Hello again, and welcome back to the Big Fight! Things are just about to really heat up here; we're gearing up for the Big Fight battle royal in a few moments. The rules are simple; much like other battle royals used by competing organizations, thirty wrestlers are entered, but only two wrestlers will start in the ring. Every two minutes, a new wrestler will enter the ring, in a pre-determined random order, until every participant has been in the ring. The wrestlers will eliminate one another from the match via over-the-top eliminations until only one is left... and that one will be the winner of the Big Fight and the new VCW Intercontinental Champion. With that said, let's get ready to do it now!
"Through The Never" by Metallica begins playing over the arena sound system, and the crowd cheers as Tim Bell, the number-one entry into the Big Fight, steps out of the backstage entrance! He's in a rather unenviable position here, but perhaps if he can use his skill and conditioning to outlast the other twenty-nine men, he could have a shot at winning this battle royal. He seems stoic and determined as he climbs into the ring, determined not to let his poor luck in the draw stop him from his chance at the VCW Intercontinental Title. He turns to look to the backstage entrance, to see who got the number two spot...
"Highway To Hell" by AC/DC kicks on, and that brings out Butch Manson of Hell's Bikers. Like Tim Bell, he's in a bad position here, and he's not handling it quite so calmly... he's visibly upset, stopping to scream curses at the fans and threaten them as he makes his way to the ring. He's clearly in a bad mood, and it's hard to blame him. Like Tim Bell, he could still outlast everyone to win the Big Fight, but at this point, it's not looking likely; this is one hell of a disadvantage. He climbs into the ring, and the bell rings... the Big Fight begins now!!
For the VCW Intercontinental Title:
The Big Fight
Thirty-Man Battle Royal
Butch Manson angrily steps forward and nails Tim Bell with a series of punches, catching him somewhat by surprise. He backs Tim Bell into the ropes, and whips him to the other side... but Tim Bell ducks a clothesline as he runs in, then bounces off the ropes behind him. Butch Manson turns around, just in time for Tim Bell to catch him with a cross bodypress that sends him down! Tim Bell gets up and whips Butch Manson into the corner, then nails him with a few kneelifts and brings him out with a monkey flip! Butch Manson's reeling at this offense as he gets up, but Tim Bell just runs forward and takes him down with a dropkick!
Butch Manson gets up, but now Tim Bell puts him in a headlock and tries to wrestle him to the mat... this might just be a bad idea, given that the idea is to throw the opponent out of the ring, not mat wrestle him. Butch Manson quickly powers him up and takes him down with a belly-to-back suplex, then bounces off the ropes and nails Tim Bell with a clothesline as he gets back up! Tim Bell goes down, and Butch Manson runs at him again, taking him down with another clothesline! Tim Bell hits the mat again, and once again Butch Manson charges... and this time, Tim Bell side-steps, then grabs Butch Manson and uses his own momentum to pitch him out over the top rope! Butch Manson's gone from this match already! (Butch Manson was eliminated in 0:01:53.) Tim Bell's alone in the ring, but not for long... the two minutes are almost up, and the crowd begins counting along... FIVE!! FOUR!! THREE!! TWO!! ONE!!
It's... who is that!? Pale skin, blue hair, blue shirt and pants... that's former SMCW wrestler Magnus, and he's on his way to the ring! He's one of the unannounced participants! Tim Bell seems a little surprised to see him here, but quickly regains his composure as Magnus slides into the ring. Magnus begins stalking Tim Bell slowly, looking for an opening, and he lunges at a leg, looking for a quick takedown, but Tim Bell backs up and puts on a front facelock! Magnus struggles for a while in the front facelock, then finally backdrops out of it and runs into the ropes, and comes off to nail Tim Bell with a leg lariat as he gets up! Magnus hauls Tim Bell up by the hair and the back of his trunks, and tries to pitch him over the top rope, but Tim Bell blocks it with a few elbowsmashes.
Magnus changes tactics and hooks his arms for a tiger suplex, but Tim Bell hooks the ropes with his feet, blocking the attempt, then snaps his head back to catch Magnus with a headbutt to the nose! Magnus releases Tim Bell and staggers back, and Tim Bell drills him with a few punches, then whips him to the ropes... no, Magnus reverses it, and runs into the other side! Magnus comes off with a leaping forearm smash... but Tim Bell ducks, and Magnus wipes out on the mat! Tim Bell measures Magnus as he gets up... and pops him in the jaw with a savate kick that knocks him backwards over the top rope! Tim Bell just disposed of Magnus as well! (Magnus was eliminated in 0:03:47.) He has a little time to catch his breath, but the clock's running down again, and the crowd's counting... FIVE!! FOUR!! THREE!! TWO!! ONE!!
It's Julian Page! The crowd explodes into a loud round of boos as Julian Page comes out of the backstage area... and he's advancing on the ring a little nervously, apparently not wanting to face Tim Bell when he's on this kind of roll so far. He climbs into the ring cautiously... and Tim Bell meets him on the way in, hammering him with punches and kneelifts immediately! He whips Julian Page to the corner, then waits on him as he staggers out and takes him down with a massive backdrop! Julian Page begins scooting backwards, begging off, but Tim Bell won't have any of it, hauling him to his feet and giving him a nasty snap suplex! Julian Page cries out in pain, but Tim Bell stays on the attack, pulling him up and giving him a second snap suplex! He pulls him up again... and Julian Page gives him a low blow!!
That low blow was perfectly legal in the Big Fight, where there are no disqualifications, and it just stopped Tim Bell's offense short. Julian Page takes him down with a kneebreaker, then drops a few elbows into his knee... this isn't really the time or place for submission wrestling, but he's trying it anyway! Now he's putting on a figure-four leglock, and immediately grabbing the ropes... and there's nothing to stop him from doing that in this match! With no disqualifications, Julian Page can use the ropes for leverage as much as he wants! Tim Bell's struggling and thrashing around, but he's not going to be able to turn the figure-four leglock over with Julian Page holding the ropes. He could be in a bad, bad situation here... he's looking for a way out, but there isn't one! But the clock's running low again! The crowd counts... FIVE!! FOUR!! THREE!! TWO!! ONE!!
It's Devaccio Pola!! The crowd erupts into cheers as Devaccio Pola stalks out of the backstage area, then turns and charges the ring, sliding inside! Julian Page releases the figure-four leglock and stands up to meet him, but he's uprepared for the onslaught that Devaccio Pola brings, tearing into him with a quick series of hard, swift kicks... but Julian Page catches one of those kicks, and takes Devaccio Pola down with a dragon screw into a half Boston! The crowd boos, but Devaccio Pola reaches back and finds one of Julian Page's feet too far back, then grabs it and turns the hold over into a scorpion deathlock!! The crowd lets out a huge pop as Julian Page yells out in pain; he's very familiar with this hold! He's trapped in the scorpion deathlock, and now Tim Bell's up, and he climbs to the top turnbuckle a little gingerly on his wounded leg... then comes off with a flying legdrop to the back of Julian Page's head while he's in the scorpion deathlock, using his good leg for the impact!!
Julian Page goes limp, and Devaccio Pola gets up, then pulls him up and tries to toss him out of the ring, but Julian Page grabs the ropes and refuses to go over! Devaccio Pola goes behind him and tries to force him over... and Julian Page gets a leg up between his legs! Devaccio Pola doubles over, and Julian Page turns around then grabs his head... DDT!! Julian Page just dropped Devaccio Pola with a DDT... but now he's got Tim Bell to worry about, and Tim Bell tosses him into the corner and begins beating the hell out of him! Tim Bell whips him to a corner, and Julian Page staggers out... and Tim Bell whips him the other way... but Julian Page reverses it, and whips Tim Bell into Devaccio Pola just as he's standing up! Tim Bell collides with Devaccio Pola... and Devaccio Pola turns to stare at him angrily, not seeming to like that. Tim Bell looks like he's starting to explain what happened... but Devaccio Pola doesn't give him a chance, nailing him with a series of swift kicks! And the clock's running down again... FIVE!! FOUR!! THREE!! TWO!! ONE!!
Marty Jannetty steps out of the backstage entrance and begins jogging to the ring, to a mild pop from the crowd. Julian Page is standing back, watching Devaccio Pola tear into Tim Bell with a satisfied smirk on his face... and Marty Jannetty jumps him from behind! Marty Jannetty clobbers Julian Page with a few right hands, then whips him into the ropes. He lowers his head for a backdrop as Julian Page comes off the other side, but telegraphs it too much, and Julian Page grabs his head... DDT!! Julian Page planted Marty Jannetty with a DDT, and now he pitches him out of the ring. So much for that. (Marty Jannetty was eliminated in 0:08:28.) Meanwhile, on the other side of the ring, Devaccio Pola goes for a snap suplex on Tim Bell... but Tim Bell blocks it, then counters with a suplex of his own!
Tim Bell gets up and turns around... just in time for Julian Page to come forward and nail him with a kick to the midsection. He backs him into the corner and begins unloading on him with chops and jabs, then grabs his leg and brings him down with a dragon screw into a half Boston. Tim Bell grabs the ropes instinctively, but that doesn't do him any good... he's still caught in a half Boston, and there's nothing requiring Julian Page to break the hold! But now there is... Devaccio Pola's up, and he kicks Julian Page in the back of the head! Julian Page crumples to the mat, and Devaccio Pola drops a leg across the back of his head, then pulls him up and begins unleashing another rain of kicks upon his body, ending with a big spinning kick that takes him off his feet. Tim Bell's back up now, and he grabs Julian Page from behind as he gets up, then lifts him for a belly-to-back suplex... and Devaccio Pola puts his shoulder under the back of his neck, then curls an arm around him... and they drop him in a combination belly-to-back suplex/reverse neckbreaker! Julian Page just got flattened, but the clock's almost down... FIVE!! FOUR!! THREE!! TWO!! ONE!!
It's "Doctor" Dave Adams this time, and he quickly sheds his labcoat and runs to the ring, sliding inside. Devaccio Pola gets up to meet him with a kick to the head, but Dave Adams ducks, then picks Devaccio Pola up and bodyslams him to the mat! Devaccio Pola pops right back up, not about to sell a basic move like that, and Dave Adams catches him with a few kneelifts to the midsection, driving him back into the corner. Meanwhile, Tim Bell pulls Julian Page up and whips him to the opposite corner, then climbs up on top of him and unloads ten punches into his forehead as the crowd counts along. Devaccio Pola retaliates and gains control in his corner, and then Tim Bell and Devaccio Pola exchange a glance, and whip Dave Adams and Julian Page at each other, causing them to collide in the middle of the ring! They both go down, as the crowd lets out a huge pop!
Tim Bell grabs Dave Adams this time, picking him up by the waist from behind, then taking him down with a belly-to-belly suplex. Dave Adams gets up again, and this time Tim Bell whips him into the ropes, and throws a dropkick when he comes off... but Dave Adams stops short of the dropkick, and Tim Bell misses! Tim Bell quickly gets up, but Dave Adams is waiting for him with a kick to the midsection and a series of punches. He grabs a handful of Tim Bell's hair and drives him head-first into the turnbuckle a few times, then knees him in the midsection and hooks him in a front chancery... vertical suplex! And now he's putting on a standing headscissors... but Devaccio Pola takes a break from dominating Julian Page on the other side of the ring to come over and blast Dave Adams with a kick to the back of the head! Tim Bell backdrops him off, and he goes over the top rope... but manages to catch the ropes on his way down and lands sitting on the apron, then rolls back inside! And the clock's low again... FIVE!! FOUR!! THREE!! TWO!! ONE!!
A man with peroxide-blond hair steps out of the backstage entrance, and the crowd pops at first, thinking it's Ric Flair or Jimmy Lockman... but the pop dies quickly as they see it's only Primus, a former SMCW wrestler, and another one of the unannounced participants. He comes to the ring and climbs inside... and Tim Bell's waiting on him when he enters, nailing him with a series of punches! Primus tries to retaliate, but he's caught off-guard by Tim Bell's offense... but Julian Page comes from behind, having stunned Devaccio Pola with a low blow, and puts a stop to that with a clip to Tim Bell's knee that takes him down! Dave Adams goes over to prey upon Devaccio Pola in his stunned condition, as Julian Page begins stomping and kicking at Tim Bell's targeted leg.
Primus has recovered by now, and he joins Julian Page in a two-on-one assault against Tim Bell. They stomp and kick at each of his legs for a few seconds, then each grabs a leg and they turn him over... each man has a leg, and they've got him put in a double half Boston!! Tim Bell cries out in pain as he makes a futile attempt to struggle free... but Devaccio Pola just dropped Dave Adams with a kick, and he comes running up behind Primus and Julian Page, leaping over Tim Bell's fallen body and grabbing each of their heads under one of his arms as he flies through the air, taking them down with a double bulldog!! Both Primus and Julian Page are down from that, but Dave Adams is getting up... and Devaccio Pola whips him to a corner, then follows him in with a handspring elbow! He staggers out... and gets cut down to size by another kick to the head!! Devaccio Pola is the last man standing in the ring right now, but the clock's running down again... FIVE!! FOUR!! THREE!! TWO!! ONE!!
Here comes Desmond, the first Black Plague member to enter the Big Fight so far! He comes to the ring and steps inside, and Devaccio Pola immediately beats his chest and roars to the crowd, then begins assaulting Desmond with a flurry of kicks and punches. Desmond's bigger and fresher... but the sheer aggression of Devaccio Pola may just make up for that! Desmond staggers back against the ropes, and Devaccio Pola whips him to the other side, then nails him with a jumping spin kick to the face as he comes off! Primus gets back up, and Devaccio Pola gives him a few good, swift kicks to the midsection aas well, then hooks him and brings him down with a vertical suplex... but the numbers are beginning to pile up, and while Devaccio Pola attacks Primus, Julian Page and Dave Adams are up, and double-teaming Tim Bell on the other side of the ring.
Desmond's back up as well, and he comes from behind to nail Devaccio Pola as he pulls Primus up. Desmond and Primus exchange a glance, and it looks like maybe their common SMCW roots will be the source of an alliance here. No, it won't, because Primus just gouged Desmond in the eyes! Desmond staggers back, holding his eyes, and Primus begins unloading on him with a series of chops and punches... but Desmond suddenly stops selling them! He looks at Primus with a stare of primal rage in his eyes, then grabs him by the throat and pulls him up into a choke lift! Primus begins kicking and squirming helplessly in Desmond's iron grasp... but Devaccio Pola climbs to the top rope behind him, then comes off to nail Desmond in the back with a flying dropkick!! Desmond drops Primus and falls to the mat, and Primus gasps in relief, thanking Devaccio Pola for the save. Devaccio Pola nods and smiles... and kicks Primus in the face!! And the clock's low again... FIVE!! FOUR!! THREE!! TWO!! ONE!!
Here comes Jack Norman, another member of Hell's Bikers. He comes to the ring and climbs inside, and once again Devaccio Pola's aggressive nature seems to say "He's big and tough, so I want to fight him," because he rushes Jack Norman and starts assaulting him as well! But Jack Norman IS big and tough, and he manages to knock Devaccio Pola off his feet with a massive right hand after absorbing a few stiff blows. Devaccio Pola gets back up, undaunted, but Jack Norman continues clobbering him with massive right hands. Meanwhile, Desmond and Primus are continuing their battle, and Julian Page and Dave Adams are trying to throw Tim Bell out of the ring, but he just won't go over! They're about to get him over... but Devaccio Pola reverses a whip into the ropes from Jack Norman, and their efforts are disrupted as Jack Norman's massive bulk collides with them! Tim Bell goes over the top rope from the impact as well... but he manages to hang on, landing on the apron and rolling back in under the bottom rope.
Jack Norman staggers back, and Devaccio Pola nails him with a jumping spin kick that knocks him off his feet! Desmond's continuing to clobber Primus on the other side of the ring. Primus is reeling, and Desmond kicks tim in the midsection and hooks his head... OUTCAST!! That could have ended this... but Desmond turns around, just in time to see Devaccio Pola's boot connect sharply with his face! Desmond staggers back, but Jack Norman charges Devaccio Pola from behind... and Devaccio Pola moves! Jack Norman ends up nailing Desmond, who staggers back into the ropes, leaning against them precariously... and Devaccio Pola leaps up with another jumping spin kick, that sends Desmond spilling out over the top rope to the floor! (Desmond was eliminated in 0:17:42.) Devaccio Pola turns back to Jack Norman... and immediately gets mowed down by a massive clothesline! Jack Norman pulls Devaccio Pola up, then tosses him to the corner and nails him with a few massive right hands... but the clock's starting to run down again! FIVE!! FOUR!! THREE!! TWO!! ONE!!
It's Devon Storm!! A short time ago, he was wrestling in WCW as Crowbar, but now he's another one of the independent competitors in the Big Fight! He runs to the ring and jumps up on the apron, then springs up onto the top rope and leaps off to nail Dave Adams with a springboard cross bodypress on his way in! Dave Adams goes down under him, and Devon Storm begins raining down a series of punches on his face! But Primus is up from the Outcast now, and he pulls Devon Storm up, then backs him into a corner and begins nailing him with a series of chops! Meanwhile, Julian Page looks like he's almost ready to throw Tim Bell out of the ring... but once again, Tim Bell blocks, then nails him with an elbowsmash! Julian Page tries to fire back with a few jabs, but Tim Bell absorbs a couple, then blocks one and backs him into the corner, where he begins beating the living daylights out of him!
Julian Page staggers out of the corner... but Tim Bell just gives him an inverted atomic drop, then tosses him back into the corner... and now he's setting him up on the top turnbuckle! Tim Bell has Julian Page on the top turnbuckle, and he's climbing up with him. The crowd gets on his feet, and Tim Bell jumps up... TOP-ROPE FRANKENSTEINER!! Julian Page goes flying into the center of the ring, landing flat on his back after the Top-Rope Frankensteiner... but now Dave Adams rushes over and attacks Tim Bell before he can get up, clobbering him and kicking him in the knee! Across the ring, Jack Norman puts Devaccio Pola in a standing headscissors... POWER BOMB!! He just laid out Devaccio Pola with that power bomb, and now he's pulling him up by the throat... CHOKESLAM!! Devaccio Pola's ripe for the picking now, but the clock's almost down again as Jack Norman drags him towards the ropes... FIVE!! FOUR!! THREE!! TWO!! ONE!!
It's Salvaje Demonio!! Jack Norman has Devaccio Pola up, and is preparing to toss his limp carcass out of the ring... but Salvaje Demonio runs to the ring, jumps up on the apron, and immediately dropkicks Jack Norman from the apron, causing him to fall backwards under Devaccio Pola! Jack Norman shrugs him off angrily and gets up, as Salvaje Demonio jumps up again and springs to the top turnbuckle, then comes off to nail Jack Norman with a flying dropkick!! Jack Norman's down, and now Salvaje Demonio's crouched on top of him, punching away at him! Meanwhile, Devaccio Pola's starting to pull himself up... and so's Julian Page! They exchange a glance as they get up, and Devaccio Pola's face lights up in a predatory smile! Julian Page back up, begging for mercy, but Devaccio Pola's on him in an instant, battering him with more swift kicks and punches, then putting on a front chancery and bringing him down with a snap suplex!
Devaccio Pola stays on the attack as Julian Page gets up, whipping him into the corner, then running in to catch him with a spinning leg lariat as he staggers out. Julian Page pulls himself to his feet again, almost operating on reflex at this point... he may be out on his feet. Devaccio Pola doubles him over with a kick to the midsection, then measures him... GUILLOTINE KICK!! Julian Page has been reduced to a limp heap on the mat once again, and Devaccio Pola picks him up and begins trying to dump him over the top rope... but Primus, having stunned Devon Storm with an eye gouge, comes from behind and nails him with a low blow! Devaccio Pola drops Julian Page on the mat and doubles over, and Primus grabs him from behind and takes him down with a belly-to-back suplex. Meanwhile, across the ring, Dave Adams has Tim Bell down, and he's putting his injured leg in a figure-four leglock... but comes to find out that's a bad idea when Salvaje Demonio breaks away from Jack Norman to drop a knee across his head. Salvaje Demonio gets up... and Jack Norman nearly caves his chest in with a massive big boot!! The clock's running down again... FIVE!! FOUR!! THREE!! TWO!! ONE!!
It's Bass Rogers!! He's charging the ring, and there can be no doubting who he's after... his eyes are solidly locked on Jack Norman! He enters the ring, and meets Jack Norman in the middle of the ring, trading massive punches! He whips Jack Norman to a corner, then charges in with an avalanche... but Jack Norman lifts a huge boot up to meet him... but Bass Rogers stops short and grabs his leg! Holding his leg, he tosses him over the ropes near the corner, out to the apron... amazingly, Jack Norman lands on the apron on his feet, but a massive punch from Bass Rogers drops him to the floor! Jack Norman's out! (Jack Norman was eliminated in 0:22:24.) But Bass Rogers is just getting started... he strides across the ring, making a beeline for another long-time enemy, "Doctor" Dave Adams, and immediately spins him around by the hair and begins drilling him with hard punches!
Meanwhile, with Devaccio Pola preoccupied with Primus, Julian Page begins dragging himself to a corner, probably hoping to escape the sort of beatings he's been taking... but Devon Storm sees him now, and immediately begins going after him, drilling him with a series of punches in the corner. He sets him up on the top turnbuckle, then goes up after him... and it looks like Julian Page is in for another rude impact from the top turnbuckle. Devon Storm puts on a front chancery... and brings Julian Page down with a massive superplex! That may have just taken the last of the wind from his sails... Devon Storm grabs Julian Page, and begins dragging him to the corner, but Julian Page gives him a sudden low blow! There's actually life left in him after all! Across the ring, Devaccio Pola has Primus on the ropes now, and is measuring him for a huge kick to the head... but Primus ducks! Devaccio Pola's foot swings over the ropes, and Primus gives his other foot a little boost, causing him to straddle the ropes painfully! Primus takes a few shots at him, trying to knock him over the top rope to the outside... but Tim Bell comes from behind and clobbers Primus, taking Devaccio Pola out of immediate danger. But the clock's coming down again... FIVE!! FOUR!! THREE!! TWO!! ONE!!
Here comes Russel "The Muscle" Taylor! He runs to the ring, slapping the hands of any fans that don't recoil at his approach! He slides inside and begins hammering Bass Rogers with a series of punches... but Bass Rogers just roars angrily, turns around, slugs him in the gut, and casually pitches him over the top rope! There goes Russel... (Russel Taylor was eliminated in 0:24:13) Bass Rogers turns back around to continue assaulting Dave Adams... but meanwhile, on the other side of the ring, Devon Storm has Julian Page nearly out on his feet again. He runs into the ropes, and leaps up for a high cross bodypress... but Julian Page collapses to the mat from fatigue before he connects, and Devon Storm goes sailing out of the ring! (Devon Storm was eliminated in 0:24:28) And now, across the ring, Bass Rogers has Dave Adams nearly dumped out over the top rope... and he forces him out of the ring! Dave Adams lands on the apron and desperately clings to the bottom rope... but Bass Rogers kicks him in the ribcage until he lets go, then scoots him out under the bottom rope! He's gone too! (Dave Adams was eliminated in 0:25:02.) Bodies are sailing out of the ring every which way now!
It's down to Bass Rogers, Primus, Julian Page, Salvaje Demonio, Tim Bell, and Devaccio Pola now. Tim Bell's going after Primus, and they exchange a series of chops and punches that Tim Bell gets the better of... but Primus reaches up and rakes his face, stunning him... then grabs his previously-targeted leg and executes a kneebreaker. Tim Bell's down, and Primus is grabbing his leg and stepping around... he's putting on the One! And that doesn't mean Billy Gunn in this case... it's his name for the figure-four leglock! Tim Bell's thrashing around, trying to escape, but Primus grabs the ropes! He's not releasing any time soon... but Salvaje Demonio's up on the top turnbuckle now... and he nails Primus with the Swandive Headbutt!! That breaks the One, and Tim Bell gets up as Salvaje Demonio continues assaulting Primus. Tim Bell's standing a little shakily on that wounded leg... and Julian Page comes from behind and clips his knee! Tim Bell goes down, and Julian Page grabs the back of his tights and his hair, and tosses him out of the ring to the floor! After nearly twenty-six minutes, Tim Bell's gone! (Tim Bell was eliminated in 0:25:54.) But the clock's down low again... FIVE!! FOUR!! THREE!! TWO!! ONE!!
It's "The California Crippler" Ken Collins! He quickly runs to the ring and slides inside. Devaccio Pola comes in to meet him in the middle of the ring, but Ken Collins just launches into a flurry of kicks and chops that drives even Devaccio Pola back. Devaccio Pola launches a spin kick to the head, but Ken Collins just ducks, then puts on a waistlock, and drives Devaccio Pola to the mat with a German suplex! Julian Page staggers back, smiling a pained, fatigued smile after eliminating Tim Bell... but now he bumps into Ken Collins, and Ken Collins puts a waistlock on him as well, and gives him a German suplex too! Ken Collins gets up, just in time to see Bass Rogers turn to him... and now these two are going to face off in the middle of the ring! They begin trading chops and punches, and Bass Rogers quickly gains the advantage and whips Ken Collins to the corner... but Ken Collins reverses it! Bass Rogers crashes into the turnbuckles hard and staggers out, right into a dropkick from Ken Collins that takes him off his feet!
Meanwhile, Salvaje Demonio is pummelling Primus on the other side of the ring, oblivious to Ken Collins's whirlwind of offense. Primus is looking pretty battered and weary by now, and staggers out of the corner before falling face-first to the mat, shades of Ric Flair, after a torrent of Salvaje Demonio's offense. Salvaje Demonio picks him up again and puts him in a standing headscissors... and plants him with a piledriver! That could've done it... he scoops him up and tries to hurl him out of the ring, but Primus manages to hang on to the top rope as he goes over, and guides his fall to the apron, where he quickly rolls back in under the bottom rope. Meanwhile, Bass Rogers has Julian Page propped up in a corner and is beating him senseless, and Ken Collins is going at it with Devaccio Pola... and Devaccio Pola launches a kick at Ken Collins, but Ken Collins catches his foot and takes him down into an ankle lock submission! Devaccio Pola's caught in the ankle lock, but the clock's running down... FIVE!! FOUR!! THREE!! TWO!! ONE!!
Amy Lin!! It's Amy Lin, of the Black Plague, and she's quickly making her way to the ring. She's coming up from behind Ken Collins as he applies the ankle lock to Devaccio Pola, heedless of her presence... and she gives him a swift kick straight between the legs! Ken Collins quickly releases the ankle lock and curls up, and Amy Lin hauls him to his feet, then pushes him into a corner and unloads a series of punches, kicks, and kneelifts on him in the corner! She hasn't forgotten the trouble that Ken Collins has given the Black Plague, and specifically her, over the past month, and she's going right after him, heedless of his obvious size and strength advantage! Ken Collins starts coming out of the corner... and Amy Lin jumps up and takes him down with a spinning headscissors, into a headscissors submission! But Ken Collins is squirming around in it, changing position, and starting to get up... and he gets up with Amy Lin on his shoulders, then reaches up and hooks her arms... OCEAN CYCLONE SUPLEX!! Ken Collins just broke the headscissors submission in a big way, and judging from the limp carcass of Amy Lin, he may have broken more than that!
Amy Lin slowly begins pulling herself up, but apart from stopping to get his breath back and work the kinks out of his neck from the headscissors submission, Ken Collins isn't hesitating at all. He grabs her from behind, and brings her down in a belly-to-back suplex, but holds it and rolls through for another one... and continues to hold it, and gives her a third belly-to-back suplex! Amy Lin's folded up like an accordian on the mat, and now Ken Collins pulls her up into a standing headscissors, and lifts her for a power bomb... but Amy Lin counters it with a Frankensteiner, into another headscissors submission! And this time, she's got it locked on good, and she grabs the ropes to help stop Ken Collins from lifting her or moving her around! Ken Collins is stuck in the headscissors submission... but the clock's running down again! FIVE!! FOUR!! THREE!! TWO!! ONE!!
It's Moy Lazzario! He quickly runs to the ring and slides inside, then pulls Amy Lin off of Ken Collins and hammers her with a few elbow strikes. He's had his problems with the Black Plague too in past weeks... and he whips Amy Lin into the ropes, then runs into the other side... and takes her down in the middle with a Thesz press, then starts raining punches down on her! Meanwhile, Julian Page drops Bass Rogers with a low blow after taking a few minutes of brutal offense from him, and begins wearily laying in punches to his face... but Bass Rogers's face is too tough, and Julian Page is running low on strength... and Bass Rogers shakes off the relatively insignificant blows, then scoopss Julian Page up and plants him with a massive bodyslam. Now he's going up to the top turnbuckle... MOONSAULT!! But no, Julian Page gets out of the way, and it missed! Julian Page gets up and begins stomping and kicking at Bass Rogers as he gets up... but Salvaje Demonio comes up and grabs him from behind, then takes him down with a tiger suplex!!
Ken Collins, on the other side of the ring, quickly finds Primus and begins brawling with him. They start trading chops, but Ken Collins quickly gains the upper hand and drives him back into the ropes. Primus goes for an eye gouge, but Ken Collins grabs his hand and bends the wrist back quickly, causing Primus to yell out in pain, then double over, clutching his wounded wrist... and Ken Collins takes that opportunity to measure him, then knocks him over the top rope to the floor with a savate kick! Primus is gone! (Primus was eliminated in 0:31:32.) Ken Collins turns, looking for another opponent, and finds Devaccio Pola, who seems eager for revenge after the earlier confrontation ending in the ankle lock. Limping a little bit on his ankle, Devaccio Pola still charges forward and attacks Ken Collins unhesitatingly, laying in kicks and punches that drive him back to the corner, then bringing him out of the corner with a snap mare. Meanwhile, Moy Lazzario goes for an Ace Crusher on Amy Lin... but she shoves him forward, then knocks him down with a kick to the face as he turns around! But now the clock's low again... FIVE!! FOUR!! THREE!! TWO!! ONE!!
It's Melissa DelArmeggio!! She immediately steps out of the backstage area and rushes to the ring, and Amy Lin's eyes widen as she slides into the ring and charges her. Amy Lin throws a punch, but Melissa DelArmeggio blocks it, then returns fire with a blinding flurry of punches and kicks of her own, driving Amy Lin back. Amy Lin staggers back, but Melissa doubles her over with a huge kick to the midsection, then puts her in a standing headscissors... POWER BOMB!! Melissa DelArmeggio just splattered Amy Lin on the mat, and now she's going up to the top turnbuckle... and she comes off with a frog splash... right onto Amy's knees!! Melissa curls up, clutching her stomach, and Amy's getting up now, and now she's the one battering Melissa with a rapid combination of punches and kicks!
Amy Lin pulls Melissa out of the corner and snap mares her down, then kicks her in the back of the head. Melissa starts to fall back down, but Amy Lin pulls her up and whips her into the ropes, then runs off the other side and cuts her down with a spinning leg lariat in the middle of the ring! Amy grabs Melissa and throws her over the top rope... but Melissa lands on the apron! Amy Lin takes a swing at her, but she ducks and grabs her head, then falls down, landing on the apron as she pulls Amy throat-first across the top rope! Melissa gets back up and climbs up to the top turnbuckle... Amy's getting up... and Melissa jumps in and takes her down with a flying Frankensteiner!! Amy starts getting back up, but Melissa's measuring her... BACK BRAIN KICK!! Amy Lin collapses to a heap on the mat, and Melissa pulls her up, then tosses her out over the top rope! Amy Lin is out of there!! (Amy Lin was eliminated in 0:33:51.) But now the clock's running down again... FIVE!! FOUR!! THREE!! TWO!! ONE!!
It's "The Barcelona Assassin" Lorenzo Vasquez, another member of the Black Plague... and Amy Lin meets him halfway down the aisle, audibly screaming for him to get in there and kill Melissa... and he runs and slides inside, but Melissa's waiting on him with a series of swift kicks to the midsection and face, driving him back into a corner... and she brings him out with a monkey flip! Across the ring, Bass Rogers is now battering Moy Lazzario... those two haven't quite seen eye-to-eye since their unsuccessful attempts at tag team wrestling in the Inquisition. Salvaje Demonio and Julian Page are also going at it, and Ken Collins and Devaccio Pola are continuing to beat the hell out of each other as well. Ken Collins doubles Devaccio Pola over with a lightning-fast kick to the midsection, then chucks him out of the ring... but Devaccio Pola grabs the top rope and lands on his feet on the apron, then gives Ken Collins a shoulder to the gut between the second and third ropes! Ken Collins doubles over, and Devaccio Pola slingshots himself back in, flipping over Ken Collins and taking him down with a sunset flip!
Back across the ring, Melissa DelArmeggio knocks Lorenzo Vasquez down with a savate kick, then goes up to the top turnbuckle... but Lorenzo Vasquez gets up, and starts going up with her! He stuns Melissa with a few fists to the midsection, then lifts her up over his head, still standing on the top rope... AND TOSSES HER OUT ONTO THE GUARDRAIL!! Melissa falls chest-first onto the guardrail, possibly breaking some ribs, and she may be seriously injured... but she's definitely out of the Big Fight. (Melissa DelArmeggio was eliminated in 0:35:28.) The crowd's chanting "HOLY SHIT!" and booing loudly as Lorenzo Vasquez steps down from the top rope with a sadistic smile on his face... but he runs right into Bass Rogers, who grabs him and hurls him to the mat with a vicious belly-to-belly suplex! Bass Rogers begins beating the hell out of Lorenzo Vasquez... but Moy Lazzario comes up behind him, and puts him in a sleeperhold, jumping on his back! But Bass Rogers just jumps backward into the corner, crushing Moy Lazzario between his back and the turnbuckles! Moy Lazzario staggers out... and Bass Rogers flattens him with a lariat! Medical crews are out to help Melissa, who's curled up in a heap at ringside, arms clutching her chest, and the clock's running down again... FIVE!! FOUR!! THREE!! TWO!! ONE!!
Johnny Smiles!! The crowd erupts into cheers as Johnny Smiles comes out of the backstage area and dashes to the ring, immediately turning to Lorenzo Vasquez as he gets up. Lorenzo Vasquez takes a swing at Johnny, but Johnny Smiles blocks and retaliates with a series of punches of his own! He whips Lorenzo Vasquez into the ropes, then sends him down with a dropkick as he comes off the other side! Now Johnny's running into the ropes, as Lorenzo Vasquez gets up... and he nails him with a swinging neckbreaker! Lorenzo Vasquez is down, and the crowd's on its feet cheering for Johnny! Meanwhile, Salvaje Demonio is trying to throw Julian Page out over the top rope, after Julian Page has been in the ring for over thirty minutes now... but Julian Page is hanging on! He stops Salvaje Demonio with an eye gouge, then puts on a front facelock... DDT!! He just planted Salvaje Demonio, and that could buy him a lot more time to recover!
Julian Page gets up, with a fatigued smile on his face, and pulls Salvaje Demonio up, trying to force him over the top rope... but now Johnny Smiles is coming from behind him! Johnny Smiles nails Julian Page from behind, then whips him into the ropes and catches him with a dropkick! Julian Page goes down, and starts scooting back away into a corner, wanting no part of Johnny Smiles, but Johnny Smiles just pulls him up and hammers him with a few punches in the corner, then climbs up to the second turnbuckle and begins raining punches down on his face as the crowd counts along! But wait a second... now Lorenzo Vasquez is coming from behind Johnny Smiles, trying for an ambush... but Ken Collins hooks him from behind, and takes him down with a German suplex! Lorenzo Vasquez is down, and Ken Collins pulls him up into a standing headscissors... and takes him down with a piledriver! He starts to go up to the top turnbuckle, but the clock's running down again, and he pauses to see who's going to come out... FIVE!! FOUR!! THREE!! TWO!! ONE!!
It's "Macho Man" Randy Savage!! Without a doubt, this is a major shift in the balance of power in the ring right now... Randy Savage has more experience in big matches than any of the men in the ring right now! He won his first WCW title belt in a battle royal, and tonight, he has a chance to win his first VCW title belt in one! He enters the ring, and goes right for Bass Rogers, hammering him with a series of big right hands! Bass Rogers roars angrily and retaliates, driving Randy Savage back with a meaty punch to the face, then charging with a massive lariat... but Randy Savage drops down, and pulls the ropes down as he does... and Bass Rogers goes spilling out over the top rope!! He's out of the Big Fight!! (Bass Rogers was eliminated in 0:38:20.) And now the Macho Man sees the weakened Salvaje Demonio leaning against the ropes... and he charges him as well, drilling him with a series of punches! Salvaje Demonio tries to fight back, but Randy Savage ignores a few of his blows, running on sheer inner fury, and doubles him over with a knee to the gut! Savage puts him in a standing headscissors... and drops him with a piledriver!! And now he pulls Salvaje Demonio up, and pitches him out over the top rope as well! He's gone too! (Salvaje Demonio was eliminated in 0:38:49.)
Randy Savage looks around, trying to find another victim... and he doesn't have to look far! A tired and battered, but still angry and intense Devaccio Pola charges him, laying in some heavy punches and kicks, but Savage is a born brawler, and he responds in kind, going toe-to-toe with Devaccio Pola. Meanwhile, Johnny Smiles is still keeping up the abuse on Julian Page, and Ken Collins and Moy Lazzario have doubled up on Lorenzo Vasquez. They bring him down to the mat with a double snap suplex, then Ken Collins goes up to the top turnbuckle as Moy Lazzario puts Lorenzo Vasquez in a standing headscissors. Moy Lazzario lifts him into a power bomb position... and Ken Collins comes off the top turnbuckle... FLYING DROPKICK!! Ken Collins just nailed Lorenzo Vasquez with the Flying Dropkick from in the power bomb position, and as the impact connects Moy Lazzario drives him down hard in a power bomb! Lorenzo Vasquez is laid out... but the count's starting again! FIVE!! FOUR!! THREE!! TWO!! ONE!!
It's Lance Errington this time, and he's taking his time as he comes to the ring, slowly and without much enthusiasm. Moy Lazzario and Ken Collins have hauled Lorenzo Vasquez to his feet, and they're trying to toss him out of the ring... but he still has some measure of consciousness left, and he's struggling! And now Randy Savage comes in and nails Moy Lazzario in the back of the head, making the save! Ken Collins turns around, and Randy Savage greets him with a series of punches, then scoops him up and drops him with a bodyslam! Moy Lazzario's getting up... but now Lance Errington's in, stomping away at him, then dropping a series of knees across his back! Lance Errington picks Moy Lazzario up and tries to toss him out, but Moy Lazzario blocks, then nails Lance Errington with a back elbow! He turns around and whips him into the ropes, then runs off the other side and catches him in the middle with his Thesz press... but Lance Errington stays up and throws him down, keeping a hold on his legs... and steps through and turns him over into the Scorpion Deathlock! Lance Errington has Moy Lazzario trapped in the Scorpion Deathlock... but Devaccio Pola runs up and kicks him in the head!
Lance Errington goes down, but Devaccio Pola stays on the offense, kicking and striking at him, then hooking on a front chancery and driving him to the mat with a snap suplex. Lance Errington gets up, grimacing in pain, and takes a kick straight to the teeth that puts him right back down again. Now Devaccio Pola's going up to the top turnbuckle, as Lance Errington gets up... and he comes off to cut him down with a flying spin kick to the face!! The crowd pops as Lance Errington collapses, and now Devaccio Pola's the one putting a scorpion deathlock on him!! The clock's running low... FIVE!! FO-- wait, Randy Savage nails Devaccio Pola in the back of the head, then grabs him and tosses him out over the top rope! He's gone!! (Devaccio Pola was eliminated in 0:41:57.) The clock's low... TWO!! ONE!!
It's the Super Giant Ninja this time, all seven feet two inches and nearly four hundred pounds of him... and sad to say, the big lunk might actually have a respectable chance at winning the Big Fight, if only because it'd be very hard to throw such a big man over the top rope. He enters the ring and immediately begins awkwardly clubbing and kicking at Lorenzo Vasquez, who is still somewhat out of it after getting hit with that devestating Flying Dropkick/power bomb combination a few minutes ago. Across the ring, Lance Errington is still going at it with Moy Lazzario, as Ken Collins batters the nearly-dead body Julian Page in between trying to force him out over the top rope... and Randy Savage starts attacking Johnny Smiles, nailing him with a series of right hand blows that drive him back into the corner! Johnny Smiles starts retaliating with a few punches of his own, but Randy Savage cuts that off with a gouge to the eyes.
Randy Savage pulls Johnny out of the corner and gives him an inverted atomic drop, then goes behind him and takes him down with a belly-to-back suplex. Johnny's down, and now Randy Savage is going up to the top turnbuckle... he could be looking for the flying elbowdrop, but Johnny's up too soon for that, so he comes off with a flying axhandle instead... SUPERKICK!! Johnny just blocked the flying axhandle with a superkick to the Macho Man's jaw!! Randy Savage is down, and Johnny Smiles picks him up in a fireman's carry... he's going for the Smiledriver!! But Randy Savage counters it with a crucifix, bringing him down, then gets up and catches him with another eye gouge as Johnny stands up again, stunning him and enabling Savage to continue the offense, unloading several more right hands on Johnny's face. The clock's getting low again... FIVE!! FOUR!! THREE!! TWO!! ONE!!
HACKSAW!! It's "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan! He must be the fourth independent worker here!! Does he still work for WCW, or not? Evidently not, because he's here, and he's storming the ring! He enters the ring from a huge pop to the crowd, then bellows "HOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!" loudly, as most of the fans yell along with him. He begins stomping his feet and chanting "U-S-A!!" repeatedly, and that chant quickly catches on and grows to deafening volumes in the crowd. He grabs the Super Giant Ninja from behind and spins him around, then begins firing right hands into his head, rocking the Ninja back! He backs the Ninja into a corner with heavy punches, then draws back as the Super Giant Ninja steps out, and levels him with a massive blow!! The Super Giant Ninja goes down, and Hacksaw stands back and goes into a three-point stance, then runs at him... OLD GLORY KNEEDROP!! Hacksaw just kneedropped the Super Giant Ninja, and the crowd erupts!! But he's not done yet... he pulls the Ninja up, and drives him back towards the ropes with several more punches. As the Super Giant Ninja leans against the ropes for support, Hacksaw steps back and goes into another three-point stance... then charges and blasts the Super Giant Ninja with a huge clothesline, knocking him out of the ring! (The Super Giant Ninja was eliminated in 0:45:06.)
"Hacksaw" Jim Duggan moves on to face "Macho Man" Randy Savage, and they begin trading blows immediately. Those two men are no strangers to each other at all... and meanwhile, Johnny Smiles has now moved on to brawling with Lorenzo Vasquez, as Julian Page and Ken Collins continue to go at it! Julian Page is now past the forty-minute mark in terms of time spent in the ring, and he looks like he's been through Hell and back... and it looks like he's still in Hell, because Ken Collins is still destroying him. His chest is bleeding in spots from the hard chops and blows of Devaccio Pola, Bass Rogers, and Ken Collins, and Ken Collins's hands come away red with blood as he continues to chop at Julian Page! Meanwhile, Lance Errington takes Moy Lazzario head-first into one of the turnbuckles, then snap mares him to the ground and begins choking him with a boot to the throat. The clock's running low again... FIVE!! FOUR!! THREE!! TWO!! ONE!!
Here comes Dean Sanders! He runs to the ring, slides inside, and immediately joins "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan in attacking "Macho Man" Randy Savage, and the tide of that fight turns quickly; even Randy Savage can't hold his own against two fighters like Dean Sanders and Hacksaw Jim Duggan. Meanwhile, Johnny Smiles is signalling for a superkick as he measures Lorenzo Vasquez... Lorenzo Vasquez gets up, and Johnny launches a superkick, but he ducks! Johnny Smiles goes off-balance, and Lorenzo Vasquez kicks him in the gut, then goes behind him... TIGER SUPLEX!! Lorenzo Vasquez just took Johnny Smiles down in a tiger suplex, earning a large round of boos from the crowd! He pulls Johnny up, and hooks him for a single-arm DDT... but Johnny Smiles backdrops out of it! Lorenzo Vasquez gets up, and angrily charges him... but Johnny catches him across his back in a fireman's carry and spins... SMILEDRIVER!! Johnny Smiles just took Lorenzo Vasquez down with the Smiledriver, and now he tosses him out of the ring! (Lorenzo Vasquez was eliminated in 0:47:10.)
Across the ring, Julian Page has managed to gain the advantage on Ken Collins with a quick facerake, and he's giving him some stiff chops and jabs of his own, but by now he's looking desperately short of energy. His chest is red with welts in some spots and red with blood in others, and he's positively covered in sweat, but he's still fighting... he takes Ken Collins down with a Russian legsweep, and heads to the top turnbuckle. Ken Collins gets up... and Julian Page gives him a flying axehandle right between the eyes, sending him back down to the mat! He pulls Ken Collins up, and tries to throw him out over the top rope, but Ken Collins blocks it! Ken Collins throws an elbow back, but Julian Page just dodges, then hooks that arm and the other in a full nelson... DRAGON SUPLEX!! That may be enough to take Ken Collins out of the fight... Julian Page takes a moment to lie on his back and suck air into his lungs, then forces his body to its feet and begins pulling Ken Collins up as the countdown starts again... FIVE!! FOUR!! THREE!! TWO!! ONE!!
Uh-oh... here comes a BIG problem. Crimson steps out of the backstage area, and charges to the ring, prompting a chorus of loud boos from the crowd. They know what this means... the big guns are out now, and God help every last person in that ring! Crimson climbs up to the apron and steps in over the top rope. Lance Errington turns around from his struggle against Moy Lazzario... and Crimson puts a hand around his throat! He picks up Lance Errington... CHOKESLAM!! Lance Errington's down, and Crimson hauls him up a second later and pitches him out!! (Lance Errington was eliminated in 0:48:21.) But "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan's measuring Crimson with a three-point stance... and he charges in with a massive clothesline as Crimson turns to him!! But Crimson doesn't go down! He's still up, and he just looks at Hacksaw like a mosquito that just bit him. But Hacksaw's reaching into his tights... and he pulls out a roll of tape! He rolls the tape around his right fist a few times, then drills Crimson with a pair of left hands, draws back the taped right fist, and DRILLS him in the jaw with a massive punch... and Crimson rocks back, but he doesn't go down!! Duggan rushes him again... and Crimson catches him by the throat!! CHOKESLAM!! And now he picks Hacksaw up and tosses him out as well!! (Jim Duggan was eliminated in 0:48:58.)
The onslaught isn't over, though... Crimson comes up behind Dean Sanders, who's still brawling with "Macho Man" Randy Savage... and he clobbers him from behind! He turns Dean Sanders around and grabs his throat... and he gets a Chokeslam as well!! Dean Sanders is laid out, and Crimson tosses him out over the top to the floor!! (Dean Sanders was eliminated in 0:49:18.) Crimson continues to scan the ring for victims, and it looks like he just zeroed in on Moy Lazzario... sure enough, he steps forward and hits him with a few big punches, then whips him into the ropes... and nearly takes his head off with a massive boot!! But he's not done yet... he pulls him up into a standing headscissors... POWER BOMB!! And it's still not done... but Johnny Smiles rushes Crimson from behind, hammering him with blows to the back... and failing to even faze him!! Crimson turns around angrily... but Randy Savage steps forward and attacks Johnny, driving him to the corner with a series of right hands, and saving Crimson the trouble, for now. Turning back to the business at hand, Crimson pulls Moy Lazzario up by the throat, then lifts him into the air... CHOKESLAM!! Moy Lazzario's laid out, and it's just a formality as Crimson picks him up to toss him out to the floor!! (Moy Lazzario was eliminated in 0:49:52.) Crimson stops to scan the ring again, which now contains Johnny Smiles, Julian Page, Ken Collins, and Randy Savage, in addition to himself... but the clock's counting down again!! FIVE!! FOUR!! THREE!! TWO!! ONE!!
Here comes Brujah, the VCW Television Champion, and the last member of the Black Plague to be entered in the contest!! He runs to the ring and slides inside... and immediately goes after Crimson, punching and kicking away at him fiercely!! Brujah's been compared to a rabid animal, the sort of man who doesn't know the meaning of the word "fear"... but if he knew the meaning of the word "stupid", then maybe he'd know how it applies to what he's doing right now. But amazingly, he actually doubles Crimson over with his stiff punches and kicks, then puts him in a standing headscissors!! He's going to try to power bomb him, and we all know he can do it!! He's taken out some huge men with his Power Bomb... but not today, because Crimson counters it with a HUGE backdrop that sends Brujah flying over the top turnbuckle to the floor!! He's out already!! (Brujah was eliminated in 0:50:28.)
Crimson turns around, and seeing that his ally Randy Savage has Johnny Smiles under control, he advances on Julian Page and Ken Collins, who are continuing to battle each other... but now they just noticed Crimson coming after them! They exchange a glance, then both turn and begin assaulting Crimson... but Crimson just casually knocks Julian Page off his feet with a massive right hand! Ken Collins begins nailing Crimson with a series of chops, punches, and kicks, but Crimson's barely fazed... and he doubles Ken Collins over with a kneelift, then lifts him over his head in a Gorilla Press! But Ken Collins slides down behind him, and puts on a waistlock... GERMAN SUPLEX!! Ken Collins actually suplexed Crimson, and the crowd explodes into cheers!! Crimson gets up, enraged, and takes a swing at Ken Collins... but Ken Collins catches his arm and takes him down by it, then flows into the California Crossface!! Ken Collins has Crimson caught in the California Crossface, and it doesn't look like he'll be able to get out of it!! But "Macho Man" Randy Savage breaks away from his confrontation with Johnny Smiles to nail Ken Collins with a double-axhandle to the back, breaking the hold. The clock's running low again... FIVE!! FOUR!! THREE!! TWO!! ONE!!
It's "Double R" Rex Richards, this time, and he's not entering with any of his usual fanfare... he's just jogging to the ring and sliding inside! Looking around, he seems to decide on the easiest victim, the battered and weakened Julian Page, and immediately pulls him up by the hair and starts drilling him with right hands. He pulls him up and tries to toss him out of the ring, but Julian Page is determined to hang on after being in there this long, and refuses to go over the top rope, nailing Rex Richards with a few back elbows, then turning around to retaliate against him. Julian Page rakes the eyes, then whips him into the ropes and runs off the other side, and takes him down in the middle with a leg lariat! But he can't capitalize on it... he's too busy trying to suck in more air, and he ends up getting up at about the same time as Rex Richards. Rex Richards charges him... but Julian Page picks him up, and drops him throat-first across the ropes in a Hotshot!
Meanwhile, Crimson is fighting Johnny Smiles as Randy Savage brawls with Ken Collins. Johnny Smiles throws a few punches at Crimson to no effect, then jumps up and gives him a dropkick to the chest, which merely sends him staggering back a few steps. Crimson bellows "COME ON!!" loudly, daring Johnny Smiles to try to do better than that... and Johnny lashes out with a superkick, but Crimson dodges out of the way! Johnny has to take a moment to regain his balance, and when he does, it's just in time for Crimson to charge and flatten him with a big boot of his own!! Johnny's down, and Crimson pulls him up into a standing headscissors... POWER BOMB!! The crowd's booing loudly, and Johnny Smiles is laid out on the mat!! Crimson pauses to pose triumphantly over his fallen carcass for a few seconds... and the clock's running low once again! FIVE!! FOUR!! THREE!! TWO!! ONE!!
It's Robert Danson! Robert Danson rushes to the ring and jumps up on the apron as Crimson pulls Johnny Smiles up by the throat. Crimson lifts Johnny Smiles for the Chokeslam... but Robert Danson climbs to the top turnbuckle and comes off to nail him with a flying axhandle to the back!! Crimson staggers forward, dropping Johnny Smiles, then turns around... and starts getting pelted with big right hands from Robert Danson! Robert Danson whips Crimson into the ropes, and waits on him as he comes off... POWERSLAM!! Robert Danson just brought Crimson down with a massive powerslam, and the crowd's loving it!! Julian Page comes in, clobbering Robert Danson from behind... but Robert Danson turns around, and starts blasting him with big right hands as well! But now "Macho Man" Randy Savage is coming forward as well... but Johnny Smiles is up now, and he grabs Randy Savage and takes him down with a belly-to-back suplex!!
Across the ring, Ken Collins and Rex Richards are now embroiled in a battle as well. Rex Richards doubles Ken Collins over with a kneelift to the gut, then presses him high over his head, preparing to toss him out with a Gorilla Press slam... but Ken Collins slides out behind him! Rex Richards turns around, and Ken Collins backs him up into the ropes with a series of punches and chops, then whips him to the other side... but Rex Richards reverses! Rex Richards goes for a backdrop, intending to eliminate Ken Collins in that way... but he lowered his head too soon, and Ken Collins kicks him in the face, causing him to stagger back against the ropes... then measures him and nails him with a savate kick, sending him tumbling out over the top rope!! Rex Richards is gone!! (Rex Richards was eliminated in 0:55:52.) And the clock's running down again, for the last time... FIVE!! FOUR!! THREE!! TWO!! ONE!!
It's Lars Coverdale!! And he's just in time, too... Crimson has gotten up, and is dominating Robert Danson now, after attacking him from behind during his conflict with Julian Page. Lars Coverdale immediately runs to the ring and climbs up onto the top turnbuckle, and comes off with a flying axhandle on Crimson... but this time, Crimson turns around and catches him by the throat!! CHOKESLAM!! So much for Lars Coverdale... he's laid out! Crimson picks him up and casually tosses him out of the ring, then returns to business as usual. (Lars Coverdale was eliminated in 0:56:17.) Lars Coverdale was the last man to enter the ring... what you see now is all there is, and it's Crimson, Ken Collins, Julian Page, Johnny Smiles, Robert Danson, and Randy Savage!! One of these six men is your next VCW Intercontinental Champion!!
The battle lines are becoming drawn again, as Crimson continues his attack on Robert Danson. Elsewhere, Johnny Smiles begins going at it with Randy Savage again, and Ken Collins attacks Julian Page, trying to push him out over the top rope... but Julian Page just doesn't want to go out! Ken Collins is getting increasingly frustrated... Julian Page has been beaten half to death during the course of the evening, but somehow he keeps avoiding anybody's attempts at tossing him out of the ring! Ken Collins takes him down with a snap suplex, not quite sure what to do to put him away... but across the ring, it looks like Randy Savage is about ready to put Johnny Smiles away!! He just planted him with a piledriver, and he's heading up to the top turnbuckle... he's looking for the Flying Elbowdrop!! But Ken Collins rushes forward and dropkicks him in the ankle, causing him to fall crotch-first on the turnbuckle!! Ken Collins is climbing up with him now... but he's not bringing him down with any sort of top-rope suplex, he's hammering him with a series of punches!! Randy Savage is wobbly on the top turnbuckle... and Ken Collins shoves him off!! Randy Savage falls to the apron, then tumbles to the floor!! Ken Collins just eliminated Randy Savage!! (Randy Savage was eliminated in 0:57:59.)
Ken Collins jumps down from the turnbuckle, and turns around... right into an angry stare from Crimson. Crimson's closest ally in the ring, Randy Savage, was just thrown out, and he's not a bit happy with Ken Collins! Ken Collins begins attacking Crimson with everything he can muster... but it's just not enough, and Crimson knocks him back into the corner with a massive headbutt!! Johnny Smiles gets up, and he's attacking Crimson from behind... but Crimson carelessly turns and knocks him off his feet with a massive backhanded punch!! Robert Danson charges at Crimson next, and takes a big boot to the jaw that knocks him down!! Crimson shoots a glare to Julian Page that seems to say "Don't even THINK about it", then turns back to Ken Collins... only to find that he used the time granted by the distractions to mount the top turnbuckle!! He comes off the top... FLYING DROPKICK!! And Crimson goes crashing down to the mat!! Ken Collins just knocked Crimson into next week with the Flying Dropkick, and now he's measuring him for a savate kick as he gets up, next to the ropes... this could send him out!! Ken Collins launches the kick... but Crimson just grabs his foot and tosses it aside, taking Ken Collins down!! Ken Collins gets up... and Crimson grabs his throat!! CHOKESLAM!! Crimson may have just put an end to Ken Collins's time in this match... Johnny Smiles rushes him again, but Crimson doubles him over with a kneelift, then sends him sprawling to the mat with a punch to the head. Almost as a formality, he picks up the limp carcass of Ken Collins and tosses it out of the ring. (Ken Collins was eliminated in 0:59:26.)
We're down to the Final Four now... Crimson, Johnny Smiles, Julian Page, and Robert Danson... and Robert Danson's back up, rushing at Crimson!! He wants to avenge Ken Collins's elimination... but Crimson grabs him by the throat as he comes in, and it's not looking like that'll happen!! He lifts Robert Danson up... CHOKESLAM!! He's down too, and Crimson picks him up and chucks him out of the ring! (Robert Danson was eliminated in 0:59:44.) Crimson turns back to the other two men in the ring, Johnny Smiles and Julian Page, and grins sadistically, then turns to each man and gestures for them to come on, as if asking which one wants to be first. Johnny Smiles and Julian Page exchange a glance, and nod... and they're moving in together! They're teaming up to take down Crimson!!
Johnny comes in first and begins drilling him in the side of the head with punches that barely faze him, and Julian Page is right behind him... but Julian Page nails Johnny Smiles in the back!! That bastard!! The crowd boos, and Crimson sends Johnny Smiles sprawling to the mat with a clubbing forearm smash to the back of the head. Julian Page extends his hand to Crimson, and Crimson takes it!! They're shaking hands in the middle of the ring, and now they're both stomping and kicking at Johnny! But Johnny's starting to pull himself up... and he's retaliating with a series of punches to Julian Page, driving him back!! Johnny Smiles is pretty angry about that betrayal, and he's letting Julian Page have it... but Crimson stops that quickly, with a forearm to the back. Johnny Smiles doubles over... DDT!! Julian Page just drilled him with the DDT, and that may have laid him out!! Now he's stepping back, and pointing to Crimson with a smile on his face... and Crimson picks Johnny up by the throat!! CHOKESLAM!! Johnny Smiles is down and OUT!!
Crimson's picking up Johnny and carrying him to the ropes, with Julian Page spotting him... and this is purely academic. He prepares to throw Johnny out... but Julian Page nails him with a low blow!! Crimson doubles over in pain... and Julian Page drops him with a DDT!! This was his plan all along!! He wanted Crimson to take out Johnny, then he'd ambush Crimson and pick up the pieces!! He pulls Crimson up again... and he drills him to the mat with another DDT!! And now he's pulling him up once more... and a THIRD DDT!! He may have just knocked Crimson out, and now he's going to get rid of him!! He drags him to the ropes, and begins forcing him out of the ring... he doesn't have the strength left to lift him and pitch him out over the top, so he'll have to prop him up and shove him out! Crimson's practically limp, rocking on the top rope, about to go over... and Julian Page backs up and charges, nailing him with a leaping shoulder tackle!! Crimson rocks back, almost going out... and Julian Page backs up and charges again, with another leaping shoulder tackle!! Both of Crimson's feet leave the mat, and he teeters on the brink of going out... but he stays in somehow! Julian Page is backing up again and charges in... but this time Crimson comes to life and nails him with a massive boot to the face!!
Julian Page collapses to the mat, and Crimson grabs him and pitches him out over the top rope... but Julian Page grabs the top rope and holds on, and Crimson doesn't see it!! Crimson pulls the limp, lifeless body of Johnny Smiles up off of the mat, and prepares to toss him out again... but meanwhile, Julian Page performs a "skin the cat" flip back into the ring, and he's coming up behind Crimson again... and he nails him with another low blow!! Crimson doubles over again, and once again Julian Page hooks him for the DDT... but Crimson lets out a loud bellow of rage this time, and backdrops him off!! Julian Page goes down, and gets up in time to see Crimson turn to him, his eyes practically burning with rage... and he drops to his knees and starts begging off!! He's backing up, trying to get out of Crimson's way somehow... but Crimson steps forward and grabs him by the throat!! CHOKESLAM!! Julian Page is laid out in a heap on the mat, and after an hour, that may be what it takes to finally put him out of commission... and it is, as Crimson grabs him and hurls him over the top rope to the floor!! (Julian Page was eliminated in 1:04:25.)
It's down to Crimson and Johnny now... and that may just be a formality, because Johnny's just now starting to come to his feet, barely alive. Crimson pulls him up and whips him into the ropes, then swings a massive lariat straight at his head as he comes off... but Johnny ducks!! Crimson turns around... and gets knocked off his feet a superkick!! The crowd erupts into deafening cheers, and now Johnny's picking Crimson up on his shoulders in a fireman's carry... can he actually do this!? He's going for it... SMILEDRIVER!! Johnny Smiles just planted Crimson with the Smiledriver (admittedly, he took the bump on his upper back rather than his head), and the crowd's going crazy!! Johnny Smiles picks Crimson up, and tries to toss him out over the top rope... but Crimson grabs the rope and blocks it!! He's still not going out without a fight!! He grabs a handful of Johnny's hair, and levels him with a massive headbutt, drawling a loud round of boos from the crowd.
Johnny's starting to pull himself up again, but Crimson puts him in a standing headscissors... come on, he's had enough abuse already... POWER BOMB!! Johnny has been reduced to mat pizza once again, but now Crimson's waiting on him!! Johnny Smiles begins to get up, pulling himself up on the ropes... and Crimson charges him with a big boot... but Johnny dodges out of the way!! Crimson's kick overshoots, and he ends up straddling the top rope... and now Johnny pivots suddenly... SUPERKICK!!! CRIMSON FALLS OFF THE ROPE TO THE OUTSIDE!!! (Crimson was eliminated in 1:06:10.) JOHNNY SMILES WINS!!!

(Johnny Smiles won the VCW Intercontinental Title.)
The crowd is exploding into a huge round of cheers, going absolutely crazy... but on the outside, Crimson looks like he's about to go crazy in a different sort of way. He jumps back up onto the apron, eyes glowing with malice, and steps over the top rope... but Johnny Smiles slides out under the bottom rope on the opposite side, then grabs the VCW Intercontinental Title from the timekeeper's table and starts retreating up the aisle, raising the VCW Intercontinental Title up above his head to another huge burst of cheers from the crowd. Crimson's staring after him, still in the ring, with a look of pure hatred and rage, but he can't change the fact that Johnny Smiles just won the Big Fight and became the VCW Intercontinental Champion!!
But hold on... someone's coming out of the backstage area... make that three someones! Butch Manson, Jack Norman, and "Macho Man" Randy Savage are coming out of the back, no doubt to catch Johnny and bring him in to Crimson... but Johnny sees them coming! Crimson's waiting back in the ring, but Jack Norman, Butch Manson, and the Macho Man are blocking his path to the backstage entrance, and they're advancing on him as well. He looks back and forth... then jumps the guardrail into the crowd!! Johnny Smiles is making his escape from Hell's Bikers in the crowd, which continues to cheer as they reach out to touch him and the VCW Intercontinental Title belt as he retreats through the crowd!! Hell's Bikers stare after him in frustration, but he's already gone, and they won't catch him tonight! They're making their way backstage, but none of them look happy with tonight's outcome, especially Crimson.
The Big Fight has come and gone now, but we still have our double main event matches left to go!! Those matches will be coming up next, in Part Three. This is your chance to take a break and rest your eyes again after the hour of non-stop action you've just witnessed. Part Three of the Big Fight will be waiting for you, just beyond the link below!
