      Welcome to the Clusterfuck Battle Royal! Only watched 1 or 2 before but last years was 2 hours long (just that match). I think that’s why Joey puts it on a separate night from Spring Break. (Edit: Well that and more ticket sales lets be real lmao)

      The signature match of Joey Janela’s Spring Break is the “Clusterfuck Battle Royal”. This match is similar to a traditional professional wrestling Battle Royal, however it differs in that competitors are eliminated by pinfall, submission, being sent over the top rope, leaving the building, or “death”. Regular competitors in the Clusterfuck Battle Royal are previously retired wrestlers, independent talent, and comedic gimmicks. This Battle Royal, along with the event itself, is known for its abundance of highspots, comedic wrestling, and campiness. Throughout this event it is not uncommon for wrestlers and referees to ignore the traditional professional wrestling rule set (i.e., interference, foreign objects, countouts).
