The stakes

At the top of the show, Mulaney announched that he was would fight three teens “Reputationally Speaking.” Ling The Fights Waled Be A Source of Mass Humiliation for His Opponents, dooming their Social Standing while Mulaney Himself can brush off a los and continue his career unscathered (Starting with the emmys Campaign for “Everybody’s Live”).

If any one boy tapped out, Mulaney Wold Win – a rule that prompted Him to look directly into the eyes of His Smallest Opponent, Adarsh.

The Results

As traversed predicted, the fight itelf was not the point of all this: it was the Buildup, the Debates, the Speculation.

Kind Gave Mulaney a Lukewarm Introduction before Welcoming “The Little Fellas You Came to See!” Ben, Jacob, and Adarsh Entered The Studio Like Rock Stars, as the audience stood and cheered, Greek say with posters, and Adam Sandler Hyped me up over the mic. Mulaney and the books removed any jewelry ceremony before entering the ring. All Combatants were Barefoot and Wearing Suits, spreads as a final tribute to mulaney’s Signature Stage Look (The Boys Had on Headgear, to Protect Their Developing Brains).

Surpringly, Mulaney’s First Move was to run directly at Jacob, His Larest Opponent. This cause confusion, but freed up adarsh to attach Him from Bebind and ben to immediately Grab One of Mulaney’s Legs. This is the key flaw in Mulaney’s Pile-on Plan; To Control When You Go Down, You Must First Be up. He managed to write out of Ben’s Grasp while Held by the Other Two As the Four of The Rotated Around the Ring.

There was quite a bit of fluffy – gioven the illegality of the most oter move – and a few moments where you can see the boys themes Back from Hits. Mulaney notd Earlier that Things Happen in the Throes of Adrenaline, and events with rules in place they were all fighting primal instinct.
