Juice gets to select the first 3rd person and I’m gonna to allow OMB to have Brodie Lee since it was his idea to add more characters in the first place. I think it’d be pretty unfair not to allow that. We will be runnin’ future Who’s The Third Man? Tournaments after big events like SummerSlam and Starrcade but those will be shorter tournaments so we won't have duplicate winners takin' over the roster too much. Of course, I am willin' to take any input on how I should handle this.
