Chapter 1: The Interviews Begin


WWE backstage reporters Charly Caruso and Andrea D'Marco were busy sharing each other's backstage duties, interviewing some of the new and old competitors who were busy getting ready for this second annual YouTube Royal Rumble event. First off was the old characters returning from the first event.

Markiplier's Interview

RAW interviewer Charly was standing around backstage area with Markiplier, who was dressed up in his black Markiplier shirt and wearing his signature pink Markiplier moustache.

Charly Caruso: Ladies and gentleman, with me right now is one of the returnees from the last YouTube Royal Rumble II, Markiplier. What's your gameplan coming into this event?

Markiplier: Ah, good question, Charles. I have no idea.

Charly Caruso: You do realize I'm a woman, right?

Markiplier: Well, you see Charles, I've been learning around my past mistakes. Oh and not to mention that little nut kick I suffered at the end of Trisha Paytas's high heel. I don't really have a game plan to be honest, but I do know one simple logic. Learning from my mistakes and succeeding into the future. And this time, I plan to survive any future mistakes so I can lead myself to victory! Plus, this pink moustache is giving me such a mouth itch. Got any lotion?

Harley Morenstein's Interview

SmackDown interviewer Andrea was standing in the locker room with Epic Meal Time founder Harley Morenstein, who was busy adjusting his green hat.

Andrea D'Marco: Harley Morenstein, you came awfully close to winning last year's YouTube Royal Rumble. Will this year be any different?

Harley Morenstein: You damn right it's gonna be different. I'm about to light up this Rumble like bacon cooking over bacon grease mixed with bacon bits and bacon jam! And then, I'll fry every one of those suckas to the ground just like I do bacon. Once they get well done, I'll slather them over with some Jack Dagnals and mix it up with that baby-back rib barbecue sawss! And not to mention hot sawss! And meat sawss! And nacho cheese sawss! Mixed with Dagnals and Bacon. Whole lots of it. Who knows? Maybe I'll feed every one of them to my good buddy MusclesGlasses! Me and EMT got this in the bag, what what?

Angry Video Game Nerd's Interview

Charly Caruso was now standing in front of a soda machine where the Angry Video Game Nerd was standing with a Rolling Rock in his hands.

Charly Caruso: Angry Video Game Nerd, you don't seem to be in a good mood. Why's that all of a sudden?

Angry Video Game Nerd: Have you ever seen me, Charly? I'm never in a good mood. Even when it's having to deal with 49 other poopbags or playing a s***ty game such as any Berenstain Bears games or any of the f***in' LJN games, I'm never in a good mood. The only way I'm gettin' cheered up is when I finally win the f***in' thing and get this thing over with. But first things first, I'm gonna down this Rolling Rock, then strap on my power glove, and get to training. Because that's what a Nerd does. Why do you think I'm called the Angry Video Game Nerd? It's simple. I take people back to the past so they can stop playing the s***ty games that suck ass. And sooner or later, they're all gonna get a good case of that good ol' buffalo diarrhea dump. Now if you excuse me, I gotta train.

Pat The NES Punk's Interview

Andrea D'Marco was still in the locker room area, this time she was standing with Pat The NES Punk. With him was Pat's uncle Frank in standby.

Andrea D'Marco: Standing beside me now is Pat The NES Punk. Pat, you definitely improved your training since last time. Will that play a factor for you in this Royal Rumble match.

Pat The NES Punk: Andrea, I'm definitely sure I've trained hard enough to win. I mean, I've done 400 pushups, 400 situps, 400 pullups, 400 laps around the track and back, and quite gracefully, swam back and forth from my pool around 200 times.

Frank: *to Pat* No you didn't, all you did was sit on your ass all day and watch The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt while eating Fudge Grahams.

Pat The NES Punk: *to Frank* It's not my fault they were good. And yes, I do train! Sometimes, I need a break from all the running, thank you!

Frank: Much like a 15-hour break!

Pat The NES Punk: You take that back, old man! I dare you take that back! Come on!

Knowing that this argument was getting worse, Andrea decided it was now time to head out of here just for safety.

Steve Shives's Interview

Charly Caruso was standing beside atheist YouTube and 1st annual YouTube Royal Rumble winner Steve Shives down at the interview area. Steve was busy taping up his hands in prior to the event.

Charly Caruso: I'm standing alongside the winner of the first ever YouTube Royal Rumble winner, atheist Steve Shives. Steve, you claimed victory in the last Royal Rumble, do you think you can go for a repeat?

Steve Shives: Totally, I mean, I've learned to handle a lot more crazy people flooding my channel. You wouldn't believe the humans I get on my channel most of the time. You have overzealoted religious people, Trekkies, grown up bronies, crazy wrestling smarks, and even my mom. How weird is that? I'm certain handling gamers, toy collectors, old men, crazy conspiracy theorists and vloggers will definitely be a walk in the park. I'm feeling very confident about the number that I got, and I don't want to spoil anything to the fans, but trust me. I totally got this.

ProJared's Interview

Andrea D'Marco was standing outside the locker room area with ProJared, who was busy putting his gloves on.

Andrea D'Marco: ProJared, this is your first competing in this Royal Rumble match. Any thoughts?

ProJared: There are a lot of thoughts in my mind, to be honest. I'm thinking what to do with the money if I win. I'm thinking what happens if I end up in the hospital after getting hurt too much. I'm thinking if I got myself a headstone just in case if I die in the rumble. I'm thinking what to do if there's a hot big-boobed babe greeting me with a kiss after I win. I'm certain some of those thoughts I've been thinking will happen. Hopefully, I may not die or get hurt that much. I'm certain victory will be in my hands! Hopefully, I still shudder about getting hurt. Let's hope that doesn't happen.

JackSepticEye's Interview

Charly Caruso was seen standing alongside JackSepticEye in the interview area.

Charly Caruso: JackSepticEye, you're one of the few gamers from the YouTube gaming community to compete in this match. How must the pressure be getting you?

JackSepticEye: Charly, I don't feel any pressure getting to me at all if that's what you're asking. Laddie, I was born for adventures like this, make it real life or in games. This match is definitely gonna take a lot out of me knowing I'll have to deal with 49 lucky leprechauns standing in my way, but if it's for that million, you bet your arse I'm gonna torch 'em all the way to the top. I mean, can't you hear it in my voice? That's my Irish blood talkin' to me. And you know what they say about the Irish; luck's already on our side.

Todd In The Shadows's Interview

Andrea D'Marco was standing at a dark corner near the backstage area where Todd In The Shadows was standing.

Andrea D'Marco: Standing before me right now is Todd In The Shadows. Todd, why in a dark setting like this?

Todd In The Shadows: If you really must know, this setting fits me very well for a guy who's silouletted all over his body and wearing his signature white hoodie all day. But enough about me, I gotta deal with the fact I'm dealing with 49 other crapbrains who are more lamer than Milli Vanilli's entire sham of a career. They all want the same thing I want. They all want to be considered the World's Greatest YouTuber along with the million dollars. As if! They'll have to kill me first before they can get the job done. I'll knock them off the charts faster than Vanilla Ice's career did. Word to your mother.

Alex Jones's Interview

Charly Caruso was seen standing alongside Infowars founder and conspiracy theorist, Alex Jones, in the locker room area.

Charly Caruso: Alex Jones, you've shown to be an interesting entry in the 2nd annual YouTube Royal Rumble. Call me crazy, no offense, but will anybody take you seriously?

Alex Jones: Seriously? I'm tellin' ya, this Rumble is fixed. It's rigged. It's already coming to plan. And there's nothing nobody could do about it. But I assure you, there is something I can do about it. I must win this YouTube Royal Rumble so that the enemy won't win. You hear me, Caruso? I won't let them win!

Staring right into the camera, Alex Jones decided to speak head-first into the lens with venom in his veins.

Alex Jones: If you're hearing this, whoever's planning this little conspiracy, you won't win! YOU WON'T WIIIIIIIIIIN!

And then, he finally left the locker room, leaving Charly Caruso very dumbfounded by her behavior.

Charly Caruso: *gulping* Well, that was unsanitary. Anyway, let's head over to Mauro, JBL and Saxton for the opening event!


Well, something tells me this is gonna be a very interesting sequel! Anyway, here's who will be confirmed in the match:

Stephen Quire, Pat the NES Punk, Markiplier, Harley Morenstein, Steve Shives, The Irate Gamer, Brian Zane, ProJared, Teddy Rubskin, JackSepticEye, Nostalgia Critic, Angry Video Game Nerd, Angry Grandpa, Todd In The Shadows and Alex Jones

Well, that's 15 so far, but who will consist out of the other 35 contestants in this match? Will it be one of your favorites from the last YouTube Royal Rumble I didn't mention on the story nor in the book cover? I promise you there will be surprises left in store, so you'll just have to find out until next chapter, in which the real story/event begins. Until then, feel free to leave some feedback on this fic if you want! Warrior over and out!
