Someone in power had finally made the decision to ax the Lost in Cleveland skits, and they're subtly buried here minus a few token acknowledgments. Cactus talks about "the look" wrestlers get when signing to face Vader--a look they once had for signing to face him. He admits a little bit of jealousy, but aims to put that same look in Vader's eyes. As a way to reintroduce Cactus after the disastrous Lost in Cleveland segments, I'm not sure this could have been done better. For all the faults levied against Foley as a person and a carny in recent years, at his best he was still a master psychologist.

This is the kind of stuff Mick should have been doing instead of the Lost in Cleveland garbage. Just have him send in videotapes week after week promising revenge on Vader, starting out low-key and serious and then ramping up the intensity until it boils over as it did here. It's a simple formula that's been copied a thousand times, and that's because it works.

 

I liked Mick admitting that he was a little jealous of the fear that Vader puts into young wrestlers' hearts. He's not only fighting for revenge, but for his reputation as the most feared man in wrestling, which should make his eventual showdown with Vader even wilder than their previous two matches, if that's possible.
