April is a month when memorable events take place all over the sports landscape. It is a time for the NHL and NBA playoffs to start, the MLB season to begin and the NFL draft to take place. Not only those notable events but of course college basketball’s March Madness also reaches it’s zenith in April, and we are treated to the WWE’s Wrestlemania as well as ACW’s Legends.
Now the start of Legion’s first season can be added to that list, as the Draft Weekend for Legion’s first season of the 21st century took place across the weekend of April 24th and 25th. The DVD for the Draft Battle Royale, as well as the availability to download a digital copy of the show from the Legion blog, is set to be made available later this week. The Draft Weekend will also be airing after Late Night w/Eddy Love and The Later Show w/Scotty Bowman all this week on ESEN.
Quick results of the Draft Battle Royale can be found below. Stars were born, reputations made, relationships forged in fire and canvas… and legends brought to life. Only in Brooklyn… only in Legion… leaving one last chance as the season begins, to be a singular force.
Tune in live to the PTC CHATROOM on THURSDAY, April 29th, at 7pm EST to experience Legion’s LIVE and UNABRIDGED DRAFT.
MINUTE-TO-MINUTE RUNDOWN
00:00
GVP is first to enter, Aaron Jones Jr. is second to enter. After a short bit of back and forth, the son of SilverHAWK shows his greenness within the ring and GVP eliminates him. Leaving Patton in the ring alone for…
00:03
Jesse Ramey is third to enter.
00:06
Latrell Samuel enters. Eliminates himself trying to go off the top rope, getting toppled off.
00:09
David Noble enters.
00:12
Mary-Lynn Mayweather enters. Is eliminated by David Noble.
00:15
Kristos Zatania enters. Ramey eliminates Noble.
00:18
Orazio Duke enters. Zatania eliminates Ramey. GVP eliminates Zatania.
00:21
Rune Winters enters, attacking Duke. K-Wolf’s music hits early, but wait it’s Sharc who comes out instead! Sharc eliminates Winter. Winters is piiiiissed.
00:24
Inoue Doi enters.
00:27
The Woman With A Black Heart enters. The Black Heart and Inoue eliminate each other.
IN-RING: GVP, Sharc, Duke.
00:30
Nibi Augustin enters.
00:33
Naveed enters.
00:36
The Flying Frenchie enters.
00:39
Mike Randalls enters. Eliminates Duke, eliminates Sharc, almost eliminates Naveed, gets double-teamed by Frenchie and GVP before that devolves. Gets into it with Augustin, who is out of his element with Randalls.
00:42
Impulse enters, big hometown favorite. Eliminates Nibi, as he looks to get a reprieve from Randalls and walks right into a duel with an entering Impluse. There’s a moment of… hey, I thought Nibi could win this whole thing, the kid had heart… but it passes.
00:45
Jonathan Wilson enters.
00:48
Chet Worth enters. Kicks and punches people, before being outclassed and eliminated by Naveed who’s shining for the first time tonight after just trying to survive for the first fifteen minutes.
00:51
Brian Spaes enters. Wilson is eliminated by GVP.
00:54
Alias enters.
00:57
Brooklyn Rivera enters. Fans LOVE her, she’s the hometown girl. Alias eliminates Spaes, as Spaes had almost over-zealously gone after the Original Pulp Hero the moment he came into the ring. Spaes is not pleased in the least.
01:00
Hornet is the last to enter to much aplomb. Randalls IMMEDIATELY goes after Hornet, and in vicious fashion drops the legend out of the ring on his head, eliminating him. Medics rush out to check on the medical condition of Hornet.
IN-RING: GVP, Alias, Rivera, Randalls, Frenchie, Naveed, Impulse
01:09
Rivera is eliminated by Impulse, who is then eliminated by Randalls. GVP, after being in the match for more then an hour, is eliminated by Alias. We now know the four captains.
Alias.
Mike Randalls.
The Flying Frenchie.
Naveed.
Three legends, and an unknown quantity.
01:15
Alias is eliminated by Randalls.
01:26
Frenchie does something especially sneaky to eliminate Randalls, but is dragged to hell as well, by Randalls. Frenchie is therefore eliminated by Randalls. It's too close to call on whom gets the second and who gets the third pick in the draft, but that isn't important. Naveed defies all expectations in WINNING the Legion Battle Royale and earning the number one pick in the Legion Draft.
