He was matched into an extremely rough dog, pushing 2 lb, which means against a bigger dog his lack of athleticism was even a bigger hurdle. So Screaing Icon took a beating for over an hour, but he stayed with it, fucking that dog's muzzle up from the bottom, wrecking his teeth, and eventually mounted a comeback. Even though he could not stand, Screaming Icon ran not 1, not 2, but 3 falling-down scratches, finally pulling it off to win in 1:20, showing exceptional gameness.
2 weeks later, with no time to recover from his previous injuries, Screaming Icon was hooked again ... and was put in keep, still limping, still with wounds ... and matched in to Gr Ch Bugsy, this time a 4-lb bigger dog, even further hampering Screaming Icon's lack of talent (not to mention his lack of recovery). It was no contest, and Screaming Icon got brutalized and eventually hung it up ... getting labeled "a cur" ... but IMO his owner earned the label of "fucking idiot."
