Rating: DUD

Combine the Firing Squad's repetitive bullsh*t, YOSHI-HASHI's rank mediocrity, and Bad Luck Fale's poor tournament conditioning and you're left with this: a perfect insomnia cure.

Like Tonga vs. Goto, the action preceding the pantomime was turgid. Fale has slowed down noticeably since the opening day, resulting in some slow, ponderous action, rife with poor psychology (YOSHI-HASHI, damaged shoulder and all, repeatedly tried to lift the 344lber up). It stunk, and we've already wasted too many words on it.
