Damn, what a hot ass match that had me gunning for orange Cassidy more than I ever have before, and y’all know I’m a mark. I wonder if I wanted them to pull the trigger on an OC win because of that, or because it would have been a hot decision. Anyway, that ending was pretty anti-climactic to be honest, and I would have for sure went another way.
