5. "Admiral" said that the admiral = yonko debate will be restarted
Don't forget sandman's hint yesterday too.

 
True.
That's why these more "subtle" instances , like a "dream", make more sense than a shadow spawn or a legit magical lich necromancer dude doing it.

Wargs still existed, the 3-eyed raven, etc.
It's not impossible
I just find the "orchestrated tournament" plot way more believable knowing what we know re: Rhaegar, Aerys, the Seven Kingdoms, and Targaryen succession at that time

I thought Loras vs Gregor was already the final
Nah. Loras vs Sandor was supposed to be the final but Loras gave Sandor the win because Sandor saved him. So the Hound was the first place finisher at the Hand’s tourney.

Another interesting detail is that Gregor is always wanked to the moon but when he and Sandor fought, Sandor perfectly blocked every one of Gregor’s blows flawlessly and didn’t even attack him back. Sandor was also not wearing a helmet and Gregor kept going for power-strikes on Sandor’s head, and Sandor not only blocked every blow but didn’t even attack back.

The Hound is seriously Martin’s goat in writing and strength.
