Battle Royal
We come back from commercial and once again cut back to the Hall of Fame commentator Joe Hoffman.
Joe Hoffman: Welcome back folks and I can tell you…the fans here in Manchester are beyond frustrated with the lack of in-ring action so far tonight. That is about to change however as it is time for our battle royal.
The feed cuts away from a hard shot of Joe to an overhead shot of the ring where we see that it is filled up with wrestlers who will by vying to be victorious and earn and title shot of their choosing. Standing outside of the ring on different sides of the ring are referees Joel Hortega, Matt Boettcher and Scott Stevens.
Joe Hoffman: As customary the referees are outside the ring to help confirm when someone is eliminated….which can only happen if you are tossed over the top rope and BOTH feet hit the arena floor. We go until there is only one person standing.
Senior referee, Matt Boettcher, signals for the bell and the start of the match and we are underway!!
Inside the ring we see almost all the wrestlers turn towards one man….a man that was victorious earlier tonight…..and they begin stalking him.
It does not take long as the men rush towards the man, Bobby Dean, and they quickly lift him up and toss him over the top rope.
Joe Hoffman: Well credit will go to Xander Azula there for eliminating Bobby Dean. I am sure that will make a Top 5 list somewhere.
Bobby lands hard on the arena floor and looks up and motions towards Cancer Jiles who can only shrug and hold his hands up as if to let Bobby know it “wasn’t me”.
Jiles barely finishes the shrug before his face turns to surprise as he is grabbed by the back of the head and sent flying over the top rope and lands awkwardly on top of Bobby…..who obviously was not quick enough to move out of the way.
Stevens, in position, motions that Jiles is NOT eliminated however as Jiles body was able to not hit the floor and his feet have YET to touch the arena floor.
The crowd is buzzing as the realization comes across the face of Jiles that he is not eliminated and he screams at Bobby not to move.
But like with most things Bobby fucks it up and starts to sit up and as he does Jiles falls off of him and his feet sadly touch the arena floor.
Jiles smacks the arena floor in frustration turns to see who tossed him and it is none other than Brian Hollywood.
Joe Hoffman: Boy we almost had one of those memorable moments where someone was about to get eliminated but then somehow, some way, make their way back into the match……..but not tonight. Two quick eliminations nevertheless….which bodes well for everyone else.
The action cuts back inside the ring where we see the two men with the early eliminations, Xander Azula and Brian Hollywood staring at each other. There is only a slight pause before the two men begin throwing haymakers at each other.
The fans nearest that side of the ring are jumping up and down with excitement as Azula and Hollywood are just dropping BOMBS on each other. The two men show no signs of slowing down and in fact their punches begin to be thrown even harder and faster. The hard cameraman outside of the ring zooms in at the action and we see that both men are busted open.
Finally the punches begin to slow and Hollywood delivers a desperation knee to the gut of Azula and quickly picks up the man in a powerbomb position and turns to toss him from the ring…..
Joe Hoffman: Hollywood has him up!!!!!!!! THERE THEY GO!!!!!!!!
Both Hollywood and Azula topple over the top rope and fall hard to the arena floor. The cameras quickly turn back towards the ring and we see Bobbinette Carey getting back up and pulling herself up with the aid of the ropes….smiling from ear to ear.
The High Octane Vision screen, above the entrance ramp, comes to life and we see a replay of Bobbinette running across the ring and nailing Hollywood in the back of the head with a dropkick that subsequently sent both him and Azula over the top rope and to their eliminations.
Joe Hoffman: Bobbinette with a double elimination!!! The HOW Hall of Famer is smiling like a black in the light Chesire Cat funko pop. What a moment.
The action cuts quickly back to the ring and we see Scottywood, who was sitting in the far corner recouping, look up at the HOV and at the mere sight of Carey he stands up and charges at his fellow Hall of Famer, former friend, and the person that cost him the World Championship.
Joe Hoffman: This is going to be UGLY!!!!!
Scottywood is almost reaches Carey before she turns to see the Hardcore Artist coming at her. There is not enough time for her to do anything however as Scottywood nails her with the most powerful clothesline we have seen since some dude from Texas hit his Western Lariat.
Carey’s head snaps backwards awkwardly and as he turns upside down we can see the panic over her face as she falls to the arena floor.
As her body crumbles to the floor she has no time to pick herself up as his own momentum from the move also sent Scottywood over the top rope.
Joe Hoffman: Scottywood’s HATE for Carey just cost him this match…..but I do not think he cares to be honest. What a clothesline…..and NOW Scotty has mounted Carey on the outside and he is destroying her with punches.
Boettcher, Hortega and Stevens all rush over and tackle Scottywood off of Carey and hold the Hall of Famer down as the EPU quickly rush down the ramp and get between Scottywood and a now bloody Bobbinette Carey.
The referees relinquish Scottywood to the EPU and the HATE filled man is led up the entrance ramp and to the back as HOW medics tend to Carey.
Joe Hoffman: It is looking like Shark Week here already with the amount of blood coming out of the forehead of Carey. It is hard to feel sorry for her after what she did to Scotty….but wow…that was hard to watch.
We cut back into the ring where we see David Noble nail Darin Zion with a forearm smash sending Zion back into the far turnbuckle. Noble follows up with another one and as Zion tries to cover up the HOW rookie nails him with an uppercut.
Zion appears out on his feet as Noble leans him against the turnbuckles and backs ups a few steps and then rushes towards Zion and leaps…..
Joe Hoffman: David Noble going for his Rise Up jumping knee finisher…….and one has to WONDER does he not know that the World Champion and High Octane Hall of Famer AND Son of GOD, Michael Lee Best, has made knee’s famous around here?
But there is no answer to that rhetorical question as we see Noble has indeed jumped to execute his finisher but as he does he doesn’t land it on Zion…..but instead on the top turnbuckle as Zion quickly slumped down to the canvas and ducked out of getting his head knocked off.
Noble backs up and clutches at his knee but that does not last long as Zion nails him with a quick drop kick to the damaged knee which drops Noble down to the canvas.
Zion staggers back up to his feet and pulls Noble to his feet and nails him with a snap suplex which sends Noble flying and landing directly under the bottom rope.
Joe Hoffman: Folks we only have a few folks left in the ring and Noble is in some serious trouble here.
Zion pulls Noble up from the canvas, with the ring ropes between them, and he goes to nail Noble with a right hand but the HOW rookie blocks it and nails Zion with his own right hand.
Zion staggers backwards and as he does he is spun around and he barely has his eyes open to see who spun him when he sees two fingers coming right at his eyes.
Jatt Starr delivers his JATTARACTS eye pokes and quickly grabs Zion by the back of the head and tosses him towards the ropes.
Noble, seeing Zion coming, grabs the top rope and falls down to the canvas and Zion goes flying over the top rope and to his elimination.
Noble slowly rolls back inside the ring and as he does his legs are grabbed by the waiting Jatt Starr.
Jatt spins around and quickly executes his JATTAPULT catapult and Noble too goes flying over the top rope to his elimination.
Joe Hoffman: Double Elimination by Jatt Starr!!! This man will do WHATEVER is needed and trust me I have seen it ALL over the years. Well done to the Hall of Famer and folks we are nearing the end of this match now…….
…….and closer to the end of the match we come as Jatt is never able to see the attack coming his way.
Starr, leaning over the top rope down at the two men he just eliminated, should have known better to leave his back to the middle of the ring in a battle royal….but here we are.
We see the boot connect with the back of Jatt’s head and the HOW Hall of Famer goes over the top rope and falls directly on the men he just eliminated.
The boot is resting on the top rope and as the HOV shows the replay we see that Arthur Pleasant just nailed Jatt with his single leg dropkick that he likes to call Provocation.
Joe Hoffman: Wow…what an elimination for Pleasant there. Last time we saw Arthur in a match it was at War Games…..and let’s just say……the man is NOT a fan of this bigger elimination matches but credit where credit is due…he just eliminated an original HOW Hall of Famer.
We cut to an overhead shot of the ring and we see the final two wrestlers in tonight’s battle royal.
Joe Hoffman: Here we go folks. The last two competitors. The winner of this gets a title shot of their choosing. I CANNOT wait to see how this plays out.
Arthur Pleasant turns to see a recouping Jace Parker Davidson leaning on the far ropes.
The two men start to walk towards each other as the final moments of this Battle Royal begin.
The cameras focus on Jace starting towards the middle of the ring but as we see Arthur start towards the middle of the ring we see Jatt Starr grab Pleasant’s feet and the man falls face first down to the canvas.
Jace, no longer walking but running, hustles towards Pleasant and jumps up in the air and nails Pleasant with his Bend the Knee curb stomp finisher.
Pleasant’s head hits the canvas in an awkard position and the man goes lip.
Jace looks out at Jatt and nods.
Joe Hoffman: We were THIS CLOSE to seeing Pleasant and Jace tear the house down but Jatt was not going to have it!!!
Jace bends down and slowly pulls Pleasant up to his feet. JPD slowly pulls the dead weight of the 6’3” 220 pounds of Pleasant, which is anything but pleasant for Jace, up and positions the man on his shoulders.
Jace carries the man fireman’s carry style back towards the ropes and as the crowd stands as one we see JPD unceremoniously dump Pleasant over the top rope.
As the man’s feet hit the floor, Matt Boettcher signals for the bell, and the Manchester crowd begins cheering loudly as the bell begins to ring.
Bryan McVay: WINNER OF THE BATTLE ROYAL AND TITLE SHOT OF HIS CHOOSING…..JACE….PARKER DAVIDSOOOOOOOONNNNNNN!!!!!!!
Jace holds both arms up in the air as the crowd gives him a standing ovation.
Joe Hoffman: Jace needed this win and without the help of Jatt Starr one has to wonder if he would have pulled it off. Either way, congrats to Jace, and we will be right back folks.
But the commercial doesn’t last long.
We come back live and we see Jace still in the middle of the ring with his arms raised and playing to the crowd.
The crowd’s cheers grow even louder as they see the man behind Jace rip off his shirt……
A referee’s shirt.
Joe Hoffman: No…..No….NOOOOOOO!!!!
The man charges Jace from behind and grabs him from the back of the head and rushes him towards the ropes and throws him violently over the top rope.
Joe Hoffman: OH MY GOD!!!!!
For the second time the bell rings but this time for the final time.
The crowd is half in shock and half going crazy as the camera zooms in on the OFFICIAL winner of the battle royal…..
Bryan McVay: WINNER OF THE MATCH……….SCOOOOOTTTTTT STEEEVVEEEEEENNNNNNSSS!!!!
Joe Hoffman: Unbelievable. Scott Stevens ripped off his referee shirt and eliminated Jace Parker Davidson to win the match. Un freaking believable!!!!
The feed and show goes to black as Stevens is seen standing on the top of the turnbuckle to end Refueled 82.
