Congratulations to all 4 men for a show saving performance.

Anarchy in the Arena: Wheeler Yuta, Jon Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli & Bryan Danielson vs. Adam Page, Kenny Omega and the Young Bucks

Gotta admit Wayward Son is a great entrance song. They are brawling already in the crowd and the band is still playing. Don Callis has joined the booth. The great thing about this is that I can pretty much write anything down and it's very likely happening.  The referee is bleeding.  Tony Schiavone is losing his poop at the booth. 

Hangman reveals that his eye is fine. Yuta saves Danielson from a screwdriver.  And I'm not talking about the vodka drink. For the record, I saw Yuta 2 years ago at an elks hall in Worcester, MA. Cool to see him main eventing a PPV.

The band is still playing.  Things slowed down for about 20 seconds and we're back at the insanity.  The lead singer gets superkicked. He's out the music stops.  Moxley is getting choked by the announce table by Omega. Moxley is bleeding. Moxley with a clothesline to Omega. Matt Jackson northern lights' Yuta down the ramp.  We've seen 2 wrestling holds in all of this insanity. 

Page accidently with a boot to Omega's face. Danielson chokes page with wrist tape.  Claudio and Matt Jackson make their way to the mezzanine.

Oh, sorry, here's a big poker chip laced with barb wire. Omega gets suplexed into it. Claudio and matt are in the concession area now. Here's a fork by Moxley, he makes a relief map of Egypt out of Omegas head. Somehow, Omega is not bleeding and Moxley ends up on the barb wire.

Page is bleeding a gusher, as is Nick Jackson.  Danielson is just tearing away at Nick Jackson's head.

Claudio and Matt Jackson are outside the arena, but this is supposed to be anarchy IN the arena. They're fighting in the bed of a pickup truck. 

Yuta is hitting people with what appears to be a lawn blower. There's Nick Jackson thrown off the ramp. Yuta has kind of stayed in the ring, proving that he wise beyond his years.  It IS, in fact, a leaf blower they are using. Claudio is back Nick Jackson kicks out of Mox's Gotch piledriver.

Moxley applies a Boston crab to Nick and Yuta chokes him at the same time.

Matt JAckson has returned from the pickup truck piledriver. Matt kicks Moxley with an exploding boot superkick. Never saw that before. Buckshot lariat by Page and Yuta KICKS OUT.

The BCC pulls off the explosive boot of Matt Jackson. Oh good, here are thumbtacks.  The bare foot of Matt gets rammed into them. Death Rider for 2 by Moxley.  Ummm... a lot of nuttiness is happening. How do Johnson and Trionfo do this so well?

Busaiku knees by Danielson. Matt tries to save his teammates but the BCC shove thumbtacks in his mouth. Uppercut by Claudio for 2 as the Elite make the save.  Omega and Page fire up. Danieslon gets eliminated by the One Winged Angel for 2. Yuta made the save. 

Yuta fights for his life against OMega and Page. It aint working. Callis with a distraction. Omega with a V trigger and Callis enters the ring. Konosuke Takeshita interferes and saves Callis. Screwdriver shot by Yuta and he scores the pin on Omega.

WINNERS THE BLACKPOOL COMBAT CLUB.

Callis strangles Omega with a leather belt.

As the ring announcer said after the Rocky Balboa vs. Thunderlips match, "See you next year...thank god"

The BCC celebrate as we go off the air
