Hello, neighbors! Mike Chuck from TableTanked here. I'm very excited to be participating in GWJ's stream supporting Trans Lifeline this weekend! I have something special cooked up for my slot on Friday, Feb 1 from 6-8pm Central. I'll be holing up at the One Shot studio and playing an AI simulated Royal Rumble in WWE 2K19 featuring various community-created pop culture characters. Donors will have an opportunity to pick who they think will win the Royal Rumble for a chance to win some Steam keys!

What's a Royal Rumble?
It's a pro wrestling match with 30 entrants. You start with 2 wrestlers and as time goes on, 28 more will enter. Along the way, wrestlers will be eliminated by getting thrown over the top rope. Last wrestler in the ring is the winner!
Who's wrestling?
The roster is at the bottom of this post and includes various community-created characters from video games, cartoons, comic books, etc. Similar to the some of the characters in this Monster Factory.
Who's controlling the wrestlers?
No one! Just the wonky AI which guarantees some awkward shenanigans. However, I'll be commentating on the action along with Aaron Amendola from VStheUNIVERSE and Mel Fox from Get Hype and One Shot.
How do I enter?
Note: Do 2 and 3 together.
- Pick a character from the roster (once it's posted).
- Donate $10 or more to the fundraiser before the Royal Rumble starts at 7pm Central: https://donorbox.org/gamers-with-hop...
- Write a comment with your donation specifying your GWJ & Twitch handles plus which character you think will win.
Just one entry per $10+ donor. But even if you don't enter, pick a character and cheer for them during the stream.
How do I win?
If your character wins, you and any other donors that picked that character will be selected randomly to win.
What do I win?
Steam keys for the following games:
- Colt Express and Burgle Bros from TableTanked Season 1
- Donut County because I love both donuts and Katamari Damacy
- Gris because I finished it last night and absolutely love it and want everyone to experience this gorgeous game.
What if no one wins?
We'll be keeping track of what order characters are eliminated. If the character that wins was not picked by anybody, we'll go down the list in order of which character came closest to winning until we find one that was picked by a donor.
Where do I watch?
On GWJ's twitch channel.
When do I watch?
Friday, Feb 1 at 6pm Central. Here's the timeline:
- 6pm: A practice Royal Rumble with a separate roster will start.
- 7pm: The official Royal Rumble with the posted roster and prizes will start. Donations after the match starts will not be eligible to win.

And hey, even if you can't spare the money for a good cause, no one is stopping you from guessing a winner here just for fun. Can't wait to see the roster!
The 13-year old kid in me says Goku is the winner.
...that came out wrong.
What odds are you giving on Prime winning?
In my experience, Prime is an absolute monster in the ring and he has the stamina to go all the way (even if he is the first seed) but can be overpowered if people gang up on him.
That's funny. I would have said that large groups are no problem to him, but the one-to-one fights can get challenging...
Optimus's autonomic nature can get the best of him. He can work the crowd, but that leaves him open to attacks.
(I have run these things too many times.)
(Secretly hoping to see Bob Ross announced as one of the next batch of characters just to see him beat the devil out of his opponents)
*Bob Ross hoists Ronald McDonald onto the top turnbuckle after slapping him across the face with a painting easel.*
"Happy little clouds..."
*Ross powerbombs McDonald onto the mat, and into oblivion.*
"Beat the devil out of it..."
I read The Thing as John Carpenter's The Thing, not Fantastic Four Thing. Now I think you need to include Carpenter's Thing!
John Carpenter's "The Thing" *IS* in the game, we just haven't tested to see who it is. Yet.
I read The Thing as John Carpenter's The Thing, not Fantastic Four Thing. Now I think you need to include Carpenter's Thing!
Well I read "Mickey Mouse" as "Mighty Mouse" and think he should be in as well.
"Heeeere I come to bring the paaaiiinnn!"
Crap, misread the donation instructions and forgot to put which character I think will win.
Raphael is my pick, since he was my favourite manic depressive ninja turtle growing up, and the subject of countless amounts of money put into arcade machines.
Unless Bob Ross becomes a real thing. Then he becomes my pick. Because that guy can beat the devil out of anything.
I’ve given it some thought and I think I’m gonna have to go with Gandalf. He gets tossed, he’ll come back as Gandalf the White. That’s two chances!
Just like Gandalf is gonna steal the belt.
I'm putting my money on the one with experience in the wrestling ring. Spider-Man for the win!11!1!One! (And I wrote that in the donation comment)
As soon as I read the top post, this got stuck in my brain, courtesy of about 2006.
I also did not the read the instructions for my donation. I will get my Twitch handle to you later today.
My pick is... Stormtrooper! They’re inept at short range fires, worthless in a melee against teddy bears, and weak minded but they keep coming back for more pain!
From somtimesdee: Ronald McDonald is totally going to win the Rumble!
I am Aristophan and I choose Santa!
Some donation votes!
I always gotta bet on the dark horse, which in this case is clearly Pepsiman. Pepsi for TV game!
You joke but Pepsiman is hopped up on caffeine and that makes them unpredictable and a great contender.
My vote is for Elmo, despite the fact that he will likely snap and f*ck someone up bad enough to be disqualified.
Skeletor's going over, he's lookin' real jacked, baby! And I've got Ronald McDonald for Iron Clown.
