The sad thing is that a 3:30 intermission feels like a huge relief to me since their shows usually don't even start by now. The five am starts are brutal.

Oh my God the first match after the intermission is going to be a Gracies match :gonk:

The four matches that don't involve Gracies should rule though , and hopefully Shinsuke can carry Daniel to a match that's at least adequate.

Bad by 2013 standards certainly, but a couple of the matches were fun at least and even the goddamn ytr/MiSu match resulted in something for a change.

this is the best 2014 Gracies match we've gotten so far, which isn't exactly the highest bar but at least we've got Mad Sakuraba this time. They're working so many more spots.
