The word "Champeen", which obviously means "Championship", has already been used as the name of a rejected character.  The character [[Rejected Characters#Champeen|Champeen]] was featured in [[Dancin' Bubs]] and [[Why Come Only One Girl?]].  She was an athelete similar to Homestar Runner, so it is possible that the Champeenship was named after her, or it could be that she won the Champeenship in the past.  Of course, there could be no relation at all.

[[Rejected Characters#Champeen|Champeen]] was also the name of a rejected character.

"A Wagon Fulla Pamcakes? In the Champeenship?"

The Champeenship is a karate/judo-type tournament held in the gymnasium. The previous champeen is presumed to have been Homestar Runner, as evidenced by his #1 shirt. However, after its training by Strong Bad, the Wagon Fulla Pancakes was able to best Homestar by hitting him on the foot with its handle, somehow defeating Homestar and scoring its seventh point. Coach Z, acting as referee, declared the wagon's win as the crowd cheered. After losing, Homestar sold his shirt for "$3(US)", which was apparently a good deal, as stated in the "end-credits-photo montage".

The Wagon Fulla Pancakes' training was reminiscent of the training sequence from Rocky, which included running up steps, while the Champeenship itself mirrors the contest in The Karate Kid.

Champeen was also the name of a rejected character.
