It protected the Authors of Pain in loss while keeping SAnitY looking dangerous. None of them come out of this looking bad.

Second. Sanity worked surprisingly well as scrappy babyfaces and it was even good beyond the modest slobberknocker expectations I had. Alexander Wolfe cleaned house? It was like the first thing he's ever done and it was good??

It was the worst match on the card but it was still really good.

Anyway, I'll give the tag title match another HM

WMOTYC: Big Cass vs. Big Show (I'll be surprised if Cass is still on TV in 3 months. What a flop)

I love Rusev but there was nothing bad about that. Orton's gimmick is that he hits his move out of nowhere. Something on the show had to be short because there were 1000 matches. No one will remember that match.

I 2nd the MOTYC for the Fatal 4Way. It obviously isn't the best match of 2017 but it had a unique quality that makes it a classic. Braun looked amazing as always

Agreed. They are two of the most solid workers on the roster, but I have not been enjoying their matches together very much. They just don't have great chemistry, imo. I don't love Styles Clash as a finisher, but it looks especially goofy when Owens takes it.

Also, after the second ref bump on Shane, I was starting to think that they were just going to keep accidentally beating the poo poo out of him.

Not a bad match, just underwhelming.

The Empire Elbow needs to come off a hot tag. But Enzo escaping, and dying, was funny. No nom.

So Discovery Wrestling just put up their show from April with the main event of The Elite vs. BT Gunn, Joe Coffey and Lewis Girvan up on YouTube. You can see it here, and I highly recommend it since it was easily the best wrestling show I've ever been to. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-s-AKjv5_OE In particular, I'd like to highlight a couple of amazing matches:

MOTYC: Marty Scurll vs. Will Ospreay, Discovery Wrestling - The Elite, 4/12 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-s-AKjv5_OE&t=2130s)

Utterly incredible match that had me on the edge of my seat the whole time. Both wrestlers put up an incredible performance, and I'd never seen any of Scurll's work before but it seriously convinced me to look up his other matches. I love him now. Ospreay was his usual flippy self, and just as well. I'd say it's better than the BOTSJ match, which was super good as a character piece introducing Scurll to Japanese audiences, but wasn't as good as an even-handed wrestling match than this one.

HM: The Elite (Kenny Omega, Matt Jackson and Nick Jackson) vs. BT Gunn, Joe Coffey and Lewis Girvan, Discovery Wrestling - The Elite, 4/12 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-s-AKjv5_OE&t=5738s)

Wonderful match. Three of the best wrestlers in Scotland against the second best wrestler in the world and the actual best tag team in the world. I really want to see them here again.
