FIGHT CARD #1757/23/2138

💪 DOMINANCE 💪

Siege and Storm War Memorial (275,000)

The buzz: Apex is more dangerous than ever after being attacked by the returning Basilisk. They are all set to go one on one at BFC 78 coming up on card 1759.

But before then, the Apex Predator is looking for a challenger for tonight. Apex stalks the locker room looking for an opponent to fight as the show opens.

Apex is backstage chasing wrestlers in every direction. Krud & Ygorr clumsily sneak off into the direction of the jungles of Castliex…Mayham dives into a dumpster where he finds a half-eaten ham and digs in. Vizir the Elder casually hides behind a pillar. Even some Aethran Soldiers decide it’s better to be safe than sorry, and turn and walk in the other direction when they see the Apex Predator coming.

Everybody is scattering but Orrus just sits calmly at his locker, taping his fists. Apex kicks the door in, bends down to get face to face w Orrus and tells him he has a match tonight - with Apex!

Orrus stands up. As big as Orrus is he still looks way up to Apex. The two super beasts have a stare down. Our main event is set!

* Demon Godsend dominates Death Knight (4), putting him down with a grip of doom. **

After the match, Demon Godsend once again claims himself to be the only true King of Castilex (he refuses to acknowledge New Aethra). He says he fooled the impostor Grand Master into freeing him from the chains of Castilex. Since then he has outsmarted Vizir and our-performed Exo-King in the ring, with decisive victories over both. Now the most loyal native of them all - the Death Knight lay at the king’s feet. Demon Godsend says this leaves only one left to best in the ring - Grand Master. Demon Godsend officially challenges his former master - Grand Master - to a match at BFC 78 for the throne of Castliex. Demon Godsend promises to expose Grand Master and cement himself as the only savior of Castilex.

* Castliex defeat the new make-shift tag team of Grand Master (1) & Exo-King (5) w NIGHTWATCH on Exo-King. **

Exo-King and Grand Master didn’t work well together here, getting out-classed by the veteran Castilex team. After the match, Grand Master accepts Demon Godsend’s challenge, admitting “I’ve still got a long way to go to save this planet. But I’ll never stop fighting.”

Tarval has been chasing Crust all over the arena all day. In catering, during photo shoots, during meet & greets with the fans and even during a private lecture by the Dark Menace, who was explaining the necessity of eugenics to a crowd of Aethran scientists. But so far, the mighty mutated mini has avoided the trapper’s net. Now Tarval chases Crust to the ring!

* Tarval the Trapper finally gets his man, grabbing Crust (2) in DEATH TRAP and refusing to let go. *

Tarval easily snags Crust in his net after the match. Crust flips around like a fish in the net as Tarval laughs and laughs. Tarval grabs Crust and mercifully throws him back, so to speak, freeing him from the net and tossing him out of the ring to be hunter again another day.

* Fist gets the the biggest W of his career since his (alleged) Cleansing, pinning Havoc (4) w WEAPONS. ***

Promoter note: No fluke here. Dominant singles W for Fist that propels him into serious singles title consideration.

* Siege (4) gets a distraction from the Dark Menace en route to defeating MONOLITH (5) w AETHRAN CRIPPLER. ****

It’s two huge singles victories for Fist & Siege after dropping two tag matches in a row to Gladiator Insurrection.

After the match, the Dark Menace makes it official. The war is over. The Gladiators have won. While Grand Master & Exo-King & Demon Godsend squabble over a tarnished crown and an abandoned throne covered in cobwebs, Siege, Fist & Apex continue to prove their superiority week after week. And at BFC 78 the Gladiators put the final nail in the coffins of their enemies when Siege & Fist finish MONOLITH & Havoc once and for all.

The Dark Menace announces the first ever CORVUS BEST TO TEN FALLS TAG TEAM TORTURE CHAMBER MATCH at BFC 78 pitting Gladiator Siege vs Gladiator Insurrection (losing wrestlers will roll one dice for length of injury x 3). “Hail Aethra!” says TDM.

MAIN EVENT

* GWF HEAVY METAL CHAMPION Apex crushes Orrus w APEX OF GLORY. **

Apex retains the GWF HEAVY METAL TITLE.

Quick results —

* Demon Godsend beats Death Knight.
* Castliex defeat Exo-King & Grand Master.
* Tarval the Trapper traps and releases Crust.
* Fist defeats Havoc w WEAPONS.
* Siege pins MONOLITH w AETHRAN CRIPPLER.
* GWF HEAVY METAL CHAMPION Apex pins Orrus w APEX OF GLORY to retain.

FIGHT CARD #1758/24/2138

🔆 GWF SPOTLIGHT! 🔆

Red Tower, Nebula, Mars (201,001)

The buzz: The Basilisk has leapt to the top of Deva’s Search For A New Vibe standings after rescuing her from Apex and gaining record ratings with his surprise return. All eyes on the Basilisk tonight when he goes one on one with another fighter in Deva’s top 5 - Zulfiqar!

But that’s not all - tonight Saber feels the heat of Deva’s spotlight! Win, and he’s stays alive in the Search For A New Vibe. Lose - and he is officially eliminated from the competition!

* The Rocket Men defeat Stallion & Splash (2) by countout when Astarte (1) spears Splash through the guardrails and he cannot make it back into the ring. * 1/2

* Workrate (1) pins Blur (3) again w SIX STAR SPLASH. **

After the match, Workrate is disappointed and frustrated that the match wasn’t better, and accuses the ref of a fast count against his opponent.

* Mr. Everything (3) pins Titan Power (4) w IMPRESSIVE. ****

Titan Power was trying to avenge the tomfoolery caused by MRE last week, but fails.

After the match, Deva comes out and tells Mr. Everything that she admires his determination. He’s no quitter. And that’s why she’s giving him one more chance to defeat FDF Tradition for the GWF Tag Team Titles — with Titan Power as his tag team partner.

Deva continues to push Titan Power - first teaming him with Saber (in a losing effort) and now with MRE in a reunion. “Win the GWF tag team titles and I promise you both a spot in the top 5.” says Deva.

Mr. Everything accepts. MRE & Titan Power get another shot at the tag belts at BFC 78.

* Burning Man (2) wins a TIRION TRIPLE THREAT MATCH to earn a shot at Tempest and the GWF INTERPLANETARY TITLE at BFC 78, defeating Istar (1) and Vacant, choking out Istar w EXHAUSTION (+2). ***

After the match, Tempest sneaks in the ring and dumps a bucket of water over the head of Burning Man from behind! Burning Man sizzles in embarrassment as Tempest retreats up the ramp, laughing.

* The Basilisk (3) defeats Zulfiqar (8) w a running tackle. **** 1/2

Deva watched the match from a distance, admiring the ferocity of her rescuer with every violent move he made.

* Pardon (4) defeats the Perfect Specimen (3) and HelSin (4) in a TIRION TRIPLE THREAT MATCH to earn a shot at the GWF GALACTIC CHAMPION at BFC 78, breaking up a pin by kicking HelSin in the head, then hitting Spec w CENTAURUS CRUCIFIX for the victory. **** 1/2

Deva celebrates with Pardon after the match. Deva says Pardon is on fire 🔥 and wishes him luck at BFC 78 against the GWF Champion.

Deva calls Saber out to the ring.

The giant screen displays the faces of everybody on the roster. There is a bright spotlight over each face. The spotlight is turned off on the faces of Tharkas, Faller, Count Necros, Epoch, Elina and Sinful. These wrestlers also have a big ❌ over them, indicating that they no longer wrestle in the GWF either.

Tonight Saber is fighting for his spotlight. Win, and it stays ON. Lose, and he is out of the Search For A New Vibe, and his light goes OUT.

Deva tells Saber he isn’t in danger of being exiled from the GWF - after all, he’s very entertaining - but he has not taken advantage of the opportunities Deva has given him under the spotlight. Deva will not tolerate disappointment. Lose tonight and Saber’s is out of the spotlight for good.

Deva introduces Saber’s opponent….

…

GWF GALACTIC CHAMPION, Shayne!

MAIN EVENT

* GWF GALACTIC CHAMPION Shayne defeats Saber (4) w EYE 4 EYE to retain the title. **

Saber gets rolled, perhaps overwhelmed by the huge situation. He sits in the middle of the ring, his face in his hands.

His spotlight is turned OFF as we fade to black.

Quick results —

* The Rocket Men defeat Stallion & Splash by count out.
* Workrate pins Blur w SIX STAR SPLASH.
* Mr. Everything pins Titan Power w IMPRESSIVE.

FIGHT CARD #1760/26/2138

💫 GWF SPOTLIGHT 💫

The Radiant Tree, Uranus (142,865)

The buzz: Deva has a brand new top 5 in the Search For A New Vibe! Plus, Mr. Everything and Titan Power are in the spotlight!

The show opens with Deva making an extravagant entrance, including performing her new hit single “Rescued” where she sings about her traumatic yet dramatic experience of being rescued from Apex by the Basilisk.

To nobody’s surprise, the Basilisk remains number 1 in Deva’s rankings.

The top 3 remains unchanged with GWF INTERPLANETARY CHAMPION Tempest holding strong at 2 and Zulfiqar staying out at 3. Deva appears more than entertained and satisfied with both.

The Perfect Specimen finds himself at 4 and he is not happy. All of the attention Deva was giving him, she on now giving the Basilisk. Spec has been replaced by the Basilisk as the apple of Deva’s eye and Spec isn’t happy about it.

Finally, at 5 is Titan Power. Titan Power had been sharing the 5th spot with Saber, but with Saber being eliminated, Titan Power sits at 5 all by himself now.

Deva announces that it is time to amp up the stakes in the Search For A New Vibe! Spotlights will begin to shine brighter on some wrestlers while others will see their spotlight turned OFF - and be eliminated! So, win, lose, or draw, everybody better impress!

Deva announces that beginning tonight, an 8 Man Immunity Tournament begins! The winner will receive immunity from elimination all the way through to the final round!

IMMUNITY TOURNAMENT ROUND 1

* Pardon defeats HelSin (3) w CENTAURUS CRUCIFIX. **

After the match, Deva tells HelSin she was wrong about him. He’s not New Vibe material. Deva says Pardon is the new hotness in monster hunters, and the only savior from evil the GWF needs!

Pardon cackles in agreement.

Deva tells turns Helsin’s spotlight OFF!

HelSin is out of the Search For A New Vibe!

HelSin is unmoved, never a willing or wanting participant in the Search For A New Vibe anyways. He jumps off the ring apron and exits up the ramp with little fanfare.

* GWF INTERPLANETARY CHAMPION Tempest (1) defeats Tarval the Trapper (4) w LOW TIDES. ***

After the match, Deva tells Tarval that he too is not New Vibe material. She says she isn’t sure Tarval even understands he was in a contest to begin with. Deva turns Tarval’s spotlight - OFF!

Deva is right, Tarval has no idea what’s going on. He shrugs and exits to the back.

* Orrus is pushing Istar around but he takes things too far outside of the ring and gets himself disqualified after a power bomb through a table leaves the ref no choice. **

Deva threatens to turn the spotlight on Orrus OFF when he pleads for mercy.

Deva says Evolved aren’t entertaining wrestlers, they’re dangerous bounty hunters obsessed with the Basilisk.

Orrus begs for another chance. Orrus says he has another obsession - Orrus says his goal is to put Merapis “on the map”, upset that Dimension X doesn’t acknowledge his home planet. Scientists in Dimension K have always contended that they simply cannot verify the existence of Merapis. Orrus calls them liars and vows to win the GWF GALACTIC TITLE, become the biggest star in the GWF — and force Dimension K to recognize Merapis.

Deva loves this evolution of Orrus, and spares him. His spotlight stays ON.

Meanwhile Tarval has no interest in any of this, hyper-focused on trapping opponents, no one more than the Basilisk.

* In the final round 1 match of the IMMUNITY TOURNAMENT, the Perfect Specimen (5) defeats the Basilisk (7) when the beast passes out in a supreme shoulder wrench. *****

After the match, Deva all of a sudden doesn’t seem too concerned about the Basilisk anymore, running into Spec’s arms and helping celebrate his hard-fought win.

Was Deva using the Basilisk to motivate Spec and make him jealous? Hard to say, but the two embrace in the middle in the ring under falling confetti in an elaborate, over-the-top celebration.

While all of this is going on somebody sneaks out and throws a net over the Basilisk - it’s Tarval! Tarval drags the Basilisk away to his ship while everyone is distracted by the spotlight being back on the Perfect Specimen.

Next week the IMMUNITY TOURNAMENT continues with Pardon vs Tempest & Istar vs the Perfect Specimen.

Deva continues to pit former FDF members against former Titans when Titan Samurai are granted a GWF TAG TEAM TITLE MATCH.

She claims “hero” vs “hero” matches like these were purposely kept from the fans when wrestlers were forced to identify as a hero or a villain. She says Commander Sam, Tharkas and Lord Nexus were old men out of touch with the now.

Out with the old and in with the New Vibe!

* History is made when Titan Samurai defeat FDF Tradition to win the GWF TAG TEAM TITLES when Azuma pins Tank (6) w TITAN DROP.

NEW GWF TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS - Titan Samurai (2).

It’s an end to one of the greatest tag title runs in recent history. The fans give FDF Tradition a standing ovation.

Azuma & Kenji celebrate their 2nd GWF TAG TEAM TITLE reign!

MAIN EVENT

* Titan Power (4) pins Mr. Everything (8) w HANGING JUDGE. *****

After losing to Titan Power, Deva shocks everybody by turning the spotlight on Mr. Everything UP - signifying him as a shining light in the Search For A New Vibe.

Deva says despite the losses piling up, Mr. Everything never gives up. He brings it every match. Deva admires the passion MRE has and says that kind of fire cannot be taught. You’re born with it. It’s a fire Deva shares with Mr. Everything.

“Most people would crack under the pressure of losing, but every week you pick yourself up, dust yourself off and try again.”

Mr. Everything stands in front of Deva, listening and nodding along with her interpretation of him.

Deva says Mr. Everything calls himself Mr. Everything because everything is what he desires. He is rich, he is showered with affection by women everywhere he goes, yet he remains unsatisfied without the success in the GWF he naturally craves.

“It’s as if it’s in your blood.” says Deva.

Deva tells both Titan Power & Mr. Everything that Lord Nexus & Commander Sam gave up on them both, never even giving them a chance - but Deva is nothing like Nexus & Sam - Deva believes in both Titan Power & Mr. Everything.

Deva says they have both succeeded in impressing Deva all year - she turns the spotlight on them both - UP!

Mr. Everything catapults into the top 5 along side of Titan Power in the Search For A New Vibe as we fade to black.

Quick results —

* Pardon pins HelSin. Helsin’s spotlight is turned OFF.
* Tempest defeats Tarval. Deva turns Tarval’s spotlight OFF.
* Istar beats Orrus by disqualification.
* Perfect Specimen defeats the Basilisk.
* Titan Samurai win the GWF TAG TEAM TITLES beating FDF Tradition w TITAN DROP.
* Titan Power defeats Mr. Everything w HANGING JUDGE. Deva catapults Mr. Everything into the top 5 of her Search For A New Vibe.

FIGHT CARD #1761/27/2138

💪 DOMINANCE 💪

Siege and Storm War Memorial (275,000)

The buzz: These are dark days on New Aethra with MONOLITH & Havoc defeating Siege & Fist in their feud and injuring both Gladiators in the process - Fist escaped with only minor injuries and will be out for only 3 fight cards while Siege suffered traumatic injuries and will be out for 15 fight cards.

Satisfied with their victory, Gladiator Insurrection agree to go their separate ways in search of singles stardom in the GWF.

In MONOLITH’s mind, his revenge against the Gladiators has been full-filled. He ran the Aethran Overmaster out of the GWF, and maimed Siege with a brutal injury. MONOLITH considers his feud with the Dark Menace to be over, and declares himself the winner.

Havoc is declaring victory over Aethra, too. But he’s doing it in a different way. With Siege out of the picture for a long time, the Aethran’s lose their strongest general.

This has weakened the Aethran army something terrible. Once a cohesive unit, the Aethran Soldiers have been breaking lots of rules without proper supervision - breaking curfew, sneaking ladies into camp at night and partying hard regularly. All things Siege banned under his rule. But with Siege out of the picture, Havoc has been stirring up the pot. Some Aethran Soldiers are even acting out and going AWOL, inspired by Havoc and his own war stories.

Can New Aethra continue to survive without their top general, or will Havoc lead a revolution from the inside out?

The show opens with a scene of Tarval’s space ship entering the ozone of New Aethra…

Murtak is in the middle of the ring. He says with Siege out of action, Murtak is prepared to lead the Aethran Army to victory both inside and outside of the ring. He proclaims himself the new Conqueror of Castilex, and the new general of the Aethran Army!

The pro Aethran fans are as amused as they are confused by Murtak’s declaration. Nobody can take him seriously.

Murtak is confronted by Grand Master! Grand Master comes down to the ring carrying what’s left of Demon Godsend’s crown of bones. He stomps them into dust at the feet of Murtak. Grand Master declares Castliex is free from the reign of the Gladiators, and once again the property of the natives of Castilex.

* Grand Master (1) survives a CONQUEROR’S FLAG to fight back and pin Murtak (1) w HERO’S JOURNEY. *

After the match, Grand Master says the people of Castliex can finally see a light at the end of the tunnel.

Grand Master says the Dark Menace still has a ton of political influence over Castilex, but that his power over the planet is beginning to weaken.

Grand Master says natives have been tearing down Aethran statues and replacing them with pro-Castilex symbols. Slowly the natives of Castliex begin to regain their planet from the rule of the Dark Menace.

Grand Master ends his passionate speech by saying Apex is a stark reminder of the power the Gladiators wield, but he is only one man.

“It will be awhile before the Gladiators can build their forces up again. Enjoy this victory.”

The Castilex fans in the crowd give Grand Master a roaring ovation!

There is serious commotion in the main throne room of the Dark Menace when Tarval arrives with the Basilisk trapped in an inescapable cosmic net!

Tarval throws the Basilisk at the feet of the Dark Menace, who is very pleased.

The Basilisk is tranquilized, barely conscious. His lifts his claws up at the Dark Menace but lacks the energy to do anything else.

The Dark Menace contacts someone on his wrist transmitter. “He’s here. Bring the space credits. I’ll be waiting.”

The Dark Menace ends his conversation with whoever he was speaking to. He turns his attention to Tarval.

The Dark Menace rewards Tarval for bringing him the Basilisk by offering him a spot on the Gladiators - temporarily of course - while Siege heals from his injuries. The Dark Menace offers Tarval the opportunity of a lifetime - a chance to capture the most elusive beast in the galaxy - MONOLITH.

Tarval’s eyes open wide with the idea of capturing the famous MONOLITH in his cosmic net!

* Castilex (w Vizir the Elder) defeat Royal Uprising w CASTILEX CUTTER COMBO on Death Knight. **

With the Gladiators seemingly losing power on Castilex, Exo-King & Vizir jockey to control the politics of the planet moving forward, and tonight is a W for Vizir and the Foundation.

We’re back in the throne room of the Dark Menace, who is teetering between amused and annoyed by everybody declaring the Aethrans defeated.

“They’ll have to drag me off of this rotten planet!” declares TDM.

The Dark Menace is stressed out and needs to relax. He orders some Aethran Soldiers to fetch GWF HEAVY METAL CHAMPION, Apex, a new challenger.

Opponents are now force fed to Apex as the Dark Menace chooses weak challengers to appease his appetite with a HEAVY METAL TITLE MATCHES.

Making the situation even scarier, Apex now eats, sleeps and lives inside a COSMIC CAGE located beneath the throne of the Dark Menace, waiting for his next opponent like he’s a giant Rancor monster waiting for its next meal.

The Aethran Soldiers return with Mayham. Mayham was told he was invited to lunch with the Dark Menace. Mayham was lied to.

The Dark Menace presses a button on his throne, exposing the COSMIC CAGE beneath him! The Soldiers shove Mayham into the cage!

Mayham squeals in terror as Apex emerges from the shadows.

* Apex pins Mayham (2) w APEX OF GLORY in a COSMIC CAGE MATCH to retain the GWF HEAVY METAL TITLE. *

After the match, a figure enters the throne room, escorted by Aethran Soldiers. - it is Vizir the Elder. The Dark Menace and Vizir complete a transaction for 10 million space credits. The Dark Menace hands the Basilisk over to Vizir. Vizir chains the Basilsk and declares him his Castliex Slave!

Vizir leaves with the Basilisk, enslaved in chains.

* Havoc defeats Demon Godsend (3) w TYRANT NIGHTMARE.

After Havoc leaves the ring, a hooded figure enters the ring and pounces on Demon Godsend -

It’s Zulfiqar!

Zulfiqar locks Demon Godsend in CRY “NINKARAK” as the Demon wails in pain.

Back in the Dark Menace’s throne room, Apex is just getting warmed up. The Dark Menace calls for more challengers.

A few minutes later Aethran Soldiers return with the Natives of Castilex, Krud and Ygorr!

Ygorr fights off his Aethran Soldier and makes a run for it! But Krud cannot escape, and he is tossed into the COSMIC CAGE where Apex awaits.

* GWF HEAVY METAL CHAMPION Apex destroys Krud (1) w APEX OF GLORY to retain the title. *

MAIN EVENT

* Tarval the Trapper (1) stuns MONOLITH, coming off the ropes and blasting the big AniMan with some kind of concealed taser. It’s enough to stun MONOLITH, setting up DEATH TRAP and it’s over! **

Tarval adds insult to injury by trapping MONOLITH in his cosmic net, standing over MONOLITH with one foot and takes a trophy selfie!

After a few minutes, a humiliated MONOLITH wakes up and tears the net to shreds!

The show ends with a scene of New Aethra at the main gate.

The main gate lifts revealing the silhouetted figure of GWF GALACTIC CHAMPION Shayne. He is clad in a black from head to toe. Shayne strides purposefully into the hallway. Two Aethran Soldiers move to block Shayne’s path. Shayne halts.

Shayne raises his whip and cracks it in the direction of the soldiers, instantly disarming them. The soldiers fall back into the darkness allowing Shayne to move toward the Dark Menace’s throne room as we fade to black.

Quick results —

* Grand Master pins Murtak.
* Castilex defeat Royal Uprising.
* GWF HEAVY METAL CHAMPION Apex defeats Mayham in a COSMIC CAGE MATCH.
* Havoc pins Demon Godsend w TYRANT NIGHTMARE.
* GWF HEAVY METAL CHAMPION Apex destroys Krud in a COSMIC CAGE MATCH.

💫 GWF SPOTLIGHT 💫

Corner of Tomorrow, Adhara (137, 900)

The buzz: The Search For A New Vibe heats up big time! Spotlights are being turned OFF as Deva inches closer to naming her finalists!

The show opens with a giant spotlight on Deva and her crew, sitting in a luxury balcony. She is surrounded by her handsome security team. Standing behind her is a figure black from head to toe. He is unrecognizable and does not move.

Deva is excited to announced her new Top 5!

1 - The Perfect Specimen (4). Spec vaults back into the top spot after defeating the Basilisk last week.

Notable omissions -

the Basilisk (1) - “He’s too angry!” says Deva. “I’ll always be thankful he inspired me to write and produce another hit single - Rescued - but the Basilisk is not New Vibe material.” the Commissioner explains. “I was wrong about him. I have the confidence to admit that.” she adds.

A wrestler trying to earn a brighter spotlight is Orrus! The monster from Merapis heads to the ring for our opener.

*** Breaking News ***

THE WAR IS OVER!

Fans wake up to incredible news that the Dark Menace has begun pulling troops off of Castliex!

You read that right! The Aethrans are retreating from Castliex.

The War On Castliex Is Over!

The after effects of the history changing W by MONOLITH & Havoc continue to send shock waves through the entire galaxy! With Siege & Fist defeated and injured, the Aethran Army has lost its powerful grip over the Castliex natives. Rioters have filled the streets, overwhelming Aethran troops. The Dark Menace’s throne room being stormed upon and overtaken by protesters was the final straw.

But the Dark Menace and the Gladiators definitely are not treating this like a defeat or a retreat.

Not at all. In fact, the Dark Menace is calling it a VICTORY LAP.

“Godsend is gone and he’s not coming back. We won. We proved our point.” says Menace.

But what about New Aethra?

“Castliex is a shit hole.” explains the Dark Menace. “It’s a fly-over planet.” he adds. “The land is so poor and polluted not even the most advanced technologies in the galaxy could turn that swamp into fertile territory”

“It’s perfect for rotting creatures like the Natives and the Basilisk. But it’s no place to call home for war heroes.”

With that, the Dark Menace and the Gladiators exit Castliex, headed home to Aethra.

The future of Castliex has yet to be determined.

Stay tuned for our next fight card as this breaking news story develops.

The Ruins of Castliex (Formerly New Aethra) (275,000)

The buzz: Fans everywhere are collectively celebrating as the Dark Menace and (what’s left of) the Gladiators have officially prepared to leave Castliex. Tonight is their last appearance on the planet before their departure.

In front of cameras and on solar media, the Dark Menace is treating this like a victory, and a return of the planet to the people of Castliex. “We freed them from the grips of Godsend. We won. And we liberated the planet. We are the good guys. We are the heroes.” he says.

But behind the scenes and back on Aethra, the tune is very different. The feeling on Aethra is that this is a rare loss for the Gladiators in the GWF, and the Dark Menace is to blame.

In response, the Aethrans have demanded that a search for a New Aethran Minister of War begin effective immediately.

The Dark Menace continues to ignore the voices of the opposition and continues to claim nothing has changed.

“Those are just conspiracy theories.” he explains. “Nobody is asking for a Minister of War.”

The show opens with a packed ring.

Everybody is lining up to stake their claim as the new leader of Castliex with the Dark Menace being run off the planet.

Vizir the Elder stands in one corner with his army; Sentinel, Moog and the Castliex slave, the Basilisk, who was lead to the ring in heavy chains by Moog.

Vizir proclaims himself the new leader of Castliex!

He hears some cheers from the packed arena full of various forms of Castliex natives, but mostly boos

Exo-King, Death Knight & Havoc stand in the opposing corner.

Exo-King is challenging Vizir for political power over Castliex. The native fans of Castliex roar in approval for Exo-King, who is much more popular than Vizir.

There is a big stand-off between the two teams when it is finally decided that Vizir will sick the Basilisk on Exo-King later tonight!

* Havoc (1) crushes Mayham’s skull w TYRANT NIGHTMARE. *

* Zulfiqar dominates Demon Godsend (5) and finishes him w CRY “NINKARAK”. ***

After the match, Zulfiqar ties the demon by his feet with a rope and drags Demon Godsend away using his horse.

* Exo-King defeats the Basilisk (2) w DEATH VISE (+3).

It’s a defining victory for Exo-King.

* MONOLITH (2) gets revenge on Tarval (5) pinning the Trapper w CATASTROPHE. ***

The Dark Menace is preparing his ship to leave Castliex. He gives Apex his marching orders.

The Dark Menace is blaming Shayne for leading the protests against New Aethra by opening the main gate, allowing for the invasion of thousands of Castliex natives. TDM blames Shayne for leading the revolution against his throne.

Now the GWF GALACTIC CHAMPION must pay the consequences.

MAIN EVENT

* The Gladiators are dealt one final death blow when Shayne (2) defeats Apex (3) after EYE 4 EYE in a COSMIC CAGE MATCH to capture the GWF HEAVY METAL TITLE. ****

The double champion celebrates in the ring as the Dark Menace & Apex exit Castliex for good as we fade to black.

Quick results —

* Havoc pins Mayham.
* Zulfiqar submits Demon Godsend.
* Exo-King defeats the Basilisk w DEATH VISE (+3).
* MONOLITH pins Tarval w CATASTROPHE.
* Shayne wins the GWF HEAVY METAL TITLE pinning Apex w EYE 4 EYE in a COSMIC CAGE MATCH.

FIGHT CARD #1765/30/2128

💫 GWF SPOTLIGHT 💫
❌ ELIMINATION ROUND! ❌

The Horrorscope, Messier 81 (167,000)

The buzz: It’s cutthroat time in the Search For A New Vibe! Tonight several spotlights will either be turned UP! - indicating a wrestle has advanced to the next round, and closer to the Finals - or OFF! - and officially eliminated from the contest!

Deva sits in her luxury box surrounded by her security team. The black figure we met last week stands behind her again. He is still, without any movement or expression.

Joining Deva this week in her luxury box are the current wrestlers in the Top 5, and who have automatically advanced past the next round; The Perfect Specimen, GWF INTERPLANETARY CHAMPION Tempest, Zulfiqar, Power Is Everything (Titan Power & Mr. Everything) & Pardon. They have all been invited as VIP members to witness tonight’s matches live with Deva.

WOMENS SPOTLIGHT GAUNTLET MATCH

* Scorn looks powerful rolling over Moonlight (4) w WESTERN LASSO. **

Deva tells Moonlight she sees a ton of potential - in Pardon. Not so much with Moonlight.

Deva turns the spotlight on Moonlight OFF!

Moonlight is enraged when Pardon just shrugs at the news. She threatens both him & Deva with ABSOLUTE PARDON as she is escorted away by security forces.

* Hyla (5) makes an incredible comeback to defeat Scorn (3) w LOW TIDES. ****

Deva tells Scorn she will have to decide between Shayne and the New Vibe. Deva turns the spotlight on Scorn UP!

Scorn leaves after her loss with a lot to think about.

* Taichi (2) submits Hyla (2) w ARM TRIANGLE. **

The fans love the spirit in Hyla, but Deva doesn’t see it. Like with Moonlight & Pardon, Deva separates Hyla from Tempest by turning the spotlight on Hyla OFF!

Tempest is cold and casual, wishing his sister well on her future endeavors, which gives Pardon a chuckle.

* Taichi submits Kralla (2) w ARM TRIANGLE. *

Deva says Kralla is a strong woman, and Deva admires her. But she sees what Istar means when he says not all Ravagers are the same. Thralla reminds Deva more Istar than that filthy jerk, Tharkas.

Deva turns the spotlight on Thralla UP!

Thralla is taken surprise by Deva’s compliment and nods toward the commissioner as a show of thanks.

* Catfight is the final entrant in the gauntlet and she wins it at pinning Taichi (3) w FELINE FURY (+6). ***

After the match, Deva says there is a lot to like about Catfight - She is a great athlete who puts on an entertaining performance with Maggie in every match - and like Spec - she comes from a different universe, making her unique. Deva turns the spotlight on our winner - UP!

But Deva cannot say the same for Taichi, sadly. Deva turns the spotlight on Taichi OFF!

Deva says Taichi is a pretty good wrestler but lacks in personality. She turns to Spec and asks if Taichi should be sparred or if her time in the GWF should finally be up?

After a few tense seconds, Spec puts on his sunglasses and turns away from Taichi.

Deva puts a stamp on the career of Taichi with one final ❌.

Taichi is escorted out of the arena and the GWF by Deva’s security.

Deva appears to have an agenda, driving wedges between four (former) couples in the GWF.

* Blur pins Workrate (2) w BLURRING LARIAT. **

After the match Workrate is more upset than ever. He accuses Deva is hating “real wrestling” by sabotaging his matches. He is convinced the refs are using fast counts to kill his star ratings.

Deva tells Workrate that pro wrestling is about more than workrate, it’s about being entertained. And nothing is less entertaining than arguing with some jerk about star ratings.

Deva turns the spotlight on Workrate OFF!

Workrate throws a huge fit and needs to be dragged away by Deva’s security force.

Deva isn’t sure what to make of Blur. He’s a fan favorite, but can she make a star out of a wrestler who people can’t really see most of the time? Deva doesn’t know, but she listens to her fans. So the spotlight on Blur gets turned UP!

* Splash uses FLIGHT OF THE FALLEN to pin Astarte (3) w Sonny Rocket. **

Not even Sonny’s outside interference is enough to save Astarte, and it proves costly.

Deva says Sonny has put in a good word in for Astarte with her - but she fails to see what Sonny sees.

Deva turns the spotlight on Astarte - OFF!

This humiliates Sonny Rocket, who takes it out on Astarte. Sonny pokes Astarte in the chest and calls him a big dumb ass! Sonny says Astarte should be embarrassed for ruining the honorable name of Sonny Rocket!

Astarte has had enough! He slugs Sonny right in the face!

Astarte turns on his tag team partner, Sonny Rocket, breaking up the Rocket Men.

Astarte turns to Deva and says he only fights for one name - the name of Astarte.

* Stallion (1) pins Vacant (3) w LUCKY HORSESHOE in a TITAN DEATH MATCH. *** 1/2

Deva turns the spotlight on Vacant OFF! and the spotlight on Stallion UP!

Stallion with a clutch win that earns him a spot in the next round of the Search For A New Vibe.

* Orrus throws everything at Istar (7) but the young Centran refused to stay down until he finally succumbs to one final, merciful UNSTOPPABLE SLAM. ****

Deva turns the spotlights UP! on both Orrus & Istar.

Orrus is showing new life evolving from a skilled bounty hunter into an even more skilled galactic professional wrestler. Orrus is adamant about becoming the first Merapis superstar in the GWF.

Meanwhile Istar is a young and exciting wrestler who brings a breath of fresh air to the Ravager legacy.

Deva likes them both very much, and happy to see both advance to the next round.

MAIN EVENT

* Bloody Marry (4) fights back to earn a victory on her home planet beating Witch (2) w UNHOLY MATRIMONY. ****

Deva says she is looking for at least one star woman wrestler on the New Vibe - maybe two. She likes what she sees from both Marry & Witch. The spotlights on both are turned UP!

Deva makes a grand announcement! All the wrestlers who had their spotlights turned UP! tonight are to report IMMEDIATELY to the Deimos Intergalactic Arena for our next fight card — GALACTAMANIA! - where the next round of the Search For A New Vibe will continue!

An angry Bloody Marry pulls a mesmerized Small Paul away from the direction of Witch as we fade to black.

Quick results -

* Catfight wins a WOMENS GAUNTLET MATCH.
* Blur pins Workrate.
* Splash pins Astarte.
* Stallion pins Vacant in a TITAN DEATH MATCH.
* Orrus pins Istar w UNSTOPPABLE SLAM.
* Bloody Marry pins Witch w UNHOLY MATRIMONY.

Deimos Intergalactic Arena, Mars (293,000)

🎭 OPENING ACTS! 🎭

The buzz: It’s Night Before The Super Card Extravaganza Of The Year - GALACTAMANIA 2138! Time for the OPENING ACTS!

Deva kicks off OPENING ACTS in style with an exciting concert, performing tracks from this years official GALACTAMANIA soundtrack.

She begins the show in the middle of the ring, and says it’s time to get down to business. It’s what everybody has been waiting for - the FINAL ELIMINATION ROUND in the Search For A New Vibe!

Tonight, Deva will be offering wrestlers exclusive contract deals to officially join THE NEW VIBE - under special circumstances - TBA at the time of the offer. Will they sign on the dotted line and allow Deva to guide their careers?

Other wrestlers will not be offered contracts, and be eliminated.

The Spotlight has never burned brighter!

Note: Wrestlers who agree to sign a contract with Deva will join her current top 5 in the Final Round where one male wrestler, one female wrestler & one tag team will be crowned the winners of the New Vibe contest, and earn an array of prizes included GWF title shots and more.

Deva takes a seat perched high above the arena in her luxury suite, guarded by her back up dancers/security guards. The mysterious motionless black figure we’ve seen with Deva the last few weeks stands behind her.

TIRION TRIPLE THREAT MATCH
SCORN vs. CATFIGHT vs. KRALLA

The buzz: Win, lose or draw, it’s time to impress Deva!

* Kralla (3) defeats Catfight (2) & Scorn (4) pinning Catfight w VILLAINESS BRAINBUSTER. ***

After the match, Deva turns the spotlight on Catfight OFF!

And offers contracts to both Kralla & Scorn!

Deva tells Kralla she has big plans for her that will be unveiled soon. Kralla signs the contract!

Kralla officially joins the NEW VIBE and advances to the FINAL ROUND.

The fans are nervous with anticipation as Scorn debates her decision. Deva says it should be an easy decision. Scorn should look in the mirror. She looks ridiculous. She looks like a silly Shayne fan girl. “Yuck!” says Deva. Deva encourages Scorn to dump the cowgirl look and to dump Shayne, too.

Scorn is having none if it! She throws the contract to the mat, pulls out her whip and smacks the contract out of the ring!

Scorn rejects Deva’s offer to join the New Vibe!

ORRUS THE UNSTOPPABLE vs. ISTAR

The buzz: Orrus has been beating up Istar for weeks, but the young Ravager with inspiring fighting spirit keeps coming back for more. Tonight they face off one more time with everything on the line.

* Orrus overpowers Istar (4) w UNSTOPPABLE SLAM. **

After the match, Deva continues to show heavy interest in both Orrus & Istar when she offers them both contracts — but like with Kralla - there are special circumstances they must agree to before signing - Orrus is adamant about becoming the first GWF superstar from Merapis, and is more than happy to sign his new deal as an official member of the NEW VIBE.

Istar pauses, takes a deep breath, and decides to put his future in the hands of Deva, too. Istar signs his contract.

Deva is very pleased. All of a sudden out comes Kralla again. Kralla joins Orrus & Istar in the ring.

Deva welcomes all three to the NEW VIBE.

In dramatic fashion, Deva announces that Orrus & Istar will be the next great tag team in the GWF, naming them Out Of This World.

Deva explains how Out Of This World represents both Merapis & Centra existing outside of Dimension K. And it represents the awesome potential Orrus & Istar have as a classic power wrestler/agile wrestler tag team.

Deva announced that Kralla will be the official women’s wrestling star of Out Of This World, as well as accompanying Orrus & Istar to the ring for their matches.

Out Of This World celebrate their new direction in the GWF as part of the NEW VIBE!

BLOODY MARRY vs. WITCH

The buzz: Former tag team partners go one on one again with official spots on THE NEW VIBE up for grabs!

* Bloody Marry looks like a super beast, squashing Witch (2) w UNHOLY MATRIMONY. *

After the match, Deva says Bloody Marry is rough around the edges, but not rough that she can’t be molded into a super star with Deva’s star power pushing her. Deva says Bloody Marry’s best shot at defeating the Gladiators is with Deva in her corner, and offers Bloody Marry a contract.

Bloody Marry uses her own blood to sign the contract.

Deva says she can’t shake the warm feeling she gets every time Witch is around. It’s a feeling Deva can get used to.

Deva tells Witch that her magnetic personality is perfect for THE NEW VIBE, and offers her a contract, too.

Witch smiles, retuning Deva’s affections, and signs the contract.

Deva is very happy with the decisions of both Bloody Marry and Witch, telling them she has big and immediate plans for them both.

TIRION TRIPLE THREAT MATCH
STALLION vs. BLUR vs. SPLASH

MAIN EVENT

Stallion (3) pins Splash (3) w LUCKY HORSESHOE after breaking up a pin on Blur (6) after FLIGHT OF THE FALLEN. ****

After the match, Deva offers contracts to Stallion & Splash, but tells Blur she “just doesn’t see it” in him yet. Deva offers Blur good luck as an exciting member of the GWF roster, but turns his spotlight OFF!

Deva tells Splash he is everything the New Vibe represents - youth, style and loud, colorful entertainment! Splash thanks Deva for her offer —- but he declined to sign the contract!

Splash thanks Deva for the opportunity — but Splash says he is his own man and that he will make a splash in the GWF on his own, his way.

Deva says Splash is young and naive to think he can get to heights as high as he wants to get in the GWF without Deva. Deva warns Splash that he is making a huge career mistake.

Splash sticks by his decision and promises to prove Deva wrong!

Deva turns to her attention to Stallion and warns him he better not decline her invitation to the NEW VIBE if Stallion knows what’s best for him.

Stallion is thrilled to sign his contract, and can’t wait to begin enjoying the fringe benefits that come with being a member of the NEW VIBE!

Stallion doesn’t have to wait long when Witch struts out to the ring. Witch stands face to face with Stallion, sending sexual energy in every direction. Fans are beginning to get a little warm…

Witch and Stallion engage in a deep and romantic kiss 💋 in the middle of the ring.

Deva welcomes both to the NEW VIBE and introduces the GWF to the Galaxy’s Sexiest Couple - Climax!

The show ends with Climax making out in the middle of the ring as we fade to black.
