John Jay completed their season at 11-2-3, and seeded third, a sectional championship was within reach.

We made it. We made it to the magical month of December. Any NFL fan knows that December is when, as Jim Ross often says, "business starts to pick up." December is not only the last month of the calendar year, it is also the final full month of the NFL season, and that's when the playoff races get very interesting. Before this season, the regular season either ended on the final Sunday of the calendar year, or the first Sunday of the New Year, but now it's a 17-game season played in 18 weeks, meaning that the season is now guaranteed to enter the New Year.

The match starts off with Vader entering the ring—traditional Vader attire, a mainly black one-piece wrestling getup, full-leg, red on the side. He’s wearing his usual mask that looks halfway badass and halfway like he’s got a pair of leather panties on his head. One word: Awesome. He struts around the ring like the badass he is. His theme music plays. He glares at the crowd like he could crush them all if he wished, and he probably could, the dude is huge…
