      <![CDATA[It has been a closely guarded secret to this point, however - as Leiweke has all but spilled the proverbial Cocoa Puffs - in the interests of shoring up the city's long limp libido (sans a script for SottoPelle), we think it apt to share the news that WNBTv has been working diligently to bring a professional team to The Sprint Arena.<br>
<br>
Indeed, WNBTv is THIS close to inking a deal with the internationally famous, professional lucha libre league, Federacion Argentina de Catch!<br>
<br>
That's right, KC. In almost no time the lucha libre athletes will wipe out that annual $20 million Sprint Arena deficit (that no amount of AEG checks have EVER covered)!<br>
<br>
Get ready for PURE EXCITEMENT, KC!!!<br>
<br>
Fuck a buncha NBA/NHL.
