(Note- before I post this whole mishmosh, I just want everyone to know
that I don't read every comics in existence and thusly do not know everyone's
"secret identity."  Don't be particularly surprised to maybe see someone
twice under different names.  Can't be helped.|)

	Greetings, and salutations from Madison Square Gardens, the sight
of tonight's big matchups brought to you by the Women's World Wrestling
Association (WWWA).  Sure is a big card tonight.
	That's right, Bob.  We'll be starting off our pay-per-view audience
with the highlights from this afternoon's BattleRoyal results...

	

	The action was fast and furious at the bottom of the list -- a
horrifyingly big catfight to say the least, featuring the talents of 33
meagerly popular (one or two votes) comic book women.  Several combatants were
eliminated nearly as soon as they stepped in the ring, but they still deserve
recognition...

	1 - Mystery Girl
	1 - Mockingbird
	1 - Tigre
	1 - The Huntress
	1 - Barda
	1 - Storm
	1 - Baby-Boom
	1 - Lady Arcane
	1 - Supergirl -- "the Kara-Zor-El version, NOT that matrix thing"
	1 - Astoria -- the winner of "Most difficult vote to Obtain"  ;)
	1 - Dream Girl
	1 - Gamora
	1 - Phantom Lady
	1 - Cutey Bunny
	1 - Phase
	1 - Cerise
	1 - Ms. Tree
	1 - Mimi Masters
	1 - Catwoman
	1 - Kay -- from Akira
	1 - Jenny Weaver
	1 - Elektra-Assassin
	1 - Mary Jane Watson-Parker
	1 - Red Fox
	1 - Betty Cooper
	1 - Holly Would
	1 - Illyana
	1 - Miracle Woman
	1 - Domino

	These folks were all soundly defeated by a combined force of three
sixth-placers...

	"OOOOHH!  What a HIT!  Callisto knocked Storm into the 22nd row!
Man, what a GRUDGE that woman holds!!!
	But wait!  Supergirl's looking for an easy target and spots one!
	"What's with the headgear, Green-hair?"
	"You dare make fun of my HAIR?!?  Why I'll..."  and with that
Polaris manipulated Kara's momentum just enough to grind her into the 
pavement.
	"Man! That'll take a month to clean up!"
	"You little b---h!  Get outta my face!"  Holly Would screamed.  She
was having a bad hair da and was on her period, and was in no mood to put up
the insolent teenager in front of her.  Holly lunged, hoping to send the brat
over the top rope.
	With her normal incredibly good luck,  Jubilee just barely managed to
avoid the blow.  Holly, with a scream of frustration, fell through the ropes
and landed on Supergirl.  "Catch ya later, ya bleach-blonde BIMBO!  Where'd ya
learn to stuff yer bra like that, you..."

   >>Sixth Place<<	
	2 - Jubilee
	2 - Polaris
	2 - Callisto

	Wow! What action!  Now, a three-way fight for fourth...

	"--To my left, currently in the ring, hailing from Dooooooooom Patrol,
Crazy  JANE!!!!!
	"--And now entering the area from my right, that beauty with an odd-
looking tan, that heroine prone to posing, that gamma ray gal herself...
SHEEEEEEEEE HUUUUUUULK
	"--And now from the center aisle,  from the British aisles, Kitty
Pryde--  SHADOOOOOOOWCAAAAAAT!!!"

	**Interruption.  To make a long story short,  She-Hulk and Crazy Jane
beat on each other until BOTH fall unconcious.  No one landed a blow on Kitty,
so she won.**

	>>Fifth Place<<
	3 - Crazy Jane
	3 - She Hulk

	>>Fourth Place<<
	4 - Shadowcat

	As hard as I tried, I simply cannot write something about someone I 
absolutely don't know.  I feel this could make an interesting story, but
I'd have to (No flames, no backtalk, OK?) start buying Cerebus to find out.
This was REALLY close, this battle for second place, until the final day
of voting, when the winner made a move that pushed her into first-place
contention (or would have, had the contest gone on longer!).

	>>Third Place<<
	5 - Jaka Tavers

	>>Second Place<<
	11 - Psylocke -- I can't print most responses about Betsy.  Hmmmm...

	Wait!!!  If Psylocke won SECOND place, then... what happened to the 
two frontrunners?  Well, I like to think they've got each other in a 
death-grip on some other plane of existence... that during the match a bright
light shone down from the ceiling, totally obliterating both from sight.  When
the light diasapeared, the contestants were gone!  (Same message as before)  
So sue me.  I don't read Sandman, either.

	>>First Place -- the Deadlock from Hell<<
	Death - 19 votes
	Rogue - 19 votes

	Just as a side comment, Rogue was the winner of the prestigious
"Nominee-whose-nominator-has-a-lot-of-time-on-his-hands" award.  One of her
votes was a 13x27 rectagle of Rogues (that's 13 Rogues by 27 Rogues).  Nice
effort for one vote...

	Anyway, there she lies.  The results.  A chopped off wrestling
storyline.  Whatever.  All I have to say is that I'm really surprised at how
the whole thing turned out.  That, and that Domino only got one stinking vote
(coincidentally mine.  Oh, well.)!!!  
	

	Until the next contest, or I-can't-live-without-E-mail,
		King Rat signing off!!!!!
