You want some headcanon? No prob fam!

The year is 20xx. The economy isn't great and people are bored! Ken Masters and Robert Garcia, remembering the success of the Millionaire Fighting tournament in 2001, formulate a plan for a bigger and better tournament! This time, the tournament will be open invitation. The more the merrier! Every match will be televised in every way possible so that the sponsorship and advertisement money will be incredible. The prize? A million bucks. Don't knock it.

The downside to this plan becomes quickly apparent. Many fighters are so desperate for the prize that they find any way to increase their odds - including coming back from the dead! Who will come out on top? There's only one way to find out...

I always wanted to make a stage of a sign up station featuring like 10 versions of Athena standing in the back ground, and other such amusements, but eh. Too lazy.
