Chapter 3: One Giant Problem
As the bell rang, Wario managed to walk over to Cole, who wasn't even moving an inch.
Despite being towered by someone bigger than him, Wario managed to taunt him, much to Cole's annoyance.
Wario: You think you are-a taller than me? You can't even fight your way out of a paper mushroom! BWAHAHAHA!
Jerry Lawler: Uh-oh, bad move Wario!
JBL: Just get out of there, Wario! Don't try to piss him off.
Unfortunately for Wario, Cole was pissed off to the bone.
Because of that, he started yanking Wario's hat and entire head combined, squeezing it like a vice grip. That brought such sweet satisfaction to the entire Miami crowd. They couldn't wait to see Cole push Wario around like a sack of potatoes.
Michael Cole: I definitely don't wanna be Wario now!
JBL: This isn't right! Wario cant even see with that hat of his around his eyes!
Jerry Lawler: It's the Royal Rumble! Anything can happen.
Having enough squeezing to begin with, Cole pushed Wario to the right turnbuckle.
As Wario was just about to adjust his hat, Cole rushed in and hit the fat oaf with the Helluva Kick [1]!
Jerry Lawler: Cole with the Helluva Kick!
Michael Cole: That hit nearly broke Wario's nose for sure!
JBL: Can someone at least call timeout or call the next entrant?!
Jerry Lawler: Sorry, John. In the Rumble, timeouts don't count!
While Wario was busy recovering from that horrendous Helluva Kick, Cole decided to roll under the ropes, trying to search for something under the apron.
The fans were curious to see what kind of weapon Cole would use on Wario.
JBL: I don't feel good about this at all.
Michael Cole: I think Cole's gonna get adjusted to some hardware, it seems!
After several seconds of searching around, Cole brought out a pair of brass knucks, which he wrapped it around his fist!
Jerry Lawler: He's got the knucks!
JBL: Damn it, this isn't right! I'm telling ya, someone call timeout!
Michael Cole: Did you hear, King? There's no timeouts!
JBL: Well, there needs to be a rule about that!
While Wario was getting back up, Cole got in the ring and started winding his arm, praying that Wario would take the brutal hit.
And as the fat oaf turned around, Cole rushed at him...
...
...
...and decked Wario in the face with the knucks!
Michael Cole: Dear lord, that hurt!
Jerry Lawler: Talk about getting run over by a train! Wario just felt it!
JBL: Someone needs to go in there and take Cole's knucks away!
While ignoring JBL's cries for help, Cole gestured over at Wario to get up, so that he could take some more punishment.
As that was going on, the 10-second clock lit up on the titantron, awaiting entrant number three.
JBL: Finally, it's about time someone helps him. I hope it's Waluigi!
10... 9... 8... 7... 6... 5... 4... 3... 2... 1... *BZZT!*
Entrant #3: Phoenix Wright
As the buzzer sounded, a man with a blue business suit and a hedgehog-styled hair came running down the ramp to lukewarm cheers.
Obviously, in his case, he needed to stop the carnage between Cole and Wario.
JBL: Well, close enough. He ain't Waluigi, but I'll take him!
Jerry Lawler: That's Ace Attorney, Phoenix Wright! Nice to have him in the Rumble!
Michael Cole: We'll see how talented he is in the ring as much as in the courtroom!
As he stepped inside the ring, Phoenix Wright stood in front of Cole MacGrath while Wario (who was trying to recover dearly) watched on.
The ace attorney definitely had a lot of words to say to the ex-bike messenger turned static freak. Suddenly, the lukewarm cheers strangely turned into boos.
Phoenix Wright: *to Cole* Stop! I can't allow you to take this carnage any further! You're hurting a defenseless fat plumber. I beg you now to put those brass knuckles down!
Cole MacGrath: *to Phoenix* Yeah, right. Kiss my ass.
Phoenix Wright: I'm serious. If you want to win, at least give Wario a chance by not making him bleed. Hand them over to me.
JBL: It's about time someone set him straight.
Michael Cole: Phoenix Wright trying to play peacemaker here!
Cole MacGrath couldn't win this argument between him and Phoenix. There was no way that Cole would stoop so low to brutalize Wario even further.
Knowing that he had no choice, Cole was stripped out of his brass knucks and gave him to the ace attorney. For Phoenix Wright, the boos kept on going while Wario sighed in relief.
Phoenix Wright: *to Cole* That's better.
As Wario began getting back up to his feet again, Phoenix Wright took his fist, and clenched onto the brass knuckles, hoping to hit Cole with them. But suddenly...
...
...
...he nailed Wario with the brass knuckles instead, getting cheers from the fans back!
Jerry Lawler: Oh, hello!
Michael Cole: I didn't see that one coming!
JBL: *shouting to Phoenix* Hey, come on! What the hell are you doing, ya porcupine?!
Jerry Lawler: I'm thinking Cole MacGrath isn't the only one wanting to get a piece of Wario here!
That shot was definitely enough to get Wario unconscious.
Looking over to Wario's beaten down body, Cole and Phoenix glared at each other, smirking at enjoyment as an alliance was formed from those two. That of course, brought in more cheers from the crowd.
Jerry Lawler: They're looking to take Wario out! I can see it in their eyes!
JBL: Damn it, I'm not kidding! Someone in the back help Wario out!
It was too late for help now.
The two men lifted up Wario, scooted him to the ropes, and lifted his very lard-y body over the top rope and onto the floor, signaling an elimination to the pleasing fans!
Michael Cole: Welp, Wario's out!
Jerry Lawler: *chuckling* Hard to believe he was the first man in, and now he's the first man out!
JBL: It's not fair! Wario deserves a restart!
Jerry Lawler: *to JBL* Oh, go cry me a river! Wario's out, so deal with it, John!
1st Eliminated: Wario; Eliminated by: Cole MacGrath & Phoenix Wright; Duration: 1:45
With Wario struggling to get up from the floor, Cole and Phoenix shook hands confirming their alliance.
Meanwhile, the countdown clock lit up, bringing in the fourth entrant of the match!
Jerry Lawler: Here comes entrant number 4! I can't wait for this!
10... 9... 8... 7... 6... 5... 4... 3... 2... 1... *BZZT!*
Entrant #4: Tina Armstrong (Dead or Alive)
As the buzzer sounded, a beautiful blonde-haired chick wearing a red stop with star emblems, black hot pants and long flame emblem boots came out.
Much to her appreciation, she got a tremendous applause from the fans, mostly from the male demographic.
Jerry Lawler: All right, we've got some puppies!
Michael Cole: Making her way down is Tina Armstrong from the fighting game, Dead or Alive!
JBL: *smirking* Not a bad sight for sore eyes, let me tell ya!
As the beautiful Tina got on the apron, she noticed Cole and Phoenix going after her.
Realizing this, Tina hopped on the top rope, and launched onto them with a springboard front dropkick!
Michael Cole: What an impressive dropkick!
Kipping up to her feet, Tina started throwing dropkicks all around Cole and Phoenix Wright, just to slow them down. That of course, was working wonders.
And as Phoenix Wright was about to surprise Tina with a clothesline, she ducked down and countered with a quick neckbreaker!
Jerry Lawler: Neckbreaker out of nowhere!
JBL: She's on fire! I may be rooting for her now!
With Phoenix Wright down, Tina decided to focus on Cole MacGrath.
With Cole up on her feet, Tina leaped on his shoulders and sent Cole flying throughout the ring with a hurricanrana!
Michael Cole: Impressive hurricanrana!
JBL: This Tina chick is definitely impressing me, let me tell ya!
Jerry Lawler: So far, she's doing very well against two men!
Tina now had all the momentum from this capacity crowd going through her.
Just to keep this momentum going, she went to the top rope and eyed down a fallen Phoenix Wright like a plate of nachos. With a deep breath, Tina leaped on the top rope with a Frog Splash...
...
...
...but Phoenix moved out of the way, forcing Tina to crashland painfully.
Michael Cole: Oh, and Phoenix moves out of the way!
Jerry Lawler: Right place but definitely at the wrong time!
JBL: She should've slowed down at first, I'll admit that!
However, as Tina was clutching her ribs in pain, Phoenix Wright got to his feet and so did Cole.
The two snuck up behind Tina, getting ready to plan a sneak attack. And as she turned around, Phoenix lifted her up by the legs and Cole grabbed her by the neck, putting Tina down with a Dudley Death Drop!
Jerry Lawler: 3D! They got her with the 3D!
Michael Cole: Tina's in major trouble now!
JBL: Oh no, please don't throw her out like you did with Wario! I wanna see more!
Jerry Lawler: Wow, you're turning into quite a Tina fan, huh?
JBL: I'd bleed for her, okay?!
As Tina wobbled in pain, Cole and Phoenix looked through the entrance way, awaiting the 5th entrant to come from behind the curtain.
Michael Cole: We're about to see entrant #5 in the match!
10... 9... 8... 7... 6... 5... 4... 3... 2... 1... *BZZT!*
Entrant #5: Hugo (Final Fight)
As the buzzer sounded, a 7-foot giant with long black curly hair, pink tanktop, pink jeans and brown boots came through the curtain.
The cheers suddenly turned into boos due to the appearance of this man. He was dangerous and lethal to the core. But what really made him more dangerous and lethal was the fact that his beautiful man-ager, Poison, was with him alongside. This wasn't looking very good for both Cole and Phoenix as Hugo took that long walk down the aisle.
Michael Cole: Oh no...
Jerry Lawler: "Oh no" is right! Look who just entered!
Michael Cole: From "Final Fight", it's Hugo!
JBL: And Poison's with him! Boy, did this Rumble get a whole lot interesting now!
After only 25 seconds of walking down the aisle, Hugo managed to get inside the ring and stare down both men (all except Tina since she was still knocked out from the Dudley Death Drop).
Having this two-on-one faceoff occur, Cole and Phoenix managed to huddle together, thinking of a game plan to take the giant down and out of the Rumble.
Michael Cole: The two men huddling here in this situation.
JBL: Maybe they're wanting to back out of this match.
Jerry Lawler: I highly doubt that, John.
After the huddling was over and done with, both Cole and Phoenix took in a three point stance, planning to target Hugo.
Phoenix Wright took off on his feet, but he was met with a big boot by Hugo.
JBL: Oh! There goes Phoenix Wright!
Michael Cole: What a nasty hit he took!
Cole MacGrath charged hard at the giant, but Hugo grabbed him by the shirt and sent him flying through the turnbuckle.
In addition, Hugo grabbed him by the chest and performed an open chop of him, leaving his hand imprinted on Cole's chest!
Jerry Lawler: Youch! Talk about heartburn!
JBL: That wasn't a pretty sight for Cole to feel!
While Cole MacGrath was left to heal from that hit, Tina recovered long enough to see Hugo's devastation sink in.
So she decided to go up top rope yet again, hoping he'll leap in unsuspected all over Hugo.
Michael Cole: Tina going high-risk again.
JBL: No, don't do it Tina! It's not worth it!
Jerry Lawler: I think she's willing to take that chance herself!
As Hugo turned around, Tina managed to leap in the air with a flying body press!
But her luck turned badly for the second time as Hugo caught her mid-air! Tina was wobbling, trying to break free from Hugo's grasp, but Hugo's grip was too strong for her to handle. Being amused by Hugo's strength, Poison (who was standing outside the ring) commanded the giant to drop her down immediately.
Poison: *shouting to Hugo* Drop her right on her back!
With a smirk, Hugo flew Tina right over his head and down on the canvas with a huge fallaway slam!
Michael Cole: Dear lord, what height!
Jerry Lawler: Tina just flew high like Michael Jordan!
JBL: Yeah, too bad she went flying down like a rock.
All three contestants were all down and out. And Hugo was the only left standing. However, all that was left of him was himself and the choice of boos he was getting.
Suddenly, he looked at the entranceway, seeing the Rumble clock light up. Which meant that the 6th entrant was about to make his way down the aisle. Whoever was next was gonna have a 'huge' fight in his hands.
Jerry Lawler: Here's comes number six! Who can basically stop Hugo?
To be continued next chapter...
Yeah, you might have to wait until next chapter, King! Anyway, here's some stats!
Eliminated: Wario
Still in the ring: Cole MacGrath, Hugo, Phoenix Wright and Tina Armstrong
Entrants in the ring: 4
Entrants still left to go: 45
[1] - The Helluva Kick is Sami Zayn's finishing move in WWE NXT, just to let you people know.

And who will find my batch of double fudge chocolate brownies that I've lost?
Questions will be answered come next chapter! Until then, stay frosty and cool, everyone!
