3. Constant Struggle

The running gag involving Elias and his inability was pretty decently done, giving us a pissed villain and an easy way to put him in a situation.

Each time, Elias was introduced and got a couple weeks out before he would be cut off mid-sentence, only for someone huge to walk out. Guys like the Authors of Pain, Braun Strowman and Bobby Lashley all came to the ring while the troubadour tried to play. Elias was angry, but he wasn’t dumb enough to start something with any of them, so he just seethed.

And that made for an amusing running gag for the program, which once in a while is a pretty fun deal.
