JOHN SIMONS: Welcome back, loyal CSWA fans. I’m John Simons giving the play-by-play for the Title Shot ring here at CSWA ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION: Coming of Age. Joining me this evening is Mr. Manny Juarez.

MANNY JUAREZ: ‘Allo, Juan.

SIMONS: Sorry, Manny, my name is John. Me llamo, John.

JUAREZ: That is what I say. ‘Juan’.

SIMONS: No time to argue the finer points of my name, Manny, as the action set to unfold is now, umm, unfolding.

JUAREZ: You, sir, are a dictionary of words.

SIMONS: This is completely unprofessional, Manny!

JUAREZ: Perhaps we should watch the ring, Juan, where los hombres of El Asso Wipo and Senor Bag of Crap, otherwise known as the Mexican Toiletries, are taking an early advantage over Jacob McKail and Kevin Kenwright.

SIMONS: Right they are, but you can’t count them as the early favorites here with Eli Flair, Lindsay Troy, and even Dan Ryan’s Alter Ego battling it out in the middle of the ring, leaving Peter Lenex, Xias and Lance Spencer in a three-way slugfest.

JUAREZ: This is true, Juan, but my money is on los Mexicanos! Our Latino heritage is fueled by a hatred for the white devil with his sanitization and working indoor plumbing!

SIMONS: Even so, McKail and Kenwright seem to have Misters Wipo and Crap (did I really just say that?) up against the ropes. Kenwright whips El Asso Wipo right towards the back of McKail and Senor Bag of Crap, but Lenex has broken free from Xias and Spencer in the corner and comes out of nowhere to decapitate El Asso Wipo with a clothesline that could cut down a sixteen wheeler going at top speed.

JUAREZ: Your how-you-call-them… metaphors… are pretty good, Juan.

SIMONS: Thanks, Manny.

JUAREZ: Here, let me try. Lenex picking up the Asso Wipo and driving in hard left and rights. McKail has given up on eliminating Senor Crap, and has charged into Kenwright a la shades of Lou Thesz. Lenex drives a hard knee into Asso Wipo’s midsection, much like my father did to my mother on the day of my birth…

SIMONS: WOAH! Nice try, but no luck, Manny. You’ve been down in Cuba too long, and speaking of down for a long time, Lindsay Troy seems to be taking a beating at the hands of Eli Flair as Dan Ryan’s Alter Ego was just dropped by a hay-maker.

JUAREZ: You know, in my mother tongue, El Asso Wipo means “after the good eating.” Lenex moves over to Xias and Spencer, tapping them on the shoulders and motioning to the Mexican Toiletries at the opposite side of the ring. All three men charge and…NOOOO!!

SIMONS: The Mexican Toiletries have just been sent over the top rope by a storm of running clotheslines that sent them over the top. So much for your Mexicanos winning the coveted title shot and moving on the middle-ring of this Gold Rush match!

JUAREZ: There is still hope, Juan, in the mysterious masked man known as Dan Ryan’s Alter Ego.

SIMONS: You can’t be that naïve, can you?

JUAREZ: He is el luchador! He fights for the peoples, Juan!

SIMONS: What he’s fighting for right now is the right to call in a future challenge for the UNIFIED Title… assuming whoever wins this ring doesn’t go on to make the most of their time in the center ring challenging Troy Windham tonight! Either way, this masked man is still staggering as he pulls himself up after a vicious left from Eli Flair hit him in the sweet spot upside his head. Lindsay Troy and Eli still battling it out, and a little more room to work as the Mexican Toiletries have been eliminated early on here at CSWA ANNIVERSARY.

JUAREZ: Quit reminding them of La Raza’s great failure, Juan.

SIMONS: Lenex, Xias and Spencer spend no time in celebrating, and immediately Spencer and Xias are lifting Lenex over the top rope, but Lenex has a death-grip…

JUAREZ: Like my mother on the night of my conception…

SIMONS: Once again, you fail at life, Manny. Kevin Kenwright and Jacob McKail are now up, and McKail sends Kenwright on the defensive with a European Uppercut. A second one finds its mark. A third one, and Kenwright is having trouble staying on his feet. Kenwright now backed up into the Xias, Spencer and Lenex mess.

JUAREZ: I thinks that Spencer doesn’t like people bumping into him...

SIMONS: Not at all, and Spencer just dropped Kenwright with a standing roundhouse kick! A good showing from the rookie making his professional wrestling debut this evening.

JUAREZ: What a way to be baptized into the fires of the industry! At CSWA ANNIVERSARY, in a historic match like Gold Rush…

SIMONS: Which is exactly why I said it, my third-world friend. Spencer and McKail now having strong words as Lenex has fought off Xias and both of THOSE men stand trading punches on either side of the ropes.

JUAREZ: Lenex is in a tough spot here, one wrong move, and he’s eliminated.

SIMONS: I think Lindsay Troy, Dan Ryan’s Alter Ego and Eli Flair know this, as they all seem to be leaning up against the opposite ropes, eyeing the four men brawling on the other side of the ring. Troy, Alter Ego and Flair charge at Spencer, McKail and Xias, but the rookies catch the veterans off guard, and shoulder toss them over the ropes on to the apron next to Lenex.

JUAREZ: This is too easy, they just watched how The Mexican Toiletries were eliminated and are using the same cheapo tactics!

SIMONS: Don’t be so sure, Manny! Spencer, McKail and Xias each go for a rolling elbow to Troy, Flair and Ryan’s Alter Ego, but they are each blocked, and caught, in turn, with a shoulder through the ropes, doubling over all three men. Kenwright is now up to his feet and looking at the three men next to him, and the four wrestlers on the other side of the ropes.

JUAREZ: Too late! Here comes the pain!

SIMONS: Lenex is the first off the apron with a springboard dropkick, followed by Flair with a springboard flying uppercut, Lindsay Troy with a springboard mule kick, and Dan Ryan’s Alter Ego forgoes the springboard all together and flies over the top rope with a shoulder block. Kenwright, Spencer, McKail and Xias go down like dominos.

JUAREZ: Teamwork can win dis match for you, but it does not matter, Juan, because SOMEONE has to win!

SIMONS: That’s why it’s a wrestling match, you ignorant…

(CUTTO: A soft tap comes over the arena speakers. Troy Windham leans against the ropes in the center circle, watching the Title Shot ring intently. He raises the microphone up.)

WINDHAM: Lindsay, why don’t you just finish this already, and come over here to the center ring to give daddy some sugar?

SIMONS: Lindsay Troy kips up and immediately starts jaw-jacking Windham. Dan Ryan’s Alter Ego is first up after Lindsay, and makes his way behind her as she leans betweens the ropes to yell at Windham.

WINDHAM: Come on, Lindsay, can’t make it over here right now? Weak sauce, sweet pea.

JUAREZ: Lindsay looks pissed. A woman should not talk that way to her husband.

SIMONS: Rightfully so, Manny. Windham has her attention, and Dan Ryan’s Alter Ego is going to try and capitalize here! He’s got Lindsay’s legs off the ground, and she looks like a rat just jumped out of the garbage can!

JUAREZ: Where else are they supposed to jump out of?

SIMONS: Gross. Ryan’s Alter Ego looking to toss Lindsay through the ropes, and he uses his size advantage to toss her legs through the ropes!

JUAREZ: Lindsay Troy has just been eliminated!!

SIMONS: NO! Ryan’s Alter Ego thought he’d done the work, but Lindsay held on with one hand, and is skinning the cat, so to speak.

JUAREZ: Skinning a cat? No wonder the rat is running around free out of the garbage can.

SIMONS: Flair is up and trading punches with Ryan’s Alter Ego once again as Lenex raises himself up to survey the carnage around the ring. He spots Lindsay Troy out the corner of his eye, and he’s charging! Lenex with a shoulder to the small of Lindsay Troy’s back, and another! He keeps working on that lower back, and grapples her from behind and lets loose with a back-drop driver!

JUAREZ: A WRESTLING MOVE!!!

SIMONS: And one that just crumpled The Queen of the Ring on her neck. Lenex wasting no time, as he pulls Lindsay up by her hair.

WINDHAM: Oh, that’s too bad, Lindsay. I thought you were going to win for a minute.

JUAREZ: Uh-oh.

SIMONS: Lindsay Troy just went from rag-doll to Tonka Truck, and pushed over Lenex to get back to the ropes to yell at Windham. Lenex scrambles to his feet as Dan Ryan’s Alter Ego suplexes Eli Flair over the four bodies still writhing on the ground with a sickening crunch.

JUAREZ: I don’t think Lenex is done with Lindsay, yet, Juan.

WINDHAM: Lindsay, why don’t you just come out of the ring right now, and hustle that ass right over to MY ring, a ring you’ll never get to…

SIMONS: The UNIFIED Champion doesn’t have to wait for Lindsay to eliminate herself, because here comes Lenex! Lenex slides out to the ring apron, and drops Lindsay with a jawbreaker on the top rope. Lenex rolls back under the bottom rope, grabs Lindsay, and sends her over the top rope with a suplex!

WINDHAM: OH! Too bad, so sad!

(CUTTO: Lindsay Troy charges the middle ring, but is immediately detained by security who have to fight to get her backstage.)

JUAREZ: Lindsay Troy has been eliminated. Now she can concentrate on being a better wife for her loving husband. Sometimes, as men, we must all, how you say, put them in their place.

SIMONS: Folks, that’s J-U-A-R-E-Z. Please address all letters and postcards… Seven men remain here in the Title Shot ring of the Gold Rush match at ANNIVERSARY! Lenex looking happy with himself, but as he turns around he catches a double dropkick from Xias and McKail that sends him to the canvas.

JUAREZ: I didn’t even see the rest of the wrestlers get up after Eli Flair was dropped on them like a ton of bricks.

SIMONS: Hey! There you go, Manny! That’s a metaphor that works. Congrats!

JUAREZ: My English is getting very good, yes?

SIMONS: No, but your metaphors are.

JUAREZ: Oh, good.

SIMONS: Kenwright and Spencer seem to be taking turns between punching Dan Ryan’s Alter Ego in the corner and kicking a downed Eli Flair.

JUAREZ: Come on, luchadoro! You know, Juan, Dan Ryan’s Alter Ego is an amazing wrestler, unlike the man he named himself after. Dan Ryan is muy horrible!

SIMONS: Good lord, Manny. Have you lost your mind? It’s obvious who’s beneath the mask. Can’t you tell it’s just…

JUAREZ: HOLY MARY MOTHER OF CHRISTO!

SIMONS: No, but that would be impressive.

JUAREZ: NO, JUAN! Ryan’s Alter Ego just leveled Kenwright and Spencer with a pair of back elbows, and Flair is up in a heartbeat.

SIMONS: Looks like A.E. and Flair were playing possum and waiting for the fresh meat to come to them.

JUAREZ: My wife, she likes the possum meat.

SIMONS: Did you find it next to the rat in the garbage can down there in Cuba?

JUAREZ: Huh?

SIMONS: Flair whips Spencer into the opposite corner, and Ryan’s Alter Ego whips Kenwright into Spencer! Alter Ego charges the stacked corner and pops Kenwright in the dome with a running back elbow. Flair right behind to finish the deed, but changes his path and blasts Ryan’s Alter Ego with a clothesline! Flair mounts up as Kenwright and Spencer start going at it.

JUAREZ: What is this Flair man doing?

SIMONS: Flair starts in on the laces to the mask of Dan Ryan’s Alter Ego. Troy Windham looks on, intrigued, from the center ring. Laces out, Dan! Laces out!

JUAREZ: How can this Flair man disgrace the luchador traditions of masked wrestling?!? He es Diablo!

SIMONS: And there are many who would agree with you. Flair has the mask from the top, but Ryan’s Alter Ego is fighting it by gripping the bottom of the mask. McKail and Xias break off from trying to toss out Lenex to come out Flair. McKail with a right kick to Ryan’s Alter Ego’s gut. Xias with a left kick. McKail with a right! ALTER EGO HAS LOST HIS GRIP AND THE MASK IS OFF!!!

(CUTTO: The crowd hushes in anticipation of the mask being ripped off, and as soon as it’s off the only sound before the crowd erupts is Troy Windham’s appalling gasp.)

JUAREZ: High Holy Hell! It’s DAN RYAN!!!!!

SIMONS: You’re an idiot, but it looks like Troy Windham is joining you!

(CUTTO: Troy Windham, complaining to security outside the ring and the Center Ring Referee about Dan Ryan being involved in the Title Shot ring.)

SIMONS: Looks like Windham is voicing his opinion that Dan Ryan should NOT be involved in this match!

JUAREZ: Dan Ryan has horn-swoggled us all!

SIMONS: Once again, your idiocy amazes me, Manny.

JUAREZ: Thank you for being amazed by me, Juan.

SIMONS: Believe me, you’re very welcome. Flair takes a step back from Ryan and Ryan ‘hulks up’ and stands to face McKail and Xias after they lay in with another pair of kicks. McKail is first to taste the mat, followed closely by Xias. McKail backpedals on his ass into the corner, begging Dan Ryan for mercy, but there is no sanctuary tonight, ladies and gentlemen.

JUAREZ: Look at the strength of Ryan! He just lifted up that man from the corner!

SIMONS: Dan Ryan pressing up McKail, and Xias is up and charging, but Eli Flair catches Xias by the arm, and whips him into the ropes. Xias back off the ropes, and Ryan tosses McKail into Xias and both men go over the top rope!!

JUAREZ: Jacob McKail and Xias have been eliminated!

SIMONS: We’re down to five, and two have already tasted CSWA Unified gold in their careers. The other three are newcomers to See-Ess-Dub, but it’s still anyone’s game!

JUAREZ: Like Jenga.

SIMONS: Not really, no. Peter Lenex and Kevin Kenwright have Lance Spencer in a two-man vertical suplex as Dan Ryan and Eli Flair stare each other down from across the ring. Spencer lands with a dull thud, and Lenex and Kenwright are laying the boots to Spencer. Flair breaks the stare…

JUAREZ: You know rhyming!

SIMONS: Yup.

JUAREZ: …OH! Flair just dropped a knee to the back of Spencer’s head, and here comes Dan Ryan. He pulls Flair off of Spencer, and the staredown lasts only an instant as Ryan joins in the gang-bang…

SIMONS: You can’t say gang-bang, even on pay-per-view…

JUAREZ: Donkey show?

SIMONS: Ask your amigos the Mexican Toiletries about that one, but it’s 4-on-1 as Lance Spencer is power bombed by Peter Lenex, and promptly thrown out by the other four men.

JUAREZ: Tough luck. Lance Spencer has been eliminated.

SIMONS: Four men remain: Dan Ryan, Eli Flair, Peter Lenex and Kevin Kenwright.

JUAREZ: Finally! Now we can see some wrestling.

SIMONS: Flair and Kenwright pair up, and Ryan and Lenex start jaw-jacking back and forth. Flair takes advantage first, and gets Kenwright with an arm-wringer, but Triple-K twists and turns and kips up out of it, and turns Flair’s arm into a pretzel of it’s own with an arm-wringer.

JUAREZ: Ryan and Lenex back off, and Ryan holds out his hand. He’s motioning towards Flair. I think he wants a momentary truce to take out one of the men who helped build CSWA!

SIMONS: Manny, that’s the smartest thing you’ve said all night. Kenwright still with the arm-wringer, and he slips underneath it into a hammer-lock on Flair. Flair reaches back, but can’t get a hold on Kevin. Flair with a few elbows to Kenwright’s head, and Kenwright’s grip slips enough for Flair to break the hold and run the ropes…

JUAREZ: Looks like Lenex and Ryan have a momentary peace as they shake hands and charge to take down a rebounding Flair with a double clothesline, but Flair ducks under it! Kenwright drops to the ground, and Flair steps over to his the ropes again.

SIMONS: Here comes Eli with a head of steam, and he shoulder blocks Kenwright to the ground, and takes out Lenex and Ryan with a clothesline from each arm! Flair is the only man standing! He’s got his pick of targets!

JUAREZ: Not Dan Ryan! Es mi hero!

SIMONS: I think he heard you, Manny, because Flair has Kenwright to his feet and puts Kevin back to the mat with a T-Bone Suplex. Kenwright sure has been a whipping boy this match. It’s amazing he’s lasted to the final four in the Title Shot ring…

JUAREZ: FLAIR JUST TOSSED OUT KENWRIGHT! Kevin Kenwright has been eliminated!

SIMONS: Well, it WAS amazing that Kenwright made it to the final four, it’s a shame he couldn’t last to be in the final three, but that privilege is saved for Dan Ryan, Eli Flair and Peter Lenex!

JUAREZ: Aye Dios mio.

SIMONS: I agree, my latin buddy, but there’s no time for thatj now, not when Eli Flair has total control of the Title Shot ring. Eli picks up Lenex, and slaps the taste right out of his mouth. Lenex staggers, and looks at Flair as he rubs his jaw.

(CUTTO: Eli Flair yelling at Lenex to start going after the ‘man-cow’ Dan Ryan.)

SIMONS: Lenex, being the only pup left in the ring takes the advice of the ring worn Flair and helps pick up Dan Ryan. Ryan is up to one knee, and the throws a punch into Flair’s mid-section, and then Lenex’s midsection, but the two quickly beat Ryan back to the mat.

JUAREZ: This is not good for Cuba.

SIMONS: Or Dan Ryan.

JUAREZ: But mostly Cuba.

SIMONS: We have our own Missile Crisis in the ring as Flair cocks back one arm and brings it down on Dan Ryan’s forehead. Lenex scrapes his boot across Ryan’s face. Looks like these two are trying to open up Ryan.

JUAREZ: Ever seen what happens when a bull sees red?

SIMONS: Manny, I’m proud of you! Two metaphors in one match! You’re quickly coming back to announcing!

JUAREZ: Thank you, Juan.

SIMONS: Eli sending Lenex into the corner to peel back the ring pad. Lenex obliges and heads to work. Flair picking up Ryan, but he’s wasted too much time, and Ryan brings down Flair with a Russian legsweep. He quickly mounts Flair and displays his own gun show.

JUAREZ: So much for the gun show.

GUNS: Did someone mention me?

JUAREZ: Nope.

GUNS: Cool. See ya’ later.

SIMONS: Flair is out, and Ryan looks to the corner where Lenex is oblivious to what’s happened. He’s got the turnbuckle exposed, but turns right into a waiting Dan Ryan. Ryan smashes Lenex’s face repeatedly into the turnbuckle.

JUAREZ: I didn’t say it was going to be red coming from the bull…

SIMONS: Lenex is busted open, and looks like he’ll need medical attention immediately following the completion of this ring. Ryan, still with Lenex’s head in his massive hands, pulls Lenex’s head between his legs.

(CUTTO: The crowd erupting in pandemonium.)

SIMONS: HUMILITY BOMB! Lenex has just been folded in half, and that’s not a good way to land.

JUAREZ: Someone needs to go back to wrestling school.

SIMONS: I don’t know about that, but we may need a stretcher and stitches out here for Lenex. Flair climbing back to his feet, his nose bleeding, can’t reach Dan Ryan before he tosses Lenex over the top rope.

JUAREZ: Peter Lenex has been eliminated.

SIMONS: Troy Windham does not look happy about this predicament! He’s already voiced his opinion to officials about Dan Ryan being the man behind the mask of Dan Ryan’s Alter Ego, which blows my mind why anyone would think it was someone else…

JUAREZ: Quit pretending like you knew it was him…

SIMONS: We’re down to Eli Flair and Dan Ryan! Two men who have been to the top of the mountain in CSWA. Dan Ryan tasted the gold more recently than Flair, but that’s not going to stop either man from going for it all tonight! Hell, we could see one of these men crowned as the new UNIFIED Champion tonight!

JUAREZ: The tension is making me feel like Montezuma is sneaking up on my cornhole.

SIMONS: You’re from Cuba, not Mexico.

JUAREZ: Toe-may-toe, toe-mah-toe.

SIMONS: Ryan and Flair circling each other. Flair wipes the blood from his nose as Ryan wipes the sweat from his forehead. Both men pause, and come at each other for a lock up. Ryan uses his strength and pulls Flair into a headlock. Flair, with no where to go, presses forward, and pushes Ryan into the ropes. Ryan tries turning Flair, but Flair has become an anchor and isn’t letting this ship sail.

JUAREZ: And the seas just got stormy as Flair grips Ryan from behind and brings him back with a back suplex.

SIMONS: Can we get a counter in the corner for Manny’s good metaphors? Flair works a kink out of his neck as Ryan rolls through the suplex and rises to his feet. This is what Flair wanted, a one-on-one shot with Dan Ryan.

JUAREZ: What about the titles?

SIMONS: I’m sure that’s at the top of his list, but we know he wants Ryan. Both men circling each other again, and they close in! Flair catches Ryan with a knee to the gut, and a follow up knee to the face.

(CUTTO: Flair, in the ring, “That’s for my nose, dick.”)

SIMONS: Flair in control here, both men have to be feeling down and out as they fight each other. We’ve already seen seven men, and a woman, eliminated, and neither man left wants to be the next one out!

JUAREZ: Now who’s the idiot, Juan Madden.

SIMONS: You mean, ‘John’ Madden?

JUAREZ: Si, Juan Madden.

SIMONS: It’s the “Ego Buster” versus “Total Elimination” to see who wins the right to call in a shot at the UNIFIED Title. But both men are already guaranteed a shot right here tonight in that center ring, assuming they don’t kill each other in this one first!

JUAREZ: But who is the bull and who is the matador?

SIMONS: Again…you’re Cuban! Not Mexican! Not Spanish!

JUAREZ: NO ENGLISH!

SIMONS: Exactly!

JUAREZ: NO! I mean have no English to explain what has just happened!

SIMONS: The two towers in the ring just collided into each other, with no one giving way. They charge again, and this time Ryan uses his weight advantage to force Flair back into the corner… but Flair simply drops elbow after elbow on the trapezius of Dan Ryan!

JUAREZ: These men are not part of a high-flying act, Juan.

SIMONS: Ryan fires back with right hands, but Eli gets off a spinning elbow right to the throat of Dan Ryan. Look out! CHOKESLAM!!! Eli Flair just powered Ryan up and down and has left him laying in the middle of the ring.

JUAREZ: But this will not help him get the big man over the top rope.

SIMONS: If he can lift Ryan with one hand like that, he might simply be able to toss him over the top! Ryan rolls to a knee, but Flair is ready! T-BONE SUPLEX! But Ryan powers his way up! DDT!!! And Ryan is down! If this match could be ended by pinfall, Eli Flair might have it won!

JUAREZ: Troy Windham is looking on from el centro, he does not look happy at all!

SIMONS: This whole GOLD RUSH idea was developed by CSWA owner Stephen Thomas after Troy Windham refused to face Dan Ryan for the UNIFIED Title. Troy appeared to retire, and Mark Windham and Dan Ryan were given a chance to face off in a ladder match for the title, only to have Troy crash the party and make his presence known.

JUAREZ: Mr. Flair goes for an anklelock, but Mr. Ryan has pulled his head and found a way out, and now he is up on his feet!

SIMONS: Flair goes for an uranage but misses! Reverse German suplex by Ryan sends Eli down hard! Eli up! FULL NELSON SLAM! Both men down!

JUAREZ: This is like watching two trees fall!

SIMONS: And while Ryan may have a recent history with Troy, the feud between Troy Windham and Eli Flair is legendary! I can’t imagine that Troy is happy knowing that both these men are going to make their way over to his ring in just a little while. He has to be hoping that they’ll destroy each other right here and be unable to continue!

JUAREZ: And he may be getting his wish!

SIMONS: Both men up in the center of the ring! Irish whip by Ryan…Flair goes across. SPINEBUSTER!!! Flair is down and winded in the center of the ring! And it looks like Dan Ryan is going to the ropes!

JUAREZ: This is disaster for Dan Ryan if Eli Flair recovers in time!

SIMONS: That’s why they call it high risk! We don’t see Ryan pull this out of his bag of tricks too often, but when he does, it’s usually a split-legged moonsault! That would be 330 pounds crashing down on Eli Flair with the weight of a mack truck!

JUAREZ: Except that Flair will not be there!

SIMONS: Flair gets to his feet lightning-quick and barrels into the turnbuckle, knocking Ryan down hard and VERY uncomfortably! Eli climbs to the second rope and it looks like he’s trying to maneuver Ryan to a suplex off the ropes! Dan Ryan is using his power to try and maintain control! Eli fires a right to try and soften him up! But Ryan has his feet locked under the second rope!

JUAREZ: Someone is going for a tumble! And for once it is not Teri Melton!

SIMONS: Eli Flair has his arms locked around Dan Ryan in a death grip that will only end in a huge belly-to-belly of the top rope! Ryan has his feet locked under the ropes… he gets an arm free! ELBOW!! ELBOW!! ELBOW to the side of Flair’s head! Someone’s grip is loosening! Ryan hooks the head!!! SNAP SUPLEX OVER THE TOP!!!!! ELI FLAIR HITS THE FLOOR!!! DAN RYAN WINS THE RING! THIS CROWD IS ON ITS FEET! They can’t believe how these two have gone at it, even without a title on the line!!! Flair is still on his back on the mats down below in front of us, but he still appears conscious. Dan Ryan has literally fallen off the turnbuckle and is on his knees in the corner.

JUAREZ: They have given their all, Juan. But the question remains: will they have enough to dethrone Troy Windham?

SIMONS: As I look around, it looks like we have just one of the outer rings still determining a winner. We’re going to throw it to the ring to determine the United States Champion, where it looks like Kin Hiroshi is still in the running to defend his title!
