Funny thing is, few people crowed as loudly and delightedly about the new rule of fingers extended being a no-no as DC did.
But Nevada didn't adopt the new rules, so Cormier was under no official constraint from going full Bones on Stipe...
DC can be very sanctimonious about cheaters while exploiting every loophole and gray area to the utmost himself. He'll be correct to the letter of the law, but not necessarily to the spirit of the law. I suppose you can't fault that, all's fair in love and war etc. But I wish he'd dial down the gleeful smugness he indulges in sometimes.
