"Money match" gross was hype. I'll miss seeing him.
Here's a Gross memory that NO ONE ELSE has. I was on a private Skype call with 16bit in 2014 talking about Catwoman strategies against Bane. And we started telling stories. And I brought up how they mentioned on The Kombat Tomb Podcast that Gross had declared at a 2012 tournament that he had beaten Pig Of The Hut. And everyone in the hotel called bullshit, saying that never happened. They never played. His exact words were, "I beat Pig Of The Hut."
I speak English and Spanish, so I explained that Gross was probably THINKING "a Pig le gano", spoken in the present tense. But the present tense of Spanish can be used to express conditional thoughts. So, what translates to "I beat Pig", in the present, is actually him saying "I WOULD beat Pig." Hypothetically.
And because "beat" in English is the same in the past and present, everyone interpreted him as saying that he had already beaten Pig, when he was really trying to say that he WOULD beat him if they fought. And everyone blew him up for it, because they didn't hear what he thought he was saying.
Funny story.
