Talk about it here.

This was awesome! Some highlights include Brody no-selling all of Babas offense as usual, Wild Bill totally whiffing on a stage dive during the weird spot where everyone is ramming someone (I couldnt tell who) in the corner. It was a great idea but right when he jumped, very hilarious. Another highlight is Billy Robinson working Babas back with headbutts setting up his elimination. The psychology here is really cool, with all the remaining participants piling on whoever takes a big move to eliminate them. Its something that they stick with to the end of the match. Tenryu wins, which isnt surprising, but Dutch Mantell being in the final two was surprising.
