    Kim and Ron get tickets to the big match between wrestlers Pain King and Steel Toe. Ron, unable to get Kim excited about the event, fears that a new friend has come between them. However a new challenger plans to crash the match with a magical amulet imbuing him with the powers of Anubis. The new friends name is Monique which voice is from Raven Simone. This episode is the first appearance: Monique, Pain King, Steel Toe, Although Steeltoe was mentioned earlier. My favorite part of this episode is when we see Monique and when we see the battle of Pain King vs. Steeltoe
    Ron vs. Kim and Pain King, Steeltoe, Ron and Kim vs. the robber of Cleopatra's amulet.moreless

    When I saw this episode I thought it was good finally they an episode that is like wrestling related.I am also a wrestling fan like Ron.Well anyways this episode was about Ron getting jealous of Kim's new friend Monique and an evil wrestling owner is tired of being call small and weak and he could never wrestle a match by Two of the top wrestlers Pain King and Steel Toe.
    After string of robberries leading to him he uses the powers from an amulet that used to belong to Anubis{I think}and becomes an all powerful super being.This episode is good so I give it an 8.6moreless

    The Global Wrestling Association comes to Middleton, where Steel Toe and Pain King will face off. Ron couldn't be more excited, while Kim couldn't care less. She finds a more interesting time spent in the company of the Cleopatra's Closet display of Club Banana. It is at the store that Kim meets Monique and the two of them become fast friends.

    Meanwhile, a rare artifact that can bestow the owner mystical powers has been lifted from the local museum. Ron learns of the budding relationship and feels a little left out. (This plot point would be reprised, albeit to lesser effect, in "Steal Wheels".)

    This was another delightful episode from writers Patti Carr and Lara Runnels. There are a number of funny lines ("Let's go home and watch wrestling so we can get psyched to watch wrestling!", "Cleopatra. Like anyone's gonna remember her in ten years."), and the final fight was exciting.

    "Pain King vs. Cleopatra" is well worth your time.moreless

    This episode was alright for ne. The concept of the episode itself wasn't that great.

    This is the first episode Ron is jealous that Kim isn't spending time with him, which is what Kim will experience in Steal Wheels. This episode also marked the first appearance of Monique. For her fistr few appearances, she has dot eyes with double eyelids!

    Anyway, Kim got two tickets to Mayhem in middleton and Ron takes both tickets but he feels very lonely. We all know that Jackie's character wasn't great and I thought the fight would have been better than it was in the episode.

    Overall, an average episode with some character development from Ron as he feels scared of the KIm/Ron friendship breaking up.moreless

    • West Side Story:

      The scene where Kim and Ron are surrounded by the two groups of fans in the beginning of the episode is similar to West Side Story. Edit
    • NWA: GWA is a reference to NWA, a group of small wrestling companies set up across the country with one champion being champion for every one of the companies. Edit
    • Kim: "I think this is the beginning of a very weird friendship" This closing line is very similar to the closing line of Michael Curtiz's 1942 b/w film Casablanca: "I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship." Edit
