Slanted Scissors made her first appearance of the year after taking a break upon learning that she’d been kicked off her former team, the still active RPS Speedwagon.  She swore to make RPS Speedwagon pay (this is a guess) and make them pay she did at The Raven Lounge! She made it all the way to the finals after her old team all lost in the 1st or 2nd round (in fact she eliminated the last... read more
