Toonopolis Fighting World

The desperate cry of Jimbob turned out to be a sign of things to come. Receiving numerous death threats and challenges against his power as the new owner and president of Toonopolis Fighting World, Jimbob went insane. A hallucination of Kid Gemini told him that the only way to solf his problem was to destroy all the toons on the roster. On Episode Fourteen, Jimbob attempted to do just that and gathered the entire roster (or so he thought) to the fighting pit and blew the entire thing up.

Some survived… some were never seen again.

After a stretch of inactivity, Toonopolis Fighting World returned with Episode Fifteen and with Jimbob still at the helm. On Episode Sixteen, Jimbob met with real-world wrestling promoter Jeremy Rodden (then CEO of the National Wrestlinc Council Affiliated Leagues [later, the Coalition of Affiliated Leagues]). He agreed to involve TFW with the organization on the grounds that Rodden find Jacob Grenk in the real world and return him to them.

Also on Episode Sixteen, a clone of Jimbob the Talking Eggplant who would come to be known as Little Jimmy was created by Panhandle. This would be the first of many odd events that would add to the level of chaos in Toonopolis.

On Episode Seventeen Livid, former manager of Maur, began assembling an army beginning with Paradox (a clone of Abnormal Membrane) and Candy (a kind of clone of Kiki drawn by Takin, Calophi’s creator).

On Episode Twenty, things got really interesting when former Tooniverse Champion Potty Mouth returned and tricked Jimbob into thinking that Kid Gemini had made Potty a co-owner of the league.

After that, things began getting majorly out of control. Eve began amassing an army, Livid’s army grew stronger, Potty Mouth kept running the Saturday Morning shows, the stupid Little Jimmy clone began running the After School Special shows, and Jimbob spent most of his time hiding under a table with a shotgun.

Then it happened.

Nasha won the CAL World Title from a cartoon version of Rictor Arkane, then champion. A lot of real world stuff got thrown out of whack and, in the end, Jeremy Rodden held true to his word and found Jacob Grenk. Well, he didn’t really need to find him because Jacob Grenk was his son. After Nasha and Calophi were found by Kid Gemini in the body of real-world wrestler/voice actress Morgan Tyler, Jacob decided it was time to go back. He took Nasha and Calophi with him.

When he returned, he encouraged the toons to continue factioning and attempting to take over. He also reminded him that he was the Shadowy Figure and was, indeed, all powerful in the Tooniverse so that any attempt to overthrow him would fail. Jimbob went even more nuts, though, and fled from Gemini only to return riding a giant metallic purple horse and starting his own faction.

Things seemed to be building up towards the second movie that would pit the multiple factions against each other to see which was the strongest when, after Episode Twenty-Five, everything stopped.

Toonopolis became stuck in a suspended state of inaction. The cause was inexplicable. Some theorize that the world is similar to Fantasia inThe NeverEnding Story and that, without the imagination and creativity of the people in the real world, the Tooniverse cannot function. Regardless, the world siezed… for over a year in real world terms.
