He's got great momentum right now, but unfortunately that match was booked on the prelims, so it didn't do a whole ton for his popularity.

Update #5: September - October 2016

Goon Fighters:
Small Local wins for Andore Gaint, Jimmy Riley, Stan Darsh, Rubin Carter, Chris Jericho, Pepe Magnifique and Marty McFly

I don't know much about MMA - the Lion's Den is a joke these days right? So Donny is clearly using his experience having beaten CM Punk and training with Ken Shamrock to crossover into pro wrestling
