FanFiction Royal Rumble III
Chapter 15: Of Vampire Queens and Men
In the last chapter: New blood such as Total Drama alumni Cody Anderson, Mortal Kombat longstays Liu Kang and Kitana, and Big E. Langston all made an impression in the Rumble. Oh yeah, and Austin Aries made a return. Both Sheamus and John Cena were given shocking sendoffs thanks to Shawn Michaels and Cody, but the most controversial sendoff was Total Drama's male model and Fanfiction Royal Rumble III winner Justin, who became the victim of an unfairly elimination due to a crutch shot at the hands of Courtney and Alejandro Burromuerto. Will there be more shockers and stunners in the biggest yet baddest Fanfiction Royal Rumble in history!

The countdown clock was ticking down. With so much patience, the entire East Rutherford crowd all stared at the entrance stage in anticipation of the 61st entrant.
10! 9! 8! 7! 6! 5! 4! 3! 2! 1! *BZZT!*
IF YA SMELL... WHAT THE ROCK... IS COOKIN'?!
Entrant #61: The Rock
Jim Ross: *in surprise* MY GAWD!
Jerry Lawler: Wow! This rumble just got electrifying!
Michael Cole: Here comes 8-time WWE Champion and bonafide movie star, The Rock!
Joey Styles: This crowd is on fire tonight!
Coming out with a tremendous pop from this East Rutherford crowd, The Rock came out from the entrance stage, looking very fierce and pumped.
Knowing that Dan was gesturing far away from him to 'bring it on', Rock got that message clearly and sped up down the aisle. And as soon as he got inside the ring, Dan tried to surprise Rock by hitting him with a hockey stick.
The Great One responded fast enough by kicking Dan right in the fruit basket. In response, The Rock catched the stick in midair and walloped Dan right in the nads!
Joey Styles: *cringing* OH MY FRICKIN' GOD!
Mike Tenay: Dan got a hockey stick to the johnson!
JBL: And this is why I never wanted to join ECW early in my career. A shot like that is painful, no doubt about it!
After Dan squealed in intense pain, The Rock got him with his signature combo punches. Every shot to the face forced Dan to stumble a back further. It wasn't long until Dan was close to the ropes.
The adrenaline kept flowing through the Rock's veins as with one final punch, Dan tumbled over the top rope and hit the floor immediately, resulting in his elimination. Dan's elimination responded with a minor amount of boos from the crowd.
Mike Tenay: One punch, and Dan is eliminated from the Rumble!
Michael Cole: Some of these fans may not like it, but that's life!
52nd Elimination: Dan; Eliminated by: The Rock; Duration: 18:20
Angry and pissed that he was eliminated, Dan shook his fists in rage and yelled out to the sky, much to the fans laughter.
Dan: *screaming at the sky* ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOCK!
Dan was looking to take his rage out on someone. So he managed to drag Austin Aries out of the ring and kicked him in the balls. As an insult to injury, Dan irish whipped Austin right over the barricade.
JBL: What the hell's gotten over Dan? He can't do that to Austin Aries!
Mike Tenay: Dan has immediately lost it!
Jerry Lawler: And Austin Aries is being whipped like a family pig!
As the brawl between Dan and Austin Aries went on, Triple H and Shawn Michaels were busy brawling against Liu Kang and Kitana. Nothing felt good than a battle of worthy duos. It was DX against two of the champions from Earthrealm.
But the momentum was on DX's side. Triple H nailed Liu Kang with forearm punches while Shawn Michaels was busy giving knees to Kitana's gut. The degenerates whipped both Liu Kang and Kitana, hoping for a man/woman collision, but the two Earthrealm warriors evaded each other when Liu leapfrogged over Kitana and Kitana ducked over Liu. Kitana struck Triple H with a spear while Liu Kang nailed HBK with a flying axe handle!
Jim Ross: What an incredible move from Liu Kang and Kitana!
Joey Styles: No kidding! If they collided with each other, imagine how bad it would've been for the both of them!
Knowing that their attacks stung them a bit, Liu Kang and Kitana leaped to the top rope and springboarded back with a double moonsault, hitting Triple H and HBK perfectly!
Michael Cole: Double Moonsault from the top rope!
Mike Tenay: DX is looking a little stiff!
Jerry Lawler: *snickering* Heh, stiff...
After both DX were rendered from that double moonsault, Twilight Sparkle grabbed a chair and ascended to the top rope, hoping to get The Rock by surprise. The pony leaped up...
..only for the Rock to catch her out of nowhere with his signature Spinebuster!
Joey Styles: *in surprise* Oh my god!
Jim Ross: Twilight Sparkle got flattened by that by-god spinebuster!
JBL: That was so loud, my eardrums are this close to rupturing!
Michael Cole: I think The Rock could pull out the most electrifying move in sports entertainment
Standing right over Twilight's head, The Rock looked to the screaming crowd and pulled out his right (or left) elbow pad, and threw it to the fans.
After swinging his arms back to back, The Rock ran back to the ropes and over again before he hit Twilight Sparkle with the People's Elbow!
Mike Tenay: People's Elbow! He's hit it!
Jim Ross: Twilight Sparkle's getting the horrible end of that elbow!
JBL: Somebody get some Pepto Bismol for her.
Meanwhile, the brawl between an already eliminated Dan and a woozily Austin Aries broke out in the audience stands.
Aries was trying to get away from the short anti-social freak, but he kept on tripping while he ran. Dan happened to take a 20 oz. Mountain Dew bottle and sloshed it all around Aries!
Jerry Lawler: Well, you definitely don't see that everyday!
Jim Ross: Dan poured an entire amount of Mountain Dew right on the body of Austin Aries!
Joey Styles: Austin's sure gonna be sticky in the morning!
After Aries was trying to flee from Dan's wrath, the countdown clock began to tick down to another entrant.
Michael Cole: Can't wait to see who number 62's gonna do in the ring!
10! 9! 8! 7! 6! 5! 4! 3! 2! 1! *BZZT!*
Entrant #62: Mario (Super Mario)
In an instant, the Super Mario Bros. theme song played all across Metlife Stadium as the 62nd entrant in this Royal Rumble came out to another standing ovation. With his signature red hat and blue overalls, Mario was ready for battle.
JBL: All right, here comes a returning favorite from the first Fanfiction Royal Rumble!
Jim Ross: It's video game icon and Nintendo legend, Mario!
Michael Cole: Even with or without his brother Luigi by his side, Mario is sure to be unstoppable.
Hopping over the top rope (like he did in the first FRR), Mario ended up double stomping on top of Mordecai. In cartoonish effect, when Mario stomped on Mordecai, the blue jay's body ended up flat as a pancake!
Jerry Lawler: *disturbed* Ah! How is that possible!?
JBL: I don't have any idea. But I sure hope that isn't Rock, HBK or Triple H that gets squashed like that.
After making quick work of Mordecai, Mario checked into a trash can and brought out a red turtle shell. A red turtle shell meant bad news for the competitors, concerning the fact that when they get hit, they suffer tremendous damage. To put it simply, the red turtle shell never misses.
Mario noticed Liu Kang, Kitana and Cody trying to get their hands on the Italian Plumber themselves, but Mario wasn't having it. He flung the red-turtle shell at the trio, and knocked both of them down simultaneously like bowling pins!
Jim Ross: It's safe to say that Mario struck Turkey there!
JBL: Who knew one little object can do so much damage? This is unbelievable!
Mike Tenay: I agree with you! That red turtle shell is lethal!
After taking care of the trio, Mario met Al Bundy, who tried to get him with a Spear.
With quick thinking, Mario leap-frogged in the air and got Al Bundy with a body slam, which proceeded with a ground pound while jumping in the air!
Joey Styles: *cringing* Oh my god! Mario pounded the shoe salesman hard!
Michael Cole: One of Mario's other signature moves, and it's coming into play!
Joey Styles: I think Al Bundy may have ruptured his chest region!
That ground pound from Mario took a lot out of the shoe salesman as Mario picked Al Bundy up and instantly threw him over the top rope, bring in Mario's first elimination!
JBL: The shoe salesman's out of there!
Michael Cole: Al Bundy fought hard, but his run in the Rumble is over. What a shame!
53rd Elimination: Al Bundy; Eliminated by: Mario; Duration: 28:52
Al Bundy left the ring with disappointment, but nevertheless, he left with his head held high with the entire Metlife Stadium giving him a tremendous ovation for his effort.
At the same time, Mario was busy picking up momentum as the fans went all crazy for the legendary game icon. But unfortunately, his momentum was knocked off in an instant when Big E. Langston surprised Mario with a clothesline!
Mike Tenay: Uh-oh! Mario was looking fresh there for a minute!
JBL: But Big E. smacked Mario down with a hard clothesline! That's gotta bite!
Not hesistating, Big E. picked up the Italian plumber on his shoulder and immediately dropped him down with a Big Ending!
Michael Cole: And Mario gets hit with a Big Ending!
Jerry Lawler: I hate to see the fact that Mario may end up eliminated early!
As Big E. Langston got back up on his feet, he was surprised by Shawn Michaels, who gave him a hard Sweet Chin Music on the face!
The impact was so hard that Big E. Langston tumbled over the top rope and hit the floor in a surprising elimination!
Jim Ross: My gawd, Big E.'s out!
Joey Styles: Langston has been eliminated by HBK!
Mike Tenay: Big E. is just speechless now!
54th Elimination: Big E. Langston; Eliminated by: Shawn Michaels; Duration: 11:05
After Big E. left the ring in stunned disappointment, Dan and Austin Aries were still continuing their brawl somewhere around the East Rutherford audience. The momentum was still on Dan's side as the angry malcontent forced Austin Aries to lay on a table motionless.
An idea suddenly popped out of Dan's mind. He broke away from Aries and started climbing up the stands quickly. The rest of the people stood up in amazement. Was Dan really gonna go high-risk and nail Austin Aries with a flying splash on the table from the stands? It was like he was using the steel handles as a scaffold!
Joey Styles: Oh, man... please tell me he isn't actually gonna do this!
Jim Ross: Like it or not Joey, I think that's about to happen!
JBL: Look out below!
JBL was right. Eyeing Austin Aries like a plate of breakfast sausages, Dan launched himself from the steel railings...
...and landed on Aries successfully with a body splash, successfully breaking the table! The rest of the crowd erupted in ovation and chanted "E-C-W! E-C-W! E-C-W!" as the commentators stood shocked.
Joey Styles: *in horror* OH MY FRICKIN GOD!
Jim Ross: *also in horror* Good god! Good god, what a maneuver!
Michael Cole: Austin Aries might have been eliminated from this Rumble thanks to that high-risk move!
Joey Styles: I think Dan was channeling former ECW star New Jack with that maneuver! (If you don't know who New Jack is, type "New Jack ECW" on google, so you'll see what I'm talking about.)
While Aries was rendered unconsciousness, the countdown clock played on the titantron once again, indicating that the 63rd entrant was about to make his way in about 12... 11...
10! 9! 8! 7! 6! 5! 4! 3! 2! 1! *BZZT!*
I'm here to show the world, I'M HERE TO SHOW THE WORLD! COME OOOOOOOON! BRING IT OOOOOOOON!
Entrant #63: Dolph Ziggler
Hearing that familiar theme song all across four corners of Metlife Stadium, the entire crowd responded with a positive pop as Dolph Ziggler came out of the entrance stage, minus A.J. Lee. After his familiar gyration and hair whip, the Showoff blasted off down the aisle!
Jerry Lawler: Well, here's another familiar face from the past two Fanfiction Royal Rumbles!
Joey Styles: Here comes the 2-time World Heavyweight Champion, "The Showoff" Dolph Ziggler!
JBL: Look at the ovation from this East Rutherford crowd! It's like Dolph Ziggler's the new Elvis!
After Dolph Ziggler got inside the ring, he noticed Mario trying to get up from the effects of Big E.'s Big Ending.
Dolph grabbed the back of the Plumber's head and nailed him with a Zig Zag!
Mike Tenay: Zig Zag! Mario gets the Zig Zag!
Michael Cole: Dolph Ziggler's off to a huge start!
Ziggler's next target was Mordecai, who ended up eating a Pedigree by the hands of Triple H.
Like juicy red meat, Ziggler started to give Mordecai a 10-elbow drop salute. Every elbow drop Ziggler pulled off made the blue jay's chest tender and soft. It was like a severe case of critical heartburn.
Ziggler got back up after the ninth elbow drop so that he could whip his hair for his screaming fans. And then he finally hit the last elbow drop.
Michael Cole: What a series of elbows for Ziggler!
Jim Ross: Mordecai's chest region feels like it's on fire!
JBL: You kidding? Dolph's elbows are like hammers themselves!
Ziggler was just getting started. After kicking Liu Kang right in the ribs, the Showoff leaped on the shaolin monk's back...
...and nailed Kitana with a hard-hitting DDT!
Joey Styles: My god! Kitana's beautiful face got crushed on the mat!
JBL: Ziggler's just gave Kitana her own personal face-lift! You ever see what's under that veil of hers?
Jerry Lawler: Even with or without a nose job, I still think she's smokin'!
Ziggler took time to show off for the crowd by doing his headstand, much to the fans enjoyment.
But he didn't have time to enjoy it as Alberto Del Rio caught Ziggler by surprise with an enzugiri!
Joey Styles: *cringing* YEOWCH! That's gotta sting!
Mike Tenay: That was so loud, even New Jersey Governor Chris Christie's eardrums may be bleeding after the show!
After Ziggler's eardrums were busy taking a dirtnap, SWAT Kat Razor came out of the entrance stage and and tried to climb up the chain wall, hoping to get a re-entry flag. Megakat City's Deputy Mayor and close friend, Callie Briggs, was also with him as well.
Jim Ross: Looks like we got another contestant hoping to get his hands on a re-entry flag!
JBL: Who, Callie? She'll be roadkill the first thing she enters the ring!
Michael Cole: No John, I'm talking about Razor. But that would be interesting if Callie was in the ring, though.
Jerry Lawler: I wouldn't like that to begin with. I don't want her 'kittens' harmed!
Like the grace of a kat, Razor ascended up the caged wall in record time. He was about to reach the re-entry flag with precision...
...until an unsuspecting Bully Ray came out of nowhere and hit Razor with his chain-wrapped fist. The attack proved effective as Razor limped upside down the caged wall. Not to mention, the attack brought out a round of boos from this East Rutherford audience.
Mike Tenay: Youch! Razor got knocked out by Bully Ray's chain!
JBL: Razor's head got flown out of Metlife Stadium! What a smart move by the leader of the Aces & Eights!
With a hateful smirk, Bully Ray reached and grabbed the re-entry flag, while Callie was left to tend a fallen Razor.
Meanwhile, Alberto Del Rio was still taking care of Dolph Ziggler by trapping him in the Cross Armbreaker! In Ziggler's mind, having his arm trapped in the maneuver was like getting trapped in a bear trap! It was painful and it can even snap the slightest of bones! The crowd delivered a mixed reaction because of ADR's little move.
Michael Cole: Alberto Del Rio's got the Cross Armbreaker locked in!
JBL: The Rumble rules apply that you can only get him over the top rope and get both feet on the floor and not by submission. But Del Rio's gonna try to incapacitate Ziggler!
Jim Ross: That's definitely a smart move by Del Rio if I ever saw one!
However, what Alberto didn't know was that Bully Ray ascended over the top turnbuckle and eyed the Mexican Aristocrat deathly.
Wrapping his chain hard, Bully Ray leaped and nailed ADR with a fist drop! Bully Ray managed to break open the skull of Alberto Del Rio!
Joey Styles: *cringing once again* My god! Bully Ray got Del Rio with the chain!
Jerry Lawler: It's not interesting since we hardly ever see the leader of Aces & Eights do an aerial assault!
Michael Cole: I think the attack forced Alberto Del Rio to don the crimson mask! That was horrendous!
Cole was right. Bully Ray's little fist drop to Alberto forced the Mexican Aristocrat to draw first blood.
The leader of Aces & Eights capitalized this opportunity and picked up Del Rio, therefore throwing him over the top rope and onto the floor instantly, much to the displeasure from the crowd and Alberto's best friend, Ricardo Rodriguez.
JBL: Alberto Del Rio is outta there!
Mike Tenay: All thanks to Bully Ray's steel chain!
Jerry Lawler: I don't know about you guys, but Alberto Del Rio needs help badly.
55th Elimination: Alberto Del Rio; Eliminated by: Bully Ray; Duration: 25:35
The rest of the EMTs and Ricardo checked on Alberto Del Rio and his bloody face caused by Bully Ray's chain. He was like a leaking faucet. It wasn't as nowhere as Joey Mercury's ladder accident at Armageddon 2006, but it was still pretty bad.
As the action went on, the EMTs hoisted Alberto on their shoulders and escorted out of ringside, much to the applause he was getting from the capacity crowd.
Michael Cole: You hate to see this happen, ladies and gentleman.
JBL: It's a very dangerous sport, Cole. And sometimes, you have to bleed for the sport.
Jim Ross: Let's only hope that damage of his was minor.
After Alberto was nowhere to be seen, the Rumble clock ticked down to it's 64th entrant in the 3rd annual Fanfiction Royal Rumble.
10! 9! 8! 7! 6! 5! 4! 3! 2! 1! *BZZT!*
Entrant #64: Marceline The Vampire Queen (Adventure Time)
Undead-type music played all across the stadium as a mysterious human being emerged from under the entrance stage. With her long dark hair, vampire fangs, grey wifebeater, blue denims, red boots and bass guitar, Marceline was ready to rock the Rumble.
Joey Styles: Well, I didn't expect this coming!
JBL: Straight off from Adventure Time, it's Marceline The Vampire Queen!
Michael Cole: Please tell me she isn't gonna hit somebody with that bass guitar of hers!
Jim Ross: Like it or not, that's gonna happen!
Contrary to Cole's words, Marceline got inside the ring with her big bass guitar, looking for a poor sucker to hit.
Then, she saw Kitana. When the ninja got up on her two feet, Marceline swung her guitar and blasted Kitana right in the back!
Joey Styles: *cringing once again* MY GOD! That was backbreaking!
Mike Tenay: That's like having a metal baseball bat to your back pretty hard!
After taking care of Princess Kitana, Marceline decided to target Liu Kang next.
After the Shaolin Monk was trying his best to pull off a suplex on Cody, Marcelline did his best Barry Bonds impression by whacking Liu Kang in the back with her bass guitar! As an insult to injury, Cody ended up giving Liu Kang a Codebreaker!
JBL: Ow! Now Liu Kang gets it right on his back! I'm certain Kitana's familiar with that term!
Joey Styles: Not to mention the Codebreaker Liu Kang got!
Jim Ross: Marceline has gone ape-crap crazy!
Nailing Liu Kang and Kitana successfully, Marceline decided to target Twilight Sparkle, who was busy trying trap, Dolph Ziggler with an unsuspecting Boston Crap.
With a lick of her lips, Marceline swung the guitar and blasted Twilight Sparkle successfully in the back. This was the third time she used her bass guitar as a weapon!
Mike Tenay: Down goes Twilight! Marceline managed to save Dolph Ziggler for the time being!
Jerry Lawler: That bass of hers makes Flea from the Red Hot Chili Peppers look like scum!
After she did a little bass solo to the appreciative fans, Marceline turned around...
...only to eat a spinebuster from Triple H! It was like she didn't see it coming!
Jim Ross: Triple H ends her number with a spinebuster!
Michael Cole: Marceline gets crowned on the mat! And I know what may come up here, King!
Not wasting any time, Triple H got Marceline up and slammed her down with the Pedigree!
Jerry Lawler: Pedigree! Triple H nails it!
JBL: That oughta be a nail in the coffin for Marceline there!
Mike Tenay: She was on quite a role, but Marceline gets stopped by the Game!
While Marceline was still laid out motionless, Austin Aries managed to slowly get over the barricade and re-entered under the ring, despite taking brutal damage from Dan outside.
Not having to waste time to access every competitor, Austin Aries decided to get Liu Kang up on his feet and get him in the suplex position.
Joey Styles: I think Austin Aries is back up on his feet!
JBL: That was amazing how much damage he took from a short freak like Dan. That guy needs to be locked up in a asylum.
Michael Cole: I don't know JBL, but Aries got Liu Kang off the ground! Could this be a brainbuster?
As soon as Austin had Liu Kang up in the air, he immediately dropped him down with a hard brainbuster!
Mike Tenay: Austin got him with the brainbuster!
Jim Ross: That could be enough to get him over the top rope and onto the floor!
Meanwhile, as Austin was still going to work all over the Mortal Kombat Grand Champion, Shawn Michaels and The Rock decided to team up and try to get Bully Ray over the top rope. The leader of Aces and Eights was suddenly trapped in the turnbuckle with his body facedown.
The entire crowd all screamed and cheered in unison for the elimination attempt.
Jerry Lawler: Look at this! Bully Ray may go out early!
JBL: This is gonna be a shame if the leader of Aces & Eights goes out early before he started coming in!
Joey Styles: I would be willing to see that happen! I can't stand the Aces & Eights!
Jim Ross: I know how you feel.
Before Bully Ray could feel his hand slipping on the apron, his former tag team partner Devon came out of the crowd with the faction's secret weapon... the ball-peen hammer.
While the referees weren't looking, Devon came in the ring and whacked both Shawn and Rock in the ribs! He pulled his partner up on his feet and helped Bully Ray get back in the ring.
Michael Cole: Hey, come on! That's not fair! Devon's not even a legal participant!
JBL: I happen to think they don't give a damn what anyone else thinks!
After Devon checked on the leader of Aces & Eights, Mordecai managed to find some impressive steel-plated shoulder pads. Seeing the way Bully Ray was cheating with Devon by his side, the bluejay decided to take matters into his own hands.
He took a three point stance and charged right at Bully Ray and Devon, successfully ramming them both into the turnbuckle! And it was much to the delight from this Metlife Stadium crowd, who all chanted "Sack! Sack! Sack!" due to Mordecai's impressive act of offense!
Joey Styles: Wow, Mordecai sacked Bully Ray and Devon at the same time!
Mike Tenay: It's amazing how he got his intensity from former NFL great Lawrence Taylor!
Jim Ross: That hit could sting both Bully Ray and Devon for a week, hell, maybe a year if possible!
After both Bully Ray and Devon were nailed in LaLa-Land, the Rumble clock ticked down to another entrant yet again. The fans felt psyched and energized of who number 65 was gonna be!
Michael Cole: Here comes number 65! Who's it gonna be?
10! 9! 8! 7! 6! 5! 4! 3! 2! 1! *BZZT!*
OHHHHHH YEAAAAAAAAAAAH!
Entrant #65: Matt Hardy
Hearing those two words from the audio speakers, the entire crowd all erupted in applause as the 65th entrant, Matt Hardy, came out flashing his V1 hand sign to the rest of the East Rutherford faithful!
Joey Styles: OH MY FRICKING GOD!
Jim Ross: It's Matt Hardy! Matt Hardy is back in the Royal Rumble!
Michael Cole: Perhaps one-half of one of the most successful and decorated teams in WWE history! Not to mention a former ECW Champion, United States Champion, and Cruiserweight Champion! This is exciting!
Mike Tenay: He has jumped ship several times, as he's been in the WWE for most of his career, before heading down the mountain to TNA and Ring of Honor!
After throwing down the V1 sign, Matt Hardy took off running. When he got inside the ring, he decided to go on a frenzy and started hitting people he saw in order: Dolph, Rock, HBK, Triple H, and Mario was the ones that Hardy targeted after.
Marceline managed to get up slightly and swing her bass guitar at him, but Hardy managed to duck and hit her with the Side Effect, one of Matt Hardy's signature moves!
JBL: Watch out! Side Effect!
Jerry Lawler: And poor Marceline gets it hard!
After Hardy quickly got up, he noticed Cody trying to surprise Matt with a clothesline.
Too smart to fall for that stuff, Matt Hardy ducked down and hit Cody with yet another Side Effect!
Michael Cole: Wow! Now Cody got it!
Mike Tenay: Matt Hardy is like a tornado rolling through everything that comes in his way!
Jim Ross: Too bad Marceline and Cody got trapped in his vortex!
Matt's frenzy was just continuing. Hardy picked up Mario and gave him a body slam, right before he would ascend through the middle rope.
With an "OHHHHHHHHH!" coming through his lips and the V1 hand signal displayed through his hands, Hardy leaped and nailed the Italian plumber with a leg drop!
Jim Ross: Hardy drops the leg! Hardy drops the leg!
JBL: This is turning to be one wild Rumble, J.R.!
While Matt Hardy was still getting pumped up with an ounce of adrenaline, Austin Aries tried to capitalize by trying to pick up Mario off his feet and get him over the top rope.
Luckily, Mario awoke in time and noticed that he was tumbling over the top rope. His gloves held on to the middle and bottom rope for safety.
Michael Cole: Austin's gonna try to eliminate Mario from this matchup!
Mike Tenay: I think Austin Aries is doing the right thing in his mind! Having to eliminate a contestant who's already roughed up enough to be thrown over!
Joey Styles: I guess you oughta thank Matt Hardy for that!
Austin Aries was trying his hardest to get Mario over and out, but it proved to be a mistake.
Out of nowhere, Dolph Ziggler grabbed the lower legs of Austin Aries and lifted them high in the air, which forced The Greatest Man That Ever Lived to fly over the top rope and land on the floor! Aries's elimination gave out a mixed reaction, mostly cheers.
Jerry Lawler: Uh-oh! Austin Aries is gone!
Jim Ross: The World Heavyweight Champion has eliminated Aries from this Rumble!
JBL: That's gonna be a shame for Austin Aries. He was a favorite to win this Rumble, only to get eliminated by Ziggler.
56th Elimination: Austin Aries; Eliminated by: Dolph Ziggler; Duration: 13:10
Austin Aries left the ring speechless and devastated. Devastated that he wasn't walking out the million-dollar winner.
After Aries's departure, Cody went under the ring, trying to look for a little souvenir around Dan's so-called "Shopping Cart of Hardcore". Cody happened to brought out what seemed to be a glass encased picture of the "Heartbreak Kid", Shawn Michaels.
Joey Styles: Well, that's an interesting weapon of choice! It's a glass-encased picture of HBK!
Mike Tenay: I hate to imagine who's gonna get the worst end of that pic!
Cody decided to go up on the top rope and stare at Shawn Michaels, who was busy trying to bring down Bully Ray to his knees.
After failing to even take Bully Ray down a notch, HBK turned around and saw Cody trying to leap up in the air with the picture in his hand.
Using his smarts, HBK moved away, which forced the glass picture to land right on top of Bully Ray's head, painfully breaking it on impact! For hilarious results, Bully Ray's head popped up in place, tearing the hole that featured HBK's entire head.
Joey Styles: *in horror* Oh my god! Cody went up to the top and smashed Bully Ray with the glass-encased picture!
Michael Cole: Bully Ray got crowned hard! I think my eardrums bled hearing the entire glass shatter!
JBL: Not only the glass shattered, so did Bully Ray!
The glass attack he suffered at the hands of Cody forced Bully Ray to bleed profusely. Not even his partner Devon or the rest of his Aces & Eights members could help him out this time.
As Bully Ray fell with a thud, Twilight Sparkle had Marceline The Vampire Queen trapped on the turnbuckle as the magic pony's hoove connected with the Vampire's face over and over again. Those shots were enough to make Marceline groggy and fall on her ass.
Mike Tenay: What could be going through the mind of Twilight Sparkle right about now?
Jim Ross: I got no idea, but whatever she's thinking, it isn't gonna be pretty!
She separated from Marceline a bit, and managed to grab a bowling ball from Dan's "Shopping Cart of Hardcore".
With a greedy smirk through her face, Twilight rolled the ball straight into Marceline's hoo-ha! The entire crowd started chanting "Split! Split! Split!", much to the displeasure of the vampire queen herself!
Joey Styles: *cringes yet again* Oh my frickin' god! I'm definitely gonna be sick!
Michael Cole: I think the usual could be said for Marceline as well!
Jerry Lawler: You think she's gonna sound like one of the Bee Gees?
JBL: *chuckling* I think she's girly enough to sound like one.
As Marceline was moments away from vomiting her guts out, 20 seconds popped out of the titantron, indicating that the next entrant was about to make his way soon enough.
Meanwhile, The Rock grabbed the legs of a still-fallen Liu Kang, wrapped him up like a pretzel, and turned around, locking in one of the most dangerous submission moves in all of wrestling, The Sharpshooter! Liu Kang woke himself up to the excruciating pain! Screaming and looking for some kind of rope to break him free! Nevertheless, it was hopeless from here!
Jim Ross: The Rock's got the Sharpshooter in, but you still have to throw out your opponent via elimination!
Mike Tenay: I think the People's Champ has that message straight forward!
Joey Styles: Just think of the people who used this move. Think of Trish Stratus, Shawn Michaels and Bret "Hitman" Hart!
Jerry Lawler: Don't forget Tyson Kidd and the daughter of Jim "The Anvil" Neidhart, Natalya!
Jim Ross: Thanks for reminding me! Unfortunately, I think Liu Kang wants to forget being locked in that hold!
Liu Kang was locked in the sharpshooter for a good amount of time.
That was until Kitana decided to snap it up by giving The Rock a one-handed bulldog, therefore saving her partner and close confidant.
JBL: Oh, Kitana out of nowhere!
Joey Styles: She put down Rock for the time being!
After she lended a hand for Liu Kang to get up, the twosome looked at the Rumble clock and noticed that the 66th entrant was about to make his/hers way into the match.
Whoever number 66 was, Liu Kang and Kitana were pumped and ready. This was gonna be one-hell of a fight.
Jerry Lawler: I can't wait to see what number 66 is gonna be! I'm looking psyched!
JBL: You better be psyched, because this is gonna tear the roof off!
To be continued, once again...
