I can see some people not liking it because the preview looked like it might have lead to a different kind of story than the one we got, but personally I didn't take issue with that. Most of the props I would have given have already been listed but I liked the side jobs montage and some of the gags during the scene where Mordecai and Rigby were getting womanhandled by Starla and her sister.

That being said, what does mud-wrestling have to do with anything the episode's been about up to then? I mean, yay for gratuitous cartoon violence but you could almost replace that with anything that gets Mordecai and Rigby some cash and it wouldn't have affected the overall story. Cut and paste plot aside, I did enjoy the character interactions like when Mordecai and Rigby had each other's backs in the ring. Or Benson and company somewhat trolling them by paying to be spectators (of them getting beat up). I agree. I thought this episode came close to a jump the shark moment, but not quite. I would have tried to push the envelope and had Mordecai and Rigby enter a dwarf tossing competition, but they have to provide their own dwarf so they enlist the help of Buttonwillow McButtonwillow.
