That was a rough round 2.  This went from silly and fun to sad and hard to watch.

So this weird thing is happening where when I post twice in a row, the 2nd post actually pops up ahead of the 1st one when the page loads.

One thing I learned is Mike Jackson is poop at fighting, but not as much poop as CM Punk.
