Bret Gold Issues 2v1 Challenge — "Beat Me and I'll Let You Quit"

In a stunning development, former 90s pro dooramper Bret Gold has issued a direct challenge to retirees Owen Buckwalter and Max M: face him in a 2v1 match, and if they win, he will formally accept their retirements. Gold, known for his dominant run in the early dooramp era, reportedly made the challenge public just days after Owen's retirement announcement.

The Challenge

“You don't get to walk away like that,” Gold is said to have stated. “Earn it.” No match date has been confirmed.

Background

Owen Buckwalter's retirement, announced just one week before the season opener, sent shockwaves through the NDL community. Gold, who came out of retirement himself several years ago, has never been known to let a rivalry end quietly.

What's Next

The NDL has yet to officially acknowledge the challenge. Sources close to the league suggest the match, if it happens, could be one of the most-watched events in dooramp history.
