00:00Thank you for listening.
00:30Thank you for listening.
01:00Thank you for listening.
01:30Las Vegas, Nevada, are you ready for the main event?
01:41You see we put this barbed wire up, this is more than the main event, this is the final match.
01:55Singles bout, one fall, no rope barbed wire.
02:02The brains behind spring break, the bad boy, Joey Janela, putting his own body on the line after recovering from a torn bicep.
02:27Well, and let's put an asterisk next to the word recovering, Joey Janela, he said it himself, he's not 100% right now.
02:37But there was no way that he was going to miss this match.
02:42Able to compete is the bad boy, though not 100%.
02:52Willing to put it all on the line in the final match against Sabu.
03:01Joey heads to the ring.
03:08I'm going to pull back to Kirk a little bit here, Dave.
03:10I'm not going to name any names, but there are quite a few wrestlers who are here tonight.
03:17Legends, in fact.
03:18I can see that from where we're perched on commentary, they all have smiles on their faces so they know that they are about to see something violent and something very, very special.
03:29This venue was set up for $2,100.
03:32Every seat is full, standing room only, here at the Pearl of the Palms.
03:37One of the biggest GCW events of all time.
03:41And they have come to see Janela, Sabu, no rope, barbed wire.
03:47One of the biggest GCW events of all time.
04:17Joey fucking Janela!
04:47Throughout the 90s and continuing through the current,
04:54independent wrestling has always been Sabu.
04:59If there was an independent wrestling show in the mid-90s,
05:05Sabu was on it, oftentimes in the main event,
05:09touring the world with that independent spirit,
05:12shredding his body along the way,
05:15making those necessary sacrifices.
05:17To hone his craft.
05:20I mean, let's pull this back a little bit, Dave Prezak.
05:23We're at Joey Janela's Spring Break.
05:25Would there be a Joey Janela at this level if there wasn't a Sabu first?
05:29Absolutely not.
05:30Would there be a Joey Janela's Spring Break?
05:32None of us would be here if not for Sabu.
05:42The homicidal, suicidal, genocidal athlete.
05:47The death-defying Sabu, nephew of the original Sheik.
06:01Checking out the perimeter here is Sabu.
06:06I mean, there's danger at every turn.
06:15Dressed for the occasion is Sabu.
06:18Sabu.

06:55Let's go to MLJ.
06:57Let's go to MLJ.
06:57Here are the introductions for the main event.
07:21Standing to my left, fighting out of Asbury Park,
07:27New Jersey, with an official weight of 200 pounds,
07:34he is the bad boy, Joey Janela.
07:47And his opponent, to my right.
07:57Out of Bombay, Michigan, in his 40 year career as a professional, he has won many titles all over the world.
08:18A former ECW World Television Champion, a former three-time ECW World Tag Team Champion,
08:30and a two-time former ECW World Heavyweight Champion.
08:34He is the human highlight reel, the homicidal, suicidal, genocidal, death-defying maniac,
08:48this is Shampoo!
08:52And Joey Janela, a forearm to the back of Sabu.
09:05No respect.
09:07To get the fight underway, I mean, you talk about respect, it was Sabu with that spike to the head,
09:12bludgeoning Joey Janela.
09:14Oh, listen, that's not just respect, Dave, that's just Sabu.
09:18Let it slide.
09:20And now taking it to Joey Janela.
09:23The fight is on here.
09:26And if for some reason you're just tuning in at this exact moment, yes, the ropes are gone.
09:31They've been replaced with barbed wire.
09:34And Sabu in command of the matchup, with Joey Janela on his feet,
09:40sent to the barbed wire, puts on the brakes before meeting the barbed wire.
09:58Janela firing up this crowd, collar and elbow.
10:01Oh, waist lock here, from Sabu.
10:04Oh, Joey's struggling to escape, Sabu rolling through.
10:10Front face lock here, from Sabu.
10:12Janela trying to prevent himself from being sent into the barbed wire.
10:15Oh, he's close though, inches away.
10:17Reversal of the whip, Sabu putting on the, oh, trying to put on the brakes.
10:21Ended up a little tangled in that barbed wire.
10:24Listen, he has that suit on though, that suit jacket.
10:26That's going to be a protective layer, at least for now.
10:32And Joey Janela wearing a shirt as well, trying to protect their bodies as best they can.
10:37But that barbed wire is going to cut right through the fabric, as well as the flesh of these competitors.
10:44Joey again, taking control.
10:46Pounding down across the back of Sabu, stomping down on the chest.
10:55Both of these men have been in their fair share of wars during their careers in professional wrestling.
10:59Sabu climbing back to his feet, but taken down again by Janela.
11:14Pounding into the head of Sabu and an axe handle across the back as well.
11:18And Dave, I'll tell you what is the added element of danger and also intrigue to a match like this.
11:25If it's Sabu's retirement, if this is his last go at it, what does he have to lose, quite honestly?
11:33He's able to take Joey down there with that clothesline.
11:36He doesn't need to stay healthy for a next match.
11:39I mean, he could take Joey Janela down with him.
11:41And Sabu looks like he's going into his boot.
11:43Rass has that spike once again.
11:45And right to the head of Janela, using that spike.
11:50As if the barbed wire wasn't enough to slice up Joey tonight.
11:54Using the spike as a weapon as well.
11:57And hold on a second.
11:58I hear the whistle.
11:59What?
12:00Bill Alfonso up on the stage.
12:04Chair in hand.
12:06We heard the whistle and we knew what that meant.
12:09Right down the middle, Daddy.
12:11Holy shit.
12:12Holy shit.
12:13Fonzie up on the stage as Sabu digging into the head of Janela with the spike.
12:18Ah!
12:24Janela puts on the brakes before meeting the barbed wire.
12:29And now the chair tossed in the ring by Fonzie.
12:32It's like muscle memory at this point.
12:36Joey trying to move out of the way as Sabu is about to launch himself off the steel chair.
12:42And launches that chair at the head of Joey Janela.
12:47Sets up the chair once again.
12:50Keep your eye on Sabu.
12:52No, no, no.
12:53Off the chair.
12:53Oh!
12:54Into the barbed wire he goes.
12:57Trapped.
12:57Into a barbed wire net on that side of the ring as well.
13:01Trapped in this spider web of barbed wire.
13:05Oh.
13:07Oh, that was gross.
13:11Joey a bloody mess at this point.
13:13Sabu trying to free himself from the barbed wire.
13:16Let's take another look.
13:18Launched off the chair.
13:19Not only into the barbed wire that has replaced the ropes,
13:22but also that spider web of barbed wire out on the floor on that side.
13:27Oh!
13:27He's going to have to remove that jacket.
13:28Yeah.
13:29Barbed wire is trapped in the jacket as well as wrapped around his body.
13:33Trapped in his scalp.
13:39Joey trying to rip that jacket.
13:42He's having trouble because it's stuck to Sabu's body.
13:45As is the barbed wire still.
13:47Caught in the hair of Sabu as well.
13:51Both competitors a bloody mess in this matchup.
13:55As expected.
13:57The unforgiving barbed wire just ripping at the flesh of the competitors.
14:02Oh, Joey has a barbed wire boardies.
14:09He's repositioning it here.
14:12Barbed wire board propped up against the strand of barbed wire between the ring posts.
14:16Looking to send Sabu into it.
14:19Oh, no!
14:20Stop!
14:20Versus to the floor!
14:21Uh-uh!
14:22Go, Sabu!
14:22No, no!
14:23So much momentum went crashing to the floor hard.
14:28That is straight up concrete on this floor.
14:30And the referee is checking on the condition of Sabu.
14:34Got to hand it to both Sabu and Janela for even signing for a match like this.
14:39Having their confidence in their own abilities to compete in a match like this.
14:47A puddle of blood underneath the head of Sabu.
14:49Meanwhile, Bill Alfonso tossed a chair at Joey Janela.
14:55And everyone checking on the condition of Sabu.
14:57And what is this?
14:58Atticus and Otis Cogar making the way to ringside now.
15:02Skewers in the hand of Atticus.
15:05Oh, they're coming out here to do some damage on behalf of Sabu.
15:09Cogar has had this long-standing animosity with Joey Janela.
15:15Now he's going after Bill Alfonso as well.
15:17Maybe not.
15:18Maybe not trying to help Sabu.
15:19He's just going after Joey.
15:21As now Atticus attacking Fonzie.
15:23Oh, no.
15:27Fonzie threw the barbed wire board in the corner.
15:32Courtesy of Atticus Cogar.
15:36Oh, and the lights have gone out.
15:40Darkness here at the Pearl of the Palms.
15:43What?
15:44Uh-uh.
15:55What?
15:56Where is he?
15:58You know what that means, man.
15:59It's Scott.
15:59Loudsore Bay out.
16:20What?
16:21What?
16:23What?
16:23What?
16:23What?
16:24What?
16:24What?
16:24What?
16:25Amongst the people, it's the Sandman!
16:37Figures out of Sabu's extreme past, making their presence felt here at Joey Janela's Spring Break 9.
16:58I mean this in the most complimentary way, Dave Brazac.
17:02What fucking year is it?
17:04It's 2025!
17:06Unreal!
17:08And the Sandman is here!
17:36Joey Janela inside the ring, trying to fight off Otis and Atticus Coger!
17:42Meanwhile, the Sandman's still in the crowd.
17:45Dave Brazac, I got myself a bit in the ECW arena.
17:48Well, the Sandman asked for the ages of everyone around him as he poured beer into their mouths.
17:55Not me, I was 12.
18:01What is happening here?
18:03It's chaos!
18:05This is extreme, Beta Scots!
18:08We should have known the Coger Brothers were going to make an impression on this scene, and now they're just pacing in the ring as the Sandman makes his way, presumably to ringside.
18:21I don't even know.
18:24Sandman doing Sandman things.
18:26Unfortunately for Joey Janela, as the Sandman takes his time, he's got skewers in the head, he's got the Cogars raining down blows.
18:36With Singapore Kane in the hands of the Sandman, making his way all around the Pearl Theater here at the Palms, celebrating spring break here at the Collective.
18:51And Sabu's back on his feet.
19:10Joey Janela grabbing hold of him.
19:13Somehow, I saw it, there was a puddle of blood.
19:16Atticus with a barbed wire bat, striking Sabu.
19:19Atticus going after everybody.
19:23Of course, Atticus claiming he is the most violent individual in professional wrestling.
19:29And let's keep in mind, this started out in the one-on-one retirement match with Sabu versus Joey Janela, but now the Cogars.
19:38The Cogars making their presence felt, going after both Joey and Sabu.
19:44All the Sandmans just partying it up.
19:46Listen, I myself have been confused with the configuration of the Pearl Theater.
19:53He's on his way.
19:58And not a second too soon for Joey Janela, who is in bad shape.
20:06The Sandman at ringside.
20:08And entering the ring now, pain in hand.
20:22You see them!
20:46Thank you!
20:47A request made by this capacity crowd.
21:15Kane in hand.
21:17Oh, taking it to Otis Cogar.
21:19And down across the back, leaving Atticus Cogar standing across the ring from the Sandman.
21:26Using that Kane on Atticus now.
21:29The Sandman standing tall in the GCW ring.
21:35And staring down at the floor, and Sabu back on his feet alongside Fonzie.
21:43Oh, what?
21:44Sabu! Sabu! Sabu! Sabu! Sabu! Sabu! Sabu! Sabu! Sabu! Sabu! Sabu!
21:52A bloody mess, but he's back on his feet.
21:54Sabu showing his toughness.
21:56Oh, and Joey Janela from behind takes out the Sandman.
22:01Well, this should be a one-on-one situation.
22:03It's turned into chaos here.
22:05Oh, no! Joey!
22:07Set through two barbed wire doors by Sabu.
22:11Referee's now tending to Joey Janela, who is trapped in the coils of barbed wire covering those two doors.
22:26Yeah, I hate to keep coming back to this, but you can see it clearly right here.
22:29We've got a concrete floor here at the venue for Spring Break.
22:34Yeah, not only being sent through the doors and the barbed wire, but down to concrete, yes.
22:41We've seen it happen to both Sabu and now Janela as well.
22:45But they agreed to this match.
22:47They agreed to these stipulations.
22:49And Sabu in command for the moment.
23:02Offering a handshake to Janela.
23:06Nope.
23:07Oh, no!
23:08Into the barbed wire spider web goes Joey Janela.
23:13He is just screaming in agony.
23:16And now Sabu, chair in hand.
23:21Janela trying to free himself from the barbed wire, but the chair just launched at him by Sabu.
23:32Again, just taunting him, offering the hand.
23:36But not really.
23:37And now, with the Singapore cane.
23:42Tosses that aside.
23:43Janela has freed himself from the barbed wire.
23:47Yeah, he is crawling back into the ring.
23:54Tosses that!
23:55Tosses that!
24:00And Sabu with Janela once again.
24:05Reversal of the whip!
24:06Fighting for the whip!
24:08That other side of barbed wire.
24:09Tosses that aside.
24:09Tosses that aside.
24:09Tosses that aside.
24:09Tosses that aside.
24:11Tosses that aside.
24:12Who's going to meet the barbed wire on that side of the ring?
24:17Again, Sabu accepts a hand, but Joey Janela not going to trust him this time.
24:21Firing away with punches to the head.
24:22Back and forth they go.
24:24Fighting for the advantage.
24:27Janela and Sabu just a slugfest now.
24:34And both men with steel chairs in hand.
24:37A chair duel!
24:38Oh, but Sabu is the winner.
24:42Oh, but Joey throwing a chair of his own at Sabu.
24:51And an embrace.
24:54They are tearing one another apart.
25:00Deep down they have a lot of respect for one another.
25:03Yeah, we swear it's there.
25:04Yeah, we swear it's there.
25:04It's there.
25:06But they're continuing to fight.
25:14Joey Janela, he's on his feet.
25:17Here comes Sabu with the steel chair.
25:21A DDT on the steel chair by Sabu.
25:25Both of these men putting their bodies on the line once again.
25:32Suffering devastating injuries in the process.
25:35Trying to fight for the win here.
25:37This is awesome!
25:40This is awesome!
25:43This is awesome!
25:44Win, lose, or draw.
25:46This is the final match of a living legend.
25:51Sabu in the ring one last time.
25:55Using that chair on Janela repeatedly.
26:01Arabian face buster.
26:12Sabu turns him over.
26:13Cover!
26:15Three!
26:16And that's three!
26:18Sabu scores the victory here in your main event.
26:22The winner of the match, Sabu!
26:33The homicidal, suicidal, genocidal Sabu is your victor!
