Jefferson County Middle School is holding the Speech and Debate League of Death and Destruction Cross Town Explosion Event: a contest that combines speech and debate with extreme wrestling and other sporting activities. Melissa has signed herself up for this event with Lydia and Bradley, but when the latter two get injured due to Murphy's Law, Milo and Zack take their place.
Tropes:
- Call-Back: The Speech and Debate League event has been organized due to an interest in extreme sporting after events such as Athledecamathalon and Cake 'Splosion.
- Melissa's team has to compete against the Middletown Middle School Middlemen, led again by Wendy from "Athledecamathalon". Murray the Middleman also returns.
- Kayfabe: Murray the Middleman turns out to be this. His real name is Stan and appears to be a good friend of Coach Mitchell.
- Leitmotif: Murray has a jingle of his own.
- Masked Luchador: Wendy's team is entirely inspired by lucha libre, with her team being named "Los Debators Gigantes", and each member wearing a masked outfit.
- Overly Long Name: The event that the episode is named after in full.
- Professional Wrestling: The eponymous event combines this with a debate club, of all things.
