WORLD, U.S., KING OF THE RING

World Champion

EDGE: The Game Genie (WEL)
Sully "The Sledgehammer" Sullivan of Canada; 501; $300,000 + 100 free matches or a real wrestling belt & 50 free matches

The "Blow on Me" remix of "Call on Me" by Eric Prydz blares over the loudspeaker. On the Jumbotron, the Game Genie code screen appears, and the cursor rolls over the glowing letters one by one to spell out W-O-R-L-D T-I-T-L-E. Yoshi and Luigi emerge from the curtain and roll a Power Pad down the ramp like it's a red carpet. The Game Genie steps out, flanked by his Entourage: Soda Popinski, Kid Icarus, Dr. Wily, the blue-haired guy from Contra and, of course, his personal valet, Princess Toadstool. He has a mic firmly planted in his Power Gloved hand as he begins to walk toward the ring.

Game Genie: "When Adam Sullivan slipped my plastic casing over the IWA NES gaming cartridge, we all knew great things were bound to happen. From day one, I've been his top gun for punching out the competition, even when a lot of naysayers thought of me as a paperboy. That sentiment changed when I won the U.S. title, and the excitement and gratitude that Sully showed me was mega, man. Alas, we all knew that his first World title was the final fantasy. I bore down and used all sorts of fighting tactics from kung fu to even pulling out blades of steel like a bona fide sword master. I pretty much became a bionic commando in my quest to become the ring king. Now, here I stand among friends, family, and all my Gamers in the crowd, as the undisputed champion of the world!!!"
