Previously: WWE legend Jake 'The Snake' Roberts entered the FanFiction Royal Rumble match, along with superstars such as TNA World Heavyweight Champion Jeff Hardy, Total Drama Action winner Duncan and New Jersey brawler Carl Brutanana...nana...something something-whatever. Anyways, Carl caused the third and hopefully last rampage in this Rumble, and chokeslamed Jake Roberts and John Cena through a table. Oh yeah, and Phineas got hospitalized by the Undertaker. Who's next to come out? Let's find out!

10!...9!...8!...7!...6!...5!...4!...3!...2!...1!...*BZZT!*

At the rafters at the top of Madison Square Garden, a dark figure emerged as a bat-like symbol appeared on the canvas. The crowd rose in cheers, knowing who this dark man was.

Entrant #24: Batman

The Dark Knight jumped off and flew down to the center of the ring without any injuries.

Michael Cole: *amazed* I don't believe my eyes! Batman's back in the Rumble!

Jim Ross: I think business just picked up once again!

Joey Styles: Look at the cold hard gleam Batman is giving out to the rest of the competitors!

Tazz: By the look of it, Batman doesn't look so intimidated by all of them!

Seeing the Dark Knight upclose and personal, Jeff Hardy decided to strike with his own forearm. Bad mistake, Hardy. The Batman soon reached out Hardy's forearm and flipped him over and landed a leg drop on the Charismatic Enigma's face-pained noggin. The crowd stayed on the Caped Crusader's side as he began to dominate this match.

Mike Tenay: Oh, and Hardy pays for it right there!

Michael Cole: Batman is starting his dominance, just similar to the first FanFiction Royal Rumble

Seeing Jeff Hardy manhandled, The Angry Video Game Nerd tightened the grip on his Power Glove and began to strike at the Dark Knight with a hard punch, but nevertheless...

...Batman catched his fist red-handed and responded with a knee to the nerd's gut and a Russian Leg Sweep.

Tazz: Down goes the Angry Video Game Nerd! He failed at giving him a piece!

Jerry Lawler: I wonder who's next!

Batman's next victim on his hit list happened to be the Funkasaurus himself, Brodus Clay. Brodus charged with a raging headbutt as Batman looked at him head-on.

In such desperation, Batman leaped up and scooped Brodus by his feet, just flipping him over in a strange but effective back body drop.

Michael Cole: Oh, and even the Funkasaurus gets flipped on his back! That was very unlucky of him!

Jerry Lawler: The Funkasaurus should've been careful; he would've gone extinct!

However, Batman would soon meet his match in the other man in black, The Undertaker. Flames began to build between these two dark brawlers. Undertaker decided to swing right away at Batman's kevlar ribs...

...but to the Deadman's surprise, Batman caught the blow. Seeing that Batman refused to go down easily, Undertaker decided to swing away at Batman through his other fist. In Undertaker's mind, hitting him with the other fist would have worked.

But in Batman's reality, he seemed to caught Undertaker's other punch. This felt like a test of strength from two of the most intimidating supernatural forces ever to walk God's green earth. This Royal Rumble was slowed down a bit to carry the brawl between these two evened matches.

Jerry Lawler: Oh, man... a test of strength! This Rumble is gonna blow up one way or another and it's gonna blow up huge! Look at Batman and Undertaker going at it like two wild bulls!

Joey Styles: I can't believe I'm gonna pass out from this kind of excitement!

Both Undertaker and Batman were pretty much dead even. At first, the Undertaker overpowered Batman by bringing The Dark Knight to his knees. Nothing was gonna overpower the Deadman, but Batman still wouldn't be brought down all the way.

Batman soon got up slowly but steadily as his newfound strength finally began to take control over the Undertaker. This time, Undertaker was brought down to his knees. The attendees at Madison Square Garden was shocked to see this unfold. They didn't know who to cheer for, so the Garden was split down in reaction for these two dark legends 50-50.

Jim Ross: And dear gawd, Batman's overpowering the Phenom!

Mike Tenay: We're never used to see Undertaker go down on his knees in defeat quite like this.

Jerry Lawler: He might be in jeopardy here!

As soon as Batman was still overpowering the Prince of Darkness in Undertaker, the Dark Knight's test of strength was suddenly cut off by the recovering Jake "The Snake" Roberts, who connected Batman with a hard clothesline. The crowd gasped in surprise; Jake Roberts is on Taker's side in this match!

Jerry Lawler: And somehow, out of nowhere, Jake The Snake just saved Undertaker! That was interesting.

Joey Styles: Everybody knew the bad blood both Undertaker and Jake shared way back in 1992 when they fought in front of 62,000 fans in the Hoosier Dome at WrestleMania VIII! What a classic encounter that was!

Jim Ross: Jake Roberts has recovered from the hard chokeslam he took from Carl just a few moments ago!

As the last 20 seconds began to wind down, Jake 'The Snake" Roberts performed his signature finger twirl, revealing as a signal for his finishing move, the DDT.

Tazz: Uh-oh, could Jake The Snake actually DDT Batman here?

Jake responded by picking up Batman in a front headlock position...

...and both men crashed to the mat, which left Batman landing on the side of his head, therefore making Jake Roberts land his signature DDT without any interruptions whatsoever. He somehow got a roaring applause from the crowd! Batman and Jake were laid out, since the move had taken energy out of them both.

Jim Ross: He got him! Jake got Batman with the DDT! Unbelievable!

Mike Tenay: It would be interesting to see if Batman can try to get up from something like this!

Jerry Lawler: Well, he may be able to fight through the pain, considering he's the Dark Knight!

As soon as Batman and Roberts were trying to get up from the DDT, the last 10 seconds began to wind down as the rest of the fans stood up to see who number 25 was gonna be.

Tazz: Here we go, the clock's winding down!

10!...9!...8!...7!...6!...5!...4!...3!...2!...1!...*BZZT!*

Entrant #25: Damien Sandow

The "Hallelujah Chorus" began to play all across the Garden, triggering a cacophony of boos as the Intellectual Mastermind emerged from the back, holding his arms at opposite sides as he made his way to the ring.

As soon as he got a minute to enjoy his own music, Sandow took off his bathrobe and towel and started hitting the ring in a quick pace.

Jim Ross: And here comes the so-called Intellectual Savior of the Masses, Damien Sandow.

Joey Styles: Good thing he didn't bring a microphone with him! Hearing him talk makes the rest of us change the channel, literally!

Michael Cole: And it looks like he didn't need to take a lot of time to enter this Rumble!

As Sandow hit the ring, the first person he encountered was Fox McCloud, who was pretty agitated looking at Sandow's moppy beard. The fox raised such an eyebrow at him as when Sandow did his signature cartwheel. The human-like animal pilot was barely impressed by him.

Tazz: Fox doesn't seem impressed by Sandow already!

Mike Tenay: Well, to be fair, there are quite a bit of people who can do a cartwheel.

To upstage Sandow, Fox McCloud performed a no hand backflip just for the amazement of his fans. Sandow just scoffed at this little display of showmanship that Fox was giving to him. Sandow just looked right at the camera, raising an eyebrow to what he is witnessing already in this match.

Damien Sandow: *to the camera* Is he kidding me? Is this agitating piece of excrement standing before me playing a joke on me?

However, taking his time to look towards the camera was a very huge mistake for the intellectual superstar, as he was caught off guard by Fox McCloud, who responded with a nice superkick to Sandow's jaw.

Joey Styles: YEEEEOWCH! Looks like Fox introduced Sandow the hard way with an effective superkick!

Jerry Lawler: That's not the kind of welcome Sandow wanted.

As Sandow was still reeling a little bit from the Superkick that was given to him by Fox, both Dan and Duncan were fighting it out on the left turnbuckle corner as Duncan successfully nailed Dan with a series of flurried kicks to Dan's upper noggin.

Jerry Lawler: Wow, look at Duncan go with those kicks!

Mike Tenay: Looks like those weekend stays at the juvenile center is paying off well for Duncan here!

As soon as he separated from Dan, Duncan took a step back so he can focus on where to strike Dan next. In his mind, he wanted to pull a nice little running strike. A nice little F-you memento to Dan's angry malcontented face.

So with such good accuracy, Duncan took a nice run in the turnbuckles and nailed Dan with a pin-point Shining Wizard, shades of several wrestlers who have done it before him, such as Gregory Helms aka The Hurricane, and WWE Champion CM Punk.

Tazz: WHOA! An excellent Shining Wizard on the behalf of Duncan! Reminds me of somebody we already know and disrespect!

Michael Cole: Oh, come on. I think Duncan did this just to mock CM Punk! This is an insult to the WWE Champion!

Jim Ross: I'm sure he didn't intend to rip out a page from Punk's moveset, but I don't think he cares! He's a delinquent!

Duncan then got off of Dan and grabbed him with a headlock, thinking to land the angry Dan with a running bulldog.

So Duncan took off with Dan on foot, only to be quickly brought down to the mat by John Cena, who amazingly got back up from the turmoil that happened between him and Carl from the Aqua Teen Hunger Force, and nailed Duncan with a running diving shoulder block.

Jerry Lawler: Whoa! Where on earth did John Cena come from? That came from out of nowhere!

Joey Styles: John Cena is sure as hell a quick healer after taking that chokeslam from Carl moments ago. Now all we got is one lousy announce table. I tend to fear if we have none!

As the last 30 seconds began to wind down, Batman was busy brawling out with Chris Jericho, who seemed to get him up with a nice top-rope superplex. Now all Batman needed to do is to just lift Y2J up in the air and he would crashland right on the mat. But luckily, Jericho managed to hang on to the top rope, being the resilient future Hall of Famer he always was set to be ever since he joined the WWE in 1999.

Mike Tenay: Looks like Batman's trying for a superplex here. I'm not sure if that's smart on the eyes of the Dark Knight as far as I'm concerned!

Jim Ross: Batman's trying to lift Jericho up, but that's definitely not gonna do him any good!

Tazz: I don't think it's going to work here!

As he was still trying to lift Jericho the hell up, The Ultimate Warrior just happened to come by and grab Batman, therefore picking up Batman by the shoulders in an electric chair position. Somehow, every longtime WWE fan sitting in the audience knew what this meant.

Jerry Lawler: Warrior's got Batman by the top of his shoulders and oh, man... is this what I think it is?

Joey Styles: We may be seeing the very spirit of the Legion of Doom here in the Rumble! This could definitely be the Doomsday device here if Jericho manages to nail it successfully on Batman!

As soon as Jericho eyed Batman being carried on the shoulders of the Warrior, Jericho took a pinpoint accurate leap, and extended his arm for an elbow drop on the Dark Knight

...but to everyone's shock, Batman managed to grab Chris Jericho in mid-air and as they both tumbled, Batman turned Jericho over with a nice powerslam counter right on the mat. This drove the whole Garden crazy as bat-shit. (Pardon my language)

Joey Styles: *in amazement* Holy crap, Batman! Did you see what the Dark Knight just did!

Tazz: He just grabbed Jericho and turned him for a powerslam all the way down! That was just too phenomenal!

Mike Tenay: That was just X-Division-worthy quality there! Move of the night I like to call it!

As the Garden was still in a frenzy to what Batman had now done, the countdown clock appeared on the titantron as the fans were awaiting the next entrant to come in the 2nd annual Fanfiction Royal Rumble.

10!...9!...8!...7!...6!...5!...4!...3!...2!...1!...*BZZT!*

Entrant #26: Mordecai (Regular Show)

The fan favorite of Regular Show himself, the one and only bluejay known as Mordecai, gave everyone a fist pump as he made his way down the entrance ramp. The cheering of the Garden's audience helped the rookie concentrate on his goal of winning the Royal Rumble.

Jerry Lawler: And here's another familiar face joining the fray, it's Mordecai from "Regular Show"!

Jim Ross: Back at the first Fanfiction Royal Rumble, he didn't get a chance to make a first real impact because of the fact he was eliminated early by CM Punk! But now, he gets another chance to shine!

Tazz: I've heard a bit about the show this guy's in, but I haven't got the chance to watch because I don't watch Cartoon Network.

As soon as Mordecai made his way to the steel steps, he soon noticed his crush Margaret sitting at ringside alongside Fox McCloud's girlfriend Krystal. He took his time to perform a shout-out to her.

Mordecai: *shouting to Margaret* Wish me luck, Margaret!

Margaret: *shouting to Mordecat from Ringside* Go get 'em, Mordecai! I believe in you!

With that shoutout coming from Margaret, Mordecai jumped up and over into the ring, and immediately began to go right to work on "The Charismatic Enigma" Jeff Hardy, who was busy trying to eliminate The Angry Video Game Nerd on the apron with no luck so far.

Jerry Lawler: And now Mordecai's getting into the action already!

Mordecai turned Jeff Hardy to his direction and began hitting away at him with such velocity. Jeff Hardy was taking once step back from Mordecai's hardened punches. Seeing the punches work in his favor, Mordecai then whipped Jeff Hardy around the ropes, but Hardy countered and reversed, therefore sending Mordecai running intensely. Jeff Hardy tried to connect with a clothesline with ease...

...but Mordecai ducked from the shot. Jeff Hardy managed to try to clothesline the bluejay again, but yet he still ducked. Now Mordecai was at full speed. At the right time, Mordecai performed an all out running calf kick right into Hardy's face, nailing the attack perfectly in the bluejay's eyes.

Jim Ross: And Mordecai connects it perfectly with a running calf kick.

Tazz: That move might have knocked Hardy's facepaint a few miles! Man, that stings! Especially with some claws like that on his feet!

Meanwhile, as Mordecai still began to work all over Hardy, the Angry Video Game Nerd began to leap up all over Brodus Clay with a nice sleeper-hold. he was trying to strangle and hang on at the same time, but it was all but working.

Mike Tenay: Looks like the Nerd just put Brodus Clay to sleep here! The Funkasaurus is out like a light.

Michael Cole: I don't know how the Nerd did it, but somehow he did. Now all he needs to do is just throw the big man off his feet through the top ropes and yet he's done!

As he saw Brodus Clay sleep like a big baby turtle, the Angry Video Game Nerd started to strut all over the ring. Seeing the nerd do that was so much reminiscent of former WWE superstar Brutus "The Barber" Beefcake.

Joey Styles: Looks like the Nerd just decided to channel his inner barber! Is he gonna even think of cutting the Funkasaurus's hair?

Jerry Lawler: I'll be as well damned if he does so!

Somehow, knowing he can't get any kind of Brutus Beefcake garden shears, despite the arena being Madison Square Garden (you see where I'm going?), he thought of a backup plan. So he dug something inside his shoe, and revealed to be mini-scissors that he kept inside his shoe for just the right occasion.

Jim Ross: Great barbecue sauce, I think the nerd's actually gonna do it!

Michael Cole: *snickering* Did you just say "Great barbecue sauce"?

Jerry Lawler: Uhhhhh...

The Angry Video Game Nerd managed to lift Brodus's head right up, but, unfortunately, the Funkasaurus's own head was just too heavy for him to try to keep up.

Joey Styles: It looks like the Angry Video Game Nerd is having a hard time trying to sit up Brodus Clay!

Michael Cole: Maybe if Brodus can manage to lose the baby fat around his cheeks, then maybe the Nerd might have a shot at it.

Mike Tenay: Brodus is pretty big. I doubt the Nerd will keep him up for long before he comes to and gets back at him.

Unfortunately, the Nerd's ideas to cut Brodus's hair was shattered as he was opened to a nice boot courtesy of the Big Red Monster, Kane. It was like having a pie being thrown at your face, only to have realized it was disguised like a brick.

Tazz: Ouch, looks like the Nerd didn't see it coming!

Mike Tenay: Looks like a dentist is in order for this angry 8-bit gamer here!

Fun fact: Before debuting the character Kane in 1998, Glenn Jacobs portrayed an evil dentist known as Isaac Yankem in WWF, even teaming with Jerry Lawler at a brief point.

After the big boot, Kane turned around and got caught with an enzugiri from Chris Jericho, as Mordecai continued to pound on Jeff Hardy.

The 30 seconds passed on into this match as John Cena had confronted Batman one-on-one. To everyone watching, this encounter was gonna get personal as it seems.

John Cena, the leader of the Cenation vs. Batman, protector of Gotham City. Man, the whole entire Garden was about to shake because of this incredible encounter between two fighting all-stars!

Jerry Lawler: Oh, man... this is what I really wanted to see and I can't believe this is happening!

Joey Styles: Hang on to your seats, ladies and gentlemen! This is gonna be one wild ride!

Jim Ross: Here we go!

Both men went at it like two tough monster trucks trying to see which man owned bragging rights. John Cena began to fire away at first. Man, was he rolling all over Batman's face with punch after punch. But somehow...

...Batman managed to catch one of Cena's punches and managed to strike back with some hard, dark blows of his own! This was like a back-and-forth boxing match and so far, the Dark Knight was getting the upper hand in this incredible encounter. It was like Muhammad Ali vs. Manny Pacquiao (I don't know if that's how you spell it)!

Michael Cole: Okay, I have always wanted to say this, but Vintage Batman!

Tazz: It definitely seems that way! He's got one hell of an advantage over John Cena, a legend on the WWE roster!

15 seconds had now passed as Batman kept firing away at Cena with more and more blows to the body. One of the hits Cena took almost sent him tumbling over the top rope and yet he managed to hang on the best that he could. But the black-clad superhero wanted none of that. Batman kept on hitting Cena in the noggin as the final 10 seconds began to display right in the titantron, while Mordecai and Jeff Hardy brawled, along with a triple threat between Kane, Fox McCloud and Chris Jericho, as well as a brawl between Damien Sandow and Dan.

Jim Ross: Looks like we could see John Cena get eliminated here if Batman keeps this up!

Michael Cole: Let's hope Cena can hang around for number #27 to come out!

Jerry Lawler: Lucky number 27; who's it gonna be?!

10!...9!...8!...7!...6!...5!...4!...3!...2!...1!...*BZZT!*

Entrant #27: Cody Rhodes

The cocky son of the American Dream Dusty Rhodes made his appearance, running through the double doors, as he made his way to the ring. Did I forget to mention his mustache showed up as well?

Michael Cole: Well, here comes the other half of Team Rhodes Scholars, Cody Rhodes, entering at number 27, a lucky number in the Royal Rumble.

Mike Tenay: Four Royal Rumble winners have entered at this number in the past, such as Yokozuna, Bret Hart, Big John Studd, and even the first FanFiction Royal Rumble winner, and now four-time winner, Stone Cold Steve Austin!

Tazz: It's a very prestigious number, I can tell ya!

As soon as he entered the ring, Cody jumped the Ultimate Warrior with some fierce axe handles to the back.

Joey Styles: And look at Cody just firing away from the Warrior completely!

Michael Cole: This is a much meaner, much more determined Cody Rhodes that we're seeing here today. And as much as this bothers me, I like it a lot!

Tazz: And he's got that mustache, too!

As Warrior came down right on his knees, Cody looked to his shoulder and noticed his tag team partner Damien Sandow being helpless in a suplex position thanks in behalf to the angry malcontented jerk Dan. Cody saw this and just had to help out every single way he could.

Tazz: Dan's getting ready to pull off a suplex!

Joey Styles: Look your other way, Tazz! Here comes Cody!

Seeing Dan, Cody went to the ropes and bounced back into a springboard motion, kicking Dan straight in his angry teeth for an ear-splitting Disaster Kick. Dan was knocked a good foot or two, as he bounced on his back and fell down onto his face and chest.

Jerry Lawler: Yeouch, a Disaster Kick from Cody! I've never seen anyone get knocked that far in my whole entire life!

Jim Ross: That could've sent him over the top rope if the position was exact!

Cody helped up his partner Sandow, who thanked him for saving him from the pure representation of rage that was Dan. However, Jake 'The Snake' Roberts, after briefly dismantling Brodus Clay, came up from behind Sandow and slammed him with a Russian leg sweep, just at the same time Undertaker knocked Cody Rhodes down with a thrust punch to the jaw.

Michael Cole: Well, it didn't last long before that happened!

Mike Tenay: Both members of the Rhodes Scholars are down!

However, Damien Sandow quickly recovered from the leg sweep and took Jake down with a plain and simple vertical suplex. Sandow soon began to set up for one of his signature manuevers.

Jim Ross: Looks like Sandow's got something in mind here...

Seeing Jake The Snake's head lay down near Sandow's feet, the Intellectual Savior looked to the rest of the crowd with a smirk and sent his arm to the side. With a finger pointed and a nice little ballerina-twirl of the finger, Damien looked down right at Jake and planted an elbow right on his chest!

Michael Cole: There it is, the Cubito Aequet, the Elbow of Distain!

Damien Sandow: *speaks to the crowd as he got up* YOU'RE WELCOME!

The crowd showed no positive reaction towards Sandow, as Kane and Jericho were dragging each other over the top rope at the bottom right corner, and Batman and Cena continued to bring each other down with some technical wrestling moves.

As the so-called Martyr of the WWE felt proud of himself that he laid out the WWE legend Jake Roberts for the moment, the Total Drama punk Duncan came up from behind and smacked Sandow what seems to be a used Nintendo Entertainment Console. It was like a helpless bastard getting runned down by a Mack truck, except the truck was much, much smaller.

Jim Ross: Ouch! Duncan comes up from behind Sandow!

Jerry Lawler: *quizzled* Is that a Nintendo system?

Joey Styles: I'm just as puzzled as you are, King. He must have gotten that from the garbage can Dan brought in not so long ago!

The Angry Video Game Nerd came up to Duncan and tried to take the NES off his hands, but it only resulted in a tug-of-war situation between these two men. If I know this correctly, one of these men are going to fall flat on their backs pretty soon.

Jerry Lawler: Whoa, looks like the Nerd isn't gonna take this kind of gaming abuse!

However, as the Nerd and Duncan fought over the old Nintendo console, Jeff Hardy walked away from Mordecai, and approached the two other brawlers. He grabbed both of them by the backs of their heads, and they both collided with the hard surface of the Nintendo Entertainment System. Talk about pain; these two might have concussions soon enough!

Joey Styles: *shouting and cringing* YOOOOUCH! DAMN, THAT'S GOTTA HURT!

Jerry Lawler: Talk about dazed and confused! That move may have done just that to both men!

As Kane dropped Jericho on his back with a sidewalk slam off the second rope in the corner and Cody Rhodes was being punished by the Undertaker, time continued to wind down before #28 appeared as Batman and John Cena continued their battle of wills between each other. Batman was still punching away at John Cena from the apron. Suddenly, Cena managed to shoulder block the hero right on the chest. Not to mention that while Batman was down on the ring mat...

...Cena managed to dazzle everyone by pulling back in the ropes and somersaulting over Batman.

Jim Ross: Oh my! That's amazing right here! I never knew Cena flipped over Batman like that

Tazz: *reacting crazily* That's pretty much the first time he's ever done that in his life!

Michael Cole: It can be a first time for everything; he's got a new move in his arsenal!

John Cena ran through the ropes and back again as he saw Batman right close to the ropes. With all of his might, Cena had now swung right away...

...but to his shock, Cena missed the shot in which Batman, despite that minor pain to his ribs, ducked.

But what happened next was just so much shock and awe. When Batman ducked, he saw Cena right by the ropes, and in one shocking time-stopping moment, Batman connected Cena with a clothesline and managed to eliminate him through the top rope. The WWE Universe could not believe what happened!

Jim Ross: *reacting* OH MY GAWD, CENA'S BEEN ELIMINATED! CENA'S BEEN ELIMINATED!

Michael Cole: *reacting as well* You gotta be kidding me! The Dark Knight has eliminated John Cena from this Rumble!

Joey Styles: *screaming* OH MY FRICKING GOD!

Jerry Lawler: UNBELIEVABLE! This could level Batman above everyone else for sure! Not a lot of people can take Cena down as quickly as that!

12th elimination: John Cena; Eliminated by Batman; Duration: 45:46

Tazz: You may not believe this, but John Cena broke his own record! 45 minutes and 46 seconds.

Mike Tenay: Shocking or not, give Cena the credit he deserves for staying in there that long!

As John Cena just uttered to himself in just shocking disappointment, the Royal Rumble countdown clock began to appear as time winded down to the next participant.

10!...9!...8!...7!...6!...5!...4!...3!...2!...1!...*BZZT!*

Silence soon filled the Garden as the crowd and the superstars in the ring all waited for the next participant.

Jerry Lawler: Who is it?

Everything seemed to have stopped... when suddenly, something shocking occurred in the ring. Right behind the Big Red Monster, a little circle of hell just happened to open up unexpectedly, and what came out of that hellish hole appeared to be none other than Mortal Kombat's ninja spectre from Hell, Scorpion!

Entrant #28: Scorpion (Mortal Kombat)

Joey Styles: *shocked* O-o-oh my-oh my god, did he just come out of that frickin' ring of fire!?

Jim Ross: I'll be damned I say this, but here is Scorpion! And he's ready to literally raise some hell!

Michael Cole: *checking out the back of his pants* Okay, I think I just shit myself watching that...

Somehow, Scorpion stanced himself against the Big Red Monster, just waiting for the right time to strike. Finally as Kane turned around, Scorpion grabbed him by the throat and heaved him over the ropes with a chokeslam to the outside. Everyone else looked on in shock as Kane was eliminated.

Mike Tenay: And Scorpion has unleashed hellfire all over Kane, and so far, Kane is gone from this match!

Jerry Lawler: I think Scorpion just reminded him who's the real 'hellraiser' in this Rumble now!

13th elimination: Kane; Eliminated by Scorpion; Duration: 32:10

As everyone noticed Kane getting eliminated, they all turned around to see Scorpion and the hellfire that was just raging from his eyes. Cody Rhodes felt a bit of scaredness inside of him while Damien Sandow replied with a very nervous gulp. Meanwhile, guys like Jeff Hardy, Fox McCloud, Jake Roberts, Mordecai, Brodus Clay and Duncan all had determined faces and stanced themselves, hoping that this was gonna be a brutal fight.

Showing off his samurai like moves with his ninja sword, he gestured at them with such hellfire and vengeance in his voice.

Scorpion: *to the rest of the competitors* Do your worst! Either way, vengeance will be mine!

With nods on all of the determined competitors, Dan decided to run and strike first at Scorpion...

...who just happened to teleport right behind Dan and nail him real good with a big boot to the back of his skull!

Joey Styles: Did you see that? Scorpion just freakin' teleported and got Dan really good!

Tazz: Are powers even included in the Rumble?

Mike Tenay: How should I know?

Jim Ross: I don't see anything that rules against having powers in this match, so I guess it's pretty much legal here!

The next poor bastard to come across Scorpion was none other than Jake The Snake Roberts, who decided to hit away at Scorpion the best that he ever can. After a combo of shots, Jake The Snake bounced across the ropes, hoping to get a clothesline to Scorpion...

...but the ninja spectre from hell retaliated by giving him a superkick to the face.

Jim Ross: Ouch, Jake got it bad in the teeth!

Michael Cole: I can't wait to see what his next victim's gonna do to Scorpion now...

The next person to give it a shot was the Angry Video Game Nerd, who was holding the busted up NES from Dan's bin of hardcore (the garbage can). He rushed through to the flaming badass...

...but unfortunately, the results were the same. Scorpion countered with a nice Samoan Drop to the Nerd in which he winced in so much pain. And to add insult to serious video-game related injury, Scorpion single-handedly busted the NES right into 8-bit rubble.

Tazz: Oh man... he just destroyed that Nintendo! I hate to see what he plans to do to his opponents just like that!

Mordecai was the next victim on Scorpion's hit list. Feeling a gleam of sweat come across his forehead, Mordecai looked right over to Margaret, who was still giving Mordecai the support he was getting.

Margaret: *shouting to Mordecai from ringside* You can do it, Mordecai! Just trust in your heart!

As a good 30 seconds displayed right on the titantron, Mordecai nodded right to his crush, and then looked back to Scorpion and displayed tremendous depth in his face. He set himself ready as he bounced through the top ropes and began to strike and leap right at Scorpion, who managed to duck down and have Mordecai falling hard on the mat.

Brodus Clay tried his shot at the firey ninja, but was thrown out over the top rope with the greatest of ease.

Mike Tenay: Brodus Clay is gone!

14th elimination: Brodus Clay; Eliminated by Scorpion; Duration: 23:32

Fox McCloud tried his shot, but was brought down by Scorpion with a powerslam. The Ultimate Warrior and Batman teamed up to try and top the ninja, but Scorpion brought them both down at the same time with a double chokeslam, much to the shock and amazement of the fans sitting at ringside. All except Cody Rhodes and Damien Sandow who decided to retreat through the ropes, still in the match since they weren't both eliminated nor did they go over the top rope. Everyone in the Garden was cheering loudly for Scorpion who felt like he needed better competition.

Scorpion: *to everybody* Am I worthy of you all? Am I worthy of your respect? Is this the best that both WWE and TNA got? Bring me some better competition! I'm hungry for some more! I thirst for vengeance!

The crowd went nuts for the ninja, who was superiorly dominating in this Rumble, despite having just entered!

Jerry Lawler: I can't believe everyone's cheering for this! This is just plain insane!

Mike Tenay: This is just insane too! Who in the hell, or anywhere at least, is gonna try and stop Scorpion?

Jim Ross: I don't know, but maybe Scorpion will get better competition with number 29 coming in. Hopefully the next man to come in will be able to take Scorpion over the limit.

And as the clock winded down to its last 10 seconds, Scorpion waited for the next entrant to become a victim of his oncoming hellfire-like destruction in the Rumble. Who was it gonna be?

CLIFFHANGER!

In the ring: The Angry Video Game Nerd, Batman, Chris Jericho, Cody Rhodes, Damien Sandow, Dan, Duncan, Fox McCloud, Jake "The Snake" Roberts, Jeff Hardy, Mordecai, Scorpion, Ultimate Warrior and Undertaker.

Records made/upgraded in this match:

Toughest Elimination (Elimination that involved the most people that teamed up for it): Psy's elimination (10 people)

Iron Man (Longest lasting before being eliminated): John Cena (45 minutes and 46 seconds)

Rumble Dominator (Most eliminations overall): Kane (13)

Now that John Cena and Kane are both gone, what will happen since Scorpion's now made an impression in the Rumble so far? How long will The Angry Video Game Nerd last on his long way to victory? Will he make it all the way? Will any of the participants manage to eliminate the hell-raiser Scorpion or The Angry Video Game Nerd? I got a good feeling about the next chapter. I promise you won't be disappointed.

P.S. A little news here, right around the 40th entrant, the re-entry flags will now be open, as people who were eliminated from the Rumble will still get a chance at victory. Will your favorite come back and win it all? Stay tuned, Broskis! Woo-woo-woo, you know it!

This was what helped Zack Ryder reach new levels in his career... and then end up where he started before the show began.
