Kata: Greetings all and welcome to the SMJHL post draft battle royal live from Madison Square Garden, the mecca for pro wrestling. New SMJHL Commissioner Nobody has declared that since the draft and all the pissin and moanin in the media about draft positions and teams and other nonsense that he was gonna throw all these draftees in the ring and let them take their frustrations out on each other. And since nobody wanted to do it Nobody is the special guest referee for the match. I’m joined here as always by my legendary sidekick, Captain Lou Steelhead. How we feeling Captain?
Captain: Well Kata tonight the Captain is full of boloney. Tony Boloney’s that is. The good folks at Tony Boloney’s heard the Captain was gonna be in the area so they sent him over a few of their awesome subs to try. Gotta say my favorite reminds me of the newest Dragon, a sammy they call the Nuck 2.0. Kinda ironic eh? It comes loaded with steak, garlic aioli, smoked ham, smoked bacon, havarti and 2 fried eggs!
Kata: I know them eggs were sunny side up, either that or you have a yellow tyedye shirt on tonight, haven’t you ever heard of napkins? Same old Captain, but we here with a new bunch of draftees. What are your thoughts on this new group?
Captain: Well there’s a few dandys in there daddy but a lot of crybabies too. Maybe tonight we’ll see if they can walk the talk or talk the walk. Speakin of talkin the wok, you think I can get any Chinese delivery in this place?
Kata: Just once can we do a match without you stuffing yourself? Let’s just get started, shall we? Let’s go to the ring for the singing of the National Anthem by the SHL’s own Max Poulin.
And now our ring announcer, Howard Finkel. Take it away Fink!
Finkel: Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to Madison Square Garden. It’s time for your main event of the evening, a 32 man over the top battle royal. In order to be eliminated you must be thrown over the top rope and both feet must touch the ground. And now lets here it for Nobody, tonight’s special guest referee!
Captain: Kata there’s no referee? This is gonna get crazy. I need some crazy bread for that? Is there a Little Caesars around?

Kata: Well Captain the superstars are making their way down to the ring, any thoughts on potential rivalries or bad blood in this match?
Captain: I heard through the grapevine that one particular superstar is about to get a serious beatdown tonight and the whole roster can’t wait to see it go down.
Kata: I think its not a great big secret who that is Captain as we see Gareth Rush standing outside the ring. It’s looking like he’s refusing to enter! No shocker there. Is Nobody gonna do anything about this?
As we see all the superstars taunting Rush and some of the St Louis players trying to push them back so Rush can get in the ring Commissioner Nobody has had all of the nonsense he’s gonna stand. He is pointing his finger at Rush telling him if he doesn’t get in the ring he’ll personally throw him in. Nobody has ever seen Nobody like this. He’s hot. He grabs Rush by the mohawk and tosses him in to the Raptors and everyone else. There’s a huge rush to Rush as Jalopski and McScruff try and keep the other 29 superstars away from their new teammate. The superstars are having none of it as the teams from Kelowna, Montreal, Anchorage, Vancouver, Halifax and Detroit are all pounding on Jalopski and McScruff. Rush is surrounded by Selich, Voloshin, Darrow, Novak, Zidek and McCool. Nobody is not stopping things as the 6 Colorado superstars start beating the living hell out of Rush.
Captain: (Snickering) Nobody saw this beating coming Kata!
Kata: I do believe you’re right Lou. Nobody in his right mind saw this beat down coming. Selich picks up rush and nails him with a running powerslam. Rush is writhing in agony as Voloshin picks him off the mat. Voloshin delivers the skull crushing finale as all the other superstars keep Jalopski and McScruff pinned in the corners. Novack, Zidek and McCool toss Rush into an empty corner and start the unicorn stampede on the near unconscious Rush. Finally, Darrow steps up and picks up Rush who can barely stand at this point. And it’s Shattered Dreams for Rush! Darrow picks up Rush and tosses him out of the ring and Rush is the first one eliminated as Nobody looks on smiling.
Captain: Well there’s just desserts for ya. Speaking of dessert, I’ll be right back!
Kata: Every freakin time I gotta finish by myself. Sigh well maybe now it’s time for the rest of the action to start. Jalopski and McScruff expended all their energy trying to help their teammate and are tossed out next. Arsenich takes out Jalopski and Murphy with the take out of McScruff. The 2 ladies entered into tonight’s battle are more than holding their own. The baddest woman on the planet Mika Mayfield is going after Ivars Ozols. Mayfield with the clothesline and down goes Ozols. Mayfield tosses Ozols into the ropes and takes him over the top with a running clothesline and Ozols is gone from the event. Lia Lockhart has her sights set on Sanyi Kocsis, they’re going at it trading blows in the center of the ring. Kocsis scoops up Lockhart and hits her with an AA. He can’t believe it as she bounces right back up and stares him down. Lockhart with a boot to the lower abdomen area. Lockhart picks up Kocsis and presses him high overhead and tosses him out to the floor and Kocsis is gone. Kvalheim and Fujikawa teaming up and laying a beat down on William Goose. Goose feebly tries to fight back, hitting Fujikawa with a nice shot to the jaw but it’s too little too late as Kvalheim tosses the Goose out. Muerto and Bouchard come in on Kvalheim and Fujikawa from behind with big clubbing forearms to the back. They grab their legs and toss them over and turn back toward the rest of the superstars. Kvalheim and Fujikawa both grab the ropes and try to hold on. With Nobody watching Kvalheim skins the cat and slips back into the ring. His foot hits Fujikawa’s hand and Fujikawa loses his grip and falls to the floor. He has a slight glare at his teammate as he walks to the locker-room.
Captain: No one said being teammates was a piece of cake Kata. Speakin of cake look what I found back in catering. German chocolate too!
Kata: Will you stop as Gorilla Monsoon used to say to his annoying partner all the time! We’ve got a match to call. Montgomery and Carey are trying to double-team the beast Kenji Yoshimura. Carey tries to go for the chokeslam on Yoshimura but Yoshimura counters and grabs Montgomery in one hand and Carey in the other for an amazing double chokeslam! Cash Considerations and Andy Kerr quickly take advantage of Yoshimura’s handiwork and toss out Montgomery and Carey. Seems like all they’ve done is anger the beast though. Yoshimura grabs Kerr and F5s him right out onto Nobody outside the ring. Nobody gets into the ring and starts jawing with Yoshimura. Considerations tries to pull Nobody away so he can deal with Yoshimura and Nobody tosses Considerations from the ring. Nobody is fuming as he goes back to his post outside the ring. I don’t think we’ve seen the last of his involvement in this match. Yoshimura is a house of fire right now. He grabs Murphy by the back of the head and sends him over the top. Williamson is the next to feel Yoshimura’s wrath as he’s sent over the top. Elias Hughes had been trying to hide away in a corner and stay out of danger but Yoshimura charges into him and he crumples to the mat. Yoshimura tosses him out and that’s now 4 or 5 superstars that have fallen prey to the beast incarnate. Muerto and Bouchard are working over Griffith Cadwalader and have almost got him over the ropes. Cadwalader is hanging on to the ropes for dear life. Kvalheim climbs the turnbuckle and sends all 3 men flying over with a missile dropkick. At the last second with Nobody looking on closely he grabs Cadwalader and somehow manages to pull him back in before his feet hit the floor. Muerto and Bouchard are now eliminated. We’re about halfway through this battle royal Captain, you have any favorites?
Captain: I gotta say this German chocolate cake is definitely my favorite.
Kata: For the love of…. nevermind. Donnie Dicks and Jimmy Cahill now mixing it up with McCool, Zidek and Novak. They almost have Novak out before McCool and Zidek come to the rescue. As Novak slides under the top rope and back into the ring he grabs Dicks (lol) and Cahill so McCool and Zidek can soften them up. Dicks is the first one to soften as McCool jerks him out over the top from the ring apron. Zidke goes for the trouble in paradise on Cahill and as Cahill goes over the top he knocks McCool off the apron eliminating both superstars. Novak and Zidek can’t believe it as they lean over the ropes trying to appease a very pissed off Guy McCool. Mayfield and Lockhart sneak up behind and grab Novak and Zidek from the legs and flip them over. Zidek lands on top of Novak and his feet have not touched the floor. Nobody is watching as he stands on Novak’s belly and using it as a trampoline springs back onto the apron. He climbs the turnbuckle looking to take someone out and he leaps right at Selich who catches him in midair and flips him over his back out to the floor below. A short-lived reprieve for Zidek. That leaves Selich, Lockhart, Kvalheim, Voloshin, Mayfield, Darrow, Yoshimura, Sawchuk, Arsenich and Cadwalader left in the ring. We’re down to 10 of the original 32 superstars who started this battle royal. Surprisingly the 2 ladies still in this thing Captain,
Captain: Yeah but wait a minute I thought Lockhart’s name was Leopold?
Kata: Well her father wanted a child named after him so kind of like the old Johnny Cash song Boy Named Sue we have Girl Named Leopold. I was told she goes by Lia so that’s what we calling her until we hear different ya got it? Sawchuk and Arsenich now going at it. Arsenich with heavy blows to the head has Sawchuk on the ground. As Sawchuk slowly gets to his feet Arsenich climbs to the second rope, looks like he’s going for Paydirt. As he springs from the rope Sawchuk, who was playing possum, hits him with an RKO
so lethal that he flies backwards and over the rope and is eliminated. 9 superstars left. Darrow and Cadwalader going at it now. Darrow with the heavy forearms and boots to the gut. Darrow does his patented taunt, breathing in and getting ready to strike. Cadwalader suddenly disgusted grabs Darrow by the head and drops him with the dirty deeds. He tosses Darrow out onto the floor and is on the ropes doing some taunting of his own. Voloshin takes advantage of the situation and quickly grabs Cadwalader by the legs and flips him over eliminating him. We’re down to 7. The 2 giants in the ring face each other in the center as the other superstars stall to catch a second wind. Selich and Yoshimura stand face to face glaring at each other.
They start trading thundering right hands. Yoshimura staggers Selich. He tries to get him up on his back for the F5. Meanwhile Voloshin has Nobody up on the ring apron complaining about something. Nobody’s in his face as they’re really trading barbs. Voloshin shoves Nobody and he grabs the rope to try and keep from falling. As he does a staggering Yoshimura, struggling to keep Selich on his back, falls back into the rope that’s been pulled down by Nobody. Both Selich and Yoshimura fall out of the ring to the floor. Nobody looks on stunned by what just occurred. He’s furious at Voloshin and grabs him by the hair and pulls him onto the floor where they start brawling. All hell is breaking loose as there’s just Kvalheim and Sawchuk left along with the 2 ladies Lockhart and Mayfield. I don’t know how these ladies have lasted so long Captain. It just goes to show that women are just as good as the men in the SMJHL.
Captain: Captain Lou has always been a lady’s man Kata. As one of the greatest tag team managers in history I would advise them to team up right now against the 2 men left.
Kata: That may be the first smart thing you’ve said all night Lou. Looks like Nobody has finally dealt with Voloshin and he has his attention back on the ring. Indeed, Mayfield and Lockhart have decided to team up. They’ve set their sights on Sawchuk. Mayfield with the big clothesline. Lockhart follows with a huge Samoan drop. Sawchuk is flattened like a pancake by Lockhart’s ass as she falls on top of him. Kvalheim tires to take advantage but Mayfield sees him coming, she quickly slaps the arm breaker on Kvalheim. Kvalheim is screaming in agony as Lockhart gets up and tosses out the almost unconscious Sawchuk. Lockhart runs to the ropes and comes off to drop a big leg on Kvalheim but she misses and nailed Mayfield instead. That breaks the hold on Kvalheim as Mayfield gets up in Lockhart’s face. The 2 ladies are screaming at each other and Kvalheim tries to take advantage. He tries for the double clothesline but the 2 women just stand there and look at him as he bounces right off. They look at each other and both of them grab Kvalheim by the tights and toss him over. And it’s just the 2 ladies left in the ring. Nobody knew this was going to happen I’m betting. Mayfield runs to the rope, comes off and does a shoulder block on Lockhart and bounces right off as Lockhart stares at her. Lockhart tries the same maneuver and gets the same result. The 2 women now start trading blows. Mayfield with a boot to the guts. Lockhart is down and Mayfield slaps the arm breaker on her. Lockhart is screaming with pain. Somehow Mayfield needs to realize she’s gotta get Lockhart over the top. Lockhart gets to her knees with Mayfield hanging on to the arm breaker.
All of a sudden with a huge burst of strength Lockhart gets to her feet with Mayfield hanging on to that arm breaker for dear life. Lockhart slowly moves toward the ropes and had Mayfield dangling over them still hanging on to the arm breaker. Lockhart is desperate now and she can’t get Mayfield to break the hold. She rears back and headbutts Mayfield and there’s a sickening crack as Mayfield’s nose is shattered. She lets go of Lockhart’s arm and falls meekly to the ground as Lockhart stands victorious in the ring. Nobody comes into the ring to raise her hand in victory but Lockhart shrugs him off. She slides out of the ring to her fallen teammate and gently picks her up and carries her back to the locker-room. And that’s all from Madison square garden for tonight. For Captain Lou steelhead, Howard Finkel and Nobody this is Kata Vilde saying goodnight SMJHL.
