Trunks: "Eric Star... huff huff."

[ Eric circles the ring and slips in through a side where most people are down. He finds Seifer and goes to fling him over, but Seifer hangs on and slides back under, as Eric grabs Izzy and flings her over.... but she's on the apron and dante finds Eric... he goes for him but Eric ducks hit and hits the ropes, coming back in a cross body that connects, rolling both... they race up and Dante comes at Eric, who jumps and nails him in a Lou Thesz, and hammers away..... and Seifer rips him off Dante and sends him into the rope nearest Izzy... she pulls down the top, but he skids into a baseball slide and nails her legs, and she's hanging there, about to touch the floor and as Eric kicks to eliminate her, Seifer Drags him away and spins him, going for a snap piledriver, but Eric slips out of that and STO's Seifer.... he goes back to Izzy but she's already on the apron again and sliding in... she stands up and Eric goes after her but Seifer gives him a drop toe hold and he goes face first!!! He pushes up but by then Seif has his legs and pulls him in, to Seif's own body and spins him, picking him up and swinging him to the side and slamming him down like a pancake variation... Dante drives a knee into Eric's face, and rolls back up and goes for Izzy, but she kicks and hits an X Factor.... he goes down, and Seifer grabs her and tosses her on the top corner... He stands on the second rope and goes to lift her like a suplex, but toss her out... she blocks it... twice, and then shoves him down- he lands on his feet, but she missle dropkicks and hits him dead zero in the chest... He flies into a roll and she gets up, beeting Dante who she catches in a "Court Adjourned" and tosses him on his head and back... Eric comes up at her, kicks her, trips up her knee from behind and Eniguries into ther face, knocking her back. The buzzer sounds. ]

Joey: "JJ COOL J... amazing he's still here, with Dangerously in charge."

Trunks: "There were alot expected to be either fired or quit when the news was official, but surprisingly, most stuck with the place. I know I'm quiting, I can't stand that prick."

[ He slides in the ring, and he tears off his TV title and goes right at who he must consider a threat as he tries to blast Seif with the belt... Seifer ducks it but JJ keeps going and decides Izzy's as good as anyone, but she ducks it, and he goes into the corner... the belt drops to the floor, He turns but Izzy grabs him and monkey tosses him.. JJ regroups to his feet and tackles into Eric, who tries to put on the brakes but is knocked into the Corner, but he gutwrenches JJ and tosses him towards the center of the ring. He crashes, and Eric hits a front flip leg drop and comes up to his feet, leveled by Dante Cross.... he gives Izzy a shot to the face, and she goes back to the ropes... she hangs there, both arms over the top and Eric grabs Dante from behind... he hits an atomic drop, and he is forced over to a corner... JJ blasts Eric in the face and then goes for Izzy, tumbling her over and on to the apron... He reaches down to bring her up to shove her off, but then Eric Star dropkicks him from behind, and he sails over. JJ Cool J is eliminated. Izzy comes back in and as Eric stands up he's marred by Seifer, picked up for the "Knights of the Round(tm)", nd he executes the move near the ropes so Eric goes to the outside after his face crashes into the shoulder... he bounces off the ropes and down to the floor. Eric Star is eliminated. ]

Joey: "There are three people in that ring, and all three are favorites to win this match."

Trunks: "Too bad Seifer has the ace in the hole, Joey. He's got the boss in his pocket."

Joey: "How do you know that?"

Trunks: "I read the internet!"

[ All three seem to get another breath, as Dante goes for Seifer who gets an arm drag, Izzy goes for a headlock on Seifer, but he flifts her for a side suplex... he hits it but as he comes up he's nailed by a german suplex given by Dante... and as he comes up he's taken up in a snap suplex by Izzy... they all race up and as Izzy lists a leg for a sidekick, Seifer grabs it and actually swings her into Dante, who catches her and snaps her back on his knee... it's like an old tag team reforming, as Izzy is grabbed by her arms and her legs, and they sway her towards the ropes... one.... two... three! they toss her, but she doesn't clear the top and just goes through the second. The buzzer sounds. ]

Trunks: "Livewire.com... god, can't we get 30 real competitors, and stop using the jobbers?"

Joey: "I dunno."

[ Livewire hops over Izzy on the mat and heads in, but Seifer and Dante throw him out with ease. Livewire.com is eliminated. Dante leans over the ropes, and Seifer sees his chance, as hre flips him up and over. Dante Cross is elimina- wait, no! Seifer turned his back too fast, and Dante hangs on and comes back in... and he grabs teh chair and goes for Seifer... he turns and almost gets clocked with it, but moves at the very last possible milisecond, and hits the ropes and comes back with his own cross body into the chair, and both collide and roll away, holding their chests... They huff and puff, Dante moreso since he's been in since the beginning, But they come at each other with lunges and lock up as Dante tosses Seif over his hip and as Seif regains footing, Dante slides his feet into Seif's foot, knocking him back off balance and spins around for a bulldog, and gets his knee under Seif's head first. Seif bounce sup and tumbles to the canvas, and dante rips him up and sends him to the ropes, but Seif reverses it and tosses dante into the corner, shaking off a cob web and heading for Dante... Dante sends up both feet- but Seif ducks under them and grabs Dante under his small of the back and tears him out of the corner, and hangs him in a pendelem piledriver that crumples Dante. Had this been a normal match, this might have put him away right there, but Dante rolls, kicking his legs, and Seifer pulls him up and decides to take him out... Dante ducks under Seifer's push, shoving him into the ropes and blasting him in the spine with a hard punch, rocking Seifer and taking him in a wild belly to back suplex that folds Seif.... Seif rolls this time and the buzzer sounds. The crowd ERUPTS, the biggest pop of the night as JT Kash saunters down to the ring. ]

Trunks: "I can barely hear you, Joey..."

Joey: "JT KASH! JT KASH! He won last years! There's my pick theres my pick!"

[ Halfway down, he goes into a run and slides in, and Izzy's not far behind... They clasp hands and run down Dante, and then JT rolls into a rolling thunder type move as Izzy comes down with a leg... They rip him up and both go to throw dante out, but Dante backsteps and smashes thier heads together... They back step and Dante chops JT, kicks him and goes for a DDT, but Izzy rakes his back and runs forward as JT dumps Dante back over and she hits a 3D type move... Dante is down and JT rips him up and into the corner as Izzy slams shoulder and elbow first into him, and he come stumbling out, into a "Stigma Killer" wait, Dante shoves JT away and JT spins, but is speared down. He turns to Izzy, and she goes for a spinning heel; he catches it and she drops on her back, and she does a Dragon Roll and sends him through the second ropes... and as he stands JT snails him with an elbow and he shoots back to the guardrail. Dante Cross is elmin- ]

Joey: "He went through the ropes!"

Trunks: "Eh, he might as well call it a day!"

[ Maybe JT didn't realize. But he thinks Dante's gone, and turns to an onslaught by Seifer, who lifts him up and dumps him back face first in a one man 3D without the RKO half. Seif kepps ahold and rolls, so he's on top and gets to his knees and laces JT's legs together and goes for the "Immortal Deathlock(tm)... but JT tries to kick away... Izzy has the chair she swings but Sifer sees it coming and ducks... she stumbles from the force of it and dante rolls in, grabbing the chair, ripping it from her and smashing her in the face with a shove from it. She drops away ducking it and he misses, but she still gets a drop toe and he goes face first into the chair and is down again. She backs off, and sees JT... she sighs as he's an ally, but she kicks him hard in the gut, and gutwrenches him high enough to shove him over the top and barreling to the floor. She blows a kiss goodbye, and JT Kash is eliminated. The crowd boos, and Seifer comes up behid and dumps her... again he doesn't pay attention and he turns around... Dante is getting up, grabbing the chair but Seifer stomps it, and shakes his head. The buzzer sounds. ]

Trunks: "Rebeeeeeca Ranccccccid. Things ar elooking up for Seifer."

[ She slides in and as Izzy comes back in she's tackled, and blasted hit after hit, as Seifer brings up dante, and Rancid Izzy, they swing them both into each other, they hook arms and come back and clothesline Seifer and Rancid. dante shakes it all off, as Izzy Goes to pick up Seifer, and he gets her in a snap suplex, turns it and hits another.... Dante is taken by Rancid, whipped in held on for a short arm "Settin Fire(tm)"... but he grabs her for a gargoyle suplex and plants her down... he stumbles forward and into Seifer... who arm drags him and keeps ahold of the arm, ripping him up and back down into his knee, HHH like, bouncing him up and hitting a clothesline. WHen he doesn, he cranks his other knee so Dante will fall on it, and he does... Dante grimmaces, but then claps his hands on Seifer's ears, and Seifer backs away, dropping Dante to the canvas to recover. The buzzer goes off.... ]

Joey; "Who will it be???"

Trunks: "We got word that this was Cross' original number..."

Joey: "Oh."

[ Rancid goes to run over Dante to Izzy, but Dante shoots himself up and trips her wit his torso, and she falls like she hit a hurdle and tumbles forward. Izzy uses this to pull her up and swings her back into Dante, colliding them and as seh comes back hits a "Courts Adjourned"... and bags her. Rancid is no longer fresh, and as Izzy gets up, Seifer takes her and runs her to the ropes and whips her hard, into the corner, she bounces out of it from the force and as Seifer comes at her, she barely ducks, and he hits chest first into the buckle. She pulls his feet and flops him onto the canvas. She pulls his waist up to hers, him face down and then she grabs his hair and does a sit out reverse spinebuster, and he bounces off his nose and rolls... Izzy tries to stand him up and toss him out, but she's cut down by Rancid, who throws an axe, and even brings her around for a powerbomb- but Izzy back drops out of that... but Rancid doesn't let go... she brings her back in a sunset flip to get Izzy off her feet, holds her there and reaches for the chair, when she grabs it, she whips it back and arches her back to nail Izzy on the top of the head!!! ]

Joey; "HOLY GOD!"

[ Izzy goes limp and Rancid powers away from her and lunges at Dante- dante says screw that and picks her off with a standing jump spear, and the chair flies back behind him. Siefer grabs a hold of it, and sings it sword like, swiping at the back of Dante's knees. He hits and Dante goes down to them. and Seifer tosse sthe chair over his head, and then goes for a level-blockbuster buff style onto the chair- it connects and Dante shoots all the way back up to his feet, and tumbles off to the side. Seifer sits up, and Rancid picks up the chair. ]

Joey: "This is unlike any Rumble I've ever seen. I can't believe JT was thrown out. This sucks ass."

[ Rancid drops the chair, and picks up Izzy instead... she goes to throw her out, but Izzy ducks in front of her during the runand rolls Rancid in an arm drag over the top as the crowd goes wild... Rancid lands on the apron, and gains her bearings, but Izzy goes for a superkick that Rancid leans WAAAAY back to avoid... Izzy gets the chair and goes edge first into Rancid's midsection, and then goes to bash her on the back, but Seifer saves her- grabbing the chair... Izzy turns and Seifer goes to bash her, but Izzy jumps out of the way and Seifer stops himself before he comes close to hitting Rancid... but the reflex got the best of her and she jumped out of the way too, onto the floor! Rebecca Rancid is eliminated. The buzzer sounds. ]

Joey: "This is number 19... Damen Vinyard!"

Trunks: "Oh man, the heat of the moment got the best of Rancid..."

[ The king of the underground seems weary, after what happened to his comrades in arms, but he comes in and as Seifr recovers from the shock, damien goes for him, blasting away... dante sits back and lets it happen, as Izzy grabs him in a waist lock and ducks the elbows... she flops him over to the side to the ropes and hangs him over, and Seifer grabs his leg... although they're not getting anywhere.... and dante looks intent, staring Seifer down adn waiting for just the right second... has to shift just right or... or it can't happen but dante's sure once Seifer's gone, he's the only possible contender to win this thing. He slinks up... and stalks.... as he runs ful blast at Seifer, who hears the foot steps and ucks under, releasing damen, who elbows Izzy in the face to get away, but Seifer sends dante up- but Damen's in the wrong place and his body catches dante.. dante drops down and Seifer roundhouses Damen... Izzy drop kicks him, and he leans over more, but Seifer rips him off the ropes and to the opposite side and Izzy clotheslines him over. Damen Vinyard is eliminated. The buzzer sounds. ]

Joey: "Taylor Lynn..."

[ She hurries down and goes straight for Izzy with the standard irish whip... Izzy reverses it and Seifer cuts Taylor down. Dante comes behind Seifer with a waistlock, Seifer brings his arm back and gets dante in a headlock but Dante still is intent on dropping him on his head.... but he backs up and has Seifer's back on the top rope and ready to go over... and as Izzy goes to help, Lynn grabs her leg and stunts her down to one knee, and then climbs up and does a weird head scissor variation the brings Izzy down onto her front... Lynn keeps it on, cutting off oxygen on the Championess, weakening her. Dante is still trying to topple Seifer, who is trying to hold on... fast forward as the buzzer sounds. A chorus of boos as out comes... ]

Trunks: "Trey Trauma."

[ He comes down but halfway down the ramp, out comes the rest of R2K!!! They run down and without the people in the ring knowing, they barrel and and they rip up Lynn and Izzy and beat down on Seifer and dante, swho drops Seifer and it becomes a big war with the crowd getting involved... as Damen and Aftershock send out Lynn to the apron, and Gabriel shoves her off and the three go after Izzy and the others, Trey comes in the ring. Taylor Lynn is eliminated. ]

Joey; "This is a dirty thing to do!"

Trunks: "Well, Trey needs to be in the ring, have you forgotten Jerm is in this, and if he wins he could get W2K back?"

Joey: "Personally I thnk that was dumb of Dang- here he comes, speak of the devil."

[ NED walks out on stage, to a very mixed reaction, But behind him is good old fashioned San Antonio security. They go into the ring and chase off everyone but Trey and the W2Kers... and NED comes ringside. ]

Joey: "How nice of you to join us."

NED: "Well, i wanted to see first hand who my new Champion is going to be. I mean, it's not Mitchell, not Cross... it's gonna be someone new."

Trunks: "Seifer, do you think?"

NED: "Perhaps. I was actually banking on Eric Star, but that's why I'm flat broke."

[ Trey goes after Dante, tossing him over the top- and then Seifer, but both land on the apron on different sides of the ring, hoppng over the top and both colliding into Trey and ripping at him. Dante tosse shim into the corner adn Seifer collides into him... he stumbles out and gets slinked up for a suplex... but he puts on the brakes and reverses Seif into one of his own, and Seif lands back first onto the corner... Dante skips over Trey and to Seif, who has one leg hanging him up in the tree of Woe, and nails his side into Seif, effectively cutting out all the air. Trey grabs Dante by the head and swings him in for a piledriver, but Dante pushes out of it and lariats, Trey ducks it and goes for a sidekick, that Dante ducks and grabs Trey's standing leg, and pulls him up and slams him down in a pancake! Dante goes back to Seif, and lands a huge splash with his knees, and Seif crumples to the canvas. The buzzer goes off. ]

NED: "Haha, the jobber king himself, Felix Theodore Newman. If I had any picks, it'd be him."

Trunks: "You mean any picks other than Seifer, who you're obviously working with. I'm a smark, I know these things."

NED: "Yeah sure sport."

Joey: "FTN FTN FTN.... sounded good."

[ W2K's finest runs in and goes for Izzy, with a heartbunch that she side steps and grabs his arm, slinking him over and dumping him out without any effort at all. FTN is eliminated. ]

NED: "Okay, so I was wrong."

[ Izzy turns and Dante's coming at her.. He clotheslinesher and she's on the apron. ]

NED: I think she's spent more time on the apron and in the actual match."

Joey: "She's one of the original four. Her and dante have been in here for a very long time!"

NED: "Not for much longer."

[ Dante comes at her but she charges her shoulder in between the ropes, and he backs off... She jumps up and goes for "Simply Business"... and she catches him, reeling him over to the ropes and hurricanranna'ing him out onto the apron... Once she gathers herself, she shoves him off, and he hits the floor. Dante Cross is eliminated. ]
