This! :)

You know what strikes me about this? I just watched a huge chunk of the JRE interview where Eddie breaks down the match.

Before they get into detail on that they talk about a lot of Gracie's. And you know what? The ones they like the best are the ones that are nice, the ones that come to their after-party...you know?

You can bet that their reaction to us will be the same way. Doesn't have to be a dark-side thing.
