It wasnt the outcome folks wanted - the Amway Center crowd made that perfectly clear with a loud NO ONE LIKES YOU chant at Authors of Pain - but a well told story presented Akam & Rezar as nigh unstoppable. Which is why, despite some crowd-pleasing teamwork between bitter rivals The Revival and #DIY, Paul Ellerings men are leaving Orlando with those new tag belts.
There are almost too many cool spots and great storytelling beats to mention. But one that will go down in the history of the brand is this, where Dash & Dawson first came to Johnny Gargano & Tommaso Ciampas aid to put Rezar through a table at ringside...
They also teamed up to try to get Akam to submit after that, but his partner recovered and muscled through Ciampa & Wilder to break up the crossface/Figure 4 combo Dawson & Gargano had on the Author:
Ending their partnership (of course it was Dawson who did it - The Revival hint at a face turn repeatedly, but cant completely change their heelish ways) ended up resulting in #DIY being eliminated first. The Top Guys fought hard after that and survived some amazing nearfalls, but after a devastating Super Collider, Dawson couldnt get his shoulder off the mat.
Hate them all you want. AoP isnt going anywhere. Could The Revival or #DIY?

In week 12 of the liga mx clausura 2017, Toluca will host Necaxa at the Estadio Nemesio Diez this Sunday, April 2, 2017 (10:00 AM Pacific). The match will be between two teams on opposite sides of the table and should present an exciting clash.
Toluca has been a solid team in this Clausura 2017, currently in third place with 19 points, only a point behind Chivas of Guadalajara in first. Most recently the diablos defeated Leon, 3-2 away from home, but before that game had lost two consecutive games against Chivas and Puebla. The loss to Puebla was especially worrying as Toluca lost 3-1 at home against a much weaker opponent.
The loss to Chivas was not any better as Toluca was nonexistent in the match, not appearing in the 2-0 loss at all. Hernan Cristantes side does have a lot to prove still in this tournament, and this game should serve as a test, as they should be able to win the game.
Necaxa has been one of the worse teams in this Clausura 2017, currently in 16th place with only 10 points. The most recent result for the rayos was a 2-2 draw to Chiapas at home, which turned out to be a lucky result for Alfonso Sosa. A goal by Edson Puch and a 77th-minute own goal by Felix Araujo proved to be the defining moments that gave Necaxa the point at home.
Edson Puch is still the main player on Necaxa, having scored three goals in seven games as a starter. The defense will prove to be the defining factor for Necaxa in this match, due to Alfonso Sosas style of play. The back line has been shaky at times this tournament and needs to improve to get a favorable result in this match. The game should be a hard-fought encounter with neither team wanting to fall.
The Toluca vs Necaxa match will be broadcast this Sunday, April 2 at 10:00 AM Pacific:TV Schedule: Univision DeportesWatch Live Online: Sling TV (Watch 7 Days Free), Fubo TV (Watch 7 Days Free)
Tom Brady is still taking a beating even in the offseason.
The New England Patriots quarterback posted a photo of him and Michael Strahan as the former New York Giants defensive end jokingly wraps him up to try and tackle him.
"Take it easy, @michaelstrahan! It"s the offseason!!!! #ReligionOfSports." said Brady in his Instagram caption.

Brady and Strahan are both co-producers for thetelevision show "Religion Of Sports" where they highlight how sports areintegrated in different cultures.
Earlier this offseason, Strahan admitted what it"s like to hit the quarterback while speaking atWWD"s Men"s Summit Wear in Brooklyn, New York.
Youve never lived unless youve hit Tom Brady, he said.Not just Brady but any quarterback.
Like, you hit a guy, hit a grown man, and you hear the life and the breath leave his body. Theres something very empowering about that. Then, you hit Brady, you sack him and you land on Brady. And you get up and youre, like, Boy, I see what Gisele is feeling. You know, I just laid down with Tom Brady. That was cool.
The defensive end got the better of Brady and the Patriots in 2007 when he and the Giants defeated the previously undefeated team in Super Bowl XLII before retiring from the NFL.

The Best & Weirdest of APRIL FOOLS 2017 - The Know Not A Prank Bro News
April Fools Day falls on a Saturday this year. Seemingly worried that the internet goes away on weekends, a bunch of companies rolled out their April Fools jokes a few days early.
Some of them are really, really good. Some of them are not.
Heres our round-up of the ones worth a laugh, chuckle or, at the very least, a mildly amused puff of air through your nose.
Well update this gallery throughout the weekend, as more are bound to roll out on you know, actual april fools day. click that right arrow key to peruse the gallery, or just scroll if youre on mobile.
Takeis genius April Fools prank in which he said he was going to run for Congress against embattled California Rep. Devin Nunes.
Surely disappointing many potential voters, Takei revealed early Saturday that his announcement was a joke with a photo of himself holding a sign that said, Gotcha!
In the same tweet, he urged people to vote for real candidate Jon Ossoff in a special election on April 18, saying, Lets flip Congress in 18.
With what is going on now in the country, I couldnt stand by any longer merely as a citizen. I knew I had to take a bigger stand. So thats why Im running for Congress. My hope is to challenge Devin Nunes for his seat in 2018, Takei said.
Nunes, the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, has come under intense fire for his handling of the investigation into possible Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election and ties to President Trump.
People are tired of his a*s-kissing of Trump. Can I say that? I think I can. These days you can say pretty much anything and not get in trouble, Takei added.
Taking that latter statement one step further on Saturday, the social media maven with more than 13 million followers on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook tweeted this morsel on Saturday:
Watch Mama June"s Family"s Shocked Reactions to Her "From Not to Hot" Transformation
The twisted tale of Here Comes Honey Boo Boo star June Shannons relationship with a convicted s*x offender just keeps getting worse.
In a new report, complete with photos, published by the National Enquirer, Lee Uncle Poodle Thompson, who appeared on the show with his family, is claiming Shannon aka Mama June let her daughter Alana "Honey Boo Boo" Thompson snuggle in the same bed as Mark McDaniel, who went to jail for 10 years after he molested Shannons older daughter when she was a child.
Uncle Poodle shared details from a group trip he went on with his fianc, Shannon, McDaniel and Honey Boo Boo. He said while in Cherokee, North Carolina, Mama June introduced McDaniel as her gay friend, and let Honey Boo Boo hop into the bed she and McDaniel were sharing.
When I woke up in the morning Alana was fast asleep crammed in bed with June and Mark! Uncle Poodle told The Enquirer. It looked like they were cuddling!
Thompson added that even though Shannon claimed McDaniel was gay, he saw the two kissing while on the vacation and at one point they disappeared together for several hours.
Upon Shannons return he added She went into graphic detail about Marks stamina and privates, and she was doing it right in front of Alana!
Uncle Poodle fumed, June needs to wake up and put her kids safety before her own sexual needs!
Thompson has denied reports that he is hoping to land his own reality show now that TLC has given Honey Boo Boo the boot. He has also spoken out against Shannon and her daughter Lauryns claims that he was selling stories to the media.
Various outlets have also reported that Thompson planned to seek custody of Honey Boo Boo. On Tuesday, he replied to a Twitter user who asked if he was trying to get custody of the beauty pageant star with a simple no.
Honey Boo Boo and her family rose to fame on TLCs Toddlers and Tiaras and their spinoff series premiered in August 2012. In recent months the show had seen rating decline and TLC promptly canceled the show after photo surfaced of Mama June with McDaniel.
