MOTYC: The Elimination Chamber match for the WWE Title at Elimination Chamber - John Cena (C) vs AJ Styles vs Dean Ambrose vs Bray Wyatt vs Baron Corbin vs The Miz

The PPV was average at best but the main event was fantastic and the final stretch was just great with an awesome ending.

I'm down with this, especially since the right guy won.

e: VVV Also that. It never looked like the disorganized clusterfuck the EC can devolve into sometimes. The flow of the match was excellent.

It won't win and it shouldn't but I'm glad to see the 2017 elimination chamber on that list. Not only did the right guy win but it was the best EC match I've ever seen. All six of the performers had time to shine and it never looked like the messy clusterfuck those matches often become.

As for what's gonna win the year, well... if anything tops Okada/Omega this year I'll mark out so hard my brain may explode.

The Naito/Tanhashi matches that immediately preceded each Omega/Okada match were better every time.

I might agree if Omega wasn't my favorite wrestler right now.

Not just the first defense of Kenny's US Title, but a rematch of his G1 upset loss to Juice. Here's a shocking revelation for you all - Kenny Omega is an amazing loving wrestler.

Third, and uh, yeah. I wasn't kidding when I said he's probably my favorite in the entire industry right now.

It had problems but it was goddamn FUN enough I'll HM it.

I'll go for HM on this. It was stupid as poo poo at times but man, that poo poo was just really fun to watch. The whole thing was scripted to death and some of it was 100% silly but it was silly in a way that made me smile, laugh, and enjoy myself for a main event like I haven't in months.

:negative:

I hate to say this but yes, nth. It was so loving bad and it almost hurts my brain how you can do such a terrible job with the amount of talent that was in the ring.

Anyone remember Zayn/Nakamura from NXT last year? Y'know, probably the best match WWE had that didn't involve AJ Styles? And now we've come to this. loving sad.

seek this poo poo out god drat

3rd. Smackdown already had the better tag team roster but this made it more apparently obvious. It's also magnified by the lack of Ambrose on Raw.
