On January 31, in Round 3 of GCLAW's Inaugural Brawl, Lincoln Hawk defeated Lady Forsyth to become the first ever GCLAW Champion! The match was tight, coming down to a final right-hand wrassle between Hawk and Forsyth. Bribes were made, but the outcome of a 2-1 win for Lincoln Hawk was declared a clear victory by our celebrity Judges Josh Slotnick, Bob Marshall, and Courtney Blazon.
No arms were broken in The Birth of GCLAW and no animals were injured or eaten during the event, despite the obvious hunger of Sassy Squatch.
Many thanks go out to all those who participated in and all who came out to support our inaugural event. GCLAW raised $450 for Garden City Harvest thanks to your work and your bets!
