Ed and Edd strode down a hallway in the backstage area with the tag team title belts over their shoulders.
"Wait, Double D. . ." Ed said.
"Yes, Ed?" Edd asked.
"Why aren't we with Nazz at ringside right now?" Ed asked with an oblivious stare on his face.
"Because, Ed. . ." Edd said, ". . .to get involved in a women's match would not only make Nazz look bad, but also make us look bad as well! You wouldn't want us to lose our number one tag team champions ranking now, would you?"
"No, Double D!" Ed said as he and Edd turned a corner, upon which Edd unsuspectingly ate a Bull Tackle from Kevin! Kevin repeatedly punched Edd in the face until Ed pulled him off. Ed and Kevin started to brawl, trading vicious right hands until Ed hit Kevin with a headbutt, lifted him up onto his shoulders and hit Kevin with the Eledrifier, with Kevin's body colliding into a wall upon being spun! Ed picked Edd up and threw him over his shoulder before continuing to walk down the hallway.
"Come on, Double D! We have to root for Nazz." Ed said as he stepped down the hallway. Ren then came up to a prone Kevin from the other side of the hallway and
loomed over Kevin, angrily staring at him face-to-face.
"YOU EEEEEDIOT!" Ren yelled. "I thought everything you knew about the Eds would help us win. Turns out your hatred for them got in your way of helping us, and in our way of winning! And thanks to you, Stimpy's in the hospital getting all his splinters removed! You better hope someone else needs a manager, because your services are no longer needed!"
Ren stormed down the hallway, leaving Kevin in a crumbled heap!
"EEEDIOT!" Ren screamed. "We should've stuck with the Chicken!"
"Ren laying down the law to his former manager!" Shake said. "You have to think there's still a drive for Ren and Stimpy to regain the tag titles, though. I have a feeling the war between these two teams is far from over."
Back in the arena, Plankton stood in the ring with a microphone in hand.
"The following contest is scheduled for one fall. . .and it is for the Xtreme Cartoon Wrestling Women's Championship!"
While "T&A" by Jim Johnston played, Nazz stood in the ring, getting pumped up and looking at the ramp.
"Already in the ring. . .representing D-Generation-Ed. . .from Peach Creek. . .NAZZ!"
The crowd cheered as Nazz climbed up a corner turnbuckle and did the DX crotch chop.
"You're probably right, Shake! Nevertheless, we are back live here in Central City, Missouri, where it is now Nazz's turn to bring gold to D-Generation-Ed!" Early said.
Nazz stepped off the turnbuckle and looked down the ramp in anticipation.
"She assisted D-Ed in a very effective way in the last match!" Shake said. "So effective that the Eds won a hard-fought title defense against Ren and Stimpy! But now we're about to see Nazz compete for the Women's title!"
"Brackish" by Kittie played as Peach strutted down the ramp to a chorus of boos. As she walked, she motioned her hands over the Women's title belt around her waist and taunted the crowd.
"And her opponent. . .representing the Super Mario Syndicate. . .from the Mushroom Kingdom. . .she is the Xtreme Cartoon Wrestling Women's Champion. . .PEACH!"
Early said, "Peach is now going into her second month as the XCW Women's Champion, and for the past two months, she's etched a tainted legacy onto the Women's title belt!"
Peach blew a kiss to the referee as she took off the Women's title belt. She then climbed to the top of a turnbuckle and blew another kiss toward the commentator's booth.
"I'm sorry, what'd you say, Early?" Shake asked. "Peach put me into a trance."
Early scoffed as the bell rang and the match began. Peach stepped back onto the mat and turned around, immediately eating a spear from Nazz that sent her into the corner! Nazz then hammered away at Peach with right hand after right hand before Irish whipping her into the opposite corner! Peach bounced off the corner, with Nazz charging toward her. Nazz then took down Peach with a massive clothesline! Nazz went for the cover 1. . .2. . .Peach kicked out! Nazz brought Peach up to her feet and went for another right hand. Peach, however, caught it and put Nazz into an arm-lock. Peach wrenched on Nazz's arm some more before taking Nazz down with an arm drag, and locking her into a chin lock. Nazz quickly fought out of it, though, grabbing onto Peach's sides and standing up before taking Peach down with a Northern Lights Suplex pin attempt! The referee made the count 1. . .2. . .Peach kicked out!
Nazz picked Peach up and put her in a side headlock only for Peach to drive Nazz up against the ropes. Peach pushed Nazz off her, sending her against the ropes on the other side of the ring. On the bounceback, Peach took Nazz down with a neckbreaker! Peach went for the quick cover 1. . .2. . .Nazz kicked out! Peach picked Nazz up and threw her face-first into a corner. Peach then set Nazz up in the tree of woe and proceeded to repeatedly kick her in the sternum! As the referee came to their corner, Peach pushed her foot up against Nazz's head, choking her! The referee ordered Peach to let up, and started the five count! Peach let go once the count reached five, grabbed Nazz by the legs and pulled her back to the center of the ring. Peach then flipped Nazz onto her back and hit her with a slingshot into the corner! Nazz landed hard onto the top corner turnbuckle and crumbled to the mat! Peach went for the cover 1. . .2. . .Nazz kicked out! Peach couldn't believe it!
"Peach has punished Nazz for the whole match, but she will not give in!" Early commented as Peach picked Nazz up to her feet and went for another neckbreaker, but Nazz fought out of it and put Peach into a waist-lock, then took her down with an Atomic Drop! Peach then struggled to pull herself up with the ropes until Nazz Irish whipped her into the corner. Nazz ran towards her and successfully landed a high knee to Peach's chin, sending her to fall into a seated position in the corner!
"Oh no!" Early said, as Nazz ran excitedly to the opposite corner. Nazz looked at Peach and taunted her with the DX crotch chop! Nazz then ran toward the corner and repeatedly hit Peach with the Bronco Buster!
"Can you imagine how that feels?" Early wondered.
"I sure can. . .and I have on more than one occasion!" Shake said as if in a trance. Nazz then drug Peach by her leg to the center of the ring and went for the cover, hooking the leg! 1. . .
2. . .
. . .2.5 PEACH KICKED OUT!
"How close was that?" questioned Early, as Nazz pulled Peach up to her feet and put her in a headlock. Nazz ran toward the ropes and leapt for All That Nazz but Peach latched onto Nazz and took her down with a Back Suplex! Both women lay in the center of the ring as the referee began the ten count! Peach slowly became the first to sit up, staggered toward a corner turnbuckle, and proceeded to climb up it.
"Peach now looking to capitalize on a prone Nazz!" Early exclaimed. "Will Peach put her away?"
Peach made it to the top rope and hit Nazz with the Peach Press! Peach went for the cover, hooking the leg! 1. . .
2. . .
. . .2.75 NAZZ KICKED OUT! Peach rolled off Nazz and argued with the referee over the count!
"What could Nazz possibly have left?" questioned Early.
"We could be looking at the new Women's Champion here!" Shake cried as Peach turned back around and quickly avoided a clothesline from Nazz, causing Nazz to knock down the referee! Nazz stood back up and looked down at the referee in shock, completely unaware that Peach was right behind her! Peach then locked in the abdominal stretch!
"And Peach now looking to just put Nazz through non-stop pain with her abdominal stretch!" Early said, as Nazz screamed in agonizing pain! Nazz slowly stepped toward the ropes but Peach continued to press harder on the hold! Nazz raised her hand up. . .
. . .looks like she's about to tap. . .
Early said, "Nazz is about to become yet another victim of Peach's pain-inducing reign-"
. . .but Nazz instead uses a free arm to elbow Peach and counter the abdominal stretch into a headlock! Nazz then ran toward the ropes and successfully landed All That Nazz!
"BUT NAZZ COUNTERED OUT OF IT! ALL THAT NAZZ CONNECTS!" Early yelled in excitement! Nazz went for the cover and hooked the leg as the referee crawled toward the pin attempt! The referee made the count 1. . .
2. . .
. . .3!
The bell rang as Nazz stood back up and ran around the ring in celebration!
"IT'S OVER! NEW WOMEN'S CHAMPION!"
Nazz stopped suddenly to catch her breath and sell her abdomen as the crowd erupted into a frenzy!
"Here is your winner. . .AND THE NEW XTREME CARTOON WRESTLING WOMEN'S CHAMPION. . .NAZZ!"
Upon receiving the Women's title belt from the timekeeper, Nazz raised it above her head in victory!
"NAZZ HAS PUT AN EFFECTIVE END TO PEACH'S REIGN AS CHAMPION!" Early shouted.
Nazz stood in the middle of the ring and proceeded to do the DX crotch chop, with pyro coming in unison from each top rope!
"And brought even more gold to D-Generation-Ed in doing so!" Shake added. "They're beginning to look like the most decorated stable we have here in XCW!"
"You're absolutely right, Shake!" Early agreed. "But the most coveted prizes in XCW are yet to be decided here tonight! Not only will the World Heavyweight Championship be contested tonight in a triple threat match, but up next ,will be the final match in the March Majesty Tournament! Will Tai Kamiya emerge victorious and begin his uphill climb to the top of this industry, or will Tommy Vercetti, the number one seed of this tournament, continue to ride his wave of momentum and win the crown?"
"And keep in mind that the winner of this next match will not only be crowned XCW's first ever Majesty of March, but will also receive a shot at the XCW World Heavyweight Championship at Endgame!" Shake added.
"A lot at stake for the two men in our next match, as we go backstage with Carl Brutanandilewski, standing with Tai Kamiya and Sora Takenouchi!
Tai Kamiya and Sora Takenouchi stood in a hallway next to Carl Brutanandilewski, who had a microphone in hand.
"Tai Kamiya. . ." Carl asked, ". . .up next, you take on Tommy Vercetti for the title of March Majesty, and a shot for the XCW World Heavyweight Championship at Endgame. But for you and Sora, it's a lot more than that. Has the pressure gotten to you at all since the semifinals?
"Well, Carl. . ." said Tai. ". . .there is a lot on the line going into this match. Not only a shot at the XCW World Title, not only the March Majesty Tournament, but also my legacy and standing in the wrestling business. Nowadays, when everyone looks at me in the wrestling ring, they remember me from getting planted through a table by Ash Ketchum at Wrestlemania, for losing the Hardcore title to Kim Possible, and most recently, my loss to Davis in a ladder match, and getting beaten to a bloody pulp by Garfield. If I lose this next match, the futility continues. But right now, all that is in the past, and I am too close to the top of the mountain to even be able to miss a step! I am well-rested, well-trained, and ready to go for the finals! After tonight, when my fans look at me, they will no longer think about my failures. They will remember me as the greatest fictional wrestler of all time!"
Tai and Sora walked away from Carl hand-in-hand as the show went to a commercial break.
In the backstage area, Haruko Haruhara (from FLCL) stood next to Tommy Vercetti with a microphone in hand.
"Interviewer-in-training Haruko Haruhara here with the Harwood Butcher, current XCW Hardcore Champion, and the number one seed of the March Majesty Tournament, Tommy Vercetti,! Now Tommy, earlier tonight, you defeated Hotsuma to advance to the final match tonight, but it was a very hard fought contest. Do you think you're well-rested enough to compete in this next match?"
"Listen, sweet cheeks. . ." Tommy said. ". . .I was born with an uncanny ability to take every level of punishment! That's why I'm the Hardcore Champion. I can take on as many comers as anyone possibly can, that's why I'm the Harwood Butcher. As for why I'm the number one seed? Hotsuma took me all over the ringside area only an hour ago, and I don't feel one ounce of pain! Now I'll give Tai a lot of credit, he's come this far. But when it all comes down to it, I don't have anyone with me at ringside to cloud my mind! I'm my own man, I'm a killing machine, and after tonight, my already long list of accomplishments that you named off will have '2012 March Majesty Tournament Winner' at the end of it! Because my name is Tommy Vercetti. . .and I'm here to raise hell!"
Tommy got onto a Faggio moped next to him and drove away from Haruko.
Back in the arena, Plankton stood in the ring with a microphone in hand.
"The following contest. . .is scheduled for one fall. . .and it is the March Majesty Finals match! The winner of this match will be crowned the 2012 Majesty of March, and earn a shot for the Xtreme Cartoon Wrestling World Heavyweight Championship at Endgame!"
"This Fire Burns" by Killswitch Engage played as Tai and Sora ran onto the stage and down the ramp.
"Introducing first. . .being accompanied to the ring by Sora Takenouchi. . .from Odaiba, Japan. . .TAI KAMIYA!"
The crowd cheered as Tai and Sora slid into the ring, with Tai posing on two opposite turnbuckles toward the fans.
"This is more than just the final match in the March Majesty Tournament for Tai Kamiya. This is the final hurdle to jump before the finish line. This is the final obstacle on the course. This is the final curtain of the comeback! The final mountain-
Tai and Sora briefly kissed each other, upon which Sora left the ring and cheered her husband on at ringside.
"Enough with the clichés, Early! We get it! We get it! With a win tonight, Tai Kamiya puts himself back on the top of this industry! But his final test tonight won't be easy, as it comes against this man!"
"Wayfarer" by Kavinsky played as Tommy Vercetti rode down the ramp on a Faggio moped, until it came to a stop at the foot of the ramp.
"And his opponent. . .from Vice City, Florida. . .he is the Xtreme Cartoon Wrestling Hardcore Champion. . .the Harwood Butcher. . .TOMMY VERCETTI!" (Crowd Cheers)
Tommy rode the bike around the ringside area, coming to a stop at the foot of the ramp.
"We all know Tai needs this match for his legacy, but Tommy Vercetti needs this too!" Shake said. "Like his partner-in-crime, Claude Speed, Tommy has made an early mark in the Hardcore division. And like Claude did at Doomsday, Tommy is jumping for a chance to prove that he can compete outside the Hardcore division as well!"
Tommy Vercetti got off the moped and slid into the ring. He raised the Hardcore title belt above his head toward the fans.
"You're absolutely right, Shake!" Early agreed. "Tai is a phenomenal athlete and technical wrestler, but I don't think there is no one in XCW that is as intense a performer as the Harwood Butcher, Tommy Vercetti! With these two men squaring off for the title of Majesty of March and a World Title shot, we could have an instant classic on our hands!"
The bell rang and the match began with Tai and Tommy Vercetti on opposite sides of the ring, staring each other down. Tai and Tommy stepped to the center of the ring and came face-to-face.
"Two of the hottest rising stars in XCW, with two different fighting styles are about to compete in that very ring right now!" Early declared. "Who will make the first move?"
Tai suddenly tied Tommy up in the center of the ring and put him in a wrist lock. Tai went for a back suplex but Tommy dropped out of it and turned Tai to face him. Tommy then landed a series of punches and body shots to Tai's head and sternum, until Tai was backed up against the ropes on the other side of the ring. Tommy then Irish whipped Tai against the ropes on the other side of the ring. On the bounceback, Tommy landed a Lou Thesz Press onto Tai, then hammered away at his face with furious right and left hands! Tommy stood back up, walked around the ring and yelled in intensity! Tai got back up to his feet and Irish whipped Tommy into a corner. . .only for Tommy to bounce out of the corner and take Tai back down with a massive clothesline! Tommy went for the cover 1. . .2. . .Tai kicked out!
Tommy picked Tai up to his feet and Irish whipped him into a corner. Tommy then climbed onto the second rope and proceeded to nail Tai in the face with ten consecutive punches to the head, with the crowd counting along in unison with each punch! Tommy stepped off the turnbuckle and Tai fell into a seated position in the corner. Tommy then started to stomp a vicious mudhole into Tai's chest! The referee tried to break it up by pushing Tommy off him. Once the ref backed off, though, Tommy charged back to the corner and stomped on Tai some more! The referee came back to the corner and started the five count. Tommy stopped stomping once the count reached five. Tommy drug Tai back to the center of the ring and went for the cover again, hooking the leg! 1. . .2. . .Tai kicked out!
"Aside from Garfield's beatdown, I don't think I've ever seen Tai so dominated in singles competition!" Early said, astonished.
"Neither have I, Early!" Shake agreed. "But that's Tommy Vercetti for you. He's such an intense force inside the squared circle!"
Tommy picked Tai up to his feet and drug him by the hair toward another corner. Tai, however, elbowed Tommy repeatedly in the chest and came face-to-face with him. Tai then slapped Tommy in the chest with a fierce chop! Tommy winced in pain as Tai continued to hit Tommy in the chest with chop after chop until Tommy was backed up into a corner! Tai then landed a quick judo kick to the back of Tommy's head! Tai quickly went for the cover 1. . .2. . .Tommy kicked out!
Tai pulled Tommy up to his feet and landed more chops to his chest until he was backed up against another corner. Tai repeatedly hit Tommy in the face with elbow thrust after elbow thrust until Tommy managed to hit Tai with a boot to the abdomen. Tommy then knocked Tai over the ropes and down to the ringside floor, taking himself down with him! Tommy brought Tai up to his feet and kneed him in the chest before throwing him back-first against the ring apron. Tommy went for a lariat but Tai landed a kick to his chest, knocking him back a bit as the referee began the ten count! Tai charged at Tommy for a spear but Tommy caught him and lifted him up for a piledriver! Tai however, countered it into a Tornado DDT! As the referee's count reached three, Tai picked Tommy up by the shirt collar and drug him with intent on sliding him back in the ring but Tommy stopped Tai in his tracks and took him down with a Russian Leg Sweep!
As the referee's count reached five, Tommy picked Tai up by the hair and threw him face-first into the steel post! Tai's body crumbled to the floor as Tommy's attention turned to Sora, who looked on in concern from the adjacent side of the ring. He stared Sora down as he picked Tai back up by the hair and slid him back into the ring under the bottom rope.
"Watch this, sweetheart!" Tommy yelled in Sora's direction before landing an elbow to Tai's face!
"Tommy wants to be Majesty of March so bad, he'll do anything to win the crown! Even if it means to manhandle Tai and taunt Sora to watch!" Early stated while Tommy slid back into the ring, ending the referee's count at seven.
"Come on, Early!" Shake said. "Tommy's a convicted, psychotic killer and drug dealer! He can't go any lower!"
Tommy drug Tai to the middle of the ring and covered Tai, hooking the leg! 1. . .
2. . .
TAI KICKED OUT! Tommy looked down at Tai in shock!
"All that punishment, and Tai still kicked out!" Early said in excitement, as Tommy picked Tai up in position for a powerbomb, but Tai swept Tommy's legs out from under him and positioned himself behind a corner. Tai then threw Tommy over for a slingshot right into the top turnbuckle! Tommy careened around the ring in a daze until Tai caught him and took him down with a Northern Lights suplex pin attempt!
1. . .
2. . .
TOMMY KICKED OUT!
As Tai and Tommy rose to their feet, Tai struck first with chop after chop until Tommy clenched his sternum in pain. Tai then took Tommy down with a swinging neckbreaker! Tai then ran toward the ropes and landed a springboard moonsault onto Tommy! Tai hooked the leg and the referee made the count 1. . .
2. . .
. . .2.5 TOMMY KICKED OUT! Tai rolled off Tommy and both men laid down in the center of the ring trying to catch their breath as the referee began the ten count! Tai and Tommy staggered up to their feet and faced each other, still in a daze. They traded right hands until Tommy blocked a punch from Tai and wrenched his arm, moving right behind Tai. Tommy then lifted Tai up and took him down with a back drop! Tommy then ran against the ropes and landed a falling elbow to Tai's face! Tommy went for the cover 1. . .
2. . .
. . .2.5 TAI KICKED OUT! Tommy slapped his hand on the mat repeatedly in frustration!
"Another near fall!" Early exclaimed. "How much more damage must Tommy do to put Tai away?"
Tommy lifted Tai up and tied his arms up for the Vercetti Driver but Tai countered it into a backslide pin attempt! 1. . .2. . .Tommy kicked out! Tommy and Tai charged at each other and got into a tie-up. Tommy locked Tai into a waist-lock only for Tai to counter it into a waist-lock of his own, and take down Tommy with a trio of German suplexes! Tai went for the cover 1. . .
2. . .
. . .2.75 TOMMY KICKED OUT! Tai rolled off Tommy and pulled himself up with the ropes.
"Tai has come close to winning this thing on multiple occasions tonight!" Shake exclaimed. "What else does he have to do?"
Tai and Tommy rose to their feet and got into another fistfight! Tai would gain the advantage with a surprise left hand in between right hands, then Irish whipped Tommy against the ropes. Tai leapt onto the ropes behind him and on the bounceback, took Tommy down with a springboard hurricanrana! Tommy laid in the center of the ring while Tai looked up at the crowd, which was in a frenzy!
"Tai knows what he has left to do!" Early exclaimed. "The comeback's end comes closer with every step he takes toward the corner!"
Tai stepped to a corner and climbed to the top rope! Tai sized Tommy up and successfully landed the Tai Dive! Tai sold his head in pain as he crawled in for the cover! The referee made the count 1. . .
2. . .
"It's over-"
. . .2.99 TOMMY KICKED OUT!
"NOOO!" Early shouted as Tai rolled off Tommy in exhaustion. Tai stumbled up to his feet, still clenching his head while taunting for Tommy to get up! Tommy came to a standing position, upon which, Tai went for the Crossface, but Tommy caught Tai's arm and Irish whipped him against the ropes. On the bounceback, Tommy caught Tai and took him down with a Standing Spinebuster! Tommy looked around at all the fans, still crazy with excitement, and yelled at the top of his lungs in intensity! Taunting him to stand up, Tommy sized up Tai, who pulled himself up with the ropes. Tai managed to stagger up to his feet only for Tommy to tie up his arms, lift him up and drop him with the Vercetti Driver!
"THE HARWOOD BUTCHER AND THE NUMBER ONE SEED REIGNING SUPREME!"
Tommy yelled "Bow down!" while going for the cover, hooking the leg! 1. . .
"Long live His Majesty!" exclaimed Shake.
2. . .
"Tommy Verce-"
. . .2.99 TAI KICKED OUT! Tommy abruptly stood back up in disbelief!
"WHAT?" shouted Shake!
"HOW DID TAI KICK OUT?" Early questioned in amazement! Meanwhile, the crowd went wild all over the arena!
Tommy raised three fingers up to the referee, who asserts that the count was only two. Tommy shook his head as he lifted Tai up again. Tommy tied up Tai's arms as he walked over to the corner, taking Tai with him. Tommy lifted Tai up for the Vercetti Driver again but Tai countered out of it, taking Tommy down and locking him in the. . .
"CROSSFACE! THE CROSSFACE! TAI'S GOT THE CROSSFACE LOCKED IN!" Early, somehow intelligibly shouted. Tommy screamed in agonizing pain as Tai locked the hold in tighter! The referee asked Tommy if he wanted to quit but Tommy couldn't shake his head no! Tommy inched closer to the bottom rope. . .
. . .extended his hand out. . .
"WILL TOMMY TAP?" Shake questioned in excitement.
. . .and tried to counter the hold into a roll-up pin attempt but Tai didn't let go, keeping the hold locked in the center of the ring! Tommy wormed closer to the ropes. . .
. . .reached for them with a free hand. . .
. . .but tapped out! The bell rang but it could barely be heard over the crowd's cheering and screaming!
"IT'S OVER!" Early screamed!" OUR FIRST MAJESTY OF MARCH IS CROWNED!"
Tai rolled off Tommy and rose up to his knees as the referee raised his hand in victory!
"Here is your winner. . .AND THE 2012 MAJESTY OF MARCH. . .TAI KAMIYA!"
Sora slid into the ring and embraced Tai into a passionate kiss at the center of the ring!
"Tai Kamiya's comeback has come to fruition in a hard-fought match!" Early yelled. "These two men gave each other, and all the fans everything they had! But in the end, that man, used incredible athletic ability to regain the upper hand and force the number one seeded Harwood Butcher, Tommy Vercetti, to tap out!"
Tai and Sora left the ring, leaving Tommy laying on the mat exhausted. Tai and Sora made their way up the ramp toward the stage, where a large throne sat. (think the Iron Throne in Game of Thrones) Carl Brutanandilewski stood next to the throne with a microphone in hand, while two attendants put a king's robe on over Tai's shoulders, and gave him a crown.
"Tai Kamiya. . ." Carl said, "congratulations on winning our first March Majesty Tournament, and becoming XCW's first Majesty of March! Do you have anything to say about your accomplishment?"
Tai looked around at the arena in amazement, with the sellout crowd chanting "SPEECH! SPEECH! SPEECH!"
"I don't know what to say!" Tai said, between large gasps of breath. "I have to congratulate Tommy Vercetti, he gave his all as much as I did. . .but most of all, I've got to thank all the fans for sticking by me for the past fourteen years!"
The crowd erupted into cheers and chants of "TAI! TAI! TAI!" while Tai sat down onto the giant throne. "It was a long, uphill climb. . ." Tai said, ". . .but I am ON the top of this industry, and eagerly await the XCW World Heavyweight Champion at Endgame!"
The crowd continued to cheer as Sora came to Tai's side and planted another kiss on his lips.
"Well, Tai. . ." Carl said, ". . .you won't have to wait any longer to know who your opponent his, because you have a seat fit for a king for our final match tonight! Our main event: the triple threat match for the XCW World Heavyweight Championship! In the meantime, Tai, you and Sora get comfortable at your throne while we go live to Haruko Haruhara, who is backstage now with Bugs Bunny!"
With a microphone in hand, Haruko Haruhara stood in a hallway next to Bugs Bunny.
"Bugs Bunny. . ." Haruko asked, ". . .up next, you take on Mario and Garfield in a triple threat match for the XCW World Heavyweight Championship. Now, as we just saw, the next challenger for the title has been decided, so how are you feeling now, knowing that should you lose, you can't compete for the title next time?
"First, Haruko, before I say anything on that, first off I want to congratulate Tai Kamiya on winning the March Majesty Tournament. He worked his ass off to get back to where he is now, and I wish him best of luck at Endgame. That being said, nothing against him, but he'll need just that at Endgame, because come then, he's going to face ME for the XCW World Heavyweight Championship! Like Tai, I've worked too long and hard over the most coveted prize in XCW since its inception! What we all just saw out there was hard work paying off for one of the best wrestlers in this industry, and right now, Haruko. . .it's going to pay off again!"
Bugs strode away from Haruko confidently as the show went to a commercial break.
Back in the arena, Plankton stood in the center of the ring with a microphone in hand.
"The following contest. . .is scheduled for one fall. . .it is your Xtreme Cartoon Wrestling Main Event for the evening. . .and it is a No-Countout. . .No-Disqualification. . .Triple Threat match for the Xtreme Cartoon Wrestling World Heavyweight Championship!"
The crowd erupted into cheers as Plankton started to speak again.
"And now. . .please welcome, on commentary. . .the Interim Commissioner of Xtreme Cartoon Wrestling. . .JON ARBUCKLE!"
The crowd's cheers turned into boos as Jon Arbuckle wheeled onto the stage. Jon turned to face Tai and Sora, who stared him down in distrust. Jon mouthed the word "Congratulations" to them before continuing to wheel down the ramp. around the ringside area, and pulled up next to Master Shake.
"How's it going, Mr. Arbuckle?" Shake asked.
"It's going well, I just offered congratulations to our first Majesty of March, and my back is healing up faster than expected!" Jon answered. "Now I'm just out here to supervise the main event and try my hand at commentary!"
"Well, you picked the right one to call tonight!" Early said. "Because this main event is set to be a great one! There is no love lost between these three men, especially with the XCW World Heavyweight Championship up for grabs!"
"Introducing first. . .the challengers. . .from Muncie, Indiana. . .GARFIELD!"
"Bad Man" by Jim Johnston played as Garfield stomped down the ramp, focusing only on the ring.
"There's no doubt in my mind that Garfield is the clear favorite to win this match!" Jon said. "When you look at Garfield in the ring, you see more than just a giant cat. You see the most intimidating, powerful, and dominating specimen to ever compete inside the squared circle!"
Garfield stepped over all three ropes and glared around the arena with a look of anger.
"I'd agree with you if your opinion didn't come without bias!" Early said. "You raised Garfield long before the days of XCW, and trained him to be the monstrous beast he is in the wrestling business today!"
"Bias?" Jon scoffed. "I'm just stating the truth!"
"What's Up, Doc?" came from the titantron. The crowd cheered as "Buggin'" by Bugs Bunny began to play, then Bugs Bunny posed on the stage and walked up to Tai on the throne. Bugs offered him a handshake and Tai accepted it.
"I still owe you one." Bugs said to Tai before walking down the ramp.
"And his opponent. . .from Burbank, California. . .BUGS BUNNY!"
"Like Tai just now, Bugs Bunny is looking to put himself on the top of the mountain in this industry!" Early said. "He's fought time and time again for the XCW World Heavyweight Championship, but has gotten screwed over on almost every occasion. You've got to admire the undying spirit of the CWF Hall of Fame announcer as he continues to push himself higher on the list of the greatest cartoon wrestlers of all time!"
Bugs entered the ring and posed on a turnbuckle.
"And you have to think that the third time is the charm for Bugs Bunny!" Shake added. "This is his third pay-per-view main event where he will fight for the World Heavyweight Championship!"
"But if he doesn't win the title, he's gonna have to step aside for Tai Kamiya to fight for his shot at Endgame next month!" Jon informed. "This time, it's win or go home for Bugs Bunny!"
"Teen Beat Ocean" by Jackson and His Computer Band played as pyro exploded in unison to the first notes of the song. Mario ran onto the stage and down the ramp, with Mario raising his belt above his head toward the fans.
"From The Mushroom Kingdom. . .he is the Xtreme Cartoon Wrestling World Heavyweight Champion. . .MARIO!"
"It's already been a rough night for Mario and the Syndicate." Early informed. "While Luigi successfully defended the Television title against Daffy Duck, Mario's wife, Peach, lost the Women's Championship to Nazz of D-Generation-Ed! And now the XCW World Heavyweight Champion finds himself with the odds against him in this triple threat match!"
Mario stood on a turnbuckle taunting the fans with the World title belt.
"You got that right!" Jon said in agreement. "Now the self-proclaimed 'Champion of Life' has to put that title and the World Heavyweight title on the line against the mastodon Garfield and his greatest XCW rival to this date, Bugs Bunny!"
"Mario was able to take Garfield down, with Bugs' help surprisingly!" Shake said. "I have a feeling it's gonna come down to Mario and Bugs just one more time!"
Mario stepped off the turnbuckle and immediately charged at Garfield with the World title belt! Bugs stopped him immediately, though, catching him with a waist lock as the bell rang and the match officially began! Mario fought out of the waist lock and clocked Bugs in the face repeatedly with vicious right hands until Garfield picked Mario up by the overalls and threw him to the other side of the ring! Garfield then lumbered over to Bugs and grabbed him by the shoulders, then threw him like a bag of potatoes across the ring! Mario then rose to his feet and charged at Garfield again, only for Garfield to take him back down with a headbutt! Garfield put his foot on Mario for the cover 1. . .Mario quickly kicked out! Mario then grabbed Garfield's leg and swept it out from under him. Mario tried to lock Garfield into a Half Boston Crab but Bugs got back up, locked Mario into a waist-lock and took him down with a Full Nelson Slam! Bugs went for the cover 1. . .2. . .Garfield pulled Bugs off Mario and threw him over the ropes, and down to the ringside floor!
Garfield loomed over Mario and went to pick him up, only for Mario to scoot back into a corner, putting his hands up in front of him, begging for mercy. Garfield however, pressed a foot up against Mario's face, pushing it against a bottom corner turnbuckle! Mario coughed and gasped for air, trying to scratch and kick Garfield off him but to no avail!
"Pain. Garfield is just putting the World Heavyweight Champion through non-stop pain right now!" Early said.
"And there's nothing the referee can do about it!" Shake exclaimed. "There's no disqualification!"
"Those are the rules of a triple threat match!" Jon said. "And Garfield is abiding by them! That's the mark of a great champion!"
Garfield continued to choke Mario out in the corner until Bugs came around and swept Garfield's other leg out from under him! Bugs then pulled Garfield out of the ring with all his might! Bugs then charged at Garfield and speared him up against the ring apron before sliding back into the ring. Bugs then picked Mario up and Irish whipped him into another corner. Mario bounced off the corner and Bugs took him down with a running powerslam! Bugs went for the cover 1. . .2. . .Mario kicked out! Garfield rose up to his feet and started to climb back into the ring, only for Bugs to run against the ropes and knock Garfield back down to the ringside floor with a baseball slide! Bugs turned his attention back to Mario and kneed him in the gut. Bugs then set Mario up for the Bunny Bomb, but Mario countered it with a back body drop! Mario quickly went for the cover 1. . .Bugs kicked out! Mario brought Bugs back up to a standing position and Irish whipped him over the ropes and down to the ringside floor close to the announcer's table! Mario picked Bugs up by the ears and went to slam his head into the ring post but Bugs got a hold of Mario and slammed him face-first into the post instead! Bugs then strode to the announcer's table and took off the covering and the TV monitors!
"What the hell is he doing? This is totally unnecessary." Jon exclaimed.
"Abiding by the rules, just like you said!" Early said.
Bugs then came back to Mario and picked him up by the overalls. Bugs then threw Mario face-up onto the announcer's table and pointed up at a top turnbuckle! The crowd cheered in excitement as Bugs slid back into the ring and climbed up a corner turnbuckle! Bugs then slapped his elbow three times in anticipation for the Acme Elbow Drop!
"Bugs looking to pull the thorn out of his side. . ." said Early, ". . .and take Mario out of the equation early!"
Bugs leapt off the corner turnbuckle for the Acme Elbow Drop only for Garfield to come out of nowhere and catch him in mid-air!
"OH NO!" Early screamed, as Garfield lifted Bugs up with two hands by the throat, right above the table!
"Bugs only took Garfield out temporarily, and is now about to get what's coming to him!" Jon said, as Garfield slammed Bugs on top of Mario with a two-handed chokebomb, putting him and Mario through the announce table at the same time!
"GOOD GOD!" Early yelled. "Our table has been destroyed, thanks to the monster Garfield! And both Bugs and Mario may have been broken right in half!"
Garfield pulled Mario and Bugs up to their feet and slid them both into the ring under the bottom rope. Garfield covered Bugs, hooking the leg! 1. . .2. . .Bugs kicked out! Garfield shot up from the cover in disbelief!
"Bugs's spirit will never die, even after it's been put through a table!" Shake commented as Garfield covered Mario! 1. . .2. . .MARIO KICKED OUT! Garfield looked down at Mario with an angry sneer!
"Garfield just put the champion and the challenger through the same table, and by God, they're still not done!" Early said.
Garfield then lumbered over to Bugs and slammed his foot down onto his lower back! Bugs screamed and wheezed in agonizing pain as Garfield applied more pressure by pushing down on the top rope. Garfield continued to squeeze the life out of Bugs until Mario took Garfield down with a chop block! Mario then grabbed one of Garfield's legs, spun him onto his chest and locked him into a single-leg Boston Crab! Garfield screamed in agonizing pain as he crawled quickly to the bottom rope. . .until Bugs Bunny suddenly grabbed Garfield's other leg, and locked it in the ankle lock! Mario and Bugs then pulled Garfield back to the center of the ring and reapply their respective submission holds!
"MY GOD!" Early yelled. "The pain must be excruciating!"
"Mario and Bugs hinted at this last Monday!" Shake said. "And sure enough, they're working together here to take out the legs of Garfield! Great strategy!"
Garfield screamed in agonizing pain as he crawled slowly toward the ropes. The referee knelt down and asked Garfield if he wanted to quit but Garfield ignored him, clawing his way toward the ropes. Garfield extended his hand out. . .
. . .inched closer to the ropes. . .
. . .and successfully grabbed onto the bottom rope, forcing Mario and Bugs to break their holds!
"The holds must be broken, but I think the damage has been done!" Early said as Bugs went for the cover on Garfield! The referee made the count 1. . .2. . .Mario pulled Bugs off Garfield and went for the cover himself! 1. . .2. . .Bugs broke up the three count! Garfield rolled out of the ring to collect himself as Bugs and Mario stood up to their feet and came face-to-face in the center of the ring in a staredown!
"Ohhh man. . ." Shake said in excitement. "These two men have been going at it since XCW's inception!"
"And they look to go at it again, with the ring, for the time being, all to themselves!" Early said.
Mario and Bugs then break out into a fistfight, exchanging right hands as the crowd erupts into cheers! They continued to punch each other in the face until Bugs landed a surprise left hand before a right, after which Bugs grabbed Mario by the arm and Irish whipped him across the ring! After Mario bounced off the ropes, Bugs caught Mario and took him down with a Scoop Slam! Bugs picked Mario up as he looked up at the crowd in astonishment!
"This could be Bugs' moment!" Early said, as Bugs set Mario up for the Bunny Bomb! Bugs lifted him up only for Mario to fall out of it and take Bugs down with a neckbreaker! Mario went for the cover 1. . .

BUGS' FOOT WAS ON THE ROPES! Mario rolled off Bugs with a look of disappointment! Mario then stood back up and taunted for Bugs to stand up, but Bugs rolled out of the ring. Mario slid out of the ring too, meeting Bugs by the ring apron. Mario grabbed Bugs by the ears and pulled him away from the apron. . .unaware that Bugs pulled a mallet from under the ring! Mario turned Bugs to face him only to take a mallet shot right to the face from Bugs!
"BUGS WITH HIS SIGNATURE MALLET TO THE FACE OF OUR WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION!" exclaimed Early, as Bugs whacked Mario in the back with the mallet! Bugs then grabbed Mario by the overalls and threw him back into the ring, and sized him up while holding the mallet like a baseball bat!
"Bugs Bunny has put up with Mario for long enough!" Jon said. "He's looking to finally put him away!"
Mario staggered up to his feet and slowly turned to face Bugs, who swung the mallet at Mario's face! Mario ducked, however, and dodged the swing! Mario kneed Bugs in the gut and took him down with a Triple Rolling Suplex!
"Mario has regained control, and is now looking to put this match away!" Early said.
Mario looked at the crowd and raised a peace sign at them, causing them to boo in return. Mario then pointed up to a corner turnbuckle and climbed to the top rope!
"The Super Mario Syndicate just might stay alive, along with Mario's World Title reign. . ." Jon exclaimed, ". . .with one emphatic Super Mario Splash!"
Mario leapt off the turnbuckle and landed the Super Mario Splash onto Bugs! Mario went for the cover, hooking the leg! 1. . .

Garfield then stumbled back into the ring over all three ropes and landed a huge falling elbow to Bugs's sternum! Mario punched and kicked at Garfield's sternum as he stood back up. Mario then landed a kick to Garfield's leg, causing him to sell it pain. Mario then leapt up and took Garfield down with a DDT! All three men lay down in the center of the ring, exhausted!
"GARFIELD IS DOWN! BUGS IS DOWN! THE CHAMPION IS DOWN! WHO'S GONNA WALK OUT OF HERE TONIGHT AS THE XCW WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION?" Early screamed!
"All the damage to the legs Garfield suffered throughout the match has definitely taken its toll!" Jon said, as Bugs staggered up to his feet, selling his chest. Bugs then picked Mario up by the overalls and put him in position for a powerbomb! Bugs raised a fist up as the crowd roared in excitement! Bugs lifted Mario up above his head and successfully landed the Bunny Bomb!
"BUGS IS GONNA DO IT! GOING FOR THE COVER!" Early exclaimed as the referee slowly crawled back into the ring while Bugs went for the cover, hooking the leg! 1. . .

"Good God! Garfield has gone berserk!" Early exclaimed.
"When Garfield doesn't get what he wants. . ." Jon said, ". . .he gets angry!"
Garfield then turned back to face Bugs, who hit Garfield in the face with a Karate Kick! Garfield fell down to the mat in a daze as Bugs looked around at the fans, cheering wildly!
"WILL THIS BE THE FINAL STEP BUGS NEEDS TO FINALLY CLAIM THE WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP?" Early cried as Bugs stumbled up to the top rope. While Mario slowly staggered up to his feet in a daze, Bugs looked around at all the fans again and slapped his elbow three times. Bugs dove off the top rope for the Acme Elbow Drop. . .only for Garfield to grab him by the throat as he landed!
"OH MY GOD!" Early yelled.
"Bugs left an opening for Garfield!" Shake exclaimed as Garfield stood back up, keeping his grip on Bugs' neck! Mario finally came to and charged at Garfield, only for Garfield to grab him by the throat as well! Garfield lifted Bugs and Mario up high above his shoulders and took them both down with a Double Chokeslam!
"GARFIELD CONNECTING WITH THE CHOKESLAMS!" Jon yelled. "COVER!"
Garfield laid on top of both Mario and Bugs, going for the cover!
"But there's no referee!" Shake said, while Jon rushed to take his headphones off.
"As interim commissioner, I'm going to do what's right!" Jon exclaimed as he wheeled up to the ring apron, got up from his wheelchair, climbed up the steel steps and entered the ring!
"WAIT A DAMN MINUTE! ARBUCKLE COULD WALK THE WHOLE TIME?" Early exclaimed as Jon made the count! 1. . .

"WE'VE BEEN HAD, SHAKE!" Early screamed in anger. "ARBUCKLE HAD US FOOLED THE WHOLE TIME!"
Jon gave the World title to Garfield and raised his arm in victory! Bugs and Mario rolled out of the ring while Tai and Sora stood up from the throne on the stage, their mouths agape in disbelief!
"WE'VE GOT A NEW WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION!" shouted Early. "BUT CORRUPTION STILL REEKS IN XCW!"
Garfield and Jon came to the center of the ring and faced the stage, staring Tai down as he walked to the center of the ramp!
"Since Doomsday, we knew that it was far from over between Tai and Garfield. . ." Shake said.
Tai and Sora stared down Garfield and Jon from the ramp as March Majesty went off the air!
". . .and at Endgame, it will be a rematch of rematches: The World Heavyweight Champion against the Majesty of March!"
And so concludes March Majesty. As always, let me know if there's anything that doesn't make sense, or if there are any character inconsistencies, and how I can improve my promo writing.
Also, real life is gonna be busy for me really soon, and plus I'll be working on Destined, a second fic, along with this one, but I'll do my best to update as soon as I can. Until I update next, RATE/GRADE/REVIEW!
