Chapter 7: It's Showtime!


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

Entrant #31: Joker (Persona 5)

Once the buzzer sounded off, the fans were treated to the tune of Shinsuke Nakamura's original theme song from NJPW playing in the background as a black-haired man dressed in a all black tuxedo, red gloves and an opera mask around his face came out to a tremendous ovation from his loyal fangirls, who were busy chanting his name nonstop around Qualcomm Stadium.

"I got a feeling this guy ain't gonna be joking around!" The King shook his head.

"No, he won't, King! Here comes a fan favorite from the Persona series, Joker, coming in at 31!" J.R. pointed out quickly.

"I'll admit, I haven't played much of the Persona series to begin with and all," Tazz replied before saying, "But I do know for the fact that this youngster is definitely a threat to begin with!"

As he finally got in the ring, D-Va tried to surprise Joker with a superkick, only for the mask-wearing youngster to catch her foot right at the nick of time.

"Oh, he caught it, Cole!" The King exclaimed.

"What on earth is Joker gonna do?" JR shrugged.

With a smirk wrapped around his face, Joker pulled D-Va close to him and grabbed her leg tightly before surprising the brunette with a surprising kiss around the lips, nearly surprising the crowd watching in the audience.

"Whoa!" Tazz said with a surprised gasp.

"Well, that's… interesting!" Cole blushed.

"Joker's laying one on her!" The King chuckled, enjoying the scene he was watching right now, "Damn it, why can't that be me?!"

"It's because you're sitting with us, King." JR said to the King.

It only lasted a good eight seconds before Joker broke off that kiss, leaving D-Va confused on what just happened to her.

Joker used her hesitation to good use as he surprised D-Va with a superkick of his own!

"So much for that moment!" Cole exclaimed.

"You know how much she likes to be swept off her feet!" The King smirked to Cole.

"Definitely not in the way D-Va thought of!" shook J.R.'s head.

Joker was just getting started though as he looked around for more people to fight. Luckily for him, his eyes managed to get a glimpse of Vault Dweller, who recently body-slammed Sonic The Hedgehog to the mat.

The mask-clad teenager snuck up right behind him and hopped on his shoulders, flipping Vault Dweller over with a reverse hurricanrana! But much to Joker's shock though, Vault Dweller got up right away therefore no-selling the move by surprise.

"WHAT?!" The King said with a shriek.

"How did he recover like that?!" Tazz asked his partners.

Before they could explain though, Vault Dweller decided to respond to Joker with a couple of double middle-fingers, forcing the teen to attempt a clothesline. But Vault Dweller decided to turn things around by grabbing Joker in a reverse DDT position before lifting him up and slamming him down with a big lifting reverse DDT!

"And Vault Dweller with one hell of a statement!" J.R. exclaimed.

"That Poison-Rana didn't help Joker much!" The King shook his head, "What's up with Vault Dweller, did he eat some drugs before this?!"

"I highly doubt it, King." Cole rolled his eyes.

Meanwhile, Cloud Strife was busy getting Hope Estheim with a back suplex. But instead of slamming him though, Cloud did the unthinkable by crocheting Hope right around the ropes, leaving Hope's face in nothing more than excruciating pain and tears!

"Oh no!" The King chuckled in feigned agony.

"I think someone got a little drama to the groin there!" Tazz chuckled as well.

"You're telling me, Tazz." J.R. nodded before replying, "I don't think Hope is ever gonna have kids after that impact!"

The worst was already beginning for Hope though as Cloud proceeded to grab the ropes and flop them up and down, forcing Hope to take a painful ride with his sack being swollen up and red on impact.

"This is not good for Hope!" Cole shook his head.

"What's not good? The position he's in or that ride he's taking?!" Tazz said to Cole.

Cole then nodded in response, "Both, so far!"

"I'd hate to be Hope right now!" The King commented.

Cloud finally managed to let him down by flinging Hope right back to the ring, therefore seeing the blonde clinch himself right between the legs while struggling to stand.

When he finally did stand however, he turned around and saw Ratchet come running in with a big Trouble In Paradise kick!

"There it is, Trouble In Paradise!" JR shouted out.

"Ratchet coming in hot like a bullet!" Tazz exclaimed, "No doubt he got Hope pretty good!"

As Hope attempted to get himself back into the match though, the San Diego crowd looked towards the entrance way yet again and saw the countdown clock light up on the titantron, leading another entrant to enter through that curtain.

"Anyway, we're gonna see what number 32 will have to offer here in this match!" The King said, pointing to the curtain.

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

After that buzzer was sounding off all across the stadium, the fans and the rest of the competitors all felt the lights go all dim around them before they all saw a glowing orange light pop up at an opening on the stage. The commentators of course, were all confused seeing this all of a sudden.

"Whoa, what's going on here?" Tazz asked Michael Cole.

"I have no idea what on earth's going on, Tazz!" Cole shrugged.

"Me neither, guys!" The King exclaimed.

But then all of a sudden, "Seek & Destroy" by Metallica began to play to a very big pop while at the same time, a woman dressed all around in orange/gold armor with a red helmet covering her entire face with a green visor began to rise from under the stage all around a whole gallon of smoke. The fans recognized that 32nd entrant right away as...

Entrant #32: Samus Aran (Metroid)

"Oh, now that's a way to make an entrance!" Tazz shouted excitingly.

"That kind of entrance, of course, can only belong to our next entrant from the Metroid series, Samus Aran!" JR exclaimed.

The King let out a disappointed groan by saying, "Oh, that's not fair, how come she's not in her zero suit?"

"I guess she's decided to change it up a little, King!" JR said to the King.

However, King's disappointment soon faded away as Samus quickly disassembled her armor one-by-one, exposing her more famous Zero Suit, much to the delight of both King and the male fans all sitting at ringside.

"Yes, now THAT'S what I came to see!" King quickly pointed out.

"You can best be sure the crowd's loving it!" Tazz exclaimed, "Heck, I do too!"

"Guess I was proven wrong, then…" JR muttered to himself.

Samus then bolted down through the aisle and got right inside the ring right away, kicking Ryo right in the ribs repeatedly around three times before sending Ryo down to the mat with a hard standing axe kick!

"Look at Samus go!" The King smirked.

"Ryo definitely got the bad end of those kicks!" JR replied.

Byleth Eisner tried to catch her by surprise by attempting to lock in a Cobra Clutch from behind, but that would be to no avail though as Samus managed to roll him off of her. He then got right back to his feet and turned around, only to get blasted with a big discus elbow from Samus!

"OH! Night night, Byleth!" Tazz chuckled in unison.

"It just may be that way thanks to that hard shot!" Cole pointed out the attack.

Samus was busy building up some momentum by her side when all of a sudden, Taki came running right in and blasted the bounty hunter with a big running Bicycle Pump Kick!

"I think someone's gonna need a blanket and pillow herself!" The King exclaimed.

"Taki blasted Samus really good with that hit!" JR exclaimed as well.

The jumpsuit-clad ninja wasn't quite done with Samus just yet as she then got the blonde bounty hunter up on her feet. However, it was to drive Samus's head right through the mat with a reverse STO!

"Oh, faceplant!" Tazz replied.

"Samus is in deep trouble for sure!" Cole nodded out.

With Samus incapacitated from that move, Taki decided to go for the kill by throwing Samus over the top rope, but only for the blonde bounty hunter in blue to keep herself on the apron for safe-keeping. Taki turned around and saw Samus standing still on the apron, forcing the ninja to attack her right away. But Samus put her smarts to good use by striking Taki in the ribs with her shoulders, before flipping herself back in the ring and right over Taki in a big somersault. When Taki turned around once more, she saw Samus run right at her with a big clothesline, sending Taki over the top rope and onto the floor, eliminating her to a big gigantic pop from the San Diego crowd!

"And Taki is over and out!" JR shouted.

"Samus just shut Taki down like that!" Tazz shouted as well.

"And that brings Samus her first elimination of the night!" Cole exclaimed.

16th Elimination: Taki; Eliminated by: Samus Aran; Duration: 18:35

After Taki took her leave from ringside though, Issac Clarke had his hands full with Vault Dweller as he planted the mysterious soldier with a big powerbomb!

"Clarke with a powerbomb!" The King exclaimed as well.

Tazz then stopped him for a minute before pointing out, "Hold up, I don't think Clarke is finished with him yet!"

It was definitely clear that Clarke was in fact, not finished with Vault Dweller one bit.

He then lifted the Vault Dweller up with another powerbomb before transitioning into a big airplane spin that lasted around a good ten seconds. After that, Clarke immediately shut Vault Dweller down with a samoan drop!

"Clarke dropped him hard!" Tazz replied.

"Vault Dweller is definitely taking a whole lot of pain in this match!" Cole replied as well, "You have to wonder how much pain these contestants are in!"

"I definitely wouldn't want to be them, Cole." The King shook his head.

As Vault Dweller was struggling to get back up to his feet from the samoan drop he suffered, the crowd instantly got back up to their feet and looked over to the stage to see the Rumble clock light right back up on the titantron, obviously waiting on the next entrant to enter the match.

"It won't be long before we finally see who gets drawn number 33, guys!" Tazz shouted in anticipation.

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

Entrant #33: Delsin Rowe (Infamous)

Once that buzzer stopped sounding off, the fans were all treated to the tune of "Hey Bro", which was instantly recognized as the theme song to NXT superstar Matt Riddle. At the same tine though, a man decked out in a black hoodie that was covered with a denim vest, dark denim pants, black and white sneakers and signature red cap came out with a big enjoyable pop from the crowd. This guy took his sweet time coming down the aisle though as he used this time to feed off the energy from the fans with his hands in his pockets.

"I think this Rumble just got infamous, guys!" The King exclaimed.

"Speaking of infamous though, here comes Delsin Rowe from the Infamous series at number 33!" JR pointed out.

"Looks like he ain't in no hurry either." Tazz replied, "Look at chill he is with his hands in his pockets."

While Delsin took his time walking down, the action continued in the ring as Nina Williams finally managed to get her hands on Christie Monteiro once again, this time by picking Christie right up in a fireman's carry position all before slamming the capoeira beauty down to the mat in a big powerslam!

"Well, that's a long way down!" The King smirked out.

"Nina putting Christie down with a Big Bang Catastrophe, a la Keith Lee!" Cole shouted in suspense.

Nina took the time to talk trash to Christie yet again before being cut off by the sight of Delsin Rowe, who got in the ring still looking chill and laid-back while approaching Nina at the same time. She looked at him with quite the "WTF" expression right on her face just to add a bit of comedic effect.

"I think Nina doesn't know what to think of him!" JR shook his head.

"I bet she's looking to toss him out of this match." Tazz said, taking a guess on how this situation will end.

After only five seconds of that faceoff though, Delsin decided to channel his inner Orange Cassidy by giving Nina a weak left kick to the leg, a weak right kick to the leg, another weak kick to the leg and another right kick to the leg, much to the delight of the fans watching at ringside. Those kicks didn't effect Nina though as she still stood very appalled at her lazy kicks.

"I don't get it," The King shrugged, "Is that really hitting her?"

"I have no clue, King!" JR shrugged back.

The weak kicks she took immediately made Nina angry to the point to where she swung her foot between Delsin's legs. But before it could actually hit though, Delsin took his reflexes to good use and catched her foot in time, therefore not connecting the attack.

"Oh, he saw it coming, Cole!" Tazz quickly pointed out.

Cole shook his head as he then said, "And safe it say, it didn't work for Nina here!"

Nina began hopping around for a good several seconds before Delsin pushed her right into Christie Monteiro, who connected the assassin with a big superkick right to the face.

"Night night, Nina!" The King smirked.

"Christie did just that to her right away!" J.R. nodded to the King.

Christie wasn't quite done with Nina just yet though, as she delivered the blonde yet another superkick.

The impact was so strong that it sent Nina tumbling towards Corvo Attano's way. Corvo managed to react quickly and duck down, lifting up Nina with a back body drop over the ropes and onto the floor, eliminating her to a roaring applause from the San Diego crowd!

"Nina's gone! Nina's eliminated!" Cole shouted loudly into the mic.

"My goodness, that's gotta be big!" The King chuckled in amazement.

Tazz chuckled as well saying with relief, "Yeah, Nina definitely isn't gonna like being thrown out early!"

"She's definitely gonna have to live with it, Tazz!" JR nodded, "She's done for the night!"

17th Elimination: Nina Williams; Eliminated by: Christie Monteiro & Corvo Attano; Duration: 4:37

Nina immediately got back up on her feet and looked up to the two people that had eliminated her from the match: Christie and Corvo.

The look of shock that was on her face soon turned to anger as she attempted to get back in the ring, only to be held apart by the referees that were successfully holding her back.

"She's frickin' livid here!" Tazz replied.

"Can you blame Nina though?" The King asked the ECW great, "Christie just blindsided her with that superkick!"

Not having to be held back by the referees anymore, Nina got right off the apron and sucker punched one of the refs before attempting to get back into the ring for a second time. Once again, she was stopped by even more referees, who were now latching onto her literally.

"C'mon, there was no need for that!" J.R. whined, referring to the hit Nina made to the referee.

"This chick will not take no for an answer, King!" Tazz shook his head.

"She definitely won't, Tazz." Cole shook his head as well before looking over to the curtain, "But while our men try to pull her away, we're gonna see another entrant come by now!"

As the entire camera crew were focusing on Nina and the rest of the officials, the crowd instantly looked over to the stage to see the Rumble clock tick down to the 34th entrant of the Rumble match.

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

When the buzzer sounded out for perhaps the 32nd time of the night, the lights had started to dim out for a little while only for the lights to shine all across a stage while the song "Whatta Man" by Salt-N-Pepa started playing in the soundspeakers. Just to complete the entrance look, it was soon followed by a red carpet rolling from the stage and all the way down the aisle.

"Huh, wonder what this must be?" J.R. raised his eyebrow.

"No clue, but I'm guessing whoever's entering next must enter in style." Tazz guessed out.

Someone was indeed entering in style.

And that 'someone' came through the curtain wearing black/blue tights with white boots, a white belt that had the name "CAGE" labeled in perfect gold plating, a chest tattoo that said "Johnny", and signature sunglasses that completed his look with slicked brown hair. His entire legion of followers all cheered with gusto, breaking out a "Cage" chant repeatedly as he strutted down that red carpet aisle. Of course, it was no surprise who this entrant was, who went by the name of...

Entrant #34: Johnny Cage (Mortal Kombat)

"Oh my goodness!" The King shouted excitingly.

"You may be right, King! Johnny Cage from the Mortal Kombat series is here!" Cole nodded.

"Is there anything this guy can do?" Tazz shrugged, "I mean he's a money-making movie star, martial artist, wedded to one of the best video game chicks of the Mortal Kombat franchise..."

J.R. shrugged as well before replying, "Well, if Cage can play his cards right, he could become the first-ever winner of the Video Game All-Star Royal Rumble."

However, as he kept on strutting down the aisle, Johnny Cage managed to pull out a microphone out of his belt and started to speak to his fans of his.

"What up, Green Bay?" Johnny shouted to his fans, "You all ready to get Cage'd?"

The fans all cheered at this question right away as a way to say "Yes."

"Well, I'm pretty sure the rest of the competitors inside the ring are gonna feel the boom too, so whoever's in that ring, you better watch out because all of you are gonna get a complete Caging courtesy of the hottest, sexiest man who ages better than fine Wisconsin wine." Cage smirked out before continuing his promo even longer, "Because as far as I see it, we got a blonde spiky-haired emo, a furry blue rat with red shoes, a bubblegum-blowing soldier, a bootleg version of Ezio Auditore dressed in black, a J-Lo cosplayer, Vault Dweller, a Zane Truesdale lookalike, a rejected version of Crash Bandicoot with pants, Ryo Ryo Ryo Your Boat, Raiden and Roxas's love child, ninja boy, spiky-haired Link, the metallic glow-worm, Tuxedo Mask's brother, a bounty hunter and a moody hipster. I think this Rumble is gonna be a piece of cake."

However, Cage managed to stop at ringside and got a look at Nina Williams, who right now was finally being pulled away by the referees. He then smirked back and took a shot at her just for fun.

"And as you see here, what we got here is a discount version of my ex-wife." Johnny smirked over to Nina, who seethed in anger at him, "Look, honey, I'd date you, but you're the silent and deadly type. By that, I mean I don't date girls who put out like very gassy farts on the first date."

Nina attempted to go after Cage from that insult he made, only to be pulled apart by the referees once again who were trying to contain her. The scene definitely delighted the fans even more, cheering non-stop for their favorite action hero in glasses.

"Nina's not gonna like that!" Cole shook his head.

"I'm not sure if the others in the ring liked that as well!" The King shook his head as well, "This guy's being a one-man burn unit."

After the ovation for him finally died down, Cage began to smirk with a big smile, "Now that we've finally seen the last of that broad, who wants to hear me pull off a rap for all of you?"

As the crowd all cheered in response though, they died down once more as Sonic The Hedgehog came running in through the ropes and catch Cage by surprise in a big suicide dive. That move of course, was broken out in a quite a mixed response from the fans, mostly boos because some of those boos were coming from Johnny Cage's loyal fans.

"Oh, Sonic right out of nowhere!" Tazz shouted out of his seat.

"Where on earth did he come from?" The King said, trying to keep his crown together, "Did he get thrown over or something?"

"Apparently, he only went through the ropes, not over, King." JR replied to The King, "So apparently, Sonic is still in the match?"

"I wouldn't say the same for Cage though. He got taken out!" Tazz chuckled.

Cage's entire speech took a full good minute in the match though as that it was enough for the crowd to stand all throughout their feet and look toward the stage, obviously awaiting the next entrant coming in the match as that Rumble clock ticked down on the titantron.

"I don't know how long that speech took, but I think it's more than enough to bring out our next entrant of the match!" The King pointed to the curtain.

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

Entrant #35: Pac-Man

As the buzzer sounded once more, the crowd were treated to the tune of "Pac-Man Fever" by Buckner & Garcia playing throughout the stadium as a familiar yellow ball with eyes, mouth, arms and legs started running through the curtain and became treated to a big ovation from the crowd.

However, as he was running, the 35th entrant's feet accidentally slipped on the red carpet, forcing him to roll all the way down the aisle painfully much to the delight and laughter of the fans. Heck, even Tazz and Jerry Lawler themselves were losing it seeing this accidental faux pas occur beneath their very eyes!

"And he-what the?!" Tazz gulped in shock.

"HAHAHA! He fell!" The King laughed nonchalantly.

"He crashed and burned just before Pac-Man could even enter the ring!" Cole replied, "Why was Cage thinking of putting a red carpet there?"

"Maybe we forgot to roll it back up, Cole." Tazz said to Cole.

Pac-Man's painful roll down the aisle finally began to come to a stop when he rolled through the ring, therefore hiding there for no one to see.

"Hey, look at that, he's using the same thing I'm doing!" The King pointed out, referring to the under-the-ring tactic he used in Royal Rumble 1996.

"I'm not sure if Pac-Man was thinking of hiding under the ring, King!" Cole shrugged his shoulders, "I think he was looking for something to break his roll down the aisle!"

"I think Cole's right about that, King!" JR exclaimed.

As Pac-Man struggled to get back on track though, the camera quickly shifted over to both Jak and Ratchet, who were trying to push one another over the ropes but only for both heroes to latch onto the ropes in full control.

"Hold up, we got an elimination process going on here!" Tazz said, pointing to both Ratchet and Jak.

"Both Ratchet and Jak are going at it, Tazz!" Cole exclaimed, "Only one of them is gonna be kept safe!"

The two continued to pull one another down as hard as they could until Johnny Cage finally gathered himself together and got right in the ring, grabbing both Ratchet and Jak right by their legs and flipping them all over the top rope and onto the floor, eliminating both of them to a huge standing ovation from the San Diego crowd.

"Cage with two eliminations!" JR shouted.

"No kidding, Cage just pulled out a double decker!" The King shouted as well.

"Both Ratchet and Jak just got Cage'd here tonight!" Tazz nodded.

18th Elimination: Ratchet; Eliminated by: Johnny Cage; Duration: 12:22

19th Elimination; Jak; Eliminated by: Johnny Cage; Duration: 8:23

While both Ratchet and Jak took their leave at ringside altogether, Delsin Rowe managed to keep his momentum going by putting down Hope Estheim with a big powerbomb.

"Oh, Delsin with that powerbomb." JR replied.

However, Delsin wasn't quite done with him yet as he brought Hope right up to his knees and blasted him right in the face with a Final Flash knee strike!

"Oh, KNOCKOUT!" Tazz shouted.

"Hope's gonna need some novocaine for that hit!" The King quickly pointed out.

Meanwhile, the camera then shifted over to the ringside, where they got a good look at Pac-Man, who right now was starting to get his senses back after that stumble not too long ago.

"Well, someone's finally gotten up." JR replied.

"Someone should tell that yellow dot to go home, because he's obviously drunk!" The King smirked from the joke he made.

"He tripped and slipped on a red carpet, King." Cole corrected the Memphis legend, "We all saw it happen a moment ago."

"You don't know that," The King shrugged to Cole, "Maybe he drank too much before he bolted out of that curtain."

"He did not!" JR groaned in response.

As the rest of the commentators were putting up with The King's joke, Pac-Man managed to get himself on that apron and get inside that ring, much to his belief.

But it would only be a good five seconds until Strider Hiryu came running in full speed, clotheslining Pac-Man over the top rope and onto the floor, eliminating him instantly from the match.

"What, already?!" The King shrieked.

"Pac-Man didn't even get a chance to do his thing!" JR exclaimed.

"Man, that sucks for him!" Tazz replied, "Guess we can blame Johnny Cage's red carpet for that!"

20th Elimination: Pac-Man; Eliminated by: Strider Hiryu; Duration: 0:05

As soon as Pac-Man got back up to his feet and left looking very defeated, he left ringside while inside the ring Joker and Hope Estheim were taking shots at one another in the form of chops straight to the chest.

Each one getting very painful from the next, with the latest chop stinging Joker right by his chest.

"OUCH!" Cole hissed.

"That one oughtta make his ears bleed, Cole!" Tazz quickly pointed out.

Joker didn't take the chop to the chest too well.

So much so that Joker stomped on Hope's foot before grabbing one of his fingers and snapping it sideways, making Hope wince in excruciating pain!

"My gawd!" J.R. cringed in horror.

"Was 'The Villain' Marty Scurll watching?" The King simply asked J.R.

J.R. then nodded before replying, "I definitely hope he was, because Joker may have borrowed a thing or two from him from the Villain's playbook!"

Meanwhile, as Hope continued to feel the pain from the fingers, the Rumble clock had lit up the titantron once again which forced the fans to turn their eyes to the curtain to see which entrant would come out next.

"We're gonna see another entrant coming through that curtain, guys. I'm feeling excited about this!" Tazz smirked with gusto.

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

Right as the buzzer was sounding off once again, the fans all got a good look at three fighter jets flying all through the sky with red, white and blue smoke falling all across the stadium. Thankfully, the rest of the fans all managed to hold their breaths in without having to cough.

"Whoa, where on earth did all that smoke come from?" Tazz coughed a bit.

"I wouldn't even know, Tazz." Cole shrugged, "But it looks a little patriotic here."

After they were flown away, Guile's theme from Street Fighter II started to play out to a strengthening reaction from the crowd as a man with wide eraser hair, green tanktop, camo pants, brown boots and the American flag tattooed on his left arm. No doubt, that kind of appearance and wardrobe only belonged to one man:

Entrant #36: Guile (Street Fighter)

"Here comes a little Americana comin' our way, folks!" The King quickly pointed out.

"And no doubt our 36th entrant breathes a whole lot of it, King!" Cole nodded to the King, "Without a doubt, here come a huge fan favorite from the Street Fighter series, Guile!"

J.R. then added out sternly, "With his military background, Guile is poised to be a serious threat!"

No doubt Guile was about to prove just that.

Once he got right inside the ring, he went right to work by hitting away at Vault Dweller with three hard fight haymakers right before dropping him to the mat with a big roaring discus punch!

"Down goes the Vault Dweller!" Tazz exclaimed.

Sonic The Hedgehog tried to surprise him with a hurricanrana, but much to the blue speedster's dismay however, Guile used his strength to good use by holding Sonic upside down in the process.

"I think Sonic may be looking to go down too!" The King said, gulping in fear of Sonic's safety.

Sonic attempted to break free, but it was too late. Guile immediately muscled him right up and slammed Sonic all the way down with a crushing sitdown powerbomb!

"Well, I guess you were right, King!" J.R. nodded.

"Now he's flattened like roadkill." The King smirked, making a joke yet again.

Meanwhile, as Sonic was reeling from the effects of that powerbomb, Christie Monteiro was at the lower right turnbuckle attempting to pull off a superplex on Samus Aran. Thankfully for the bounty hunter in blue, she managed to hang on, forcing Christie to fail on her first attempt.

That still didn't stop her from trying again though as she tried for another attempt.

"Christie's got Samus right in the danger zone!" Tazz exclaimed yet again.

"But she's hanging in there, Tazz." Cole informed Tazz, "Samus is making sure Christie's not getting the chance!"

And she wouldn't get that chance at all.

Before she could finally lift her up, Johnny Cage came walking out of nowhere and grabbed Christie right by the legs in an Electric Chair position, leaving Samus to recover long enough to regain her senses. When she did, she noticed Cage had Christie up on a Doomsday Device position, which gave Samus quite an idea.

"Wait a minute, is Samus thinking what she's thinking?" The King said, raising an eyebrow.

"It's definitely what's on her mind!" Tazz nodded to the King.

Once she took a deep breath though, Samus leaped off the top rope and blasted Christie right in the face with a big diving clothesline, flipping the capoeira beauty over to the mat!

"There it is, Doomsday Device!" JR exclaimed.

"No doubt that was a rush!" The King nodded, agreeing with JR.

Samus soon got right back up to her feet and attempted to hit Johnny Cage, only for the actor to stop the bounty hunter with his own two hands and backed away before speaking out to her in an attempt to reconsider.

"Whoa whoa whoa, wait a minute, don't strike the face!" Johnny said to Samus, literally begging for his face not to get punched, "Look, before you try to strike me, why don't we make a deal?"

Samus then raised his eyebrow and asked Cage questionably, "What kind of deal. You know it's every man and woman for themselves!"

"I know, I know!" Cage nodded before saying, "But let's make an alliance between you and me, and together, we can take out everybody else who's in our way and eliminate all of them until it comes down to the two of us. What do you say?"

Just to complete his statement, Johnny Cage raised his hand out to her as a way to give her a handshake. Samus looked around the audience as a way to search for an answer herself. Surprisingly there were a whole lot of fans who were persuading her to take the offer while a small tiny part of the audience shook their heads as way that Cage couldn't be trusted.

"I think Cage is making an offer Samus can't refuse!" Tazz smirked.

"He might be lookin' to form an alliance with Samus to team up until it comes down to the two of them!" Cole explained.

"That's a smart strategy in my opinion!" The King exclaimed, "I mean, who can resist that million-dollar charm of his?"

J.R. then stepped right in and killed King's buzz, "Or it could be a mistake in Samus's part!"

After only a good ten seconds of thinking it over, Samus immediately made the right decision and shook Johnny Cage's hand to the enormous cheers from the San Diego crowd.

"I think we got our answer!" Tazz shouted out.

"It looks like Samus just took Johnny Cage's offer to team up." Cole replied.

"Haha, I told you nobody can resist an offer from Johnny Cage, JR!" The King smirked.

JR rolled his eyes, "Yeah King, we'll see how long it'll last."

Cloud Strife tried his best to put a stop to their alliance with a clothesline, only for both Cage and Samus to duck down and blast the ex-soldier in the face with a double superkick!

"Oh, superkick party, baby!" Tazz smirked.

But after they were done with that double superkick though, the two turned around to see Ryo Sakazaki leap off the top rope and dive on top of the two with a flying body press!

"Well, that party came to a stop!" J.R. cringed a bit.

"So much for a party pooper." The King groaned in disgust.

While both Cage and Samus were reeling from that big diving body press, the fans all yet again looked over to the stage and saw the Rumble clock light up the titantron itself, making way for it's next entrant.

"I think we're about to be greeted by another entrant, guys!" The King pointed to the curtain, "Can't wait to see who it is!"

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

Entrant #37: Tomba

Then, just as the buzzer sounded out, the song "Real Wild Child" by Iggy Pop began to blare out around Qualcomm Stadium as a short pink-haired man dressed in a green leafy belt began to bolt out of the curtain full-speed to a big surprise-entrant-like ovation from the crowd! The King immediately got freaked out by his appearance right away and shrieked.

"WHAT?! Not this guy!" The King groaned.

"Oh, yes, it's definitely this guy, King!" J.R. nodded, "Here to compete in this Rumble is a real wild child of the PlayStation era, Tomba!"

"Real wild child is right!" The King nodded in sanity, "I bet he makes Marc Mero look like a goofball!"

After that Olympic-like sprint he took down that aisle, Tomba immediately got in the ring and surprised Byleth with three gut shots before giving the blue-haired professor a big headbutt for good measure!

"And he's gone wild!" Tazz shouted.

"I'll say!" The King nodded before stating, "He just gave Byleth one wild headache!"

D-Va tried to sneak attack Tomba with a big haymaker, but the pink-haired wildman managed to catch her fist in time and sent her down on all fours right before sitting right on her spine. He then started to make the fans laugh by slapping the back of D-Va's head repeatedly like a drum and even mess around with her hair.

"Oh no, not her hair!" The King whined.

"Too bad, King. He went for it!" JR shook his head, "It's just a part of Tomba having some fun here!"

"Not as fun for D-Va though!" Tazz shook his head as well.

As the camera got a good shot of Tomba shaking his butt towards D-Va's face, it soon turned quickly to the sight of Hope Estheim, who got launched right in the air and got slammed down with a pop-up powerbomb courtesy of Issac Clarke!

"What a big pop-up powerbomb!" shouted Michael Cole.

"We might have to get a spatula for him," The King suggested to Cole, "Because truth be told, they'll have to scrape him off that mat."

There was no need for a spatula though as Issac soon grabbed Hope right by the legs and used him as a catapult to launch him to the lower left turnbuckle, hitting his face on the turnpad.

"Oh, X marks the spot!" Tazz exclaimed.

Issac wasn't done with Hope yet again as he then lifted the youngster with a big flapjack, right at the same time Delsin Rowe came out running and catched Hope by the neck, therefore landing a Dudley Death Drop!

"3D! The Dudley Death Drop!" Cole shouted out loudly!

"Uh-oh, you think they're gonna bring out the tables?" The King asked Tazz.

The ECW original shrugged out before replying, "Not that I know of, but we'll see!"

Once both Issac and Delsin got right back up on their feet, the space soldier immediately pushed Delsin as a way to get him pumped. The 24-year old hipster then looked around to the crowd as they chanted "We Want Tables" at the two men who did the 3D on Hope.

Delsin looked back to Issac, who had a grin through his helmet as he shouted to a big pop from the crowd, "GET THE TABLES!"

"Well, it looks like we ARE gonna get tables!" Tazz smirked joyously.

"If I was Hope right now, I'd get some life insurance at this minute!" The King said, fearing for Hope's safety right now.

Right now, the camera had remained focused on Delsin as he pulled out a big wooden table for him to set up.

He knew in his mind however that something was missing out on all of this. So he looked around the apron again, only to bring out a string of barbed wire much to the horror of the commentators sitting at ringside.

"Oh no, I don't like the looks of this." J.R. shivered grimly.

"Whatever Delsin's got planned with that barbed wire of his, it ain't gonna be any good for Hope at all!" Cole shook his head, shivering as well.

He definitely knew what to do about that barbed wire. So Delsin decided to wrap the barbed wire around the table like a burrito, now turning the table into a barbed-wire covered table, bringing in an even wild pop from the San Diego crowd.

"I only hope no one goes through that table." Cole said, shaking his head in fear.

Tazz smirked once more before saying to Cole, "Oh trust me, that's bound to happen!"

Right as he finally finished setting up the table, the crowd all looked to the stage once more, watching the entire Rumble clock light up to reveal the next entrant of the match.

"I'm psyched to see which entrant is gonna come up next, guys!" The King rubbed his hands in anticipation.

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

Entrant #38: Chell (Portal)

Once that buzzer rang out again, the fans all cheered and popped as usual when they saw a brunette-haired woman come through the curtain wearing a tight white tanktop, orange jeans and white boots to the tune of "Rock You Like A Hurricane" by The Scorpions.

The King saw her right away and grinned, "All right, more puppies! This is looking like the best Rumble ever!"

"And no doubt our next entrant plans to make it all the way, King!" J.R. exclaimed, "Here comes Chell from the Portal series at #38!"

After taking that run down the aisle, she got on top of the apron and waited for Cloud to turn right around to face her. When he did, he saw Chell somersault through the ring and pop back up with a big jumping DDT out of nowhere!

"Whoa!" Tazz said, gasping in amazement.

"Chell with a big statement on Cloud!" Cole replied.

Tazz then chuckled out before saying to Cole, "Trust me, that was more than a statement!"

Chell managed to keep her momentum going by going after Corvo Attano next with a big left kick. Then it was followed by a big right kick, followed by another left kick and made things interesting by stomping on one of his feet. Before Corvo could hold his foot in pain though, Chell surprised him with a big standing bicycle knee strike to the face, knocking Corvo down to the mat!

"Big combo capitalized by Chell right there!" J.R. shouted.

"Looks like something I'd see from Buddy Murphy!" The King smirked to J.R.

Chell wasn't quite done with Corvo just yet as she then rushed right to the ropes and back again, surprising Corvo with a vicious Hurricanrana Spike DDT!

"Oh, and she spikes him!" Cole exclaimed.

"Chell's making a huge killing here, Cole!" Tazz exclaimed as well.

Meanwhile, as Chell continued to go on a huge roll, the camera shifted right over to D-Va, who right now was dangling on the lower ropes thanks to Cloud Strife himself. The ex-soldier was attempting to push her off the apron while D-Va managed to hold on to dear life by placing her hands on the ringside floor.

"Uh-oh, D-Va's in the point of no return!" The King shivered in fear, "Cloud's got her by the feet!"

"This position's kinda familiar here..." J.R. muttered a bit.

After only several seconds of struggling though, Cloud finally let D-Va's feet go only for the brunette soldier to perform a headstand at ringside, therefore preventing her feet from hitting the floor much to the commentators amazement!

"Whoa, look at that!" Tazz shouted out.

"D-Va's channeling her inner Kofi Kingston!" Cole also shouted out as well, "Looks like she won't be easy to get rid of!"

"The only question is, how is she gonna get back into the ring?" The King asked his partners.

Luckily for D-Va, she was about to give The King her answer.

So she decided to handstand all the way to the steel steps, placing her feet there to avoid elimination!

"And she's safe!" JR sighed in relief.

"That was one hell of a lucky break she had!" Tazz nodded.

Cloud was found befallen from D-Va near-save elimination for a good second right before he was caught from behind by Strider Hiryu, who laid Cloud out with a big snap dragon suplex!

"Strider from behind!" JR shouted.

"That probably would have been enough to give Cloud whiplash!" Tazz nodded once more.

Strider wasn't done with Cloud though as he then hopped on Cloud's knee and locked in a big Shining Triangle choke in order to choke the life out of Cloud!

"Brilliant move by Strider!" Cole exclaimed.

"I'll admit that Shining Triangle he just locked in will definitely put Cloud to sleep!" The King nodded as well, "May be even enough to throw him right over the rope!"

Cloud tried his best to wiggle out in order to break free, but Strider had that hold kept in tight as he could, leaving Cloud's entire face to break out in a deep shade of dark blue. Heck, he tried to hit away at the ninja, but that only made Strider clench that hold even more harder.

Thankfully for Cloud, he finally got a break from the submission hold as Joker came running in and landed a big leg drop towards Strider's face, therefore finally breaking the hold!

"Just in the nick of time!" JR shouted.

The King then raised his eyebrow before saying to JR, "Yeah, although I wonder if Cloud may need a respirator after this is over?"

As Cloud attempted to get back the oxygen he lost from that Shining Triangle, the crowd inside Qualcomm Stadium all looked toward the titantron to see the Rumble clock light up to its next entrant eager to get in the match.

"We got #39 coming right up to bat, guys!" Tazz exclaimed, "The suspense is killing me!"

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

Entrant #39: Zero (Mega Man X)

With the buzzer continuing to sound out all across the stadium, the song "She Watch Channel Zero" by Public Enemy started to blare out in full-blast as a man decked out in red/white body armor with a long blonde ponytail came out through the curtain in full-speed, much to a tremendous ovation from the crowd themselves.

"Well, it looks like someone's hour is about to be up in the Rumble now!" The King smirked out.

"Especially now that Zero from the Mega Man X series is now in the Rumble match!" Cole nodded, "The Mega Man X games of course is considered to be the darkest in all of the Mega Man games!"

Before he could get in the ring however, he stopped at ringside and felt his helmet vibrate around the ears. It was there that Zero turned his headset on to be greeted with a female voice speaking to him through that same headset he had on.

"Can you hear me, Zero?" The voice said, identifying the figure speaking to him as his navigator, Alia.

Zero nodded before saying to Alia, "Yeah, I can hear you very well, Alia. I'm scouting all around the ring to see which one is the most dangerous threat to take out."

"Every single one of them are a threat, Zero." Alia spoke out to him, "Although by experience, I think Samus is the most suitable choice in that ring."

"Good, then that's the one I'm going after." Zero nodded, all before turning his headset off.

When he finally got in that ring however, he and Samus started hitting each other right away, trading stiff forehead shots to each other to see which one would stagger off their feet in the process.

"Looks like that didn't take long!" The King shook his head.

"No, it sure didn't, King!" Cole shook his head too, "Zero's ready for a war, and he's bringing that war to Samus right now!"

The forearm exchange occurred for a good ten seconds before Zero got the upper hand by surprising Samus with a left forearm smash, which soon followed into a roaring forearm right to the face!

"A big wakeup call right to Samus's face!" JR shouted out again.

"We're definitely seeing Zero at his hardest here tonight!" The King nodded.

Samus tried her best to keep her balance intact, but Zero made sure it didn't happen once he got her up with a big shin breaker.

And then, it would be followed next by transitioning into a big back suplex!

"Zero with quite a two-hit combo!" Cole exclaimed.

"Definitely caught Samus off guard in the process!" Tazz exclaimed as well.

Samus of course wasn't the one who needed help, though.

Right now, Johnny Cage was in a world of hurt himself as Guile started to pick him up in a fireman's carry position, all before spinning around in the ring with an airplane spin! The crowd all joined in the fun, counting down every single rotation Guile did to Cage, which was around fifteen times enough for Cage's stomach to get queasy.

"Guile taking Cage for a major ride there!" JR pointed out.

"Oh, this can't be good at all, JR!" The King winced in fear, "Imagine the fear of Johnny Cage losing his lunch all over the ring!"

After Guile finished spinning Cage around for the 16th time though, he came to a stop only to see Christie Monteiro come running in and boot Johnny right in the face with a big rocket kick, knocking the movie star off of Guile's shoulders and down to the mat!

"Christie coming in with that Boot of Doom!" shouted Tazz.

"I think it's more like a Foot of Doom, Tazz!" The King smirked to Tazz, "Because you see, Christie actually has bare feet instead of boots."

Tazz nodded back to the King as he replied, "Ah, I get ya."

As Johnny found himself reeling from that vicious Boot of Doom, Sonic The Hedgehog also decided to put a hurting on Johnny as well, but not before going to the top rope of course. He then looked right down at a fallen Johnny Cage, who right now was remaining motionless on the mat with no escape whatsoever.

"He's definitely got Johnny Cage on the drop zone!" Cole shouted while pointing to Sonic.

The King then shouted as well, "Move out of the way, Johnny!"

Unfortunately, it was way too late for the actor himself.

With a deep breath, Sonic flew off the top rope and bent his body over, hitting a big Shooting Star Press on Johnny Cage to a big gorgeous pop!

"Sonic flies high with a Shooting Star Press!" J.R. bellowed out.

"If this gets any worse for Johnny Cage, he may end up being a box-office bomb!" The King said, gulping nervously.

Meanwhile, as Johnny was left counting stars from that impact, the crowd all turned their heads to the titantrons once again (not lying, their necks and heads have to be hurting doing that constantly) and saw the countdown clock appear on the titantron to reveal the next entrant of the Rumble match.

"All right, #40 is coming right up!" Tazz exclaimed, "I can't wait for this!"

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

Entrant #40: Billy Lee (Double Dragon)

Once that buzzer began ringing out for the 38th time tonight, the fans all popped out in a frenzy once they heard the Double Dragon theme song play out around Qualcomm Stadium. They popped out even more when a brown-haired man dressed up in a white tanktop, denim vest, denim jeans, and brown boots made his way through the curtain, building up the support he was receiving from his loyal fans.

"All right, Bimmy's here, JR!" The King smirked to JR.

JR then groaned at that sentence, leading him to saw, "Jerry, it's Billy Lee from Double Dragon, not Bimmy!"

"But in the Double Dragon III game, his name usually says Bimmy." Tazz said, correcting JR himself.

"Tazz, that was an accidental mis-spell someone made." Cole said as he told Tazz the real truth, "In fact, those who made the Double Dragon games in the past will have you know it's Billy."

As the bickering between the commentators continued, Billy came inside the ring, only to come at a bad time when he saw Hope Estheim, Vault Dweller, Byleth Eisner, Tomba and Ryo Sakazaki circle him all around like the wagons in a circle.

"Uh-oh, I think he came at a bad time!" The King said, responding with a big gulp.

"No kidding," Cole shook his head, "This won't be good for Billy Lee."

Or was it?

As the five competitors began to approach him altogether in a group, Billy decided to jump high and spin all around, knocking all five men with a jumping spinning roundhouse kick!

"Oh my!" J.R. said, nearly losing his voice out of captivation.

"Bimmy- um, I mean, Billy, just wasted all five with one single kick!" Tazz shouted.

The man who got the worst of that jumping roundhouse kick was Ryo Sakazaki, who right now was stumbling all around a good portion of the ropes.

It proved to be a perfect opportunity for both Guile and Joker to run right at him, attacking Ryo with a double clothesline that sent the Kyokugen master over the top rope and onto the floor, eliminating him from the matchup completely!

"And Ryo's outta here!" Cole exclaimed.

"That kick definitely took a lot out of him, Cole." Tazz pointed out, "And it cost him right in the end!"

21st Elimination: Ryo Sakazaki; Eliminated by: Guile and Joker; Duration: 16:18

Meanwhile, as Ryo took his leave at ringside, Zero was continuing his momentum after putting down Delsin Rowe with a big bodyslam. And then, he proceeded to go on the top rope in attempt to pull off an high-risk aerial maneuver.

"Whoa, Delsin's on the drop zone!" The King quickly pointed out.

JR then pointed out to Zero as well, "And no doubt Zero's going for the kill!"

Before he could launch himself off the top rope, Chell managed to captivate everyone inside Qualcomm Stadium by leaping up the top rope and punching Zero in order to set him down. She then managed to wrap his arm around her neck and tried to attempt a superplex.

"And Chell right up to the top!" Cole shouted loudly.

"How on earth did she leap so high?" Tazz asked Cole.

The King then stepped right in and replied to Tazz, "Maybe she's got some sort of spring shoes that we don't know about!"

However, before she could even try to lift him up for a superplex though, Delsin came right back up on his feet and grabbed Chell right by her legs, slamming her down with a big powerbomb while Zero kept himself on the top rope much to the fans's relief!

"What a big powerbomb!" JR replied.

Delsin took his sweet time looking down at Chell with a big smirk left on his face.

It proved to be a mistake though as Zero came back up on the top rope and dove off, hitting a top rope bulldog from behind on Delsin!

"Good night, sweet prince!" The King said, smirking at Delsin.

"That story didn't end so good for Delsin!" Tazz shook his head.

While Delsin found his own face buried into the mat, Billy Lee continued his momentum in the match by delivering a big vertical suplex on Issac Clarke. However, that was far from over in Billy's case though.

"He nailed that suplex." Tazz pointed out.

Cole then shook his head by saying, "I don't think he wants to stop, Tazz."

Billy picked him up on his feet once again and lifted Issac up, slamming him down with yet another vertical suplex. And yet, that still was not enough for Billy to be satisfied. So he picked him up once more and lifted her up, only this time, Billy slammed Issac face-down into the mat with a big front-face suplex.

"Billy Lee is putting on a clinic, JR!" The King smirked, obviously being impressed by the fighter dressed in denim blue.

"If he keeps this up, I think I may have to change my favorite!" Tazz smirked as well.

After the camera got a good look at Issac Clarke withering in pain for a good second, they switched back over to the fans who were right now getting out of their seats and looking over to the stage, where the Rumble clock lit up once again for the next entrant to enter the Rumble match next.

"This is off the charts, guys!" The King said, smiling in excitement, "I can't wait to see what our next entrant is gonna be!"
