Now, nobody's going to doubt the inestimable courage of this year's Warrior Award recipient, Eric LeGrand, but the segment was unfortunately brutally overlong, and caused the already indecently long show to basically grind to a halt pacing-wise.

Even ignoring the various criticisms of the award itself (that Warrior described Droz as a "cripple", and he wanted the award to be given to backstage personnel rather than PR-baiting recipients), it dragged on way too long and pretty much cements that the Warrior Award will become the Hall of Fame's annual toilet break.

Harsh? Maybe, but definitely true.
