Entrant #51: Soma Cruz (CastleVania)
Once the buzzer sounded out yet again, the crowd all gazed in pure excitement as a handsome silver-haired man with a skin-tight black shirt, blue jeans, white boots and furry white trenchcoat made his way through the curtain set to the tune of "Twist of Cain" by Danzig. Out of the ovation he was getting, most of it were coming from all of the female demographic, who were going batshit crazy and fangirlish all over this handsome vampire-slayer.
"Oh, the surprises just keep coming, don't it, Cole?" Tazz said to Cole with anticipation.
"No doubt we got one in the form of CastleVania's underrated fan favorites, Soma Cruz!" Cole nodded.
"Definitely one of those characters that doesn't get much love in the series," JR nodded as well, "But he's here to make his name known!"
After he got right in the ring, he noticed Joker going after him with a big haymaker. But he used his smarts to dodge the punch with a haymaker of his own. And then, he followed it with yet another haymaker before dropping Joker out with a big running neckbreaker!
"Soma getting the best of Joker right here!" Tazz exclaimed.
"What kind of name is Soma?" The King said, raising his eyebrow, "I swear, it sounds like the name of an energy drink!"
JR raised his eyebrow himself as he said, "Yikes, now that you do mention it, it really does, King!"
Soma wasn't quite done with Joker just yet as he took his time to slowly get up on his feet.
When he did though, Soma came rushing in and nailed Joker to the mat with a vicious RKO!
"What an RKO!" Cole shouted incoherently.
"Joker hasn't been playing his cards right ever since he entered the ring!" Tazz shook his head.
"Except for that big kiss he laid on D-Va not too long ago!" The King said, remembering that moment, "I wonder if her lips got a little thick from that?"
As Soma continued his momentum in the match, there was a big five-man fist-fight breaking out in the ring between Corvo Attano, Vault Dweller, Lone Wanderer, T.J. Combo and Zero while at the same time, Cloud was looking at this scene face-first, which gave him an idea up his sleeve just by setting up the ladder.
He then started to climb up rung after rung, which caught the attention of both fans and the commentators alike in jaw-dropping fashion.
"Oh my goodness, what is Cloud doing?" JR said with a big gulp on his throat.
"I don't know, but I sure as hell don't like the looks of this!" The King shook his head.
"Cloud's not even caring if the worst happens to him!" Tazz shook his head as well, "If Cloud wants to risk his body, then risk it he will!"
The fistfight lasted for a good ten seconds before the five men all looked up to see Cloud Strife standing on a ladder.
Cloud took in a deep breath before he turned right around and leapt off the ladder, nailing the five men with an insane moonsault! That big stunt brought out a very gigantic pop from the entire San Diego crowd, who broke out in a big "Holy Shit" chant in return.
"OH MY GAWD!" J.R. shrieked with terror.
"Cloud Strife with a moonsault off the ladder!" Cole yelped out of his seat, "What height!"
"This Cloud just ain't right, guys!" The King shook his head, obviously in the most insane way possible.
Meanwhile, as the crowd were picking up a lot of steam from Cloud's ladder moment, Setsuka was trying her best to lift up Byleth with a big powerbomb (much to her mistake) when all of a sudden, she looked up and saw Dorothea leap off the top rope and nail the umbrella-wielding samurai with a top-rope clothesline!
"Oh, bad place, wrong time, Setsuka!" Tazz chuckled.
"I don't know what the hell she was thinking trying to get Byleth off his feet!" JR said, shrugging his shoulders.
The hit knocked Setsuka long enough for Dorothea to gesture over to Byleth, signaling for a table to use. The blue-haired professor agreed right away as he went right through the ropes and searched under the apron, pulling out a wooden table much to the delight of the San Diego crowd themselves.
"Well, Setsuka isn't gonna like what's coming to her!" Cole replied, shaking his head non-stop.
"What can I say, Cole? You gotta give the fans what they want!" The King said to Cole.
"That's exactly right, King!" Cole replied, "Because remember, the fans are the reasons why all of this is even possible."
"Indeed!" JR nodded.
Once Byleth brought the table inside the ring, he began to set it up while Dorothea made sure Setsuka didn't escape. After it was set up, Dorothea managed to place Setsuka right on the table but not before slugging her in the face with a haymaker, just to make sure she didn't move one bit.
With Setsuka in perfect position, both Byleth and Dorothea went to their separate corners and started to climb up simultaneously, forcing the crowd to stand up toward their seats in pure suspense once more!
"Oh no, this is gonna be pure trouble for Setsuka!" Cole cringed.
"I think this is giving me Heatwave '98 flashbacks, Cole!" Tazz said to Cole, obviously referring to one of ECW's PPV's.
"This is definitely not gonna be good!" J.R. shook his head.
As Setsuka found herself no place to move, both Byleth and Dorothea leapt up off the top rope with a big leg drop/splash combo, crash landing onto Setsuka and the table altogether! Byleth got her with the splash while Dorothea delivered a big leg drop in the process.
"GOOD GAWD!" J.R. screamed, "SHE'S BROKEN IN HALF!"
"More like they broke her to pieces, JR!" The King shrieked out of fear.
"You could be damn right about that, King!" JR nodded back to the King.
The crowd erupted in a big roar, breaking out yet another "Holy Shit" chant that nearly shook the entire stadium in two.
However, that soon died out once the entire crowd all looked over to the stage and saw the Rumble clock light up once more, this time to bring out the next entrant that was about to enter the match next.
"This is going insane, guys!" Tazz shouted to his broadcast partners, "I wonder who's gonna crank the insanity next?"
10… 9… 8… 7… 6… 5… 4… 3… 2… 1… *BZZT!*
Entrant #52: Coco Bandicoot (Crash Bandicoot)
As the buzzer began to blare out all across the stadium, the song "Runaway" by Bon Jovi began to play full-blast as a short anthropomorphic bandicoot with a blonde ponytail dressed in a white shirt, blue overalls, pink sneakers came out through the curtain, running down the aisle in full-speed while being greeted by a big ovation from this entire San Diego crowd that was very excited to see her compete.
"Whoa, look at that little squirt go!" The King said, pointing to the next entrant.
"That little squirt of course King can be referring to is Coco Bandicoot from the Crash Bandicoot series, and she's the 52nd entrant entering this Rumble match!" JR exclaimed, doing the introduction himself.
"And not to mention she's also Crash's sister!" Cole exclaimed as well, "So we'll see how well she'll do here in this Rumble!"
Once she took in a last-second selfie thanks to her personal phone at ringside, Coco put her phone away in her overalls pocket and entered the ring, where she just saw Luigi punch right away at Soma Cruz in the ropes.
As Luigi winded up his arm for a very big windup punch, Coco decided to surprise Luigi by dropkicking the plumber right in the back of his head, forcing him to stumble near the vampire-slayer. Soma responded by ducking down and launching Luigi up in the air with a back body drop, only for Luigi to hang onto the ropes in time and settle on the apron much to his safety.
"My goodness, that was close!" The King yelped in relief.
"Luigi's safe for the moment!" JR exclaimed.
However, it would not be for long.
Several seconds after Luigi felt safe on the apron, Soma and Coco immediately shut the green plumber with a double dropkick that knocked Luigi off the apron and onto the floor, eliminating him right away from the Rumble match completely.
"Yeah, it looks like Luigi ain't so safe anymore, JR!" Tazz said, shaking his head to the Oklahoman.
"No he's not, Tazz. He's done for the night!" JR shook his head back.
"No kidding, he didn't do that much." The King replied, "All he did was faceplant himself."
28th Elimination: Luigi; Eliminated by: Coco Bandicoot and Soma Cruz; Duration: 8:10
Meanwhile, as Luigi exited out of ringside feeling a little disappointed and sad, Delsin Rowe was finally getting the better out of Iori Yagami as he kicked the red-haired psycho in the gut with a low superkick, all before heading up the middle rope trying to set up something big.
"Whoa, what does Delsin have up in his sleeve?" Cole asked.
With a deep breath, Delsin leaped off the middle rope and attempted a Panama Sunrise, only for Iori to stand still and catch Delsin in the air before dropping the mysterious hipster with a big Alabama Slam!
"Uh-oh!" Tazz yelped.
"That was a painful mistake for Delsin!" JR shook his head in regret.
"How on earth did Iori manage to counter that Panama Sunrise?" The King curiously asked.
Cole then responded with a shrug, "Don't know, but whatever Iori is, he sure ain't human!"
Tazz nodded in agreement, "I think you may be right, Cole!"
The Alabama Slam that Delsin suffered was more than enough to incapacitate him, which left Iori to capitalize on this condition by clotheslining Delsin over the top rope and onto the outside floor, eliminating him from the Rumble. The fans, safe to say it, didn't like that elimination one bit as they focused their hatred all across Iori right now.
"And Delsin has been eliminated!" Cole exclaimed.
"Damn, that's another one gone off the list!" Tazz groaned in response.
"And safe to say, this crowd's not liking every single second of it!" JR shook his head.
29th Elimination: Delsin Rowe; Eliminated by: Iori Yagami; Duration: 19:28
After Delsin took his exit thereafter, Sonic The Hedgehog was finally getting the upperhand in the match by picking Johnny Cage up on the lower right turnbuckle, looking to do a big move off the top rope.
"Whoa, Sonic and Cage looking to go higher ground there." The King replied.
"Definitely not a good place for either of them, truth be told!" JR said, shaking his head.
Sonic managed to attempt a top rope hurricanrana when all of a sudden, Cage hung on and leaned back forcing the blue speedster to hang upside down. But to make matters worse for Sonic though, Samus came running in and delivered a high-level superkick to the hedgehog while he was still upside down in the process.
"Good night!" Tazz shouted.
"Samus with that big superkick right to Sonic!" JR exclaimed.
That superkick knocked Sonic out pretty good as it left Cage to muscle him up into a middle rope powerbomb position. With Sonic on his shoulders, the actor leapt off the middle rope and sent the furry blue hero from Mobius all the way down!
"Oh my god!" Cole said, gasping in awe.
"I agree Cole, he's not gonna be running much after that fall!" Tazz shook his head to Cole.
"Heck, I think he may never run at all." The King chuckled, "Sonic's so flat, you can fit him right into a sandwich!"
As Sonic was left to lick his wounds from that painful powerbomb, Sonya was getting herself on a roll by whipping Joker right to the upper left turnbuckle before decking the mysterious teenager with a running Shining Wizard.
"Sonya with the Shining Wizard!" Cole shouted.
Tazz then shook his head yet again before pointing out, "I don't think she's done yet, Cole!"
Sonya was just getting herself started with Joker. She then hung onto his head and proceeded to drill his head with a running bulldog, but not without clotheslining Christie Monteiro in the process too!
"Whoa, two for the price of one!" J.R. replied.
"I'm guessing that was a bad mistake for Christie to step in Sonya's way!" The King replied as well.
Meanwhile, as both Joker and Christie were reeling from that move, the crowd all stood up once again and took their focus from the ring to the stage, where the Rumble clock lit up for the next entrant to appear.
"Anyway, we're gonna see who number 53 is in this Rumble match." Tazz said, looking to the curtain yet again.
10… 9… 8… 7… 6… 5… 4… 3… 2… 1… *BZZT!*
Entrant #53: Tails (Sonic The Hedgehog)
As the buzzer rang out for another umpteenth time, the song "Believe In Myself" from Sonic Adventure began to play out around Qualcomm Stadium as an orange fox with two tails and red shoes began to fly through the curtain, obviously using his two tails as helicopter-like propellers to fly down the aisle much to big cheers from the San Diego crowd.
"No way, look at that little guy fly!" The King smirked.
"That little guy you're referring to is Sonic The Hedgehog's trusty partner, Miles Prower, better known to everyone as Tails!" Cole said to the King, "And this just came in, it seems that Tails is actually the replacement for Pinstripe Potoroo!"
The King then shrieked out in shock, "What?! You mean to tell me Pinstripe got replaced with this squirt?!"
"Don't take it up with me, King." Cole shook his head defensively, "I mean, it was all Kenny Omega's idea!"
Tails managed to land safely inside the ring before he looked all around to find where his partner was. He then looked to the left to see Sonic being lifted upside down, looking to get piledrived by Corvo Attano.
The two-tailed fox wouldn't have any of it though as he came running towards Corvo, knocking him out with a running enzugiri much to the delight of this capacity crowd.
"And Tails comes to the rescue!" JR exclaimed.
"You had to expect that was the first thing he'd do once he entered!" Tazz nodded to JR.
Tails used this time to wake Sonic right up, which he did as he managed to pick the hedgehog right up on his own two feet and dust him right off.
"Hey, you all right, Sonic?" Tails said to his furry blue friend.
"A little hurt, but I'm okay." Sonic nodded to Tails before he pointed right at Corvo, "Look out!"
The two immediately looked at Corvo, who rushed right at them with a double clothesline.
But both Sonic and Tails put their smarts to good use by ducking down and hitting Corco with a double superkick right to the ribs. The hit brought him down to his knees, which left the door wide open for both Sonic and Tails to run in and deliver a double running enzugiri to Corvo, knocking him the hell out!
"Double enzugiri, Cole!" Tazz quickly pointed out.
"Sonic and Tails with a nice double-team maneuver!" JR exclaimed.
"Definitely showing a lot of good teamwork here!" Cole exclaimed as well.
The King rolled his eyes before replying, "I bet it won't even last long between them. After all, it's every man, woman and creature for themselves."
"That may be King, but Sonic and Tails happen to be longtime friends and teammates." JR replied, "So don't always assume every partner and friend will turn on each other."
As both Tails and Sonic looked around for more people to fight, Tomba was doing his best trying to catch Guile off guard by surprising Guile with a running body press. But the momentum soon turned around in Guile's favor as the colonel latched onto the wildman and turned his body around, which left Tomba to be carried around in Guile's shoulders as the family man got right back up on his feet.
"Uh-oh, Guile got the best of him!" The King replied.
"Look at the incredible strength from Guile himself!" JR nodded with amazement.
With Tomba being carried onto his shoulders in a backbreaker formation, Guile then used his strength to lift Tomba with a military press position, therefore dazzling the crowd on their feet.
"Tomba's in a heap of trouble!" Tazz gulped nervously.
"He's got him like King Kong's got a woman in his hand!" The King smirked.
Guile proceeded to launch him over the top ropes and onto the floor, but he had another idea up his sleeve.
He then used Tomba to bench press him up and down like he was lifting a weight above his shoulders, Ultimate Warrior-style! This brought the rest of the fans on their feet, counting down every rep Guile was doing to Tomba with each single lift.
"Look at him go, guys!" Tazz pointed out again.
"Guile's looking to do his own public exercise here in this match!" JR replied while nodding.
"I'm confused, guys. How many times is he lifting him up?" The King said, asking his broadcast partners.
Cole then replied with a shrug, "I guess he's probably gonna go to 15!"
After he bench pressed Tomba around fifteen times, he decided to end the pig-hunter's run right away as Guile chuckled Tomba over the top rope and onto the floor, eliminating him with a big applause!
"So long, Tomba!" Tazz said, waving goodbye.
"And Guile made sure he sent him packing!" JR nodded once again.
30th Elimination: Tomba; Eliminated by: Guile; Duration: 16:31
While Tomba was making his way out of ringside painfully, Doomguy took control of this contest, hitting Zero with a gut kick before attempting to nail a vertical suplex. But as soon as he lifted him up however, Zero managed to counter by flipping over him and latching him from behind, trying to attempt a German Suplex to no avail.
"Well, that definitely won't do him good!" The King said, shaking his head altogether.
"Doomguy has too much heart to be lifted like that." JR shook his head as well.
Zero attempted to lift him up again, but all the maverick hunter got was a big elbow right to the face. The attack blinded Zero for a good while before he turned around to his face driven right to the mat, thanks to a leaping reverse STO from Doomguy.
"Good night, Zero!" Tazz exclaimed.
"I think Doomguy did just that, Tazz!" Cole replied to Tazz.
Doomguy definitely took the time he had to talk trash right down to Zero, which proved to be a mistake since it accidentally let his guard down.
He knew it was a mistake once he turned around to eat a top rope double dropkick by both Sonic and Tails!
"Double dropkick off the top!" JR shouted.
"I must admit, Sonic and Tails are giving everyone a run for their money, JR!" The King chuckled to JR, "Get it, because Sonic's a blue hedgehog that runs fast?"
"Ah, I hear you loud and clear, King." JR nodded out of pure unamusement.
Meanwhile, as Doomguy was busy trying to shake the nerves out of that attack he suffered, the crowd all looked to the stage yet again and saw the countdown clock light up once more, which brought out the next entrant to enter the Royal Rumble match.
"As much as I love to roll my eyes from King's jokes, we got another entrant coming in!" Cole said as he pointed to the curtain.
10… 9… 8… 7… 6… 5… 4… 3… 2… 1… *BZZT!*
Entrant #54: Cammy White (Street Fighter)
After the buzzer sounded off in unison, the crowd was enchanted by the Blue Monday remix of the song "Can't Get You Outta My Head" by Kylie Minogue playing on the soundsystem as a muscular blonde haired babe with long twin ponytails, red beret, green one piece (skintight), brown boots and long tattooed legs came out through the curtain, hearing the tremendous pop that was given to her by the ecstatic fans here in San Diego.
"Yes, more puppies!" The King squealed happily, "I don't know how the Rumble can get any better than this!"
"It definitely did now that Cammy White from the Street Fighter series is in the match!" Cole exclaimed, nodding alongside J.R.
"I wonder what kind of crazy stuff she'll get into?" asked Tazz.
After taking off that red cape that was covering all around her, Cammy made a mad dash down the aisle and got in the ring right away, surprising Trish with two huge roundkicks!
"Look at her go!" The King said very excitingly.
She wasn't quite done yet though as Cammy then spun around and took Trish down with a big Sling Blade, all before rolling back up and hitting the leggy demon hunter with a low dropkick straight to the head.
"Cammy unleashing some big offense here in this match!" JR shouted.
Tazz then replied with a shrug, "I don't know anyone else that can stop her!"
D-Va tried her best to stop her with a dropkick, but Cammy managed to side-step at the last second, forcing the colorful soldier to miss. The brunette soon got up only for Cammy to catch her with a quick leg sweep before drilling her with a big standing moonsault!
"Once again, Cammy is on fire!" The King exclaimed.
"She's definitely heating up this Rumble, King!" Cole nodded to the King.
As Cammy kept her furious hot streak going on though, the camera shifted right over to Dorothea, who had TJ Combo trapped with a huge foot choke at the upper right corner.
"Dorothea definitely putting those legs of hers to good use." Tazz pointed out.
The King then asked his partners, "I've always wondered if she's giving Stacy Keibler a run for her money?"
"Legs-wise, King, I think she already is!" JR nodded, answering King's question right away.
However, this caught the interest of Johnny Cage, who wolf-whistled right at her after he saw that the foot choke she was giving Combo exposed a little bit of her thong without Dorothea knowing. But she definitely heard him right away once Dorothea finally let go of Combo and look at Johnny Cage with a raised eyebrow and "WTF" expression on her face.
"Um, may I help you?" Dorothea asked Cage, who chuckled his good ol' naughty heart off.
The actor pulled off his charm right away by saying to her, "Did anyone ever tell you that you got the finest softest legs I've ever laid my eyes on? Now, don't say that because we all know you definitely do."
"Well, Cage ain't lying!" The King smirked, winking at his broadcast partners.
With another smirk laying around his lips though, Cage said to Dorothea with a sly grin, "But let's cut right to the chase. Have you ever wanted to kiss a man who's brought home consecutive movie awards for the Best Kiss category? C'mon, you know you want to."
Dorothea suddenly gave it such thought and smirked back, "Oh, you wanna kiss from me, don't you? Well then, close your eyes."
"Oooooh, you want to surprise me? Well, alright then..." Cage smirked again before he closed his eyes and puckered his lips, "Pucker up, legs."
Much to Cage's surprise, Dorothea didn't plant a kiss on Cage's lips.
Instead, what was planted on Cage's lips was Byleth's boot, knocking out the actor with a Discus Big Boot much to the laughter of everyone watching at ringside!
"Well, there's his kiss!" Tazz chuckled.
"Oh come on, that wasn't right!" The King groaned, "That's his kisser he just knocked out!"
"I'm not lying, but he definitely got what came to him!" Cole replied to The King.
The brutal hit Cage took forced the actor to drag himself to the lower right corner where he struggled to recover. It proved to be a bad idea for Cage anyway once he saw Byleth go down on all fours.
For some reason why he did, Cage began to realize why Byleth was in this position in the first place. It was until he looked up and saw Dorothea hop on Byleth's spine and launch towards him, hitting a perfect Poetry In Motion leg lariat!
"Oh, there it is, Poetry In Motion!" JR exclaimed a bit excitingly.
The impact of that Poetry In Motion made Cage stumble all around, literally bumping into his ex-wife Sonya Blade from behind. The Special Forces general yelped a little bit in surprise before she shoved Cage off of her and decided to snap at him.
"Argh, what the hell are you doing, Cage?" Sonya said to Cage out of irritation.
The actor backed away from Sonya a bit before explaining to himself, "I'm sorry, I didn't want to fall so I needed something to break my fall! You understand, don't you?"
Sonya then grabbed his ex-husband by the collar and whispered to him directly, "I do understand. I understand that if you even of stepping in my way again, I'll bomb your ass out of this Rumble faster than your shitty movies do!"
Cage nodded in unison before saying, "Right, got it, I won't step in your business once again, I pro-"
However, he couldn't finish that sentence though as Coco Bandicoot came out flying out of nowhere and dropkicked Cage right in the back, which forced him to fall on top of Sonya, bringing out quite an uncompromised position between the two to a couple of laughs from the crowd.
"Oh no!" The King yelped in fear.
"Sonya's definitely not gonna like this!" JR shook his head, fearing the worst for Cage's well-being.
Tazz somehow let out a chuckle as he said, "Is this how they made Cassie Cage?"
"I literally don't know how to respond to that one, Tazz." Cole shook his head, regretting Tazz's statement.
After he shook himself off, Cage suddenly looked down to Sonya, who was right now seething in anger of what Cage had done despite the fact it was an accident.
The actor tried his best to apologize, but it was too late. The response Johnny got from Sonya was a kick right between the legs, forcing Cage off of his ex-wife in total pain!
"Oh my gawd!" JR yelped.
"Damn it, not little Cage too!" The King yelped in fear as well.
"I'm afraid it's he who got nut-busted this time, King!" Tazz chuckled once more.
As Cage was struggling hard to breathe from that low-blow though, the entire crowd inside Qualcomm Stadium all stood up out of their seats once again and looked toward the stage, which right now had lit the Rumble clock right back up to it's next entrant.
"We are moments away from seeing who's number 55 in this match!" JR exclaimed before saying, "Who will it be?"
10… 9… 8… 7… 6… 5… 4… 3… 2… 1… *BZZT!*
Once the buzzer blared out for another umpteenth time, the lights around the stadium dimmed bright orange as a line of fire began to light up the stage followed to the tune of Avenged Sevenfold's "Hail To The King". The crowd felt themselves pop up out of their seats in anticipation of who this next entrant could already be.
"Whoa, who on earth could be coming out?" The King asked himself.
"No clue, but I bet it seems like a very serious threat." JR shrugged.
After the hook of that song picked up, a man dressed in white/black jeans (with fire patterns emblazoned), red shoes and big red gloves emerged from both the curtain and flames came out to a stellar ovation from the entire crowd, who were busy chanting the next entrant's name. Of course, it was clear from his Tekken 5 appearance that everyone knew who this next man was…
Entrant #55: Jin Kazama (Tekken)
"Ladies and gentleman, business is about to pick up!" JR shouted incoherently.
"Awwww yeah, JR!" Tazz grinned, "We're getting to the good stuff!"
"And no doubt it's in the form of Jin Kazama from the Tekken series coming in at #55!" Cole nodded.
"For those who may be familiar with the franchise, Jin is the son of both Kazuya Mishima and Jun Kazama." JR explained to everyone watching at home, "And you can best be sure that he'll be unstoppable once he hits the ring!"
As he was walking down the aisle with patience, Jin looked up to see the one man who was staring him down with venom and hate flowing through his veins: Iori Yagami. The rest of the fans and commentators watching this showdown all felt the tension flow through them between the two men. They were quite anticipating a big brutal showdown between the two.
"Check this out, Cole!" Tazz pointed out very quickly.
"We have a standoff going on here!" Cole pointed out as well.
"I may need somewhere to take cover, because this roof is about to blow!" The King said before chuckling, "Oh who am I kidding, we don't have a roof to begin with!"
It took around a full 10 seconds before Jin finally rushed down the aisle and got inside the ring, forcing out a round of fist shots between Jin and Iori, much to the ecstatic delight of the San Diego crowd. It was so loud that the entire stadium rumbled in response to the battle between Jin and Iori, who continued to stiff each other's faces with their fists.
"This has gone wild, guys!" Tazz shouted loudly through his headset.
"It's two men with different types of blood, the demon blood and Orochi blood!" Cole nodded, "And by the end of the day, one of them will draw first blood!"
"Well, knowing the history between Iori and blood itself, I only hope that doesn't happen!" JR shook his head, obviously referring to Iori's Orochi form.
The fistfight went on for a good eight seconds before Jin dominated the fight, grounding Iori right by the ropes. However, instead of eliminating him though, Jin ended up whipping Iori to the other side of the ropes only for Iori to counterwhip Jin, sending him running instead. Iori attempted to knock Jin out with a clothesline, but the son of Kazuya Mishima managed to duck down in response. The red-haired maniac tried to attempt a big bicycle kick, but alas, Jin managed to duck down as well. As Iori turned right around though, Jin blasted Iori with a running wheel kick that sent Iori tumbling through the ropes and onto the floor, due to the impact he took!
"Wow, what a shot!" The King said, nearly falling out of his seat.
"That hit just threw him out of the frickin' ring!" Tazz exclaimed.
"Yes it did, but it was only through the ropes and not over!" JR exclaimed as well, "Which means Iori was not eliminated from the match!"
Jin, of course, was not done with Iori just yet.
That was when he slid himself through the ropes and got on the apron, waiting for Iori to get back up. When he did, Jin dashed towards the apron and leapt off, blasting Iori in the face with a leaping forearm!
"Forearm from the apron!" Cole shouted.
"That was pretty frickin' smart for Jin to do that!" Tazz nodded to Cole, "He knows his instincts very well!"
As both Jin and Iori continued their fistfight at ringside, D-Va was busy taking care of Christie with a big kick right to the ribs, all before she got her set up into a powerbomb position.
"Whoa, is a powerbomb on her mind?" asked The King.
D-Va then lifted Christie right up, but instead of looking for a usual powerbomb through, she was looking for Seth Rollins-like buckle bomb in the corner.
Christie had other plans for D-Va though as he used her legs to flip D-Va toward the turnpad, knocking her out with a hurricanrana!
"Oh, that just took her out for a doozy!" Tazz exclaimed.
"Excellent counter for Miss Monteiro!" JR nodded in return.
However, Christie was far from done with her.
Soon as she saw D-Va get right back up on her feet, Christie ran through the ropes and back again, nailing D-Va with a big Axe Kick!
"Oh my!" Cole gulped in amazement.
"Christie just dropped a huge axe on her!" Tazz smirked.
JR then nodded as he said, "And no doubt that cut her down to size!"
D-Va wasn't the only contestant that was in trouble so far.
Setsuka was having trouble of her own as she was getting bodyslammed by Cloud Strife on the mat. He then decided to do some top-rope damage as Cloud managed to climb up the turnbuckle, looking to hit Setsuka with a moonsault of his own.
"Cloud's got her right by the drop zone!" Cole quickly pointed out.
"I definitely don't see this getting good for Setsuka at all!" The King said, shaking his head all over.
Before Cloud could hit the moonsault though, Joker had decided to intervene at the last second, hitting Cloud right in the back and setting him down at the corner. That wasn't it though as Joker began to climb up to the top rope with Cloud still grounded on the top.
"Whoa, what on earth is Joker doing?" Tazz replied, gasping a little.
"No clue, Tazz!" Cole shrugged, "But it's definitely gonna be a long way down."
After taking one deep breath, Joker hopped on Cloud's shoulders, flipping him over with a reverse hurricanrana that sent Cloud all the way down and crashing down on Setsuka with a moonsault. The crowd immediately saw this happen right between their very eyes and popped huge for that incredible spot, resulting in another "Holy Shit" chant.
"MY GAWD!" JR said, shrieking in pure horror.
"I've never seen anything like that!" Tazz exclaimed, obviously amazed by what Joker had done.
"Joker just gave Cloud a Poison-Rana, and then somehow flipped him over all the way down for Cloud to hit a moonsault!" The King smirked in amazement, "This Rumble is seriously out of control!"
"I think it's looking to become just that, King!" Cole nodded, agreeing with King on that statement.
It didn't take too long for the crowd's ovation to die down though as they soon got back up out of their chair and looked toward the titantron, where the Rumble clock lit right back up to reveal its next entrant.
"It looks like we're gonna be treated to our next entrant!" JR exclaimed as he looked towards the curtain.
10… 9… 8… 7… 6… 5… 4… 3… 2… 1… *BZZT!*
Entrant #56: Link (The Legend of Zelda)
Once the buzzer was finished blaring out, the fans were all treated to a familiar tune that was identified as the theme song to the hit classic, The Legend of Zelda. That was soon followed by a man dressed in a green-clad dress shirt, white leggings, brown boots and green cap coming out through the curtain riding on a trusty steed. The pop he was got was amazing at best, followed by chants of "Link" all around a gigantic proportion of Qualcomm Stadium.
"Looks like someone's itchin' for a fight, Cole!" Tazz smirked wide away.
"And no doubt this next contestant's got himself prepared!" Cole nodded, "Here comes Link from the popular Legend of Zelda franchise at #56!"
"I don't think Link's coming alone though," The King shook his head before pointing to the horse Link was riding on, "Look at the horse he's riding in on!"
"What can I say, these characters know how to make an entrance!" JR shrugged in response.
Link immediately rode he and his horse way down the aisle, even going so far to do a victory lap around the whole four corners of the ring before he stopped at ringside just to get right off to a stop.
"Ok, I'm hoping that horse of his doesn't take a dump next to us." Tazz gulped.
After he parked his horse at ringside, Link finally hit the ring and started picking up steam right away by catching Corvo Attano with a big four-hit haymaker combo before decking him down to the floor with a big discus clothesline!
"Whoa, that flipped him over!" JR gasped out of his seat.
"Just like a pancake, JR!" The King nodded with a smirk.
Link wasn't over with Corvo just yet though, as he saw the mysterious hooded individual down on his knees. This was a perfect opportunity for Link to grab Corvo right by the neck and sent his head driven down with a Miz-like DDT!
"And Link drops him with a big DDT!" Cole exclaimed.
"That'll definitely keep him occupied for the time being!" Tazz nodded in response.
Meanwhile, at another part of the ring, the camera got a good shot at Guile as he was stiffing up Vault Dweller with hard chops to the chest. He then proceeded to whip Vault Dweller to the corner before the soldier managed to counterwhip in return, sending Guile running to the opposite corner instead. Guile managed to rebound nicely as he leapt to the middle rope and flew back in the air, only for Lone Wanderer to catch him by surprise with a mid-air spear. The San Diego crowd all watched this in awe and popped big for the spot itself, leaving the commentators more stunned again.
"Oh, gosh!" JR yelped a little.
"Guile may be torn in frickin' half!" Tazz exclaimed.
The impact Guile took from that hit was big enough for him to become incapacitated.
That opened the door wide for both Lone Wanderer and Vault Dweller to grab him right by his green tanktop and throw him over the top rope and onto the floor, eliminating him to a bit of a mixed reaction from the crowd.
"And the family man is gone!" Cole shouted out.
"Damn, and I'd thought he'd go all the way!" Tazz groaned.
The King nodded before saying, "Yeah, and he was quite the favorite too!"
31st Elimination: Guile; Eliminated by: Vault Dweller and Lone Wanderer; Duration: 20:28
After Guile left ringside to a standing ovation for his efforts, Samus was having trouble getting momentum back in the match as she found herself getting set up at the lower left turnbuckle, thanks to both Sonic and Tails.
"Uh-oh, what do they have planned?" The King asked JR.
"Don't know, King, but I know it's not gonna look good for Samus!" JR said, shaking his head at the King.
The hedgehog and two-tailed fox all managed to put her arms over their necks and lift her up for a double top rope back suplex, only for Samus to hook her legs around the turnpost, making them unable to lift her right up.
"She's hanging on nicely, guys." Tazz replied.
"I don't blame Samus at the slightest," The King shook his head, "She definitely wasn't gonna take the long way down!"
And Samus made sure she didn't have to.
The two creatures attempted to lift her up again, only for the blonde-haired bounty hunter in blue to hit both of them with her elbow, knocking Sonic and Tails all the way down in the process.
"The attempt fails!" JR exclaimed.
Tazz then pointed out, "Yeah, and Samus is still attached to the top!"
It definitely wasn't for long though as Samus managed to get herself comfortable while waiting for both Sonic and Tails get back up their feet.
When they did however, Samus decided to make the crowd pop up to their feet by nailing both the blue speedster and two-tailed fox with a double top rope moonsault getting two-for-one in the process!
"No way!" shrieked The King.
"Samus takes down both Sonic and Tails with a single moonsault!" Cole shouted in a pure frenzy.
Tazz then shook his head and smirked, "She's definitely not playing for keeps!"
She couldn't get a chance to celebrate her counter though as Link came right out of nowhere and caught Samus with a jumping neckbreaker from behind, dropping her right into the mat!
"Link's getting the last laugh out of that situation!" JR exclaimed.
"No doubt he dropped her good, JR!" The King nodded, agreeing with JR for the minute.
As Samus found herself clutching onto her neck in pain, the crowd instantly got up to their feet once more and looked towards the Rumble clock, which lit up the titantron yet again to reveal the next entrant that was about to enter that curtain.
"Only ten seconds until the 57th entrant comes out and enters this Royal Rumble match!" Cole said, reminding us yet again.
10… 9… 8… 7… 6… 5… 4… 3… 2… 1… *BZZT!*
Entrant #57: Alyx Vance (Half-Life)
Right as the buzzer sounded all throughout Qualcomm Stadium, the song "Ready Or Not" by The Fugees began to play out in full-blast as a tan-skinned woman with attractive short hair, gray shirt, brown jacket, leather gloves, denim jeans, black shoes and bland brown headband came through the curtain and ran down the aisle to another tremendous ovation from the fans.
"We got another good set of puppies coming down there, Cole!" The King said very excitingly, grinning like the dirty old man he was.
"Settle yourself down, King." Cole chuckled a bit, "We got Alyx Vance from the Half-Life series coming in at #57!"
"Let's see what she's learned from Gordon Freeman himself!" Tazz said in anticipation.
Once she entered the ring though, she looked up to see Dorothea attempt to give her a big boot. It was no problem for Alyx though as she managed to grab it in time, forcing Dorothea to bounce around with her leg.
"Whoa, she almost got planted there!" The King gulped.
"Alyx saw it coming the second that boot came close to her face!" JR pointed out.
Alyx made Dorothea jump for another few seconds before blasting her right in the face with a big lariat!
"Oh my!" Cole yelped.
"She definitely ate that lariat for breakfast!" The King chuckled.
She wasn't done with her yet as Dorothea recovered very quickly, only to be given another clothesline by Alyx before she got taken down with a big running forward neckbreaker!
"And Dorothea goes down again!" JR exclaimed.
"Alyx no doubt has her number here in this Rumble match!" Tazz said, nodding his head off.
That clothesline was more than enough to incapacitate Dorothea, who Alyx got her up right on her feet and thrown over the top rope. Thankfully, Dorothea managed to keep her feet off the floor though as she kept herself on the apron.
"Well, that was close!" The King sighed in relief.
"Dorothea managed to save herself for the time being!" Cole replied in relief.
Alyx soon turned around and saw Dorothea still on the apron, which forced the resistance fighter to charge right after the mage of the Black Eagles. It was a mistake though as Dorothea managed to side-step and surprise Alyx with a stiff kick to the head.
"What a hard kick right to the cabeza!" Tazz said, smirking his ass off.
The kick managed to knock Alyx off for a big doozy, which gave Dorothea more time to recover at the ropes.
Of course it wouldn't be for long before Dorothea leapt off the apron ropes and attempted a big springboard clothesline, only for Alyx to move right out of the way forcing Dorothea to hit Zero instead!
"That definitely backfired!" The King exclaimed.
"Yep, Zero got blasted instead!" JR exclaimed as well.
Cole then shook his head before saying, "He hasn't been getting a break at all."
As Zero struggled to get his senses back, Vault Dweller did his best to give Byleth a powerslam in order to get the blue-haired professor over the top rope and onto the floor, only for Byleth to wiggle free and turn Vault Dweller around for a big Codebreaker. But it wasn't any ordinary Codebreaker though, since this move made Vault Dweller stumble over the ropes, yet managed to hang on to avoid elimination.
"What a Codebreaker!" Tazz shouted excitingly.
"Yeah, but it didn't eliminate him unfortunately." Cole shook his head, "He's still in the matchup!"
However, it turned out to be different though for Vault Dweller as he rested onto the apron with his back turned suddenly.
That position he was in forced Cammy White to sneak up from behind and do a handstand, just so she could wrap her strong legs all around Vault Dweller's neck, choking the life out of him while he struggled to fight back!
"No way," JR said in pure awe, "How on earth is she doing that?"
"Pure flexibility, JR!" Tazz said to the Hall-of-Famer, "That's what Cammy's got in her arsenal."
Cammy managed to lock in that unexpecting head-scissors for a good 15 seconds before she felt Vault Dweller's entire body limp, forcing her to let go of that hold and drop Vault Dweller to the floor, resulting in a big elimination!
"Vault Dweller is outta here!" Cole shouted.
"Heck, you can say he's fallen out of the Rumble!" The King smirked, making another Luan Loud-styled joke, "Get it?"
"Yeah, crystal clear, King." JR said as he rolled his eyes.
32nd Elimination: Vault Dweller; Eliminated by: Cammy White; Duration: 37:35
Meanwhile as Vault Dweller slowly made his way out of ringside though, the fight between Iori Yagami and Jin Kazama kept on reaching a fever pitch as Jin managed to catch Iori with a big fisherman's suplex!
"Jin with a stellar Fisherman Suplex!" Tazz exclaimed.
Cole then pointed out, "I think he's just getting started, Tazz!"
Jin was right. One fisherman's suplex was just the beginning.
The son of Kazuya Mishima managed to roll Iori back up again and nail yet another fisherman's suplex, bringing the total to two.
"And another one!" JR shouted.
"Jin's in a complete roll so far!" The King replied, feeling very excited to see Iori get punished in the match.
Jin tried to attempt a third Fisherman's Suplex, but Iori thought one step head by punching Jin in the ribs and then followed it up by raking his eyes, blinding Jin for the moment.
"Oh, rake across the face!" Tazz gulped.
Jin only managed to get some of his vision back before looking at Iori with much anger and rage built inside him.
So much so as he charged at Iori with a clothesline, only for the red-haired maniac to move out of the way and forcing Jin to deck Lone Wanderer instead, which sent the jumpsuited soldier over the top rope and onto the floor, eliminating him from the contest.
"Whoop, there he went!" JR exclaimed.
"Damn it, now Lone Wanderer's gone!" The King groaned a little, "All because that madman blinded Jin in the process!"
"Regardless, King, count it as an elimination for Jin!" Cole said to the King.
33rd Elimination: Lone Wanderer; Eliminated by: Jin Kazama; Duration: 12:50
While the Lone Wanderer attempted to leave ringside all by himself though, the crowd immediately took their focus out of the ring and onto the stage, as they saw the Rumble clock light up on the titantron once again to another new entrant ready to enter the match.
"As much as I love to complain with the King himself, we got another man coming down that aisle!" Tazz replied, "Who's it gonna be?"
10… 9… 8… 7… 6… 5… 4… 3… 2… 1… *BZZT!*
Entrant #58: Ryu Hayabusa (Ninja Gaiden/Dead or Alive)
As the buzzer blared out all across the stadium, the Ninja Gaiden theme song began to play while at the same time, the camera looked up on top of Qualcomm Stadium to see a mysterious ninja in grayish black standing on the edge of the stadium itself, captivating the rest of the fans and commentators in awe.
"What the-? Look at that!" The King pointed out with a shriek.
"He's standing up on the dadgum stadium!" JR shrieked out as well.
"And the "He" we're talking about at #58 is Ryu Hayabusa from both Ninja Gaiden and Dead or Alive!" Cole exclaimed.
Tazz then raised his eyebrow and asked, "How on earth is he gonna get down here? He's gotta be way up!"
"I oughta know Tazz since he's actually a ninja!" JR said to Tazz.
After he was done crossing his arms like the intimidating ninja he was, Hayabusa decided to leap off the stadium and land safely on the stage, all before running down in full breakneck speed.
He then got right inside the ring and began to throw out dropkicks to both Doomguy and Sonya Blade before catching D-Va with a fast hip toss, followed by a cartwheel and a low dropkick to the face.
"My goodness, he's going fast!" The King chuckled in amazement.
"He's definitely looking fresh as he is, King!" Cole nodded.
Soma Cruz tried his best to slow down Hayabusa's momentum with a quick full nelson from behind, but it would soon become useless though as only around 6 seconds of that submission hold, Hayabusa slipped through Soma's grasp and gave him a victory roll. But instead of pinning him though, the ninja surprised the vampire hunter with a standing double stomp to the chest!
"What an impressive counter by Hayabusa!" JR said, nodding as well.
"I think Soma may have regretted sneaking from behind." Tazz replied.
Meanwhile, as Hayabusa was still tearing up ass inside the ring, the camera cut to Johnny Cage, who was trying his best to dig inside the weapon-filled trash can in order to find a weapon.
He searched around for a good several seconds before he pulled out something round and small. It turned out the object he dug out of the trash can was a Pokeball.
"Wha… is that a PokeBall?!" The King snickered in laughter.
"What on earth is that gonna do?" Cole asked with a raised eyebrow, "He's not gonna catch anyone using that!"
"Hey, we've seen weirder stuff before, so anything can happen!" JR shrugged.
Much to Cage's fortunate luck though, the actor noticed someone tossing him Ash Ketchum's hat, which he grabbed and put on right away to resemble a PokeMon trainer.
After that was done, he looked to his right to see Cloud Strife attempting to give T.J. Combo a german suplex (he was failing at it of course since Combo was grabbing the ropes for leverage). He whistled over to Cloud, who turned around to see Cage smirking in a sly way.
"Hey, spiky-hair, I choose you!" Cage said as he threw the PokeBall at the ex-soldier.
But to Cage's unfortunate luck though, Cloud managed to side-step out of the way, forcing the PokeBall to bonk Combo right in the back of his head!
"Oh no!" The King chuckled a bit out of pure fear.
"That's not gonna be good!" Cole shook his head.
Tazz shook his head as well before chuckling, "Cage done did it now, guys!"
"I'll say, that didn't catch him at all!" J.R. replied.
That horrible botch Cage caused Combo to turn around and look at the actor with seething anger flowing through his face. Cage found himself gulping through his throat in fear as he saw the pissed-off boxer approach him with force. Cage tried his best to calm him down right away, despite the fact he had a good feeling what was coming next to him.
"Hey hey hey, I didn't mean to hit you there…" shuddered Cage, "I really meant to catch Cloud, I didn't mean to-"
Cage wouldn't finish that sentence though as Combo blasted the actor in the face so hard that it literally knocked the glasses off the face!
"K.O.!" Tazz shouted victoriously.
"Poor Cage!" The King whined, "He should've never done that!"
"It seems that Johnny Cage isn't as smart as you thought, King." JR replied.
Thankfully, Cage did manage to recover very quickly, although it wasn't saying much since he was dragging himself by his knees.
He looked around for something to latch onto and get himself back up on his feet, only to grab into something that felt very firm and felt very denim.
"Ugh, what the hell am I grabbing?!" Johnny said as he looked up.
He ended up sinking so low once his eyes began to look up at what he grabbed on, which just happened to be Coco Bandicoot's tush. She turned around and gasped in pure horror of what Cage was accidentally doing to her, which led her to become very pissed off at the actor herself.
Cage immediately let go of her and began to defend himself by saying, "I'm sorry, I literally did not mean to do that!"
"YOU CREEP!" Coco shouted in response, all before blasting Cage upside the head with a Buzzsaw Kick!
"Oh my gawd!" JR disgustingly groaned.
"Tell me Cage did not just do that!" Cole shivered in unison.
The King then nodded to Michael Cole and said, "Oh, yes he did, Cole! Did anyone tell Cage that he was feeling up a minor?!"
"We're totally gonna get fined for this…" Tazz said, facepalming himself.
As the camera continued to get a good shot at a knocked-out Cage for comedic effect, it soon shifted over to the part where Setsuka managed to dodge a punch from Link and trap his arm altogether, taking him down in order to lock in a big arm-trapped crossface! The longer Setsuka held in that locker, the more painful Link's entire arm was getting this close to dislocating on him!
"Setsuka with a nice counter right there!" JR pointed out.
"She definitely borrowed that from Johnny Gargano's playbook!" Tazz nodded.
"He originally calls that the Gargano Escape, but Setsuka is definitely excelling it here tonight!" Cole nodded as well.
"Even if it doesn't eliminate him that way, I don't think Setsuka is gonna care at all!" Tazz shook his head, "She wants to survive regardless!"
While Setsuka was still locking in that hold, the crowd all looked to the stage once more and saw the Rumble clock light up for the 57th time tonight, obviously indicating that another entrant was about to enter the match.
"I hope Link gets some help or some kind, because #59 may be of good use!" Cole exclaimed as he looked toward the curtain.
10… 9… 8… 7… 6… 5… 4… 3… 2… 1… *BZZT!*
Entrant #59: Marth (Fire Emblem)
As the buzzer sounded off yet again, the Fire Emblem theme began to play out with a full regal blast as a blue-haired man dressed in bluish armor, a blue cape, dark blue gauntlet gloves, black jeans and leather boots came out with his signature sword in hand, raising it high for the screaming San Diego crowd to a bunch of raucous cheers.
"Oh man, looks like the Fire Emblem bunch are gonna reign supreme here tonight!" Tazz smirked with anticipation.
"We saw Byleth, then we saw Dorothea and now we introduce ourselves to the entrant that started it all for the Fire Emblem franchise, Marth!" Cole exclaimed
"How many of these characters are we gonna see here?" The King raised his eyebrow, "There could be too many of them to start an alliance."
"You might be right about that, King!" JR nodded, "After all, this is the rumble that Kenny Omega himself thought of, so you'll never know who he'll invite to this event!
"If there's more Fire Emblem characters entering the rumble, I could totally see all them teaming up and possibly winning it all!" The King said, chucking very half-heartedly at that thought.
After showing off his awesome sword techniques for the fans to enjoy, Marth threw the sword away and ran down the aisle full-speed, finally getting in the ring only to evade an RKO at the last quick second by Corvo. He managed to push Corvo from behind, forcing Corvo to eat a superkick thanks to Byleth!
"Superkick city!" Tazz smirked out.
"I legit lost count on how many superkicks we've seen here tonight!" The King smirked as well.
It didn't take too long for both Marth and Byleth to engage in a very tense faceoff. This caught a whole lot of interest in the fans that were watching though as they stood up out of their seats to see what would happen between them. We're they gonna see a fight from the both of these two captains? Or were they looking to form an alliance?
The answer was clear right away once they saw Sonic and Tails try to surprise them with double superkicks. Both Byleth and Marth caught their foots in time, making Sonic and Tails hop for their life.
"I think Marth and Byleth made have stopped the number from growing!" JR exclaimed.
"Yeah, they definitely dodged a bullet right there!" Tazz nodded.
Once they began looking at one another with a single nod, both Byleth and Marth scooped up Sonic and Tails and flipped them over with twin double T-bone suplexs!
"That's gotta be one major T-bone, Cole!" King said as he was smirking to Cole.
"You're definitely right about that!" Cole nodded.
It was clear where their intentions now stood thanks to that scene.
And they showed it to everyone as both Byleth and Marth shook both their hands as a sign that an alliance was now formed in the Rumble. These fans all went wild as they did, being thrilled to see what the two men could do as a unit.
"Hey, I knew it!" The King exclaimed.
"I think you may be right, King!" JR nodded, "I got a good feeling they may be unstoppable!"
Iori Yagami tried his best to cut the alliance short by attempting to surprise both Byleth and Marth with a double lariat. But knowing the respectable captains they were though, Byleth and Marth managed to duck down before Byleth went down on all fours for some reason. Iori turned around to see why, only to look up to see Dorothea hop on Byleth's back and launch right at him, knocking Iori out with a big step-up Superman punch!
"What a knockout!" Tazz proudly smirked.
"Which one you talking about, that hit Dorothea just made to Iori or just Dorothea?" Cole smirked back.
Tazz then replied with a shrug, "Probably both at this point!"
Meanwhile, as the possible alliance between Marth, Byleth and Dorothea began to build up steam, Christie Monteiro found herself performing a handstand in front of Trish, who managed to grab Christie right by the legs only to get kicked in the head thanks to one of Christie's own right leg.
"What an interesting kick right there!" JR pointed out right away.
Trish attempted to charge after her, but only for Christie to surprise her right away with a hurricanrana, forcing the devil hunter to get clotheslined by the middle rope and held there. It was the same position that Rey Mysterio used on his opponents just to set up the 619, which Christie was looking forward to do right now with the crowd's approval.
"Whoa, I think Christie's looking to dial it up, guys!" Tazz replied to his partners.
"It may start to look like it, Tazz!" Cole nodded.
With Trish still grounded on the ropes, Christie managed to run over to the ropes and back again as she attempted to hit a 619 on her opponent. But Trish's instincts proved worthy as she managed to catch the capoeira beauty's feet at the last second.
"Guess you were wrong, Tazz!" JR replied, shaking his head to the ECW original.
"Well, called my bluff." Tazz blushed embarrassingly.
She didn't grab onto her feet for much longer though as Trish soon put away Christie Monteiro with a big Alley-Oop bomb!
"And Trish with a big counter!" Cole replied.
"Guess Christie regretted doing that." The King gulped.
As Christie continued to lay motionless around the mat, the crowd all gathered around to stand up and look towards the stage once again, looking up to the titantron where the Rumble clock started to tick down to the next entrant.
"I think we have another man waiting in the wings!" Tazz exclaimed, "Can't wait to see what the next entrant brings to the table!"
10… 9… 8… 7… 6… 5… 4… 3… 2… 1… *BZZT!*
Right as the buzzer sounded, the lights had dimmed once again only for a big blue light to shine all across the stage, followed by some snow falling right in the background. This scene ended up confusing The King so much that he needed to know what was going on.
"Um, is it snowing outside?" The King raised his eyebrow.
"That's strange, I didn't hear the weather talking about some sort of Winter Weather Advisory this morning." JR shook his head to the King.
Tazz then shrugged before saying to JR, "What can I say? Weather patterns change."
However, there was a big door opening around the floor to the stage, which was soon followed by cold air shooting across the stage itself. In the middle of things though, the crowd popped gigantically hard as a familiar ninja with a blue vest, a blue sash, familiar blue facemask and cold ice embers from his hands began to rise up from the floor to the tune of "Cold Metal" by Iggy Pop playing in the sound system. No doubt the entrant the ecstatic fans were seeing in their eyes right now proved to be...
Entrant #60: Sub-Zero (Mortal Kombat)
"Oh my!" Cole excitingly gasped.
"Things are about to take a cold turn here, ladies and gentleman!" Tazz said, warning everyone watching at home.
"And this man just brought down the entire temperature!" JR nodded.
"That man, no doubt, is Sub-Zero from the Mortal Kombat series at #60!" Cole exclaimed, "Definitely another big favorite to watch out for!"
Sub-Zero let out a cold deep breath before he jogged down the aisle, taking in a bit of his sweet time to make it the ring. When he did make it inside though, he looked up to see T.J. Combo attempted a hard left punch.
It didn't take too long for Sub-Zero to shield himself using his arms though before the Lin Kuei Grandmaster replied with a gut punch, stiff forearm and backhand in that order, stunning Combo a bit out of surprise.
"Sub-Zero got him very good!" Tazz shouted.
"I think Combo was quite surprised by that!" The King nodded.
Combo wasn't pleased with how Sub-Zero outsmarted him, so he attempted to go after him again.
But when he did though, Sub-Zero put his cryomance powers to good use by freezing the boxer's entire shoes, making him unable to move at all much to the delight of fans.
"Whoa, hold up, is that part of the rules?" The King asked his broadcast partners.
"Sub-Zero ain't killing anyone, is he?" JR shrugged to the King. "I think he knows better than that!"
"When does it say in the rules that you can freeze someone by their feet?" The King asked yet again.
"Why are you asking us?" Tazz shrugged to the King as well.
Combo attempted to move yet again but couldn't due to how hard the ice was getting to his boots.
That of course, led Sub-Zero to take advantage of this opportunity and rushed toward Combo, hitting the boxer with a big Claymore Kick!
"And Sub-Zero strikes with a big Claymore!" Cole shouted.
"You talk about a technical knockout, Cole, I think Combo should be used to that!" Tazz smirked to Cole.
The hit was more than enough to knock Combo out entirely, which Sub-Zero used to his advantage again by picking the boxer up on his feet and throwing him over the top rope and onto the floor, eliminating him from the matchup entirely!
"Now he's totally knocked out of the Rumble!" The King smirked once more.
"And that marks the first elimination for Sub-Zero in this match!" JR exclaimed.
34th Elimination: T.J. Combo; Eliminated by: Sub-Zero; Duration: 11:22
As Combo limped out of ringside, Jin tried his best to slow down Sub-Zero with a big roundhouse kick, only for Sub-Zero to grab his leg just in time. Jin attempted to hit an enzugiri just to surprise Sub-Zero, but the Grandmaster of the Lin Kuei ducked down in time, forcing Jin's face to hit the poor unlucky mat.
"Welp, nobody home!" Tazz shook his head.
Jin ended up getting back up from that mistake he made, only for Sub-Zero to come up from behind and hit a big Zig Zag neckbreaker, bringing him down again!
"There it is, Zig Zag!" Cole quickly pointed out.
"Definitely better than Dolph Ziggler's version, I'll tell you that, Cole!" Tazz nodded to Cole right away.
Meanwhile, as Sub-Zero started building up momentum on his side, Cloud managed to outsmart D-Va by tripping her by her legs and planting his foot right around her ribs. But yet, that wasn't over though as Cloud managed to grab onto her legs, planning something big for her.
"Whoa, what is Cloud looking to do?" The King raised his eyebrow.
"I think D-Va's looking to get a ride out of the Rumble!" JR exclaimed.
Using D-Va as a big catapult, Cloud leaned back down the mat and sent D-Va flying over the top ropes, only for the colorful jumpsuited soldier to hang onto the ropes for dear life.
"Uh-oh, D-Va's hanging on!" Cole exclaimed.
Tazz suddenly panicked before saying, "C'mon, stay alive, D-Va! Be like the Bee Gees and stay alive!"
"You definitely must have a weird taste in music, Tazz." The King said to the former ECW champ.
Thankfully for D-Va, she managed to skin the cat by flipping her body back to the ring, but all of a sudden, she felt Alyx Vance clutch onto her legs.
But Alyx wasn't looking to eliminate her just yet though. She then grabbed onto D-Va and muscled her up into an Electric Chair position, leaving the fans to stand up in awe.
"That's a way to bring her back in the ring!" Cole nodded.
"Yeah, but she's not gonna like the fall Alyx is gonna give her!" The King shook his head with a chuckle.
Alyx had other plans though as she then switched D-Va over from an Electric Chair position to a powerbomb position.
It would then prove to be a mistake as D-Va immediately wiggled free and flipped herself over, taking Alyx Vance to the mat with a vicious Sunset Flip Powerbomb counter!
"Whoa!" Tazz yelped out of his seat.
"Unbelievable counter by D-Va!" Cole exclaimed.
"She just escaped herself from harm's wrath for now!" The King nodded in pure relief.
It wasn't quite over for Alyx though as Zero also wanted to do damage himself to the resistance fighter.
And he did just that by going up the top rope, looking to hit a big top-rope maneuver onto a fallen Alyx.
"Zero's got Alyx right by the drop zone!" Tazz pointed out once more.
"Let's hope no one comes over and knocks Zero off those ropes!" JR said, fearing the worst for Zero.
But Zero had no problem at all as he leapt off the top rope and flipped his body over, nailing Alyx with a vicious Shooting Star Press!
"Shooting Star off the top!" Cole shouted.
"That'll make someone like Billy Kidman proud!" Tazz smirked with satisfaction.
As Alyx laid herself motionless in a painful fashion, the San Diego crowd all stood out of their seats once more and looked over to the stage, where the countdown appeared on the titantron and ticked down to the 61st entrant of the night.
"This is getting wild as it goes on, ladies and gentleman!" JR informed everyone again, "Who's looking to be our next entrant of this Rumble?"
