...Sapp beat on him for a while too

.
The HW division is light enough that letting Lesner have a shot isn't as big a deal as it might be made out to be. Gonzaga is hit and miss and had a go last year. Wedrum is probably more deserving but hasn't been so impressive as to really pitch a fit about. Brandon Vera? Kongo? Carwin?
The only thing about the situation that gets me is like pretty much everyone said, who ever wins the Lesner\Couture fight is almost certainly going to get beat up by Nog (giving Mir less chance of beating Nog than Lesner beating Randy).
Tell you what, I'm excited to see the Palhares\Henderson match! Yes, I have a big man crush on Henderson...and a slight one on Palhares but I'm all kinds of worked up.
