Chapter 12: Roses On Your Marks
10… 9… 8… 7… 6… 5… 4… 3… 2… 1… *BZZT!*
Entrant #81: Lightning (Final Fantasy XIII)
Once that buzzer sounded yet again (I'm not lying, it's turning a bit of an earworm), the people around the stadium soon heard the song "Shadows Of The Night" from Pat Benatar play out all around the stadium as a woman with pink hair, white vest dress, red belt and shin-guards came out through the curtain and down the aisle to a brilliant reception from the crowd.
"Looks like the Final Fantasy series has gotten more badass." Tazz smirked.
"Especially now that Lightning from Final Fantasy XIII is now in the Rumble match!" Cole exclaimed yet again, "She's the 81st entrant to enter so far."
"You can best be sure this ring is already filling out as we speak." The King replied
JR then shrugged out, "I have no idea how many people are in the ring so far. Let's hope this ring can be strong enough to hold that much!"
"Well JR, if I calculated this right there's now 31 competitors in the ring right now." Cole explained.
Tazz grinned to Cole, "Man that's some nice math, Cole."
Lightning then got on the apron, just in time to see Candy Cane try to get her hands on Ellie, who was trying to block herself from getting a thrashing from the pissed-off schoolgirl.
Candy Cane suddenly looked up to her and saw Lightning hop to the ropes, catching her in surprise with a big springboard blockbuster!
"And Lightning goes on the attack!" Cole shouted.
"I think Ellie may have to thank Lightning for saving her hide right there!" JR pointed out.
Tazz then turned to JR and replied, "Although I think Candy Cane's gonna remember that soon enough."
"Yeah but with a tough woman like Lightning, I can see her giving Candy Cane the short end of the candy stick!" The King nodded.
Lightning wasn't quite done with Candy Cane just yet. Just as the rebellious school girl was getting groggy on the mat, the pink-haired warrior rushed right to the ropes and leaped back, hitting Candy Cane with a high-risk Lionsault!
"Lionsault connected!" Tazz exclaimed.
"Lightning picking up some momentum here!" Cole pointed out.
As Lightning began to get back up, she felt Krystal's arms wrap around her from behind, looking to get her out of nowhere with a German Suplex.
But using her smarts and brains, Lightning managed to shake her own body, getting Krystal off of her only for the blue fox to turn right around and eat a big modified STO from Lightning herself.
"Oh, impressive counter right there!" JR replied.
The worst wouldn't be over for Krystal though as Lightning then wrapped one of her legs around the fox's neck and locked her arms over her, trapping Krystal with a big Koji Clutch! The blue fox struggled to break free as hard as she could, but Lightning locked into the hold tighter as she could, ridding the air out of Krystal's entire brain as a result.
"Koji Clutch!" Cole exclaimed once more, "Lightning's got it locked in!"
"Krystal's in a heap of trouble here, guys." Tazz pointed out, "Because even if submissions don't count in this match, her getting blacked out from the hold could be more than enough to throw her over!"
"I think it could be Lightning's intention." JR nodded.
As the submission hold continued, Trish saw what was going on between Lightning and Krystal and decided to do something about it. So she ran right to the ropes and back again, hitting Krystal with a big desolation dropkick right to the side of the head!
"Oh, big dropkick by Trish!" Cole replied.
"I kinda thought she'd save Krystal on that one!" JR pointed out again.
"Apparently, that wasn't the case this time around." Tazz shook his head, "That was quite a hit on the cerveza."
"You mean cabeza, Tazz." JR said to Tazz.
Tazz then replied with, "I'm certain JBL told me it was cerveza."
"I swear, I don't even know why you listen to him in the first place..." Cole said, shaking his head out of regret for Tazz.
Meanwhile, as Krystal was trying her best to get back into the matchup, the camera looked outside the ring and got a good glimpse of both Byleth and Dorothea, who were busy pulling out a table from under the apron before setting it up to the enjoyment of fans watching.
"Uh-oh, looks like somebody's putting the wood into play!" Tazz pointed out.
"Things are about to get hardcore in this match." JR replied,
"Oh man, I hate to see who's gonna get the bad end of those tables." The King gulped in fear.
However, one table wasn't enough to satisfy them though as Byleth dug under the apron again for another table, followed by Dorothea grabbing a roll of barbed wire to wrap on top of it, leaving the crowd aching for more.
JR also gulped in fear as well, "By gawd, it's gonna be worse than I imagined!"
"Oh my god, Dorothea is wrapping that barbed wire all around that table!" Cole shuddered in horror.
"Yeah, I'm surprised her fingers ain't even getting cut from touching that stuff!" Tazz shook his head.
"Oh no I can't watch this!" The King shrieked as he covered his eyes.
JR then looked to The King and said, "Why are you covering your eyes? No one's gone through the table yet!"
"So what, JR?" The King replied, "It's horrible whether you like it or not!"
Right as both Byleth and Dorothea were busy setting up the table, the camera got a good look inside the ring where Johnny Cage was getting to the ropes after being trapped in an ankle hold by Xion. He somehow looked to Dorothea and started begging for help, yet to no avail because she was busy ignoring him.
"Hey, hot girl with the cute little hat, can you help me out here?" Cage pleaded to Dorothea in pain, "My ankle's starting to f***ing hurt!"
"Yeah, I don't think that's actually gonna help, Cage!" Tazz shook his head to him.
"Hey you can't do that to Johnny Cage!" The King shrieked in concern, "That's his fighting feet!"
"Tough luck, King!" JR replied, "He definitely brought this on himself!"
Xion looked to lock in the hold for even longer until Lightning immediately came out of nowhere and decked Xion right in the back of the head with a back superkick!
"Oh, a superkick from behind!" Cole cringed a little.
"Lightning nearly knocked her brain off her skull!" Tazz exclaimed, "I think some aspirin's in order!"
The hit proved to be more enough for Xion to be knocked out from the maneuver, which gave Lightning the opportunity to grab her from behind and chuck her over the top rope and onto the floor, getting her first elimination of the match.
"Well, you can cross Xion off the Rumble!" Tazz pointed out.
"Indeed, Tazz." JR nodded, "She's done for the day!"
51st Elimination: Xion; Eliminated by: Lightning; Duration: 18:48
As Xion slowly found herself exiting ringside, the crowd once more all turned their attention to the stage, where the countdown clock started lighting up towards its next entrant of the Rumble match.
"We've got our next entrant coming up, guys!" Tazz said, pointing to the clock.
"I can't wait to see who comes out next." The King replied in anticipation.
10… 9… 8… 7… 6… 5… 4… 3… 2… 1… *BZZT!*
Entrant #82: Eric Sparrow (Tony Hawk's Underground)
After the buzzer sounded off full-blast, the ecstatic cheers from the crowd all turned to raucous boos as a man dressed in a pink shirt (which was covered over a long-sleeved shirt he got on), blue jeans, black sneakers and nearly-shaved brown hair came through the curtain set to the tune of "I Love Livin' In The City" by Fear. The boos were definitely headache-inducing for Eric to endure, forcing the crowd to break out in a repeatable "Sparrow Sucks" chant over and over again.
Cole saw him immediately and groaned, "Oh no..."
"You mean, 'Oh, yes'!" Tazz corrected Cole idiotically, "The best skateboarder in the entire universe is here in the Rumble!"
"Oh, get real, Tazz!" The King rolled his eyes to Tazz before replying, "This annoying cheater's not great as he thinks he is!"
"Well, like it or not, guys, Eric Sparrow from the Tony Hawk's Underground games is in this match," Cole groaned again, "This is gonna be a nightmare."
"I swear, what on earth do you guys have against this guy?" Tazz said to his partners, referring to Eric.
"You know, Tazz, I don't feel like explaining this to you!" JR groaned to Tazz.
"Probably because you nor Cole don't know anything about Eric Sparrow." The King replied.
Sparrow found himself triggered by the boos so easily that he got out a microphone from his pocket and took his time taking shots at the audience themselves.
"Hey, I don't know why you're chanting that, but the rest of you buttnuggets better start showing me the respect I damn well deserve!" The skateboarder growled angrily at the audience, who continued to boo him monstrously even going so far to chant 'You Suck' over and over again to him. "You think I suck. No, the rest of you all suck, just because I'm a better skateboarder than that wannabe me, Tony Hawk or that dope out freak Bam Margera combined!"
"Oh come on now, what disrespect from this punk." JR glared with anger.
"Hey, all he's doing is speaking from the heart," Tazz said to JR before saying, "I mean, nothing wrong with flaunting those mic skills of his."
"Oh give me a break, Tazz!" Cole replied, rolling his eyes. "The only thing he's ever known for is screaming like a little girl and wetting his own pants when Bam pointed that chainsaw at him!"
"Geez Cole, since when did you and JR become biased?" The King asked.
With JR and Cole ignoring what The King said, Eric continued his slow walk down the aisle while continuing to rip the San Diego crowd to shreds.
"And you wanna know who else sucks besides the rest of you San Diego skankoids?" Eric scowled before saying, "I'll tell you all who, those filthy shit-turds you call the San Diego Chargers! The reason why never won a Super Bowl in the first place is because you spend all day and night in your homes cheering for those dim-witted San Francisco 49ers instead this one time 24 years ago! I can tell why the team chose to leave this dump, because this town deserves to go into the toilet where it deserves."
The booing grew so large and violent that the fans that were sitting at ringside were getting out of their seats and attempted to get into the barricade, trying their best to punch the prick himself. Unfortunately for them, the rest of the security team were holding their back.
"That is a bunch of bullcrap!" JR scowled out again.
"Yeah right, like you know the difference between champions like Eric and losers like the Chargers." Tazz smirked to his partners.
"Are you blind Tazz, or just an a**hole?" Cole replied as he glared at his partner, "Because you clearly don't pay attention to the NFL or any Sports that don't have teams you like."
"Oh and I guess you guys do?" The King said sarcastically to his partners.
Despite the booing that was sent out to him, Eric let out a smirk as he finished his closing statement to the rest of the fans, "But don't you worry, everyone. I promise that yours truly, Eric Sparrow, will bring this city that sucks into a new lease on life. I will finally bring you the title that the rest of you fans all deserve. Watch and observe as I, Eric Sparrow, become the first ever winner of the Video Game All-Star Royal Rumble and the first ever, King of San Diego!"
As the fans continued to boo, the competitors in the ring all stopped what they were doing and watched as Eric Sparrow got right in the ring, making the biggest mistake as he taunted the rest of the angered competitors. The rest of the competitors (except Eric) all looked at each other and nodded, all before surrounding and ganging up on Eric Sparrow, pounding him viciously to the mat much to the delight of the San Diego audience and both Cole and JR. Tazz and The King on the other hand, complained as always seeing Eric take the brutal pounding he deserved.
"Hey, come on, that's not fair!" The King whined, "What are they doing?!"
Cole grinned, "Well, I think it's safe to say that Eric's about to eat his words the hard way!"
"I say that punk damn well deserves every beating he's taking right now." JR nodded in agreement.
Tazz then whined as well, "It's not right, they should at least give him a fighting chance!"
"Why the hell should they give him one after the way he insulted everyone in the crowd?!" Cole said to Tazz in return.
The King shrugged idiotically before saying, "I think it's in the rulebook somewhere!"
"There is nothing in the damn rulebook that says anything like that, King." JR replied, "I swear, and to think Corey Graves and JBL were morons…"
"Seriously Tazz, both you and The King both need help." Cole scowled out to both Tazz and The King.
Tazz then turned to Cole and spoke with an offensive tone, "Excuse me?"
"Oh really, Cole?" The King glared, "You and JR are ones to talk, I'm surprised Mr. McMahon didn't fire both of you already."
"At least we're not biased." JR growled.
The beatdown had gone on for a full 15 seconds, therefore leaving Eric Sparrow no time at all to get up and recover from that brutal beatdown.
It was all that Marshall Law, Cammy White, Duke Nukem, Jin Kazama, Lightning, Crash Bandicoot, Blaze Fielding, Ezio Auditore, Rouge The Bat and Soma Cruz needed to deadlift Eric Sparrow off the mat and lift him up in a Gorilla Press.
Realizing they were dangerously close to the double barbed-wire table that was set up by Byleth and Dorothea earlier, the 10-competitor team all launched Eric over the top rope, falling all the way down to the barbed wire table, crashing through it painfully to an earth-shattering ovation!
"GOOD GAWD ALMIGHTY! THEY KILLED HIM!" JR shrieked in horror.
"OH MY LORD!" Cole shouted, "Eric Sparrow may be history!"
"Damn it, it's not fair!" Tazz said, crying in defeat, "He didn't get a chance, Cole!"
"You're telling me!" The King replied in agreement, "I hope you two are happy!"
"Oh, we're satisfied, King!" Cole chuckled in return.
"It's justice, and it damn well feels good." JR nodded.
52nd Elimination: Eric Sparrow; Eliminated by: Marshall Law, Cammy White, Duke Nukem, Jin Kazama, Lightning, Crash Bandicoot, Blaze Fielding, Ezio Auditore, Rouge the Bat and Soma Cruz; Duration: 0:24
Eric immediately found himself screaming in excruciating pain. So much so that the EMT's weren't bothering to help the annoying, skateboarding loudmouth at all.
"Oh great, how insulting is this?" Tazz groaned, "Those nurses down at ringside ain't even coming to his aid!"
"That's his own damn fault," JR replied back to Tazz, "If he wants help, let him get it himself."
As Tazz and The King continued to whine about their BS, the whole entire promo alongside the beatdown that Eric Sparrow suffered took up an entire minute, which was more than enough for the Rumble clock to appear on the titantron and reveal the next entrant that was about to come out momentarily.
"Well, while Tazz and King are busy crying in their beer, we might as well see who's coming out at #83!" Cole said, pointing to the curtain.
"Well, I for one ain't excited," The King shook his head, "I bet there's no one that can cheer me up from Eric getting eliminated."
10… 9… 8… 7… 6… 5… 4… 3… 2… 1… *BZZT!*
Entrant #83: Mai Shiranui (Fatal Fury/The King of Fighters)
Once the buzzer sounded off yet again, the song "The Jack" by AC/DC began to blare out across the soundsystem. That of course was soon followed by the appearance of a certain buxom kunoichi dressed clad in red with a familiar brown ponytail, who came out strutting those curvaceous hip curves of hers and waving that signature fan of hers. All of the male fans in the audience, and including Jerry "The King" Lawler, all got themselves hot and bothered looking and gawking at the sexy entrant herself.
"Wait a minute, more puppies are coming through! I repeat, more puppies coming through!" The King shrieked in happiness.
"There we go, now there's the King we know and love." Cole chuckled.
JR found himself nodding as well as he said, "I can tell why that is because coming up next is one of SNK's most sexiest fighters of all time from both Fatal Fury and The King of Fighters, Mai Shiranui!"
Tazz grinned, "Oh baby, I can tell she'll be perfect for the good boys and girls here in this Rumble!" (Yeah, it's a Sakurai reference, I can tell.)
After she was done showing off for the hot and horny fans at ringside, Mai set her fan aside and bolted down the aisle as fast as she could, all before entering the ring to a fist shot courtesy of Cammy White. But that didn't affect Mai though as she managed to punch right back though, catching the Delta Red leader off guard with a four hit punch combo all before decking her with a reverse back elbow!
"Whoa, look at Mai killing it here!" JR pointed out.
"She's definitely not gonna let Cammy upstage her by a mile!" Tazz nodded.
"Mai is known as the Queen of Fighters for many reasons, Tazz." Cole added in.
Mai wasn't quite done with Cammy just yet though as the buxom ninja soon saw Cammy get right back up. It wouldn't be for long though as Mai leaped up right in the air and went down on Cammy with a Rough Ryder leg lariat!
"And down comes Cammy again!" JR exclaimed.
"No doubt she's getting the worst end of that Shiranui style beatdown!" The King shook his head with a smile.
Tazz smirked as well saying, "I hate to be that next contestant who suffers that!"
Meanwhile, as Mai was busy building up momentum from her appearance, the camera shifted back to Kitana as she was busy trying to lift Sophitia Alexandra from behind, hoping to set her up with a big Super Back Suplex from the lower right turnbuckle.
"Wait a minute, Kitana's about to go high risk here." Cole pointed out.
"Definitely not the position that both women want to be in, Cole." Tazz shook his head as well.
JR nodded before saying, "Possibly cause there's a good chance they'll be pushed over and out that way."
Thankfully for the two girls themselves, nobody was getting in both Kitana and Sophitia's way.
That left the princess of Edenia open to attempt to lift Sophitia up for that Super Back Suplex. Before she could however, she felt her legs being grabbed by D-Va, who successfully managed to slam both Kitana and Sophitia all the way down to the mat with a powerbomb, all while Kitana still held Sophitia in that back suplex position, resulting in a different version of the Tower of Doom!
"Oh, dear lord!" Cole said, shrieking a little.
"D-Va sending both of them all the way down to hell!" J.R. shrieked as well.
"Hard to believe she's one of the few ones still alive in this matchup!" Tazz exclaimed, "I'll tell ya, guys, D-Va's one hell of a survivor!"
Meanwhile, at another part of the ring, Ezio Auditore was taking control of Marshall Law, taking the martial artist from behind with a big Abdominal Stretch. But just to make it hard for Mr. Law himself, Ezio managed to grab Law's leg and bend it back as well, trapping him in a cobra version of the stretch himself.
"Look at this," The King replied to JR, "He's bending Law like an accordion!"
"That he is, King." JR said, nodding to his partner.
"You wonder if he's gonna play him as well, JR?" The King smirked yet again.
JR then shrugged before shaking his head, "Why on earth should I know?!"
The pain that Law was feeling around his back was excruciating at best, getting worse with each possible second. The martial artist struggled to fight back by trying to reach out to the ropes, but the abdominal pain was too much for him to withstand alone.
All seemed lost for him until Jack Carver came running out of nowhere and decked Ezio with a big boot. That shot proved to be enough for Ezio to finally let go of Law for now.
"What a shot by Jack!" Tazz exclaimed.
"I think he might have added a few years to Law's life for that assist!" Cole pointed out yet again.
Jack Carver wasn't looking to be done with Ezio just yet. He immediately added insult to injury by grabbing the assassin's arms while Jack used his own foot to stomp on Ezio's face repeatedly, crushing him with mini curb-stomps over and over.
"By gawd, Jack Carver's gone out of control!" JR exclaimed.
"I hate to see how much in pain Ezio's kisser is right now!" The King shook his head in return.
While Ezio continued to hold that mouth of his in pain, the crowd all looked towards the stage and saw the Rumble clock light up once again to the next entrant entering the Rumble match.
"This action's getting quite tense as it continues, folks." Cole replied, "Who will keep that trend next?"
10… 9… 8… 7… 6… 5… 4… 3… 2… 1… *BZZT!*
Entrant #84: Chris Redfield (Resident Evil)
After the Rumble buzzer sounded off for the 83rd time, the song "Savior" by Rise Against proceeded to play all throughout Qualcomm Stadium as a muscle-built man dressed in his famous Bioterrorism Security Assessment Alliance uniform from Resident Evil 5 came out to a rip roaring amount of cheers from this San Diego crowd. They popped even harder when he dug something from his pants and showed everyone the American flag for everyone else to see.
"Now here's some serious muscle coming in, guys!" The King pointed out.
"And it's in the form of longtime Resident Evil veteran Chris Redfield at #84!" JR exclaimed.
"Aw yeah, there's my guy right there Cole." Tazz grinned, "If you want to find real American steel, Chris Redfield knows how to get it done!"
"He definitely proved that once he punched that boulder back at RE5." Cole nodded.
After he put away that flag of his, Chris made a fast sprint right down the aisle before he finally got in the ring, only to engage in a fistoff between himself and Agent 47. The two men went right at it, punching each other in the face just to see who would get the momentum in this encounter.
"Whoa, Chris not wasting any time right away!" Tazz pointed out.
"He and Agent 47 are engaging in a big slobberknocker here!" JR shouted.
"Only one of these men will get the upper edge in the Rumble!" Cole shouted as well.
The slugfest lasted for a good ten seconds before Chris won the encounter by trapping Agent 47 to the upper right turnbuckle and stomping his ribs repeatedly, therefore stomping that mudhole and walking it dry.
"Looks like Chris definitely proved that superiority!" The King said, pointing over to Chris.
"I think the Hitman's being the one that's getting the full hit right now." Tazz nodded.
Chris continued to stomp endlessly at Agent 47 before he found himself stopped by his tracks thanks to Crash Bandicoot. But Crash wasn't looking to hit him though.
Instead, he forced Chris to go down on all fours, leading Crash himself to hop on Chris's spine and hit Agent 47 with a Poetry In Motion leg lariat, knocking the hitman very silly in response!
"Well that's an unexpected teaming right there!" JR pointed out.
"Crash hitting that Poetry In Motion to good use!" Tazz also pointed out, nodding back and forth.
The worst wouldn't be quite over for Agent 47 though as Candy Cane and YunSeong also capitalized on this occasion by decking the hitman in the face with a double superkick!
"Superkick Party coming through!" Cole exclaimed.
"I'm not lying, this two-person alliance between Candy Cane and YunSeong is definitely growing on me, guys." Tazz nodded.
Meanwhile, as Agent 47 was busy being the latest pain magnet, the camera shifted over to Phoenix Wright as he was busy punching away towards Rock Howard's face, while Rock found himself tied helplessly to the ropes.
"Hey, Phoenix is getting back into this match." The King pointed out.
JR nodded before saying, "Definitely shows how much fight this young lawyer's got."
"Really, because the only fighting moves this guy's got is shouting "Objection" and "Hold it" all the time." Tazz replied.
"Why would you think that, Tazz?" Cole said to the ECW legend.
Tazz then shrugged out by saying, "I've been playing Ultimate Marvel Vs. Capcom 3."
"I should've guessed." Cole replied with his eyes rolled.
After Rock became dazed and confused from those shots, Phoenix Wright began to wind his arms over and over again, planning to put out a big clothesline just to put Rock over the rope and onto the floor.
But before he could get a chance to, Jack Carver came running and drop-kicked Phoenix Wright right in the back of the head, making the lawyer tumbling towards Rock. The student of Terry Bogard saw what was going on and launched Phoenix over the ropes with a big back body drop, sending Phoenix all the way down to the floor, eliminating him from the match!
"Welp, case closed for Phoenix Wright!" Tazz chuckled.
"You're right, Tazz!" Cole nodded to Tazz, "Phoenix Wright is done for the night!"
53rd Elimination: Phoenix Wright; Eliminated by: Rock Howard and Jack Carver; Duration: 11:32
After Phoenix Wright left ringside feeling quite disappointed from his elimination, Duke Nukem was busy taking care of Squall Leonhart the hard way by trapping the ravenous youngster in a vicious Full Nelson hold. It would only continue to get worse for Squall once Duke decided to take the hold he got Squall in and bashed the kid's head around the lower left turnbuckle in a 10-count Full Nelson Turnbuckle Smash.
"Oh, this ain't looking good for Squall right now." JR shook his head.
"What's not looking good, JR? That little barrage he's suffering or the headaches he's receiving from that barrage?" The King asked JR.
The Oklahoman then nodded as he said, "I'm pretty sure it's probably both!"
With Squall looking dazed as ever, Duke Nukem used every part of his strength to drop Squall to the mat with a big Dragon Suplex!
"Duke Nukem with a big Dragon Suplex!" Cole exclaimed.
Tazz chuckled before saying, "If Squall keeps getting hit in the head like this, he may audition to be the next bobblehead!"
Meanwhile, as Squall became laid out in a daze, the rest of the crowd and camera all shifted over to the titantron, where the countdown clock had lit up towards the stage, therefore revealing the next entrant to enter the Rumble match.
"Well, fans, it's about time we find out who's been drawn #85 in this Royal Rumble match!" J.R. pointed out.
The King then rubbed his hands in anticipation as he said, "Whoever's coming out next is definitely gonna have a night to themselves!"
10… 9… 8… 7… 6… 5… 4… 3… 2… 1… *BZZT!*
Entrant #85: Aisha (Rumble Roses)
After the buzzer sounded off once more, the song "Fate" by Aisha began to play fullblast all across the stadium as a spotlight began to shine on three women, mostly the one in the middle knowing she had blonde hair, brown skin, platinum white top, tight white jeans, white boots, black elbow pads and black gloves while the two women behind her were wearing a white bra, black shorts, black boots and sporting black hats therefore acting like backup dancers.
The three women immediately started to dance to the music by first shaking their legs before moving their hips all around, letting the fans sitting at ringside be enchanted by their entire dance. Heck, even The King himself was finding this beat kinda catchy.
"I don't know how I can get more lucky than this!" The King smirked over to Cole, "I'm thinking this Rumble's about to get bootylicious!"
"It'll be even more than that, now that Aisha from "Rumble Roses" is in this Royal Rumble match!" JR exclaimed.
"The woman is also one of the best female wrestlers in the gaming world, gentlemen." Cole explained, "Aisha is a 7 time Rumble Roses champion and is a current tag team champion with her long time friend and rival Dixie Clements."
Tazz raised his eyebrow and said, "Hey, she's kinda like that Beyonce chick, right?"
"Of course she is!" The King replied to Tazz, "Please tell me this ain't your first time seeing her!"
"Calm down, I'm just saying Aisha reminds me of Beyonce!" Tazz said, defending himself in front of The King, "Of course I already know who she is! What do you think am I, stupid?!"
"YES!" Cole, JR and King said, shouting angrily to Tazz.
Aisha took that long dance down the aisle while the backup dancers behind her continued to dance on the stage itself.
She made it all the way down ringside where Eric Sparrow, who was barely walking on his own due to the nasty barbed-wire table spot he suffered, ended up standing in Aisha's way. The dancer didn't like this one bit though as he kicked Eric Sparrow square in the balls, forcing him to hit the ringside floor once more!
"Oh, come on!" Tazz whined.
"Hey, don't blame Aisha for this, Tazz." JR said to Tazz, "It's Sparrow's fault he got in the way!"
"Hey it's not his fault that the EMT's wouldn't help him!" The King said, also whining as well.
"He brought it on himself for opening his big mouth, King!" Cole replied, "Whether you or Tazz wanna accept it or not, that's the truth."
After she finally got Eric out of the way, she got right up on the apron where Sonya Blade tried her best to knock her right off. Aisha used some quick thinking and nailed Sonya Blade with a shoulder thrust right to the ribs, all before doing an amazing handstand on the apron ropes. She then grabbed Sonya's neck using her legs and flipped her all around, nailing a big Vaulting Headscissor Takedown!
"Well, that's one way to enter the ring!" Tazz pointed out.
"Nice impressive move by Aisha!" Cole nodded before adding, "I bet you didn't know this, Tazz, but did you know that she recently bought herself a big mansion in Los Angeles that's right near to the place that John Morrison lives? They're actually neighbors."
"What?" The King replied in awe. "Are you serious, Cole?"
"It was on TMZ." Cole replied back to The King.
"I haven't watched that show in years!" Tazz exclaimed.
"You don't really pay attention to any of the news, Tazz!" JR said, rolling his eyes.
As Tazz continued to ignore JR, Sonya was trying to get her senses back together at the turnbuckles, only for Aisha to come running after her and hitting her with a vicious corner dropkick right to the face!
"Oh, that got her really good!" Cole exclaimed as well.
"No doubt Sonya didn't see that coming." The King shook his head.
Meanwhile, at another part of the ring, Mai Shiranui was continuing her momentum in the match by hitting a snapmare on Sub-Zero, followed with a running penalty kick and ending with a standing double stomp!
"Mai hitting a tremendous combo all over the Lin Kuei grandmaster!" JR pointed out.
Tazz raised his eyebrow as he asked JR, "Quick question, JR, is Lynne Quay a real person?"
"I got no idea why you're asking me that…" JR shook his head.
"Just ignore him, JR." Cole said to JR, referring to Tazz, "It's worthless to explain to him why."
Mai continued to pump the crowd up even more, only for that momentum to cut completely short when Trish snuck up from behind and flipped Mai right over with a reverse hurricanrana!
"WHOA!" The King shouted.
"No kidding, King!" JR nodded to the King, "Trish planted Mai good with that poison-rana!"
That poison-rana got Mai Shiranui dazed and confused enough for Trish to attempt to eliminate her by clotheslining her over the top rope, only for Mai to hang onto the ropes just in the nick of time.
"Mai Shiranui is- no wait a minute!" Cole cut himself off.
"Nope, she's still hanging in there, Cole!" Tazz shook his head.
The King wiped his head in relief, "Good, I don't know how well I'd take if she was gone!"
Mai took a rest in the apron a little bit before she whistled right over to Trish, who turned right around to face the kunoichi in her direction. With Trish in her sights, Mai immediately front-flipped back into the ring and blasted Trish with a hard Buckshot Lariat!
"OUCH!" Tazz shrieked a little.
"She dadgummed blasted her right in the face with that Buckshot Lariat!" JR pointed out.
Tazz then raised his eyebrow as he said, "I wonder where Mai learned that from?"
"I would say from "Hangman" Adam Page, Tazz!" Cole replied, "No doubt he's watching with a smile on his face."
Trish found himself incapaciated long enough for the busty ninja to pick the blonde devil hunter right back up on her feet and throw her over the top rope and right onto the floor, therefore eliminating Trish from the Rumble entirely to a mixed reaction (which was mostly cheers from the male side).
"Dang it, another set of puppies are gone!" The King cried out.
"Sorry you're disappointed, King, but those are the rules of the Rumble, like it or not!" JR said to the King, "And consider that a first elimination for Mai Shiranui herself!"
54th Elimination: Trish; Eliminated by: Mai Shiranui; Duration: 43:34
Trish then left ringside in defeat, but for her to run right into Eric Sparrow again, who was attempting to get up from that nut kick that Aisha had given her earlier.
Not pleased with the way Eric had been acting, Trish immediately grabbed him right by the head and nailed him to the floor with a big DDT!
"Oh no, come on Trish!" Tazz whined.
"Like I said earlier, Tazz!" Cole replied, "Eric Sparrow brought it all on himself."
"Still, she could show a little sympathy!" The King groaned out in return.
"Let's be honest, nobody here wants to give him sympathy AT ALL!" JR said, shaking his head to the King.
After Trish finally left ringside though, the camera shifted back to the ring where Jin Kazama got Marth up in an Oklahoma Slam position. Instead of slamming him through the mat, Jin slammed Marth's face right into the turnbuckle all before the son of Kazuya Mishima ran back to the ropes and back again hoping to catch Marth by surprise with a running big boot. Marth immediately ducked down and ran to the ropes himself, all before rebounding with a big spear right to Jin!
"Oh, Marth got him good!" The King exclaimed.
"That spear's gotta be tough to swallow for someone like Jin!" JR pointed out close-up.
With Jin literally knocked out from the spear itself, the crowd all converged themselves as they looked at the Rumble clock, basically waiting in anticipation as they saw that clock ticking down to the next entrant of the match.
"We're still going to the limit guys!" Tazz shouted before replying, "Just who on earth's gonna be #86?"
10… 9… 8… 7… 6… 5… 4… 3… 2… 1… *BZZT!*
Entrant #86: Shantae
Once the Rumble buzzer blared out yet again, a Bollywood rap song began to play from the soundsystem itself as a sexy, curvaceous woman with a red top, familiar purple ponytail and red genie pants strutted through the curtain, only to be greeted and cheered at from a lot of male fans sitting at ringside. They cheered even more loudly as Shantae started to tease her fans with a mesmerizing belly dance, all of which hypnotized both Jerry Lawler and Tazz altogether.
"Oh, luck be our lady tonight!" The King smirked, "We're getting more puppies!"
"More like fine double whoppers, King!" Tazz smirked as well, referring to her hips.
"Well, either way you look at it, Shantae has arrived as the 86th entrant for the Video Game All-Star Royal Rumble!" JR exclaimed.
"And no doubt, she'll use her curves and her ponytail to good use here in this match!" Cole nodded.
Right after she was finished bellydancing for the fans, Shantae took a quick dash down the aisle before finally getting inside the ring, wasting no time superkicking D-Va right in the gut.
"Oh, right by the fruit basket!" Tazz pointed out.
Shantae wasn't quite done yet though as the vivacious purple-haired bellydancer trapped D-Va with a wristlock, all before she ran up the upper right turnbuckle and flipped her body around, sending D-Va flying with a wristlock springboard arm drag!
"Impressive arm drag courtesy of Shantae!" Cole replied.
"Hey, is it too late to change my pick, guys?" Tazz said to his broadcast partners.
"I have no idea, Tazz!" JR said, rolling his eyes.
Tazz groaned to JR before saying, "Yikes, you didn't need to get all snarky about it…"
Shantae continued to bellydance even more for the excited fans, all before she turned around to get chopped in the chest by Lightning, therefore stopping her momentum for now.
"Aw man, why did she have to ruin it?!" The King sighed disappointingly.
"Hey, what can I say, King? It's the Rumble!" JR said to King.
Lightning continued to chop her around the chest repeatedly until Shantae found herself a bit groggy around the ropes. The pink-haired swordswoman then proceeded to whip the bellydancer straight to the other ropes, but only Shantae to counterwhip Lightning right back. And when Lightning ran back to her, Shantae decided to strike back by using her own butt to hit Lightning right in the face!
"Whoa, talk about a Rear View!" Tazz said, obviously caught by surprise.
"And Shantae made sure she gave every part of that view to Lightning!" Cole nodded.
JR nodded as well saying, "You gotta wonder if she's been watching a lot of those Naomi matches as of late?"
"She probably has for sure!" Tazz nodded.
Meanwhile, at another part of the ring, the camera was shifting over to Sonya Blade, who right now had Aisha trapped in a full nelson hold while at the same time shouting over to Johnny Cage trying to get some help.
"Damn it, Johnny, where the hell are you?!" Sonya shouted, "I want you to take this free shot!"
Unfortunately for her, Johnny wasn't even paying attention to his ex-wife, knowing that his entire body was busy getting shoved inside a now-empty trash can thanks to Duke Nukem.
"Well, so much for getting help!" Tazz groaned.
"Come on Duke, don't do this to Johnny Cage." The King complained, begging Duke not to humiliate the actor like this.
"Too late, King, your calls probably aren't gonna help him anyway!" JR shook his head.
The King then groaned to JR saying, "This isn't fair to Cage at all!"
"Anything goes in the Royal Rumble, King!" Cole explained.
Sonya attempted to hang onto Aisha as long as she could, but unfortunately, she couldn't as the dancer slipped down from Sonya's grip before catching her with a victory roll, all ending with a big double stomp right to the chest!
"Whoa, impressive counter by Aisha!" Tazz pointed out.
"Aisha using Sonya as a human 'Welcome Home' mat right there!" JR also pointed out.
Sonya held onto her chest in major pain, all before Aisha surprised her with a Codebreaker right to the face. The impact proved to be so strong that it sent Sonya's entire momentum and body to go over the top rope and onto the floor, eliminating her to a bunch of cheers!
"Oh, no way!" The King yelped in surprise.
"Oh, yes way, King!" Cole nodded, "What an upset by Aisha!"
"I can't believe she eliminated one of the popular video game females there ever is!" Tazz exclaimed before saying, "Man, I'm in shock!"
"Indeed, Tazz!" JR nodded as well, "Consider that Aisha's first elimination for this match!"
55th Elimination: Sonya Blade; Eliminated by: Aisha; Duration: 40:34
Sonya soon picked herself off and left ringside looking a little frustrated, mostly because she couldn't even get help from her own ex-husband. Even the commentators noticed the agitated, grumpy look on her face and caught wind of it right away.
"Ouch, well that's a sore sport!" The King chuckled.
"I can tell Johnny's getting a boot to the yambags after this is over." Tazz chuckled as well.
Cole nodded to Tazz before explaining, "Even if he does explain the situation he was in, Sonya probably won't wanna hear it."
"Now I really hope that Johnny Cage wins this Rumble." The King stated, "Nothing's worth getting kicked in the little Cages!"
After Sonya left, the camera moved back to the ring where Hong YunSeong grabbed Cloud Strife right by the neck, only to drive him right down the mat with a big Twist of Fate. While that was happening though, the camera also got a look at Candy Cane, who right now was climbing up the top rope, looking to pull off an aerial attack on the spiky-haired swordsman himself.
"There we go, Twist of Fate!" JR exclaimed.
"Indeed," Tazz nodded before replying, "But I don't think the worst is over for Cloud just yet!"
"Candy Cane's going up top, that is a very dangerous position she's putting herself in." Cole mentioned.
"No kidding, she's risking elimination this way!" The King nodded, fearing the worst for the rebellious schoolgirl.
Candy Cane looked to pull off a Swanton Bomb all over Cloud, but before she was looking to take off for that attempt, Dorothea whipped Blaze Fielding right to the ropes, which forced Candy to fall down and crashland right down to the mat painfully!
"OH GOSH!" JR yelped.
"Well, that didn't tickle!" Tazz shook his head with a chuckle.
"I think that hurt worse than it tickled, Tazz." Cole nodded, agreeing with Tazz.
While the schoolgirl withered in intense pain from that landing, the crowd all turned to the stage where right now, the countdown clock was lighting up to reveal the next entrant that was about to enter this matchup right now.
"Looks like we're about to witness number 87 coming in!" The King exclaimed, "Who's it gonna be?"
10… 9… 8… 7… 6… 5… 4… 3… 2… 1… *BZZT!*
Entrant #87: Falco Lombardi (StarFox)
As the buzzer continued to blast all throughout Qualcomm Stadium, "Danger Zone" by Kenny Loggins played out around the soundsystem as a blue jay with red pupils, orange beak, red jumpsuit and white jacket came out through the curtain and started to run down the aisle, much to an incredible response from this San Diego crowd.
"Well, here's comes a fast one comin', Cole!" Tazz exclaimed.
"And he might as well come in hot because Falco Lombardi from StarFox has entered #87 in this match!" JR pointed out.
"I'm loving this guy so far, and he hasn't quite entered the ring yet!" The King exclaimed.
Before he could even enter the ring however, Falco looked right under the ring, hoping to look for a weapon to use in the match.
Marshall Law immediately saw what was going on and attempted to grab Falco by the jacket. But once he did though, Falco popped up and pistol-whipped him with a paintball gun!
"Paintball gun! Falco's got a paintball gun!" Cole pointed out as well.
Tazz raised his eyebrow before saying, "Wait a minute, isn't having a gun in the match against the rules?"
"It's perfectly fine as long as it's a paintball gun and nothing else!" JR nodded.
"Eh, works enough for me." Tazz replied, shrugging it out.
The martial artist was now reeling from the hit, which gave Falco enough time to enter the ring and adjust his paintball gun.
Once Law turned right around though, Falco fired away and got Marshall right by the left leg, right arm and a good portion of his right thigh.
"Whoa, perfect shot!" The King said, being impressed by Falco's accuracy.
"I wonder what this guy would do against Erron Black in a shootout?" Tazz asked JR.
"Probably wouldn't know, King!" JR shrugged back, "But either way, Falco's on a roll!"
Falco looked for more targets to go shoot at all before Jack Carver attempted to wrest that paintball gun away from the bluejay himself.
Thankfully, Falco made sure it didn't happen once he kicked Jack right by the leg and shot his paintballs towards Jack's entire thighs, all before pistol-whipping Jack right in the face.
"I think Falco's in a pistol-whipping kind of mood right here!" Tazz exclaimed.
"Jack tried to get that gun away from him, and looked what happened!" Cole pointed out.
Meanwhile, as Falco continued to build some momentum in this matchup (like every other contestant was doing when they first entered), the camera shifted to another part of the ring where Rouge The Bat was busy carrying Cammy White right on her shoulders.
"Oh man, is she gonna throw her out?" The King asked his partners.
His broadcast partners couldn't give him an answer, but Rouge The Bat sure did once she put Cammy down for a big powerslam!
"Guess you were wrong on that one!" Cole said to The King.
"Rouge got her down with that powerslam," JR replied before shaking his head, "But I don't think Rouge seems to be quite done with her!"
Unsatisfied with the damage she gave to Cammy, Rouge indeed wasn't done with her.
The thieving jewel thief then proceeded to climb up the top rope, only to realize that she foolishly had her back turned on herself.
It was the kind of situation that Sophitia Alexandra herself needed to push Rouge right off the top rope and all the way down to the floor, crashlanding all the way down to elimination!
"Oh no!" The King cried out.
"Looks like her heist is over, King!" JR pointed out in return.
"And it was all thanks to Sophitia herself!" Tazz nodded, "Chalk one up for the Greeks!"
56th Elimination: Rouge the Bat; Eliminated by: Sophitia Alexandra; Duration: 23:40
Sophitia took her sweet time to process herself, only to see she had her guard down from behind as Sub-Zero came in and trapped the blonde-haired swordswoman with a Full Nelson. The Lin Kuei Grandmaster shook her all around as a way to wring her entire neck and shoulders in the process, which worked considering that it was now hurting her.
"Sub-Zero locks in that Full Nelson, Cole!" Tazz exclaimed.
"Submissions once again don't count, but no doubt a move like that will make Sophitia dazed and confused regardless!" Cole exclaimed also.
Once he felt Sophitia go a little numb, Sub-Zero decided to capitalize by flipping Sophitia over to the mat with a vicious Dragon Suplex!
"Oh my!" JR yelped.
"He nearly came this close to dropping on her neck!" The King shrieked a little.
As Sophitia clutched the back of her neck in total pain, the crowd yet again stood up out of their seats and looked toward the titantron in anticipation of the next entrant that was now about to appear.
"The next entrant's about to appear soon, fellas." Tazz replied to his partners, "Man, does this have me so excited?"
10… 9… 8… 7… 6… 5… 4… 3… 2… 1… *BZZT!*
Entrant #88: Reiko Hinomoto (Rumble Roses)
After the buzzer was sounded off for perhaps the 87th time, the song "Look to The Sky" by Sota Fujimori feat. Yoshiko started playing out while at the same time, a woman with a medium brown bobcut and dressed in a red top complete with red shorts, red boots, red gloves and red neck belt came out to another big pop from the crowd. But she wasn't quite alone though as she came out waving the Japanese flag, therefore being proud to fight for the country she was representing today.
"I think we got another case of puppies heading down our way!" The King said in a thrilling tone.
JR then rolled his eyes before saying to The King, "You think she may be all beauty, King, but our next entrant coming out right now is gonna prove she's all 100% brawn!"
"And we'll see how Reiko Hinomoto from Rumble Roses will fare out in this Rumble match!" Cole pointed out.
Michael Cole was definitely gonna get his answer the second that Reiko finally stepped inside the ring. She ended up ducking a clothesline from Byleth, only for Reiko to grab the professor from behind and send him driving down to the mat with a German suplex!
"Reiko with that big German!" Tazz exclaimed.
"I don't think she's quite done with him, Tazz!" Cole pointed out as he shook his head.
Reiko wasn't quite done yet with Byleth though as she then picked him up with another German suplex. And then another as she also dropped him with a third German, Kurt Angle-style.
"I think Reiko's giving Byleth a first-class trip to Suplex City!" The King pointed out.
"No kidding!" JR exclaimed before saying, "At this point, Byleth's wishing he'd be back at Gronder Field right now!"
Reiko looked to put away Byleth for another German Suplex, only to cut herself off once she saw Rock Howard trying to approach her. Reiko put her smarts to good use by getting behind Rock and dropping him with a Dragon Suplex!
"Oh no Rock, what the hell were you thinking!?" Tazz shook his head.
"He's probably regretting crossing paths with Reiko!" Cole said to Tazz.
Once again, Reiko wasn't quite finished with her barrage of suplexes. She got Rock back up again only to flip him over with yet another Dragon Suplex before hitting another one repeatedly much to the delight of fans.
"Yet another Dragon Suplex from Reiko!" JR exclaimed.
"Please tell me she's not gonna keep doing this for an entire minute!" The King shook his head from amazement.
Cole then nodded to King as he said, "Like it or not, King, that's what she plans to do!"
Knowing that Rock had suffered enough suplexes, Reiko then pushed him away and focused on the new target she was staring at: Krystal.
The female blue fox tried to get her hands on Reiko with a big clothesline, but the Zero-Two fighter thought one step ahead by ducking down and hitting Krystal from behind, all before lifting her up and dropping Krystal down with a vicious Tiger Suplex!
"Now she got her with a Tiger Suplex!" Tazz exclaimed.
"Reiko Hinomoto is pulling out quite the tri-fecta here tonight!" JR exclaimed as well, being quite captivated by Reiko's performance.
She wouldn't be quite done yet though as Reiko then picked up Krystal with another Tiger Suplex. Then, just like her series of suplexes she pulled off earlier, Reiko then dropped Krystal to the mat with a third Tiger Suplex, bringing the entire San Diego crowd to their feet!
"And one more!" Cole shouted.
"I think Reiko just transformed herself into some kind of suplex twister!" Tazz replied, "You think we can hire that Bill Paxton guy as a storm team?"
Reiko looked to create more momentum as she could, but was finally stopped when she turned around to eat a bicycle kick from Dorothea.
Well, that's what Dorothea would have thought though when Reiko caught her foot just by the nick of time. That was more than enough for Reiko to keep her momentum intact.
"Whoa, that was a close call!" The King sighed in relief.
"She definitely caught Dorothea at the right time!" Cole nodded out.
Reiko managed to make Dorothea hop on her foot for a good while before she spun the songstress all around and fell into a Death Valley Driver position. The fighter from Japan then proceeded to spin Dorothea all around the ring before dropping her with a vicious TKO!
"There it is, TKO!" JR pointed out.
"She definitely put that songbird down for sure!" Tazz nodded.
As Dorothea found herself quite dazed in pain, the entire crowd had once again looked to the stage for the thousandth time tonight and stared up to the Rumble clock, which was now ticking down to the next entrant of the match.
"We're just about getting close to the #100 mark, but right now, let's see who's drawn #89 in this match!" The King said, pointing right to the curtain.
10… 9… 8… 7… 6… 5… 4… 3… 2… 1… *BZZT!*
Entrant #89: Kyo Kusanagi (The King of Fighters)
As soon as that Rumble buzzer hit, the crowd was treated to the sounds of "Burn" by Deep Purple playing all across Qualcomm Stadium as a man dressed in a black high school uniform with his trademark Kusanagi gloves and white headband came out to a big standing ovation from his fans, who were busy chanting Kyo's name repeatedly as a way to get him pumped.
"Hey, now that we've got a Queen of Fighters, we're about to get the King of Fighters as well!" Tazz replied.
"And coming in right now is the main man of the King of Fighters franchise, Kyo Kusanagi!" JR exclaimed.
The King let out a heartened chuckle before saying, "I'm glad Iori isn't in the same ring as him right now. These two would have tore this ring up to shreds!"
"Well, it kinda looks like Kyo's got nothing to worry about now!" JR nodded in relief.
Once Kyo finally got inside the ring though, he wasted no time going after his first target, which just happened to be Soma Cruz. The ex-high schooler managed to catch the silver-haired vampire hunter with a big four-hit left hook combo before he looked at his own hand and gave him a hard open-handed haymaker straight into his jaw.
"Look at Kyo go!" JR exclaimed.
"Reminds us of a certain Brahma Bull we all know!" Tazz pointed out, referring to The Rock.
Kyo wouldn't be quite finished with Soma though as he then got him up, only to irish whip Soma right to the ropes and nail him with a vicious Brahma Bull Spinebuster!
"Kyo with that hard spinebuster!" Cole exclaimed.
"This dude's literally takin' Soma to school there!" JR exclaimed as well.
Knowing that the spinebuster itself was enough to take Soma down, Kyo immediately got the vampire hunter up on his feet and chucked him over the top rope and onto the floor, eliminating him to a bunch of cheers from the crowd.
"And out goes Soma, Cole!" Tazz exclaimed.
"Just like that, Kyo Kusanagi picks up his first elimination of the night!" Cole replied.
57th Elimination: Soma Cruz; Eliminated by: Kyo Kusanagi; Duration: 38:19
As Soma Cruz slowly exited ringside in defeat, Kyo was soon met with a couple of fist shots courtesy of Squall Leonhart. The ravenous swordsman then proceeded to whip Kyo right to the ropes, only for Kyo to reverse with a counterwhip, sending Squall running instead. When he came back though, Kyo managed to put him down by catching him with a big Rock Bottom!
"No way, Kyo with the Rock Bottom!" The King shrieked happily.
"He's definitely living up that "King of Fighters" title, King!" JR exclaimed, "And I got a good feeling he's just getting started!"
Meanwhile, as Kyo continued to build momentum in this match, Ellie was starting to pick up the pace as she crawled up on Duke Nukem's shoulders and trapped Duke with a big sleeperhold, in an attempt to slow him down. It didn't quite slow him down as Ellie wanted to and such, but it did actually make Duke run around the ring in shoulders while attempting to shake his upper body back and forth in attempt to get Ellie off of him.
"Look at that, Duke's giving Ellie a piggy-back ride!" Tazz said, chuckling his ass off.
"I don't think this is no ride, Tazz!" JR shook his head as he pointed out, "I think he's trying to get her off of him!"
"No kidding, I think she's about the biggest spider monkey I've ever seen!" The King chuckled as well.
Ellie managed to lock in that hold for a good 20 seconds before both she and Duke looked up to see Kitana flying off the top rope. Without any warning, the princess of Edenia came down on both Ellie and Duke, nailing both of them with a Top Rope Double Codebreaker that sent the fans out of their seat!
"Oh my gawd!" JR yelped.
"Please tell me I didn't see that!" Tazz shook his head.
"I think we all did, Tazz!" Cole nodded, "Kitana with a brilliant double Codebreaker off the top!"
"Yeah, and I still can't believe Ellie held onto Duke as well!" The King nodded.
The move in fact didn't knock Ellie out entirely, but it was more than enough to get her dazed long enough for Kitana to pick Ellie up on her feet and throw her over the top rope. Thankfully, Ellie didn't hit the floor though as she hung onto the ropes for safety, leaving her safe from elimination.
"Whoa, that was a close one for Ellie!" Tazz sighed in relief.
"She's still alive for the moment!" JR exclaimed.
Kitana saw that Ellie was still stranded on the apron, which didn't take too kindly with her as she attempted to knock her out with a haymaker, only for Ellie to counter with a haymaker of her own. But that proved to be a deadly mistake for her though as Kitana countered back with a big Enzugiri that knocked Ellie off the apron and onto the floor, eliminating the zombie hunter from the match!
"Well, her run in the Rumble is dead as far as I'm concerned." The King snickered over to JR.
"No doubt Ellie's headed for the showers." Cole nodded.
58th Elimination: Ellie; Eliminated by: Kitana; Duration: 17:35
As Ellie took her departure from ringside, Kitana was left to take a little bit of a breather at the ropes, only to have it cut short by Agent 47, who snuck in behind her and locked the princess of Edenia with a vicious Tazzmission! Kitana found herself gagged and begging for air as her neck and shoulder joints started to crunch together painfully, leaving the submission hold to be too painful for Kitana to endure.
"There goes Agent 47 with the Tazzmission!" JR shrieked out loudly.
"Ah, the move I made famous back in ECW!" Tazz chuckled yet again, "Good times, I tell ya."
"I'm not sure if Kitana shares your opinion though, Tazz." Cole pointed out, "She's basically fighting for her life here!"
"Indeed, those hand-to-hand skills as an assassin are paying off for Agent 47 here tonight!" The King nodded.
Meanwhile, as Agent 47 continued to choke the life out of Kitana endlessly, the crowd all stood out of their seats and saw the Rumble clock light up once again, therefore awaiting the next entrant's arrival in the Rumble match.
"Anyway, we're on our way to find out who's the 90th entrant in the Rumble match!" JR exclaimed, "Who's it gonna be?"
10… 9… 8… 7… 6… 5… 4… 3… 2… 1… *BZZT!*
Entrant #90: Raven (Tekken)
After the buzzer sounded off full-blast, the San Diego crowd were all treated to the sound of "Wake Up Dead" by Megadeth blasting all throughout the stadium, which would soon be followed by the appearance of a well-muscled man with black skin, blonde hair, sunglasses and a sleeveless black ninja outfit. However, instead of appearing on the stage right through the curtain, the spotlight was shown around the audience where the next entrant was coming all the way down the stands!
"Whoa, where did that guy come from?!" Tazz said, yelping out of his seat.
"That ain't no ordinary guy, Tazz!" JR shook his head in return, "That's Raven from the Tekken series entering the Rumble match at #90!"
"It seems like he wants to make his entrance his own way!" Cole exclaimed.
"I can tell he's gonna be a major threat!" The King nodded.
After he got over the barricade, Raven immediately entered the ring by climbing up the top rope and leaping off, crashing down on both Agent 47 and Kitana with an epic Frog Splash!
"Whoa, two for the friggin' price of one!" Tazz smirked.
"No kidding!" The King nodded, "That's one way for Kitana to break out of the Tazz-Mission!"
"Yeah, but I think Kitana may have suffered worse from the Frog Splash than it did Agent 47!" Cole nodded as well.
Raven wouldn't be quite done though as he then caught a superkick from Crash Bandicoot, leaving him hopping around on one foot. Although not for long as Raven pulled Crash toward him and countered big with an exploder suplex!
"Exploder Suplex from this... um, what kind of guy is he?" Tazz asked JR.
"I think he's an ninja/agent." JR replied.
The King smirked before saying, "Kinda looks like a combo between Blade and Hayabusa from Ninja Gaiden."
"That's an interesting analogy if I heard one." JR replied yet again.
Meanwhile, as Raven looked for more targets to fight, the camera scrolled over to outside of the ring where Johnny Cage was taking a breather after rolling himself under the ropes, trying to get away from Byleth himself. At the middle of his break though, Johnny took the time to search under the apron, only to pull out a 15-foot high ladder, much to the excitement of the fans watching at ringside.
"Oh boy, I don't want to know where this is heading..." The King said, fearing the worst for Cage.
"Cage willing to pull out all of the stops here in this match by any means necessary!" Tazz exclaimed.
Cage then proceeded to get the ladder in the ring, but only for Mai Shiranui to come running in and slide her body through the rope, hitting the actor right in the face with a Wrecking Ball Dropkick!
"Dang it, not in the moneymaker again!" The King gulped in horror.
"I'm afraid so, King!" Cole nodded, "Cage is definitely not catching a break at all!"
Realizing that she was still hanging on to the ropes, Mai decided to flip her body right back into the ring, only to find Chris Redfield standing right before her. The busty kunoichi in red didn't find him to be a problem as she wrapped her feet right around Chris's neck and flipped him around with a tilt-o-whirl headscissors, leaving him hanging on the second rope.
"Nice move from Mai right there!" JR pointed out.
"Can't believe Chris fell for that!" Tazz replied before realizing the position Chris was suddenly in, "But look at that, JR! I think Mai may be looking to dial it up!"
Tazz was right on the dot. Mai soon realized Chris became groggy right on the second rope, which became the perfect position for Mai to run right to the ropes and back again, hitting the former S.T.A.R.S. officer with a big Tiger Feint Kick aka 619!
"Dial it up... 619!" Cole shouted loudly.
But that wasn't quite over for Chris yet as the move caused by Mai caused Chris to stumble towards Kyo, who then replied with yet another Rock Bottom to the fallen officer!
"Kyo with yet another Rock Bottom!" JR shouted also.
"Yikes, and to think Cage wasn't catching a break himself!" The King yelped a little.
Meanwhile, as the action continued full-blast though, one of the backstage producers rushed right to J.R. and immediately whispered right in his ear. The Oklahoman found himself gasping in full suspense, which suddenly alarmed him deep down to the point where he suddenly got that announcement.
After the producer left, J.R. suddenly reminded his partners, "Ladies and gentleman, I think there seems to be something going on in the back! Cameramen, can you switch over there?"
From there, the camera suddenly switched to backstage where they scrolled up to see EMT's and backstage personnel circle around what seemed to be an unconscious woman in blue hair and decked out in darkened blackish-blue armor. She found herself groaning and dazed around in intensive pain, which finally managed to catch the attention of all commentators sitting at ringside, knowing who the identity of this unconscious woman was.
Tazz suddenly pointed out, "Wait a minute, that's..."
"That's Lucina from the Fire Emblem series!" Cole replied, finishing Tazz's statement.
"I think she's been attacked from backstage!" J.R. guessed out correctly.
"Duh, you think, JR?" Tazz rolled his eyes, "Somebody must've put a hit on her!"
"I don't think she's gonna compete in the Rumble with a condition like that!" The King shook his head regrettably.
It didn't take too long for the event's host, Kenny Omega, to come running at the scene himself and analyzed the damage of what happened involving Lucina. He went down on his knee and waved his hand toward Lucina's face in response to see if she was gonna respond. Unfortunately for him, Lucina looked too dazed, confused and unconscious to respond back to Omega, which forced him to groan in defeat.
"Did anyone know what the hell happened to her?!" Kenny asked the medics.
"We don't know," One of the medics (who looked like Uncle Joey from Full House) shrugged right back to Omega, "All we know is that we found her like this."
"Damn, looks like she won't be able to compete then." Omega shook his head to himself before asking the medics, "You all keep checking on her. I'll find someone in the back who can be her replacement."
As Kenny Omega walked out of the backstage area, the camera turned back to the ring where the action still continued from here. At the same time though, the crowd also turned to the stage once more and saw the Rumble clock light up once again for the next Rumble entrant to come right out for the match.
"What a darn shame for Lucina, having her Rumble opportunity robbed like this." Tazz groaned in defeat.
"But I'm pretty sure there more to come for the rest of the competitors left to enter!" Cole nodded over to Tazz, "Right now, we're gonna see who has entered #91 in this Video Game All-Star Royal Rumble!"
To be continued...

Now that the stats are out of the way, here are the burning questions:
Will I go with this?
Will I go with that?
Will it all make sense?
The questions will be answered in the next chapter, so make sure you read, review and give us some feedback if you wish, nothing too harsh and rude because I've been dealing with a trolling dumbass in one of my Rumble fics (I'm looking at you ShoVermilion, you dumpster fire). But respective criticism is welcome! Until next time, peace out mother F-ers.
