He actually is a good sport and a good guy and when Tombstone usually loses he’s fine with it look at S6 and how much Tombstone struggled but he still smiled in those fights. Why he’s pissed here is because I think there was some miscommunication with the count out and how early it occurred but he was not mad at the Skorpios team. Plus his smugness was his “villain” persona in earlier seasons.

It looked like Tombstone knocked its own wheels off from the recoil of its own weapon. It spun it around so hard that the wheel snapped of when it hit the other bot.

it one of Tombstones greatest weak point is the wheels . But do like to quote Tomb stone . there is a reason why the wheel are like they are to handle the force that the blade puts down . i think he said he rather lose a wheel an have them enuff to turn his bot while they drive into them to take them out . i mite be down a wheel but the weapon still spins. I wouldn't call this a up set battle more like a nice battle great hit's I thought there for a 2nd Skorpios was done for . they did a great job on Skorpios . Tombstone not out of the fight yet he lost one round . he still has a big chance to come back an win it all . i mean idea's on tombstones drive train i would take the the wheels wheel motors an make it so it would have outer wheel like it does but also have inner wheels just in case outter get taking out . make some type of drive shaft coming of the wheel motors he has with a chain to drive 2 wheels on one side . Look i know he is limited on weight shave alitte off the weapon for alittle more grip into more drive train i tell you tombstone would be even more deadly . Tombstone- is a one hit wonder . on the first hit you ether get Burried . shreded . or knocked out .

the count out was not legit. he was pinned and skorpios had to back away in order for a count out to begin... tombstone would have lost either way but i feel it was bad ref call.

I mean it backed off of the pin around countdown 8 or so, that's controlled movement. It stayed nearby because it didn't want to give Tombstone the space to spin up the weapon and yeet itself off the walls for one last hit against Skorpios. The successful strategy against Tombstone is to eat a big hit while you're still in good enough shape to do it to force the weapon to slow, then stay close enough that it can't get up to full speed again before contacting you. Sitting there to box Ray in was just an extension of that.
