando Sentinel; he was scheduled to opposed Kravitz, but he had pull out at the last minute – which led Kravitz to brag on-air that Bianchi clearly was scared of Kravitz’ managerial mind. Then The Shot Doctor stepped in and quickly threw down the gauntlet, challenging Kravitz.
* Kravitz will be the Special Manager for Kongo Kong. The Shot Doctor will be the Special Manager for a yet-to-be-named wrestler.Friday, Aug. 18 — Cancer Awareness Night
