Welcome to Hero Recall!

Enjoy this special episode covering all of the crazy roster changes that are rumored to have happened and that have actually happened this off season.

Please remember this episode was recorded on November Tuesday 12th. I actually ended up getting hospitalized after for a while, so it took this long to get it up and ready for you all. It's kind of a mess....enjoy!
