2. Boa Predictor

Developing the character, beginning a storyline, and providing her with more TV minutes? It's a massive, massive yes from me on the latest Xia Li segment.

While the squash is obviously disappointing, Shotzi Blackheart needed a strong win this rather, rather than her patterned noble defeat. A straight-forward, short, sharp, convincing win with no scary botches and no prolonged periods of selling, if she's going to host Halloween Havoc then she needs to look like a bit of a monster.

For all great heel turns though the bottom has to be reached, and after a string of losses the manner of this one should be the last time we see Li until she's properly repackaged. Boa handing her a letter is a curious one but, provided this doesn't just feel like a Robert Stone rehash, there could be something really interesting here.
