I just rewatched the match (because I'm a masochist?). I watched with the sound off (because I'm not that much of a masochist). Fix didn't back up nearly as much as I remember. And, he nearly pulled off the takedown on the edge, a la Perry vs Howe. If he got that foot ... Idk. Re bricks and such, I got a hot take: the challenges he won might have led to the stall call(s). Ref was trying to right a wrong.
