I propose a "Mechanicsburg Death Match". Simpler than it sounds, best 2 of 3, falls count anywhere contest, and we bring our own weapons instead of taxing the B8WL's budget further than it's already been stretched. It *should*, additionally, lessen the chances of... the usual heckery that tends to happen at our big PPVs. It's your choice... (Muttering.... "Along with the bookers, I didn't actually clear the idea with them beforehand this time-")

(Yeah I think I can make that happen easily enough! [note to self: use the object match rules] Since you're the first one to think of 2 out of 3 falls I'll let you pick how that part is handled, at least for this time. So normally, wrestlers accumulate points, and once you get enough you start going for pinfalls or finishers. What do you think should happen after each fall?
A) All points reset (blank slate every fall)
B) Winner's points reset (very likely to go 1-1 with an advantage to the first to score)
C) Winner's points partially reset (they lose like a third of their points, as if they just missed a pin attempt. May or may not favor one side over the other. Falls after the first will be pretty short. Probably less weapon usage, in this case.)

I could see using any of those, so pick one and I'll see how it goes in practice)

someday when I'm feeling motivated I'm gonna go through and figure out if success correlates to certain attributes. I came up with a point buy system in an attempt to balance everybody, but I suspect it's not as balanced as I assumed...although it might be too late to fix >_>

Tone yo' flab

-Cueto comes out to trash these two delinquents, but Panth is going to make it his mission to steal the heart of the Priest of Greed.

-Match: Cena, Scare, and @Strife2 v. Knights Radiant ( @Korayashi , King @Maniac64 , and Zangief)
Maniac's too busy looking regal to hear the opening bell, and gets a Cena spinebuster for his trouble. The match immediately spirals out of control as all six men get involved! It spills out to the floor....and into the audience! Strife starts taking out random bearded fans just to be safe. The ref calls for the bell.
NO CONTEST

-Miz is panicking, with how much time that match was supposed to fill. He turns to see @TheSultanOfSlam , who launches into a barely comprehensible tirade about some guy forgetting to put him on some list, not being booked for two weeks, running an 80s throwback gimmick, David breaking Ludwig's back and making him humble, and the need for a real hardcore champion. Miz rides this out and decides to give him a go at the Hardcore Title at PLAAYMania!

Show #44

-Rock is in the ring with the other members of the CeNation. They got roughed up a bit last week by the Knights, but they're gonna be ready for them tonight...especially with Strife to even the numbers! Soon Kora won't be able to hide behind Maniac, and the Champ will still be here after Mania! Young Creed Bratton slides in from the crowd! He informs Cena that he does not truly appreciate the power of the beard- why, some of his greatest encounters were with bearded ladies. Creed attempts to connect this back to the Cena/Kora match, but @ScareChan just tells Creed to get out of the ring or he'll drop him faster than Netflix is gonna drop his show in a few decades!

-Flair went out there and got the job done against King two weeks ago. Now he's got another tough competitor in @eaedwards6400 , but he's going to suffer the same fate!

-Match: Eaed v. Flair
Back and forth match early on. Eaed hits the Throwback early! Flair rolls out of the ring, and Eaed gives chase. They both just start throwing haymakers on the outside! They be clubberin'! The brawl goes out into the stands for a double DQ.
No contest

-Non-title: UCA Champ Bang v. @MajinZidane
The announcers are kinda overlooking Boko's chances here, in favor of building up to Bang/ECHO at Mania. It starts out looking like a squash indeed, but Boko rallies back off a big boot. The momentum is actually cut off by a random fan running in to try and help Boko out- Bang chucks them both to the outside in the confusion. Bang catches Boko with a big lariat as he comes in. Cover, but Boko kicks out. Another lariat....Boko kicks out again at 2.9. Third time's the charm though, and Bang hits a top rope elbow drop to seal the deal.
Winner: Bang

-Flair comes out to congratulate Bang. Looks like he's officially joining YMD!

-Ludwig is going on about how bad MLMF are gonna rough up their opponents tonight, but David's entrance cuts him off.

-Non-title: Hardcore Champ @davidponte v. Ludwig
Ludwig rolls out every heel trick in the book, but is hoist by his own petard when David chucks him into an exposed turnbuckle. The Koopa Kar comes into play, on the outside, but David scrambles up the corner and dives onto Ludwig! Both men are down for a while, but both men beat the count barely. David is there first though, and rolls up Ludwig for the win. Ludwig is unahppy with this result.
Winner: David

@IhatethisCPU
-Backstage, ECHO is particularly wound up tonight. They are focused on defeating Bang, and destroying her boyfriend would be a unique opportunity...but one can never be too careful around these thugs.

-Match: ECHO v. Bison
ECHO chokes Bison out for a bit, then for a break, throws him out over the top. Bison wipes out hard on the outside, and doesn't make it back for the count. That's that.
Winner by countout: ECHO

-Bang helps Bison to the back, and he can be heard warning her that ECHO is going to be a tough challenger.

-Mario is backstage with Cueto. He thinks Cueto has gotten to be a bit too out of control. Cueto thinks this is odd, coming from a guy who wiped out a lot of the Rumble and then didn't even have the decency to get eliminated in a sensible fashion. Mario shouldn't get involved in management business, and Bryan and Panth are about to find that out the hard way.

-Match: Bryan and @Panthera v. MLMF ( @Eddv and Truth)
Early on, Truth hits Panth (on the apron) with the Truth or Consequences....but bumps the ref in the process! ....Into the ring slides MORGANA, who will take over the referee duties so that everybody can go home to bed. He's clearly favoring the face team though, and Panth in particular because he hasn't come up with a third gimmick so now he's a Phantom Thief I guess. Bryan and Panth dominate from there on out, with Panth scoring the fall on Truth.
Winners: Bryan and Panth

- @Strife2 has a mic. Last week, Kora vaulted into the main event of PLAAYmania at Strife's expense. Kora has big title picture fish to fry tonight, and for now that's fine, because Strife has a score to settle. Maniac thought he was screwing Strife, but in the long run he is just screwing himself, beca- Maniac blasts Strife from behind with a scepter! Maniac beats Strife down off the cheap shot. Strife has some trouble standing, but wants to have the match anyway.

-Match: Strife v. King @Maniac64
Maniac is clearly feeling like he has this in the bag before it's started, but soon receives a grim reminder that Strife is tougher and nastier than an old rusted nail. After Strife bullies his smaller opponent for a bit, Maniac resorts to grabbing a TV monitor....but it explodes in his face! He's not Dean Ambrose, though, so the match is able to continue. Maniac eventually manages to outlast Strife, but it took all his best stuff AND a pre-match beatdown.
Winner: Maniac

-This probably isn't over, but it looks like Maniac has been able to outwit the monster so far. ((Maniac learns SMART))

-Match: CeNation (B8WL Champ Cena and @ScareChan ) v. Knights Radiant ( @Korayashi and Zangief) w/King Maniac
Continuing the pattern du jour, Maniac bonks Scare with a scepter while the ref is going over the rules with Cena. Very back and forth match. Scare tanks a Spinning Lariat, surviving to tag out to Cena. Later on, Zangief distracts the ref while Maniac slides in the ring and puts the STF on Cena himself! Maniac escapes without getting caught. Kora is back to his feet....and gets the Barber's Chair on Cena! Cena loses consciousness in the sleeper hold!
Winners: Kora and Zangief

Show #43

-In a somewhat awkward moment, Bowser welcomes Mario to the Koopa Korner. Mario has no idea what happened to him at the Rumble, but he wants some answers! He also wants to blow off some steam against anybody who's ready to go. He issues an open challenge! It's answered by....Dario Cueto? Cueto already has booked Mario in a match for tonight against XIII, but since Mario is so fired up, he'll go ahead and make it a Mastery of Taybles match! He also has a special gift to thank Mario for wrecking the first half of his Rumble. Ludwig runs in from the crowd and attacks Mario! Bowser gets in on the action, but here comes....Daniel Bryan, to make the save! It's a bit awkward between him and Mario, since Bryan was the one to officially eliminate Mario, but regardless we are saved from what could've been a mean beatdown.

-Match: Bryan v. @Eddv
Eddv comes out and decides now is a good time to cut a promo. Bryan lays him out and the bell rings. As expected, Bryan is able to take control early on, but Eddv comes back with some power offense, building to a sicknasty Squat Drop! Bryan rallies....and puts him away with a running powerbomb!
Winner: Bryan

-Cueto comes out to ask if Bryan is sorry for sticking his nose in other peoples' business. This resembles the interaction with Panth a few weeks back, and Bryan similarly refuses to accept Cueto.

-Mastery of Taybles: Champion Mario v. @XIII_rocks
Both of these men made huge statements at the Rumble, and yet find themselves out of the title picture afterwards. Fans are solidly behind Mario as the competitors enter. Mario seems to be more fired up, starting with an Armbar and then a series of shots to the face. XIII escapes the initial flurry by hitting him with a rock. (one of 13) Mario rolls out of the ring for a breather and a table, but XIII chucks him into the barricade. Mario dodges a followup tackle, and the crowd rallies behind him some more! Big suplex on the outside, but XIII breaks the momentum with a thumb to the eye. Mario responds with an enziguri, and then a moonsault on his downed challenger. Mario sets up the tayble...and Mushroom Stomps XIII through it!
Winner and STILL champion: Mario

-XIII isn't happy...and smacks the celebrating Mario with the other 12 rocks! Mario is dazed as his run of bad nights continues, but at least he keeps the title.

-Non-title: UCA Champ Bang v. @Panthera
Panthera is getting a bit more edgy lately, and indeed runs in to interrupt Bang's pre-match gloating. Unfortunately, "comedy face developing a mean streak" is no match for "actual psychopath heel," and Bang immediately drags Panth down to her level and starts to beat him with experience. Panth takes a step back and regroups, and has a much better time trying to go to the mat instead. Big rally....but Bang cuts it off with a chokehold, soon after getting the pinfall.
Winner: Bang

-This dog thing clearly isn't working for Panth... ((hey friend the dice want you to change your gimmick again >____>))

-Truth formally welcomes Ludwig von Koopa into the B8WL and the Men of Low Moral Fiber. He calls him Korayashi a few times, but never mind that.

@IhatethisCPU
-Match: ECHO v. Ludwig
There is clearly no love lost here, nor any hesitancy to bend the rules. Referee Jerry Maddux gives them plenty of leeway to fight fast and loose. ECHO baits Ludwig into trying a low blow- a questionable move at best against a non-binary(?) android(?). ECHO grabs a chair, and they do a rather silly spot trading it back and forth to alternate chair shots. Ludwig chickens out eventually when it's his turn, eliciting some boos. ECHO instead simply grabs him and hits the Spike Piledriver for the 123.
Winner: ECHO

-ECHO spots a man in the crowd reading a newspaper, and claims that the big news will be ECHO taking the UCA title from Bang. Mr. Zero is insulted that anything is trying to compete with his paper.

ECW A Matter of Respect
Week 2, May 1996

Sabu and Mustapha Saed have a slightly more laid-back match than one might expect, with Sabu going over. (C) Heyman brings out the women of ECW to fill our eye candy quota with a bikini contest. Missy Hyatt wins. (C+) Taz defends his TV title against the Network's Jericho next! Taz drags a decent match out of the rookie Jericho, and gets the big win despite Alfonso's ringside protestations. (D)

The Hardy Boyz look to make a statement against Big & Strong, but alas, tonight is not the night to make themselves famous. The kids show a lot of heart, but Henry and Bigelow just can't be stopped. (C-) Cactus and Whipwreck want to settle the score FOR GOOD. (C) They brawl all over the ring, and Cactus legit breaks Whipwreck's hand with a chair stomp! He gets a rather rushed win shortly thereafter. (C+)

The time for philosophy is over, as Stevie Richards attempts to beat some atonement out of the sanctimonious Barry Windham. Dreamer is at ringside, torn as always between his loyalty to ECW and his belief in Windham's teachings. Stevie winds up making the decision for him, as he takes time to argue with him, giving Windham time to set up for a Flying Lariat for the win. (C)

We're supposed to have a tag title match with the Pitbulls defending against the returning Steiners, but the Steiners jump the champs on the ramp! The match never gets started, but the Steiners lay out the champs and pose with the belts, their point made. They've been taking notes on XIII's B8WL run. (C-)

Too Cold Scorpio gets his shot at Shane Douglas' ECW Title! The usually easygoing Scorpio is serious tonight, pushed by constant patronizing and disrespect from the Network. Champ and challenger take some time feeling each other out, and before too long, Jericho and Alfonso make an appearance at ringside. (presumably Whipwreck is there in spirit) Their harrassment turns the tides in Douglas' favor- all stuff we've seen before from them. It's starting to look grim for Scorpio....when out from the back charges LA PARKA, back from injury and out for revenge! He takes out Jericho with a chair! Alfonso bails! Parka even slides in the ring for a staredown with Douglas. No contact is made....but Scorpio hits the Diss That Don't Miss! 1....2....3! Scorpio has, with Parka's help, triumphed over the Network! (C-)

Overall: C-

Full: WCW, WWF, AWF, USWA, ConWA
Partial: NJPW, AJPW, CMLL, WAR, UWFi

Maniac: 11/15
War: 8/15
5tar: 8/15
Sultan: 2/15
(Bonus 2 was the Steiners btw- I didn't want to put the tag belts on them here but they didn't want to take even a DQ loss)

Maniac: 66/78

@WarThaNemesis2 you get to determine how the Network reacts to this batch of losses! Do they press on, still a dominant force? Kick somebody out? Disband entirely? Become jobbers? Something else within reason? Your call!

I think next Rumble I'll start 4 in the ring like some of the video games. May or may not do much to stop somebody making a run as dominant as Mario's, but should prevent that long boring stretch of having 1-2 people at a time. We run the risk of having the opposite problem of having the ring fill up too much, but that's the side I'd rather err on I think.

Striker: No surprises here, but will it throw off Maniac's plan to be deprived of his Knights heading into the final four?

Heenan: If he was a simple peasant, sure, but this is your king! Show some respect!

Your final four is Bryan, Strife, Kora, and Maniac! Bryan welcomes Maniac with some hard chops. (113) Bryan beats Maniac in a test of strength, and backs him into the ropes. (114) Kora catches Strife with an armdrag. (115) Maniac fights his way out of the ropes with some shots to Bryan's face. (116) Bryan responds with a Bulldog, and Strife pulls Maniac's leg as he tries to get back up. (117) Maniac stumbles forward but lands a Bionic Elbow on Bryan anyway. (118) Maniac tosses Bryan, but Bryan hangs on, and pulls Maniac out to the apron with him! (119) They're brawling on the apron....and both lose their footing and fall! (120)

Kora and Strife remain! One of these two men is facing Cena at PLAAYMania! Kora chokes Strife out for a bit. (121) Strife powers out of it (122) and slams Kora! He's almost there! The fans cheer him on.....and Maniac bumrushes him, throwing him out! (123)

Heenan: This kid's impressive! He got off his mom's couch AND wiped the Cheeto dust off his shirt!

Scare drives by Zangief with an elbow strike. Panth finishes Zangief off with another dropkick! (93) Sonic goes for a rana on Mario....But Mario powerbombs him to the outside to finish the battle of the ages! (94) Mario's pumped! He plants a foot in Sultan's gut. The crowd is behind him....Mario clotheslines Sultan over the top! (95) Panth and Scare have had about enough of the Mario run, and put the boots to him before he can rack up more eliminations. (96)

3...2...1...

Entrant #26: Daniel Bryan

Striker: We're nearing the end of this Rumble, and one of the favorites to win has made a late entrance!

Heenan: I'm telling ya, it's gonna come down to Mario and Maniac. And then the King will put that guy in his place like he did last week.

Bryan decides to be the next guy to try Mario, and gets caught in a full nelson for his trouble. (97) Mario tosses Bryan into Panth, nearly sending both out. (98) Mario remedies this by Super Jump Punching Panth over and out. (99) Mario powerslams Scare as the countdown begins again. (100)

3...2...1...
https://rave.dj/kgw5dIl-tFNkTw
Entrant #27: @Strife2

Strife enters and gives Scare an extra slam. Strife flings Mario over the top! ...But Mario skins the cat as Strife walks away. Scare has a similar close call against a toss from Bryan. (101) With both on the apron, Mario Jump Punches Scare to the floor! (102) Solid Knee Plus on Mario! Mario tumbles over the top but onto the apron. The announcers notice some...golden....butterflies? The lights flicker for a moment, and when they come back, Mario is on the ground nursing his leg. There's a....stake in it? He'll be able to walk it off probably, but he has been eliminated from the Rumble under mysterious circumstances! (The official record books will credit Bryan with an elimination.) Mario was chosen as a sacrifice by Highlight Reel D. He has the right to bemoan his fate. (103)

((Depending on the interpretation it was that or have Morgana steal his heart. I'm not sure which would be better but this has better possibilities for the future >_>))

Hype Guy takes advantage of the confusion to hit a Chop Block on Bryan! (104)

3...2...1...

Entrant #28: @Korayashi

Striker: Have you ever worn a beard, Heenan?

Heenan: If Kora wins this Rumble, I might start one!

Kora opens up by kicking Strife in the head. (105) Strife just tackles him. (106) Bryan gets a Yes chant going so he can dig deep to beat Hype Guy. (107) Strife's working Kora's leg with a series of stomps and drops. (108)

3...2...1...

Entrant #29: M. Bison

Striker: What a huge advantage for the Knights Radiant to pull number 29 after locking down 30!

Heenan: Bison and Maniac were the favorites of any smart bookie anyway, and now they've got this all wrapped up! Consider it....called.

Strife is not quite managing to get Kora out, so he goes after Bison instead, and throws him into Kora's boot. (109) Strife freakin' chokeslams Bison out! (110) Bryan has Hype Guy in the Yes Lock! (111) Bryan does a diving headbutt and finally vanquishes his greatest foe. (112)

Entrant #22: B8UCA Hype Guy

Striker: It's the Viceroy of Videos! The Purveyor of the Pantheon! The Headmaster of Hype himself!

Heenan: ...Yeah, but can he even wrestle?

Sultan launches Eddie over the top. (81) Mario still can't finish off Sonic. (82) Sonic piledrivers him! (83) Hype Guy gets Zangief in a sleeper and hangs on for dear life. (84)

3...2...1...

Entrant #23: Tommy Dreamer

Striker: Straight out of Tombolo's ECW Diary, it's Tommy Dreamer!

Heenan: Yeah he couldn't break out of the upper midcard there either.

Zangief gets Hype Guy off his back, then yeets Dreamer into the sun. (85) Mario loses focus and Tails throws a ring at his head. (86) Sonic capitalizes with a flurry of strikes. (87) Hype Guy is going back to the Princess Bride strats with Zangief. (88)

3...2...1...

Entrant #24: @Panthera

Striker: ...y'know, this theme isn't really suited for a guy entering into a serious angle

Heenan: Yeah well he can win a match and get back to me.

Mario hits Sonic with a Giant Swing. (89) Zangief is struggling with Hype Guy (90) but removes him by running backwards into the corner. (91) ....Only for Panthera to level him with a dropkick! (92)

.....Okay I'm sorry. I budgeted the whole afternoon for this but that appears to not be enough. >_> I have tickets to an indy show tonight so I'll finish when I get back if I'm awake. <_<

Entrant #15: R-Truth

Striker: Do the Men of Low Moral Fiber have anything else up their sleeves tonight?

Heenan: Nah, it's just Truth. I coulda told you that.

Jericho catches Truth with a stomp as he comes in. Mario swoops in to eliminate Truth! Now he's a kill-stealer too! (53) Mario takes a moment to admire his handiwork, but Jericho catches him from behind with a suplex! (54) Truth taunts Sonic (MLMF ended his career, after all!) and Jericho almost tosses Sonic out while they argue. Almost. (55) Sonic finds the ring and monkey flips Jericho out! (56)

Entrant #16: @MajinZidane

Striker: Boko is looking for a first win, and what a grand one this would be!

Heenan: I don't know how many more of these goody two-shoes guys I can take. Maybe they'll all fall out.

Mario and Boko lock up in a test of strength. Mario eventually comes out on top and drops an elbow on Boko. (57) Mario eliminates Boko with a head scissors. (58) Tails reminds us he's here by dumping a drink over Mario's head before he goes back to fighting Sonic! (59) Mario busts out the Mario Tornado in retaliation. (60)

Entrant #17: @Eddv

Striker: The last hope of the MLMF tonight!

Heenan: Maybe they have another guy! But I'm not telling you.

Mario very very nearly gets an OHKO on Eddv with a Mario Tornado. (61) Instead Mario spears Eddv, but Eddv is still hanging on. (62) A Hip Drop doesn't do it either. (63) But Mario DOES manage to put him away with a full nelson slam! (64)

3...2...1...

Entrant #18: Antonio Brown

Striker: It's the hottest free agent in football, Antonio Brown!

Heenan: Don't pretend you're cool enough to follow sports.

Mario goes for another full nelson, but Brown slips out before long. (65) Mario however catches him with a Super Jump Punch, sending him out. (66) There's one for Sonic too, but Sonic manages to stay alive. (67) Mario and Sonic chain wrestle to fill time. (68)

3...2...1...

Entrant #19: Zangief

Striker: The first Knight Radiant enters the ring! With Kora yet to appear and Maniac guaranteed #30, do you think this group has a good chance tonight?

Heenan: I sure hope so because I'm tired of looking at Mario's ugly mug.

Mario is still working on Sonic, but a Hip Drop doesn't soften him up enough to eliminate. (69) Instead, Sonic hits a Homing Attack! (70) Mario catches Sonic with a flapjack off the ropes. (71) Zangief picks his spot and tries to toss out Sonic, but he skins the cat. (72)

3...2...1...

Entrant #20: Eddie Guerrero

Striker: Can you feel the heat, Heenan?

Heenan: Yeah, I don't think they paid the A/C bill.

Eddie runs circles around Zangief, wearing him down with a flurry of offense. (73) Mario hits a flipping dropkick on Sonic. Doesn't eliminate him, but the crowd likes it. (74) Three Amigos on Zangief! (75) Sonic wipes out Mario with a lariat. (76)

3...2...1...

Entrant #21: @TheSultanOfSlam

Striker: The rumors are true- the third Ed is here!

Heenan: That's about two too many for my tastes.

Striker: Just two?

Heenan: The old one has good booze.

Sultan stalks his prey while Sonic hits Mario with a Homing Attack. (77) Mario responds with a series of chops. (78) Spinning Lariat on Eddie! (79) Sultan stabs Eddie with a fork, but the ref is tired of the foreign objects and confiscates the fork. (80)

Entrant #9: @eaedwards6400

Striker: It's the man from the future himself!

Heenan: He might as well go back there with all the success he's had.

Eaed goes after Mario, but gets stopped with a flurry of punches, including a couple from ECHO. (29) Eaed tries a haymaker and Mario catches it...and catapults him out of the ring! (30) Mario and ECHO now. Mario slips around and gets an Octopus Hold on ECHO! ....and then throws them out! (31) Mario is making the best of that #1 slot and stands to easily hold the single-rumble elimination record for a long time! Can anybody stop him? (32)

Entrant #10: Bangladesh DuPree

Striker: If anybody can pose a threat to the Master of Taybles' reign of terror, it's UCA Champion Bangladesh DuPree!

Heenan: She's gotta show more brains that when she got her buddy's title match thrown out, though.

Oddly, they engage in some technical wrestling, with Mario coming out on top. (33) He capitalizes with a standing dropkick. (34) Bison comes running down to help, but just manages to distract Bang! Mario chucks her out onto him! (35) The Cinderella run continues with rapidly decreasing amounts of believability! (36)

3....2.....1


Entrant #11: Kofi Kingston

Striker: It's the WWE Champion, Kofi Kingston!

Heenan: Oh yay, the champ of a dying company. That sounds like the guy I want to take on this unstoppable Mario guy!

Striker: Jamaican me crazy.

Immediate backbreaker on Kofi. (37) Big boot sends Kofi over the top! (38) Sadly the mechanics are not adequate to give him a Kofi spot. (39) I am not rigging this and Mario *shouldn't* be OP I promise. (40)

Entrant #12: @davidponte

Striker: David has finally found success in B8WL by winning the Hardcore Title! What's next for UCA's greatest star?

Heenan: A quick elimination, judging by his track record and Mario's.

Slow it down, brother. Mario gets a headlock. (41) Mario suplexes David over the top....but David hangs on to skin the cat! (42) David tries to come back in with a tope-like move, but Mario dropkicks him out of the air to the floor. (43) The other battle royal I ran went forever and maybe I overcompensated to make elims too easy >_> (44)

3...2...1...


Entrant #13: Sonic the Hedgehog

Striker: Can you ask for a more iconic moment than Mario's best friend coming back just to be forced to end Mario's amazing Rumble run? Listen to that crowd!

Heenan: ...wait and see if he survives more than two turns before you get excited.

Mario and Sonic exchange looks....then Sonic strikes first with a dropkick! (45) Sonic goes for another, but Mario jumps over and lands a Hip Drop. (46) Mario's up first and hits a head scissors takedown. (47) Sonic responds with an Overdrive and oh my goodness we're going to the next entry without an empty ring! (48)

3...2...1...
(epilepsy warning?)


Entrant #14: Chris Jericho

Striker: They say that 14 is an unlucky number in the Rumble, but Jericho is planning to disprove that legend and celebrate with a little bit of the bubbly!

Heenan: The man lost a belt. He's already been hit with the curse, he's just too tough to care!

Mario turns to focus on the newcomer, but Sonic hits him from behind! That's less than best-friendly, but it's every man for themselves after all. (49) Mario gets upset and fires back as Jericho meanders towards the ring at his leisure. (50) Mario puts Sonic in the Walls of Jericho to taunt Jericho, but lacks the focus to keep the hold locked in. (51) A frustrated Mario gives Sonic a stomp, and Jericho manages to get in the ring right before the next guy comes out. (52)

Striker: It's the defending champion of the Royaliest of Rumbles!

Heenan: Wait, wouldn't that be-

Striker: It's Christian. Tombolo hasn't finished this year's marathon yet.

Heenan: At least it's not an Uso.

Christian slides into the ring and immediately eats a scoopslam. (9) Christian is able to sweep Mario's feet, though, putting Mario on the defensive for the first time this match. (10) Christian pops up and does a quick flip senton. (11) He even sneaks in a low blow as the ref is distracted by the countdown! (12)

3...2...1...


Entrant #5: ECHO

Striker: B8WL's very own mystery wrapped in an enigma!

Heenan: Wrapped in a tin can!

@IhatethisCPU

ECHO proceeds slowly as Mario hits a towering slam on Christian, but fails to capitalize with an elimination. (13) Christian rolls away as ECHO lariats Mario, (14) but ECHO catches up with Christian and gives him a legdrop! Mario throws in a legdrop of his own. (15) Christian rolls out of the ring, and smacks ECHO with a chair as the android attempts to pursue. (16)

3....2....1....


Entrant #6: Penta El Zero

Striker: It's Pentagon! Back in the B8WL for one night! ....And more, if he can outlast 29 other competitors!

Heenan: This guy already has killer instinct in spades, and now he's got a chip on his shoulder. He'll be one to watch.

Penta rips the chair away from Christian and scares him into the ring. Undeterred, Christian catches ECHO with a slam, then turns his attention to Mario. (17) Mario whips Christian into the ropes, but he's a slippery little devil and not that easily eliminated. (18) Christian slips away from a followup punch. (19) But the second one gets him! (20)

3...2...1


Entrant #7: Terezi Pyrope

Striker: LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT HOMESTUCK

Heenan: She should probably get those horns checked out somewhere. Maybe her eyes too. That skin for sure. Heck just put her in the freakshow and call it a day.

Terezi slides in the ring, but isn't watching where she's going (for, uh, obvious reasons) and gets caught by a Starship Pain from ECHO! Terezi rolls away but gets caught by a backhand from Mario, knocking her down again. (21) She's able to do a single leg takedown on ECHO though. (22) Mario has somehow gotten the armbreaker on Pentagon! Mario chucks him out while he's nursing the arm. (23) ECHO sends Terezi reeling with a big uppercut....and Mario bundles her over the top! (24)

Striker: We know that theme, but is it Eddv or R-Truth?

Heenan: I know which one, but I'm not telling you!

Entrant #8: Ludwig von Koopa

Striker: Ludwig! Ludwig is officially in B8WL, and he's thrown in his lot with MLMF!

Heenan: See, I told you it was neither of 'em!

ECHO immediately graces Ludwig with a Starship Pain, but doesn't get all of it. (25) Mario comes over to help, but gets poked with one of the stabbin' forks from the Koopa Kar. (26) ECHO gets a direct hit with it, though, and Mario swings wildly at Ludwig but hits ECHO instead. (27) Ludwig plays to the crowd...and ECHO rushes him with a Starship Pain! They really like that move tonight. ECHO tosses out the Koopaling unceremoniously! (28)

SHOW #42- Royal Rumble

-The Rock is here to speak with those MLMF roodypoo candyasses. @Eddv and Truth play into every single one of Rock's signature disses, but they insist that they have something special lined up for tonight. Well, the Rock has a surprise of his own for them! @davidponte runs in, catching them by surprise! He lays Eddv out with the Hardcore belt, hits End of Days on Truth, and locks Eddv in the UCA Special!

-King (still from Tekken) is here! He bumps into M. Bison backstage. King inquires whether Bison wants to donate to the orphanage in honor of the next match. Bison would rather burn the orphanage down, so King should get out of his face if he even wants to make it to the ring.

-Charity: King v. Ric Flair
Flair drops an elbow on King right as he's getting in the ring! King's able to battle back after taking some punishment, but Flair is able to stay one step ahead of him, and spikes him hard with a DDT for the win.
Winner: Flair

-Flair allows King to stay in the ring and get a round of applause after the match.

-Bison blindsides Cena on the entry ramp for the title match, and gets a few sucker punches in before Cena's allies come to the save. It's a three-on-three brawl between the CeNation and You Me and Dupree! Pandemonium in the arena! The fight eventually slides into the ring long enough to ring the bell- Cena hits a big right on @XIII_rocks , @ScareChan runs in and chucks XIII out of the ring, and the brawl continues! The ref gives up and calls for the bell! Officially this will go down as a countout win for Cena.
Winner by BS countout on the second card and still champion: John Cena

-The announcers speculate that, with the Rumble winner getting a guaranteed title match at PLAAYMania, YMD may have just cost XIII his best chance at the belt! It was a good plan on paper, but XIII has been hoist by his own petard! ((XIII loses Smart))

Matt Striker: It is now the moment you have all been waiting for....the Royal Rumble! It works just like the one from that other company, with one exception: we track time in Fast Action Cards, and after every four FACs, a new challenger will enter.

Bobby Heenan: We'll even have a tracker up so you basement-dwelling stat-loving nerds can keep track of all the numbers and stats.

Matt Striker: Let's go to the ring!



Entrant #1: Mario

Striker: The man who got the bum end of the Unique Opportunity, Mario is forced to start in the very worst position!

Heenan: Maybe he should've tried winning the match. Besides, it's not like #2 has any better of a chance!



Entrant #2: Andre the Giant

Heenan: ....Unless it's that legend of a man right there!

Striker: Can anybody even lift Andre to eliminate him?!?

Andre just blasts Mario with a meaty right hand (1) but Mario bounces back off the ropes and lands a big dropkick to stagger him! (2) Mario slips around and locks in a sleeper! Andre is woozy! (3) Mario nearly finishes the job with another dropkick, but Andre keeps his footing. (4)

3....2....1



Entrant #3: "Blackthorn" Dalinar Kholin

Heenan: This guy is all about violence. I love it!

Striker: ...Vampiro, is that you?

Mario knocks Andre over the top with a Mario Tornado! (5) Dalinar sees an opening and attacks, but Mario is ready with a massive suplex! Dalinar goes flying over the top, but skins the cat to survive. (6) Mario dropkicks him off. (7) Mario gets a bit of a break before #4! (8)
