The PAX Rumble

[mysterydriver]

Coming up at the PAX video game convention is the latest in e-sports...entertainment. THAT'S RIGHT. E-SPORTS ENTERTAINMENT in the form of The PAX Rumble! It features 30 of the brightest, not-so-brightest, biggest, and nearly unrecognizable individuals from video games journalism, creation, and promotion.

30 people will enter, 1 will win in a massive N64 WWF Wrestlemania 2000 battle royal. They've drawn their numbers, but their superstars are still a mystery! What are the odds that the favorite will have Mideon or The Undertaker? The same, because it's all random!

The winner will go on to PAXamania to battle PAX Champion Alex "The Wolf" Navarro in a one-on-one battle.

Straight from their super flashy paxamania.com/ website is the confirmed list of contestants so far:

Alex “Bones” Rubens
Alexa Ray Corriea
D-Leazy
”Dirty” Dan Ryckert
Dan Teasdale
”The Notorious D.O.D.” Danny O’Dwyer
Dr. Tracksuit
”The Underdraker” John Drake
Kate Welch
Khalil White
”The Dog Walker” Mary Kish
”Um Jammer Sammy” Samantha Kalman
Samit Sarkar
Sean Baptiste
Shawn Alexander Allen
Steph Bayer
Tim Turi
”The Trin Train” Trin Garritano

Multiple contestants from the rogue gang that is RUN GFB, headed by Dave "D-Leazy" Lang of Iron Galaxy, The Underdraker John Drake (Director of Portfolio Strategy at PlayStation), and Jeff Gerstmann of Giantbomb.com's heinous client Dr. Tracksuit. They're all vying for a win to face the champion, who was shockingly revealed to be apart of the team at March's PAXAMANIA.

And who knows the mystery opponents who may appear! (One show earlier this year brought forth the amazing SWERY65 of Deadly Premonition fame to...moderately unsuccessful video game playing!)

But what is a Rumble without RUMBLE HYPE PROMOS!

(Mild Language Warning for all videos)

What will happen when RUN GFB enforcer and disputed practitioner Dr. Tracksuit is unleashed?


Can "Dirty" Dan Ryckert avenge a betrayal (admittedly, he hired RUN GFB as mercenaries to help him win) and run the Rumble to complete his self-made, delusional Rocky story?


Can newcomer (apparently from Kung Fury 1980s) high school bully Tim Turi avenge Game Informer magazine against all these internet website people?


IS EVERYONE A HEEL?! No. No, they are not.

This Sunday Sunday SUNDAY AUGUST 30th - Seattle, Washington - The Grand Hyatt - Hydra Theatre!!

So...yeah....this is stupid fun that I've really enjoyed watching whenever it pops up. It's ridiculous and the fact that they work in storylines, usually built on panels before the show is super silly.

It's tomorrow on Twitch at 10AM time.

I hope Dirty Dan eats another superkick. Because of Drake's actions at E3 I actually feel sympathy for D-Leazy, and that makes me feel gross.

I am hoping Sweary shows up for no reason.

[AFN: Judge Shred]

Also, I am rooting for Danny O'Dwyer, The Professor aka Austin Walker (Who also has a promo vid out), and hopefully a Merry Kish sighting.

Starting in about 10 minutes.

Here's hoping for as many shenanigans as possible.

Danny O'Dwyer's promo was great.

Gang Beasts are in the house!

And a fire alarm goes off, delaying the entire process.

The E-Sports Entertainment equivalent of TNA is laughing.

[AFN: Judge Shred]

And Greg Miller is, of course, louder than the alarm.

[AFN: Judge Shred]

WOOOOOOOOOOODDSSS!

TURN ON THE FOG MACHINE

[AFN: Judge Shred]

Well, this show has been a technical masterpiece.

Who would have thought that Underdraker was John Drake all this time?
