==Plot==
It's Saturday, and with the relief of not having to go to work, Squidward is thrilled. He wakes up and makes a delicious breakfast for himself, but as he sits down to enjoy it, SpongeBob starts shouting for Patrick. This startles Squidward, causing him to accidentally dunk his face in his cereal. Agitated, he bursts out of his house to give the sponge a piece of his mind.
SpongeBob explains that he was only trying to get Patrick's attention because he wanted to play thumb wars with him. Squidward asks how they're supposed to play thumb wars if Patrick has no discernible thumbs to begin with, and SpongeBob pulls out attachable thumbs that he claims he bought at the mall.
Just then, Patrick walks over.
Patrick notices SpongeBob's attachable thumbs, happy that he remembered to get them. After letting them know to be as quiet as possible and not disturb him, Squidward slams the door in the duo's faces, who run over to SpongeBob's house, excited.
SpongeBob and Patrick are quiet at first, but as they continue playing, they get louder and louder to the point where Squidward can't take it anymore. Right as he's about to lose it, he hears his mailbox open. Desperate to take his mind off of the riff-raff, he rushes over to check his mail, and he notices a flyer advertising undersea wrestling training at the Bikini Bottom Gym, which sparks an idea. Squidward realises that if he learns wrestling, he can use it to scare SpongeBob and Patrick away from his home and finally get the peace and quiet he deserves.
Later that day, Squidward rides his bike to the gym, only to find out that he's severely outweighed by everyone else there. Everywhere he looks, there are buff fish lifting weights and doing press-ups, amongst other fitness-related actions. Trying not to look bad in front of them, he reluctantly makes his way to the room where the training is being held.
Inside, there are several incidentals being taught by a buff shark with a six-pack named Twist A. Knuckle, who immediately notices Squidward and forces him to join everyone in lesson. Twist begins teaching all sorts of rough wrestling techniques, such as the Leg Clamp, where one grips their opponent's leg and clamps it tight, leaving them vulnerable to attack, and the Carousel Slam, where one grabs their opponent's arms and swings them around before slamming them hard into the ground.
After a whole four hours of rigorous training, class is finally over and Squidward is excited to get home and practice his newfound moves on SpongeBob and Patrick. He tries to ride his bike home, but ends up crushing it due to his weight from training. Much to his dismay, Squidward decides to walk home.
Later that evening, Squidward heads to SpongeBob's house ready to sneak up on him. To his delight, the sponge is snoozing away peacefully in bed, giving him the perfect opportunity to strike. However, SpongeBob wakes up from a bad dream right at that moment, and sees Squidward running towards him at immense speed. In a split second, he grabs his karate gear and the two get into a scuffle.
The noise wakes up Patrick, who tries to find out where all the commotion is coming from. When he goes into SpongeBob's bedroom, a moment of awkwardness ensues before Patrick asks what the others are doing. SpongeBob, without hesitation, tries to explain that Squidward snuck up to him in the middle of the night to fight, while Squidward tries to explain that SpongeBob wanted to karate fight him and they ended up in his bedroom. Eventually, Patrick gets frustrated, grabs Squidward's arm and drags him back to his house.
The next morning, Squidward sighs after another failed attempt to rid the neighbourhood of SpongeBob and Patrick. However, as he goes to get the Sunday papers he gets greeted by SpongeBob in a joyful manner. Confused, Squidward asks why he's so happy-go-lucky when they just had a fight the night before. SpongeBob says that he has no memory of any fight, and that he just wanted to be the cheerful self he usually is. Oddly enough, Patrick doesn't recall the event either.
Squidward thinks nothing of it, and heads back inside. The screen goes black and the episode ends.
