Universal Character Association: Royal Reckoning
I Have Been Patiently Waiting In Line
Watching Everyone Passing Me By
And I Can't Seem To Figure Out
When's It Gonna Be My Turn?
I'm Sick And Tired Of Paying My Dues
Played The Game 'Til The End And I Lose
So Can Somebody Tell Me
When's It Gonna Be My Turn?
When's It Gonna Be My Turn?
Yesterday I've Learned From Tomorrow Is Uncertain
So Why Can't I Just Make My Turn Today?
("My Turn" by Hoobastank plays over the loudspeakers)
Fireworks suddenly go off on the Titantron, exploding on the top of it before going all around it in a complete square before going off machine-gun like across the stage before shooting off diagonally before going in a half circle, and then shooting up into the air along with the Titantron shooting out fireworks before a final blast of fireworks came out from the stage. The lights came on and the crowd immediately exploded into loud cheers as they were absolutely ready for this highly anticipated PPV, the Final Clash sign hanging from the ceiling. The crowd held up many signs such as "Time Is Up, Super Mario!", "Ultimate Life Form vs. God of Destruction: Who Will Win?", "All Hail the Rookie Revolution," "Who is FriendlyRessurected?", and "Red, the Three-Time Rumble Winner." The camera goes to Church and Sarge at the announce table at ringside.
"Hello everybody! We welcome you all to one of UCA's biggest pay-per-views, Royal Reckoning!" Church said. "We are live from the Allstate Arena in Chicago, Illinois, one of the great wrestling cities in the US! And tonight marks the start of the Path to Final Clash!"
"Our card is completely stacked with title matches and grudge bouts!" Sarge stated. "And among this stacked card, it is highlighted by two big time main events! One of which is the Last Man Standing Match between Sonic and Mario for the World Heavyweight Title! It's certainly personal this time between these long-time rivals! It's no doubt going to be blood and violence! And I love blood and violence!"
"And then there's the big match of the night!" Church said. "The Royal Rumble Match! 30 men will enter this match, with the lone winner getting a first-class ticket to the main event of Final Clash And with so many favorites in this match, there's no telling what will happen!"
"Final Clash will begin to take shape after tonight, and I believe that it will be a shape that the Reds will look down upon favorably" Sarge stated.
"This is the PPV that everyone in Fiction Wrestling has been waiting for, and it's time to get underway with our first match of the night." Church said.
"The following is your opening contest of the evening scheduled for one fall...and is for the UCA Intercontinental Championship!"
When All Is Lost To You Inside
When All The Darkness Takes The Light
The Ritual, It Has Begun
And Now You Tear Away From Everyone
Disconnected, So Alone (Yeah)
Severed Ties From All You Know
Isolation Brings You To The End
Until You Love Again, (Oh)
Isolation, If You Could Only See
What Will Come To Be, (Yeah!)
("Isolation" by Alter Bridge)
The crowd gave a huge mixed reaction, about 55/45 in cheer/boo ratio, as Jason came out moments later to the music. He held the Intercontinental Title in one hand as he looked out to the crowd with a stoic expression on his face, with one person holding a sign saying "Jason: Insanity Defined." Jason suddenly grew a maniacal grin on his face as he raised his title and a fist into the air, and then walked down the ramp, placing the title on his shoulder. He got on the apron and entered the ring, climbing a turnbuckle and raised the title high into the air, staring out into the crowd with his insane look.
"Introducing first, from South Island, weighing in at 234 lbs., he is the reigning, defending UCA Intercontinental Champion, Jason Krueger!"
"Chicago is showing why it's one of the most famous wrestling cities with this reaction to Jason!" Church said. "Half of these guys are practically cheering on this maniac, despite what he's done! I can't believe they are actually doing such a thing, but I think that just shows Chicago doesn't think like most cities!"
"Many Chicago fans must either respect Jason's wrestling ability and what he's going through tonight...or they just love crazy bastards." Sarge said. "I'm glad some of these fans are smart enough to cheer on Jason here, but obviously the rest of the fans are dirty Blues for booing him! In any case, Jason is going to destroy that little angel once and for all!"
"We'll see about that, because Jason has pushed Pit too far with his mind games, and has turned Pit into an angel on a mission!" Church said. "And this match is only going to make winning the Rumble from No. 1 harder for Jason!"
It's Not Like I'm Walking Alone Into The Valley Of The Shadow Of Death
Stand Beside One Another, 'Cause It Ain't Over Yet
I'd Be Willing To Bet That If We Don't Back Down
You And I Will Be The Ones That Are Holding The Crown In The End
When It's Over, We Can Say, "Well Done"
But Not Yet, 'Cause It's Only Just Begun
So, Pick Up, And Follow Me, We're The Only Ones
To Fight This Thing, Until We've Won
We Drive On and Don't Look Back
It Doesn't Mean We Can't Learn From Our Past
All The Things That We Mighta Done Wrong
We Could've Been Doing This All Along
("Pillar" by Frontline)
The crowd once again gave out a mixed reaction, a 50/50 cheer/boo ratio, as Pit came out onto the stage, a determined and serious expression on his face as he held his bow in his hand. He threw the bow into the air and flew into the air to catch it as it came down, landing on the ground, white pyro exploding out of the stage at that moment. Pit made his way down the ramp as fans held signs like "The Angel Shall Smite the Devil" and "Pit: The Second Coming of John Cena." Pit climbed up the step and got on the top turnbuckle, raising his bow into the air as he stared down Jason, who just raised his title into the air.
"And the challenger, from Overworld, weighing at 216 lbs., Pit!"
"Just like Jason, Pit is getting a very mixed reaction in Chicago!" Church said. "Half of the people are firmly behind him to take the IC Title from him, but it seems the other half don't seem to like his act in UCA. But right now, I don't think Pit could care about how the people are taking to him. What he cares about is kicking Jason's ass for what he has done."
"The angel is making too big a deal out of this!" Sarge said. "So Jason destroyed a statue, so what? Pit shouldn't get so angry over such a thing. He's such a stupid Blue."
"You really are an idiot. Jason disgraced Palutena and Heaven with what he did!" Church said. "Pit can't forgive that in his book. And tonight, he looks to take the title in the name of Palutena."
Pit got off the turnbuckle and placed his bow outside the ring as Jason handed his title belt to the ref. The ref raised the title into the air in the middle of the ring for all to see before handing it to ringside and ringing the bell. Pit and Jason wasted no time in meeting up in a very aggressive lock-up, with the two trying to push one another back. Eventually, Jason won as he pushed Pit into the corner, and when he did, broke the lock-up and landed a hard right across the face. Jason began delivering fists to the face of Pit before ramming his shoulder into the gut of Pit multiple times. He pulled Pit out of the corner and hit a Scoop Slam on the angel, and then bounced off the ropes. Pit rolled over onto his stomach, and Jason stepped over him and bounced off the ropes. When he came back, Pit had stood up and caught him with a Hip Toss. Jason got back up, but was immediately hit with a Dropkick. Jason rolled over to the corner and sat against it, and Pit immediately went over and began to stomp the crap out of him. Pit continued in anger until the ref pulled him away, warning him not to go overboard or he'll be disqualified Pit glared at the ref before going back to Jason, but Jason suddenly kicked him in the knee, causing him to fall to a knee. Jason quickly stood up, grabbed Pit's head and nailed a Spinning Neckbreaker. Jason covers! 1...Quick kick out by Pit! Jason wastes no time and grabs Pit in a Side Headlock!
"Jason took advantage of Pit's anger overtaking him there!" Church said. "Now he's in control, but for how long?"
"That Pit's anger made him too overzealous!" Sarge stated. "He obviously doesn't know how to control it!"
Jason tightened the Side Headlock, but Pit slowly stood up with Jason in tow, and managed to push him off and into the ropes. Jason bounced off them as Pit went for a Back Body Drop, but Jason leaped over him and rolled him up in a Sunset Flip Pin! 1...2...Pit kicks out! Both got to their feet and Jason went for him, but Pit took him down with an Arm Drag. Jason got back up, but was brought down with another Arm Drag. Jason managed to get to his feet and was pushed into the corner by Pit before being whipped into the adjacent corner. Pit ran full speed and nailed a Running Dropkick on Jason in the corner! Jason fell to the mat and Pit covered him! 1...2...Kick out by Jason! Pit picked up Jason and went to lift him up for a Suplex, but Jason remained rooted to the ground, and after several moments of trying, Jason suddenly lifted Pit up and hit him with a Front-Layout Suplex! Pit landed on his stomach, and Jason hit a Leg Drop across the neck! Jason stood up and began stomping on the neck viciously!
"Jason's targeting the neck!" Church said. "He's trying to soften it up for Absolute Destruction or Total Corruption!"
"Smart strategy by Jason, this will that angel never to mess with the Reds!" Sarge said.
Pit held his neck at the multiple stompings when Jason suddenly nailed a Jumping Knee Drop across the neck. Jason turned Pit over for the cover! 1...2...Pit kicks out! Jason picked up Pit and grabbed his head, going for the Mental Breakdown (Snapmare Driver), but Pit suddenly pushed Jason away into the rope, and clothesline him over them. Jason however landed on the apron, and Pit saw this. Holding his neck in slight pain, he waited for Jason to stand up and then leaped at the ropes, and nailed a Springboard Dropkick on Jason, knocking him off the apron to the ground! Pit got back up and held the ropes, waiting as Jason managed to get back to his feet on the outside...
...AND PIT NAILED A CORKSCREW PLANCHA ON JASON!
"Pit flies high and gets it all!" Church said.
"Why didn't he just crash horribly? That would have been so much better!" Sarge said.
Jason was laid out and Pit proceeded to nail several hard rights to the downed champs in anger before picking him up and throwing him into the ring. Pit slid in and covered Jason!

Jason kicks out at 2.3!
Pit immediately mounted Jason and began driving unanswered fists to Jason's skull in anger until the ref managed to pull him back, admonishing him again. Pit just glared at the ref before picking up Jason and whipped him into the corner. As Jason slumped in it, Pit ran towards Jason, but the Champ quickly Back Body Dropped the angel over the ropes. Pit landed on the apron and caught Jason with a hard right as he turned around. Jason stumbled out of the corner as a result, and Pit springboarded off the ropes towards him...
...Jason moves out of the way! Pit crashes down on the mat stomach-first, and Pit holds his gut as he stumbles to his feet! Jason quickly grabbed his head and had them back-to-back...
...AND HITS A HANGMAN'S NECKBREAKER!
"OH DAMN!" Church said. "Jason just nailed a SICK Neckbreaker on that already damaged neck!"
"Did you see the way his neck landed across his shoulder? It was awesome!" Sarge said happily.
Pit writhed in pain as he held his neck and Jason covered him!

Pit kicks out at 2.5!
Jason rolled Pit over to his stomach and proceeded to drop multiple elbows across the neck of Pit. After the sixth one, Jason picked up Pit and nailed a Standing Spinebuster on the angel. Jason sneered down at Pit before picking him up and lifting him into Oklahoma Slam position. Jason walked around with Pit in his arms, chuckling darkly, when Pit suddenly struggled in his grip and and managed to land on his feet...
...and quickly plants Jason with a Reverse STO! Jason holds his face in pain as Pit struggles to his feet, holding his neck. Jason gets up and Pit rushes at him, but Jason suddenly gets behind him, grabbing the head, and hitting an Inverted Headlock Backbreaker followed by a Neckbreaker! Pit held his neck and back before Jason picked him up and with all his might, whipped him into the corner! Pit crashes chest-first into it, and backs out of it hurt...
..and Jason nails a Big Boot to the neck of Pit!
"AGAIN to the neck!" Church said. "Jason is trying to destroy it here!"
"This is such great strategy by Jason! That's why he's the IC Champ!" Sarge said.
Jason turns Pit over and covers him!

Jason picked up the groggy Pit and got in his face, sneering at him and talking some trash at him with a sick grin. Jason grabbed the head for the Mental Breakdown...
...PIT REVERSES IT INTO A RUSSIAN LEG SWEEP! Jason arches his back as Pit rolls away. Both managed to get to their feet and Jason threw a clothesline angrily, but Pit ducked it! He hooked Jason's arms back-to-back, and executed a Backslide Pin!

Jason kicks out at 2.7!
Both scrambled to their feet, and Pit went for an Enziguri, but Jason ducked it. Pit fell on the mat stomach-first, and that allowed Jason to grab him, put him the Suplex position and lift him up...
...AND HIT THE BRINK OF INSANITY (Suplex Lift Spun Into a Neckbreaker)!
"The Brink of Insanity connects!" Church said."That did no favors to that neck!"
"Put this one in the books, it's over!" Sarge said.
Jason hooks the leg of Pit.

Pit kicks out at 2.8!
Jason looked a bit angry at the kick out and decided to finish things. He picked up Pit and lifted him onto his shoulders, Fireman's Carry-style. He smirked at the crowd evilly, but Pit suddenly struggled on his shoulders and landed behind him. He pushed Jason into the ropes, and Jason bounced off and into a Back Heel Kick from Pit! Both men were laid out at the moment for several moments and the ref began to count. 1...2...3...4...Both men began to stir...5...6...Both men slowly began to get to their feet...7...8...Both stood up breaking the count. Jason rushed at Pit, but Pit ducked the clothesline. Jason turned around and was hit with a clothesline from Pit! Jason got back up and Pit nailed a Back Elbow on him, and when he got back up, Pit nailed a big Dropkick to the chest. The crowd gave a mixed reaction as Pit began feeling it! Holding his neck, he picked Jason up, and hooked him up...
...Jason elbowed him in the side of the head before he could hit the Angel Slam! Pit let go of Jason, and Jason kicked Pit in the gut before hooking him up, and lifting him for another Brink of Insanity! But Pit twisted himself mid-lifted and landed behind Jason! He hooked Jason up from behind up...

"Pit's finally gaining momentum here!" Church said. "He's taking it to the devil big-time!"
Pit covered Jason!

Jason kicks out before three!
"Oh thank God, Jason kicked out!" Sarge sighed in relief.
Pit looked at Jason angrily before picking him up and with all his might threw him over the top rope! Jason, however, landed on the apron, but Pit saw this. Before Jason could do anything, Pit ran and spun around...
...AND NAILED JASON WITH THE ARROW SHOT! Jason fell off the apron and crashed down to the ground with a splat, laid out completely. Pit saw this, and quickly got on the apron. Sizing up the downed Jason, Pit leaped onto the middle ropes...
...AND HIT A SPRINGBOARD MOONSAULT TO JASON ON THE OUTSIDE!
"HOLY SHIT!" Church exclaimed. "PIT JUST NAILED A FUCKIN' SPRINGBOARD MOONSAULT OF ALL THINGS TO THE OUTSIDE!"
"THAT PIT IS CRAZY!" Sarge exclaimed. "I CAN'T BELIEVE HE ACTUALLY DID THAT!"
The live crowd loved the move and chanted "Holy Shit!" as Pit held his stomach in pain before standing up and grabbing Jason, throwing him into the ring. Pit slid in and made the cover!

...WAIT! Jason rolls through the Crossbody and stands up with Pit in his arms, showing a surprising amount of strength! With even more strength, he lifts Pit onto his shoulders, and tried to go for the Absolute Destruction! But Pit got out of it once more and landed behind Jason, and quickly nailed a Half-Nelson Bulldog on him!

PIT KICKS OUT AT 2.9!
Jason growled before picking up Pit and dragging him to the nearby corner. He lifted Pit and placed him on the top turnbuckle, and then made his way up there with him. He hooked up Pit for a Superplex, and went to lift him up, but Pit held onto the ropes and refused to be moved! Jason tried a few more times to no avail, and then Pit began to strike Jason in the gut, causing him to let go. Pit pushed Jason off the turnbuckle and down to the mat and stood on top. He waited as Jason got up, and dived of...
...AND NAILED A DIVING TORNADO DDT!
"It's time for Jason to get spiked on HIS head now!" Church said.

He tried to go for a Running Powerslam, but Pit landed behind him. Jason turned around, and Pit went for a Superkick, but Jason caught the kick.

...Pit lands on the second turnbuckle! Jason stands up unknown to this and turns to face Pit, and Pit suddenly lands a Diving Moonsault to the standing Jason!
"Oh man, Moonsault to Jason!" Church said. "Pit's refusing to die here!"
"Dammit, Jason, just break his neck already!" Sarge stated.

...AND HITS A TOP-ROPE OVERHEAD BELLY-TO-BELLY SUPLEX!
"Holy Crap!" Church said. "Jason just landed a huge move off the top out of nowhere! Both men are down!"
"Whoever gets up first could take control here!" Sarge said. "Come on Jason! Stand up for the Reds!"
The crowd was loud with cheers as Pit and Jason were laid out on opposite sides of the ring. The ref began to count as both men slowly began to move at 3. The ref counted to 6 as both men got up, and they made it to their feet by the count of 9. Jason saw Pit leaning against the ropes, and ran at him, but Pit Back Body Dropped him over the top rope! Jason landed on the apron however, grabbed Pit's head from behind, and nailed an Inverted Hotshot against the ropes! Pit's neck bounced off the ropes and he fell to the mat, holding it in pain.

"You Just Got...WHAT THE HELL?!" Sarge exclaimed.
"PIT'S STILL IN THIS THING!" Church said. "DESPITE ALL THE DAMAGE TO HIS NECK, PIT STILL FIGHTS!"
Jason was now frustrated as he growled darkly before picking up Pit and lifting onto his shoulders! He tried to go for Absolute Destruction once again, but Pit again got out of it and landed in front of Jason, quickly planting him with an Impaler DDT! Jason rolled over to the corner from the impact while Pit was on his knees holding his neck. Jason stood up against the corner, and Pit took the chance to run at him and leap onto Jason's shoulder Kofi Kingston-style, and began pounding his fist into Jason's face repeatedly. But after the seventh punch, Jason ran out of the corner with Pit on his shoulders and hit him with a Running Powerbomb! Jason fell to his knees as Pit rolled to the ropes, holding his neck once more. Jason got up and waited for Pit to get up, and Pit stood up near the ropes. Jason ran forward...
...and hit Pit with a Cactus Clotheseline, sending both over the top rope and to the ground! Jason immediately mounted Pit and began punching the living daylights out of him before getting up and backing up a bit. Pit rolled over to near the steps and slowly got up, and with a sick snarl on his face, Jason rushed at him...
...PIT DROP TOE HOLDS JASON FACE-FIRST INTO THE STEEL STEPS! Jason is dazed as he staggers away and turns around, and Pit kicks him in the gut and places him between his legs, and lifts him upside down...
...AND PILEDRIVES HIM ONTO THE PADDED CONCRETE!
"SWEET SAM HELL!" Sarge exclaimed. "THAT DAMN ANGEL JUST PILEDRIVED JASON TO HELL!"
"PAYBACK FOR THE HELL JASON PUT HIM THROUGH!" Church said.
The crowd went "Oooohhhh" as Jason fell to to the ground in a heap. Pit glared at Jason before picking him up and throwing him into the ring. Pit slid back in and covered Jason!
"THIS HAS GOT TO BE IT!" Church said. "In the words of Vegeta, this is...

JASON KICKS OUT AT 2.9999!
"Mat-HOLY CRAP! JASON KICKED OUT!" Church shouted.
"YES! THE REDS STILL LIVE!" Sarge exclaimed.
Pit looked stunned at the kick out as the crowd went wild, and 60% chanted "Jason! Jason! Jason!" Pit sighed in frustration and stood up, picking up Jason and placing him between his legs. He hooked up his arms, and tried to go for the Wings of Icarus...
...but Jason Back Body Drops him! Pit rolled onto his stomach in pain and Jason stumbled over to the corner, a bit of a dazed look on his face before turning around to face Pit, his head held down. Pit managed to get to his feet, and walked over to Jason...
...Jason suddenly lifts his head up, a maniacal, and bat-shit crazy grin on his face! He suddenly tackles Pit down the ground and begins punching with a ferocity that was unseen from him before! Pit tried to cover up, but it was to no avail as most punches connected! Jason stood up and began stomping the crap out of Pit with great satisfaction on his face! He then picked up Pit, hooked both arms, and planted him with a Double Arm DDT!
"My God, what the hell has gotten into Jason?!" Church exclaimed. "It's like he's snapped more than he already was! He's absolutely lost it!"
"It must have been that piledriver from earlier!" Sarge stated. "Getting dropped on his head must have made him even more insane than before! It's made Jason an even MORE dangerous person!"
Pit held his neck in pain once more as Jason stalked Pit, chuckling like a maniac. Pit slowly managed to make it to his feet, Jason twitching with great eagerness. Pit turned around, and Jason lifted him onto his shoulders...
...Pit suddenly elbows Jason in the head multiple times! This causes Jason to let go and Pit lands in front of him, and the angel kicks Jason in the gut. He places Jason between his legs, hooks him up, lifts him and spins as he does so...
...AND HITS THE WINGS OF ICARUS!
"WINGS OF ICARUS!" Church shouted. "PIT GOT IT! NEW INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPION!"
Jason bounced off the mat and rolled across the ring. Pit tried to go for a cover, but Jason rolled out of the ring from the impact.
"YES! THE IMPACT CAUSED JASON TO ROLL OUT OF THE RING!" Sarge cheered. "THE REDS ARE SMILING UPON JASON!"
Pit looked angry as he pounded the mat in frustration before rolling out of the ring. He grabbed Jason and thew him back into the ring once more. Pit got up on the apron and grabbed the ropes, readying himself as Jason slowly got to his feet. Once he did and turned around, Pit leaped on the top ropes and Springboarded off it...
...JASON CATCHES HIM ON HIS SHOULDERS! The crowd popped in disbelief as Pit flailed around helplessly, but Jason held onto him, and with that maniacal grin on his face...
...DRILLED PIT WITH ABSOLUTE DESTRUCTION!
"JASON FINALLY GOT THE ABSOLUTE DESTRUCTION!" Church exclaimed. "PIT GOT DROPPED ON HIS HEAD AND DAMAGED NECK!"
"Stick a fork in Pit, he's done!" Sarge stated.
Pit was laid out across the mat as Jason got to a knee. But instead of going for a cover, Jason just stared at the downed Pit for a few moments before giving off a dark smile. He picked up Pit and lifted him up, going over to a corner and placing him onto the top turnbuckle.
"What the...?" Church asked bewildered. "What is Jason doing?! He had the match won!"
"The Champ's got something up his sleeve here!" Sarge said.
Jason climbed up the corner to meet with Pit before turning around to face the ring. He grabbed Pit and in no time, lifted him onto his shoulders, Fireman's Carry-style! The crowd exploded as they realized what was coming!
"THAT POSITION!" Church exclaimed. "FUCK! HE'S GOING FOR THAT MOVE! HE CAN'T BE DOING THIS!"
"THIS IS THE MOVE THAT BROKE CLOUD STRIFE'S NECK!" Sarge shotued. "AND WITH THE DAMAGE TO PIT'S NECK, PIT IS ABOUT TO BEFALL THE SAME FATE!"
"DON'T DO IT DAMMIT! DON'T YOU DO IT!" Church stated.
Jason looked out to the crowd with his very disturbing, insane grin as he chuckled maniacally. He dived off with Pit on his shoulders...
...AND DRILLED PIT WITH A TOP-ROPE ABSOLUTE DESTRUCTION!
"MY GOD! MY GOD!" Church said. "THAT PSYCHO JUST HIT THE SUPER ABSOLUTE DESTRUCTION! SON OF A BITCH, HE MAY HAVE BROKEN PIT'S NECK!"
"LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, WE BID FAREWELL TO PIT'S NECK!" Sarge said.
The crowd was absolutely exploding in the arena as Pit was laid out across the mat, unmoving. Jason flashed a psychotic, joyful grin on his face as he sat up before going over to Pit and hooking the leg.
"Pit, my little angel..." Sarge said.

"Here is your winner, and STILL UCA Intercontinental Champion, Jason Krueger!"
The crowd was giving off a huge mixed reaction to the result as Jason got off of Pit and stood up, chuckling insanely down at the angel. The ref knelt down to check on the fallen angel and as he did so, Jason got out of the ring and grabbed his title from ringside. He entered the ring again and climbed the turnbuckle, smirking maniacally as he slowly raised his title in the air with one hand.
"Jason has retained the Intercontinental Title, but that psycho may have just broken Pit's neck with that move!" Church said. "What was the point of that damn top-rope Absolute Destruction?! He already had the match won with the first Absolute Destruction!"
"THAT was simply a statement from Jason!" Sarge said. "And that statement was that nobody is going to take the title from Jason, and nobody is going to keep him from winning the Rumble, No. 1 spot be damned! And if they try to get in his way...they'll end up like little Pit."
"That damn psycho broke Pit's neck like he did with Cloud's, and it was completely unnecessary, dammit!" Church stated.
The ref motioned to the back as EMTs came down the ramp and to the side of the ring that Pit lying near on. Jason got off on the turnbuckle and looked at the still not moving Pit as the EMTs placed a neck brace on him and slowly placed him on a stretcher. Jason just laughed at Pit's condition and pointed him, holding his sides before exiting the ring and backing up the ramp, holding up his title with that psychotic grin on his face.
"First Cloud, now Pit!" Church said. "This guy is a certified maniac! And if he wins the Royal Rumble later tonight, UCA may be in dangerous trouble!"
"Well you may have to deal with it, because it could very well happen!" Sarge said. "Despite being put through the ringer here, he may pull off history be the second person to win the Rumble from No. 1!"
"I pray to any merciful God out there that that doesn't happen, and that someone takes down Jason...and soon!" Church said.
The camera goes up to the Titantron, which shows Force sitting in his chair in his office, having just watched the first match of the night. He had a neutral expression on his face as he leaned back on his face.
"Well, match-wise, Royal Reckoning has gotten off to a great start." Force noted. "That was a great match in my opinion, very competitive, and that's only the starting match. The rest of the matches should be epic in their own right! But Jason..." Force trailed off and sighed. "First he breaks Cloud's neck at Summer Brawl last year, and now he may have broken Pit's neck here. He's a great talent no doubt about it, but if this keeps up, he'll be more of a problem than an asset at this point. Hopefully, it doesn't get any worse, or I may have to do something to reign him in..."
The door was heard opening and the sound of someone coming was heard. Force slightly turned his head to face the new occupant, remaining calm the whole time.
"Well, if it isn't our current World Champion, Mario." Force said. "What can I do for you before your big match tonight?"
The screen panned out to show Mario with the World Title on his shoulder, the Chicago crowd booing him straight to hell, with many chanting "Overrated!"
"Well, owner of UCA, I'm here to talk to you about my Last Man Standing Match with Sonic tonight." Mario said.
"You aren't going to try and complain about it and try to get out of it just before it happens, are you?" Force questioned with narrowed eyes. "Because that's out of the question. This match is happening whether you like it or not, and I won't tolerate you trying to back out of it."
"Oh no, that's not what I'm here to do." Mario said. "I fully accept that this match is happening. I just need to clarify one thing. Now when you and I were talking about this match a few weeks ago, you said something concerning my match with Sonic. You said that if I beat Sonic tonight under the conditions that you have set, then I get to name the next challenger for my World Title. Is that still true?"
"Yeah, it is." Force nodded. "I mean, not many people are expecting you to leave tonight with the World Heavyweight Title intact. They all expect you to finally lose it to Sonic. But if you SOMEHOW manage to beat Sonic in this match, with everything set up as it is, and prove all the naysayers wrong, then I think you will earned that right, in my view. Besides, I think it would be pretty good incentive for you to actually try your hardest here."
"Alright Force, just wanted to make sure that was actually true." Mario smirked as he adjusted his title. "So basically tonight, I'm going to finally end that blue rat Sonic, reach 365 days as World Champion, AND get to name my next challenger when this night is done? Hah! It's good to be Super Mario, that's for sure!" Mario had reached the door when...
"Let me remind you, Mario: The Mushroom Kingdom is banned from ringside for this match." Force stated warningly. "Hell, if I see the Mushroom Kingdom get involved for even a second in this match...consider your World Title stripped and given to Sonic. Are we clear?"
"We are clear, Force." Mario nodded. "In fact, for all of the Mushroom Kingdom's matches tonight. there won't be any interference from us. We'll prove everyone wrong about us and make a clean sweep of titles here. I'll see you later, Fox." Mario left the office, leaving Fox to lean back in his chair when his cell phone rang. He pulled it out, accepted the call, and held it against his ear.
"Hello?" Fox asked. Someone spoke on the other line, and the Fox grinned like mad. "Perfect. He's finally here. Make sure to keep his identity a secret from the public. I would prefer no one to know about who he is until he steps through that curtain. And why don't you make sure he also isn't seen by the roster? I want EVERYONE to be shocked by this, okay?" A voice spoke for a bit, and Force nodded. "Good. Make sure everything works here. I'll check on this later."
Force ended the call and put his phone away, and looked back at the TV, a devious smirk on his face.
The scene on the Titantron changed to the interview area, where we see Donut holding a mic, and right beside was Tidus, the crowd popping loudly at the sight of him. The Blitzball player was doing a few athletic leaps in anticipation as Donut spoke.
"Hey everybody, it's Donut, and I hope you are all just LOVING the PPV so far!" Donut said. "Just to let you know, I'm hosing a post-Royal Reckoning tea party to celebrate the PPV if anyone is interested. We'll have cookies with sprinkles. But anyway, I am joined right now by Tidus. Now Tidus, you are just moments away from your Ladder Match for the Cruiserweight Title! And on the big stage of Royal Reckoning no less! How are you feeling as you head into the match? Any pre-match nervousness that a nice cup of warm tea can cure?"
"No nerves here, Donut!" Tidus smirked. "Just plain excitement and eagerness! Why? Because this is the night where I FINALLY become the Cruiserweight Champion! This is my chance, my big moment! And I didn't need to get here by joining some group of whiny rookies who continually bitch about not getting what they want and think taking out veterans will get them anywhere! I got here ON MY OWN! Through my OWN skill! Didn't need to have to team up with anyone to get me to this point because I was weak! And through my skill, I'm going to become the new Cruiserweight Champion tonight!"
"Wow, you seem pretty confident that you're going to win!" Donut noted.
"Of course I am, why wouldn't I be?" Tidus stated. "Last month at Ragnarok, Toad needed a low blow when the ref wasn't looking to beat me! But a few weeks ago, I proved that I could beat Toad clean in the ring no problem! I think that shows who's the better person here! And if that's not enough, my title match is a Ladder Match! A match that thrives on fast-paced, high flying action, and that's where I excel no doubt! The Ladder Match is my specialty, even if I'm just a rookie myself! Don't believe me? Look at the FWAs, where I had a STAR-MAKING performance in the Six-Man Ladder Match then! I practically shined in that match! And like I said before, Toad doesn't compare to any of the men I fought on that night! Toad may put up a fight, but there is no way in hell I am going to let that Mushroom lackey keep me from grabbing that gold! I have a goal in this business, a goal that you can consider a dream, and that's that I want to surpass my asshole father in every conceivable way! And that begins tonight! After I beat Toad to a pulp, I'm going to climb that ladder, pull that title down, and take my first step to greatness!"
"Surpassing me? Step to greatness? You got some funny jokes, crybaby."
Tidus and Donut froze in their place at the sound of that voice and turned to the right, which saw Jecht appear on the screen to an absolutely thunderous ovation from the crowd, with them chanting "Jecht! Jecht! Jecht!" Tidus looked incensed at his own father appearing.
"I mean, yeah, you'll likely have a bit of success here in UCA. After all, you ARE my son." Jecht chuckled. "But come on, you can't surpass your old man ever! How can you surpass my Hall of Fame-like career? But don't worry, you're not only the one." Jecht ruffled Tidus' hair with his hand. "NO ONE can surpass the great Jecht."
Tidus swatted the hand away and glared at his father. "WHAT THE HELL, OLD MAN?!" He yelled at him. "What are you doing here?! You're supposed to be retired! You retired from the business after you lost to Starforce Megaman last year at Summer Brawl! You ain't supposed to be here!"
"Well yeah, I did retire awhile ago." Jecht confirmed. "But when I heard that my son was having a big-time Ladder Match for a title, I couldn't help but come over and see in person how you would fare! And here I find you, talking about taking a first step to greatness! About becoming better than me and all that impossible nonsense! I mean, it's really hard to believe to think that you will become a champion! You with a title? You can't even catch a ball! I can't blame ya for wanting to reach for the stars though, to want the heights I've accomplished. But face it, I'm the best...and you'll come nowhere close to my level."
"YOU'RE WRONG!" Tidus roared at his father. "You are dead wrong, old man! I WILL reach your heights, and I will reach even higher after that! I'm going to be a bigger star than you ever were in this company! I'm going to surpass you in every manner, and be a better wrestler than you! Don't believe me? Watch my Ladder Match coming up! I'm going to show the world just what I am made of, and when I pull down the title, everyone will see that I am destined for greater thing than you were able to achieve! Now if you excuse, I got to go kick a Toad's ass!"
Tidus angrily brushed past his father, who just watched his son leave with a smirk while Donut stood in shock at what he saw.
"That sure got him fired up." Jecht said, smirk still on his face. "Good. If he wasn't already motivated to win this match, he sure is now. My words are definitely going to fuel him to win that Ladder Match and maybe even propel him to victory. Don't you think, Donut?" Jecht casually wrapped his arm around the soldier's shoulder, with Donut standing in fear.
"Uh...yeah, I think so, Jecht." Donut said fearfully.
"Yeah, that's what I thought..." Jecht chuckled.
"Oh man! A surprise appearance from Jecht of all people, and did he get to Tidus or what?" Church said. "His words have just riled up Tidus big time!"
"Hah, Jecht just got to Tidus in a big way, and that's going to help Toad big time!" Sarge said. "His anger will give Toad a great advantage as Tidus is blinded by it!"
"I don't think Tidus will be blinded by anything, Sarge!" Church said. "If anything, those words only made Tidus even MORE determined to win this match, so he can prove his father wrong!"
"Well it doesn't matter if it'll help Tidus or not, Toad will still emerge victorious!" Sarge proclaimed.
"Well we'll find out if that is true or not, because the Ladder Match is about to happen now!" Church said.
The camera showed the ring. The ringside area and the rampway and stage were littered with ladders that were either set up or laid down against the barricade. The Cruiserweight Title was shown hanging high above the ring as the ring announcer spoke.
"The following contest...is a Ladder Match for the UCA Cruirserweight Championship!"

The crowd booed loudly at the music as Toad came out onto the stage, a cocky smirk on his face as he looked out to the crowd for a moment. He bent down a bit before raising his arms Miz-style, then throwing them out as he made his way down the ramp. Fans held signs such as "Toad Sucks Mario's Dick!" as Toad stopped at the middle of the ramp and looked at the ladders all around him before getting on the apron and entering the ring. He climbed the ring and once again raised his arms Miz-style.
"Introducing first, representing and from Mushroom Kingdom, weighing in at 194 lbs., he is the reigning, defending UCA Cruiserweight Champion, Toad!"
"Unlike the last match, there's no mixed reaction, this crowd 100% hates Toad!" Church said. "And with all this hatred, it only puts Toad at even more of a disadvantage since this crowd can be very brutal! This is his first Ladder Match, so this is completely new to him!"
"Ah, but Toad has never cared what anyone has thought of him!" Sarge stated. "Nobody thought he would be champion or last this long, and he proved them wrong! And Toad is going to prove them wrong again when he wins tonight!"
"Toad's managed to keep the title away from Tidus with a low blow last month, but it ain't going be that easy this time around!" Church said.

Extremely loud cheers could be heard from the crowd as Tidus came out, his sword in his hand and a determined expression on his face. He looked out to the crowd and pointed to them before throwing his sword into the air and then jumped into the air and caught it, landing on the stage to a blast of pyro. He walked down the ramp as fans held signs such as "Meet Your New Cruiserweight Champion, Tidus!", and walked under the ladders with no fear whatsoever before sliding into the ring and throwing his sword into the air catching in a pose.
"And the challenger, from the City of Zanarkand, weighing in at 215 lbs., Tidus!"
"This crowd is going crazy for Tidus, and he has no fear, evident by him walking under the ladders!" Church said. "Tidus wants to be Cruiserweight Champion more than perhaps we've ever seen before! He wants to become a UCA great and surpass his father big time!"
"Please, as if Tidus has any chance of actually surpassing Jecht!" Sarge said. "It's maddening to think that Tidus could actually be on his level, let alone actually beat Toad tonight!"
"But remember Sarge, this match is definitely to Tidus' advantage." Church said. "It plays to his style and he has experience in this match. Tidus is going to use that no doubt to finally grab the brass ring of the Cruiserweights!"
Tidus and Toad stood in opposite corners staring at each other and the ref rang the bell. Both men met in the ring in a lock-up, and Tidus quickly applied a waistlock from behind. Toad with a Standing Switch and was applying the waistlock. Tidus elbowed Toad in the head, causing him to let go and Tidus tried for an Irish Whip, but Toad reversed and whipped Tidus into the corner. Toad ran for him, but Tidus moved out of the way, causing the Champ to hit the corner chest-first. Toad backed out of it, allowing Tidus to hit a Springboard Back Elbow on him. Tidus picked up Toad and went for a Body Slam, but Toad landed behind him and pushed him into the ropes. Tidus bounced off them and into a Dropkick from Toad. Tidus rolled over to the corner where Toad stomped on him a few times before picking him up and nailing a Suplex on him. Toad rolled out of the ring and grabbed a nearby ladder, folding it up and going to the ring with it. He placed it on the apron, and Tidus suddenly nailed a Baseball Slide on it, sending it into Toad's chest! Toad grutned in pain as he backed up a bit on the outside, still holding the ladder, and Tidus grabbed the ropes, and launced himself over it! Tidus hits a a ladder-assisted Somersault Plancha on Toad!
"Tidus sacrifices his own body to deal damage to Toad here in this Ladder Match!" Church said.
"But did that hurt Toad more, or did it hurt Tidus more?" Sarge questioned.
Toad was down as Tidus slowly got up, holding his back in pain as he grabbed the ladder Toad had and slid it into the ring. Entering the ring, Tidus quickly set the ladder up below the title belt. Tidus began climbing it, but Toad slid in and stopped Tidus. The Champ pulled Tidus down to the mat and tried a right hand, but Tidus blocked it and began laying in with several rights to the face. With Toad dazed, Tidus bounced off the ropes to Toad...TOAD GRABS AND THROWS THE LADDER DOWN ON HIM! The crowd goes "Ooooohhh" as the ladder crashes down on Tidus and the rookie is buried underneath it. Toad pulls the ladder away and lays down a few punches to the face of Tidus befoe picking him up and landing a Reverse DDT on him. Toad grabbed the ladder, folding it up and readying himself with it. Tidus managed to get to his and face Toad...TOAD HITS TIDUS IN THE FACE WITH THE LADDER!
"Damn! Tidus gets a face full of ladder courtesy of Toad!" Church said.
"Let's hope he lost a few teeth there!" Sarge said.
Tidus was laid out as Toad propped the ladder against the corner. After setting it up accordingly, Toad picked up Tidus and pushed him into the adjacent. Toad then whipped Tidus as hard as he could into the ladder in the adjacent corner, Tidus crashing back-first into it! Tidus laid against it as Toad readied himself before running full speed and going for a Stinger Splash...
...TIDUS MOVES OUT OF THE WAY! Toad crashes into the ladder face-first and falls to the mat in pain! Tidus rolls onto the apron and stands on it, waiting as Toad got up. Once he did, Tidus leaped onto the top rope...
...but Toad pushes his legs out from under him! Tidus falls gut-first on the top rope, the rookie groaning in pain as he was hanging across the rope. Toad suddenly kicked Tidus in the head, sending him off the rope and apron and head-first on the announcer's table!
"And Toad has sent Tidus crashing into our announcer's table!" Church said.
"Allowing me a GREAT view of his head bouncing off it! So amazing!" Sarge said.
Toad slid out to the outside and grabbed Tidus, bouncing his head off the announcer's table before whipping him straight into the steel steps! With Tidus out of it, Toad went and grabbed another ladder at ringside and carefully placed it above the floor, its end on the ring apron and announcer's table. Once set, Tidus grabbed Tidus and hooked him up, attempting for a Suplex on the ladder. But Tidus remained rooted the ground, and after several tries, Tidus suddenly hit a Front-Layout Suplex on Toad on the ladder! Toad groaned in pain as he laid across the ladder, and Tidus wasted no motion getting on the apron and climbing the near corner. Once on top, Tidus readied himself...
...AND HIT A DIVING GUILLOTINE LEG DROP ACROSS TOAD'S NECK AS HE LAID ACROSS THE LADDER!
"OH MY GOD!" Church exclaimed. "Did you see that?! That was fucking insane!"
"That damn Tidus is going to kill himself as he tries to kill Toad!" Sarge said.
The crowd was going into a frenzy chanting "Holy Shit!" as Toad fell off the ladder and to the ground, holding his neck as Tidus laid on the ground in pain for a few moments before slowly making it to his feet. He staggered to the ring before sliding in, and grabbed the ladder against the corner. He managed to set it up in the middle of the ring and slowly began the climb up. However, unknown to him, Toad slid into the ring with another ladder. Tidus climbed to near the top, and reached up for the title...
...TOAD THROWS HIS LADDER AT TIDUS! It hits Tidus right in the back, causing him to fall off the ladder and to the mat below! Toad fell to a knee, holding his hurt neck before grabbing the ladder he threw, and once Tidus stood up, rammed it into the rookie's gut! Tidus fell to his knees, and Toad threw the ladder down onto Tidus' back! Toad grabbed the ladder and thew it down on Tidus again, and then proceeded to do it one more time!
"Man, this is just flat out viciousness right here!" Church said. "Toad just keeps throwing that ladder across Tidus' back!"
"And with that back in bad shape, it'll be even tougher for Tidus to climb the ladder!" Sarge stated.
Toad threw the ladder away and picked up Tidus, whipping him into a corner. After tipping the set-up ladder over, Toad readied himself in the adjacent corner, before running at Tidus and hitting the Koopa Clothesline! Tidus falls to the mat and rolls out of the ring with Toad sitting on the middle rope in exhaustion. Toad got back into the ring and quickly pulled the tipped over ladder back to a vertical base. After making sure it was under the title, Toad began the climb up to the top. However, Tidus managed to get himself on the apron and slowly stood up...
...Toad had reached near the top and was reaching for the title...
...he's inches away...
...TIDUS SPRINGBOARD SPEARS HIM OFF THE LADDER! The crowd is going nuts here!
"HOLY CRAP! Tidus just took a page of Edge's playbook and added a little Springboard to it!" Church exclaimed.
"Oh no, Toad may be broken in two!" Sarge said.
Tidus laid across the mat while Toad held his midsection in utter pain. Eventually, Tidus managed to get to his feet and grabbed set-up ladder, folding it up and wedging it between the turnbuckles of a nearby corner. He grabbed Toad by the legs and dragged him to the corner, placing him under the wedged ladder. Holding onto Toad's legs, he fell backwards...
...AND LAUNCHED TOAD FACE-FIRST INTO THE LADDER! Toad's face bounced off it as he fell to the mat in a crumpled heap. Tidus stood up and grabbed Toad by the legs again, dragging him to center of the ring. He then grabbed the second ladder in the ring and placed it on top of Toad. Once ready, Tidus ran at the ropes, leaped at them...
...AND NAILED A LADDER-ASSISTED SPRINGBOARD MOONSAULT ON TOAD!"
"DAMN! AGAIN, Tidus hurts himself to deal bigger damage to Toad!" Church said.
"Is there ANTYHING this damn Blue isn't willing to do to win?!" Sarge questioned.
Tidus held his gut in pain as Toad was crushed under the ladder, and Tidus stood up, pulling the ladder off of Toad. He kicked the Champ away before slowly setting up the ladder in the ring, and began the climb up it. The challenger held his gut in pain as he made the climb up, but Toad was starting to come to and turned over to see Tidus climbing for his title. Tidus climbed a few more rungs and tried to reach for the title as Toad tried to get up! Tidus was an inch away...he stretched even further...
...Toad suddenly gets up and jumps up at Tidus, hitting a low blow on him! The live crowd booed as Tidus stayed on the ladder, holding his manhood in pain! Toad stumbled over to the wedged ladder and pulled it out, and managed to set it up next to Tidus' ladder. Toad began to climb it to meet with the still hurting Tidus, and once there, he nailed a punch to Tidus. Tidus managed to nail one back, but Toad kicked him in the gut, stunning him. Toad grabbed Tidus' head and arm, hooking him up...
...AND HITS A TOAD SWING OFF THE LADDERS!
"HOLY SHIT!"" Church exclaimed. "A freakin' Toad swing off the top off the ladders! My God!"
"That's it for Tidus! He's broken in a million pieces!" Sarge said.
Both men were laid out as the crowd was going crazy. Eventually, Toad came to and managed to sit up, and crawled towards one of the ladders. Toad grabbed the rungs and pulled himself up the ladder, slowly climbing it. As Toad climbed it, Tidus managed to come to as well and saw Toad climbing the ladder and crawled towards it. Toad climbed to the top, and reached for the belt...
...he was touching it with a finger...
...Tidus grabbed one side of the ladder and with all his might, began to push the ladder as he stood. The ladder began to tip forward as Toad realized what was happening. He flailed around helplessly as Tidus tipped the ladder forward...
...TOAD FALLS OFF THE LADDER AND IS HANGED ACROSS THE ROPES!
"Toad was just an inch away from winning, but Tidus saves his title aspirations!" Church said.
"Dammit, so close to a victory for the Reds!" Sarge stated.
Toad falls to the mat in a crumpled heap as Tidus falls to his hands and knees. Panting like crazy, Tidus gets to his feet as Toad slowly tries to get up. With a determined look, Tidus tipped the second ladder over and waited as Toad got up...AND THEN NAILED A ROUNDHOUSE KICK TO TOAD'S SKULL! The crowd went "Ooohhh" at the sound as Toad fell back down to the mat. Tidus kicked one of the ladders away before grabbing the second one and sets it up in one of the corners. Once done, Tidus dragged Toad to the middle of the ring, and then got behind the ladder and proceeded to climb it. However, once halfway up, Toad began to move and stood up, climbing the ladder on the other side! Tidus got to the top but saw Toad climbing and tried to strike him, but Toad struck Tidus through the rungs in the gut! Toad climbed up to meet Tidus and began to hit multiple shots to the face, dazing Tidus, and then placed him the Suplex position on the top of the ladder! Toad went to lift him up...
...but Tidus fought back with punches to the gut, slowly loosening Toad's grip. Toad let go after a few more hits, and Tidus slammed Toad's head down on the top rung of the ladder! With Toad dazed, Tidus climbed a bit further up to stand over Toad...
...AND HITS A SUNSET-FLIP POWERBOMB OFF THE LADDER!
"OH NO! TOAD JUST GOT POWERBOMBED TO HELL!" Sarge said.
"TIDUS WANTS TO WIN! HE WANTS TO WIN BAD!" Church stated.
Both men were once again laid out across the mat as the crowd was going wild before Tidus began to move and slowly stood up. Kicking Toad away, Tidus grabbed the folded ladder and slowly set it up under the ladder. Gingerly, Tidus made the climb up to the title. He managed to get to the top after some time and reached for the title...
...he was inches away...
...he climbed a rung and grabbed it...
...Toad suddenly grabs the ladder from the side and begins pushing it over! Tidus lets go of the title in surprise, and Toad tips the ladder over...
...TIDUS FALLS OFF AND GETS CROTCHES ON THE TOP ROPE! The crowd winces at the landing.
"OH MAN!" Church winced. "Even I Felt that from here!"
"Looks like Tidus ain't having children for awhile!" Sarge said.
Tidus's eyes went wide with pain before he fell off the rope and to the mat. The rookie slowly made it to his feet, holding his manhood as he turned around, and Toad kicked him in the knee! Tidus fell to a knee, allowing Toad to nail the Mushroom DDT on him! Tidus was down as Toad stood up and dragged Tidus to a corner. He grabbed the downed ladder, folded it up, and placed it on top of Tidus. Toad got on the apron, climbed the corner, and dived off the top...
...AND HITS A LADDER-ASSISTED GOOBA STOMP!
"TOAD JUST GOOMBA STOMPS TIDUS TO HELL!" Church shouted.
"And Tidus just got Sarge'd, people!" Sarge said.
Tidus writhed in pain as he rolled out from under the ladder and out of the ring. Toad laid on the mat exhausted before getting up and grabbing the set-up ladder in the corner. Dragging it to the middle of the ring, Toad tried to climb as best as he could in his condition. Once halfway there, however, Tidus was seen leaning against the apron. He slowly got on the apron and began to climb the corner...with a chair in hand! Toad had reached the top and reached for the title...
...he grabbed the end of it and was going to unhook it...
...TIDUS HITS A CHAIR-ASSISTED MISSILE DROPKICK ON TOAD WHILE HE'S ON THE LADDER!
"WHAT THE HELL?! THIS DAMN TIDUS JUST WON'T DIE!" Sarge exclaimed. "WHERE THE HELL DID HE GET THAT CHAIR?!"
"He must have gotten it from the under the ring while on the outside!" Church stated.
Toad cried out in pain and fell off the ladder to the mat below and both were laid out once more. Tidus was the first to get up, followed by Toad. Toad turned to face Tidus, but was hit with a clothesline! Toad got back up, only to be hit with another clothesline! Toad groggily made it to his feet, and was hit with a Dropkick this time! Toad rolled over to the corner as Tidus felt the adrenaline course through his veins! Toad used the ropes to pull himself up in the corner, and Tidus ran at him and nailed an Enziguri to the head! Toad fell to the ground and Tidus took this chance to fold up the set-up ladder and placed it down on the mat. Tidus picked up Toad and lifted him up for an Olympic Slam...
...Toad landed behind Tidus and pushed him into the ropes! Tidus bounced back to Toad and jumped at Tidus for a Hurricarana, but Toad held onto him! Toad bounced Tidus' body of the ropes...spun around...
...AND SLAMMED TIDUS ON THE LADDER WITH THE BOM-OMB!
"BOM-OMB ON THE LADDER!" Church exclaimed. "Tidus' back must me MESSED UP!"
"Toad is showing Tidus how out of his league he is!" Sarge said.
Tidus arched his back in pain as Toad got up, and the Champ turned Tidus over on the ladder until he was lying stomach-first on it. He waited for Tidus to get up, and once Tidus was on his feet, Toad bounced off the ropes and lifted his knee to strike Tidus's head...
...Tidus avoids the Life Skils! Toad stumbles and Tidus grabs his head from behind...
...AND HITS A SLEEPER SLAM ON THE LADDER! Toad cries out in pain as he rolls off the ladder, and Tidus pushes it away as he stalks Toad. The Champ used the ropes to bring himself to his feet, and turns around...
...BLITZ KICK! NO! Toad ducks it, and Tidus lands on his feet! Toad quickly grabs the nearby chair out of instinct as Tidus turns around...
...AND SMASHES THE CHAIR ACROSS TIDUS' SKULL!
"SHIT! Did you hear that chair echo across Tidus' face?!" Church exclaimed.
"It certainly may caused Tidus' to lose a few brain cells!" Sarge stated.
Tidus falls to the mat in a crumpled heap as Tidus falls to his knees, placing the chair down. Toad glared at the down Tidus before grabbing the ladder one of the ladders and placing it down near the corner. He picked up Tidus, who was now bleeding profusely from the chair shot, and slammed him down on the ladder back-first. Toad got on the apron, and climbed the corner to the top. Once there, Toad smirked at the booing crowd and raised a hand in triumph, before diving off...
...AND TIDUS ROLLS OUT OF THE WAY! TOAD MISSES THE SUPER MARIO SPLASH AND CRASHES ON THE LADDER! The crowd was cheering as Toad slowly stood up off the ladder, holding his stomach as he steps over the ladder...
...AND INTO A BLITZ KICK FROM TIDUS! THE CROWD IS ON ITS FEET!
"BLITZ KICK! BLITZ KICK! TIDUS GOT IT!" Church shouted. "THIS IS HIS CHANCE! HIS CHANCE TO PULL IT OFF!
"OH NO! TOAD MAY BE COMPLETELY OUT!" Sarge stated.
Toad is completely laid out as Tidus lays on his stomach, blood pouring down his face. With the crowd cheering him on, Tidus slowly pushed himself off the mat to his feet. Stumbling around a bit, Tidus grabbed the second ladder and set it up under the title. Once done, Tidus began to climb the rungs off the ladder, closer and closer to the title...
...Tidus reached near the top of the ladder...
...Tidus reached for the title...
...just fingertips away...
...he's grabbed it!...
...TOAD JUMPS AND NAILS TIDUS IN THE BACK WITH THE STEEL CHAIR! The crowd was booing mercilessly as the hit cause Tidus to fall off the ladder and crash on the mat, arching his back in pain! Toad dropped the chair and leaned against the ropes, completely exhausted. Tidus tried to will himself up to his feet,, and managed to do so...
...but Toad suddenly runs at him...
...AND HITS THE LIFE SKILLS TO LOUD BOOS!
"DAMMIT! SO CLOSE!" Church shouted. "TIDUS WAS SO CLOSE! BUT TOAD SOMEHOW STOPPED HIM!"
"AND THE LIFE SKILLS HAVE PUT AN END TO TIDUS FOR GOOD!" Sarge exclaimde. "IN LAYMAN'S TERMS, TIDUS JUST GOT SARGE'D!"
Both men were laid out as they were completely spent. About a minute passed with both men not moving until Toad slowly began to stir. With all the strength he could must, he turned over on his stomach and began crawl towards the ladder. He grabbed the bottom rung, and pulled himself up and began climbing slowly to the crowd booing him. He was halfway there...
...when Tidus started to move and crawl towards the ladder as well! The crowd was willing Tidus on with loud cheers as Tidus reached the ladder and climbed the other side of it. Both climbed the ladder, and Toad reached to near the gold while Tidus was still only halfway up! Toad reached for the gold...
...he grabbed it...
...TIDUS HITS HIM THROUGH THE RUNGS IN THE GUT! This stuns Toad long enough for Tidus to climb up to meet Toad, and delivers a few rights as hard as he could in his state! With Toad stunned, Tidus reached for the gold, and grabbed it...
...but Toad punches him in the face, forcing him to let go of the title! Toad lands another punch, but this time Tidus hits one of his own! Toad fires back with another! Tidus hits a punch to fight back! The two trade punches on the top of the ladder, the crowd in deep drama!
"Toad and Tidus are beating the hell out of one another on the top of that ladder!" Church said. "It's high drama in this Ladder Match!"
"All it could take is one good punch to decide the fate of this match!" Sarge said.
Toad and Tidus continued to trade blows, with the crowd chanting "Yes!" for Tidus' punches, and "No!" for Toad''s punches! After a couple of moments of fighting, Tidus his a particularly hard right on Toad, and was about to go for the belt, but Toad grabbed his head and slammed it on the top ladder rung! Tidus was stunned as he tried to hang on to the ladder, allowing Toad to reach for the belt...
...he grabbed the belt...
...he went to unhook it...
...TIDUS GRABBED THE BELT AND SLAMMED IT INTO TOAD'S FACE! Toad was absolutely out of it on the ladder with a dazed look, and Tidus took a look at the ladder that was set above the floor on the outside, and got an idea! He grabbed Toad by the waist, and climbed higher up with them until they were on the second-to-last rungs...
...
...AND TIDUS WITH AN OVERHEAD BELLY-TO-BELLY SUPLEX OFF THE TOP OF THE LADDER! TOAD FLIES OUT OF THE RING AND THROUGH THE LADDER ON THE OUTSIDE!
"OH MY GOD! OH MY GOD! HOLY SON OF A FUCKING BITCH!"Church shouted at the top of his lungs. "TOAD WAS THROWN OVER 15 FEET OFF A LADDER AND THROUGH A LADDER!"
"TOAD MAY BE BROKEN IN DAMN HALF!" Sage shouted. "BY GOD, TOAD MAY BE DEAD!"
The crowd was absolutely deafening in the arena as Toad laid motionless among the remains of the ladder, and Tidus down on the mat, chants of "Holy Shit!" and "That Was Awesome!" and "You Sick Fuck!" were heard. Over a minute passed as neither man moved, but eventually, Tidus began to stir and after seeing Toad on the outside went over to the ladder, and after adjusting it, slowly began to make the climb, bloody and all with the crowd willing him on...
...Tidus reached the halfway point...
...he reached the top...
...he reached out for the gold...
...Tidus grabbed it by the strap...
...AND TIDUS PULLS DOWN THE TITLE! THE CROWD EXPLODES!
"TIDUS DID IT! TIDUS DID IT!" Church exclaimed. "TIDUS IS THE NEW CRUISERWEIGHT CHAMPION!"

"Here is your winner...and NEEEEEEEWWWWW UCA Cruiserweight Champion...TIDUS!"
The crowd was absolutely going crazy as they chanted "Tidus! Tidus! Tidus!" while Tidus laid his battered body across the ladder, Cruiserweight Title in his hand. Eventually, Tidus lifted his head up and looked out to the cheering crowd, panting as he realized what had just happened. Tidus looked down at the title in his hand as he brought it up to look at. With a bloody face, tears of joy rain down from his eyes as he brought title to his forehead before raising it high into the air on top of the ladder for all to see.
"Tidus has finally pulled it off!" Church said. "After being screwed over, attacked while he was down, berated and criticized by many, Tidus has FINALLY become the Curiserweight Champion in a match worthy of both the Cruiserweights AND X-Division!"
"I can't believe this is happening!" Sarge exclaimed. "This can't be happening! There's no way Toad could have lost his title to that bastard Blue, Tidus!"
"He just did, Sarge!" Church said. "Tidus has finally climbed to championship glory, and he did it in grand style!"
Tidus slowly made his way down the ladder and got off of it, falling down on his backside as he held his new title close to his chest. He looked over at Toad on the outside, who was still strewn across the broken remains of the ladder, and just smirked. Tidus rolled out of the ring, and after sitting on the apron for a bit, slowly backed up the ramp with a sway in his step from the damage he took. With a joyous grin on his face, he raised the Cruiserweight TItle up high with one hand as the crowd chanted "You Deserve It!"
"He's bloodied, battered, bruised...and he's the new Cruiseweight Champion!" Church said. "Tidus has ended the five-month reign of Toad, and dealt a major blow to the Mushroom Kingdom here!"
"This is such a travesty for this to happen to the Reds..." Sarge despaired. "Mario's not going to like this one bit..."
"This was such an amazing match that definitely exceeded expectations!" Church stated. "It's going to be hard for the other matches to follow this up."
The camera goes up to the Titantron, which shows a dark room completely bare except for a lone chair propped up in the middle of the room, with a lone occupant sitting in it. A dim light shone down upon the occupant, only slightly illuminating him. This occupant was none than Chaos the Hedeghog, and he was sitting with his held down.
"Later tonight..." He spoke. "A great battle shall occur in that very ring. A war that people everywhere are clamoring to see. I have heard the talks of the people...of how they are looking forward to this collision just as much as Mario vs Sonic...They anticipate a destructive battle that can only result from two powerful forces engaging in combat with one another. They ask questions. "Who will win such a match?" "Can Shadow actually defeat Chaos?" "Can the Ultimate Life Form defeat the God of Destruction?" The answer to these questions is very simple...Shadow will NOT be able to defeat me. No, he will be just another victim conquered by the God of Destruction. I will not deny that Shadow will be a challenge. Vermin he may be, but he is tough vermin. However...he is simply not strong enough anymore. He's gotten soft, plain and simple. Saying that he regrets his actions as "The Messiah of Discord" in UWE...being a degenerate rebel with Hope in D-Hedgeration X...these are actions and words that show that Shadow has lost the power needed to truly be a destructive force, all in favor of pleasing little, late Maria. How pathetic...Shadow will fight, but he has no chance against someone like me...he has no chance against a God...For a good while, people have been disrespecting me on all angles. From denouncing my abilities, to calling me an unworthy mongrel, people have seen it fit to underestimate me and insult me...well, they will realize how wrong they all are...They will realize what a mistake it is to underestimate me, to think I am not worthy! They will see the true power I possess when I unleash it upon that vermin hedgehog tonight!"
Chaos stood up, lifting his head up to the camera, showcasing a dark, maniacal look on his face. "Shadow, I hoped you breathed as much fresh air as you possibly could, because tonight, the God of Destruction is going to DROWN you in sea of destruction that you brought upon yourself! You will face the wrath of the ultimate bringer of destruction and chaos, and realize how far out of your league you are! Shadow, you will be the example I make to all of Fiction Wrestling about what happens when you mess with the God of Destruction! Tonight, "Ultimate Life Form," you will become a victim as I continue my journey of adding UCA to my growing kingdom, along with UWE, beginning when I win the Royal Rumble after my victory! Shadow..."
Chaos got up close to the camera, showing only his face with a sadistic smirk on it. "...Prepare to meet the devil incarnate!"
Chaos knocked the camera down, which now showed the empty chair in the room as the footsteps of Chaos were heard as he left the room.
The scene changed to the backstage hallways, where we Team 2D fuming. Jerry sat on a nearby box with an angry frown on his face, while Tom glared at the wall.
"This is BULLSHIT!" Tom shouted, punching the wall in anger. "How can those damn Elrics beat us?! How the hell could they even come CLOSE to beating us?! They're nothing but stupid underdoogs! Average wrestlers who only got by on stupid popularity! They didn't get titles across companies on skill, but because they were popular with the crowd! We are the ones with the skill! We are the legendary tag team! We are the ones with sixteen Tag Team Title reigns across Fiction Wrestling! We are the ones who put people through tables and succeed! It's not possible for them to have won! Thanks to them, we're out of the Rumble Match! THIS IS CRAP! EVERYONE KNOWS THIS!"
"Tom, calm down, buddy, please!" Jerry stated, catching the angered Tom's match. "I'm just as angry as you are, Tom, but there's no need to be like this. Those Elrics just got lucky, that's all! Every wrestler or team always gets that one lucky victory. This past Brawl was theirs. Besides they have no chance of winning the Rumble anyway. We got to look forward to the future Tom...and that future is our eight UCA Tag Team Championship! It doesn't matter who wins the title match tonight, because whether it goes to the Sonic Heroes or the Mushroom Kingdom, in the end, the titles will eventually belong to the masters of Non-Stop Violence, Team 2D!"
"I think we beg to differ, Team 2D!" Tom and Jerry looked to the right to see the Elrics coming up to them, smirks on their faces as Al spoke. "I think it's going to be US that will soon become Tag Team Champions! We got all the momentum in the world, and we're the Tag Team Champions of a different company to boot! And there's also the fact that we're amazing tag team wrestlers!Regardless of whether or not we win the Rumble, we're going to go after the Tag Team Titles after this PPV! And to be honest, why wouldn't we become Tag Team Champions?"
"Yeah, Al, I mean we got great wrestling skills, we got the crowd completely behind us, we're decorated wrestlers across Fiction Wrestling, we're the 2012 Tag Team of the Year, and...oh yeah...we beat YOU!" Ed pointed to Team 2D who scowled at them. "With such a victory under our belts, I think we definitely can become Tag Team Champions for the first time in UCA no problem! Face it, Team 2D...we're just as good as you! Hell, we might even be BETTER!"
"THAT'S CRAP AND YOU KNOW IT!" Tom shouted at them. "If you really were that good, then you wouldn't have lost the CASZ Tag Team Titles one freakin' week after you won it, corrupt Chairman or not! If we were in your shoes, we would have told that guy to 'Fuck off' and retain those titles! If you were really that good, your TLC Match wouldn't have been passed for UWE Bad Blood Match for Tag Team Match of the Year! Your victory over us was a fluke! A DAMN FLUKE! You got your lucky victory over us, but it will NEVER happen again!"
"Yeah, Tom's right!" Jerry said, getting off the box. "And what's more, even if you DO get a shot at the Tag Team Titles, YOU'LL choke! I mean, how long did you guys go without winning any Tag Team Titles in any company? A freakin' long ass time! Oh yeah, you may have won titles now, but you failed to keep the CASZ Tag Team Titles for a respectable time, and you'll those AWF Tag Team Titles in your first defense! You don't know what it takes to be Tag Team Champions unlike us! We've won the UCA Tag Team Titles more times than anyone else! We're the current UWE Duos Champions! We were the most extreme Tag Team Champions ever in ECW! You could NEVER hope to be great Tag Team Champions!"
"Well if we could beat such great Tag Team Champions such as yourselves, then we can sure as win the Tag Teams Title and be great champions!" Ed smirked, causing Team 2D to be angered more. "Listen, you guys and try to denounce everything we've done, but it's not going to work! Your little insults about us fell flat the moment we pinned you 1-2-3! If we weren't as good as you, that wouldn't have happened! With what me and Al accomplished, you can't keep up down any longer in UCA! We're going straight to the top of the tag team mountain here!"
"Now, we're going to go for the Tag Team Titles, and you are going to go for the Tag Team Titles." Al said. "Regardless of who wins tonight, Tails and Knuckles or Luigi and Yoshi, all of us will be trying to take those titles from the winners! So I guess it's a race now of sorts! Who can win the Tag Team Titles first? Who can get the shot and capitalize on it first?"
"Oh, the answer is obvious! It's going to be us!" Tom said. "We're going to be EIGHT-TIME UCA Tag Team Champions when it's all said and done!"
"We'll see about that, Team 2D!" Ed said. "Because we plan on adding UCA to the list of tag team mountains we've conquered."
"Over our dead bodies..." Jerry growled.
The two teams stared each other down, all four of them with fire in their eyes as the camera went back to the ring.
"Oh man, I KNEW things were not over between those two teams!" Church said. "Both teams have staked a claim at the Tag Team Titles!"
"I don't know what those Elrics are thinking making a claim on the Tag Team Titles!" Sarge stated. "They have no business being around those titles!"
"Stop being like that, Sarge, I think the Elrics have proven that they can be great Tag Team Champions!" Church said.
"Whatever, Team 2D will soon reclaim the gold and stick it those damn Elrics!" Sarge said.
"Well before any of that can happen, we have to find out who will be the Tag Team Champions going forward." Church said. "And we're finding out...now!
"The following tag team contest is scheduled for one fall...and is for the UCA World Tag Team Championship!"

A mixed reaction could be heard from the crowd as Luigi and Yoshi came out on the stage. Luigi smirked at the crowd before patting the back of the serious Yoshi and said "Let's Go Get Those Titles!" and Yoshi nodded as Luigi led the way down the ramp. Several fans chanted "Luigi! Luigi! Luigi!" while other fans held signs like "Yoshi: Mario's Overrated Dino!" They both entered the ring and Luigi climbed the turnbuckle and looked out to the crowd, while Yosh stood in the middle of it.
"Introducing first, the challengers, repesenting the Mushroom Kingdom, from Brooklyn, New York and Yoshi Island respectively, weighing in at a combined weight of 530 lbs., Luigi and Yoshi!"
"The Chicago crowd seems to be loving Luigi for some reason, maybe because of how underrated he is, but they are just TRASHING on Yoshi here!" Church said. "This match came about when Tails and Knuckles shockingly won the Tag Team Titles from the Mario Bros. last month!"
"Yeah, Mario and Luigi had a rematch clause, but Mario was denied his part in it by Force because the owner thought Mario couldn't handle being both World and a Tag Team Champion!" Sarge said. "So he gave Luigi a Tag Team Title at Royal Reckoning as part of the rematch clause, and allowed Luigi to choose his partner."
"And that partner is none other than Yoshi right here!" Church said. "And if the last two weeks were any indication, Yoshi right here is a huge advantage for Luigi!"

The crowd exploded into loud cheers as Tails and Knuckles came out onto the stage, title belts around their waists as they played to the crowd before standing side by side on the stage. Nodding to each other, Tails threw his arms out as Knuckles pumped his fist in the air, red and yellow pyro going off beside them. The two made their ways as fans held up signs like "Tails 4 World Champion!" and "Yoshi: Knuckle's Punching Bag!" The two slid into the ring and climbed opposite turnbuckles, unhooking their belts and raising them into the air for the fans to see.
"And their opponents, from Westside Island and Angel Island respectively, weighing in at a combined weight of 442 lbs, they are the reigning, defending UCA World Tag Team Champions, Miles "Tails" Prower and Knuckles the Echidna!"
"At Ragnarok last month, Tails and Knuckles were screwed out of the World Title by the Mushroom Kingdom, but they got vengeance the night after by winning the Tag Titles from the Mario Bros.!" Church said. "And now they defend their new titles for the first time tonight!"
"The only reason they won it from the glorious Reds was because of Sonic!" Sarge said. "They can't win without him! And tonight, their little reign will end as soon as it began!"
"Maybe Sonic did help them out, but I feel that Tails and Knuckles are going to show that there's a reason they are Tag Team Champions!" Church said.
Tails and Knuckles handed their title belts to the ref and stared down their opponents as the titles were raised high for all to see before being given to ringside. It was decided that Tails and Luigi would start and the ref rang the bell. Tails and Luigi circled the ring a bit before meeting each other in a lock-up, Tails grabbing Luigi in a Side Headlock after a few moments. Luigi backed up to the ropes with Tails in tow, and pushed Tails off into the adjacent ropes. Luigi went for a clothesline as he came back, but Tails ducked it. Luigi tried for a Back Elbow as Tails came back to him again, but Tails ducked it again. Tails bounced off the ropes once more and nailed a Flying Forearm to Luigi. Luigi got to his feet and was greeted with kicks to the thigh from Tails, and was then kicked in the gut before being lifted for a Suplex. Luigi landed behind Tails though and rolled him up from behind! 1...2...Tails kicks out! Both scrambled to their feet, where Tails rolled up Luigi in a Small Package! 1...2...Luigi kicks out! Both got back up where Luigi caught Tails with a kick to the gut, and then with a Swinging Neckbreaker. Luigi picked up Tails and whipped him into a corner and followed him in, but Tails grabbed the ropes and floated over Luigi. Luigi stopped himself and turned around as Tails landed, and both went for Dropkicks, their feet connecting with each other. They stood off with each other as the crowd applauded in appreciation.
"The crowd is absolutely loving this opening display between these two!'" Church said.
"Well they better love Yoshi and Luigi's eventual title win then!" Sarge said.
Tails smirked while Luigi just glared at him as the crowd duel chanted "Let's Go Luigi!/Let's Go Tails!" The two met up again and were about to go for another lock-up, but Luigi shot out a leg and kicked Tails. Luigi nailed a few fists to the fox's face before hitting him with a quick Scoop Slam on the mat. Luigi bounced off the ropes, and wet for a Leg Drop, but Tails rolled out of the way. Luigi quickly scrambled to his feet, only to be brought down with a Drop Toe Hold by Tails, who then quickly transitioned into a Front Facelock on him. Luigi wasted no time in standing up with Tails in tow, and suddenly hit a Northern Lights Suplex on Tails, bridging it into a pin! 1...2...Tails kicks out! Both got up, and Luigi went for a Clothesline, but Tails ducked it, grabbed the arm, and hit an Arm-Trap Swinging Neckbreaker! Tails picked up Luigi and tagged in Knuckles, and the two whipped him into the ropes. Luigi bounced off them, and into a Double Flapjack from Tails and Knuckles! Knuckles makes the cover! 1...2...Luigi kicks out!
"Luigi gets hits with a double team move, and now Knuckles is in control!" Church said.
"It won't last for long though, not when Tails and Knuckles so much!" Sarge said.
Knuckles picked up Luigi and nailed a few fists to the face, backing Luigi to the ropes. Knuckles grabbed his arm and whipped him, but Luigi reversed and whipped Knuckles into the ropes. When Knuckles bounced back, Luigi went for a Hip Toss, but Knuckles remained rooter to the ground. He went for a clothesline, but Luigi ducked it and bounced off the ropes to Knuckles, and ran into a Tilt-A-Whirl Backbreaker from Knuckles! Knuckles quickly dropped for a cover! 1...2...
...Yoshi comes in to break up the pin! Knuckles stood up angrily as Yoshi got back on the apron, staring down Knuckles. The echidna continued to glare at Yoshi until Luigi hit a Chop Block to his leg from behind by Luigi. Knuckles fell to his knees, allowing Luigi to hit a One-Handed Bulldog on him! Luigi wasted no motion in tagging in Yoshi!
"Uh oh, the big guy's coming in!" Church said.
"And Yoshi's about to demolish that stupid echidna!" Sarge said.
The crowd booed as Yoshi entered, not happy with him being tagged in. Knuckles stood up but was quickly hit by a hard clothesline! Yoshi picked up Knuckles and whipped him into the corner and quickly ran and hit a Corner Clothesline on him! Yoshi pulled him in by the arm, and nailed a Short-Arm Clothesline! Yoshi held onto the arm and picked Knuckles, nailing another Short-Arm Clothesline on him! He picked up Knuckles once more, lifted Knuckles onto his shoulder...
...and nailed a Powerslam on the echidna! Yoshi with the cover! 1...2...Knuckles kicks out! Yoshi stood up...and nailed Tails in the face with a fist! Tails is knocked off the apron as the crowd boos loudly, and Yoshi picks up Knuckles and whips him into the ropes. He lifts him up on the bounce back...
...AND KNUCKLES LATCHES ONTO HIM WITH A GUILLOTINE CHOKE! The crowd is live as Yoshi's eyes go wide as Knuckles tightens the hold with his legs around Yoshi. The hold was applied strongly for a few moments, until Yoshi slowly moved and suddenly ran into the corner, ramming Knuckles back-first into it! Knuckles let go of Yoshi and leaned against the corner as the dino backed up a bit, regaining himself before running at the echidna...
...Knuckles moved out of the way! Yoshi crashed chest-first into the corner and backed out of it leaning into the ropes, and Knuckles used all his strength to clothesline Yoshi over the top rope to the outside! Knuckles turned around saw Luigi charging at him, and the echidna sidestepped and sent Luigi over the top to the outside as well! Knuckles looked at his opponents and saw Tails slide into the ring. They nodded at each other, and Knuckles got on his hands and knees near the ropes. Tails bounced off the ropes and to Knuckles...
...he stepped on Knuckles...
...AND JUMPS OFF HIM! TAILS HIT A SOMERSAULT SENTON OVER THE TOP ROPE TO LUIGI AND YOSHI!
"And there he goes! Tails used his partner as a step pad, and risks it all and nails it all!" Church said.
"Dammit, how the hell did he pull that off?!" Sarge said. "Luigi and Yoshi were supposed to move out of the way!"
Tails stood up and threw his arms out in a pose, the crowd cheering him loudly as he did so. He grabbed Yoshi and with great strain, slowly picked up the heavy dino to his feet and threw him into the ring. Knuckles quickly made the cover on him!

Yoshi kicks out!
Knuckles picked up Yoshi and nailed a few forearm shots to the face before whipping him into the corner. Knuckles ran at Yoshi, and hit a Jumping Forearm Smash to the face of Yoshi. Yoshi staggered out of the corner and bent over as Knuckles got on the second turnbuckle...DIVING BULLDOG ON YOSHI! Knuckles with the cover! 1...2...Kick out! Knuckles picked up Yoshi and dragged him over to his corner. He tagged in Tails who got back on the apron, and the fox entered and both hooked up Yoshi...
...AND DELIVERED A DOUBLE SUPLEX TO YOSHI!
"WOAH! Tails and Knuckles just somehow Suplexed the 300 pounder!" Church said.
"What the hell?! Stop defying logic you stupid anthros!" Sarge said.
Tails quickly made the cover as Knuckles got on the apron!

Yoshi kicks out!
Tails started to deliver punches and kicks to Yoshi as the dino slowly got up. Once up, Yoshi pushed the assaulting fox away into the ropes, but Tails bounced off them and nailed a Dropkick to the knee. Yoshi fell to a knee, and Tails waited as Yoshi got back up, and leaped at the ropes, and springboarded off them for the Flying Chuck...
...AND YOSHI CAUGHT HIM IN MID-AIR! Yosh held the fox in his arms, and moved the fox around and tried to go for a Spinebuster, but Tails slipped out and fell behind Yoshi, trying to roll him up in a Sunset Flip. Yosh stayed on his feet though and Tails laied on the ground holding the legs, and the dino grabbed Tails by the throat. He pulled the fox from under him and to his feet, and tried to go for a clothesline, but Tails ducked it. Yoshi turned around, and got an Enziguri to the skull! Yoshi fell to his knees, and the ref checked on him. Once more, Tails leaped at the ropes...
...LUIGI NAILS TAILS WHILE HE'S ON THE ROPES! The ref didn't see it as he was checking on Yoshi, and Tails fell to the mat as Luigi got off the apron! Tails got up in a daze, and Yoshi got behind him, grabbed him in a Full Nelson...AND NAILED FULL NELSON SLAM!
"That damn Luigi just illegally struck Tails while the ref wasn't looking!" Church said.
"And Yoshi takes advantage with the most beautiful Full Nelson Slam I've ever seen!" Sarge said.
Yoshi makes the cover on Tails!

Tails kicks out!
Yoshi picked up Tails and dragged him over to his corner, where Luigi now stood on the apron for, and tagged in Luigi, to the crowd's delight. Luigi got in as Yoshi lifted Tails up in the air with a Military Press. After a few seconds of holding Tails up, he threw Tails off...
...AND INTO A DOUBLE KNEE GUTBUSTER FROM LUIGI!
"OH DAMN! That had to jar Tails' stomach big time!" Church said.
"And thus, the busting of Tails' gut was witnessed!" Sarge said.
Tails writhed in pain holding his gut before Luigi made the cover!

Tails rolls the shoulder out!
Luigi quickly mounted Tails and delivered consecutive punches to the skull of Tails before picking him up and landing a Scoop Slam on him. Luigi bounced off the ropes and nailed a Jumping Elbow Drop on Tails. Luigi then locked in a Headlock and wrenched on the head. A few moments passed before Tails slowly stood up to his feet with Luigi in tow and elbowed him in the gut several times before he let go of the fox. Tails bounced off the ropes then, and Luigi tried to catch him with a clothesline, but Tails ducked and leaped at ropes as Luigi turned around...
...Tails springboarded off them...
...LUIGI DUCKS THE FLYING CHUCK! Tails crashes the mat stomach-first, and Luigi wastes no time in pickhimg him up, then hooking him up...

Knuckles comes in and breaks up the count!
Yoshi didn't like that and entered the ring and rushed at Knuckles, but Knuckles backed up to the ropes and pulled them down. Yoshi went over them and crashed to the outside. Knuckles stood up but was immediately Dropkicked by Luigi through the ropes and to the outside! Luigi turned back to Tails and picked him, but Tails suddenly rolls him up in a Jackknife Pin!

Luigi kicks out!
Both men scrambled to their feet, and Luigi tried to go for Tails, but Tails executed a Double Leg Takedown on Luigi. The fox hooked up the legs, turned Luigi over...
...AND LOCKS IN A TEXAS CLOVERLEAF!
"Tails is pulling a new trick out of the hat, and now Luigi is just WRITHING in pain!" Church said.
"This Cloverleaf is one of the most painful submissions out there!" Sarge said. "Luigi is going to be snapped in two!"
Luigi cried out in pain and clawed at the mat, Tails pulling back on the hold as hard as he could! Luigi pulled at his head, the pain excruciating as Tails begged for Luigi to tap out! The plumber shook his head in refusal, and tried to crawl towards the ropes. Inch by inch, Luigi crawled towards the rope with Tails in tow, who continued to pull back at the legs even more, trying to get Luigi to tap! Eventually, Luigi was close to the ropes...
...he reached out for them...
...just inches away...
...TAILS PULLS LUIGI BACK TO THE CENTER OF THE RING! Luigi cried out in pain as Tails applied the hold even more, but Yoshi suddenly entered and grabbed Tails by the throat with both hands...lifted him up...
...AND NAILED A CHOKEBOMB ON HIM! The crowd boos at the offense Yoshi landed as the dino growled down at Tails, but Knuckles entered, grabbed Yoshi from behind...AND HIT A FREAKIN' GERMAN SUPLEX ON YOSHI!
"HOLY CRAP! After Tails' submission was ended by Yoshi, Knuckles just lifted 301 lbs. for a German Suplex!" Church said. "That's some strength from Knuckles!"
"Oh damn, why does someone so Red have to be working for the wrong side?!" Sarge said.
Yoshi rolled out of the ring from the impact and Knuckles threw his hand down at Yoshi as if to say "Good riddance" before turning back to Luigi. He tried to pick up the plumber, but Luigi grabbed him and thew him into the middle rope. Knuckles landed on it chest-first, and he stood up holding his chest in pain before being turned around by Luigi. He was lifted up for a Suplex, and once upside down, Luigi adjusted his grip until he was holding Knuckles upside down with arms around the body...
..AND HITS THE LUIGI SCREWDRIVER! Knuckles' head bounced off the mat before he rolled out of the ring. Luigi got up and saw Tails leaning against the corner and ran at him, leaping for a Stinger Splash! Tails moved out the way, and Luigi crashed into the corner. The plumbed backed up a bit holding his chest, and Tails took the chance to get on the second turnbuckle...
...and hits a Diving Neckbreaker on Luigi! Tails makes the cover!

LUIGI KICKS OUT!
"Luigi manages to kick out at the last second, but he's gotta be more careful or he's going to get taken down!" Church said.
Tails picked up Luigi and placed him in the corner, lifting him up to sit on the top turnbuckle. Tails climbed up the corner until he stood on the top turnbuckle. Tails suddenly wrapped his legs around Luigi's head...
...TOP-ROPE FRANKENSTEINER!
...WAIT! Luigi held onto Tails and continue to sit on the top turnbuckle. Tails flailed around as he hung upside down until Luigi exhibited a great amount of strength and lifted Tails back up to a sitting position on his shoulders! Luigi stood on the turnbuckle...
....AND HITS A DIVING POWERBOMB ON TAILS!
"LUIGI JUST DROVE TAILS TO THE COLD HARD MAT OFF THE TOP!" Church exclaimde.
"YES! Tails..." Sarge began.
Tails bounced off the mat onto his stomach and Luigi rolled him over for the cover!

TAILS ROLLS THE SHOULDER OUT!
"You Just Got...DAMMIT IT ALL TO HELL!" Sarge exclaimed.
"Somehow, Tails survives and saves their Tag Team Titles!" Church stated.
Luigi looked frustrated as he saw Yoshi get on the apron. Luigi went over to him and tagged him in to loud boos. Yoshi entered as he waited as Tails slowly stumbled to his feet. Tails stood up and turned around...and was thrown into the air by Yoshi and landed on the mat stomach-first, hit with a Free-Fall! Tails held his abdomen in pain as he rolled over to the corner. Yoshi stood at the adjacent corner and waited as Tails sat in his corner. Yoshi ran full speed...
...AND CRUSHED TAILS WITH THE EGG SCRAMBLER!
"And Tails just got his head scrambled big time!" Church said.
"Yes, his head just got crushed like a melon!" Sarge stated.
Tails was motionless as Yoshi dragged him out of the corner and covered him!

TAILS ROLLS THE SHOULDER OUT!
"WHAT?! How the hell does he keep kicking out?!" Sarge asked.
"The will to not let his title reign end so quickly!" Church said.
Yoshi growled as he stood up and grabbed Tails' arm, dragging him back to the corner. Once there, he climbed up to the second turnbuckle with Tails lying below him. Yoshi steadied himself as he bounced himself up and down on the second ropes...
...Tails suddenly shoots up in a burst of adrenaline and pulls Yoshi's leg from under him! Yoshi falls face-first on the top turnbuckle and goes down to the mat near where Tails laid a bit exhausted. Eventually both slowly made it to their feet, and Tails rushed at Yoshi, only for Yoshi to grab and lift him up for the Yoshi's Paradise...
...Tails manages to land behind Yoshi! Tails leaps at the ropes...
...AND NAILS THE FLYING CHUCK!
"Flying Chuck to Yoshi! This could be Tails' chance!" Church said.
"Oh no! Yoshi, you got to stop him, quick!" Sarge begged.
Tails and Yoshi laid across the mat as Knuckles finally got back on the apron near his corner, and saw the situation. Knuckles began to clap his hand, leading the crowd with him in the clapping before reaching his hand out for a tag. The clapping slowly brought Tails back to reality and he saw the outstretched hand of Knuckles and slowly began to make his way to it. As he crawled, Yoshi came to and saw Tails crawling towards Knuckles. Yoshi stood up and went for Tails...
...TAILS TAGS IN KNUCKLES! The crowd cheers loudly as Knuckles enters and begins laying in vicious punches to the skull of Yoshi, backing him into the ropes before whipping him, but Yoshi reversed and whipped him into the rope. Knuckles bounced off the ropes, and suddenly nailed a Lou Thesz Press on YoshI! He rained down fists on Yoshi's face before getting off, allowing the dino to get up before kicking him in the gut and planting him with a DDT! Knuckles with the cover!

YOSHI KICKS OUT!
"Knuckles is just on fire right now, the hot tag has put his team back in the ball game!" Church said.
"But soon enough, Yoshi will take them out of the ball game!" Sarge stated.
Knuckles picked up Yoshi, but the dino suddenly pushed Knuckles in the ropes, and Knuckles bounced off them and into a Big Boot from Yoshi! With the echidna down, Yoshi picked him up and lifted him into a Military Press over his head! Yoshi was about do something when Knuckles began to struggle above and suddenly landed behind Yoshi, and nailed a lightning quick Reverse DDT! With Yoshi down, Knuckles quickly climbed the corner and stood on the top! He dived off...
...AND NAILED THE ECHIDNA HEADBUTT!
"Echidna Heabutt connects! The head striking the heart of Yoshi!" Church said.
"Oh no! Not good for the Reds!" Sarge stated.
Knuckles hooks the leg!

LUIGI COMES IN AND BREAKS UP THE COUNT!
Luigi stands up as Tails enters the ring and hits a Dropkick to the chest of Luigi, knocking him down to the mat! Luigi held his chest in pain as Tails waited for him to get up. When he did, Tails charged at him...
...Luigi ducks the clothesline...
...TAILS CLOTHESLINE THE REF INSTEAD! Tails looked down at the ref in shock, but only for a moment as Luigi lifted him up from behind and hit a Back-to-Belly Backbreaker on him! Tails arched his back and rolled out of the ring and Luigi admired his work and turned around...into a Spinebuster from Knuckles! The echidna kicked the plumber out of the ring a scowle, but was turned around by Yoshi and was dealt a HARD right hand to the jaw, backing him up into the ropes! Yosh whipped him into the adjacent, and tried for a clothesline as he came back, but Knuckles ducked it. Knuckles bounced back to Yoshi as the dino came back...
...AND THEY TAKE EACH OTHER DOWN WITH CLOTHESLINES!
"Tails and Knuckles are down! Luigi and Yoshi are down! The ref's down! EVERYONE IS DOWN!" Church exclaimed.
"These guys are just destroying each other for the Tag Team Titles! Who knows what is going to happen now!" Sarge said.
The scene of the match remained like this with everyone down either inside or outside the ring for about a minute until Luigi was shown moving on the outside. The plumber reached the ringside crew, and grabbed one of the Tag Title belts from them. Luigi stumbled to his feet and to the ring, sliding into the ring. Luigi stood and leaned against the ropes, readying the belt as he waited for Knuckles to get up. Luigi waited as Knuckles began to stir along with Yoshi, and the two slowly made their way to their feet. Luigi grasped the title belt in his hand tightly pulling it back. Knuckles and Yoshi and stood, and Luigi ran forward, swinging the title belt...
...KNUCKLES DUCKS! LUIGI NAILS YOSHI IN THE HEAD WITH THE BELT!
"Plan to screw over Tails and Knuckles; BACKFIRED!" Church said.
"And Yoshi just got his bell run with the belt!" Sarge said.
Yoshi fell back down to the mat as Luigi looked at the downed dino in shock and horror at having clocked his own partner. Anger soon crossed those features as Luigi saw Knuckles get back to his feet and face him. Luigi once again ran at him, and swung the belt, but Knuckles ducked once more, causing Luigi to stumble forward...
..and into a Head Kick from Tails on the apron! Luigi dropped the belt as he stumbled backwards in a daze before being turned around by Knuckles. the echidna placed Luigi between his legs, lifted him up...
...AND PLANTED HIM WITH THE DEEP IMPACT!
"And Luigi just got the Deepest Impact of his entire life!" Church stated.
"Dammit, now Luigi is no longer a factor here!" Sarge said.
Luigi was laid out in the ring as Knuckles stood up, and the echidna looked to the downed Yoshi before motioning to Tails on the apron. The fox nodded and went to the corner as Knuckles did all he could to drag Yoshi over to the corner. Once done, Tails climbed the corner and stood on the top turnbuckle. Tails held both arms up in a pose...dived off...
...AND HITS THE SPIRAL TAP!
"SPIRAL TAP! SPIRAL TAP!" Church said. "Tails just got all of it!"
"Yoshi, kick out! Kick out for the glory of the Mushroom Kingdom!" Sarge stated.
Tails makes the cover on Yoshi as Knuckles keeps watch! The ref managed to come to and slowly made the count!

("Sonic Heroes Theme" by Crush 40)
"Here are your winners, and STILL UCA World Tag Team Champions, Miles "Tails" Prower and Knuckles the Echidna!"
The crowd cheered loudly as the winners were announced, with several Luigi fans booing the results. Tails got off of Yoshi and jumped in celebration while Knuckles clenched his fists tightly in victory. Knuckles exited the ring and grabbed the title in the ring and then the title held at ringside. He entered the ring, handed Tails his title belt and the two raised their belts in the air.
"Tails and Knuckles pull it off!" Church said. "Despite bringing in the dino monster, Yoshi, Tails and Knuckles are successful in their first defense, and show that they are the real deal as champion!"
"Luigi and Yoshi were screwed here!" Sarge said. "Yoshi got illegally hit with the belt! Those anthros shouldn't have won, or even walk out as champions!"
"You are forgetting that Luigi was the one who tried to use the belt to cheat." Church said. "This is their fault this happened, and Tails and Knuckles still remain on top of the tag team mountain."
Tails and Knuckles climbed opposite turnbuckles and raised their titles in the air for the mostly cheering crowd, celebrating a bit more before getting off and exiting the ring. As they walked up the ramp, Luigi slowly came to and sat up, and saw Tails and Knuckles leaving with their titles. Groaning, Luigi slammed a fist on the mat muttering "Dammit!" Tails and Knuckles raise their titles in the air one last time on the stage.
"Luigi is NOT liking this result, but once again, got no one to blame but himself!" Church said. "And this puts the Mushroom Kingdom 0 for 2 so far in the night!"
"This is NOT going to sit well with Mario at all!" Sarge said. "I can only imagine how pissed the great Red is!"
"Maybe we'll see later, but for now, congratulations to Tails and Knuckles for a successful first title defense." Church said.
UCA Rewind: Royal Reckoning 2000
Royal Rumble Moments: Going the Whole Distance
"2000 was a year of BIG change, of true change within the company." Force stated. "It was like the changing of the guard, so to speak, as the stars of old slowly faded as new big time stars began to take their place. And all of that begin in 2000 at Royal Reckoning...with the Royal Rumble Match."
"For the first four years of my career, there was a big frustration in them." Red said. "Whereas as Ash in WWE always seemed to come up short in Toon Title matches before WrestleMania X8, I always fell short of getting myself a World Title Match. Whether it was against Trunks, Kefka, Wolfgang, or even in the Royal Rumble Match, I got so far but always came up short, failing to get myself that coveted World Title Match. It was...very angering to me, because if I could just get that chance, I knew I could win. And I was determined to get that chance at the 2000 Rumble finally, but..."
The crowd waited for the first entrant to come out as their anticipation grew and grew for the upcoming match. Suddenly...the Trainer Red theme plays as the crowd gives out extremely loud cheers as Red came out onto the stage from the back. He looked out to the crowd for a few moments before taking a deep breath, tilting his hat forward before walking down the ramp.
#1 Red
"Introducing the particpant who enters at #1, from Pallet Town, Kanto,, weighing in at 232 lbs., "Pokemon Trainer" Red!
"Red has been put in the WORST entry number to be in for this match!" Mickey said. "Now if he wants to get the World Title Match he wants so badly, he liteally has to go through 29 other guys to do so!"
"It's impossible!" Pete said. "Just can't happen! NO ONE in UCA history has done it before, and it ain't going to start with some punk-ass trainer!"
"Hey, you can't count him out just yet Pete!" Mickey said. "Anything can happen, you know!"
"After losing to Wolfgang on an episode of Monday Night Flame, I was forced to enter the Rumble from the VERY START, the #1 entry." Red stated. "Before 2000, there were one or two times that a guy entered the UCA Rumble at an extremely low number and won, like Aladdin in 1995 at #5, but from #1...it seemed just about impossible. And some part of me thought that as well. But...I was determined, I was hungry, and I didn't care if it was impossible. I wanted that World Title match, and I'd be damned if I didn't do all I could to get it, #1 or not. So, it began..."
Red had Jerry on the top turnbuckle, and was trying to throw him over the top to the outside, but Jerry held onto the ropes and kept himself on the top. Red kept trying to push Jerry with all of his might, but was suddenly attacked by Tom from behind. Tom pulled Red away from Jerry, but Red suddenly nailed the cat with a right hand, and the two began trading blows in the ring. Jerry suddenly attacked Red from behind and the cat and mouse double-teamed Red until grabbing him and throwing him over the top rope...
...but Red held onto the ropes! His legs dangled just over the floor for a few seconds before he pulled himself onto the apron and rolled back in the ring!
...
Wolfgang pummeled Red in the corner with vicious left and rights before pulling him in for a Short-Arm Clothesline! Wolfgang pulled him back up and hit a quickly Powerslam on him! Wolfgang smirked as he backed up a bit, waiting as Red pulled himself back onto his feet with the ropes. Once up, Wolfgang ran and went for a Wolf's Kick (Brogue Kick), but Red moved out of the way! Wolfgang got himself crotched on the top rope as a result...
..AND RED FLINGS WOLFGANG OVER THE TOP TO THE OUTSIDE!
...
Red leaned against the ropes in exhaustion as Sephiroth came after him, but shot a leg out and kicked him the gut. Red nailed a few rights to the face of Sephiroth, and tried to whip, but Sephiroth reversed and whipped him into the corner instead. Sephiroth ran at him, but Red caught him with his foot, and tried to run at him. Sephiroth caught Red with an Uppercut, knocking Red to the ground and rolled to the ropes. Red stood against them, and Sephiroth clothesline him over them...
...but Red landed on the apron! Red stood up and Sephiorth tried to go after him once more, but Red pulled the rope down and caused Sephiroth to fly over them to the ground!
"Red is fighting with all he's got!" Mickey shouted. "Somehow he's still in this! He wants that Final Clash main event BAD!"
"That damn trainer has had so many close calls, but he keeps hanging on!" Pete said. "But he can't last forever!"
"Red was going through hell in that match, but he kept hanging on." Force stated. "There were so many times when it felt like he was gone, but he stayed in there. No doubt that it was the opportunity at the World Title that kept him going. He didn't want it to slip through his fingers again like all those times before, so even if he was starting from #1, he just kept fighting and fighting, and defying the odds! And eventually, it came down to two...but it was who were the two that mattered...
Spongebob tried to go for the Bikini Bottom on Red, but Red elbowed him in the head, causing him to let go of Red. The trainer Dropkicked Bob in the knee, causing him to stumble, and Blue grabbed him from behind and threw him over the top rope! Spongebob is eliminated as the crowd stands on its feet! Blue stood on one side of the ring and slowly looked over to the exhausted Red, who was now leaning agasint the corner panting heavily.
"We are down to the final two, and can it get any bigger!" Mickey said. "The No. 1 entrant Red! The No. 30 entrant Blue! One of these Pokemon trainers will get a first-class ticket to Final Clash!"
"You can feel the bad blood between these rivals, the desire!" Pete said. "Both are close to a dream, both will do all they can to win!"
"It came down to me and Blue in the Royal Rumble, and it kind of exemplified that change that 2000 represented." Red said. "And even with my record against Blue, I could see the fire in his eyes, the desire, the hunger, just as strong as mine, and I knew there was a chance that Blue could take me down then and there..."
Clips are shown of the final two in 2000! Blue nails a One-Handed Bulldog on Red! Red hits a Diving Neckbreaker on Blue! Blue clotheslines his rival over the top rope, but Red hangs onto the ropes! Red Back Body Drops Blue over the top, but he lands on apron! Blue hits a Diving Crossbody on Red! Red witha n Evenflow DDT! Blue throws Red over, but the trainer hangs on! Emerald Flowsion by Red on Blue! Red kicks Blue over, but Blue again lands on the apron! Blue with a Powerbomb!
"These two are just relentless!" Mickey stated. "These two are going at it like no others! They are giving it their all! They want that main event BAD!"
"These two are jut destroying each other, all for this chance!" Pete said. "But Blue's the fresher guy! He's got the advantage! How long can Red last?!"
...
Red and Blue traded blows in the middle of the ring for several moments until Red got the better of Blue and dazed him before bouncing him off the ropes back to Blue. Blue nailed him in the leg with a Dropkick! Red stumbled forward, and Blue took the chance to hook both arms, and lift him up...
...Red used the momentum to flip over Blue and landed back-to-back with him...he hooked him up...
...AND HITS THE POKE-FLOW!
"POKE-FLOW! POKE-FLOW OUT OF NOWHERE!" Mickey excalimed. "RED GOT HIM!"
"NOW ALL RED HAS TO DO IS THROW BLUE OVER!" Pete stated.
...
Red tried to fling Blue over the top rope, but Blue held onto the ropes! Blue nailed an elbow to Red's head, backing him up away from Blue. Blue went over to Red, but Red suddenly shot out his leg for a Superkick! Blue ducked it in time and kicked Red in the gut, and quickly lifted him up for a Suplex, but Red landed behind him. Blue turned around and was lifted onto Red's shoulders. Blue elbowed Red's head several times, dazing him. Blue got off and landed in front of Red...
...he hooked up Red's arms...he lifted him up until he was upside down in the air...
...AND DRIVES HIM DOWN HEAD-FIRST WITH THE SHELL SHOCK DDT (Lifting Double Underhook Spike DDT)!
"THE SHELL SHOCK DDT! BLUE FINALLY HIT IT!" Mickey shouted. "RED MAY BE OUT!"
"YES! BLUE DID IT! BLUE FINALLY DID IT!" Pete cheered.
"Those two just tore the house down on that night." Force stated. "They just gave it their absolute all and it equated to over ten minutes of pure awesomeness! They always did have great chemistry with each other. The battle between went so long, no one even knew if they were going to beat each other on this night, until..."
Red stood on the apron and Blue threw a right to knock him off, but Red caught it and nailed a right of his own to Blue, backing him up a bit. Red quickly climbed the corner to the top and dived off, but Blue moved out of the way! Red landed on his feet and tuned around to a kick to the gut from Blue! Blue hooked the arms once again and tried to go for a second Shell Shock DDT, but Red spun out of it in time. Blue threw a clothesline but Red ducked it. Blue turned to face Red..
...AND GOT A SUPERKICK TO THE JAW FROM RED! Blue stumbled about the ring, competely out of it! Red grabbed Blue's head...
...AND THREW HIM OVER THE TOP ROPE TO THE OUTSIDE! THE CROWD EXPLODES AS RED FALLS BACK TO THE MAT AS TEARS SPILL FROM HIS EYES!
"Here is your winner of the 2000 Royal Rumble Match, RED!"
"RED DID IT! RED HAS PULLED OFF THE IMPOSSIBLE!" Mickey exclaimed. "RED HAS GONE COAST TO DAMN COAST TO WIN THE ROYAL RUMBLE!"
"THIS IS UNREAL! I NEVER THOUGH THIS KID COULD PULL IT OFF!" Pete said. "IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE, BUT THE KID LASTED OVER AN HOUR TO DO IT!"
"RED HAS PUNCHED HIS GOLDEN TICKET TO FINAL CLASH!" Mickey shouted. "FINALLY, RED GETS TO LIVE HIS DREAM! FINALLY RED GETS HIS WORLD TITLE MATCH!"
"65 minutes, 33 seconds..." Red said. "The was the amount of time I spent in the Royal Rumble match before winning it. To this day, it still stands as the longest time anyone ever lasted in the Rumble, and it was that day I set myself on the path to legend status. People come to me and ask "How did you do it?" To be honest, sometimes I don't know how, but I just kept going. I kept going despite what I went through so I could fulfill my dream, and I pulled it off! It was one of the most memorable moments of my career, and no doubt one of the most emotional ever for me. I will never forget Royal Reckoning 2000...the night I made my dreams come true...the night I went the distance..."
The final shot is of Red in the middle of the ring on his knees, tears of joy spilling from his eyes as he looked up and raised a fist into the air, fireworks going off above him as he shouted "I DID IT!"
