Pokemon vs WWE: Fight!
Out of our trio of intrepid Pokemon, Elekid was the overwhelming choice for a tag-team partner. All the WWE talent we met with chose him. The reasons, however, were far ranging. Michelle McCool said, "He looks mean. He looks ready to fight." Carlito added, "He looks like he has sneaky ideas." CM Punk noted, "He's yellow. He looks pissed off." Whatever the reason, Elekid was unanimously elected as the best Pokemon to get in the ring with. How shocking! (Sorry, that had to be done.)
As for who would make the easiest opponent, the wrestlers... oops... we meant "sports entertainers," were split. A few of the WWE Superstars had heat with Bellossom - so much so that they felt the need to smack her out of our hands. The more level-headed ones that picked Marill didn't get as physical, but their words were cutting.
Marill's rotund physique made it an easy pick for the easiest opponent. CM Punk noted, "Short arms and short legs - no reach whatsoever, can't kick." Carlito said Marill was, "Blown up and out of shape." Michelle McCool observed that, "If he tipped over, he really couldn't get up very easily."
