VIPs' Double-A Wins Battle Bowl, Arcadian, Beast Also Get Shots



February 1, 2010
by Trapper Tom, Ring Announcer/Wrestling Journalist

Double-A Anthony Alexander, who for a long time chased after the World Heavyweight Championship currently held by Shawn Blanchard, says he'll sit on his Number One contendership following a shocking win at Battle Bowl. The same cannot be said of Alex Arcadian and The Blood Beast, who also earned shots at KSWA Gold on January 23.

The evening started auspiciously enough with Alexander hitting the ring at the onset of the event. His strode to the ring in unfamiliar music, with the Advisor to the VIPs, Frank Durso, trailing not far behind. The Prime Time Player came to the ring and basically “ran down” the fans who cheered him for many a year. He added that The Latin Assassin earned the “sneak attack” that he received at FanFest. Alexander noted that two years ago Latin sustained a career-threatening back injury and that he was the only Megastar who visited him in the hospital every day. He said that Latin was ungrateful for his friendship.

That brought out the South Side Projects, Bronx, New York resident, to cheering fans (some of whom donned bandannas over their faces). Latin entered the ring, took the microphone and answers Alexander's charges. The Assassin also made the disagreement personal, by saying that his own son asked if Alexander's change of heart was because of something the youngster did.

Both men exchange barbs until Frank Durso gets too close to Latin. The Assassin pops him. That brings out the rest of the VIPs, who rush Latin. Starr, Martin and Blanchard grab The Assassin and Alexander taunts, then punches him down. Durso gouges at Latin. He gets to his feet and he's met with Alexander's Prime Time Cancellation.

The KSWA Tag Team Champions, Vinnie Stone and Ric Rumsky, charge the ring and clear it after the attack. They stay with The Latin Assassin as the VIPs mouth off and head to the locker room.

He says anyone who beats him for the Gold will also receive $10,000. Justin Sane makes his way to the ring wearing the dress he is forced to wear as a stipulation of his loss to Lord Zoltan at FanFest.

The Main Event: Battle Bowl II Battle Royal

The rules are simple: two men enter and will wrestle for two minutes. Every minute thereafter a Megastar will enter the fray. The only way to be eliminated is to be tossed over the top rope. The last three competitors will chose envelopes that will determine their shots at the three KSWA titles. Lou Martin and Justin Sane draw the first two positions. Lou is all over Justin from the ring of the bell. He hits punches, kicks and a side slam. After two minutes, the first member of the Rookie Class of 2010, the “Ice Man” Tony Johnson, from St. Louis, Missouri, hits the ring. Martin attempts to befriend Johnson, but he is briskly met with a fist. Justin Sane and Tony Johnson double team Martin by suplexing him.

The Latin Assassin is out next. He informs the others to get away from Martin because the VIP stalwart is his.

Justin Sane is the first to be eliminated.

The Great Toyota is next. The Ice Man goes to work on Martin. Martin pleads with Toyota to let him alone.

Mitch Napier is in next. He goes after the Great Toyota because Battle Bowl is “every man for himself.”

Double-A Anthony Alexander is out next. Ice Man and Great Toyota are almost immediately eliminated. Johnson made quite a few friends in his short debut, if fan reaction is any indication. Latin Assassin chokes Double-A.

Next out is Ric Rumsky. He goes after Double-A.

Next up is another rookie, Miami, Florida's J-Flash. Lou Martin, upon seeing the newcomer, shouts out “Who are you?” J-Flash, like Johnson, goes after Martin.

Latin Assassin nearly tosses Mitch Napier, but the youngster is able to hold on.

Next out is Lord Zoltan with Mayor Mystery. A veteran of many Battle Royals, Lord Zoltan is very slow to get in the ring.

Ric Rumsky and J-Flash are eliminated. It should be pointed out that J-Flash impressively flipped himself back into the ring from the outside before ultimately being tossed.

The King Del Douglas is next out.

The Drunken Luchadore Joey Quervo is called. He rushes into the rings, ducks Alexander's big boot, dives over the top rope and races to the bar in the back. The fans howl in appreciation as Joey eliminates himself just to spend time with the Krazies.

Mitch Napier is tossed.

Ali Kaida is next.

Lord Zoltan goes over the top rope next.

On the inside, Lou Martin is choking both Latin Assassin and Kris Kash, who are prone on the mat.

Kris Kash is eliminated.

The Latin Assassin, who before the match expressed that he “needed” the win to catapult himself back into the title hunt, is surprisingly eliminated. Dr. Devastation Lou Martin, another early favorite, and the first man in this year's Battle Bowl, is eliminated.

That leaves Alex Arcadian, The Blood Beast and Anthony Alexander. Arcadian is tossed. He is, however, assured of an envelope with a title shot. Two titans, Blood Beast and Anthony Alexander, go nose-to-nose in the middle of the ring.

Latin Assassin and Lou Martin, who are still at ringside, battle each other to the back.

Blood Beast goes for a big move, Anthony ducks, pulls the top rope and Blood Beast is launched over and onto the floor below.

The winner of Battle Bowl II is Anthony Alexander.

Alex choses an envelope from a fan. It's opened and he ears a Golden Triangle Championship match sometime in 2010.

The Blood Beast choses an envelope and it's determined that he and a partner of his choice have a chance at the KSWA Tag Team Championship.

That leaves the winner, Anthony Alexander, with a shot at KSWA World Heavyweight Champion Shawn Blanchard's title. Alexander shouts that he will never cash it in against Blanchard. Thus ends Battle Bowl II.

Next up, the KSWA celebrates its 10th anniversary at the Lawrenceville Moose on Saturday, February 20. As announced, Blanchard will wrestle Starr in the Main Event.
