This one will be voted on again.

Now let me actually talk a bit about who our very own might face.

1v1 Regular vs. Brock Lesnar is a legitimate shoot fighter and known for throwing people around a lot. As of late he became more known for doing, like, six suplexes and one F5 and then fuck-off into the sunset. But hey, it's Brock Lesnar.

1v1 Regular vs. Bailey is one of the so-called Four Horsewomen and partially responsible for the Women's Revolution in WWE. Her gimmick is she likes to smile, be wholesome and hug people.

3v3 Tornado Tag vs. Bullet Club All-Stars: The Bullet Club is one of the better known Factions in Wrestling right now. Its Founder and first leader was Prince Devitt, who became known as Finn Balor in WWE later on. He was succeeded in Leadership by AJ Styles who in turn abdicated to Kenny Omega when he left for WWE. Having these three in one team at one time is not likely to happen.

4v4 Elimination Tornado Tag vs. NJPW Great Four: In New Japan Pro Wrestling there are four major factions. First up the unaffiliated faces, for which Hiroshi Tanahashi functions as a representative. To oversimplify it, Tanahashi is NJPW's John Cena only he's universally beloved. Then there's Chaos, led by Kazuchika Okada who has multiple six star matches under his belt. Two of which he had with Kenny Omega, leader of the Bullet Club, another one of NJPW's factions. The Bullet Club, for the very most part, is composed of Gaijin i.e. foreigners to Japan. Finally, there's Los Ingobernables de Japon led by Tetsuya Naito. NJPW is very particular in its booking and the factions don't typically team up with one another.

*beep*

"Oh, hello? Did I reach IGgy's office? Oh, yes, yes, it's Dr. Ham talking. Can I talk to him? Oh, uh, it's about vacation days, I was going through our contract and- oh, alright, I'll hold."

*time passes*




*more time passes, until-*

"Yes, I'm still here! So can I- what? I get time off when he feels like it? That's uh... And there's another appointment already?? Who... Didn't I treat him recently? Though that day is kinda hazy... Alright, yes, yes, that was all. Thank you for your time."

*closes phone with a sigh*

I'M AWAKE!

...okay, how long was I out? ...HOW LONG!?

And I have another match in the PPV? And it's a tag team match? Alright, who am I teamed up with?



...well, he seems like a nice man. Let us bring death to our enemies!

Just because I'm a major Hollywood celebrity and the LP Superstar Champion doesn't mean I'm too good to fight opponents like A Tree. You'd certainly think 'oh wow, that's Chris Pine, there's no way he has time to wrestle A Tree!' but actually, I love wrestling so much I'll even wrestle him. Just like you loved me in Wonder Woman, you're gonna love my second successful title defense. And this cat? He's not gonna get stuck in that tree... he's gonna chop it down.

So, an all-mask brawl. I like it, it's appropriate. Although I gotta say, I especially like the taller guy's mask... seems familiar, somehow.
Now, what would be a good strategy...




I've got it! Ren can quote lines from RWBY out of context! He gets to feel like a teenager's idea of a badass, they'll be distracted from laughing too hard so I can sneak up and smash 'em. It'll be perfect!

I've got a few I can use. They include:

1."It's not about why. It's about knowing." a line I still don't understand honestly.

2."I want to be a normal girl *awkward pause* with normal knees"

3.*shudder* This is a quote from Taiyang, AKA THE WORST FATHER (FICTIONAL OR OTHERWISE)TO EVER EXIST: "Your Semblance is just you throwing a tantrum. Stop using it."

4."Time to claim the power that was never yours."

5. "Let's start this off...with a Yang. *Revolver Ocelot finger-guns accompanied by a wink that can't be seen because mask*"

Those are the ones I have at the top of my head.

Go,Team... er, KF? FK? Really need more people so we can make a proper acronym that doubles as our team name. Anyhoo, it's our first successful title defense! You know what that means! Time for me... to burst into song! How do I get this karaoke thing to work... *tinkering noises*...there we go. Now, *clears throat* let's do this! *begins to sing I May Fall but horribly off key and at earsplitting volume due to his mask malfunctioning*
