It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Adam Copeland seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?

Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Pappy Shrew (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Barbara Boxer (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Shrew's entrance music is In The Morning. A fine choice. I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Barbara Boxer was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
