16. Elias Vs. King Corbin

This was so bad it was unbelievable. And not remotely in that fun way anybody will reminisce about years later.

Elias and King Baron went nearly ten minutes in an empty Performance Center for an audience of less than one. Vince McMahon himself may not have even been watching this, depending on exactly how many people were permitted to be backstage in Gorilla as this show was going on. And if not for him, who on earth got a g*ddamn thing out of this.

You've got to feel for the families of Corbin and Elias after this. A match so f*cking invisible that it might have been one of the WrestleMania ringsiders, two wrestlers not famed for their arsenal of poppers did exactly what anybody would have expected of either of them before the babyface d*ckehead pinned the heel d*ckhead with a handful of tights after both of them were forced to ignore how Corbin's attempted murder the other week didn't really work.

This happened during a time where the bulk of the world wasn't even permitted to leave the house - it's surely the only world that would have welcomed it?
