Just when it seems he has reached his breaking point, Mr. Brodie actually hands a confused Evil Uno a glass of champagne. Staring at it, Uno smiles and remarks,"It's a long time since I drank champagne."

hmmm....thinking about downgrading suzuki vs nagata to HM. not sure if it measures up to page&omega vs bucks...its not as good but very different......

i will not downgrade but will asterisk that i still think the tag team match from revolution is still front-runner for match of the year
