Lol the lack of excitement for Surf’s battle just illustrates how underwhelming of a b side that John John is.
This is the exact reason why he never wanted to battle him, but Surf’s status deteriorated to the point that it made sense.
I still think the card would be better if the opponents were swapped, meaning Mook vs Surf, and Reed/Todd 2.
Now I don’t particularly have an interest in Reed/Todd 2, but Reed has been begging for it for years and can argue that he battled him before he was fully acclimated.
