Renzo completely had his way with Covington here. I think Renzo was really excited to fight someone of equal, or lesser skill than himself. It's never happened before! (I am happy Colby has not had work, but I fear that xx - Hidden Dragons will come on and storm-upgrade him and we will have to deal with legit-Covington and that will make me sad. So I have to revel in his lack of success while I can.)
