This week, we saw House of Black put Billy Gunn's boots in a trash compactor; all done with brooding aplenty, ominous words of nothing, and just a general sense of being corny as all hell.

Unfortunately, this was the sort of nonsense that has you questioning what exactly you were watching, and why exactly you were watching it.

The inevitable HOB vs. Acclaimed & Daddy Ass rematch should be solid, but this burgeoning rivalry currently feels way too cheesy.
