Real will have his tag team partner Tay Rizer in his corner, but even as a team their still going to be out manned. The Nomads roll deep, don’t be surprised to see Pickles the Clown, Ace Evans, and other Nomads are at ringside. Don’t miss this hard – hitting match up on September 20th in St. John’s.
