Tommaso Ciampa Gargano Signs

Oh, look: it's that absolute prick again, and he wants you to quietly shut up so he can talk s*** on the most sympathetic wrestler in the world, your friend and mine, Johnny Gargano.

Just like last week, things didn't pan out to 'The Sicilian Psychopath's' liking. Ciampa took a microphone with him, but the crowd refused to let him get a word in, chanting loudly for Gargano, and holding up his signs. There wasn't a single point of entry for the beardy bastard's promo. He was once again forced to the back without uttering a single word, and the whole thing was entirely satisfying.

The crowd were more engaged this time around. They understood what was going on, and how they were supposed to react, and this resulted in a far stronger reaction than the previous round. For his part, Tommaso didn't flip out, but looked quicker to anger, and was once again infuriated by the audience's support for his former tag team partner.

This storyline is moving forward in a most satisfying way. Speaking of which...
