He stalls on top, didn't add anything to his repertoire, looked to be only a half step ahead of Lambert (to my eye), and gave up another frustrating, untimely reversal.
I have little doubt that he will place top 4, but I think I bought into the hype that he was going to finally win a title. Maybe I'm just not impressed due to my own expectations. He's still Nico. He's still got an insane gas tank with crazy flexibility, great defense, and solid offensive skills...
I guess I just thought I was going to see something different. To me, it's like if Zain came out and wrestled the same way he did his freshman year.
