360 was glorious tonight. The antipathy that Bucks regularly shows towards everything Robbo makes it a must watch anyway, but tonights episode was truly spectacular for the pasting that Robbo got. As an undercard It began when Gerard flat out questioned Robbo's journalistic integrity and when asked if he would've gone to print with the same story Gerard said categorically No! The mild mannered polite one used to the gentile world of the middle class ABC the proceeded to use a series of precise blows to his opponents soft underbelly before easing back and taking his ring side seat for what was to come. I scored the bout a TKO to the little guy in the plaid shirt, an unnatural like of horses, the hair of a fishing net and the demeanour of a suburban accountant.
Then it was on to main event of the night where a plucky but clearly deluded Robbo thinking he had right on his side decided that it would be a good idea to confront not one but two hardened opponents at the same time, the silly, silly man. From there on in it was the most lopsided fight since Indian Jones took on the sword wielding guy in an Egyptian bazaar. Challenger One in the black and white trunks landed quite a few well placed blows by following the undercards lead and also questioning Robbo's integrity, but chose not to go for the knockout against the huffing and puffing but clearly struggling Robbo, lest anybody think he was using the questionable timing of the article as an excuse for their poor performance over the weekend.
Challenger two in the blue and white hooped trunks stood back and watched the carnage like a shark in a kiddy pool. Slowly circling and just waiting for an opportunity to strike and when he did he never once took his laser like vision off his hapless victim and went about the demolition of Robbo with the same brutally efficiency that he played the game. I scored the bout a clear knockout to the two polo shirt wearing intellectuals who just bludgeoned their opponent into silence from each side of the desk. I suspect that Robbo will be at home right now massaging his brutalised ego and murdering a couple of slabs.
Edit: Just wanted to mention that Robbo was so punch drunk by the very end of the bout that with seconds to go he made an incredibly childish remark that spoke of his true ethical integrity when he questioned whether Eddie Maguire would've run with the story should he have had the same information regarding another team. I look forward to Robbo getting a further deserved pummelling tomorrow.
tldr; Robbo walked into a TV studio expecting a knife fight and ran into three guys carrying guns*.
