Nice to see Andy again but very sad since he isn’t the same. Too much time out of the ring. I don’t think he can make a reasonable come back. He also looks confused when he attempted to use an MMA’s techniques on his adversary who was smiling after the fact, may be caused but the unusual ring deployed for this fight.
