There's that, too. I'm sure he's avoiding catching a real damaging L, which is why he's so absurdly choosy. I think he's only battling Lux for the payday, or he's deluded himself into thinking he can win. Likely both.
Which i also agree with. But why act like that's a bad thing? Surf managing his career the way he has is the reason he's at where he's at.
Jc battling nobodies in basements is also the reason he's where he's at.
I remember watching a Surf interview a couple years back and he brought up JC Cortez Math and JJDD and said he looks at all 4 of those as 15,000 battles. He's not turning down 15k. So when Smack thinks it's go time it'll go down. But thinking Surf is gonna settle for anything less especially when JC is out here losing to Loso of all people is crazy lol.
JC has to create the demand to pay Surf that 15k. It's not the other way around.
I know we can only talk about this stuff from a fans point of view but making outlandish statements like "Surf is ducking JC" Just doesn't even sound right.
