Entrant #101: Morrigan Aensland (DarkStalkers)
As the buzzer sounded for the 100th time of the night, the crowd all heard the sound of "Girls, Girls, Girls" by Motley Crue blasting through the soundspeakers as an attractive teal-haired woman with long hair, voluptuous figure, black one piece with dark pink leggings, black high-heeled boots, and bat wings on the top of her head came out to a brilliant response from the entire male demographic sitting at ringside right now.
Both Tazz and The King took a big shine to this mysterious entrant, keeping their eyes on her mostly on her delectable cleavage.
"All right, we got more puppies!" The King smirked, "Heck, I think they're a great pair of bat-puppies if you ask me!"
"Well, our next entrant is actually a succubus from the Darkstalkers franchise, King!" Cole said to the King, "And she goes by the name of Morrigan Aensland!"
"Then how come she's got bat wings on her head?" Tazz shrugged out.
"Not that I know of, Tazz." JR shrugged back to Tazz, "But one thing is certain, she plans to seduce this entire competition!"
After taking in that long sexy strut down the aisle, Morrigan got right inside the ring and stood next to the one man Morrigan was looking at right now: Johnny Cage. Apparently, he stopped what he was doing and saw the succubus get inside the ring and give him a flirtatious wink.
"Well, ain't you quite a heartthrob, huh?" Morrigan chuckled to him.
"Yep, they all say so, honey." Johnny Cage smirked back, "And I gotta say, that walk down that aisle was definitely sex-ay, sweetheart."
The King liked what he was seeing from this scene, forcing him to smirk, "Looks like Morrigan's taking a liking to Cage!"
"Good lord, King!" JR groaned in disgust, "I think everyone knows how this is gonna end!"
Tazz groaned to JR as he said, "C'mon, quit being a sore ass, JR! What's the worst that can happen?"
"Seriously, Tazz?" Cole said rolling his eyes, "Do you not see how unpredictable the rumble tonight has been?"
Enjoying the actor's company all to herself, Morrigan then decided to ask Cage for a favor by saying, "So, now that I'm meeting you for the first time, you want to see some of my… 'acting' skills right in the back…?"
Smirking like a goofy schoolboy, Cage nodded as he said, "Well, that's quite an interesting offer, ma'am. So my answer is-"
Unfortunately, Cage would not give her that answer though as Sophitia Alexandra dropkicked Morrigan right into Johnny Cage, forcing her head to collide with his in a bit of a head-on collision!
"Wha… oh, come on!" The King whined.
"That's definitely not fair," Tazz shook his head, "I wanted to see those acting skills of hers!"
"I bet neither of them are quite family-friendly, I assume!" JR shook his head.
Morrigan was allegedly pissed at the blonde-haired greek for cutting her interaction with Cage off. In fact, she was so pissed that she tried to take a swing at Sophitia, only for the blonde to duck down and lift the succubus up from behind, forcing Morrigan's spine to get slammed on Sophitia's knee with a big atomic drop!
"Oh, got it right in the tush, Cole!" Tazz pointed out.
"Morrigan definitely getting a rough start here in the Rumble!" Cole replied.
Morrigan found her hips hurting from the attack, forcing her to move to the ropes and recover. As she was doing so however, she saw Sophitia running right towards her, trying to attempt a clothesline in order to get Morrigan eliminated early.
But the beautiful succubus managed to outsmart Sophitia one step further by catching the greek by surprise, lifting her up with a back body drop that sent Sophitia over the top rope and onto the floor, eliminating her to big cheers from the crowd!
"Well, someone's getting a trip back to Athens!" The King groaned in defeat.
"And Morrigan made sure she got a first-class seat!" JR nodded.
"That right there marks Morrigan's first elimination tonight!" Cole pointed out.
71st Elimination: Sophitia Alexandra; Eliminated by: Morrigan Aensland; Duration: 23:26
Right after Sophitia took her leave from ringside, the camera zoomed to the left where Duke Nukem was busy searching under the weapon-filled trash can. After seconds of searching though, Duke pulled out what seemed to be a six-pack full of Miller Lite beer, which made the muscleman smirk with delight.
"Well, looks like it's Miller time tonight, guys!" Tazz smirked out juicily.
"Duke definitely having a good time here at the Video Game All-Star Royal Rumble and so are we!" JR exclaimed.
The King then shouted over to Duke from the commentary table, "Hey, throw a beer over to me!"
"I don't think Duke's gonna hear you, King!" Cole exclaimed to the King.
Before Duke could open up a beer from one of the plastic rings though, he was soon cut off by Marshall Law, who was approaching him while trying to keep his breath from all of the fighting.
"Man, it's getting rough out there..." Marshall said to himself before looking up to Duke with the beers in hand, "Hey, you gonna hand me a beer? I'm thirsty."
"Sure, no problem!" Duke nodded as he popped a beer open just to give to Law alone.
The two men then proceeded to drink down their beers, Stone Cold Steve Austin-style, much to the delight of this ecstatic San Diego crowd who all wanted to see a mini-beer bash here in the Rumble.
"Well, I'm not sure if I condone beer-drinking here in the Rumble, but anything goes here in the Rumble!" JR exclaimed with a smirk.
"It's not fair," The King groaned, "They didn't give me a beer!"
Before the two men could come finish their beers though, they were instantly cut off by Lloyd, who immediately threw a chair at the two of them which resulted in both Duke and Law falling down with their beer joining them down the mat. This kind of scene wasn't taking too lightly to the fans, who booed loudly to Lloyd in response.
"You definitely won't get to, King!" Cole shook his head to the Hall-of-Famer, "Looks like Lloyd just crashed their beer party!"
"Yeesh! Talk about a party pooper, huh Cole?" Tazz said to Cole.
Lloyd wasn't quite finished with that beer bash though as the silver haired bastard himself decided to end that little beer party both Duke and Law where having with themselves.
He took the four-pack of canned Miller Lites and threw them away out of the ring, much to more boos from the audience.
"Oh, great." The King groaned, "Not also is he ruining this Rumble, but worse than that, he just got rid of the beer!"
"No use of drinking that now unfortunately!" Tazz shook his head.
As Lloyd continued the raise the ire of this angry pissed off crowd, the San Diego faithful inside Qualcomm Stadium all turned to the stage, where the Rumble clock soon lit up the titantron to its next entrant in the match.
"Well, the beer party may be over, but the next entrant's party may start to begin!" Cole exclaimed, "Just who will be the next entrant coming out?"
10… 9… 8… 7… 6… 5… 4… 3… 2… 1… *BZZT!*
Entrant #102: Cid Highwind (Final Fantasy VII)
Once that familiar buzzer hit for a good 101st time, the song "Flight Of Icarus" by Iron Maiden began blasting through the sound system as a middle-aged man (right around 32 years old) with blonde hair, five-o'clock shadow, eye goggles around his forehead, white shirt that was covered by a blue shirt vest, brown gloves, olive jeans and brown boots came out to another stellar pop from the crowd. What completed his look however wasn't just his signature spear he was carrying, but he also had a cigarette in his mouth that he blew smoke into before taking that run down the aisle.
"I think somebody's about to smoke the competition here, JR!" The King said, pointing out to the next entrant.
"You could be right, King!" JR nodded, "And our 101st entrant of the night, Cid Highwind from Final Fantasy VII, is gonna show who's the real pilot in this ring!"
"I agree," Tazz nodded as well, "I got a good feeling he's about to take flight!"
And no doubt, Tazz's words would definitely come true once Cid clutched onto his spear tightly.
Using his own weapon, Cid used the spear to pole vault him right inside the ring, making people stand up to their feet with a big gigantic pop!
"Whoa, no way!" The King shrieked with excitement.
"A nice creative way for Cid to enter the ring!" Cole nodded.
Lloyd was looking to ruin Cid's fun by attempting to strike him, but the pilot of the Highwind himself thought quickly as he ducked and struck Lloyd right in the ribs with a spear, followed by using that same spear to sweep him right by his legs!
"Cid's starting out strong here!" Tazz exclaimed.
"He definitely did just that by taking Lloyd off his feet, that's for sure!" JR nodded to Tazz.
Axel Stone attempted to swat that spear away from Cid for himself, but the chain-smoking pilot of course took a grip on his favorite weapon, therefore leading to a big of a tug-of-war between Axel and Cid.
"Looks like there's a tug-of-war going down here!" Cole pointed out.
"I think Axel's looking to make a big steal, Cole!" Tazz suggested to Cole.
However, Cid wasn't gonna let that happen though as the pilot of the Highwind managed to boot Axel right in the gut, all before slamming that spear of his right into the back of Axel, knocking him down.
"Yeah, I don't think that's gonna happen at all, Tazz!" JR said, shaking his head to Tazz.
"I'm thinking that spear must be closer to Cid than his airships!" Cole replied.
The King nodded to Cole before saying, "Heck, probably his cigarettes too!"
With the momentum still building on his side, Cid looked around to see Squall trying so hard to desperately get Marshall Law over the top rope in order to eliminate him. Knowing that he had to do the right thing and all, Cid rushed right over to Squall and attempted to double team Law in order to make it a two-on-one elimination process.
"They got Law right where they want him!" Tazz pointed out.
"They're Final Fantasy folk, Tazz!" Cole replied to the ECW legend, "So you'll have to expect them teaming up one way or another!"
Law attempted to hang onto the ropes for as long as he could, but it was to no avail as he felt one of his hands slip off the ropes, which was perfect for both Cloud and Squall to get the martial artist over the top rope and onto the floor!
"Well, his Kung Fu Fighting days are over!" The King smirked.
"And so is his time in the Rumble too!" JR nodded, "Game over for Marshall Law!"
72nd Elimination: Marshall Law; Eliminated by: Cid Highwind and Squall Leonhart; Duration: 23:39
Right after Law took his disappointing leave from ringside, the camera shifted to the upper right side of the ring where Helena Douglas and Cloud Strife hit Jin Kazama with a double dropkick that forced him to tumble towards the ropes, getting tied up in the process.
"Big double dropkick from Helena and Cloud!" Cole exclaimed.
"Yeah, but that of course got Jin trapped in the process!" Tazz pointed out.
With Jin's entire arms and shoulders trapped around the ropes, this forced both Helena and Cloud to stomp on Jin's ribs repeatedly, hitting him around ten times in order to rough him up even more.
"Jin's in a whole lot of trouble there." The King pointed out as well.
"No doubt Helena and Cloud got the upper hand all over him." JR nodded.
The two then proceeded to lift his legs off the mat in attempt to throw him over, only for Cloud to use his footpower to push both Helena and Cloud off of him. Once they got back up though, they got back up only for Jin to retreat to the apron and hop on the ropes, only to be caught by an RKO out of nowhere courtesy of D-Va!
"Oh man!" Tazz shrieked.
"RKO right out of nowhere, courtesy of D-Va!" Cole said, nearly falling out of his seat.
"She definitely came at the right place in definitely the right time!" JR nodded.
With the rest of crowd going on a frenzy for D-Va's entire stunt, the ovation soon died down fast enough for them to turn to the stage and see the Rumble clock appear on the titantron, nearly ticking down to the next entrant of the match.
"This Rumble's about to continue with the next entrant coming in!" The King exclaimed, "Who's got number 103?"
10… 9… 8… 7… 6… 5… 4… 3… 2… 1… *BZZT!*
Entrant #103: Travis Touchdown (No More Heroes)
After the buzzer once again sounded off like always, the crowd all popped once they heard the song "Bad" by Michael Jackson play all around the soundstage. That was soon followed of course by the appearance of a man with spiky black hair, white shirt that was covered by his red jacket, tight denim jeans, white sneakers and gold shades. He managed to point his finger guns right to the screaming audience in order to get him even more pumped.
"Hey, I think this guy may be looking to go for a touchdown!" Tazz nodded.
Cole then nodded back as he said, "As in Travis Touchdown from the No More Heroes series, Tazz! He's number 103 in the Rumble so far."
"With a look that's so hip and snazzy, no wonder he's one to look out for!" The King replied.
Once he took that long run in the aisle though, Travis finally managed to get in the ring and took Ezio's feet off with a spear!
"Wow, take a look at that!" Tazz shrieked with excitement.
"He nearly dead gummed ripped Ezio's body apart with that spear!" J.R. said, cringing a little.
Travis wouldn't be quite done with Ezio though as he backed the struggling assassin right to the lower right corner.
Once Ezio finally managed to get right back up though, Travis came rushing in delivering an epic Stinger Splash to Ezio, much to the delight of the crowd here in San Diego.
"Stinger Splash at the corner!" JR shouted.
"I can't believe he's tearing it up so far!" Tazz nodded, feeling impressed by Travis's skills.
"Well, it's no surprise that he's a big pro wrestling fan, Tazz!" Cole said to Tazz.
The Stinger Splash got Travis Touchdown so pumped up that he proceeded to do another one, just for the sake of his fans.
With Ezio struggling to recover from the corner, Travis approached him yet again and delivered yet another big Stinger Splash for good measure!
"And he nails another one!" The King smirked.
"I don't know how good Travis is keeping up here, but it seems really damn good here from my standpoint!" Tazz nodded.
Still feeling pumped as ever from those two Stinger Splashes, Travis immediately went to the opposite corner, looking to go for a third Stinger Splash on Ezio.
Once he took off running though however, Ezio looked up what was coming his way and ducked down with an unexpected back body drop, launching Travis Touchdown over the top rope but managed to remain on the apron just to keep himself safe from elimination.
"Whoa, that was a close one!" JR sighed with relief.
"That was almost suicide for him!" Tazz nodded to JR.
Ezio managed to use Travis's hesitation for a second as the assassin attempted to hit Travis with a big forearm shot to the head, which forced the hero to hang onto the ropes once again!
"He's... no, he's still in!" The King slowly pointed out.
"Travis just managed to hang in there!" J.R. pointed out as well.
It wouldn't be for long though as Ezio attempted to push Travis just by using his boot. But Travis still managed to hang onto the ropes, making sure he didn't let go. That also didn't stop Raven and Cammy White from helping Ezio attempt to push Travis off the apron in a three-on-one elimination process. Yet still, Travis wasn't letting go of the ropes regardless.
"Oh man, Travis is in deep deep trouble here!" Tazz groaned in horror.
Cole then shook his head saying, "I don't think Travis is gonna be lasting long with odds like that!"
And he definitely wasn't going to.
Johnny Cage immediately saw what was going on between Travis and the three entrants themselves, therefore deciding to help out right away by taking his good sunglasses off his face and flicking it towards Travis. The youngster was immediately cut off by the flying specs right away, forcing both Cage, Ezio, Raven and Cammy to finally push Travis off the apron and onto the floor, resulting in his elimination much to the raucous boos in the crowd.
"Oh no, I can't believe it!" Tazz groaned.
"He's already gone?" The King said to JR, "And just like that?"
"I'm afraid so, guys!" Cole nodded to both King and Tazz.
"Travis Touchdown, a big fan favorite here in the Rumble, has been eliminated unexpectedly in this match!" Cole sadly groaned.
73rd Elimination: Travis Touchdown; Eliminated by: Johnny Cage, Raven, Cammy White and Ezio Auditore; Duration: 0:42
As Travis left ringside feeling very surprised and upset from his elimination, the camera soon scrolled over to the left where Candy Cane was busy looking left to right for some reason before asking the commentators far away from the ring.
"Hey, where in the hell did you see my boyfriend?!" Candy Cane said, shouting over to Tazz.
"Um, what are you talkin' about?" Tazz shrugged back.
Cole then whispered in Tazz's face, "I think she means YunSeong, Tazz."
"Oh, I think he got eliminated due to a smoke bomb going off." Tazz shouted back to Candy Cane.
Before Candy Cane could complain and groan at the slightest though, she felt herself being grabbed from behind by Kitana, who tried to attempt a German suplex. Being the dirty schoolgirl heel she was, Candy swung her leg backwards, lowblowing Kitana right between her legs!
"Oh, that's not gonna feel good!" JR shook his head uncomfortably.
"I think Candy Cane might have popped Kitana's cherry on that one!" Tazz smirked out.
"Yeah, but not in a good way!" The King said, shaking his head as well.
Meanwhile, as Candy Cane continued to get a little breather in the middle of the ring, the crowd all looked to the stage once again, awaiting the Rumble clock to tick down to its next upcoming entrant in the match.
"The hits continue to keep on getting better, folks!" JR exclaimed, "Who's gonna get a hold of the 104th entrant here tonight?"
10… 9… 8… 7… 6… 5… 4… 3… 2… 1… *BZZT!*
Entrant #104: Miss Spencer (Rumble Roses)
As the buzzer went off once again, the fans all heard the song "Hot For Teacher" by Van Halen played around the titantron, forcing them to erupt to their feet as an attractive blonde teacher with a short ponytail. red eyeglasses, a white buttoned up shirt with a red scarf, orange miniskirt, orange kneepads and black boots came through the curtain, nearly being cheered through the roof thanks to thousands of horny male demographic sitting by the stands.
"Oh, guess who's got it bad, got it bad, got it bad tonight?" The King smirked to his broadcast partners.
JR nodded before saying, "Apparently, this woman from Rumble Roses does, King! It's Miss Spencer coming in at #104!"
"Although I can agree that these 70,000 plus fans are definitely hot for teachers, I can guarantee you that!" Tazz nodded out.
After adjusting her glasses just to give Candy Cane one cold hard stare, Miss Spencer made a dash down the aisle and immediately rushed inside the ring, letting the fans go bat-shit crazy as both Miss Spencer and Candy Cane exchanged quick punch shots against one another.
"Oh, we got a fast and furious encounter going on here!" Tazz pointed out.
"No doubt, rivalries like these are the reason why I love the Rumble!" The King nodded to Tazz.
The blows began to trade one another between Miss Spencer and Candy Cane for a good ten seconds before the blonde-haired teacher herself managed to trap Candy Cane right to the ropes. Miss Spencer then whipped the rebellious schoolgirl towards the ropes, only for Candy Cane to counterwhip, sending Miss Spencer running instead. Candy Cane attempted to catch Miss Spencer by surprise with a discus clothesline, only for the teacher to duck right down and run back, blasting Candy Cane in the face with a running wheel kick!
"Miss Spencer coming through!" JR shouted proudly.
"No doubt she wrecked Candy Cane there!" Tazz nodded.
The teacher was far from over with her so-called student though as Miss Spencer took advantage of a dazed and confused Candy Cane, kicking her right in the ribs and locking her with a double underhook lock. Which didn't last long before Miss Spencer dropped Candy Cane's face right on the mat with a Pedigree!
"There she is with the Pedigree!" Cole exclaimed, "Very reminiscent of Triple H!"
The move managed to get Candy Cane incapacitated long enough for Miss Spencer to rush right towards her with a big double clothesline, sending Candy Cane over the top rope and onto the floor with a very big pop!
"And she's gone!" JR exclaimed.
"Dang it, not my favorite pair of puppies!" The King said, groaning like a child.
"Tough luck, King!" Tazz smirked to King, "Looks like Candy Canes headin' back to detention!"
74th Elimination: Candy Cane; Eliminated by: Miss Spencer; Duration: 43:28
Candy Cane immediately got up to her feet as she looked around the crowd, who was chanting "Na Na Na Na, Na Na Na Na, Hey Hey Hey, Goodbye" to her non-stop. Knowing she wouldn't take her elimination seriously, Candy Cane foolishly attempted to get back in the ring, only for the rest of the officials to restrain her right away. Despite that, it didn't stop Candy Cane from giving Miss Spencer a verbal thrashing of course.
"You son of a... I'll get you back for this. You'll see!" Candy Cane said, shouting to her own teacher before she left on her own terms.
"Wow, talk about a spoiled brat, huh?" JR said to Cole.
The longtime SmackDown announcer then nodded to JR, "Yeah, makes me glad I didn't go to private school."
Meanwhile, as Candy Cane finally left ringside, the camera scrolled down to the right where Crash Bandicoot managed to slam Dixie down to the mat with a Powerbomb, right before Crash transitioned into a boston crab literally trapping the cowgirl in the painful submission move. Dixie felt her back wrench painfully as Crash continued to sit down on her spine, compressing her lower back down to the mat.
"Crash with that impressive transition!" JR exclaimed.
"That's gotta be the most painful thing Dixie's gonna feel from that bandicoot!" The King nodded, "I'd know I hate it if I was in her shoes."
The punishment wouldn't be quite over for Dixie though as Pasadena came by and trapped the blonde-haired cowgirl with a Crossface submission hold, therefore leaving Dixie trapped and unable to get out from this double submission hold.
"Oh, I feel like a chiropractor's in order for Dixie now!" Tazz replied.
"I think you're right, Tazz." The King yelped, "I don't know how we can hire one for these hurt contestants!"
"I'm guessing Dixie's gonna afford one the most!" JR nodded out.
The pain that Dixie was feeling around her spine, neck and shoulders was so excruciating, she felt like she was getting tortured by Anesthesia herself back at a Rumble Roses ring.
It wouldn't last long thankfully as Tina Armstrong came running out of nowhere and decked Crash right in the back of the head with an enzugiri, right around at the same time Aisha came running and decked Pasadena O'Possum right in the face with a running dropkick.
"Well, talk about help from unlikely places!" Cole sighed in relief.
"Yeah, especially from Tina!" The King nodded to Cole, "Heck, I'm thinking Tina wants Dixie all to herself!"
"I think that's probably gonna be her objective, King!" JR nodded.
While Dixie Clemets struggled to get back in this match however, the camera scrolled up to see Kyo Kusanagi and Mai Shiranui attempting to lift up Duke Nukem for a double suplex, but to no avail unfortunately.
"Yeah, I don't think that's gonna happen." Tazz said, shaking his head at this failed feat of strength.
"It definitely can't be considered how big Duke Nukem's muscles are!" Cole replied, agreeing with Tazz.
Despite that failed attempt though, both Kyo and Mai continued to try yet again for the second attempt. But as that was happening though, the crowd all focused on the stage once more, seeing the countdown clock light up once again for the next entrant that was about to come out momentarily.
"Looks like both Kyo and Mai may need a little extra help here," JR shrugged, "Hopefully the next entrant may be of use!"
10… 9… 8… 7… 6… 5… 4… 3… 2… 1… *BZZT!*
Entrant #105: Terry Bogard (Fatal Fury/The King of Fighters)
With the buzzer sounding off full-blast, the song "Till I Collapse" from Eminem began to play on repeat as a certain blonde-haired man with a signature Red "Fatal Fury" hat, grey tank top that was covered by a familiar red vest, denim jeans and red Sketchers shoes began making his way through the curtain set to a tremendous applause from the crowd inside Qualcomm Stadium. The people immediately went crazy for this entrant, who spent the entire duration chanting "Terry! Terry! Terry!" over and over again.
"I guess they found one in the form of this man!" The King smirked with anticipation.
"He's the hero that put Southtown on the map, and one of SNK's finest from both Fatal Fury and the King of Fighters, Terry Bogard at #105!" Cole exclaimed.
Tazz then shook his head while replying with a big gulp, "Yeah, but whatever you do, don't let him ask you if you're okay!"
"I'm certain someone's gotta be stupid to fall for that!" JR nodded to Tazz.
After tipping his hat to the rest of the crowd, Terry began to run down the aisle in full-speed before finally getting inside the ring just in time to see Kyo and Mai attempt once again to lift up Duke Nukem for a double suplex.
He helped out right away by grabbing Duke Nukem right by the legs and as both Kyo and Mai attempted to lift him up, Terry strongly picked Duke's legs right up the mat, leaving both the ex-high schooler and kunoichi to finally slam him with that double suplex. This unbelievable feat of strength immediately brought the fans to their entire feet, chanting "This is awesome" as a result.
"Hey, you say it can't be done, Tazz, but by gawd they did!" JR shrieked.
Tazz was shocked out of his feet saying, "Whoa, you've gotta be kidding me!"
"I wish we were, Tazz, but this is a real deal!" Cole replied to Tazz.
"I bet Duke's gonna be shocked this happened to him right now!" The King nodded.
While the crowd continued to get crazy after what they saw, the celebration definitely didn't last long though as the San Diego faithful all turned to the stage and let out a chorus of boos for some reason. It wasn't until the camera scrolled up to the stage to see Pinstripe Potoroo looking very pissed off as he walked down the aisle with backstage officials telling him to go back.
"Oh, damn it, this guy again?!" Cole heavily groaned.
"What on earth is Pinstripe Potoroo doing here?" JR raised his eyebrow, "He's not even supposed to be in the damn Rumble!"
"Well, of course he's not, he got replaced by Tails!" Cole said to JR.
"That should've never happened!" The King said, practically defending Pinstripe, "He got cheated thanks to Kenny Omega and the rest of his friends earlier tonight!"
One of the backstage officials tried to get a hold of Pinstripe, only for the pissed off potoroo to swat his hand away saying, "Hey, getcha hands off of me! I'm gonna get in that ring, and there ain't a damn thing you can do about it!"
However, there was one guy who was actually standing in his way in the middle of ringside. Pinstripe immediately looked down at the ramp to see the event's personal one-man security team Kurtis Stryker stand in the way.
"Um, I think Stryker has to disagree there, Pinstripe!" JR pointed out.
"Yeah, right, like Pinstripe afraid of some mall cop!" The King said, chuckling towards JR's face.
"Stryker's not a mall cop, King!" Cole said to King, practically defending Stryker, "I'll have you know he's part of a riot squad from New York City!"
Looking quite unintimidated in front of Stryker, Pinstripe sneered with anger, "I don't wanna have to fight ya, but if you know what's good for me, you'll let me in this Rumble right… now."
Looking back to Terry Bogard and back to Pinstripe, Stryker immediately stepped aside, therefore letting the suit-wearing Potoroo finally in the ring. But as he did though, Terry immediately approached him with a cheerful smirk on his face.
He immediately tipped his hat to Pinstripe saying, "Hey, Pinhead, are you OK?"
"What's it to ya, hat freak?" Pinstripe snarled.
And then all of a sudden, Terry rushed right over to Pinstripe by punching him hard in the face and blasted a big wave of energy screaming, "BUSTAH WOLF!"
The impact of that shot was so strong that it literally sent Pinstripe flying right through the sky and out of orbit, leaving the rest of the commentators and fans all stunned in shock. Stryker on the other hand, was left with a big satisfied smile on his face.
"GOOD GOD ALMIGHTY, HE BAH GAWD SENT HIM FLYING!" JR shrieked out of his seat.
Tazz was immediately lost for words screaming, "Did we… DID WE JUST SEE A FINAL SMASH?!"
"I can't believe Terry Bogard just did that!" The King shrieked as well, leaving himself in shock.
"Indeed," Cole nodded before saying, "And I guess that's probably the last we're gonna see of Pinstripe for good!"
With the crowd right on their feet, Terry decided to do what he loved to do best after pulling out his special move. And that was to take his "Fatal Fury" cap and toss it to the audience shouting "OK!" in response!
"There we go, that's what I've been wanting to hear!" JR nodded with satisfaction.
"These fans are definitely OK, although I can't say the same for Pinstripe!" Cole shook his head, "He's definitely LONG gone!"
"It's still not fair, Cole!" The King whined, still complaining about what Terry did to Pinstripe.
"Sorry King, life's not fair." Tazz shook his head at the King, "Let's move on living!"
With the rest of the crowd literally going on a frenzy after what Terry did, they soon found themselves focusing on the stage again, seeing the Rumble clock light up YET again for their next entrant about to appear in the match.
"This crowd is still on their feet, ladies and gentleman," JR replied, "Will they be that way once our next character comes out in only T-minus 12... 11..."
10... 9... 8... 7... 6... 5... 4... 3... 2... 1... *BZZT!*
Entrant #106: Sebastian (Stardew Valley)
As the buzzer sounded off once again, the song "Horror Business" by The Misfits began playing from the soundstage as a man with stylish emo hair, black hoodie, dark blue jeans and dark brown shoes came out with a shovel in his hands. Much to the delight of fans though, the next entrant was busy walking alongside a spiky blonde-haired man on the left and a beautiful velvet-haired girl in a dark purple/haired dress with brown boots on the right.
"Ah, here's somebody that can smoke the competition!" Tazz pointed out.
"Entering at #106 is Sebastian from the hottest indie title of 2016, "Stardew Valley"!" Cole exclaimed.
"No doubt he's got friends like Sam and Abigail to back him all the way!" JR replied in unison.
After giving two of his best friends a fist bump, Sebastian entered the ring right away, giving Cloud Strife two shovel shots across the ribs and the back!
"Sebastian starting off strong and hard there!" Tazz pointed out.
"He definitely has to be the moody one out of his group of friends!" Cole exclaimed.
Siegfried tried to be the next man that attempted to stop Sebastian's momentum, but the emo gave the knight another shovel shot to the abdomen, all before putting the shovel down in perfect position for Sebastian to drop Siegfried with a DDT. The fans all watched in cringe seeing Siegfried's head being driven down to the metal plate.
"Ohhhh, right on the shovel!" The King cringed a bit.
"That'll be one heck of a headache to wake up to!" JR replied.
Sebastian managed to continue his momentum for a little bit longer before he was immediately cut off with a glowing Shadow Kick, courtesy of Johnny Cage!
"Cage with a big Shadow Kick!" Tazz exclaimed.
"That definitely didn't last long!" The King chuckled a bit.
Cage immediately felt himself getting pumped up pulling off one of the best signature moves he was known for, much to the delight of the crowd watching him.
Unfortunately, it didn't last long for him as Cage stepped on the shovel's entire handle, forcing the entire shovel to connect with Cage's entire face!
"Oh my gawd!" JR shrieked.
"Oh, no!" The King shrieked as well, "What in the hell were you thinking, Johnny?!"
"It's simple, King: He just walked right into a shovel!" Tazz said, trying to hold in his laughter.
Meanwhile, as Johnny was busy crying his ass off, Raven was busy getting the upper hand on Simon Belmont as he got him held up into a Samoan Drop position.
Before he could even think about dropping him however, Simon managed to wiggle free and push Raven right toward the ropes. When he turned around however, Simon rushed right at him with a double clothesline that sent him over the top rope and onto the floor, marking Simon's first elimination of the match!
"Guess Blade didn't belong in this world!" The King smirked.
"It's Raven, not Blade!" JR said, correcting the King very sternly.
"My mistake!" The King yelped in defense, "It's just that he reminds me like Wesley Snipes!"
"Well, he's not, King!" Cole replied, shaking his head at the King.
75th Elimination: Raven; Eliminated by: Simon Belmont; Duration: 16:27
Right after he saw Raven leave ringside defeated on his own turns, Simon then turned around only for Duke Nukem to trip him on his feet with his own muscular hands.
He then grabbed him by the legs and then, by the delight of every loyal wrestling fan watching, proceeded to swing him over and over again a la Giant Swing. The fans managed to keep their eyes glued with every rotation, every revolution Duke had made for the blonde-haired vampire slayer.
"I swear, this ain't gonna be a good ride for Simon!" Tazz shook his head.
JR nodded before saying, "Nor is it a pleasant one, Tazz. Look how fast Duke's going right now!"
"Well, you know what they say, JR, 'Round and round, he goes. And where Duke stops, nobody knows'!" Cole shrugged out.
One-by-one, the people inside Qualcomm Stadium all began to count down every single spin for as long as Duke wished.

The crowd immediately went apeshit for Duke's swing, as he managed to swing him around an earth-shattering 40 times. That was more than enough to make both men dazed, but Duke on the other hand wasn't quite done with Simon just yet.
Duke then proceeded to use Simon as a catapult, therefore sending him right into the turnpost and knocking him out!
"He hit the post!" JR shouted, "Bah gawd, Simon's head just hit the post!"
"Talk about a horrible night to have a curse," The King smirked before saying, "He just had a horrible night to have a concussion!"
With Simon Belmont still dazed around the ring, the crowd once again all turned over to the stage and saw the Rumble clock lighting up once more for the next entrant to come right through the curtain.
"The fun's not gonna stop there, because the fun's gonna continue with our next entrant!" Tazz exclaimed, "I'm so excited to see who it is!"
10... 9... 8... 7... 6... 5... 4... 3... 2... 1... *BZZT!*
Entrant #107: Tawna Bandicoot (Crash Bandicoot)
When the buzzer sounded off from a distance, the song "Six Pack" by Black Flag played all throughout the rafters as a female anthropormorphic bandicoot made her way down the aisle wearing a pink shirt with a light blue scarf and a brown jacket, denim jeans, pink leg-warmers, blue shoes and sporting what seemed to be a blonde/blue punk rock haircut. There were a lot of people in the audience who didn't know who she was, but her face looked quite familiar, which was enough for her to get a decent pop.
"Wait a minute, I don't remember her!" The King shook his head before replying, "Who is she?"
"Well, believe it or not, King, that woman coming out next is Tawna Bandicoot from the Crash Bandicoot franchise!" Cole pointed out.
"Really?" The King raised his eyebrow, "No wonder she looked different from her shirt and hot pants attire!"
"Hey, she's trying something new, King!" JR replied to The King.
(Take note that this was way before Crash Bandicoot 4 was announced, hencewhy people didn't know who she was at first considering the look we decided to give her for this story.)
After she got right on the apron though, Tawna managed to stare down to Kitana, who was right on her knees trying to catch her breath.
Deciding to enter the ring in style, Tawna flipped her body and entered inside the ring, dropping Kitana with an insane Slingshot DDT!
"Whoa, that was cool." Tazz replied.
"Impressive Slingshot DDT from Tawna herself!" JR nodded.
Blaze Fielding tried to stop Tawna's momentum by trying to surprise her with a running dropkick out of nowhere, but the bandicoot instantly saw it coming and moved out of the way before pushing Blaze back to the upper left corner using her foot. Blaze then stumbled over Tawna, who ended up surprising her with a big Exploder Suplex!
"Big Exploder right by the corner!" Cole exclaimed.
"She almost got jumped on by Blaze right at the moment!" JR exclaimed as well.
With the momentum she was starting to build up one at a time, Tawna felt like she was now suddenly on a roll.
But it was suddenly put on hold when Tawna found herself being turned around by Pasadena O'Possum, who exchanged quite a cold-hard stare to the punk rock-looking buccaneer herself. The staredown was so personal that the camera, the fans and especially the commentators sitting at ringside caught wind of this scene.
"Uh-oh..." The King said with a big gulp in his throat.
"'Uh-oh' is right, King!" Cole exclaimed, "I think Tawna found herself some competition!"
"You're definitely right, Cole!" Tazz nodded to Cole, "These two have a big rivalry when it comes to Crash Bandicoot himself! And man, do these two despise each other."
Not liking the way she was forced to face Pasadena herself, Tawna scowled back at the racer, "Please tell me you didn't just do that to me right now."
"So what if I did?" Pasadena said, scowling back at her, "What the hell are you gonna do about it?"
"Keep pushing me like that and see what happens!" Tawna replied, warning her very seriously.
"Oh, really?" Pasadena raised her eyebrow, "Because I thought THIS was pushing!"
Just to prove her point, Pasadena decided to literally push Tawna physically, who in return speared the female possum to the mat and flooded her with furious punches. This expected scene definitely caught interest with the fans, who were now getting on their feet cheering and hollering for this catfight to escalate!
"Oh, and the gloves are off!" Tazz smirked with excitement.
"This is the kind of battle everyone wants to see, Tazz!" JR said to the ECW legend.
"Me too!" The King nodded, "This catfight is the reason I love this Rumble!"
Tawna had a good upper hand for a little bit until Pasadena ended up turning things around in her favor, flooding Tawna with a flurry of punch shots of her very own.
"Now Pasadena's fighting back!" Tazz pointed out.
JR nodded as he then said, "No doubt this fight has now gotten personal between the both of them!"
As much as the rest of the fans were watching from ringside enjoyed this catfight, it didn't last long unfortunately though as Crash Bandicoot stepped in and successfully managed to separate both Tawna and Pasadena, much to the disappointment of the crowd.
"Aw man, just when I thought it was gonna be good!" The King said, groaning in defeat.
Still struggling with the two women in his life, Crash said to both Tawna and Pasadena, "Okay, stop fighting, mates! I'm having a very hard time tryin' to keep you apart!"
"That's right, hold me back!" Pasadena said to Crash as she pointed to Tawna, "That way when you lemme go, I can thrash her even more!"
"Was this because I left Crash in the past?" Tawna said, replying to Pasadena, "Look what I did was an accident, okay?"
Pasadena shook her head to Tawna saying, "No, you datin' Pinstripe was an accident! Crash deserved better from you!"
"Women, STOP!" Crash shouted to the two girls, who thankfully did manage to come to a stop, "Look, I understand you two don't like each other and I know what it looks like to be the third bandicoot in this relationship, but I need the two of you to quit fighting for once and help me out! That way it'll just be the three of us in the final three! What do the two of you say, mates?"
Both Tawna and Pasadena attempted to come up with an answer before Lloyd immediately butted in and slugged Crash right in the back of a steel chair!
"Oh, Lloyd from behind!" JR replied while cringing.
Lloyd wasn't quite finished with either Tawna or Pasadena though as he then hit the two of then right in the ribs with the same steel chair he hit Crash with.
And then, with such embroiled rage, he slammed the steel chair around Pasadena's back repeatedly, pounding her endlessly much to the total distaste and hate coming from this pissed off crowd themselves!
"My god, somebody stop this man!" Cole shouted with anger.
"Lloyd's not gonna care if you're man or woman or small or large, he will be heartless no matter what!" Tazz shook his head.
"Damn it, Pasadena meeds help, for goodness sakes!" JR cried out.
After beating her down with a steel chair for a good 15th time, Lloyd finally set the steel chair down, only to see the Rumble clock light up right on the titantron. He came to a complete stop and waited in anticipation as the clock began ticking down to its next entrant.
"The next entrant is about to come out in t-minus 10 seconds!" King replied, "Hopefully, he can manage to stop this savage!"
10... 9... 8... 7... 6... 5... 4... 3... 2... 1... *BZZT!*
Entrant #108: Dart Feld (The Legend of Dragoon)
Once the buzzer sounded off again, the crowd was soon treated to the song "Mouth For War" by Pantera playing across the stadium as a spiky brown-haired man with a red headband, black tanktop, black jeans, brown belt, brown boots and red metal-like shoulder pads came out running through the curtain and down the aisle, much to the delight and excitement from the audience themselves. And yet, he came out much to the shock that was immediately left on Lloyd's jaw-dropped face.
"Oh, Lloyd's gonna be in for it now!" The King chuckled.
"He should be now that Dart Feld from The Legend of Dragoon is now in the match!" JR nodded to the King.
"I can see he's got a lot of unfinished business against Lloyd here!" Tazz exclaimed, "So if I were Lloyd here, I think I'd better start running now!"
And that's all what Lloyd did. As soon as Dart finally got inside the ring, Lloyd took the coward's way out by rolling under the ropes and leaving the ring.
That didn't take too kindly to Dart though as he decided to chase right after the silver-haired scumbag, now resulting in a cat-and-mouse chase all across ringside.
"Oh, what a snake in the grass Lloyd's becoming!" JR said out of disgust.
"But Dart's definitely on his tail!" Tazz nodded, "And it won't be long before he snatches it across Lloyd's back!"
"I think he'll do it sooner rather than later!" The King nodded as well.
The chase lasted for a good ten seconds until Lloyd finally got back inside the ring, only to get hit with a big boot courtesy of Sub-Zero. It didn't knock Lloyd out completely, but it left him tired and stunned enough for Dart to get right back into the ring and spear Lloyd right out of his shoes!
"Oh, that got him!" Tazz pointed out.
"Guess you have to thank Sub-Zero for that little assist!" The King chuckled a little.
The fans were eating up every single fist shot that Dart was giving to Lloyd. Indeed, this was the perfect payback for Dart and nothing was gonna stop him.
That was until Lloyd of course, decided to wiggle free and retreat under the ropes once more. Despite that, it didn't stop Dart from chasing right after him again.
"And the chase continues!" JR shouted out.
"I got a feeling this may never end, JR!" The King shook his head.
Meanwhile, as Dart continued to go after Lloyd, the camera quickly shifted back to the ring where Helena Douglas was busy trying to get Aisha over the top rope and onto the floor with an Oklahoma Slam. But luckily for the dancer, Aisha had her hands attached to the ropes, forcing Helena to struggle back and forth as a result.
"Helena is definitely trying her best to get Aisha out of this match!" Cole replied.
"Well, she definitely doesn't want to get eliminated with someone that has a lot of class." Tazz shrugged out to Cole.
After seconds of fighting back, Aisha managed to slip out of Helena's grasp and grabbed the saucy Frenchwoman by the legs, sending Helena over the top rope only to hang on for dear life.
"Whoa, Helena's safe!" The King said, sighing in relief.
However, both Aisha and Dixie Clemets noticed the image of Helena still hanging onto the ropes, which forced the team known as Rodeo Drive to hit Helena with a running double dropkick to the head, forcing Helena to let go of the ropes and drop to the floor for another elimination.
"Well, not for long, King!" JR shook his head.
"Dang it, not another set of poodles gone!" The King groaned once more.
"I'm afraid it is, King!" Tazz nodded, "Time for this beauty to head back to France!"
76th Elimination: Helena Douglas; Eliminated by: Aisha and Dixie Clemets; Duration: 17:35
After Helena sadly took her leave from ringside, the camera scrolled back outside the crowd where Dart and Lloyd were now fighting around the stands. Sadly, Lloyd managed to get the advantage by poking Dart right between the eyes and sent him running right to the wall, knocking him out for the time being.
"What a desperate move by Lloyd!" JR replied.
"Hey, he had to do what he did to Dart," Tazz said, defending Lloyd once more. "I mean, that guy is such a savage!"
"Really?" Cole raised his eyebrow. "Because I thought Lloyd was the savage."
Knowing the damage he did to Dart wasn't enough, Lloyd had decided to do more to Dart by taking the camera from the cameraman himself and clutching it tight, waiting for Dart to get up.
"Oh no, this isn't gonna be pleasant!" The King shook his head.
"Hitting Dart with a camera?" Tazz said with a gasp before smirking, "That's gotta be the smartest idea ever. Hope he's ready for his close-up!"
"Oh, ha ha, Tazz…" Cole replied sarcastically.
As Dart turned right around, Lloyd charged with the camera only for Dart to duck right down and superkick Lloyd square in the teeth dead-on!
"Superkick right to Lloyd!" JR shouted.
"Now who's asking for a close-up now?" The King smirked over to Tazz.
"Give me a break, that wasn't even funny on my part…" Tazz said, grumbling to himself.
"Believe me Tazz, nobody finds that funny at all." Cole groaned.
While Dart and Lloyd continued their brawl in the audience, the crowd took the time to look toward the stage and see the countdown clock displayed all across the titantron, making way for the next entrant that was about to come on down to the Rumble match.
"While that brawl goes on, let us see who's drawn #109 in the Rumble!" JR pointed out the curtain.
10... 9... 8... 7... 6... 5... 4... 3... 2... 1... *BZZT!*
Entrant #109: Barret Wallace (Final Fantasy VII)
Seconds after the buzzer went off, the crowd immediately went on their feet once they heard the song "X Gon Give It To Ya" by DMX blast around the sound speakers. That was soon followed by the appearance of a dirty green pick-up truck, which was being driven by a big African-American muscleman with a brown vest, black tank top, olive green jeans and brown work boots. Plus, instead of the signature machine gun he had in his left arm, he was equipped with a boxing glove to sport on, just to use for this Royal Rumble match.
"Whoa, we got a real deal comin' through, gents!" Tazz exclaimed.
"Definitely considered to be the muscle of Cloud's AVALANCHE faction, here comes Barret Wallace from Final Fantasy VII at #109!" JR replied.
"Just to let you know that he's dedicating this Rumble match to her daughter, Marlene." Cole replied as well, reminding his broadcast partners, "So regardless what happens, he's gonna do his best to make it as far as he can and survive."
After he got out of his truck, Barret adjusted his glasses and hit the ring running, blasting both Axel Stone and Jin Kazama with double clotheslines just to get an epic start.
"Ohh, that didn't feel good!" The King shook his head.
"Barret dropped them like flies, King!" JR nodded.
Sebastian tried his hand at stopping the trash-talking gunman by attempting to hit a jumping DDT, only for Barret to hold him right up in the air and then drop him with a face-first flapjack!
"Well, that was unfortunate!" Tazz yelped.
"Consider another fly that's been dropped thanks to Barret!" The King chuckled a bit.
Knowing that Sebastian was still dazed out from that flapjack, Barret then picked the emo right up on his shoulders and then dropped the smoker on his head with an F-5, leaving both his friends Sam and Abigail at ringside worried about their friend.
"Barret with the F5!" JR replied.
"I'm pretty sure Sebastian's friends at ringside hate to be in their friend's shoes right now!" The King exclaimed.
Cole nodded before saying to The King, "I'm sure everyone feels the same right now!"
Meanwhile, as Barret continued his dominance in the match, the camera scrolled around to see Sub-Zero punch away at both Terry Bogard and Kyo Kusanagi as they were trying to get a hold of him.
"Looks like Sub-Zero's being a targeted man right here!" Tazz pointed out.
"Well, Sub-Zero's impressive ice powers can definitely be considered a threat to the kombatants!" JR nodded.
Sub-Zero continued to punch away at Terry and Kyo for good several seconds before Mai Shiranui came out running and blasted the Lin Kuei grandmaster with a big running knee!
"I guess that took him down!" The King exclaimed.
"Mai finally giving both Terry and Kyo a hand there!" Cole exclaimed as well.
That knee shot managed to get Sub-Zero pretty good there, as it got him laid out and unconscious.
It would be enough for the trio of Kyo, Mai and Terry to pick Sub-Zero up on his feet and throw him over the ropes and onto the floor, eliminating him much to a mixed reaction from the crowd (all of the boos of course were from the Sub-Zero fans).
"There goes Sub-Zero, ladies and gents!" Tazz exclaimed.
The King nodded as he said, "Looks like these MK fans in the audience don't like it at all!"
"That's their loss, King!" JR shook his head, "Once you're gone, you can't come back 'til the whole thing is over!"
77th Elimination: Sub-Zero; Eliminated by: Kyo Kusanagi, Mai Shiranui and Terry Bogard; Duration: 49:33
Once Sub-Zero took his leave however, Johnny Cage was once again trying to reach into the weapon-filled trash bin when all of a sudden, he felt a little buzz go right through the pockets in his pants.
"Wha... who the hell's texting me?" Cage said to himself before quickly digging out his cell phone.
The actor then opened up his phone to reveal her daughter Cassie giving Johnny her usual selfie, which happened to be a picture of Cage's daughter sucking on her usual strawberry-flavored Slurpee.
"Dang it, Cassie! I'm in the middle of trying to win a Rumble here!" Johnny cried out to himself before putting his phone away.
But as he did though, he was cut off-guard by Siegfried, who then picked Cage up with an Argentine Backbreaker. But instead of wrenching the actor's back though, he slammed Cage to the mat with a Burning Hammer.
"Uh-oh, that just cost him!" The King yelped.
"Siegfried managed to capitalize big from the distraction Cage had!" JR exclaimed.
Tazz chuckled a bit before saying, "That'll teach him not to be distracted!"
Right as he was getting back up though, the camera quickly scrolled up to the lower left turnbuckle where Morrigan Aensland was trying to sneak up on Siegfried from the top rope, attempting to hit him with a trashcan lid.
"Uh-oh, Siegfried better be careful!" The King pointed out.
"Morrigan's about to give him a wakeup call from the top!" Cole also pointed out as well.
As Siegfried turned around, he saw Morrigan leap off the top rope with the lid in hand, only for the blonde-haired night to move out of the way. In result, Morrigan ended up hitting Johnny Cage right upside the head with the lid instead!
"Oh no, not again!" The King groaned.
"Johnny Cage is definitely not getting a break!" JR replied, shaking his head.
Cole then shook his head as well, "Well, it's no surprise Morrigan didn't give him one!"
As the stars around Cage's head continued to spin around, the entire San Diego crowd all stood up yet again and looked to the stage to see the Rumble clock tick all the way down to its next entrant.
"We've got another contestant coming down the aisle," Tazz pointed out to the curtain, "Man, I can't wait to see who it is!"
10... 9... 8... 7... 6... 5... 4... 3... 2... 1... *BZZT!*
Entrant #110: Donkey Kong
Once the buzzer rang out for the good 109th time so far, the familiar "DK Rap" tune from Donkey Kong 64 played away much to the excitement of all the fans inside Qualcomm Stadium, who started to dance around as they saw a familar big brown ape with a red DK tie came out through the curtain and headed down the aisle.
"I think this Rumble's about to go bananas, JR!" The King frantically pointed out.
"And no doubt that Donkey Kong plans to make the Royal Rumble his own personal jungle!" JR nodded to the King.
Tazz then chuckled as he said, "I'm probably gonna have the feeling he'll be a main threat, because let's be honest, this guy's friggin' huge!"
No doubt that size of his though was bound to be a factor once he finally got inside that ring. Ezio Auditore of course would be the first man to attempt to fight the big ape, catching him by surprise with three hard left hooks and a jumping spinning back kick for good measure. Those hits of course managed to make DK stumble back to the ropes a bit, making the King look very surprised.
"Agh, I can't believe that stung him!" The Memphis native said out of shock.
"Heck, I can't even believe that also worked!" Tazz replied, not even knowing what to make.
With Donkey Kong already being groggy as it is, Ezio attempted to strike him again, but only for DK to use his entire left arm to catch Ezio by surprise with a single-arm back body drop, which sent the assassin flying over the top rope and onto the floor for his first elimination!
"There goes Ezio, he's eliminated!" Cole quickly shouted.
"That was definitely a mistake on Ezio's part!" Tazz shook his head, "And look where that completely got him!"
"Yeah, a trip back to the showers!" JR nodded.
78th Elimination: Ezio Auditore; Eliminated by: Donkey Kong; Duration: 41:09
Squall Leonhart tried his best to stop Donkey Kong himself just by hopping on the ape's entire back and attempting a big sleeperhold, with a few punches to the head just to slow him down.
"Oh no, what's he doing?" The King facepalmed in response.
"I think Squall's gonna try to bring the big ape down it seems!" Cole pointed out.
This ended up catching Donkey Kong offguard of course, which made him angry enough to spin and swing Squall all around the ring, which led the gunblader to hang onto his fur for dear life.
"I think Squall's about to be in for the ride of his life!" JR exclaimed.
"Yeah, definitely one he's gonna get sick from at least!" The King nodded in response.
Donkey Kong ended up spinning him around for a good ten seconds before two of Squall's feet quickly got on the top ropes, leading the big brown ape to push Squall off of him in which the impact and momentum was so big, it sent Squall flying over the top rope and onto the floor for another elimination.
"Whoa, look at him go!" Tazz said with a loud gasp. "Don't think I've seen anyone fly out of the ring like that!"
"And with that, Donkey Kong picks up another elimination here at the Rumble!" JR exclaimed.
79th Elimination: Squall Leonhart; Eliminated by: Donkey Kong; Duration: 33:22
As the crowd suddenly managed to get behind Donkey Kong, the camera scrolled behind the ape to see Mega Man climb up the top rope in order to surprise Donkey Kong with a flying body press.
When the gorilla finally turned around though, Mega Man finally launched himself over the top rope, only for Donkey Kong to catch him mid-air much to the shock and awe from the San Diego crowd himself!
"Uh-oh!" The King yelped.
"What on earth was Mega Man thinking?!" JR said, shrieking out of his seat.
"Well, that's simple, JR," Tazz shrugged before saying, "He wasn't thinking!"
It wouldn't be long before Donkey Kong then decided to transition into a Gorilla Press, bench-pressing Mega Man above his arms before launching the Blue Bomber over the top ropes and onto the floor, eliminating him as both Ezio and Squall broke Mega Man's fall!
"And Donkey Kong with another elimination!" Cole shouted.
"Yeah, and Mega Man took Ezio and Squall down with him too!" The King nodded with a little chuckle.
"Is there anyone stopping this kind of momentum?" JR asked his partners.
80th Elimination: Mega Man; Eliminated by: Donkey Kong; Duration: 10:31
As the threesome of Ezio, Squall and Mega Man all left ringside, Donkey Kong found himself beating his chest like the big ape that he continued to be.
However, that would all end once Donkey Kong turned right around to see Barret Wallace standing in front of him, resulting in a very tense standoff that had the entire crowd on their feet. It was clear who these fans didn't know who to cheer for in this showdown, yet it hardly didn't matter as these two were about to engage in a big hoss fight.
"Whoa, take a look at that staredown!" Tazz pointed out at the ring.
"You can always expect the unexpected in the Rumble match, and no doubt, this encounter is one of them!" Cole nodded, feelin tense of what was gonna happen between the two muscle-bound characters.
In the midst of this little staredown though, Barret took his time to adjust both his glasses and boxing glove while speaking to DK with a sneer, "You think you so bad just because you kidnap someone's girl? Sorry, but that don't roll with me!"
Donkey Kong didn't reply of course, but he did gesture a "bring it on" over to Barret, which forced the big burly gunman to charge right at him resulting in a big test of strength between the two super heavyweights!
"And thus, the hoss fight has begun!" JR exclaimed in anticipation.
"I don't even know who to even choose in this one, guys!" The King shrugged before saying, "It's so split, I swear, it's quite confusing!"
"I don't blame you, King, and neither do these fans!" Cole nodded in unison.
The test of strength between Donkey Kong and Barret definitely went back and forth at best with DK's size continuing to be a factor. He managed to get Barret right down on his knee, much to the delight of his fans that were busy chanting his name.
"DK's definitely got Barret beat!" Tazz pointed out.
"Not every surprising since he's a big ape!" Cole nodded.
DK had Barret down on his knees for a hefty fifteen seconds before both Morrigan and Chris decided to double team on the gorilla himself with a top rope double dropkick to the back. The hit forced Donkey Kong to tumble over Barret, who surprised everyone watching at home by hip tossing the big ape to the mat!
"No way!" The King shrieked before turning to JR, "Did Barret just-"
"Oh, he did, King!" J.R. said, nodding to The King.
"He managed to toss him like he was no one's business!" Cole replied, still amazed by Barret's strength. "I'm quite impressed!"
"Of course, you gotta thank Chris and Morrigan for that little assist!" Tazz reminded Cole.
As Donkey Kong found himself a little dazed from that judo toss, the rest of the crowd all looked to the stage once more, seeing the Rumble clock light up for the next entrant that was about to appear in the match.
"We're just about getting to the nitty gritty, everyone!" The King said to everyone watching at home, "Who's about to enter the ring next?"
