Annihilator vs. frenZy Annihilator tips frenZy over. Annihilator pushes frenZy into the killsaws. Annihilator's first match was against frenZy. During the match, Annihilator managed to push frenZy into the killsaws at one point, as well as flip frenZy over and push it into the wall after it righted itself, even though it took a pounding from frenZy's hammer and was unable to get its spinning bar working. Despite those moments of success, frenZy won on an 8-1 judges' decision and advanced to the Round of 16, eliminating Annihilator from the competition.
