Agreed. As much as Browne sucks, I was glad to see him standing for the announcement. I'm still going to worry that he'll fall asleep backstage and never wake up after that. Even if you hate Browne, you need to acknowledge that if he dies as a result of a fight, there will be tons of Travis Browne tributes for months.

Bad refereeing. Sadly not even the worst this year.
