Excellent show! A Battle Royal is always a rockin' addition... Very surprised at how early Andre got eliminated (or that he didn't win the whole thing, to be honest)... Entertaining!

Yeah, was shocked that Andre was eliminated early! Like you said, I figured he would be the last man standing and had a storyline (gasp!) ready...HOWEVER, Andre ran into Jervis CottonBelly early and the Gentleman powned the Giant!

Awesome win for The Batiri! They are definitely my favorite Trios team and it's great seeing them take the gold!

And 3.0 get DQ'd in their big chance against the WWA World Tag Team Champions... Probably just as well... Ain't no beating Dem Boys anyhow... Great stuff!
