[9] "The Turtle Package" Arthur T. Turtle (215, Halifax, England) beat Eamon Keane (240, Belfast, Northern Ireland) in a Beat The Clock Knock Down Match (The Crumble- Snap DDT, 9:58, full match shown)

In the ring the Master of Ceremonies Rodney White confirms the rules of the Beat The Clock Knockdown Match. There is a 10-minute time limit of continuous wrestling without falls or submissions, wrestlers score a point for each successful knockdown or throw, aiming for ten points to win; if neither achieves this within the time limit, the match ends in a draw, with the referee adjudicating and counting all moves while upholding sportsmanship.

Arthur “The Turtle Package” Turtle, with his signature playful antics, starts cautiously, moving in with exaggerated steps. He attempts a comical wristlock on Eamon “Muscle” Keane, but the more experienced Keane easily powers out, showing his trademark strength. The crowd laughs as Turtle performs a dramatic roll to escape, but it’s clear the clock is ticking. The early exchanges see Turtle’s usual comedy spots—he gets “stuck” in the ropes, flailing dramatically—yet Keane remains unimpressed, and the tension builds as neither man scores a point in the opening minutes.
As the clock ticks past the 3-minute mark, Keane decides to take control, throwing a hard shoulder tackle that sends Turtle crashing to the mat. The referee counts, raising his hand for the first point: 1-0 to Keane.

Turtle doesn’t let the setback deter him. He grins, as if enjoying the challenge, and feigns a slow recovery. Keane, perhaps underestimating Turtle's resilience, attempts a second strike, but Turtle quickly dodges, setting up a series of rapid arm drags. He follows up with a swift Biscuit Bash—a running elbow strike—with an exaggerated wind-up, catching Keane off-guard and earning his first point: 1-1.

With the score tied, both men seem to sense the urgency. The clock is ticking down. Keane, frustrated, turns up the aggression. He hits Turtle with a brutal hammerlock and follows it up with a hard lariat, taking Turtle down. Keane stands over his opponent, raising his hand to the crowd before the referee signals: 2-1 to Keane.

Turtle is on the backfoot, but with only 4 minutes remaining, he rallies, using his trademark humor to unsettle Keane. He flails his arms and legs in exaggerated motions as Keane attempts a waistlock, confusing the larger man and prompting an unintended release of the hold. The crowd roars with laughter, but Turtle’s antics are more than just comedy—he uses them to reset the pace of the match. In a split second, Turtle catches Keane with a quick Shell Shock, stalling suplex. The crowd counts along as Turtle holds Keane aloft, before slamming him down, taking the score to 2-2.

The tension rises as the match enters its final minutes. Keane lands a thunderous Emerald Isle Bomb on Turtle, and the referee begins counting, but Turtle somehow kicks out just in time. The crowd is on the edge of their seats, watching the clock count down from 2 minutes. Keane, frustrated and eager for the win, tries for another powerbomb, but Turtle escapes, diving for a quick double leg takedown to steal another point, making it 3-2 in his favor.

With just one minute left, both men are showing the toll of the match. Keane, sweat dripping down his face, powers Turtle into the corner and hits a crushing spinebuster, the impact rattling the ring. Keane stands tall as the referee signals: 3-3. The score is tied again, and the clock ticks down to 45 seconds.

Turtle, his blue hair a messy shock of color, is clearly winded but never out of it. As Keane charges in for another attack, Turtle pulls out his Mime Drop—he climbs an invisible ladder and leaps off, connecting with a leg drop that knocks Keane down once more. The crowd roars in surprise as the score jumps to 4-3, and now Turtle has the lead. The clock is at 20 seconds.

Keane, desperate, throws everything he has left into his final push. He lands a big clothesline that shakes the ring, sending Turtle crashing to the mat, but Turtle just barely kicks out at the last second. The clock is down to 5 seconds. With only moments remaining, both men are exhausted, and neither has scored enough to win.

Then, in a final, miraculous burst of energy, Turtle pulls out his surprise: The Crumble. A distraction tactic draws Keane off-guard, allowing Turtle to set up the Snap DDT. He plants Keane into the mat with authority, but the clock is winding down—there are only two seconds left. The referee counts the final knockdown with only 2 seconds to spare, the bell rings. Turtle scores the final, winning point.

The referee raises Arthur T. Turtle’s hand, the clock having run out just as he achieved the ten-point mark. The crowd erupts in disbelief and excitement as Turtle, the underdog, claims victory in a match where every second truly mattered.
