BATTLE RIOT

Elimination by pinfall, submission or over the top.

So, we start off with the two brothers going back and forth.  They ended up kicking each other with stereo kicks to the head.

The third man out is… Brody King.

King hit the ring and clotheslined each of the brothers, who came back to hit a double team cannonball in the corner. 

The fourth man was our first surprise…Ken Doane.

Lance Anoa’I was out next.

Out came Tom Lawlor.

Everyone battled.

Kevin Sullivan was out next.  He started spiking everyone.

Next out was Fallah Bahh.

The crowd is all standing so it's a  VERY hard to do detailed PBP.

Next out was Swoggle, who got a huge pop.

After that it was Headshrinker Samu.  He cleaned house and went to the ropes to celebrate, only to be dumped by his own relative, Lance Anoa'i!

ACH was next out.  Everyone battled.

Next out was Konnan.  Huge pop.  The crowd is popping for every entrance.  He went at it with Fenix.

Next out was Barrington Hughes.  He and Fallah faced off.  It's a Hoss fight.

Jimmy Yuta was next.

Next out was Kiota Brazil.  Its all battling and near eliminations.  Hughes splashed Fenix in the corner 

Richard Holliday was the next competitor.

Fred Yehi hit the ring next.

Jason Cade was next.  The arrivals are coming FAST.

Everyone tried to get Hughes over and they all went over the ropes, leaving only Tom Lawlor.

Teddy Hart in the ring,  Hart went through the middle rope and hit a springboard moonsault to the floor on everyone.  OK then!  Well, Hart left ringside, so I guess he's eliminated too!

The next competitor is Vandal Ortagun.  

He was followed by Mikey Mondo of the Spirit Squad.  Lawlor immediately choked him out and he tapped.

PCO was out next.  He drilled Lawlor with a big knee.   He beat down PCO on the mat before being tossed off.  They battled.

The Tahitian Warrior was next.  

Next out was Simon Gotch.

Homicide was the next competitor.  He went right after PCO as Team Filthy watched and let them fight.

Harry Smith was next out.   

The next competitor was...well, the BWO logo flashed up and the place went NUTS.  It was the Blue Meanie!  The crowd liked that.  Meanie tried to get Homicide to dance with him but instead was kicked and tossed over the top.

One of the Dirty Blondes was next.

One of Callihan's seconds were out.

Shane Strickland was next.  Big pop for him.

Callihan's other second was next.  They worked over Strickland.

Dragon was next.

The other member of the Dirty Blondes was next.

The next out was Joey Ryan!

MJF was next.

Jake Hager was next.

Sami Callihan was the next competitor.

John Hennigan was next.  Everyone battled.  He hit a springboard clothesline on Callihan.  

Jimmy Havoc was out next.  Strickland and Callihan had some great exchanges.  Morrison small packaged and pinned one of Callihan's cohorts.

Strickland tossed out Havok.  Morrison and Swagger battled.  Callihan was beating on Strickland until Lawlor locked on a sleeper, choked him out and dropped him to the floor, eliminating him.  

It came down to Lawlor and Hager.  They battled back and forth. The crowd chanted for "Filthy Tom."  Lawlor hit a big suplex off the ropes.  The crowd chanted "MLW."  Lawlor nailed some right hands.  They battled back and forth.  Lawlor nailed a series of knee strikes.  Lawlor covered him for a close two count.  The crowd chanted for Lawlor.

Lawlor climbed on Hager's back with a sleeper.  Hager stumbled around the ring trying to escape before dropping to his knees.  Hager dropped down and escaped, transitioning into the anklelock.  Lawlor tried to make it to the ropes but was pulled back to the center.  Lawlor climbed the ropes to try and break the momentum but Hager pulled him back down.  The crowd chanted, "Please don't tap."

Lawlor again pulled himself up and made it to the top, forcing Swagger over the top for the elimination.

Your winner, Tom Lawlor!

After the match, Matt Striker interviewed Tom Lawlor, who said he was going to have a MLW title shot anytime he wanted and wanted to take the initials MLW and make them FTL...for Filthy Tom Lawlor.

That’s it from MLW tonight!
