Day 22: "Wild Thing" James Bowen is consistently progressing, so he can come back to the ring. While he was training on the weights, listening to "Youth Gone Wild" by Skid Row on his CD player, a doctor comes in the gym.
Doctor: James, looks like you're doing well. Keep it up and we'll clear you to train in the ring.
James: Awesome.
Doctor: And you got a visitor.
James: That's rare; send them in.

Brought you a little something to liven up the place.  So how're you feeling James?
