A 2009 február 21-én kiosztásra kerülő ISA zászlóshajója meglepő módon nem a THE WRESTLE, ami három jelölést gyűjtött be, hanem a FROSEN RIVER és a BALLAST fej-fej mellett. Kötelességem megemlíteni, ogy személyes kedvencem, a THE VISITOR három jelölés gyűjtött be, ami nem sok, de legalább van. Go, Jenkins!
