Last week was the victory lap for Ghost kenobi but alas he was overthrown by some muscle
Will the Muscle Men reign supreme for two weeks in a row or will they also fall?  Theres an abbreviated field this week as there just wasn't much ebay or sportlots mail this week.  But we have quality presenters and quality Hammers!  Who wins and returns next week----you decide!!
 The men have found a beautiful dual materials with a sick sick patch.  #d 2/25
 A charcoal hero from a well known face
