00:08Royce, hi Jay.
00:10Hey, before you say it, pleasure's all mine.
00:14You're the man around here, no?
00:15I am kind of the man around here.
00:17This is Los Angeles, the home of the Mile High Samurai.
00:22And you're coming in here with piss and vinegar, I respect it, okay?
00:25But this is my house.
00:27So when you get in, clean off your feet at the door and show some respect.
00:34Where I'm from, I'm the Texas Terminator.
00:39Whatever house I step into becomes mine.
00:43So I appreciate you keeping it warm for me.
00:47Sounds like we got a little bit of a property dispute.
00:51Oh, that we do.
00:52Let's settle it.
00:53That we do.
00:54Tonight in the ring.
00:57Sounds like a plan to me.
01:00See you out there.
01:07Welcome back to Only Wrestlers Live.
01:10And we're going to go right back to Jordan Castle.
01:12And the following contest is a singles match set for one fall.
01:25It's now time for singles competition.
01:27Pound for pound.
01:29Two of the strongest competitors in our sport are about to lock horns.
01:52The Texas Terminator has arrived.
01:56The Texas Terminator has arrived.
02:03The Texas Terminator has arrived.
02:05Introducing first.
02:06Making his way to the ring from Houston, Texas.
02:09Weighing in at 240 pounds.
02:12He is the Texas Terminator.
02:15Jay Alexander!
02:22240 rock-solid pounds of raw, unfiltered, cerebral rootlessness.
02:29He's developed the reputation of being the purveyor of punishment.
02:34Jay Alexander's entire life has been centered around physicality,
02:37and physicality he's about to get from this man.
02:45.
02:55Voice Isaacs.
02:59His opponent making his way to the ring from Los Angeles, California,
03:06by way of Denver, Colorado.
03:09Weighing in at 249 pounds, he is the mile-high samurai,
03:23Royce Isaacs!
03:24He's a former New Japan Strong Tag Team Champion,
03:28former NWA Tag Champion.
03:31And Danny Limelight, as far as Los Angeles goes,
03:34Royce Isaacs truly feels like this is his turf.
03:38Royce Isaacs, one of the best there is.
03:41Royce Isaacs, one of the best he is,
03:42Royce Isaacs, one of the best he is,
03:43Royce Isaacs, one of the best he is.
03:44Royce Isaacs, he's a beast.
03:46Royce Isaacs, he's also a former United Wrestling Network
03:48Heritage Champion, TV Champion,
03:50the guy that collects championships everywhere he goes.
03:52And aside from having destructive power, highly skilled in grappling,
03:56he's got a brown belt in jiu-jitsu.
03:58And that has really led him to many victories in Josh Burnett's BloodSport.
04:01He actually owns three victories over WWE superstars in Bloodsport,
04:06those being Charlie Dempsey, Miles Bourne, and Ivar from the War Raiders.
04:11Royce Isaacs, in my opinion, really has flown under the radar
04:14throughout the country and his career, but he is so impressive.
04:18When you look at Jay Alexander, this is truly a battle of wills.
04:23This is going to be a big one.
04:27Both Isaacs and Alexander lock horns and, you know, Jay Alexander,
04:33what you see is what you get, absolute power, absolute brutality.
04:38Royce Isaacs has become so well-rounded over the course of his career.
04:44Alexander, former Reality Wrestling Texas champion,
04:48he has really shown feats of strength in the ring that are essentially unmatched.
04:51Both of these men, both of these men are jacked, they're strong,
04:55they bring that ruthlessness into the ring,
04:57they're not afraid to hit each other, they're not afraid to lock horns.
04:59It's going to be a test of who gets who first.
05:03Jay Alexander bringing the wrestler to the ground here.
05:06Both men, former football standouts in their early days,
05:10and this is exactly what Royce Isaacs likes to do.
05:12He likes to work his ground game,
05:13but credit to Alexander for having an answer early on.
05:16And many people go wrestle for wrestle with Royce Isaacs.
05:20Yeah.
05:22Jay Alexander, former professional football player.
05:29But now he's an NPC bodybuilding competitor,
05:33along with his success in the ring.
05:36I seen him backstage earlier.
05:38He was eating like two pounds of chicken and rice.
05:42Smashing before he goes, uh-oh.
05:44Well, something tells me Jay Alexander might be one of those
05:46500 grams of protein a day, guys.
05:48Yeah.
05:51That's me after three cheeseburgers.
05:53Oh!
05:54There we go.
05:57A little bit of an even matchup here, Johnny.
05:59A violent feeling out process early on.
06:02There they go.
06:04Royce outsmarts.
06:04Jay takes him down.
06:06Big shoulder tackle from Royce Isaacs.
06:07The mile-high step.
06:08Uh-oh.
06:09Jay back on his feet.
06:12Exchanging chops.
06:17Now Royce Isaacs with the early advantage.
06:20Former two-sport college athlete in wrestling and football.
06:27You know, Royce has traveled the world.
06:29You said it before.
06:30Former New Japan Strong Tag Team champion.
06:34Bloodsport victories over top competitors around.
06:37This guy's a problem.
06:39I mean, Royce Isaacs has competed as many times as anyone in Josh Barnett's Bloodsport.
06:44And that's really saying something.
06:45Not to mention all the impressive victories he's had in Bloodsport.
06:50And over the course of his career, look at this.
06:52Stalling suplex.
06:53That's 240 pounds of Texas Terminator being suspended in the air vertically.
06:59Upside down.
07:01Center of the rings.
07:02Royce Isaacs.
07:04And down Alexander goes.
07:07My goodness.
07:07Is that 25 seconds?
07:10Into a cover.
07:11And Alexander able to kick out.
07:13Fast kick out.
07:16Alexander has an incredibly strong core.
07:19Over between the bench press, the squat, and the deadlift.
07:23Alexander clocks in at over 1,600 pounds between the three.
07:27But did not have an answer for a Russian leg sweep there by Isaacs.
07:31And now Isaacs looking to be very calculated and methodical.
07:34That's a very hefty leg to put some work in.
07:38But Isaacs doesn't quite have all of it.
07:43Alexander very wise there.
07:45Royce couldn't fully lock it in.
07:46Alexander crawled away.
07:47That's that muscle, that strength to be able to scratch and claw, pull yourself somewhere.
07:50Alexander could sense what Isaacs was going for there.
07:53And very wisely getting to the bottom rope.
07:55And now utilizing the top rope to his advantage.
07:57The throat of Isaacs off the top rope.
08:01Big side suplex.
08:02Beautiful side suplex by Jay Alexander right into the cover.
08:05Isaacs able to kick out at two.
08:06Big kick out by Royce.
08:09Smart by Jay.
08:10Realizing he wasn't going to be able to outmuscle, outrustle Royce.
08:13A little filthy tactic.
08:15I love it.
08:15Royce should have been prepared for that.
08:17Jay Alexander has had a quick rise to stardom.
08:23He actually first entered a ring in reality of wrestling.
08:26This is true.
08:27Did you also know that Jay Alexander competed at American Gladiator?
08:30I did not know that.
08:31Yes, he is.
08:31He is an American Gladiator.
08:34Well, there is no shock there considering what he is able to do as a bodybuilding competitor,
08:39as a professional wrestler, his whole life has been about physicality.
08:43And right now, using the full five count there on the second rope, the throat of Isaacs.
08:48You know, I've gotten a chance to watch Jay Alexander grow over the last two years down in reality of
08:52wrestling.
08:52He's somebody who's strong, brutal, everything that we've been talking about,
08:56but also someone very smart, willing to do whatever it takes to win the match.
08:59And that's going to be the difference maker here as he hits Royce with the kicks in the sink.
09:04And now takes some time.
09:04Cover him, man.
09:05That massive knee and thigh to the abdomen of Royce Isaacs into a cover.
09:09A little lackadaisical there.
09:11Perhaps disrespectful cover there by Alexander.
09:13And Isaacs able to stay alive at two.
09:19Alexander's entire life has centered around competition.
09:25Former Texas champion in reality of wrestling.
09:28Current 360 Pro Central Texas champion.
09:31Oh, my goodness.
09:32Launching Isaacs.
09:33Like a bag of potatoes.
09:36That is incredibly difficult to do as Isaacs clocks in at 230 into a cover again.
09:41I need the fans to understand that Royce Isaacs is not a small competitor at all.
09:45That's a testament to them 1,600 pounds you were talking about with Jay Alexander.
09:49And Isaacs has competed across the globe.
09:52He has had success everywhere he goes.
09:54And it's very rare when any opponent matches the power of Royce Isaacs.
09:58Jay Alexander's matching him power for power, but that's for sure.
10:01See how Royce responds to this.
10:04He has a strong whip from the corner.
10:06Now Isaacs, ooh, able to reverse.
10:08Oh, my goodness.
10:10Completely trucks Royce Isaacs full speed.
10:14Like a freight change, Janet.
10:15And this time he hooks the leg, tries to stack Isaacs, who's able to kick out at two.
10:19And Isaacs still feeling the effects of that second rope on the throat moments ago.
10:24You know, if I was Jay Alexander, I'd take advantage of that.
10:26I'd aim for the throat, put him in a chokehold, maybe a rear naked.
10:30Uh-oh.
10:30Going for a power drive, it looks like here.
10:34Isaacs had it scouted.
10:35Oh, quick roll up here.
10:36Oh, Isaacs.
10:37This could do it.
10:37Leg hook, shoulders down.
10:38And oh, quick reversal here by Jay Alexander.
10:40And Isaacs able to kick out.
10:43Jay Alexander showing some impressive mat techniques here against the brown belt in jiu-jitsu.
10:49And this time he's able to hoist up Isaacs.
10:51Hoist again, countering.
10:52Oh, my goodness.
10:53Kick to the midsection.
10:54Jay Alexander staying on top of this.
10:57Jay Alexander could be looking to set up the dominator.
11:00But Isaacs.
11:01With a counter.
11:02I think he smacked his eardrums, Johnny.
11:04Great counter by Isaacs.
11:06Dazing Alexander, at least momentarily, who's coming in with a massive meat hook.
11:10Isaacs able to block and return.
11:12Couple of right hands here.
11:14Royce Isaacs trying to fight his way back in this matchup.
11:18Jay Alexander eating them like 500 grams of protein.
11:21Yum, yum, yum.
11:22And now Isaacs.
11:24Oh, big kick to the chest.
11:26Royce fired up now.
11:28For the first time in this matchup, we see Jay Alexander vulnerable down on the mat.
11:35Let the Malha Samurai get that momentum.
11:37Here he goes.
11:38Isaacs, full speed ahead.
11:39Clothesline in the corner.
11:40Follows up with a multitude.
11:42Crowd chanting behind him.
11:45And this is what Isaacs needs to do.
11:47He needs to take the wind out of Jay Alexander.
11:50Needs to take the legs out from under him.
11:53Alexander able to evade.
11:54Oh!
11:55Metallia discus lariat.
11:57Garriato!
12:01Took his head clean off.
12:04Tom Cruise would be excited by that samurai swing.
12:06He's feeling it now.
12:09Looking for an exploder of some sort.
12:11Certainly looks to be the case.
12:13And he lands it.
12:14Isaacs wasting no time.
12:16No wasted motion.
12:17Into the cover here.
12:18Jay Alexander.
12:19Staying alive.
12:19Able to stay alive.
12:20But look at Isaacs going right into a submission.
12:22Back to that submission maneuver he tried going for earlier.
12:24Nope.
12:25Trying to lock.
12:25Jay Alexander still trying to crawl.
12:27He's still got strength.
12:27He's going for the side sleeper.
12:29Nope.
12:29Got the ropes, Johnny.
12:31But Jay Alexander so wise to the grappling game of Royce Isaacs.
12:35Ring awareness.
12:36Yeah.
12:36Might have been out of desperation.
12:37Royce locks that in.
12:38It could have been over, Johnny.
12:39This is also watching game tape.
12:41He knows the grappling prowess.
12:42The jiu-jitsu prowess of Royce Isaacs.
12:44And now Alexander.
12:45Big cross.
12:46Into a power slam.
12:50Uh-oh.
12:51Oh, Jay Alexander.
12:52When he starts stomping.
12:54He's looking for salvation.
12:57Oh, he scouted it.
12:58Yes, he did.
12:59Oh, he's shouting a salvation.
13:00Boot to the face.
13:02And now.
13:02Hush money.
13:03Hush money.
13:04Let it be.
13:04Hush money.
13:05Oh, wait.
13:06Doesn't get all of it.
13:07Alexander able to roll through.
13:09But Alexander's out here.
13:11Going back for the submission.
13:12That side sleeper.
13:13Yes, going back to the side sleeper.
13:15There it is.
13:15Center of the ring.
13:16He's got it hooked in.
13:17Hush money to the side sleeper.
13:18Jay Alexander nowhere near the bottom rope in this situation.
13:22Now, look.
13:22Isaacs is trying to use that momentum.
13:24Yeah, wrecks him back.
13:24He's trying.
13:25He doesn't want to give him the leverage to crawl.
13:27Oh, he's trying to roll Jay Alexander over.
13:29If he does, it's going to be over.
13:31Jay Alexander is going to go out.
13:33If he can't find a way.
13:34And he did.
13:34He turned him over.
13:35He taps.
13:36And that'll do it.
13:37That'll do it.
13:37Did he tap?
13:38No.
13:38I believe he did.
13:39I thought I saw a tap.
13:40It looked like he tapped.
13:42Referee Chris Massey did not see it.
13:44Oh, he's asleep.
13:46Royce Isaacs.
13:46I knew he was trying to tap.
13:47Has put Jay Alexander to sleep.
13:51What a max, Jay.
13:56This was truly a violent war of attrition.
14:00And as powerful and impressive as Jay Alexander is, Royce Isaacs and his jiu-jitsu skill set leads him to
14:09victory tonight.
14:10We talked about it earlier on.
14:12You brought it up.
14:12I think you said purple belt, right, Johnny?
14:14Brown belt.
14:15Brown belt.
14:15You know, we knew Royce was a mat tactician, a mat master.
14:20Yeah.
14:21We talked about his blood sport background.
14:22And he just proved it again tonight by taking out a big competitor in Jay Alexander.
14:26And a brilliant game plan.
14:27Usually, Royce Isaacs likes to finish his opponents with the gotch tombstone piledriver he calls the sleepy eyes of death.
14:34But tonight, he realized it's going to be difficult to do that to someone like Jay Alexander.
14:38So he went to the ground game.
14:40And that leads him to victory tonight.
14:42You can't drop Jay on his neck.
14:45You see the traps on that guy?
14:46Absolutely correct.
14:47We have so much more action to come.
14:49Do not go anywhere.
14:49This is only Wrestlers Live.
