Synopsis: Carly jokingly says she can kick Shelby Marx's butt on her webcast and Shelby challenges her to a fake charity match.  However, during the press conference for the fight Sam tells Carly to trash talk and Carly ends up knocking over Shelby's grandma.  Shelby gets mad and decides the fight will be real.  Carly then quits!  Shelby calls her out and Carly apologizes for accidentally hurting her grandmother.  Enter NEVEL who makes a fake video that looks like Carly meant to knock down the grandmother.  Shelby gets in the ring and truly tries to hurt Carly but Carly hangs on to her leg until the round is done.  The iCarly's tell Shelby the video was Nevel being evil and in the end Nevel gets his!

Seattle doesn't have a Super Center, they had a King Dome and Safeco Field.

Also on the blooper reel Victoria Justice really kicks Jerry Trainor.
The ending is very similar to iMeet Fred where Fred and Freddie hug.

In the credits we get to see Baby Spencer who hasn't shown up before.

Spencer Side Count:  Has bad allergies and takes sketchy medicine to get rid of them.

Penny Tee Count:  Special Ham - worn by Freddie

Review: One of my favourite Creddie moments is in this episode:  When viewers remark that Carly is a twig she says she is getting curvier every day and Freddie says he knows, and Carly remarks "Eyes up dude!"  I also like when Carly fights Shelby and freaks out.  When Nevel says he's afraid of Sam!  Awesome.  Overall this episode has a great storyline and including Nevel is genius.

Total Score: 5/5
