Wrestling fans turned out for 901 Wrestling’s annual Wild Card Rumble, which was held July 20th at Black Lodge.
Anthony Sain, commentator with Kevin Cerrito, describes the event as a “13-man, over-the-top battle royal.”
And, he says, “It’s one of our premier events of the year.”
Describing the event, Sain says, “It starts off with two guys. A new guy comes in every two minutes. … You’ve got to throw guys over the top rope to be eliminated.”
Everybody is eventually eliminated except one. “The True One of One” Kevin Bless was this year’s winner. “It got down to him and one other person and he threw that person over the top rope.”
As Rumble winner, Bless can participate in the 901 Wrestling Championship, the 1819 Championship, or the Tag Team Championship.
The event was in honor of the late 901 Wrestling wrestler Devin “Wild Card” Taylor, who died in a drowning accident.
Bless is “typically a guy that fans don’t get behind, but they were happy to see him win in honor of Devin Taylor. Bless was the last opponent Devin had before he passed away.”
