For our first Sunday CME Session since renovations on the new-and-improved Video Room began, Wednesday Night Titans (aka WNT) drummer Zach Danziger and bassist Kevin Scott made their pile-driving, pro-wrestling-inspired funk sounds so forceful that, by the time they sat down to talk wrestling moves and power grooves with CME HR Specialist Ben Ringhofer…well, the fight spilled out over the ropes and the CME Video Room became their wrestling ring! Can you smell what CME’s cooking this week? Find out in this Sunday’s CME Session with WNT!
