Loving Conway Jr. dancing to another one bites the dust, and refers to the faces as the Soul Patrol. Tully pinballing early for the faces. We get some great stooging from the heels. JYD is in and is dominating Gino and Tully. Gino working over JYD. Tully now is working over the Dog. Tiger in and beating on the Duo. I love the boxing spots. Gino is tremendous showing ass.They finally cut off Tiger. He's FIP now and the Duo is in an out with tags. Big drop kick by Gino. Tiger taking a beating. Tully's turn to wear Tiger down. A hot tag the refs don't see. The crowd is pissed. Bock is out and pulls JYD off the apron. Crowd is really pissed. Tully with a piledriver. JYD is bleeding. Tiger is fighting to get to JYD. This is a great heat segment. Tag to JYD, and he's pissed and the crowd is with him. A big thump gets 2 on Tully. Double noggin knocker for 3. Bock is out and we get a heated postmatch. 4* The angle with JYD really added some juice to the match. All 4 guys really played their role well.

This was really fun. The Duo was there to be destroyed and man, JYD was so over and looked like a star. I generally dislike stalling (especially in 15 minutes matches), but it worked here as the fans got really frustrated about the heel's antics, which only made the finish more satisfying. Nuclear heat and plenty objects got thrown in the ring during the heat segment on Conway, then a bloody JYD got the hot tag and it all went smoothly. Loved the multiple bodyslams on both Gino and Blanchard from JYD, we also got the babyface winning and the crowd loved it. Not a masterpiece by any means, but such a smart and well done piece of business, everything made sense (like keeping JYD away from the action and teasing the hot tag for so long)
