*Fade in to the palatial...palace...of The Grandmaster on his home planet Sakaar, where we find The Grandmaster ADDRESSING~! his citizens via giant holographic image...
GM: Attention citizens of Sakaar. I know it's been a bit dull around here since the...prisoners with jobs...broke out and left, but I've gathered a new crop of fighters, and this time, they're here by choice!
*The city erupts in cheering*
GM: We'll have our first gladiatorial games very soon, but right now, I want to give you just a taste of what you can expect to see. In my travels trying to round up my escaped prisoners, I visited many different worlds. One of these was called Earth, and it has its own form of gladiatorial games called Prestige Worldwide Wrestling. It's a glorious company steeped in years of history that somehow never gets the credit it deserves when it comes time for the earthlings to vote. But that's beside the point. What I took from Prestige Worldwide Wrestling is a type of match that I hadn't considered before: a Championship Scramble.
*And the crowd says "Oooooooooh."*
GM: Right? Sounds impressive. And it is. Let me break it down for you. I select eight of my best fighters and put them all in the arena at once. The first fighter to score a victory becomes Interdimensional Grandmaster Wrestling (or IGW, as it likes to be called) Heavyweight Champion. The fighter he defeats is eliminated from the match.
*The crowd cheers mightily*
GM: But wait; there's more. The match continues with the six remaining fighters.
*Pleasantly surprised cheering*
GM: I know, right? Anyway, the second fighter to score a victory is awarded the IGW Intercontinental Championship, and the fighter he defeats is eliminated from the match. Now, before you get too excited, remember that there are four fighters left. The next two victors in the match will be paired together in what's called a "tag team" and awarded the IGW Tag Team Championships, which they'll defend against other "tag teams" at later events.
*The populace is quite happy, as evidenced by their continued cheering (although I'm beginning to suspect that some of the noise might be piped in)*
GM: No it isn't.
*Whatever you say. You're the boss.*
GM: Damn straight.
*The cheering has died down, as the citizens can't hear me, so they don't know who The Grandmaster is talking to off-hologram*
GM: Oh. Right. So, citizens of Sakaar, would you like to meet the Championship Scramble participants?
*There is much cheering in the affirmative*
GM: Then without further ado, here we go! He's green, he's hairy, and he'll rip your face off! He's Blanka!
*Cheering*
GM: Next up, another green guy, which I know you all love. He hunts bounties across the galaxy; give it up for Bossk!
*Cheering*
GM: And now, he's tall, dark, and shaggy: it's Chewbacca!
*Cheering*
GM: Our next fighter comes to us from an alternate version of that Earth I was talking about before. He's as skilled in fighting as he is with the ladies; he's Nightwing!
*Cheering*
GM: This guy may look like pure evil, but...no wait, he is pure evil: the bane of Eternia, Skeletor!
*Cheering*
GM: Next, a sneaky ninja assassin from one of the most notorious terrorist groups in history: Storm Shadow!
*Cheering*
GM: Penultimately, I visited the dream world and brought back this monster: James P. Sullivan!
*Confused cheering*
GM: You might know him better as Sulley!
*Cheering and nodding*
GM: I thought so. And finally, you know him...you love him...he's the last man to ever be defeated by The Hulk in this very ring...he is...the Lord of Thunder, Thor!
*Loads of cheering*
Thor: Actually, it's "God of Thunder." And I didn't lose. You cheated.
GM: Whatever you say, Sparky.
*And The Grandmaster's guards step in to hold Thor back as we *FADE*
