Summary: In an alcohol-induced brainstorm, Newt decides to get Danny involved in the world of professional wrestling. What could possibly go wrong? In what has always been one of the favorite episodes of D.A.R.T.S, we prove that anything can, and does, go wrong.             (**Note** In a failure of epic proportions, I neglected to let Kerri Hayden know about the recording date for this episode. For that reason, the part of Dot Period was read by Loretta Howieson instead. Loretta did a great job, but I always cringe when I hear a different voice for Dot)
