That's because you didn't watch as much as I have :D. I remember Mechavore rending through Vlad The Impaler's inch-thick armor as though it were cardboard, nearly cutting it in half. I remember Minion striking Toro so directly that its blade cut into and ruptured one of Toro's internal CO2 tanks, basically blowing the top off of the machine. I remember Son of Whyachi mercilessly tossing the 300 pound Nightmare across the arena floor, decimating its entire drive assembly, without skipping a beat. Backlash versus Alpha Raptor, Ziggo versus Shrike, and lest I forget about Hazard, and the piles of destruction it left in its wake, winning 3 out of 5 Middleweight titles...
There was destruction, to be certain. Much more that didn't make it on the air, footage that had to be sought out by more intrepid means. Fun stuff, but I don't expect you to appreciate it as much as I do (or did) :D.
The Earthworker Race has ended. Everybody wins.
