HAKUSHI COMING TO ROYAL RUMBLE TWF officials learned today that New Japan Pro Wrestling will use Hakushi as their gauranteed entrant in the 2003 Royal Rumble. With a good selection, Hakushi could enter the Rumble match late and be a threat. Skilled in numerous fighting styles, Hakushi, which also means white angel, has fought the best from all over the world. Known most for his head to toe body art, this man is one of the best New Japan has to offer. It is said that Yuji Nagata wanted into the Rumble match too, but NJPW President Tatsumi Fujinami did not want to risk an injury to his heavyweight champion. SAY HELLO TO THE TWF's NEWEST DIVA On the most recent edition of PrimeTime, Shane informed the audience that he had traded Terri for Crystal Carmichael, a woman Travis Wakeman has been alleged to have been "very good" friends with in the past by newcomer Al Laiman. Carmichael is a 5 foot 8 beauty from Chicago, Illinois who has trained to be in wrestling since she was 17. Now at 22, she has made it to the big time. She credits the original NWO for getting her involved in wrestling and always dreamed of making it big. One interesting fact about Crystal is that she was a top 25 finalist on the first Tough Enough. But, she is happy to be where she is. Crystal Carmichael: "Ever since I heard about the TWF and began watching their shows, I knew this is where I wanted to be, no doubt". Look for Crystal to appear on PrimeTime in the not so distant future!
