Meanwhile in the Wachovia Center, the ring's filling with WWE superstars.

It is time to crown a new World Heavyweight Champion.

Again, the rules are simple.

Over the top rope, both feet hit the floor.

You're eliminated with the last man standing.

Becomes the World Heavyweight Champion.

Bobby Lushlin, and here it is.

Young man who has a tremendous chance to win this over the top rope battle royal.

You're not kidding my friend, and believe me, every man in this battle

world is probably worried about a man named Lashley, and that's him right there,

folks, because he's still kind of, you know what I mean, we know his style.

But if you've never really seen him be tested, and

Well, SmackDown and Raw present,

Raw rumble starts by The Con for PlayStation Quarterman.

The Raw women in the country live Sunday, January 29th,

from the American Airlines Arena in Miami, Florida,

exclusively on Pay-to-View, The Con for PlayStation Quarterman,

where the fighting is dirty and the money is even dirtier.

Kind of like a man, got gold.

And you heard what Melina said moments ago, Taz.

Last week was the first part of the plan.

Takeout Batista, tonight the second part of the plan.

Either Eminem or the world's strongest man,

winning the World Heavyweight Championship.

My God, there's the man who's single-handedly.

Strongest man, Mark Henry.

The man who's single-handedly.

Put out Batista, that's the guy right there.

18 men are in the ring, two more to be announced.

Who will be the last to be added to the Battle Royal to determine the World Heavyweight Champion?

matchup, one of us from the wall.

Now to Kurt Angle, hammered away on Ray Mysterio.

Their history has been well documented as well.

And Ray Mysterio is in trouble for sure.

And Kurt Angle, first he gunned after JBL,

now he's gunning after Mysterio.

The suit has that Kurt Angle's big matchup with Shawn Michaels on

this Monday night is still gonna happen.

Despite the fact that Angle's here tonight on SmackDown.

But I don't even understand why Angle's got the watch out.

Orlando Jordan hung up on the top rope, Rey Mysterio tried to eliminate him.

And Orlando Jordan back into the ring.

That's the snack that Matt Hardish hold on to Angle, but no more than a minute.

Capitalized on it.

Angle, of course, part of that perlacious Elimination Chamber matchup.

With the New Year's Revolution taking you from Raw just a short five days ago.

I did Matt Hardy a lot of credit, and that's going to go right at the angle.

Now look at this, now Simon D might go.

And Simon D saves himself, the front headlock and the battle roll.

So they're gonna see Matt.

Trying to go where Matt Hardy down.

Uh-oh.

An animal to the right hand of the world's greatest man.

The guy canchowings.

Well, it's because of Mark Henry, Tad, that the-

Ladies and gentlemen, the story that has developed here is the fact that

Rawls Kurt Angle is involved in this battle royal.

Angle surprising everyone, showing up in this battle royal here tonight.

You're right about that.

That's a big story, Kurt Angle being this.

But the biggest story is Mark Henry, the Rawls strongest man because of Henry.

Because of Mark Henry, having this battle royal determined and

who will have to win champ because Mark Henry single handedly took out Batista.

Hardy hangs on and stays in the matchup.

An unprecedented act earlier tonight.

Batista citing that injury, had to turn the World Heavyweight

Championship over to the general manager.

Hence the reason for this battle royal.

Notice a moment ago.

Watch out, that'd be a snap shot here.

Watch out.

And no!

It looks like the SmackDown superstars are trying to avoid Mock Henry.

Jeff Eminem, because they kind of are kissing his butt a little bit.

And we're gonna land on Jordan, look with the right hand, Kurt Angle.

Watch out.

And a German suplex by Kurt Angle.

You gotta get Angle out of this match.

I'm telling you.

Watch out.

Watch out.

And Orlando Jordan eliminated right out here in front of us.

And Kurt Angle now goes four of them, because of William Regal.

Watch out.

Heads up.

What the hell?

Watch out, it's up behind, that angle is not eliminated.

Angle has not been eliminated.

He was really through the ropes and jumped.

Neither is Mark Henry.

Mark Henry did not step over the top rope.

The go after Kurt Angle.

And again to reiterate, both Kurt Angle and Mark Henry are still in this matchup.

big man stop yelling at him but you're gonna make him upset it's gonna be bad

for both of us but what the hell Henry obviously has got bad intentions on his

mind

It's announced table, and the Battle Royale continuing in the ring.

Hey, lastly, how good is this man?

These two, these two heavyweights, going at it.

Whoa, whoa, Lashley was rocking his world, but then Lashley ran for a wall.

Watch out.

Lastly, running into that brick wall of Henry again.

winning the World Heavyweight Championship.

We'll find out when we return to Philadelphia.

The story of this battle, Royal, has been Mark Henry.

He has been a one man wrecking crew.

He may be well on his way to winning the World Heavyweight Championship.

It is why he had this matchup, and Mark Henry looks determined to become champion.

The angle's still laid out here.

Curt Angle's out cold.

And Stereo trying to eliminate Nitro.

Nat Hardy working on Sylvan, and there's-

They go Sylvan.

Sylvan hanging onto the apron.

Nat Hardy can't believe he didn't eliminate him yet.

And we are down to five men.

Man, how do you eliminate him?

Can you believe the world's strongest man, Mark Henry?

Mysterio is in a heap of trouble.

Melina must be thrilled.

Goodbye Rey, he's in trouble.

Mysterio hanging on.

You took the words out of my mouth.

It's Mysterio, and Henry takes the face.

And Brock Henry is looking at Mysterio like he's lunch.

Mysterio cannot believe he's looking into the eyes of the world's strongest man.

Now you feel this moment.

This arena Philadelphia is rocking.

They want Rey to take down Henry, if Rey takes down Henry,

World Heavyweight Champion, Rey Mysterio.

And Rey can't believe his eyes.

Rey's gotta use his speed, he's gotta juke his eyes.

I don't like Rey's chances.

But I'll tell you what, you never can count out Mysterio.

Mark Henry outweighing Rey Mysterio by more than 200 pounds.

Here's the keys, Eddie catching this arena.

Eddie and Rey, best friends, nearly brothers.

Rey Mysterio trying to feed off these snapdown fans.

Trying to take this big Sequoia out of his trunk.

Here's a drop kicked in the back.

Gotta keep moving Rey.

But Rey's been through hell in this battle.

Well, gotta keep moving, bro.

Mysterio trying to knock Mark Timmy down.

Here's a big drop kicked in the midsection.

Oh my.

Dial it up Cole.

He got him.

Come on Rey, come on Rey.

Six one nine.

Rey can do this here, Rey can do it here.

He's so close, Cole.

Mark Henry's on Green Street.

Henry might be out of gas.

Another six, one, nine, and a guy just wants to go to the gut.

When the guy might be out of gas, you're in the stereo.

You better go for Kim now.

And Malina's bounded out, she can't believe this.

Malina's insurance policy mark, Henry.

Rey Mysterio is trying to knock the big man on the street.

Mysterio, on top of Henry.

My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my,

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no

It is coming down to this angle, and here we go.

We're exploding, baby.

Can you feel it?

The right hand quake, Kurt Angle, fighting up for Kurt.

What's the speed of angle?

He just ran into a wall, he ran into a brick wall.

God, I'll tell you, Cole.

He's given up a ton of size here, and that momentum just got shut down.

Got a world's strongest man.

And don't forget, he just got press slam through the announce table a few minutes ago.

And Mark Henry gonna eliminate Kurt Angle here, and he's going to get him from behind.

And hold the angle slam.

Are you kidding me?

My lord.

Let's take a look at Kurt Angle.

Now Rockwell, Kurt Angle back to his feet, Mark Henry back to his feet.

I got goosebumps, man, I'm telling you, two men remain.

Watch out, no winner, becomes World Heavyweight Champion.

And now all Mark Henry has to do is lift Kurt Angle up,

toss him over the top rope, and Mark Henry will have climbed him out.

And not a hard cast.

When you're a monocrat and the truth of the matter is that you're the world's strongest man

Yeah, you saw how he ripped that that steel door off the cage last watch out

Mark Henry

And I don't blame

Mark Henry, the world's strongest man.

He's lifting Kurt Angle up on the top rope.

Uh-oh.

Thank you.

Kurt better try and do something,

but she's perched up getting slapped across the face.

What the hell is Kurt Angle doing here?

Kurt Angle, he's gotta wait a minute.

Let's go from, it's like a head sizzle, almost like a triangle choke.

But Angel trying to get Mark Henry on the top rope, that is hitting this.

He's sizzling his head up.

Mark Henry, Mark Henry, Mark Henry could be fatally cool.

Angel's trying to.

Kurt Angle still got it locked in, Kurt Angle still hasn't locked in.

But Angle better be careful here, Angle's gotta hang on.

Rock Angle is too tall, he's too thick to get over that top rope with that headscarf.

Kurt Angle trying to get Mark Henry over the top rope.

Even if Mark Henry passes out here, how the hell do you get that dead weight over

the top rope?

Hey, Kurt Angle is on top rope.

He's gonna go flying, Angle's done for Mark Henry.

Mark Henry, and that might have been the last gas for Kurt Angle.

Yeah, I think Kurt Angle is stunned.

He'll be heading back to Raw with a Major League headache after that.

Kurt Angle, Olympic gold medalist, Mark Henry, Olympic competitor as well.

The world's strongest man against the nasty rugged Kurt Angle.

The last man standing becomes World Heavyweight Champion.

a lean of barking instructions to Mark Henry, Kurt Angle at the right hands.

Here comes Kurt Angle, but another twobby blow by the near 400 pounder.

Well, all these SmackDown fans here in Philadelphia are all on their feet,

including me.

This is off the shot, man.

Kurt Angle whipped across the ring, Kurt Angle ducks underneath the toes.

A German suplex, a German suplex.

I'll tell you what, that might have took everything out of Angle.

I don't know if he's gonna, he's trying to peel off that whole throw, but

you know all about suplexes, what's it like to suplex a 400 pound man?

How can you suplex or throw a 400 pound man you can't throw an angle?

Try the back bridge, but it's so, I personally, that's amazing.

I never throw a guy 40 pounds, so I can't speak for him.

I never, I never throw an angle chance in an arena, but.

We're hearing it a moment ago.

Mark Henry back to his feet.

Kurt Angle, it's over.

He's gonna eliminate Kurt Angle.

But Kurt Angle.

He's got that front face lock hole, we got Olympic gold medalist with a front headlock.

Look at how strong you are, it's tough to get out of that.

Kurt Angle using every muscle in his body to try to mobilize Mark Henry here.

To try to tinker on the apron.

He's trying to pull him over the top lock hole, Angle's trying to pull Mark Henry over that top lock.

Mark Henry's on the top of the Mark Henry back to a vertical base.

Man, man, he's still got that choke down.

Kurt Angle is not giving in here.

It has been a relentless offense not by Kurt Angle.

The problem is to lock him, and that's just what he's going with.

He's got that wide base.

He's going back to that head scissor again.

My God, be careful here, Kurt Angle, he's hanging on to the bottom rope.

He's hanging on to the top rope, the 400 pounder of the top rope as well.

Kurt Angle is going for it.

He won Henry, I think it was Mark Henry that hit first.

Creep never throws it to me, and I'll tell you what,

Bobby Heenan don't have the biggest ego in professional wrestling.

That chump champion, Hulk Hogan has the biggest ego in wrestling.

Well, you know you can't help but reflect back on the past relationship of these two is.

The announcements are made for the participants in the Battle Royale coming into the ring.

When you look back to the past, I mean these two men Andre and Hogan.

They were like brothers.

I mean, each helping the other out along their way,

ensuring they were both seeing things the right way.

I can remember when Hulk Hogan was attempting to become champion of the world.

And Andre the Giant right there at his side all the way.

I can remember Hulk talking about how he chose Andre as his role model in his quest for the title.

How Andre would conduct himself in the company of children, his kindness to them.

How he would show his sense of fair play in as well as out of the ring.

His enormous pride in himself and for mankind.

But I'll tell you, boy has Andre taken a detour.

And don't just blame Andre's conduct on Bobby the Brain.

He didn't because down deep.

Andre had to harbor resentment, he had to harbor jealousy.

And whatever dark secrets Andre holds in his heart, not just Hulk,

but I think I could speak for almost every fan in the world.

We've all been thrown to the mat by Andre's recent actions.

Bring me the cry of God, McMahon, it breaks my heart.

Don't you understand for one minute that friendship does not enter in business?

This is business.

The man wants a shot at the championship of the world.

There is the real champion, the real American,

Hulk Hogan, electrifying his capacity crowd.

And the Hulkster has brought himself together.

because Mick no mistake about it.

He was devastated by the recent actions of Andre the Giant.

It took him a while to snap out of it.

Snap out of it, he is indeed here in Detroit before this capacity crowd.

And look, Andre the Giant blocking the entrance of Hogan as the hokester looks up

into that seven foot five inch 500 concrete.

Yes, there's the title Andre.

Yes, I think you see Andre stepping back to him, bring it on, big man.

That's exactly what's gonna happen.

The Hulkster electrifying this crowd, stepping through the ropes,

preparing for this confrontation with Andre the Giant.

Look at the awesome display, tearing the t-shirt off.

What a display.

Here we go, Andre.

No wait a minute, Arndor attacking the champion from the blind side.

I love it.

Look at this, look at this.

Arndor.

You see the Heaton family doing a number on Hulk Hogan.

What a brilliant man Bobby Heaton is.

Look at the damage that the Heaton family is doing to the Chump Champion Hogan.

Every man firms up in there and the Hulkster at this moment cleaning house and

a Hunky Talk Man.

Look at him, Hulkster all over everybody.

Hondar moving in, the Hunky Talk Man up in the air and yes, the first casualty.

He's gone, first casualty, Hunky Talk is out of the battle royal.

The Hulkster perhaps setting a precedent in this battle royal.

Here's the danger of Battle Royale, the danger, double teaming, triple teaming.

Every man for himself, you got the Heeman family out there.

Obviously, Bobby has got the feeling.

Look at that, Andre, heaves the 300 plus pounds of Seeker right over the top rope

with ease a moment ago.

Did it simple, I'm very impressed.

And there we see Ron Bass and Blackjack with no love balls going out of this

well, but in the corner, it's Huberly Jim with Andre the Giant.

Back over in the other corner, the Hoagster with Herculean, and Andre now.

Look at this, they're going after him too.

This man is the biggest threat in the Battle Royal.

Look at this, he's got, wow, he's got Mulligan and Hillbilly too with the biggest

men in wrestling smashed their heads together like nothing.

Andre, cleaning house, look at the punishment, wait a minute.

Andre with Haku over the-

the top rope again with these.

Andre stalking the champion Hulk Hogan, but no.

In his way there, his leaping landing, what a head buddy held him there.

Look at, he's punishing Poppo.

Poppo over the top rope and now Andre looking down and just, no.

He split him open with that headbutton and eliminated him.

Andre now with Hogan.

Look at the size of Andre the Giant.

Wait a minute, look at this, the Hulk turns on his way out.

Hercule's there, big Brian Bear, big Brian Bear.

trying to get the champion out, just a matter of moments before Hulk Hogan is eliminated.

No, wait a minute, back over here.

Look at Andre the Giant firing a killer B across with.

Now look at the size Mulligan is a huge man, and he looks like a toy next time.

The Hulkster firing up, fighting out of the corner.

Hulk, look at this.

Papo's definitely injured, definitely injured at the hands of the giant.

We're seeing a new Andre, there's no question about it.

Look at him punish people.

The object of course is to get the opponent over the top rope.

Andre here tonight is punishing young man and he look who is punishing.

What do you mean, pick on Mulligan?

I like it, I like it.

We're seeing an aggressive Andre.

We're seeing a man with the will to win and to go at any expense to accomplish that.

I like that.

That's the result of Andre's extraordinary headbutt.

Lanny Papo on his way back to the dressing room, and again,

everyone will take notice that this is the new Andre.

New Andre, this is not a new Andre, this is an Andre that's in there to win.

Let me say something, McMahon while you're-

Wait a minute, long pass over the top rope.

Let me say something, every one of these wrestlers knows when they get into a battle royal,

there is a good chance for injury.

They get in there knowing that that's the chance that they take.

But they don't expect to be punished.

Before they're thrown over the top rope by the likes of Andre, they're giant.

Here, action smash, two of the more powerful individuals in the Battle Royale.

Trying to get here with a gem over the top rope.

Why wouldn't you punish someone you think someone is gonna-

Boom, Maligan.

Whoa.

Hip toss right over the top rope by Andre.

I'll tell you Andre's impressing me.

I've never seen him getting rid of people in the Battle Royale as quickly as he is tonight.

And the Hulkster with Nikolai Volkov hammering on the big Russian.

Wait a minute, hurst him up, yes, and over, World Cup eliminated.

Eventually it's gonna come down to a confrontation, the Giant and Hogan.

I can feel it, McMahon, as guys are being eliminated.

It's gonna get down to the two big men.

Right now, Hondar and the Hulkster and Hondar.

There goes one to the high by Andre.

Cocoa chopped down to the canvas by Andre.

The hoax you're hammering away on power, Andre.

Look at Andre, punishing Cocoa B Ware.

Give me a break.

That's a size 24 foot right there.

Andre, the champion, why?

Try to throw him over the top, but don't try and crush the man's win pipe.

Win, win, that's why.

Hercules with an uppercut on the hook, sir.

Look at this, the Heenan family going to work on Hulk Hogan.

Hogan not only has to worry about Andre, he has to worry about everything.

Another devastating hit by the drill where the gym collapses.

And Hulk Hogan almost over the top.

Hercules, Hondro, trying to get him over.

The Hulkster, however, back on his feet now.

Andre with Hillbilly at all.

My Billy Jack and Hillbilly collided.

I'll tell you, Andre to me is the driving force in this battle royal.

I've never seen him eliminate people like he has tonight.

The Hulkster whipped across.

Oh, whipped into Andre the drag.

We got it.

Here it is.

Here it is, McMahon.

The confrontation we've been waiting for.

Here it is.

These two bohemians ready to lock up.

Finally, Hulk, Hulk is looking right into the eyes.

Hooker moves in, Hookster moves in, and another right hand, the Giant back to the ropes.

Hookster, here he comes.

Wait a minute, Hook cut off by Paul Onder.

Action smash, Hammering away as well.

Boy Andre, that Giant was reeling from those blows from Hulk Hogan.

Here's the Hookster collides, Hondorf and Max.

Hondray still, wait a minute, Hondorf.

André's got Hogan, he's got him, the Giants got the champion.

Big head butt butts to the same as Potho.

No, I can't believe it.

Over the top, André's eliminated Hogan and done it easily, done it easily.

Well, Hogan's very hot as, look at this, look at this look, all right, so much drama.

Look at the Giants.

All right, back to the replay here.

André going for the ride and from behind now.

Now watch this, Andre comes up from behind, grabs him by the ear,

yanks him back to the middle of the ring.

Andre rears back with that 500 pound frame and

rams that enormous head into Hulk Hogan.

Hogan, reeling from the blow, Andre gives him a toss out of the ring.

And I must agree with you with these is a hoax to ram just back on the apron to

the outside and look at this.

Look at the way Andre responds to Hogan's exit as if he's just so much

garbless, look at it.

No, no, no, I disagree.

He's saying you're nothing champion, you're nothing.

You finally match your match.

You've met the man that'll beat.

Put the ring and get back in there with Andre.

B-Rushing back by the officials.

The Battle Royale continues.

Battle Royale continues.

Ultra said, I'm gonna get you pointing over to Andre the Giant.

Yeah, but he's not gonna get him tonight.

He's eliminated McRan.

And I'm still amazed at how easily Andre the Giant picked up and

threw out the 300 pound heavyweight champion of the world like that.

All right, Andre, the odds on, favorite for sure now if he wasn't before.

Jumping Jim Brotel over the top rope.

Woo-hoo, Jim, trying to gang up on Andre.

Here comes the host of them.

Now, here's a smart move.

Now, if I was in that ring, this is exactly what I would do.

I would get together with the rest of these wrestlers.

Cuz as easily as he got rid of Hogan,

if you don't get that giant out of the ring,

you're never gonna get him out of there.

I'm not too sure even eight men can get him out.

Andre, battling them out.

Andre, trying to hang on.

Andre, the king of the battle.

The rolling in, the rolling in, momentum.

Andre is out.

He's out, I can't believe it.

I can't believe it, the big man eliminated.

Andre is hot.

with the odds on favorites gone, it's anybody's battle going.

Look at that, it's not a mean giant, is he hot?

Look at him, move.

Yeah, but he accomplished and showed the world something.

He showed the world that he could throw Hogan right out of that ring.

Look at this, Hulbillie, Jim trying to hang on and Smash throws him out.

Hulbillie, down on the concrete, he wants to get back in there, but

just like everybody else, you're gonna have to make your exit.

Yeah, he's a sore loser just like Hogan was.

Herculean Hernandez, along with Smash, along with Billy Jack, Butch Reed, Cocoa.

We're down to what, five men?

And now Butch Reed with Cocoa trying to set him up.

Whipsy to the road, Prism in the right hand.

Cocoa with a drop kick and Butch Reed over the top rope.

We're down to four, we're down to four.

The natural eliminated, what's he saying?

He said he told Hercules, don't trust anybody, look out for yourself.

I don't think that's fair.

Bobby Heaton on the outside, giving instructions to Hercules Hernandez.

That's not fair.

McMahon, all smear in love and war and a battle war.

I suppose you thought of the stare of the way Andre the Giant treated

Leaping Lanny Puffer earlier.

Of course I thought it was fair, anything goes.

These guys know, these guys know they risked injury when they stepped in there in a battle.

The latest word on Pop always gonna take a couple of stitches, but he's gonna be all right.

Well that's a shame in my book, you mean I have to listen to his obscene poetry.

Look at this, Herculean's got Coco, wait a minute, Billy Jack coming over, saving Coco.

Smash, and Billy Jack going at it, as you see Hercules and Coco with a fisticuts.

Coco up again, and this time he is out.

I emanated, whoa, the problem with Coco right there, he's too light.

He's too light to stand up to Hercules' strength and now.

And ooh, what a double clothesline is Billy Jack Kane's item believe heads.

It's gonna be two on one, and you can't complain about it.

I like that, you can't complain now.

two against one because it's all legal.

It's in the battle royal.

It's legal, all right, but nonetheless Billy Jack on his feet, maybe not for long.

You see the individual doing the most damage here is Smash.

No, Hercules, look at him, they're just measuring him.

Hercules just laying back.

They're measuring him.

Look at Hercules telling Smash to stand back.

Let me do the big number on him.

Hercules is directing traffic in there.

How diabolical, they can just measure the guy.

All right, off the rope, Billy Jack, look at that.

It's gonna backfire on Herculees, down one on one.

Billy Jack and Herculees, as Billy Jack moves in, a series of right hands.

Retaliation by Herculees, Billy Jack, what's Bobby doing?

Bobby Heaton, up on the apron.

Heaton obviously doesn't like something up there.

Going for it, missing Billy Jack now.

Look at that dumb Billy Jack Haynes, Bobby Heenan did what he wanted to do.

He got that dumb Billy jerk to look at him and hurt till he's toppled him.

This thing is gonna start as soon as he hits the ring.

And he appears to be reluctant to soon as he is in there.

Here we go, we're under way.

Davey Weissbip, look at Shawn, he's running.

They're going after Shawn Michaels, Davey Weissbip, no.

Michaels leaps over the top to the outside.

He eliminated himself.

eliminating yourself from the Battle Royale.

I can't believe that.

Davey Boy still on the top rope looking over at him.

He wants him to come back.

If only Michaels would have said, look at this.

And now causing Davey Boy and the others looking on him.

And then he said, I won the one that counts.

All he's going to WrestleMania, no doubt about that, but too bad.

especially the British Bulldog.

It's every man for himself and Nagareta.

You proud of earlier on, for the broadcast.

This the most dangerous match there is explained if you will.

Boy is it ever, all kinds of arms and legs flying.

You get blindsided, you get taken down.

What you gotta do is try to stay on your feet if at all possible.

Cuz down on the canvas, you're talking about possible career.

not what's standing at in a battle aisle such as this.

The action is just everywhere you really can't even call it.

Hard to keep up with it.

I would suggest you don't see a great deal of scientific skill used in terms of holds

and maneuvers.

Wait a minute, you're simply trying to get your opponent up on the top.

And the King, the King has to be targeted as well.

Look at the-

knows that better than the British Bulldog.

Every man for himself in there.

Although I would suggest you could see some alliances in this particular matchup.

Yes, it could be as a matter of fact, Jacob and Eli sticking together until the very

end of this thing.

King Kong funding pretty much on his own in there as well as Mabel,

although Mabel and Mo may hook up.

Wouldn't surprise me if Eli and Jacob hung together, but look at this.

See, he's off his feet, bitch, that's when you get big trouble.

They don't want to meet down on the canvas with all that dough.

Meet there above you.

What's in these men of war getting hammered there too, wow.

And look at this, these two big monsters over in the corner,

hammering away on the British Bulldog.

And well, it's getting more of the same.

Jerry the King, Lawler, give me a break.

Look at Lawler, Lawler has something to prove here this week.

predictions, and yes, he predicted he would win.

Well, in the center of the ring, Eli and Jacob hammered away with the head-trickers.

They've got a few scores to settle.

Eli and Jacob cost the head-trickers, I think the title is.

Yes, indeed, in a recent match, who knows what?

But now, Jacob and Eli, two big monsters, and they're trying to make a name for

themselves here in the World Wrestling Federation.

And wait a minute.

King is still alive in this.

We sure thought Mabel was gonna heave him out to the third row.

Look at the King trying to find a place to hide.

Well Mabel enjoyed great success at the Royal Rumble, but

look at Bundy, he's getting hammered here.

Yes, and there is no place to hide and no place to run when you're in there.

And this 20 man battle, and who's the head striker now with one of the heavily

bodies and Mabel in the corner is.

Pretty much in this thing, Henry away.

Look at the King hiding, look at that, the Dumpster.

Yeah, he'll go back out on his trash route now.

And Henry Dodd one, getting the best of the Dumpster,

I'm sure they haven't seen the last of each other.

Look at that, and a swing there to King.

Awant, Toadstree get being hammered.

Quiet now in the receiving end of an elbow.

Oh, the kid is really being pummeled.

One, two, three, Kidd, a complete competitor.

Can't believe he's still in there, it's unbelievable.

Takes a lot of guts for someone like the kid to get into a match like this and

obviously favors the big men, Guerrero.

though still in there would be the one, two, three kid.

Sherry the King of Waller, Bob Holly, and

also Richard from the Heavenly Bodies, and look at the kids.

No, no, no, through the ropes, that won't count.

Even if the British Bulldog is shoved out.

It wouldn't surprise me if a number of individuals ganked up on Mabel or Bundy.

These, wait a minute, Crang is having some problems.

Quentin Rivera and whoa.

A head-tricker fought two to the outside.

Now we're really getting down to an integrity and believe it or not,

somehow Jerry the King lower is still very much in this thing.

Must have bound a corner to high.

You got him sneaking about the king over to the left side of your screen.

Meanwhile, Quang attacking from behind Bob Holly.

And look, the king now got, that's a silly maneuver on the part of the king.

You don't wanna get up on those ropes.

But nonetheless, he gets away with the hard right hand and

suffers one from Quang in his own right.

Well, that's the last thing you wanna do is climb the turnbuckle from the inside.

And uh-oh, no, look at this, Bob Holly.

And the King just wrecked the face of a one, two, three kid.

Who's gonna win this thing who do you think gorilla well I guarantee events the guy who predicted victory won't win

Jerry the King Lawler still in there somehow the one two three kid being chopped big double-team cool boy the British Bulldog movie

He's saying to the audience, he's saying to him, be quiet.

Don't tell anybody.

Roller wants everyone in the ring to think that he's been eliminated.

In fact, he has not a page from the book of the man who won the Royal Ramos,

Shawn Michaels.

He's gonna win it, Cremal.

He's gonna win this thing.

He's begging now and the Hitman continues to come out and

get a little closer look at Jerry.

keeping him in this Battle Royale.

And now we are down to five individuals, and nobody home for Quang.

Look out, Quang, home of the top three, sixty-good five.

The final four in the squared circle.

And the one, two, three kid, amazingly in there.

Well, he's in big trouble right now, Vince.

I'll tell you that.

He's in there with some real powerhouses.

Yes, Mantara.

And it's either Jacob or Eli Blue, tough to tell those two.

And the one, two, three kid, just like Bob Black Olly gave it a go.

A close line, get away from the rope.

Davey Boy, impermanent.

Look at that headbutt by Mantyman.

Look at this.

And here comes Carey Von Erich.

If he can work his way through his adoring fans.

And so this one is going to start in a hurry as Carey Von Erich seeks his revenge from

The slamming of a door on the championship hopes of Carey von Erich

Carey wanted in this bout

He has to be in it. It was supposed to be a five man. It is a six man

And it may take everybody in the arena to separate these two

Bugsie moves in they move in now and Gordy's out of the way

Carey von Erich here comes Andre the Giant

seven foot four four hundred and seventy eight pounds and immediately it's

underway six men five thousand dollars and away they go and Gordy and Kerry

Von Erich got their own war going on the other side of the ring and Michael

Hayes gets involved and there goes Gordy out and right with Kerry Von Erich and

Kerry goes flying out he is eliminated but he's not ready to quit fighting

Cary is officially out of the bout thanks to the interference of Michael Hayes

but Cary's got more important things on his mind like pulverizing Terry Gordy so

far so far everybody else is still in ball but Cary Monerick is now in double

Allie Braul, David Manning wants some help.

So does Bronco Lubitsch.

Wild Bill Irwin, close to going out

on the other side of the ring.

And Andre the Giant, and the headbutt on King Kong Bundy.

Wild Terry Gordy and Keri Von Erick and Michael Hayes

come down on the floor to have another part of the war.

Kerry has been officially eliminated

Now it is Andre the giant who has

Terry Gordy wrapped up

By Nadeed is coming down to get his friend Kerry von Eric

Andre the giant wrapping up Terry Gordy got his huge hand down in the shoulders and in the muscles in the nerves

And Michael Hayes is upset about it all.

There are five left, but now Erwin's got into fear.

Bugsie takes care of that situation

and here's King Kong Monday.

Wrapping on the back of Andre the Giant,

the eighth wonder of the world.

Bugsie, Wild Bill Irwin, Bundy,

Andre the Giant is down right on top of Terry Gordy.

I don't know if they can,

and now Terry Gordy wants to escape.

There goes Bugsie McGraw, or is it Irwin now?

Bugsie McGraw has been eliminated.

Now Bill Irwin and King Kong Bundy want to combine their efforts against Gordy and Andre the Giant

Andre has Terry Gordy wrapped up

But Bundy and Irwin are taking their shot

Outside the ring Michael Hayes and Bugsy McGraw had a confrontation and they want to get after it

But in the ring, it's still Irwin going after the huge Andre, the giant.

Andre, meanwhile, has Gordy still wrapped up in sort of a chin lock,

and they're trying to pull Andre out of there.

Bugsy's left the area now, Michael Hayes is still seconding his man.

Well, there's a melee of King Kong, Bundy, Gordy,

Andre the Giant, and I don't know if anything's

gonna be left to Gordy by the time

if they ever get Andre off of him.

But now it is a three against one

in a sense of Bundy, Irwin, and Gordy

all against Andre the Giant.

Once the Giant gets to his feet, watch out.

The Irwin trying to put Andre over the top rope.

And look at Andre Handel, King Kong Bundy.

And right back to Terry Gordy.

Here comes Irwin, high-flying, up on the ropes.

Everybody's attacking the giant.

Well that's Erwin, landing after about 10 feet in the air.

But he came in the ring for his own good.

That was his own health.

Well, Gordy is still in trouble.

Andre the Giant wrapping his huge hands around the head and

neck of Terry Gordy.

One blow of that arm and that sends Irwin flying away

Five minutes gone

And the giant right back to his chosen duty reverse Chenlock up Terry Gordy

That looks like a sleep hole now

Gordy just hanging on here comes Irwin around to the apron but he's not gonna

get anywhere and a headbutt and Irwin is sagging. King Kong Bundy

frustrating for these guys trying to take care of the giant and here comes the

giant on Bundy. Bundy's okay went through the ropes not over the top

and right back on Terry Gordy again Andre has never relaxed his whole on

Gordy he took up where Kerry Vinerick left off while Bill Irwin atop the ropes

while Bill Irwin with a dive on Andre the giant and now they may have a chance

to pin the giant

Gordy coming back, Gordy trying to get some revenge.

Bundy, Irwin, they're all on the giant.

Gordy's got to run around a bit and get some wind back.

And here comes the giant to his feet, and that's trouble.

And right back to Gordy again.

Andre has a target.

And that's Terry Gordy, and he stays with him.

Andre stays on.

Terry Gordy.

And despite all the efforts of Irwin and King Kong,

Bundy, they just cannot dislodge the huge man.

Another tremendous headbutt.

Bundy moves in.

Gordy, Gordy misses and there goes Bundy and here comes the giant right back on Gordy again.

Well the giant is really having his battles tonight. He doesn't seem to mind it at all.

Bundy would like nothing better than to be one who could pick up Andre the Giant and body slamming.

Not only Harley Race, as I recall, has had that chance.

Bundy on the giant, Irwin on the giant.

Gordy has him caught up, but still the Giants in command.

7-P4, 478 pounds, and Andre.

The Yell tells it all, Andre Dragan about 900 pounds out to the set of the ring.

Irwin, hitting a good shot to the midsection to the solar plexus.

They're trying to put Andre the way, two men to hold him, one to smash him down.

They may have him now.

This may be the only way that you could ever get the giant

Michael Hayes on the side getting the talk to the crowd

They got on right now now can they pin him here comes Irwin

The giant is still in command and kicked to the bent solar plexus and Erwin has slowed up

Giant down but not out

Mile Bill Irwin.

Try to help his partners put away Andre the Giant,

but they can't keep him down.

That's old say, you can't keep a good man down,

you can't keep this huge man down.

Add the yells and the pain of Andre the Giant.

10 minutes gone on this spot.

Slowly but surely they continue to work,

continue to try to wear him down, work him over,

wear him out.

One more shot, cross the jaw.

Rather like a pack of animals as they attack their prey.

But the animal fights back and the prey fights back.

And the prey is now a wild man himself again

Irwin up look out. Oh that drop and there goes Irwin. He's through

Terry Gordy again the focal attention of Andre the giant

At both of them in the corner now

There goes Gordy to the apron

Not out but now

Andre's going after Michael Hayes

And Michael has left the approved the arena boy Michael Hayes move faster than I've ever seen him

and now David Manning says Andre the Giant has eliminated himself by coming up over the top rope

David Manning says he is out

told by the technicality of the rule Michael Hayes actually got Andre the Giant eliminated

as he stepped out to go after a tormentor and eliminated himself

So it's between Gordy it's between Gordy and King Kong Bundy

David Manning the referee as he and now has the task of taking these two rough Housers apart watching up

Gordy trying to body slam Bundy that'll be a tough job

Next week we have an interview.

There is Gordy Bodyslam though,

and here comes Bundy down.

One, two, and somehow Gordy had the strength

and energy to play it out of there.

Next week we have interviews and features

with Carey Von Erick and David Manning.

Each talking separately about the Carey Von Erick,

Rick Flair, about the World Heavyweight Championship.

Here comes Gordy.

Bundy, crashing into that corner post.

And there goes Bundy and the winner is Terry Gordy.

World Championship Wrestling presents Battle Ball.

I will now read the list of the final 16 to compete for the title.

Johnny B. Penn, Nasty Boy Knox, Shockmaster, Mr. Wonderful.

Well if Rip can find a way to hide under the ring till there's one guy left he might win it.

Why not.

Fifteen men await Rip Riders.

Remember it is over the top rope to the floor.

Not the ramp way.

Anything goes in a battle royal.

This is what they waited to see.

You saw Hawks say I want the ring.

It is a golden diamond ring presented by World Championship Wrestling.

And this is Rip, he spent the shortest time in the ring to make it to the finals.

He sure did.

No doubt about that.

Look at Rip still trying to find his way, he's seeing stars yet.

He ain't made it in yet.

And here we go, not a lot to call here Tony, watch him fight.

Rip starting now with Johnny B. Bader locked up with the road warrior.

Wow.

Sags and flair.

Dustin Rhodes and Ravishing Rick Roode.

Now there's a battle.

I thought they'd go at it.

Shanghai and Cactus.

And Dustin on the verge of going out.

Roode's got Dustin Rhodes hanging over the top.

Somebody just went out.

RIP Rodgers has been eliminated for battle.

RIP Rodgers gone already.

Yep.

Well, bless his life.

There goes your favorite, Tony Rips gone.

RIP had an out and out tough night tonight.

They did.

So we got 15 now.

Here's RIP going out.

just got it.

You kind of miss some of them here until you get down to about a half a dozen.

Nature Boy hammered away on Stunning Steve, they were partners earlier.

And there goes Shanghai.

Oh, cactus ducks out of the way.

And Shanghai, right over the top of the floor

in front of Harley Race.

All right, good work, guys.

Great camera work.

Hopefully we can see each man as he's eliminated.

Dustin Rhodes looks like he may be next.

Perticea, Mr. Wonderful.

Paul Lerner, a friend that sent Dustin out.

And he went through the ropes.

All right.

He went through the ropes, Tony.

Blair's there with him.

They're fighting on the floor.

Both of them through the ropes, not over the top.

And they're still fighting on the floor.

So they're technically still alive.

And the nasty boys just thought they eliminated the road

warrior, but they got him only to the apron.

He's on the ramp.

He's not eliminated.

That's right.

He's still back in.

So this is even tougher Battle Royale in many ways.

Yeah, because you can only, you only got three basic sides.

If they go out the ramp side, they're still eligible.

There he goes.

Whoa, there went Johnny B.

Johnny B. Bad eliminated from Battle Boy.

Notice, too, that Vader's still in there.

Roots got him draped up.

Vader and the Shockmaster.

Here's Johnny B. Bad going in, I believe.

There you go.

There goes Johnny B.

Dumped out on the far side.

Where's Sags at?

You'd think he'd be watching out for his partner.

He's tied up with Sting.

King Kong hammering away on the shot master.

Flair's almost out.

Flair is almost out, and look at the road warrior.

Saves the nature boy.

Why?

You're in it every man for himself.

Why would he do that?

Head first goes Dustin, and he take a look at King Kong.

Here goes the shot master.

Here goes Cactus.

There you see a replay of Cactus going out.

That happened moments ago.

And then Orndorf on the other side, followed him up.

Dustin Rhodes hooked the rope and backdrop Orndorf over the top.

That eliminated Mr. Wonderful.

Mr. Orndorf also eliminated.

That's right race as it is but race is in for bad news. It's got to be to the floor

He landed on the ramp, you gotta go to the floor.

Harley Race complaining us, Tony, we can't do nothing about it.

Rhodes U.S. title and he and Dustin are going at it now.

Sting battling Nobs and they are pounding away at Battle Bowl.

One man will remain.

He'll be the champion.

And Stingers got Nobs going.

Where's Sags?

There's Sags.

I mean, multi-pick, man.

Now, he and Flair tied up.

You heard the challenge made by Flair for Star-Cade in Charlotte, North Carolina.

Monday, December 27th, and Bader with a big Bader.

See what the nasties should do now is they should maintain contact with each other.

They should stay with each other throughout the remainder of this match.

If they can do that, they can win it.

That's a good point, Jesse, but eventually if that happens they're gonna have to face each other.

Well, then one of them steps out over the top and you split the ring.

That's simple.

Split the ring, okay.

What would you do fight your partner? How would you split the ring you wear one day? I wear the neck. Sure

head first

Put it in the trophy case and neither of you wear it. Okay

And that may be their game plan here. They should stick together

Seven men left rip Roger Shanghai Johnny B. Bad cactus Jack Paul Lord or the Shockmaster and King Kong of the Colossal Kong

nine remain

And Sting comes up and saves the Nature Boy.

Flair in his first battle bowl in WCW.

Look at Rude going to work the two world champions.

Going toe to toe.

Rude says I'm the undisputed and of course that is not true.

There is a big dispute about who is the world champion.

now just all of them absolutely that's why the nasty boys got such a big

advantage it survived so far look at the nature boy there is bad blood with

he and Harley race that just will not forgive and forget

Sting is choking out stunning Steve.

Whoa, and Bader catches the Stinger.

This is a wild one.

Sting is bleeding from the back.

Dustin's got one nasty boy, the Nature Boy's got the other one.

And a hawk setting Steve going in on him.

There gotta be some attempts to go over the top pretty soon.

Yeah, it's apparent that they feel they need to wear these guys down,

but that's usually not the case.

Sometimes it's timing in a battle royal.

Stunney Steve is hurting he just slumped in the corner over there. He cannot even get up right now the Colonel encouraging him up

Colonel ought to just keep him in the corner there the Colonel standing in with the curtsy

Where maybe close to going out of on the upper left here Sting stop that cold

Dustin Rhodes through the ropes did not go over the top did not go over the top

Dustin Rhodes still legal stunning Steve through the ropes both of those men

still legal he may be through the ropes but he may not be able to get back in

Dustin still out.

Well, somebody needs to get Dustin back in there.

He's loafing on the floor.

He got him.

Loafing.

The fight, eight men are in.

One man is on the outside, it's Dustin Rhodes who's hurting.

He went head first.

Oh, he's bleeding.

Yeah, he got cut.

He's heavily lacerated here.

Dustin Rhodes rammed into the post.

a huge lead and he's back in.

Grandma Rhodes and Houston can be proud of him.

He's put up one hell of a fight tonight.

Yeah, he had.

Both in the tag action as well as in this.

It's Steve laying it in.

Get up, you little red face.

Get up, you little red face.

Get up, you little red face.

Get up, you little red face.

Get up, you little red face.

Get up, you little red face.

Get up, you little red face.

Get up, you little red face.

Get up, you little red face.

Get up, you little red face.

Get up, you little red face.

Get up, you little red face.

Get up, you little red face.

Dustin fighting for all these words.

And

these guys are getting tired now, Tony.

They are.

They're running out of gas.

Get the official word on Dustin.

Three of them went real quick right there.

Dustin Roots eliminated.

Roots gone.

Ravishing Rick Roots gone.

Over in that top row.

Roegor, your hawk is gone.

Roegor, your hawk is out of it.

We're down to the final four.

It's like college basketball, the final four, Tony.

Dustin really took a beating out on the floor when he hit that post.

He's bleeding all over the place.

Look at him.

Well, four men remain in battle ball.

It's the wild one, Jess.

And I don't think none of them are gonna team up with anybody.

Vader with the Nature Boy, they're set for the 27th.

Flare's career on the line.

Sting suplexes stunning Steve. Flare to the buckle.

measures in.

who's come out checking on Ric Flair, and Chuck just got booted by Vader.

And Vader just dropped the elbow on the Nature Boy.

Remember, we're gonna have a winner.

There's no count out here.

Chuck is asked for some assistance.

He's asking for some assistance here.

Flair must be finished.

He might be.

Flair's done.

The referee's apparently are not going to let Flair continue, and the stretcher has been brought out. Flair mauled by Bader on the rampway.

Well first he had the showdown with Harley Race. Race took his attention away from Bader. Bader went out and did the damage.

is officially out, the referees have deemed him unable to continue.

Harley Race is trying to upset, look at Harley Race.

You know what's going on here?

What?

Harley Race is scared to death of Ric Flair, he does not want,

he does not want Flair to be able to make it to Starcade.

He's laying on a stretcher, why would he be afraid of him?

He wants to make sure.

Stunning Steve slamming the Stinger into the ring.

Three men remain in battle bowl in a wild one at Feethy there with Flair.

Look at this, apparently Vader and Stunning Steve have teamed up on the Stinger.

Flair being carted off in a stretcher, he's out of it.

Now he's gotta stay away from him.

That's right, but you're right about being out of gas.

Gotta wonder how much more stings got left.

They've cornered him, they caught him.

not after what we just saw.

Rue and stunning Steve leaping all the way across the ring.

They can do what they want with the Stinger now.

Stinger trying to block the punches of Vader.

Stangers into a big right hand.

Look at this.

He's a pinball.

No way he's going to get out of there.

I give him credit, Stinger fought a hell of a fight.

Hey.

But he's out now, and Vader splashes him.

Take a look at your franchise now, take a look at your-

A second one.

Take a look at your franchise.

Vader taking everybody out here, with help of stunning.

Look at this, we're crying out loud.

Not again.

A third one.

No!

Sting saw it coming and did a sit up.

Stunning Steve doesn't have the strength to put him over the top.

We're still down to three.

Big knee to the chest and throat area.

Man, here comes Vader now.

He says roll him out.

Heard his back, Sting is out, the only guy on his feet is Stunning Steve,

Steph Mer.

Stunning Steve is going to be kind of a little favorite here because of what we've

seen transpire, and now here he goes, no.

Remember Bader heard his back in the match when he power bombed Charlie Norrish.

in the very first lethal lottery tag match tonight.

Steve went to the floor Steve fell off the ramp he could be eliminated. I think Steve is out because he went from the ramp to the floor

He is out

get his second ringer, while Vader did his first.

Vader with the big clothesline, big splash.

Punching at the ear of Sting.

This WCW World Champion, maybe the toughest we've ever seen.

He misses, Baylor catches the Stinger.

The SmackDown Live holiday special rolls on.

Now it's time for the all I want for Christmas

Battle Royale to superstars have begun to file in the ring.

Remember, the winner gets to ask Santa Claus

for a special Christmas wish.

Jimmel sat me this time of year, there's a lot of food to eat.

You know, Coach, telling me earlier tonight that he had a rough upbringing as he was old.

He's got a chip on his shoulder.

Making his way to the Olympics for Dublin, Ireland.

Why aren't you gonna join at 67 pounds?

The great one is Sheamus.

Sheamus has earned a reputation for being a hothead,

but in Sheamus' own words, he's just spirited.

Spirited. He's got an awful temple. It's terrible.

He can be very business.

20 superstars, the only way to be eliminated.

And no.

Oh, my, what a wonderful, come on.

This guy.

In a battle royale, you kidding me.

It's got to be some sort of joke, right?

I thought maybe he's going under the ring where he used to live.

Wait, whatever happened, his little village under the ring too.

He just like lives normally in society now.

He used to run around and say, oh, there he goes.

back to his home.

Here we go.

In any event, the all I want for Christmas, battle royal underway now.

I'm really upset with Joey Styles and the idiots who run WWE.com.

Cuz they're covering SmackDown.

And Shem is quickly eliminating Darren Young.

Live right now on the website, they have the audacity to put pictures of me and

a Rudolph outfit on the website.

How embarrassing to the lead announcer of WWE.

I think you're a huge opportunity for one of these superstars gets their wish

granted by Santa will not go to one of the usos who's eliminated.

So, Elfboy, if you were in this match, right, and you won this thing, what would you wish for?

You see a championship match?

Well, you're not a superstar.

Seriously, if it was just you and Elf, what would you wish for?

I wish to get out of this outfit.

Okay, well, that'll never happen.

Sheamus not looking to get rid of one of the other Usos.

All seriousness though, what a great opportunity guys for one of these WWE superstars.

One of these young stars here tonight.

He won't be JTG who's just been eliminated.

Well during the commercial break you were telling me that you thought this match was

ridiculous and you didn't understand why Mick Foley did this.

I don't understand why Mick Foley has done anything here tonight.

It's a great opportunity for one of these superstars to seize a huge opportunity.

Will it be Teki Miyasi, Unico, Kurt Hawkins?

Why is Mick Foley obsessed with the holiday season anyway?

I just don't get it.

I think maybe it has something to do with him being this fat of Santa Claus.

A lot of people enjoy the holidays being around their friends and family.

I know you don't.

You know what, maybe this should, Mick Foley should have competed in this match tonight.

Nice texture set me on Thanksgiving.

Wait, I was telling a story and then he just interrupted me.

Is it maybe Mick Foley could compete here because if he wanted, he could wish for a gift from Santa Claus.

And maybe he could wish for a new diet plan, like Atkins or something.

So you're telling about this text on saying Thanksgiving?

Yes, I wish you a happy Thanksgiving.

Oh, Hawkins!

Eliminated there and you wrote back, I hate Thanksgiving and I hate the holidays.

I do, and only Thanksgiving at all.

It's all political and I'm gonna give it to that at this show.

And look at Big Seek.

Yeah, the personification of domination.

Look at this standoff here.

Look at this here, Seek.

Two big brawlers.

Clear out guys, here we go.

Remember the rules of the battle oil.

Over the top rope, both feet hit the floor.

You are eliminated.

a man standing in the ring.

Very impressive, Sheamus.

Sheamus is getting the best of Ezekiel Jackson.

Sheamus just gets, he gets on those rolls and all that.

There's signification of domination.

And Ezekiel Jackson looking to eliminate himself.

Jackson, eliminated by Sheamus.

Who is that on Sheamus's back?

What matter now?

It was Johnny Curtis, Johnny Curtis eliminated.

Direct skill in there, time is so near, eats Slater, Yoshi Tatsu.

And there goes the Ushos.

And there goes Kofi Kitsune.

Take your nose at the antlers with you again.

Cole, you stole half my outfit earlier tonight.

So as the field begins to thin out, Cole, can you pick a winner here?

James.

Okay, there goes Yoshi Tatsu.

I mean, come on, I mean, James has been on an incredible role as of late.

And I'm gonna take more than one of these superstars I think to eliminate him.

A slew of superstars have been eliminated, Tyson Kidd holds on.

Come on, get rid of the DVI, Zipasi, thanks for coming, Ted.

Go hand out some more gifts to the idiots in the parking lot.

Hornswamble.

And look at Hornswamble.

Well, that's why there's a participant in this match, right?

Kid is leaving!

Well, can you blame him?

That little troll just cost Tyson an opportunity here!

What started with 20 is now down to seven superstars,

and this over-the-top rope, all I want for Christmas Battle Royale.

And again, the winner of this matchup has the opportunity

to ask for a special Christmas wish from Santa Claus.

All put together by our guest host tonight, Mick Foley.

Mick Foley enjoying his own holiday party back in the locker room area.

Many WWE and Hall of Famers are here tonight.

And just the Gabriel.

Dusty Rhodes as well.

Not sure about the strategy there of Gabriel putting himself in harm's way.

Being able to get eliminated by Jinder Mahal.

That's Gabriel's high risk offense.

Sometimes those things happen and now we are down to five men,

I believe, in this battle royal.

Unico, Titus O'Neil, he's Slater, just gets drilled.

Actually, it's six, sorry about that.

Much eggnog tonight.

Man!

How impressive has Titus O'Neil been?

What does he call that?

The clash of the Titus over on NXT, Titus O'Neil,

one of the leading rookies on that show.

And that's why you just called Titus O'Neil the rookie.

Yep, never turned your back, never celebrate, Seamus took advantage.

The spirited Seamus all smiles here.

And he's Slater looking to capitalize.

Again, Sheamus, Slater the one-man Southern Rock Band.

Along with Jinder Mahal hammering away on Sheamus, I'll tell you.

One of these guys who eliminate Sheamus, it would be huge.

Sheamus, the man in this matchup with the most experience.

Sheamus, two-time WWE Champion, the only Irish born champion in WWE history.

Tyler Rex from Outta Nowhere.

And just like that, you can see the mood of Sheamus completely changed.

Yeah, the temp are completely coming out of Sheamus.

Tyler Rex now.

But not eliminated because Rex went under the bottom rope.

Sheamus not eliminated either.

And again, Sheamus fighting out with Rex out there in the alleyway.

All the superstars are now still to the outside.

Well, the problem is, if you take out Sheamus-

Then you gotta get back on the right and then you're back over the top rope to eliminate it.

So, Utergo, Jinder Mahal, Heath Slater, and Tyler Rex working together to take out Sheamus.

This is an odd strategy, but it may be a successful strategy.

Yeah, but he may not be able to continue.

That's right.

That's right, ladies and gentlemen.

We forgot there's another participant in this matchup.

It's Hornswag.

It was under the ring and pulled that troll out.

Here we go.

Good.

Hornswag is finally going to get what he deserves.

Hey, you're an Elton.

Maybe you should go save him.

This is not good for Hornswaggle.

Hornswaggle is in the match, remember?

Okay, so then just pick him up and eliminate him.

Well, they've got to wear him down first.

They've got to get him to the point where they can eliminate.

Hornswaggle is a tough little looker.

If they're not careful, he can eliminate all four guys.

making sure that that he's down and out before they put him pretty sure that

Hornswaggle's been taken out humiliated here by these four super stars.

Good, toss him, toss him right into the front row.

But keep an eye on Sheamus.

Uh-oh, look out.

These four spent in time with Hornswaggle.

Sheamus able to recover.

See you by Tyler Rack.

and there's still some of us.

This is going to be great.

Come on, Samus, is your puppy.
