Next was Booker T with Sharmell:
Booker: You know, I have accomplished a lot throughout my career. I have been a 5 Time WCW Champion, an 11 Time WCW World Tag Team Champion. I have held world titles in every organization I’ve been in. Tonight will be something special. For the first time, 40 of the all time greats past and present will be involved in a 2 ring, 40 Man Over The Top Rope Battle Royal. I’ll admit, it won’t be easy, but when it’s all over, only one man will walk out of LA the ASWL World Heavyweight Champion and it will be Booker T! NOW CAN YOU DIG THAT, SUCKAAAAAAAA!!!
Next was the “Rated R Superstar” Edge:
Edge: Everyone has called me an opportunist…Someone that somehow takes advantage of the situation no matter how low down and dirty it gets to get the job done. I have done that when I’ve become the WWE Champion and the World Heavyweight Champion. You see in a Battle Royal is not about who’s the fastest or who’s the strongest, it’s all about who’s the smartest and that will be my biggest advantage and that will lead me to become the first ASWL World Heavyweight Champion. BANK ON IT!
Next was Mr. Kennedy:
Kennedy: Tonight, everyone will be witnesses to pro wrestling history as the first ever ASWL World Heavyweight Champion will be crowned at a 2 Ring, 40 Man Over The Top Rope Battle Royal. I have proven that I can beat World Champions, I will prove that I am better than the 39 other superstars that are competing tonight. After the smoke is cleared and when it’s all said and done, the first ever ASWL World Heavyweight Champion will be MISTEEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRR KENNEDYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!
Kennedy then leaves but then comes back.

Taz: 2 Rings, 40 Men, 1 Man survives as the ASWL World Heavyweight Champion. I like that…I like that a lot! Because there will be 39 victims that I’m going to drop on their heads, choke them out and then throw them out! Austin…Flair…Douglas…Batista…Rocky…It won’t even matter because whoever gets in my way will be just another victim in the hands of the Human Suplex Machine as tonight I will walk out the ASWL World Heavyweight Champion because I am Taz, the soon to be ASWL World Heavyweight Champion…BEAT ME IF YOU CAN…SURVIVE IF I LET YOU!
From the broadcast booth, Jim Ross and Jesse Ventura were joined by “Mean” Gene Okerlund and Sunny to discuss about the 2 Ring 40 Man Battle Royal.
Ross: Well, we had just heard from some of the participants that will be competing in the star-studded 2 Ring, 40 Man Battle Royal up next and we’ll hear from some more of the participants that gave out their thoughts earlier today. We’re now joined by “Mean” Gene and Sunny to give out their thoughts on who’s going to win the Battle Royal. First off, Mean Gene your thoughts.
Okerlund: Well, this is a Battle Royal filled with all time greats and it proves that this is really the All-Star Wrestling League. This is a very difficult one to pick but if I had to go to place my bets. My bet will be on the big man from the Rocky Mountains of Denver, Colorado…Big Van Vader!
Sunny: Vader is defiantly an odds-on favorite to win, but for me I would have to go with The Texas Rattlesnake himself…My pick is “Stone Cold” Steve Austin.
Ventura: I’m telling you that I have seen many Royal Rumble matches and have been a part of many battle royals from time to time. Never have I seen an elite line-up of great legends and great superstars of today colliding in this unique battle royal to determine the World Champion since there’s huge competition over how to decide this. I give credit to Theo Clardy for putting this match all together. Now for my pick, I would have to go with the 16 Time World Heavyweight Champion, “Nature Boy” Ric Flair. He survived the 1992 Royal Rumble by outlasting 29 WWE Superstars and become the WWE Champion. So Flair knows what this type of environment is like.
JR: Well, folks. If I had to pick a winner in this Battle Royal, I would have to go with Mean Gene’s pick and go with the Rocky Mountain Powerhouse Big Van Vader. A man like Vader would do great in a battle royal due to his power and strength. Well, I would like to thank Mean Gene and Sunny fro dropping by with their thoughts and now let’s get hear from more participants for the Battle Royal.
More Video Clips from are shown earlier today of some of the participants in the 2 Ring 40 Man Battle Royal talked about the main event match tonight.
First was Samoa Joe:
Joe: The time has come…The time to prove who will be the first ever ASWL World Heavyweight Champion. You see, the lineup is a who’s who in the pro wrestling business. Some I’m looking forward to compete and some I just want to destroy. But when it’s all over, I will become the ASWL World Heavyweight Champion. Because I am Samoa Joe and I am Pro Wrestling!
Next was “The Franchise” Shane Douglas with Francine:
Douglas: This is it! For a company that is barely a week old, it knows how to pull out the big guns. Tonight is the 2 Ring, 40 Man Battle Royal where the best of the best collide to determine the ASWL World Heavyweight Champion. This is the type of match that is designed for The Franchise. I have been making an impact my entire career and tonight will be no different because there will be one man that will become the first ever ASWL World Heavyweight Champion and who may that be, Francine?!
Francine: “The Franchise” Shane Douglas
Douglas: HA HA HA HA! And don’t you forget it!
Next was “Nature Boy” Ric Flair with J.J Dillon:
Dillon: Tonight a new champion will be crowned in the first time ever 2 Ring, 40 Man Over The Top Rope Battle Royal. The greatest superstar of all time, Ric Flair!
Flair: Tonight, we will find out who the best of the best really is. Tonight, 40 of the greatest superstars in the world in two rings to prove who is worthy of becoming the ASWL World Heavyweight Champion. For years, I have proven that I am still “The Man” and “To be the man…You got to beat the man!” Tonight, I will prove it one more time as I walk down that aisle and go through 39 superstars and become the ASWL World Heavyweight Champion! WHOOOOOO!!!!
Next was The Rock:
Rock: FINALLY…THE ROCK HAS COME BACK TO ANAHEIM!!!!! Tonight, is the biggest night in pro wrestling as The Rock takes on 39 other candy ass jabronis in a 2 ring, 40 Man Battle Royal. Tonight, there will be no one…AND THE ROCK MEANS NO ONE that is going to stop The Rock in accomplishing his goal at becoming the ASWL World Heavyweight Champion. IF YA SMEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLL…WHAT THE ROCK…IIIIIS COOKING!
The final one was “Stone Cold Steve Austin:
Austin: In case people don’t know who I am, my name is “Stone Cold” Steve Austin and tonight I will be opening up the biggest case of whoop-ass the world has ever seen as I throw 39 other ASWL Superstars over the top rope and become the ASWL World Heavyweight Champion. In a Battle Royal, there is only one thing to know and that is DTA: Don’t Trust Anybody, something that I have lived by since Day 1. Tonight, there will be only one man that will win the Battle Royal and become the ASWL World Heavyweight Champion and that man is “Stone Cold” Steve Austin.
