Not sure why they are still there but Greg Peterson and Prince Pullins should be replacing Buddy Wayne and Ken Dillinger on the SECW roster. Dillinger and Wayne are on the free agent list, as they were released from SECW some time ago. Pullins and Peterson have 3 month contracts.

Eddie Mansfield has been stripped of the Mid-Atlantic TV title as a result of his despicable, disgusting and outrageous acs on the 8/17 edition of Mid-Atlantic Championship Wrestling, which you can view in horror with your own eyes right HERE:
