Favorite Battle Royal Tropes/Cliches

[The Blue Nova]

What is everyones favorite Battle Royal Tropes or cliche spots
1.Big men pair off. One of my favorites where two big men or hosses go face to face and square off always a fun one.
2.Multiple wrestlers teaming up to eliminate Big man wrestler. Usually a super heavyweight like a Mable or a Bundy or a Earthquake always a entertaining spot.

3. Heel eliminates other heel by accident. Usually when one heel is holding a babyface and the other heel goes to strike him but the face ducks and heel eliminates his buddy.

4. Final Four face off. Usually One side of Two faces and one side of two heels pair off and go at it.

5. The sore loser spot. where someone gets eliminated and gets mad and pulls out the guy who eliminated him

6. Two guys guys getting eliminated while brawling. a simple one were two or three guys are going at it and someone eliminates them while they are brawling

7.emptying te ring. Usually towards the end wrestlers start dropping like flies with fast eliminations.. clearing the ring

commentators having bad memories and saying the biggest wrestler is going to win because there is absolutely no way to eliminate them, despite the fact that only a tiny handful of battle royals have had the biggest wrestler in the match win

[Citizen Snips Has Left]

Two guys working together and then one of them turns and eliminates the other and is like “Hey, every man for himself!”

I liked when Jimmy Hart hid under the ring for that one at MSG

Wrestler A throws Wrestler B over the top rope, then turns around and starts prematurely celebrating. B catches the top rope and slides back into the ring and eliminates A from behind.

[SmashTV]

Everybody teaming up to eliminate the big guy.

[Bo Rida]

All the little wrestlers team up on the big guy but somehow they power out and send everyone flying.

[Fundertaker]

More for the Japanese side of battle royals (where you can be eliminated via pinfall/submission as well as going over the top rope): everyone piling on the one guy being pinned just to make sure and then rolling the guy that started the pin and pile on him to eliminate him.

Big guy launces a cruiserweight to the floor.

[chronocross]

2 big hosses facing off, I remember in 2004 on Raw they had 3 battle royals that year and in each one they had Kane and Batista face off and the crowd ate it up.

[Mozenrath]

I do like the (comparatively rare) thing where the big guy does indeed win it, just to kind of reinforce why it's a trope to begin with.

[Ozman]

The creative ways that Kofi/Naomi avoid elimination.

[flowercity]

Heel announcer changing their pick to win throughout the match. Usually due their previous pick being eliminated!

[tafkaga]

A smaller guy who 'should' have been thrown out early lasts until almost the end.

[Cvslfc123]

A heel is the last to enter and he cuts a promo about how he's going to win, everyone then teams up to eliminate him straight away.

[saneiac]

This wasn't the question, but my LEAST favorite is when a guy gets thrown out between the ropes early, spends the entire match on the floor, then comes back in to win at the end.

I always like when a complete nobody eliminates a favorite, with probably the most famous being Maven eliminating Undertaker.
