Chapter 10: The Duke's In Town
10… 9… 8… 7… 6… 5… 4… 3… 2… 1… *BZZT!*
Entrant #61: Candy Cane (Rumble Roses)
As the buzzer sounded off around the stadium, the crowd all rose up to their feet in quite a mixed reaction as her entrance theme from Rumble Roses, "Have Some Fun" by Killer Barbies, started playing as a female red-headed teenager with twin ponytails, a small, tied-up white t-shirt, plaid skirt and white high-heel boots came out with her signature guitar in hand. She began to rock out with the guitar herself, much to the delight of those who were big fans of her, and disdain of those who despised her henceforth why she got that mixed reaction.
"Well, it looks like school's out for this chick!" Tazz smirked, "And wouldn't you know it, King? She may be your type!"
"Yeah right, Tazz!" The King rolled his eyes.
"Even so, guys, we're gonna be treated to our next entrant from Rumble Roses, the troublemaker known simply as Candy Cane!" Cole exclaimed.
J.R. then blushed before clearing his throat out and saying, "That's, um… quite an outfit for a young lady to wear."
"What can I say, JR? All schoolgirls wear stuff like that." Tazz smirked once more.
After she was done rocking out with her guitar though, Candy Cane started running down the aisle, only to catch a glimpse of Joker, who suddenly had his back turned to her without even knowing.
With a dirty smirk attached across her hips, Candy Cane used all of her strength to strike Joker right in the back with the electric guitar, forcing the mysterious stranger to stumble onto a double dropkick by both Sonic and Tails!
"Oh, what a shot!" Cole shivered in impact.
"Which one are you talking about, Cole?" Tazz shrugged, "The one caused by Candy Cane or that double dropkick by Sonic and Tails?"
"If I had to guess, I'd say both right now!" Cole nodded.
The double impact that Joker took was simply too much for him to overcome as both Sonic and Tails managed to get him up by his feet, only to be thrown over the top rope and onto the floor, ending his Rumble run permanently.
"Looks like Joker's not running wild anymore!" The King shook his head.
"He certainly is not, King!" JR shook his head as well, "And that puts an end to Joker's chances at winning this Rumble entirely!"
35th Elimination: Joker; Eliminated by: Sonic the Hedgehog and Tails; Duration: 30:15
Meanwhile, as Joker began taking his leave from ringside, Cammy tried her best to stop Candy Cane's momentum from growing.
It was to no avail though as Candy struck the Delta Red leader in the ribs with the end of her guitar, followed by taking that same guitar to slam all across her back.
"Oh, that didn't feel too good!" The King groaned in pain.
"I guess you can say she's rocking the competition, King!" Tazz smirked, bringing in a couple of chuckles from JR and Cole, much to The King's own confusion.
"Wait a minute, you're all laughing at that?" The King asked both Cole and JR, "How come you never laugh at my jokes?"
"I guess it's a force of habit, King." JR nodded to The King.
At another part of the ring (mostly the lower left turnbuckle), the camera got a good look at Zero, who was climbing up to the second rope with Ryu Hayabusa feeling very groggy at this point. Zero used this to his advantage and started hitting away to the ninja's forehead, stiffing him up with repeatable punch shots around nine times!
"Zero's firing away, folks!" Tazz pointed out very quickly.
Cole then got a good look at Zero's feet around the middle rope and said, "I think it could be a mistake, Tazz, because look at the position Zero got himself in by doing that!"
"Well, then, that kid should be getting down right now!" Tazz exclaimed, changing his reaction.
Unfortunately, it was too late for Zero to heed that call as Hayabusa grabbed the maverick hunter right by his feet and flipped Zero over the top rope and onto the floor, eliminating him out of this Rumble match right away!
"You see right there, guys?" Tazz pointed out again, "That's what happens when you don't use his brain!"
"Indeed, Tazz!" Cole nodded, "And that cost Zero big time!"
36th Elimination: Zero; Eliminated by: Ryu Hayabusa; Duration: 22:30
After Zero had left ringside entirely, Doomguy ended up flipping Trish over the top rope with a big back body drop, only for the devil-hunter to cling herself to the ropes, keeping her safe on the apron for the time-being.
"Whoa, someone put on the brakes!" The King sighed in relief.
"We almost saw Trish going out of there!" Tazz exclaimed.
Doomguy attempted to knock Trish over, only for the blonde-haired renegade to blast him upside the head with a haymaker. And then, she decided to re-enter the ring in style by drilling him to the mat with a slingshot tornado DDT!
"What an impressive move by Trish!" J.R. replied.
"That'll knock a couple of brain cells off that stem of his!" The King nodded.
Trish wasn't completely done with Doomguy though as he attempted to grab him right by the right leg. However, it wasn't long before Marth decided to grab Doomguy right by the left leg, forcing both Trish and Marth to stare at one another and look at the crowd, who were screaming on their feet to give Doomguy a wish.
"Oh man, are they about to make a wish again?" Tazz asked his partners.
"I hope so, because these competitors are giving out wishes more than John Cena ever does!" The King chuckled half-heartedly.
After only seconds of waiting, both Trish and Marth separated Doomguy's legs altogether, making out a painful wishbone to the demon-slaying soldier. That wasn't all though as the two proceeded to shut Doomguy up with a brutal double Buzzsaw Kick!
"Night night, Doomguy!" Tazz said, smirking to Doomguy.
"I think he's going that just now, Tazz!" Cole nodded, "Doomguy may be out of it for the time being!"
With Doomguy incapacitated 100% on the mat, the entire crowd all stood up out of their seats once more and looked to the stage to see the Rumble clock tick all the way down to its next Rumble entrant.
"We got number 62 about to make his way down the ring now," JR replied, "Let us see who it is!"
10… 9… 8… 7… 6… 5… 4… 3… 2… 1… *BZZT!*
Entrant #62: Hong YunSeong (Soul Calibur)
Once the buzzer was finished blaring out, the "Call of the Ancients" theme from SoulCalibur III began to play all around Qualcomm Stadium as a crimson-haired teenager dressed in a white/orange chest plate, white pants and black shoes began making his way through the curtain and down the aisle, while being greeted by a slight, yet loud ovation from the entire San Diego crowd.
"Well, here's a kid I haven't seen in a while!" Tazz smirked a bit in surprise.
"And this kid Tazz is referring to is Hong YunSeong from the SoulCalibur series coming in at #62!" Cole exclaimed, "YunSeong of course is the student to his hero in his native Korea, Hwang!"
"And throughout the years, he's actually coming into his own." J.R. nodded, "So we'll see if that experience pays off here tonight!"
So far, it began to pay off well for him once he entered that ring.
The first person YunSeong encountered was Soma Cruz, who was attempting to get in a first strike. YunSeong decided to counter right away by striking the vampire hunter with a left kick, a right kick, another right kick before knocking Soma out with a spinning enzugiri!
"Look at this kid already!" Tazz replied, obviously impressed by YunSeong's kicks.
"He's definitely fast for a teenager, I'll tell you that, Tazz!" The King nodded.
Christie Monteiro attempted to put an end to YunSeong's momentum by putting him to sleep with a superkick, but YunSeong had other ideas in mind though as he caught Christie right by the foot, which came this dangerously close to touching his face.
"And we're seeing why he's fast!" JR nodded as well, referring to YunSeong's quick reflexes.
"Definitely caught Christie at a good time there." Cole replied.
YunSeong immediately managed to spin Christie around, only for the capoeira beauty to surprise him once again with a Dragon Whip wheel kick. Yet YunSeong's reflexes were put into play again as he ducked down, forcing Christie to miss. With her back suddenly turned, YunSeong dropkicked Christie right in the back, which sent her clotheslined into the ropes and hung herself groggily!
"Oh, that's gotta be very brutal!" Tazz cringed a little.
"Definitely didn't turn out good for Christie either!" JR said, shaking his head.
With Christie down right on her knees and acting very groggily around the middle ropes, this forced YunSeong to pump up the entire crowd in anticipation of something big that he was about to do next to Christie, obviously a 619. The San Diego faithful definitely wanted to see another one happen, and YunSeong was willing to reply with the fans.
"Oh, please don't tell me YunSeong's gonna dial it up too!" The King groaned with laughter.
"Hey, this is San Diego, King." Tazz shrugged, "And we all know who San Diego is the home of!"
"And no doubt he's watching this as we speak!" JR nodded as he saw YunSeong run right to the ropes.
But he wouldn't get the chance though as he turned around and stopped to see Johnny Cage shield himself with what seemed to be a big boombox. The actor wasn't looking to attack him though as he flinched a little at the same time YunSeong turned around to face him.
"Whoa, he stopped on the brakes!" Tazz pointed out.
JR on the other hand, raised his eyebrow and said, "Wonder why Cage cut him off like that?"
Cage then lowered the boombox and attempted to reason the hot-headed sword-wielder out, "Whoa whoa whoa, easy… calm down. I'm not here to strike you. In fact, I have a proposition for you."
"What the hell are you talking about?" YunSeong said to the actor.
"Now, no offense, you are a tremendous fighter and you're willing to do anything to protect your country, but what if I told you I could help you out?" Cage said to the youngster, which of course caught his interest, "Now I got a bounty hunter and my wife helping me out here, and truth be told, I was looking for someone who's fit with weaponry and all."
YunSeong raised an eyebrow from all of this by groaning, "What's in it for me?"
"Well, how about you, me, and the blonde-haired bounty hunter split the money in four if one of us wins?" Cage asked him sincerely. "Heck, I might throw in this nice boombox for you for free. And check it out, it plays this for those who's haircut is looking very punk rock-ish."
Just to give the teenager a sample though, Cage turned on the 80's inspired boombox, only to start playing out the song "Fat Lip" by Sum 41 which the actor started to dance to. He started to channel his inner Brock Lesnar by raising the boombox up to his shoulder and tap his feet in a groovy, funky way much to the laughter of this San Diego crowd. The commentators however, didn't even know what to make of this.
"Uhhhhh… what is Cage doing?" Tazz said, scratching his head.
"I don't have a damn clue, Tazz." JR shook his head embarrassingly, "But I think Cage is digging his hole very deep trying to persuade this kid!"
The King seemed to have fun seeing Cage dance to an early 2000s punk rock song so much so that he started to bop to the beat, "I like it! Cage has pretty good taste in music! YunSeong definitely couldn't resist!"
"I think this Rumble's turned into Cage's personal dance off!" Cole smirked out.
Cage continued to keep on dancing his heart out in front of YunSeong, who found himself facepalming out of pure annoyance on behalf of Cage's fun-loving stupidity. But he was a bit intrigued by what Cage said though as a possible four-member alliance would give him that far. So despite all of that, he decided to answer the best way he knew how to Cage…
…
…
…
…
...by roundhouse kicking the actor clear in the face, knocking his glasses right off!
"Well, there's his answer!" Cole smirked once more.
The King groaned in comedic effect as he whined, "Damn it, that's not right! Talk about a poor sport who doesn't have good taste in music!"
"This is the Royal Rumble Match King, not a dance floor!" JR replied, "Cage had to be an idiot to do something like."
"Yeah, and now Cage has a fat lip!" Tazz chuckled out in laughter, "Get it, because he was dancing to Sum 41?"
"Yeah, we get it now, Tazz." Cole chuckled in response.
As Cage struggled to get back into the matchup, his wife Sonya was out dealing with Jin Kazama herself as she whipped Kazuya's son right to the turnbuckles. She attempted to run towards him for a corner clothesline, but only to get shut down with a clothesline of Jin's that nearly decapitated her head off.
"Oh my gawd!" J.R. yelped.
"That looked horrendous!" Tazz replied out of fear.
"No kidding," The King nodded, "Sonya's definitely gonna be looking for a dentist after all of this is over!"
While Sonya was laid out unconsciously on the mat, the crowd wasted no time getting out of their seats again and looked right over to the stage, seeing the Rumble clock light up the titantron once more to the Rumble's next entrant of the match.
"Yeah, that might have to wait, King, because we're about to see number 63 make his way in the match!" Cole said as he pointed to the curtain.
10… 9… 8… 7… 6… 5… 4… 3… 2… 1… *BZZT!*
Entrant #63: Xion (Kingdom Hearts)
All of a sudden, the song "Paint It Black" by the Rolling Stones began to play full-blast after the buzzer as a black-haired girl dressed in a full black trenchcoat with a keyblade in her hands began to run through the curtain and down the aisle set to thousands of cheers from the entire audience themselves.
"Looks like one of Undertaker's druids ran away." The King smirked with pleasure.
"She may look like one to you, King, but that's Xion from the Kingdom Hearts series entering at #63 in this matchup!" Cole exclaimed.
"No wonder that black trenchcoat she has on reminded me of them." The King smirked again.
JR then stepped in and said to the King, "She's actually one of the members from Organization XIII, the same group that Roxas was in."
Xion thought of entering the ring for a minute, only for her to think of another way.
That was until she decided to enter the ring by the top rope, looking to catch an unsuspecting Ryu Hayabusa from behind, who right now leveled Corvo Attano with a vicious Yakuza Kick.
"What is Xion thinking here?" JR asked himself.
Once Hayabusa finally turned around, Xion launched herself off the top rope in attempt to hit a big flying body press on Hayabusa. It all backfired though as Hayabusa used his strength to catch Xion by his arms, leaving both the fans and commentators stunned as ever.
"Well, that didn't go well!" Tazz said, shaking his head repeatedly.
"No it did not, Tazz!" Cole shook his head too, "Xion made a big mistake here."
Or did she?
Hayabusa attempted to transition the backbreaker hold he had on Xion into a powerbomb lift, only for Xion to turn things in her favor by countering it with a big hurricanrana, sending the ninja straight to the turnbuckle.
"I guess she ate your words, Cole!" The King smirked once more.
"No doubt she definitely did." Tazz nodded.
Cole then blushed at himself embarrassingly by saying, "Okay, I guess I was wrong then."
That wasn't quite it for Xion though as the energy and momentum she got from her entrance got her pumped up. It got her pumped up so much that she rushed right over to Hayabusa and hit the mysterious ninja with a big running Stinger Splash!
"Stinger Splash at the corner!" JR shouted.
"Xion's on fire, JR!" Tazz shouted as well.
Xion still felt pumped up though to do another Stinger Splash, and so she did as she got herself back up and ran to the opposite corner.
With adrenaline rushing through her veins, Xion ran right over to Hayabusa and nailed yet another Stinger Splash for good measure!
"And another one!" The King exclaimed.
Tazz shook his head before saying, "I don't know who on earth can stop her!"
With two Stinger Splashes under her belt, Xion was looking to go for a third one.
So once she got to the opposite corner, Xion instantly took off only for Iori Yagami to rush right in and blast her with a big football tackle.
"You were saying, Tazz?" Cole asked Tazz with a raised eyebrow.
"Well, so much for a buzzkill!" Tazz groaned, "Way to go for Iori to ruin the mood!"
Meanwhile, as Iori was busy feeding off the hate of this San Diego crowd again, Link managed to get Setsuka up on his shoulders, looking to powerslam her right over the top rope and onto the floor.
"I think Link's gonna send Setsuka out of the Rumble!" The King pointed out.
As he got close to the ropes though, YunSeong managed to creep up behind Link and put Setsuka's feet back down into the mat, forcing Link to turn right around. When he did however, both YunSeong and Setsuka rushed right over to Link, nailing the hero of Hyrule with a double clothesline that sent Link right over the rope and onto the floor, eliminating him much to the shock and awe of the fans and commentators themselves!
"Wha- no way!" Tazz said, gasping in surprise.
"Yes way, Tazz! Link is out of here!" JR nodded to Tazz.
"Damn, and I thought he'd live longer!" Tazz exclaimed.
Cole then shook his head as he said to Tazz, "Apparently, that wasn't the case!"
37th Elimination: Link; Eliminated by: Hong Yun-Seong and Setsuka; Duration: 7:31
While Link painfully left ringside all by himself, the camera shifted over to see Cloud Strife and Sub-Zero strike at each other with hard rough chops to the chest, engaging in a blow-to-blow showdown to see which of their chops stung harder. The faceoff was definitely reminiscent of New Japan Pro Wrestling matches in which the two wrestlers would prove their hit power by striking each other with the same striking move. It was definitely happening here in this match, with Sub-Zero dominating those chops.
"Look at Cloud and Sub-Zero take it hard to one another!" JR pointed out.
"They're seeing who's the hardest-hitting striker here!" Tazz exclaimed, "I'll say, my money's on Sub-Zero!"
"Just exactly how many guys did you bet on in this match, Tazz?" Cole asked Tazz.
The ECW original scoffed as he smirked, "Like I'd actually tell you, Cole!"
The chop-to-chop lasted around a good 12 seconds with Sub-Zero continuing to dominate Cloud with chops, especially the last chop that Cloud took around his chest, which made it look like he was having heartburn.
"My goodness!" Cole shivered.
"I can't imagine how red his chest is getting right now!" JR shook his head.
"I guess Cloud should be lucky he's wearing that purple tank-top around his chest." Tazz replied, "Because I'm certain if he didn't, that would be a nasty sight!"
"You're telling me, Tazz!" The King said, "One chop from Sub-Zero could definitely make you blister like ice!"
Despite the pain Cloud found himself in, he attempted to strike Sub-Zero with a chop of his own. Unfortunately, he couldn't get the chance to as Marth stepped in and grabbed both Sub-Zero and Cloud's heads, connecting with a double noggin knocker!
"Double noggin knocker!" JR shouted.
That double noggin knocker wasn't enough to take them down though.
But with Byleth hitting Cloud with a running knee and Dorothea hitting Sub-Zero with a spear was way more than enough to get them down.
"Whoa, talk about double the pain!" Tazz pointed out.
"And no doubt that was double the pleasure for both Byleth and Dorothea!" Cole said, nodding to Tazz.
As both Sub-Zero and Cloud were reeling from that painful moment, the crowd managed to stand up once again and look over to the stage, where the countdown clock began to tick down to the next entrant of the matchup.
"I got a good feeling who our next entrant's gonna be, guys!" The King rubbed his hands in anticipation, "I bet it'll be a good one!"
10… 9… 8… 7… 6… 5… 4… 3… 2… 1… *BZZT!*
Entrant #64: Rouge The Bat (Sonic The Hedgehog)
With the buzzer sounding off around the entire stadium, the crowd were entranced to the tune of "Need You Tonight" by INXS playing on the soundsystem as an attractive anthropomorphic bat dressed in a very revealing skin tight sleeveless pink-black jumpsuit/bustier (that showed her cleavage) with white high-heeled boots began to strut through the curtain to a thousand cat-calls from the male audience sitting at ringside. The King suddenly found his entire jaw dropping from her entire appearance, which he didn't know what to make.
"Well, I guess we didn't expect someone like her to enter this match!" JR shook his head.
"I don't get it, is… is that some sort of white bat with puppies?" The King raised his eyebrow, not even knowing if he was weirded out or turned on.
"I believe it is, King!" Cole exclaimed, "And no doubt those belong to our next entrant from the Sonic franchise, Rouge The Bat!"
"I guarantee there are a lot of furry lovers enjoying this right now!" Tazz chuckled out, "Heck, The King's still not sure what to make of this!"
The King remained speechless as ever, especially when Rouge turned right around and flexed her arms around, all before bending over and caressing her legs right up to her thighs, showing off her curvaceous figure for all the crowd to enjoy (mostly the males though).
"Oh man, she's making my heart go, guys!" Tazz smirked to his partners.
"Wait a minute, don't tell me you're a furry lover too!" The King said to Tazz.
"Hey, I can't help myself, King!" Tazz shrugged to the King, "I mean, she's got one hell of a bangin' body!"
Once after she was done slaying men's hearts at ringside, Rouge used her wings to fly over to the ring and get inside, only to see Alyx Vance attempt to come at her with a running lariat. Rouge smirked as she managed to duck down the hit and run right to the ropes, leaping back and hitting Alyx with a big springboard stunner for good measure!
"Wow, what an amazing move by Rouge!" Cole pointed out.
"Rouge is already cleaning house in this match!" JR replied.
With the move being more than enough to incapacitate Alyx, Rouge decided to do more damage to her by running to the ropes and leaping back again, nailing the resistance soldier with a big Lionsault off the middle rope!
"She's going all out flying, guys!" Tazz smirked.
"That definitely seems that way, Tazz!" Cole nodded in unison.
Rouge took her sweet time to process herself before Coco Bandicoot started to lunge right at him, grounding Rouge really good with hard punch shots straight to the forehead.
"I guess that'll put a stop to her momentum!" JR exclaimed.
"I agree with that, JR." The King nodded, "Coco's doing everything she can to stop her!"
Coco had roughed Rouge long enough for the bat to become groggy right at the ropes.
That was the perfect time for Coco to channel her inner Jon Moxley by running right to the ropes, but as soon as she ran right back though, Rouge recovered fast enough to run right at her and drill Coco right to the floor with a running flatliner!
"So much for trying to stop Rouge!" Tazz replied.
"Yeah, it looks like Coco got stopped instead!" JR nodded with a chuckle.
Meanwhile at another side of the ring, Cammy proceeded to lift up Setsuka for a Samoan Drop before realizing how close was she to the ropes. An idea suddenly went in her head as she dropped Setsuka over the ropes, but Setsuka managed to hang on tightly, keeping her safe for the moment.
"She's still in!" Cole exclaimed.
"Cammy thinks she eliminated her, but didn't!" Tazz shook his head.
Cammy immediately turned around and proceeded to knock Setsuka off the apron, only for Setsuka to grab onto Cammy's head and sent her neck driven right to the ropes.
"Oh, that's a hotshot." The King replied.
"Cammy's gonna have a tough time breathing for sure." JR nodded.
Setsuka attempted to recover for a bit until Candy Cane came running out of nowhere and nailed Setsuka right in the face with a big boot, knocking the umbrella warrior off the apron and onto the floor, eliminating her to a bit of a mixed reaction.
"Whoa, where did she come from?!" Tazz said, gasping out of his seat.
"Don't know, but Setsuka's out either way!" JR shook his head.
"Can't believe I have to say goodbye to those puppies," The King sadly groaned, "This isn't right."
38th Elimination: Setsuka; Eliminated by: Candy Cane; Duration: 21:31
As Setsuka proceeded to leave ringside, the camera scrolled back over to the ring to see both Sonic and Tails attempt a big double team suplex on Doomguy, only to fail in the process after knowing that Doomguy's knees failed to get lifted off the mat.
"Sonic and Tails trying to get Doomguy over." Cole replied.
"Yeah, good luck to that, they're never gonna get him over like that!" Tazz replied as well.
However, the double team attempt soon turned out to be a triple team attempt as both Sonic and Tails looked over to see Rouge The Bat grab Doomguy right by the lower legs. The three nodded over to each other and attempted to get Doomguy over, slamming with an incredible triple team suplex!
"Oh, they got him!" JR exclaimed.
"Hard to believe it took only help from Rouge to get it done!" The King nodded out.
The worst wasn't over for Doomguy just yet.
Once he got up right on his feet, he saw as the trio of Sonic, Tails and Rouge deck him right in the face with a big triple superkick!
"Triple superkick!" Cole shouted loudly.
"And here I thought that triple suplex was horrible for him!" Tazz replied.
With Doomguy dazed for the moment, the crowd all stood up right on their feet and looked over to the stage to see the Rumble clock light up the titantron to the next entrant of this match.
"We got another entrant coming up here in this unique Rumble match!" JR exclaimed as he looked over to the curtain.
10… 9… 8… 7… 6… 5… 4… 3… 2… 1… *BZZT!*
Entrant #65: Agent 47 (Hitman)
Once after the buzzer sounded off, the song "Bad Company" by Five Finger Death Punch began playing around Qualcomm Stadium as a bald-headed man dressed in a black tuxedo with a red tie, and familiar barcode around the back of his head made his way through the curtain to a stellar ovation from the crowd, who were going crazy for this sharp-dressed hitman all over.
"Oh man, I think there's about to be a hit, Cole!" Tazz gulped a little in fear.
"I think you may be right, Tazz!" Michael Cole nodded, "Coming in at 65 is a serious threat in the form of Agent 47 from Hitman!"
"This guy's definitely not to be messed with, and we're about to see why!" The King nodded as well.
Agent 47 finally entered the ring just in time to catch Christie off with a left punch, a right punch and another left punch before he managed to lay her out with a big discus clothesline.
"I guess Christie learned that the hard way!" Tazz said with a chuckle.
"She sure did!" JR nodded to Tazz, "I think that might have rang her brain!"
Samus Aran made an attempt to surprise Agent 47 with a hurricanrana, only for Agent 47 to catch her and hold her upside down much to the awe of the commentators that were watching.
"Uh-oh, bad timing!" Cole gasped loudly.
Still managing to hold her upside down, Agent 47 proceeded to wrap his legs around Samus's arms and dropped down to the mat, slamming her with an epic Styles Clash!
"Agent 47 with the Styles Clash!" Tazz yelled excitingly.
"It was no doubt a brilliant counter for the hitman himself!" JR nodded.
But that wasn't all for Agent 47 though as he then muscled Samus up only to hold her upside down again. He then used his legs to wrap around Samus's arms, hitting yet another Styles Clash!
"Oh, and another one!" Tazz exclaimed in pure amazement.
"I've never seen anyone do a Styles Clash twice, let alone in one single sitting!" shook Cole's head.
J.R. then nodded over to Cole and said, "Well, no doubt you just saw it now!"
Agent 47 was about to get himself up though when all of a sudden, D-Va came out running and blasted the hitman right in the face with a running dropkick, sending him down momentarily!
"Oh, HELLO!" The King heavily yelped.
"Talk about a hell of a drive-by!" Tazz nodded while smirking.
D-Va then proceeded to get Agent 47 right back up on his feet and sent him right to the ropes, only for Agent 47 to counterwhip D-Va over the top rope, yet D-Va managed to hang onto the ropes. But not for long though as Agent 47 kicked D-Va right in the face, knocking her off the apron only for her legs to get wrapped around the middle and lower rope, leaving only her arms to hit across the floor much to the shock and surprise by the fans and commentators themselves!
"And she's gone-wait a minute!" Cole quickly corrected himself.
The King then pointed out quickly, "What the... her feet didn't touch!"
"No kidding, King, her feet got wrapped on the ropes!" JR replied.
The colorful soldier tried her best to wiggle right back up to the apron's ropes, but couldn't due to her being upside down in this near-save elimination position.
However, that all changed for D-Va when both Mei and Widowmaker from Overwatch appeared from under the ring and lifted D-Va's upper body up, rolling her entire body back to the ring to keep her safe from elimination!
"Wait a minute, can they do that?" The King said, pointing out to the two women who helped push D-Va back to the ring.
"I don't really know, King!" Cole shrugged to The King, "I don't think there's anything in the rules that say you can have help from others who aren't in the match!"
"Huh, makes sense." The King nodded.
Meanwhile, as D-Va continued to recover herself around the ropes, Sub-Zero had Xion right from behind as she laid her out with a big German suplex!
"What a big German!" Tazz exclaimed.
Sub-Zero wasn't done yet with Xion though as he then got her in a Full Nelson position, all before flipping her over in a harsh Dragon suplex.
"Now he got her with a big Dragon Suplex!" Cole exclaimed.
"I think Sub-Zero's looking to give her a big trifecta!" JR exclaimed as well.
With Xion dazed from all of the suplexes she took, the Lin Kuei Grandmaster got her right back up on her feet and hooked Xion's arms altogether, flipping her over for a big Tiger suplex!
"And now, a Tiger suplex!" Cole replied.
The King smirked a little under his lips by saying, "I wouldn't be surprised if he goes for a fourth one."
Sub-Zero made sure he was gonna eat the King's words.
And he did just that by picking up Xion right up on her feet and hooking her leg altogether, before flipping her over with a Teardrop suplex.
"No way!" The King gasped in amazement.
"I guess he knew your brain, King!" JR nodded to the King.
"I hate to say it, but I think you're right!" The King nodded back.
As Xion was laid unconscious around the mat, the crowd wasted no time standing up to their feet yet again and looking over to the stage, where the countdown clock appeared on the titantron as it ticked down to it's next entrant.
"This is starting to get fierce, ladies and gents." Tazz replied with calm anticipation, "Let's see who number 66 is gonna be!"
10… 9… 8… 7… 6… 5… 4… 3… 2… 1… *BZZT!*
Entrant #66: Rock Howard (Garou: Mark of the Wolves)
Once the sound of the buzzer rang out, the crowd all popped up to their feet as the song "Bark At The Moon" by Ozzy Osbourne started to play out at the same time a blonde-haired teenager decked out in a velvet red jacket, black tanktop, black jeans and black boots came out through the curtain to a very big pop from the entire crowd!
"Well, this youngster's definitely gonna be in the fighting mood." JR nodded.
"And without a doubt, this youngster entering at #66 is Rock Howard from the Fatal Fury spinoff, Garou: Mark of the Wolves!" Cole exclaimed.
"He's also the son of former Southtown crime lord, Geese Howard and student to his mentor, Terry Bogard, which we'll be seeing later on in this match!" The King exclaimed as well.
After he got right inside the ring, he immediately took off his jacket and threw it right around Corvo Attano's face. The jacket blinded the mysterious hooded hero really good as it led to Rock blinding him with repeatable fist shots straight to the face.
"Whoa, what an interesting tactic by Rock!" Tazz replied.
"I think that definitely helped him!" The King nodded.
The shots occurred for another several seconds before Corvo managed to push Rock away and getting the jacket off of him.
But when he did though, he looked up to see Rock blasting him in the face with a running rocket kick!
"Rock with that incredible Rocket Kick!" Tazz shouted.
"I think he made Corvo eat a lot more than his words!" JR chuckled a bit.
The kick managed to make Corvo stunned a bit, especially when he got right back up.
And he got back up to see both Jin Kazama and Soma Cruz rush right at him, decking him with a double clothesline that sent him over the top rope and onto the floor, eliminating him to a bunch of cheers right away!
"There goes Corvo Attano!" Cole exclaimed.
"I think the dishonored just got discharged out of this Rumble, Cole!" The King pointed out.
39th Elimination: Corvo Attano; Eliminated by: Jin Kazama and Soma Cruz; Duration: 1:01:21
Meanwhile, as Rock Howard was busy building up momentum in the Rumble match, the camera scrolled around to see Johnny Cage search inside one of the weapon-filled garbage cans. He managed to search all around until his hand suddenly latched into something very glass-like. It wasn't until he dug that object out of the bin and brought out what seemed to be an Assist Trophy from the Super Smash Bros. series!
"Hang up, Johnny Cage's got an assist trophy!" Tazz said with a big gulp on his throat.
The King then nodded in relief, "He's definitely gonna need something to help him out, that's for sure!"
"Hmmmmm, what on earth am I supposed to do with this?" Cage asked himself, holding the object out of confusion.
But then, the assist trophy opened right up around Cage's eyes, revealing it to be a baby blue-colored turtle with a familiar red shell known exactly as Squirtle from the PokeMon series. The crowd immediately broke out in a big round of cheers, chanting out "Squirtle" repeatedly in the process!
"Look at that, guys!" Tazz pointed out quickly, "I think Cage has got his own personal helper!"
"And in the form of Squirtle no less!" Cole nodded.
Without wasting any time at all, Squirtle went right to work on the competition by blasting a big torrential wave of water, knocking out Candy Cane, Trish and Christie Monteiro in the process!
"Squirtle's going on full-blast!" The King smirked.
"And those girls just got a full taste of it!" JR nodded as well.
The next target Squirtle approached next was Sub Zero, who immediately hit Rouge The Bat with a wicked Yakuza Kick.
He suddenly turned around to see Squirtle shaking his tail in an intimidating way, which didn't please Sub-Zero at all.
"Um, I wouldn't do that if I were you, Squirtle!" Tazz shook his head.
With his knuckles cracking loud as ever, Sub-Zero attempted to charge right at him, only for Squirtle to slide under Sub Zero and shot a big blast of water right through his mouth, which managed to freeze Sub-Zero right by his feet leaving him unable to move!
"What an unexpected move from Squirtle!" JR exclaimed.
"Cage definitely got himself good help, and look how it's going well for him!" Tazz exclaimed as well.
Sub-Zero attempted to escape by trying to break out of the ice just by using his feet, but once he did though, Johnny Cage came out running and delivered a big running superkick to knock the Lin Kuei grandmaster right down the mat!
"Excellent shot from Mr. Cage!" Cole smirked out.
"Who knew that little guy packed a lot of punch?" The King smirked as well, "And here I thought turtles were only good for go-karts!"
Johnny Cage found himself being impressed by the water-possessed Squirtle so much that he squatted down to the PokeMon himself and smirked out with his sudden Hollywood charm.
"You totally rocked it, water dude." He replied with a wink, "How about a high-five for your new favorite buddy?"
"Squirtle! Squirtle!" Squirtle nodded in response. ("Of course! You got me out of the case!")
And then, just to seal the deal, the two found themselves high-fiving once another much to another big pop from the San Diego crowd!
"Now that's quite a combo!" The King smirked with anticipation.
"Cage has definitely got himself an ace in the hole!" JR nodded.
However, the pop soon died down once Rock Howard came from behind and used the back of the jacket to blindfold Johnny Cage, which forced him to swing right at the air nonsensically much to the laughter of everyone watching at ringside.
"Oh come on, that ain't fair!" The King groaned, not liking this scene at all.
"What can I say, King? Anything can happen in this Royal Rumble!" Cole shrugged to The King.
Cage, still blindfolded as ever, strugglingly replied, "Hey, someone get this the hell off of me! I can't even see shit!"
As Johnny Cage was still swinging away and wandering around the ring like an idiot, the entire crowd all stood up on their seats once more and looked toward the titantron, where the Rumble clock popped up to tick down to the next entrant in the match!
"Look alive, everyone, we got the next entrant coming down here!" Tazz said as he looked right to the curtain.
10… 9… 8… 7… 6… 5… 4… 3… 2… 1… *BZZT!*
Entrant #67: Captain Falcon (F-Zero)
Right after the buzzer sounded off, the entire Mute City theme from F-Zero began playing in full blast as the Blue Falcon (the vehicle, not the superhero) started to ride through the curtain in full speed and right down the aisle. Once it stopped right at ringside, the hood popped open to reveal a man dressed in a purplish blue suit and decked out with a full red helmet riding inside!
"Now here's one heck of a speedfreak coming in!" The King smirked out.
"And it's in the form of our next entrant, Captain Falcon from F-Zero!" JR nodded.
"I hear he's quite the favorite to play in the Smash Bros. series!" Tazz nodded also before replying, "What are the chances we're gonna see a Falcon Punch?"
"I'd say pretty good, Tazz!" Cole said with a wink.
Once he got out of his vehicle, Captain Falcon appeared right at the apron and waited for Ryu Hayabusa to turn right around. When he did, the male bounty hunter used the ropes to fly in the air and nail the ninja with a big springboard clothesline!
"What a way to enter this match!" JR exclaimed.
"Definitely got his target right where he wanted him!" The King replied.
Captain Falcon was just getting himself started in this match, especially when he dodged a roaring elbow from Soma Cruz just by ducking down.
In response, Captain Falcon managed to counter with a single gut kick, followed by a big Leg Drop Bulldog!
"Falcon dropping that big fameasser!" Tazz pointed out.
"He definitely saw that one coming!" The King nodded.
Xion tried her best to stop Captain Falcon herself by leaping up and catching him with a jumping DDT, only for Captain Falcon to use his inner strength to hold the Organization XIII member right up in the air. It wouldn't be for long though as Captain Falcon soon dropped her to the mat with a vicious flapjack!
"Welp, that didn't go well for Xion!" Cole shook his head.
"You mean the landing that she took or the leaping DDT she failed in?" Tazz asked Cole directly.
"Both sounds nice in my opinion, Tazz!" Cole said, nodding to Tazz.
Xion managed to get right on top of her knees, only to look up and see Captain Falcon wind his arm up to the side and bring out a surge of energy forming around that same arm of his. This definitely spelled bad news for her as she attempted to get her nerves back and escape.
Alas, it was too late for her though as Captain Falcon yelled out two familiar words for everyone in San Diego to hear:
"FALCON PUNCH!"
Before anyone knew it, Captain Falcon delivered a big Falcon Punch to Xion in which the impact was so hard, it sent Xion flying right to the upper right turnbuckle and knocked out right to the mat in record speed!
"Oh my gawd!" JR shrieked.
"How in the hell is that girl not having whiplash right now?!" Tazz shrieked as well.
The King shrugged his shoulders before saying, "Don't know, but I do know one thing: That was one hell of a Falcon Punch she took!"
As Captain Falcon was building up momentum of his own, so was Cloud as he managed to catch Agent 47 out of nowhere with a Discus Big Boot.
"Well, that was a wakeup call!" Tazz smirked.
"And I bet that woke Agent 47 up!" The King nodded.
The hit didn't really knock him out though, but it did leave him stunned long enough for Cloud to get him into suplex position right away. But instead of dropping the hitman with a usual suplex, Cloud immediately drilled him right on his head with a painful brainbuster!
"Oh, brainbuster!" Cole heavily cringed.
"That's gonna be one major headache for Agent 47!" Tazz nodded.
Cloud wouldn't be quite done yet with Agent 47 though as he hung onto the hitman's head and flipped his body backwards, trapping Agent 47 in a surprising Guillotine Choke! The crowd all popped as Cloud locked into that hold as long as he could, compressing the hitman's entire brain which started to make him lose a bit of consciousness.
"Guillotine! Cloud locks in that guillotine!" JR exclaimed.
"Once again, it still won't get him eliminated, but he'll lose consciousness enough to be thrown over!" Tazz shook his head.
"That could definitely be Cloud's intention!" Cole nodded to Tazz.
Cloud locked in that hold for a good twenty seconds until Doomguy finally cut the ex-soldier off with a running shining wizard, knocking him out and letting Agent 47 go.
"Doomguy coming right to the rescue!" Tazz pointed out.
"Yeah, I never thought he'd do something to help out someone so dangerous like him!" The King said, referring to Doomguy.
Cloud wasn't the only contestant in trouble though, as Samus continued to have problems of her very own with Rock Howard. The youngster proceeded to place her upside down with a tree of woe over to the lower right turnbuckle, but not without using his signature jacket to wrap her feet around the turnpost of course!
"That's something you don't see every day!" JR replied.
"She's definitely ain't gonna find no way to escape from this one!" Tazz said, shaking his head.
Whatever Tazz said was definitely right. Samus tried to escape just by struggling, but with her legs being tied thanks to Rock's jacket, she couldn't get it.
Rock Howard used this to his advantage as he went to the opposite corner (which was the lower left side of the turnbuckle), and climbed right up bringing the fans to their feet in anticipation of what would happen next. With Samus nowhere to go at all, Rock leaped off the top and crashed down on the bounty hunter's face with a crushing Coast-to-Coast dropkick!
"MY GAWD!" J.R. shrieked!
"You could be right, JR!" Tazz nodded, "That boy went Coast-to-Coast all over Samus!"
"I got a feeling that could be better than Shane McMahon's version!" The King exclaimed, agreeing with Tazz for the moment.
All of the San Diego faithful repeatedly started up a "Holy Shit" chant over and over again in response to this unbelievable spot that Rock had pulled off. The chants didn't last long though as they kept themselves out of their seat and looked over to the stage, where the Rumble clock started up again for the next entrant that was about to come in this match.
"This is turning very tense now, guys." Cole replied, "Who will come out as the next entrant in this match?"
10… 9… 8… 7… 6… 5… 4… 3… 2… 1… *BZZT!*
Entrant #68: Jack Carver (Far Cry)
Right as the buzzer sounded off yet again, the crowd were treated to the tune of Saxon's "Ride Like The Wind" (yes, it's a Christopher Cross cover) playing in the soundsystem as a man dressed in a red Hawaiian shirt, denim vest, tanned jeans and black combat boots started racing through the curtain and down the aisle to a screaming legion of fans.
"Looks like someone's finally off the island." Tazz smirked.
"And heading to our Rumble too, Tazz!" JR exclaimed, "This man entering at #68 is the first protagonist from the Far Cry games, Jack Carver!"
"I'm very interested to see what he's gonna do here in this match!" Cole exclaimed as well.
Once he finally got inside the ring, he cleaned house right away by catching Marth with a good left hook, followed to two more left hooks before cracking Marth good in the mouth with a big windup punch!
"Jack Carver raising some hell here!" Tazz pointed out.
"And he did just that all over Marth!" Cole nodded, agreeing with Tazz.
Jack's momentum was suddenly halted out of nowhere once he turned around to get hit with a double gut kick by both Byleth and Dorothea. The two then proceeded to wrap the survivors arms around their heads and attempted to lift Jack up with a double suplex. Thankfully, Jack knew his instincts very well as he managed to hook his leg around Byleth's, leaving him unable to be lifted.
"Byleth and Dorothea trying to lift him up off the mat." JR replied.
"They definitely won't get the job done with Jack's leg hooked around like that." Tazz pointed out once more.
The duo attempted to lift Jack up once more, but all it got them instead was Jack countering the attempted double team maneuver with a double DDT of his own!
"Double DDT!" Cole shouted.
"That definitely didn't go well for Byleth and Dorothea!" The King shook his head.
Meanwhile, as Jack was trying to get himself settled into the ring, both Sonic and Tails were at the upper left turnbuckle stomping a double mudhole all over Iori Yagami's entire chest, beating down the red-haired maniac for a good 12 seconds.
"I'm gonna say it's not going well for Iori either!" JR replied while shaking his head too.
"This crowd doesn't matter to be honest!" Tazz replied, "They absolutely love seeing Iori get his ass handed to him for once!"
After they were done roughing Iori up, the two sent Iori running to the opposite corner before Sonic got down on all fours, signaling another Poetry In Motion.
But as soon as Tails took off running, Iori quickly recovered and hopped on Sonic's back, blasting Tails apart with a huge jumping clothesline!
"Ohhh, so much for teamwork!" The King yelped.
"Iori definitely put an end to that right away!" JR shook his head.
The clothesline Tails took was definitely more than enough to get him dazed. That was what Iori needed to grab him right by the fox's own two-tails, all before throwing the youngster over the top rope and onto the floor, eliminating him to a rip-roaring shower of boos.
"Tails is out! Tails is eliminated!" Cole exclaimed.
"Crap, and I thought he was doing good too!" Tazz groaned, obviously disappointed with the elimination of Tails.
"Iori made sure he didn't, and he definitely did!" JR nodded.
40th Elimination: Tails; Eliminated by: Iori Yagami; Duration: 15:22
Sonic noticed what happened to his partner right away, forcing him to strike Iori only for the maniac to claw the blue speedster right by his face, scratching it very hard in response!
"Oh, right on the face!" Cole replied.
"Talk about desperate measures, Cole." The King groaned in anger.
That dirty tactic proved to be more than enough for Iori to grab him right by his blue fur and toss him over the top rope and onto the floor, eliminating him to much hate from the entire San Diego crowd.
"Damn it, not Sonic too!" Tazz groaned once again.
"I'm afraid it is, Tazz!" JR nodded.
"I got no idea who the heck is gonna stop him now!" The King said, shrugging his shoulders.
41st Elimination: Sonic The Hedgehog; Eliminated by: Iori Yagami; Duration: 1:06:31
With both Sonic and Tails laying asleep on the floor, Iori decided to take his sweet precious time talking down to him from the comfort of his own ring.
"You two pathetic pieces of scum can't stop me!" Iori shouted to the fallen duo, "That million dollars is mine, you hear me? And don't you pitiful worms forget-"
Iori never completed that sentence though as Coco Bandicoot snuck up right behind him with a school boy, only for Iori stand up on his knees while Coco began to deliver a superkick. The foot didn't face though as Iori managed to catch it right away, leaving Coco hopping for her life while seeing Iori seethe in pure anger.
"You're gonna pay for getting in my way, you pathetic bandicoot bitch!" The red-haired emo growled.
"Oh no, I think Coco's gonna regret that!" Tazz shook his head.
The King then growled in anger himself, "C'mon, anybody but Coco!"
Before Iori could do something so savage to Coco though, he was cut off by YunSeong, who hit Iori with a hard Trouble In Paradise!
"YunSeong with the Trouble In Paradise!" Cole exclaimed.
"That definitely bought Coco enough time!" The King said, sighing in relief.
YunSeong looked to pick Iori up right on his feet, but as he did though, Iori quickly managed to turn him upside down and plant the hot-headed Korean right by his head with a vicious Tombstone Piledriver!
"Down goes YunSeong!" JR pointed out.
"I'm thinking he paid for that act of heroism!" Tazz nodded.
"Well, what on earth was he gonna do?" The King shrugged to Tazz, "There was no way he was gonna see Coco get ripped to shreds by this sicko!"
As YunSeong spent a good portion recovering on the mat, the entire crowd all stood up out of their seats once more and looked toward to the stage, seeing the Rumble clock light up the titantron yet again for the 69th entrant to appear.
"We got another entrant coming down the ring right now!" Cole pointed to the curtain.
10… 9… 8… 7… 6… 5… 4… 3… 2… 1… *BZZT!*
Entrant #69: Ezio Auditore (Assassin's Creed)
After the buzzer started sounding out all across the stadium, the lights dimmed a little only to shine somewhere across the left portion of the audience stands where a man dressed in a hooded white coat with brown boots came out running down the stands and around ringside, much to a big round of cheers coming from the crowd themselves!
"Oh, this is gonna be quite something, Cole!" Tazz pointed out.
"Especially now that Ezio Auditore from the Assassins Creed series is now in the Rumble match!" Cole nodded.
"I've heard he can be quite a dangerous competitor, especially in the air!" JR exclaimed, "So it'll be interesting to see how his assassin skills will fare in this match!"
Once he finally entered the ring though, the first target Ezio went after was Soma Cruz, who got hit with a hard left kick, followed by another hard left kick before Ezio got him good with a spinning back kick right to the guts!
"Look at Ezio tear it up!" The King smirked with satisfaction.
"I'll say, he's tearing Soma alive with those kicks!" JR said with a single nod.
Ezio wasn't quite done with Soma yet as the assassin found the vampire-hunter down on his knees.
He used this to his advantage as Ezio ran right to the ropes and back again, hitting Soma with a Booker T-like scissors kick!
"Ezio with the scissor kick!" Cole pointed out.
"That kind of kick would definitely make Booker T's axe kick look like garbage!" The King replied.
Tazz then nodded over to the King, "I'll definitely tell Booker you said that then, King."
Ezio got right back up, only to be surprised by Alyx Vance, who snuck from behind just by hopping on top of his shoulders in a surprising Electric Chair position!
"Whoa, Ezio's momentum may not last long here!" JR shook his head.
Trying to attempt a hurricanrana instead, Alyx managed to spin herself around only for Ezio to drop her face onto the mat, countering it with a big alleyoop instead!
"Down goes Alyx!" Cole shouted.
"No doubt Ezio outsmarted her one step forward!" Tazz nodded.
Seeing the resistance fighter right down on her knees, Ezio then proceeded by knocking Alyx right out by hitting her with a big basement back kick right to the side of the head!
"My gawd!" JR shrieked a little bit.
"I think that just rang my ears!" The King chuckled.
Tazz then nodded, "Mine too! I think I may need a Q-tip though."
As Ezio continued his momentum in the match like every other competitor was doing, the camera quickly scrolled around to see Coco Bandicoot grabbing Christie from behind and sending her running to the ropes in hopes to get her with an O'Connor Roll German Suplex. However, Christie had other plans though as she managed to hang onto the ropes, forcing Coco to roll herself backwards. That didn't stop for her though as Coco proceeded to go after her with a clothesline, only for Christie to lower down the ropes, sending Coco over the ropes yet managed to hang on tightly around the ropes, keeping her safe.
"And Coco's... still in!" Cole sighed in relief.
"She was definitely wise to hang in there!" Tazz nodded.
Coco managed to hang onto the apron for a little while until Christie managed to surprise Crash's sister with a running enzugiri that knocked her off the apron and onto the floor, eliminating her from this matchup completely.
"Well, not anymore she's not!" The King shook her head, "Coco's going going gone!"
"It definitely seems that way after that big enzugiri she took!" JR nodded.
42nd Elimination: Coco Bandicoot; Eliminated by: Christie Monteiro; Duration: 17:28
Christie managed to recover from all the stress she had been going in this Rumble match, but it didn't last long once she felt Sub-Zero grab her from behind. He then managed to spin Christie around, catching her with a bone-crushing Bearhug for good measure!
"Whoa, excellent transition!" Tazz chuckled, obviously impressed by that move Sub-Zero did.
"Sub-Zero definitely not giving Christie one ounce of rest there." JR replied.
Cole then nodded out in unison, "With that bearhug Sub-Zero's locking in, I think that's saying much!"
Sub-Zero wouldn't have that move for long though as he latched onto Christie and sent her flying to the mat with a big overhead belly-to-belly suplex!
"What a wonderful overhead belly-to-belly suplex!" JR exclaimed.
"I guarantee you that wasn't wonderful for Christie to take!" The King shook his head.
Meanwhile, as Christie started reeling from the effects of that suplex, the camera shifted across to see Cammy White lock in quite a grounded headlock to Candy Cane, who felt her own entire body start to lose consciousness around her.
"Cammy's got that intense headlock locked in!" Cole replied.
It wouldn't be just any other ordinary headlock though as Cammy managed to stand right on her head, transitioning a ground headlock into a headstand headlock which left the crowd counting their asses off to see how long Cammy was holding onto Candy Cane while she was upside down in a headstand position.
"Look at that!" The King quickly pointed out.
"How on earth was Cammy able to do something like that anyway?" Tazz asked the The King.
Jerry found himself shrugging his shoulders and saying, "Maybe she's been watching a lot of Dolph Ziggler matches in her spare time!"
"Ah, so that must be it." Tazz nodded back to the Memphis legend.
She managed to stand on her head for a good fifteen seconds before Cammy got herself down.
But when the Delta Red soldier did though, Candy Cane managed to recover quickly and get herself back on her feet, nailing a big back suplex all over Cammy!
"Nice back suplex by the rebellious schoolgirl!" JR replied.
"Cammy definitely wasn't expecting that from her!" Tazz shook his head furiously.
Candy Cane soon got back up only to get clipped from behind by Iori, who smashed his forehead deep inside the back of her neck much to the distaste of fans watching.
"And there's Iori butting in yet again." The King groaned.
"You definitely had to expect that from Iori one way or another." Cole groaned as well.
"Aw come on, Iori!" Tazz groaned in disgust, "That's no way to treat a lady!"
But then, just to make matters worse for Candy Cane, Iori managed to wrap her arms from behind and place his foot right on the back of the schoolgirl's head, threatening to curb stomp her head right into the mat just to raise more ire from the fans.
"Damn it, this is just too much!" The King shrilled out of anger.
"Someone's gotta do something about this!" Tazz yelped.
"Hopefully, someone who may be coming in next may be of some use!" JR nodded, "Either way, I can't even watch!"
With Iori continuing to use Candy Cane as a human dummy, the crowd quickly rose up out of their feet and looked toward the titantron, where the Rumble clock started to tick down to the next entrant in t-minus 12… 11...
10… 9… 8… 7… 6… 5… 4… 3… 2… 1… *BZZT!*
After the buzzer sounded for the thousandth time tonight, the song "Down With The King" by RUN-DMC began to play around Qualcomm Stadium, leaving fans anticipating in wonder of who could be entering this song. This song was definitely more than enough for Iori to let go of Candy Cane and confront this entrant who was about to make his way through the curtain momentarily. (I swear the buzzer is starting to become annoying as time goes on)
"Hmmm, who on earth could that be?" Tazz asked himself.
"Don't know, but whatever it is, it's sure getting Iori's attention right now!" JR nodded.
But then all of a sudden, a round of San Diego Charger cheerleaders began making their way through the curtain, forming two separate lines that lasted from the stage and down the aisle. They proceeded to shake their pom-poms back and forth all before the camera got a good look at the next entrant's upper and lower body, which was identified as a red tanktop, bullet-like suspenders, black jeans and brown boots. Once the pom-poms began to separate, the camera got a good look at the man that was simply known as...
Entrant #70: Duke Nukem
"Hey guys, you know what it's time to do right now?" Tazz asked his broadcast partners.
"It's time to hail to the king, Tazz!" The King exclaimed, "Duke Nukem has arrived!"
"If there's anyone who can stop Iori Yagami and his chaos, no doubt it's gotta be Duke!" JR nodded.
"And this crowd is definitely on their feet!" Cole nodded as well.
Duke Nukem started to walk down that aisle full of parting cheerleaders, staring down at Iori with such a death stare that was making Iori's insides shiver with such uncertain intentions. Iori on the other hand wasn't affected by this at all as he started to crack his knuckles with a single snap.
"What must Iori be thinking staring him down from inside the ring?" Tazz asked yet again.
"If I was him, I'd think to myself that I'd finally meet my match!" JR replied to Tazz.
After taking that very patient walk down at ringside, Duke managed to enter the ring in such an intimidating way, forcing Iori to confront him close up in quite an epic face-off. Duke wasn't affected by Iori's heartless demeanor, which only made the flat-topped muscleman lay out quite a competitive smirk.
"Pathetic scum like you make me sick." Iori said, sneering very angrily at Duke, "Your whole presence sickens me. Your face sickens me. Your smile sickens me. I'm about to end it right now, along with your stupid life."
Duke then chuckled out before saying, "A bastard like you sure has fighting words. I bet you kiss that mother with that foul-looking mouth of yours, you stupid-looking pissass."
The insult that Duke gave him forced Iori to use his hand and latch it right on his neck, choking Duke out of nowhere.
"Oh, that done did it now!" Tazz gulped.
"That definitely didn't sit well with Iori!" Cole shook his head.
"Oh no," The King gulped in fear. "This can't be good for Duke."
Thankfully, Duke Nukem was about to put the King's worries away as he used his hand to choke Iori as well, therefore leading to a big tug-of-war battle to happen between both Iori and Duke Nukem. This crowd got up right on their feet, cheering this little scene off mostly because they were on Duke's side in this intense showdown.
"Hold up, something's happening!" JR quickly pointed out.
"Duke's fighting back!" Tazz shouted, "Definitely a lot of strength left in him!"
"Hopefully, it may be enough to rough Iori in the long run!" The King nodded.
The tug-of-war happened for a good 20 seconds before Samus Aran, Sonya Blade and Johnny Cage all started to hit away at Iori Yagami with repeatable punch shots to the face. The blows only managed to enrage Iori to the point where he split the pile immediately, only to look up and get hit with a big boot, courtesy of Duke Nukem!
"Big boot! Iori's down!" JR pointed out again.
"It took a while, but Duke's got Iori's guard down!" Tazz nodded.
With Iori finally down on the mat, Duke managed to instruct Samus, Johnny and Sonya to go right after the red-haired grunt, which they did by getting Iori back up to his feet. Before anyone knew it, the foursome of Duke Nukem, Johnny Cage, Sonya Blade and Samus Aran all lifted Iori over the top rope and dropped him all the way down the ringside floor, bringing in a shockwave full of cheers that were happy to finally see him go, especially from the commentary team themselves!
"Oh, finally!" The King sighed in relief.
"Finally is right! Iori Yagami has been eliminated from the Rumble!" JR shouted.
"Yeah, and good riddance too!" Cole nodded, "I thought we'd never see him leave!"
43rd Elimination: Iori Yagami; Eliminated by: Duke Nukem, Johnny Cage, Sonya Blade and Samus Aran; Duration: 23:32
Iori soon got up to his feet, only to hear the "Na Na Na Na, Hey Hey Hey, Goodbye" chants directed right at him. Those chants began to get louder and louder as seconds went on in this Royal Rumble match. Plugging his ears with his hands didn't help him much either.
This kind of heat from the fans forced Iori to go into rage mode as the red-haired maniac started to punch out referee after referee, surprising the commentators themselves.
"Hey, what the hell was that for?!" JR groaned.
"Iori has no right to do that to an official!" The King pointed out.
"I agree too, King!" Tazz nodded before replying, "He just got himself fined hard!"
The referees weren't the only thing Iori took his rage out on. He then went over to one of the timekeepers down at ringside and struck him right in the face with a vicious, violent big boot!
"Damn it, not the timekeeper!" Cole groaned loudly.
"What the hell is wrong with you, you sonuvabitch!?" JR shouted to Iori, who turned around to face the Oklahoman himself.
Before Iori could approach him in the announcer's table, a group full of security men managed to leap right behind Iori and tackled him right to the ground, trying to constrain him from doing more damage to everyone around ringside.
"Oh, about time!" The King said while rolling his eyes.
"That guy's a damn maniac!" Tazz yelped.
JR then nodded in pure sanity, "One that deserves to be in a mental hospital, I'm sure!"
"Get off of me, you no-good worms!" Iori said to the security, who got a tight hold on him.
With Iori unable to escape the security's clutches for the time being, the rest of the San Diego crowd all looked toward the stage once more to see the Rumble clock light up yet again for the next entrant that was about to enter the match.
"We all got another one coming down here, guys!" Tazz pointed to the curtain, "Who's it gonna be?"
