The SmarK Retro Rant for WWF Survivor Series 1993
So since I'm at that point with Monday Night RAW now and the original rant badly needs a redo, here you are. Plus my theater isn't showing Bragging Rights (can you blame them?) and I don't feel like spending $50 on the HD PPV, so this is what you get from me today instead.

So I know everyone’s talking about the bullshit decision for Machida tonight, but unfortunately I was working late tonight and couldn’t see UFC. What I DID finally see, airing late at night on TSN2, was a replay of the WEC show with the Cerrone-Henderson fight from last month. And holy FUCK what a fight! Ben Henderson was like a freak of nature, escaping stuff that no human being should have been able to survive intact. But Cerrone controlled the whole fight outside of some parts of the middle rounds, so I still don’t get where the decision for Henderson came from. I mean, yeah, the guy put on an amazing clinic and deserves respect for it, but Cerrone had that thing wrapped up and should have tapped any other fighter on the planet with the kimora in the last minute of round 5. I think Mir on commentary summed it up best when Cerrone was bending Henderson’s arm back at an angle not intended by nature and Henderson gave the thumbs-up and promptly escaped, and Mir just goes “Holy god, Jesus!” along with everyone else at home, totally at a loss for any other words. WOW.
Oh yeah, John Cena v. Randy Orton on Sunday, in their fourth PPV main event in a row. For an hour. Gee, I wonder why males 18-34 are all watching UFC now?
