Hmmm, with the newfound inclusion of fights getting summarized and booted to YouTube (a practice not seen since Season 4), might as well make it a game and try to predict which ones suffer such a fate! Fights are ranked in order of “YouTube Worthiness”, most to least. Which means I’m ranking fights worst to […]

Well, umm, most of that was very straightforward and predictable!

And a shame too, because one of those was very interesting and should not be overlooked. The other…gee, […]
