CARD 1148 – FRIDAY NIGHT FURY – CENTRA PALLADIUM:
Sir Ender interupts the show midway. He proudly announces that he has saved Mutant and gives a click of the fingers. At this point Mutant comes running wildly through the curtain having been released by handlers. Looks like it might actually attack him. Sir Ender placates it by throwing him a bag containing animal parts. He then gets a noose round its neck to lead it off. All very odd. Something smells fishy and I’m not talking about the food that was thrown.
Heavyweight champ, Pegasus, staves off the challenge of Thunder. Rumour is that if the Gladiators manage to get the belt onto Thunder they will resort to gang attacks any time he is threatened to keep it on him long as possible. DM on commentary “if that’s their plan to keep the gold, it is going to be tough to get it off him. I hope Pegasus can stop it coming to that”. The crowd doesn’t share in that support. Many of them still angry at Pegasus and refusing to cheer him even if it means the gold transfers to a Gladiator. I suppose it means the likes of Genocide, Corporal Aegis or Max Shield can step forward and challenge more easily that way as Thunder would potentially be a transitional champ in their eyes. Anyway Pegasus strides out confidently to the waiting Thunder and is proudly wearing the belt. He is experienced to block out the negative sounds. Behind him Commando Sam tries to lift them. He’s not getting much response though. On spotting Brute over the other side Sam wags a warning finger and shouts “don’t think about getting involved unless you want me to deal with”. Sam always tries to let his guys wrestle on their own but the minute any opponent pulls a dastardly act all bets are off. In his interpretation of the code it’s okay to fight fire with fire. Pegasus gives up his belt and tries to head up the steps into the ring. Thunder gives him a helping hand by aggressively pulling him by the hair. Pegasus powerfully pushes him off and gets his composure. His experience helps a lot as he knows Thunder is famed for high intensity starts and the more he can slow things down at the start the better. Although there is a massive distraction as Sam and Brute quickly clash. It’s more a case of Brute seeking him out and ends badly for Sam because he was laid out by the Aethran Casque. Sam laid there for a while until medics risk getting caught in crossfire to help him. They lead Sam, who is bleeding from his mostly bald head and looking groggy, away to be treated. Pegasus presses on regardless but things like that can get into anyone’s head. Pegasus was able to maintain a high level of wrestling though. The Gladiators are going to great lengths to try and make Thunder the Heavyweight champion. However he just doesn’t look quite ready as he struggles to match Pegasus throughout the whole match up. He was having quite a few pin attempts against him whilst he only had one himself. Brute is measured in what he does from the outside. He knows a DQ will do no good here. Although as Thunder picked up a fourth token he did try and enter the ring. I resisted using the bespoke stats on the back of his card as the DQ risk is too high. Pegasus was easily able to deal with Brute and carry on at L3O. The next dice roll comes up with PROJECT PEGASUS. The big finisher finally deployed and it now looks grim for Thunder. He needed a high roll of 11 or 12 to continue and it’s no surprise it comes up short. Pegasus keeps the title and seemed to of won portions of the crowd over by the end of this bout. In adversity he had come through this defence and kept the Gladiators at bay. He’s just such an unbelievable wrestler and it takes a one hell of a performance to beat him. What now for Thunder? He’s been very disappointing this year. Has had chances to shine and been given plenty of pushes. He will get pushed again for sure. For now he might have to accept Vengeance represents the better chance of winning the Heavyweight belt. Thunder will have to try and build a little winning run to repair his ranking. Of course TEAM SUPREME is looming and good performances in that can accelerate the process.
Ladies champ, Sniper, managed to beat Thrash by DQ. Sniper’s prematch interview raises some eyebrows as the subject of a possible relationship with Tough Guy comes up. She gives a rare smile on hearing his name and simply says “he’s just a delight”. Suddenly from the side she is struck down as Thrash gives her a little taster of what’s to come “your little love affair makes me sick, you don’t deserve to be a champion”. Thrash fires off a few kicks and Sniper can be heard yelping off camera. Back in the arena Thrash aggressively stomps through the curtains to meet her call. Most of the crowd have no idea what just happened. They get confused when Sniper comes out next visibly hobbling. Did Anaxis get to her or had she clashed with Thrash? It remains a mystery but eveyone watching at home knew what happened and would be hoping Sniper could pull herself together and keep her incredible title reign going. Thrash expedited Sniper’s arrival by meeting her in the runway. Sniper was frogmarched towards the ring. However it’s immediately clear Thrash is running a DQ tightrope. She’s being way too aggressive in her desperation to win. It only gets worse when she realises Sniper is not as hurt from earlier as she’d hoped. Thrash missing a deathjump increased the rage within her. It caused her to throw Sniper outside the ring and attack her with a chair. The ref immediately calls for the bell. Thrash rages at him claiming this is a Titan Death match. Of course that is completely wrong. The poor guy quivers as she then removes a spike from her shoulder pads that are sitting on the floor. Luckily for him security is one step ahead and forms a barrier between them before any damage is done. Thrash gives up and decides to try and rough Sniper up some more but the champ has slipped away during all of this and is probably safely back in the arms of Tough Guy.
Genocide mauled Mandrill. He’s back! Genocide wants to inflict maximum punishment on Mandrill as revenge for costing him the belt. It doesn’t take much to get Genocide hyped up. Even a fly buzzing too close by. He was wrestling like a madman. Just the mere sight of Mandrill opened the floodgates. Mandrill looked pretty worried and attempts to get outside and arms himself with a chair. Stops short of using it as he knows a DQ loss will do him no good. Genocide isn’t backing off though. Eventually Mandrill discards the chair and resigns himself to having to engage. He swiftly gets back into the ring and attempts to drop an elbow on Genocide who is sliding back in under the ropes. It does little to slow Genocide down. He’s like a man possessed and aside from the briefest of periods had all the offence. Eventually after delivering station to station head into buckles Genocide lets go of Mandrill who comically walks a few steps and then falls forwards flat on his face before getting pinned. Genocide gets a big ovation for the way he’d dismantled Mandrill only he doesn’t get much chance to bask in their adulation. Sentry was feeling the heat as he’d failed miserably in his distraction to save Mandrill. He whips out a weapon and Genocide backs off. This thing looks like it might be a tad more dangerous than the usual stun gun we see. For the first time ever Genocide shows a look that was akin to fear. Sentry keeps the gun pointed whilst slapping Mandrill into consciousness. Mandrill finally gets up and pushes Sentry away whilst calling him a “useless piece of sh*t”. He then takes possession of the weapon and addresses the crowd “you will all be my slaves in time, matches like this are just delaying the inevitable”. He then fires the weapon at the ceiling. A laser beam burns right through exposing the night sky through a large hole. Mandrill might have been humiliated by losing but the message is still the same and perhaps he had injected even more fear by showing he is prepared to fire off dangerous weapons in such a public place. The ROC has plenty more work to in 2111.
Anarchy beats Archon after a long tussle. Things change fast in wrestling and Archon is man of the moment on the Centaurians whilst Wolf is injured after losing to Anarchy in a Torture Chamber match. Archon is a realistic man and has never seen himself as Heavyweight belt material. However he might think differently after going to the last two in the battle royal to fill its vacancy. Beating the enemy in this match could and should keep him among the top contenders for it. The same carrot is being dangled for Anarchy though after his big win on the same night. Lorelei tried to offer an olive branch to Archon by being at ringside just to help keep Maleph at bay. Archon goes ape at the very suggestion and orders her out of his sight. That anger with Lorelei seemed to drive Archon on as he totally dominates. This goes on for a long time and he was pulling out loads of submission moves on Anarchy. It’s probably not super entertaining for the fans to watch this style but they are right behind him. Problem is Anarchy just refuses to quit. Gradually Anarchy gets more into things and despite the punishment on his limbs manages to turn things around. He was getting lots of counters and maybe Archon shouldn’t off stubbornly kept trying the same move as it wasn’t working. Anarchy starts to deliver a lot of atomic drops and then takes a huge risk with a suicide dive off the turnbuckle. It has the desired effect as it wipes Archon out and brings the curtain down.
Spike defeated Paragon by DQ. Every time Spike wrestles the announcing team speculate this maybe his last match and they are doing it again. If it is to be it’s a hell of an opponent to sign off against. It’s not the greatest of matches but despite there being no finishers they were busting out some pretty big moves. The action then strayed from the ring where a brawl broke out amid which Paragon grabbed Johnny Rocket’s mic and smashed Spike with it. That drew the DQ. Spike came out still looking as strong as he did all those years ago when he first entered the GWF. Taking the hit and barely flinching. Paragon didn’t deliver any more blows. Seemed to accept the decision and left. It was almost as if there was a kind of silent respect.
Code Enforcers wins in a long match over Cygnus Strikeforce. Not a natural side feud on the face of it but you have to remember who the managers are. It brings Mangus and Commando Sam into conflict. Sam is also very keen to keep pushing the Code Enforcers in tag matches. Perhaps because he doesn’t have total faith in Desolation Factor. There was not actually too much external conflict between the two managers as it happened. I’m sure if Cygnus Strikeforce had won it might have been different. Instead the Code Enforcers prevail after a long battle. It looked like it might be a walkover especially after US. Traitor comically tried to mix it power wise with Manslaughter in a shoving match. There was only going to be one winner there. Despite a bad start Cygnus Strikeforce dug in. They took quite a bombardment but did have their moments too. In the end Manslaughter beat Maelstrom with HEADS WILL ROLL. At this point Maelstrom had 9 fatigue tokens so he was running on empty. This had followed a period where he had received CODE CROWBAR three times in quick succession.
Third Planet over Lethal Lottery by DQ. Third Planet looking the much sharper team in this one. Mike Fortune looks likely to pin Splatter so the Terrorists get involved with one jumping on the apron to distract the ref whilst the other struck Fortune with a billy club. The distraction fails and the ref sees it happen. Third Planet is angry the victory was downgraded from pin to DQ and at Krakan’s behest seek revenge. Tough Guy quickly gets a chair and wipes both of the Terrorists out. Vyper wasn’t spared either. The billy club used on Mike Fortune goes loose. Tough Guy gets it and uses it to injure Splatter for 2 cards. Maybe he feels the noose tightening round his neck and did this to try and win back brownie points with Krakan.
Enigma overcomes Grovel. Poor Enigma. He’d started life on Centra so well and was set to possibly become the star of the Rocket Men. Now he finds himself curtain jerking against Grovel and knowing he is likely not to be selected for TEAM SUPREME by Johnny Rocket. Plus he has a bit of trouble winning this one although he’s not the first to struggle with Grovel. The match included a very long ref bump and Enigma missing ENIGMA SUICIDA. Eventually Enigma did get it won by way of a Shooting Star Blast.

GWFC REPORT (THE END 2110 CARDS 1145 - 1148)
Champions
* GWFC Heavyweight Champ: Pegasus (Top Contender: Vengeance/Anarchy) * GWFC Tag Champs: Twin Blood (Top Contenders: Rebel Empire/Ninja Assassins) * GWFC Centra Champ: Mayhem (Top Contender: Archon) * GWFC Ladies Champ: Sniper (Top Contender: Taechon)
Latest News:
The Sir Ender angle is exposed. His claims that Mutant was kidnapped and being held for ransom and that he saves the day by liberating the beast are nonsense. His elaborate scheme quickly gets found out after footage of him luring Mutant to the back of a hover van with food are exposed. Not sure what Sir Ender was trying to achieve. We all know he is desperate for attention but making potential enemies of the Terrorists is not a smart career move. Sir Ender doesn’t care though and comically proclaims “I want to be a role model for all of Centra by what I do in and out of the ring. Make what you like of what happened with Mutant. The important message is that I am a template for success”.
Corporal Aegis is not licking his wounds after his heavy loss to Vengeance. Instead he has made a couple of bold promises to the people of Centra. First is that next year he will win belt gold. He says it was always going to be difficult this year as he got to grips with wrestling but he now knows he has the capabilities to do it. Secondly is that he vows to get to the bottom of the strange disturbances on Antilia. He will work with the scientists to fully understand what is happening and meet whatever threat emerges head on. Fair play to him for being so open. Let’s just hope he is not setting himself up for a big fall.
Despite big wins for Vengeance and Mayhem it was a frustrating month for the Gladiators. They had title shots at all 4 belts. Only one of these was won. Their return to form and imminent domination has stalled. The biggest disappointment was of course Thunder not being able to live with Pegasus and coming up short in a big match again! At least they’ll possibly get another crack at the Heavyweight belt because Vengeance is the now the new joint top contender. It’s probably not exactly what Brute wants as Thunder is the chosen one but if Vengeance does win it then he’ll take it.
That leads us nicely into a quick rundown on all the champions as we go into the last month of 2110. Obviously the biggest buzz surrounds the Heavyweight belt and this is being held by Pegasus. As mentioned previously Gladiator interest in this still remains because Vengeance is the new joint top contender with Anarchy. Commissioner Morpheus has said they will face each other for the right to challenge Pegasus. Another uncertain division is the tag team one. Twin Blood looks unbeatable and the one team that seems like they might have a chance of beating them, Titan Attack, is being held back. Morpheus has decided the next challengers will be Rebel Empire or the Ninja Assassins. Again he just couldn’t decide between them so has ruled that they must face off in a top contenders match too. For the Centra belt Code Enforcer Manslaughter finally dropped the belt. It’s unlikely he will go back after Mayhem to try and win it back. At least not the foreseeable future. He will be watching how the Heavyweight title picture plays out. Obviously he won’t consider challenging until Pegasus has dropped that belt. Not unless he wants to risk blowing apart the FDF! That’s paved the way for Archon to get an unexpected title shot and he intends to grab this opportunity. Archon could maybe of set his sights on a challenge for the Heavyweight belt based on recent strides he has made. However the fact that a hero wrestler holds it and Archon is realistic enough to know he’s probably not quite in that talent tier makes the Centra belt a better bet. If Archon fails then Commando Sam is keen to push Euritar towards this belt. Will Euritar be happy to have Manslaughter’s scraps? Last but not least is the ladies champ, Sniper. This almost slipped under my radar but significantly her successful defence against Thrash meant her reign reaches 63 cards. That levels the record mark set by Supernova a few years ago. Sniper is guaranteed to go past it as her next title defence won’t be for another couple of cards at least. Wonder how Supernova feels about this? She’s been struggling on Centra and now this happens. It was hard to imagine anyone ever setting a longer reign. Fact is Sniper has just been incredible and nobody is up to the task. Let’s see if her next challenger, surprisingly named as Taechon, can do anything. I’m betting not.
Another of my favourite events is up next and that’s TEAM SUPREME. The people of Centra are excited for their first taste of it. It takes place over 2 days and is an exciting concept One where the fans can really show support to their heroes on the ROC team. Entrants are ROC, Colonizers, Gladiators, Team CPC, FDF, Rocket Men, Fighting Titans and the Terrorists. Morpheus had to make a decision over who to include out of the Hitmen and the Terrorists. He wanted them to face off in a qualifier at the recent FRIDAY NIGHT FURY. However Krakan declined due to Dark Justice still being injured and also due to the unpredictability of Tough Guy. Apparently there have been frequent reports of him missing bookings on dark shows again. The draw has largely kept feuding teams apart. Although there are a lot of crossover secondary feuds so the first round will be heated. For example Commando Sam hates the Colonizers. He’s been happy to let ROC take it to them but is relishing now facing Mandrill’s team with his FDF. The only official feud rivals squaring off initially are the Fighting Titans and the Terrorists. These two teams are considered outsiders. So the winning team out of the ROC and Team CPC will fancy their chances of reaching the final as they are on the same side of the draw.
TEAM SUPREME FIRST ROUND DRAW (captains in bold):
FDF (Code Enforcer Manslaughter, Desolation Factor, Pegasus)-COLONIZERS (Mandrill, Rebel Empire, Wraith) ROCKET MEN (Paragon, Twin Blood, Skinhead)-GLADIATORS (Thunder, Malice and Overkill, Vengeance) ROC (Corporal Aegis, SWAT Team, Buck Steele/Genocide)-TEAM CPC (Bloodline, Disorder X, Terminus) FIGHTING TITANS (Rising Sun, Titan Attack, Meteor)-TERRORISTS (Mutant, Lethal Lottery, Draconian Sheik)
INJURED – Dark Justice (1), Splatter (2); SUSPENDED – none
WRESTLER OF THE MONTH:
PEGASUS - Is this guy the best that’s ever been? Possibly so. He certainly deserves to be mentioned in the same breath as legends like Omega, Star Warrior, Matador, Chaos and Thantos. He may of lucked in on this latest title reign a bit but to follow that up with strong victories this month over big players like Bloodline and Thunder just reminds us all of his greatness. It would not be fair though not to give a special mention to Sniper for matching Supernova’s record mark in the ladies division. She is a strong candidate for being named wrestler of the year!
TAG TEAM OF THE MONTH:
REBEL EMPIRE - One of a few tag teams quietly sneaking into hot form. They have blown away the SWAT Team and Desolation Factor in consecutive matches. Special mention also goes to the Ninja Assassins. Rising above their useless manager to also hit form and grab a record breaking win during the month.

CARD 1149 – TEAM SUPREME – CENTRA PALLADIUM:
Winner in 2109 - Team CPC over the Gladiators
Rules refresh. This event takes place over 2 days. Generally don’t carry over fatigue as long breaks. All regular matches. Managers allowed at ringside although I may change this in the future. Judges award points to each side for every match up to a max of 4. Team captains score a bonus point for their matches so long as they score. So the highest score a team can attain is 13. Very unlucky for any opposing team if that happens. The draw is interesting as no captains oppose each other in the first round.
Special added attraction:
Wolf tears Blazing Skull apart. Can’t have a big supercard and not have Wolf on it. The Centaurians were too short of numbers to be in the team tournament. Having lost to Anarchy recently Wolf preferred to face him. Maleph wouldn’t give him the satisfaction and sends Blazing Skull to oppose instead. Blazing lived to regret this as he just gets overrun by the intensity of Wolf. It was unrelenting offence that lasted several minutes. Blazing seemed to be constantly rolling his L3D. Satisfied that fatigue had built up Wolf then latches on with SAVAGE FACE CLAW. Maleph’s interference attempt failed. His demonic wailing just got drowned out by the crowd. To be fair to Blazing he tried to withstand the hold. It’s in his DNA not to quit so instead just loses consciousness and gets pinned that way. This was mightily impressive from Wolf to deliver this so soon after his crushing loss to Anarchy. Why should we be surprised though. He has bounced back many times in his long career. An added wrinkle is the lottery chart could have been consulted as unlucky 13 was rolled. I decided that because Splatter was carrying injuries and due to wrestle later that I would ignore. I suppose Vyper could have carried out the attack but he didn’t want to go out there alone.
First Round:
COLONIZERS OF CENTRA TROUNCED FDF 8-5. Two of the favourites get drawn in the opening round. Even though it’s the first match experts suggest the overall outcome hinges on it. It becomes a walk in the park for the Colonizers. The scoreline didn’t reflect the full story. Pretty disastrous for the FDF. Having won the tournament in 2108 they have now bombed in the first round in the two years since then … Mandrill easily handled Code Enforcer Manslaughter. Suggestions that Manslaughter is still suffering a hangover after losing the Centra belt prove to be correct. He just never clicked into gear. With Commando Sam refusing to get involved unless he sees an act of chicanery it didn’t help. Whilst Sentry was present there was no need for him to do anything. Mandrill was in total control. Repeatedly using his finishers against Manslughter with MUTANT MAULER winning the match. Mandrill scored highly to give the Colonizers a 4-0 lead … Rebel Empire has the measure of Desolation Factor again. Psychological advantage was with Rebel Empire after squashing Desolation Factor just 3 weeks ago. Surely we wouldn’t see a repeat. Commando Sam would of been drilling Desolation Factor very hard after that. They do a bit better. Not enough though as they come up short again as Rack gets pinned after EMPIRE TRIUMPHANT. Sam despairs as the realisation sets in that the match is already beyond the FDF as they trail 7-1 … Pegasus beats Wraith in a close one. Wraith draws the short straw getting Pegasus. Luckily the fate of his team doesn’t hang on it. With all the pressure off he wrestles a good match. Surviving PROJECT PEGASUS and having a couple pin attempts himself. In the end the class of Pegasus shines through as he wins after an Earth Shaker to give the overall scoreline some respectability. Pegasus knew he’d been in a match here and looked frustrated. After years of failing to win this tournament as part of the Champions team his hard luck run continues.
ROCKET MEN EDGE THE GLADIATORS 3-2. The nightmare scenario for the people of Centra would be either the Gladiators or the Colonizers winning this thing. Trouble is if the Gladiators progress then that will guarantee one of those teams being in the final. The Rocket Men is a strong team but are underdogs here. It certainly wasn’t a classic by any means. Thankfully the Rocket Men manage to eliminate the Gladiators by the slimmest of margins … Paragon defeated Thunder by DQ. Can the underperforming Thunder make a name for himself? No better time to do it than at an event like this. Problem is Brute prevents him from showing what he can do by attacking Paragon outside of the ring very early on. Needlessly it would seem. Puts the Gladiators 2-0 down straight away. Maybe it was tactical to try and keep the point scoring potential of Paragon down to a minimum. Would not be a massive surprise if Brute tries the same in the next match and then places faith in team captain Vengeance to win big in the last match … Twin Blood over Malice and Overkill by DQ. Second meeting in the last 3 cards. Last time there were belts on the line. This time there’s no belts but that doesn’t diminish the importance. It goes the same way as the first match though. Brute storms the ring attacking Dreggs when Overkill looked vulnerable. The Gladiators recover to then subject Dreggs to DECAPITATOR but don’t get as far as seeing if it would have won the match as the ref calls the DQ. Leaves the score at 3-0 to the Rocket Men. Gladiators can still turn it round though. Of course Johnny Rocket can easily employ the same tactic in the last bout … Vengeance defeated Skinhead by DQ. After seeing what has taken place before Johnny Rocket has similar designs to force the DQ loss to ensure his team progresses. However Brute has that base covered. After a sly glance at the ref he comes up behind Johnny and puts his lights out with a sleeper. Johnny has no chance against those huge arms. Never had Brute down as much of a thinker but he might of played a blinder with his tactics here. All he now needed was Vengeance to continue his hot run and deliver. Initially Vengeance struggles though. Skinhead was rising to the occasion right up until the first Eye Cleaver and then the pendulum swung and it was one way traffic. Vengeance seemed to enjoy punishing him too much though and doesn’t go for the kill. Skinhead slipped away to the outside during one bombardment and it was only now he realised what had happened to his manager. It invokes a fury that sees Skinhead grab a chair and take wild swings at Brute and then Vengeance. It’s just what Johnny would have wanted as it causes him to be disqualified and means Vengeance cannot score enough points. The Rocket Men progress in a low scoring 3-2. It was 7 years ago that the Rocket Men pulled off a massive shock to win this event with a much weaker team. I seem to remember Brainstorm of all people starring that night. Anyway they are much stronger now and by knocking out the fancied Gladiators it must have Johnny Rocket dreaming again.
TEAM CPC SNEAK PAST ROC 6-5. Thantos brags that they might as well hand his team the trophy right how. The fact that his team are the holders, facing ‘novices’ and it has such depth that he has had to leave a talent like Prodigy out of his line up makes Thantos feel supremely confident. Corporal Aegis is determined to make him eat those words. ROC comes close to doing that only to suffer the consequences of Genocide’s unpredictable rage and lose by a single point overall … Bloodline wins a classic over Corporal Aegis. So much expectation of Aegis to deliver by the Centra crowd. A lot of pressure to bear but he looks cool as a cucumber. Trisis is at ringside with him. She was desperate to lend whatever assistance she can. Aegis doesn’t like her being in the firing line so only agreed as long as she keeps well away from any physical harm. Turns into a classic. Such a seesaw match. Exciting moments straight away. Bloodline doing early damage with CETUS MASTERLOCK only to miss with BLOODLINE’S BIG BANG. Aegis surging back and conducting his Opening Salvo which didn’t convert to CORPORAL PUNISHMENT. Everyone was on the edge of their seats. After these frantic early minutes things quietened down for a spell. Then as the ten minute mark ticks by it all ramps up again. I’ll jump straight to the finish sequence. Basically Bloodline looks set to win. He’s just used his secondary finisher again and seeks to follow up with BLOODLINE’S BIG BANG once more. Surely Aegis is now too hobbled to get out the way. Incredibly he does though and Bloodline eats mat. Driven on by the crowd Aegis forces himself to go on offence. He launched Opening Salvo again. Frustratingly Bloodline fell out the ring after it. Aegis hurriedly pitched him back in and did it again. This time CORPORAL PUNISHMENT happens and the end seems near. Thantos makes a desperate move into the ring to stop any pin happening. Trisis gets a cheer as she tries to grab his legs only to get kicked off. However that little commotion has Aegis on alert and he is ready for Thantos. Flooring him with a jump kick. Aegis knows the impact of his finisher has lessened now and attempts to dish further punishment to Bloodline before going for his big finish again. For reasons known only to Aegis he fatally goes to the top rope for a deathjump. Bloodline somehow has the awareness to move out the way of the cross body coming his way. The impact with the mat shocks Aegis’s whole body and Bloodline collapses on him for the pin. You could have heard a pin drop after this. The whole crowd was stunned. There is a silver lining though. The judges saw this as such a thrilling and close contest that they scored it 3-2 in favour of Bloodline. Then there is the bonus point Aegis earns for being team captain so the teams are actually all level after this … The SWAT Team prevails over Disorder X. Pre match bombshell as Mace openly says of Grunge “it’s true I cannot stand the guy, feels good to get it off my chest”. Such revelations won’t have been music to the ears of Thantos at such an important event. He’s not been too attentive to Disorder X this year and he won’t need much of an excuse to bump them off the team if they end up costing him which they might well of done. Coming as little surprise to see Mace storm off in a huff after Total Disorder goes wrong again. Grunge actually did really well on his own and the handicap contest that was now taking place lasted a good while. At one point he might of grabbed a stunning win after he cracked Trench with GUITAR SHOT. Eventually the SWAT Team got its act together and Trench was the one to finish off via METAL RAMROD. The fate of Disorder X now in the balance. If Team CPC progresses, which now looks unlikely, will Mace even turn out again? Maybe Thantos will replace him with Prodigy if the organisers allow it. The judges actually acknowledge the big effort showed by Grunge as they only award a narrow points victory to the SWAT Team. So ROC leads 5-4 going into the final match up … Terminus beats Genocide by DQ. Terminus tries to looks confident when faced with Genocide. Inwardly he must have felt like cr*pping himself. He has to somehow to beat this monster to keep his team alive in the tournament. All he could do was try and survive long enough that Genocide might get into trouble with the ref as often happens. He manages to achieve that goal. Trisis tried hard with distractions but Genocide was getting wilder by the minute. In one suicidal moment he tossed Terminus out of the ring and then inexplicably did the same to the ref. Team CPC gets so lucky as the point gained by Terminus turns into two and they win 6-5. Even if Terminus hadn’t of been captain and it would of ended all square Team CPC would still of sneaked through as the deciding factor would of been the amount if matches won and it that respect they had a 2-1 advantage. The home crowd were shocked. They truly believed their heroes were going to do it.
THE TERRORISTS DESTROYED FIGHTING TITANS 9-1. This had a lot to live up to after the exciting and tense matches seen so far. With the ROC and FDF now out the fans transfer allegiance to the Titans (Rising Sun especially) … Mutant creates a huge upset by beating Rising Sun. Nobody saw this coming. This was considered a dead cert for the Titans but Rising has a shocker. He collided heavily with the turnbuckle/ring post almost straight away and never recovered. Mutant was all over him like he was a meal. TEMPLE GRINDER used several times until Rising could take no more. He will have very bruised temples when he wakes up tomorrow. Rising was so bad he didn’t even register a point. The Terrorists race into a 4-0 lead … Titan Attack over Lethal Lottery by DQ. Suggestions that Dreadnaught might have been contacted to substitute for the injured Splatter prove nonsense. Splatter comes through the curtains with strapping round the ribs. Becomes a decent contest. Titan Attack should have won sooner as Scion had used THE RISE AND FALL in Vyper. However he suffers a billy club attack from one of the Terrorists. Brings Lethal Lottery back into it. They got away with a lot as later Splatter slugs Scion with MEET ARSENAL. Ursa Major makes a crucial pin save in its aftermath. Eventually poetic justice as Lethal Lottery suffers a DQ due to Splatter’s incessant brawling. The ref finally could take no more. He’d tried to let as much go as possible as he knew calling the bell would deprive the Titans of points. Unfortunately Titans still a long way behind and with Meteor left they stand almost no hope … Draconian Sheik battered Meteor. Poor Meteor was sent like a lamb to slaughter to face Drac. Mathematically he could still send the Titans through if he won in a squash. Of course that was never going to happen. Drac absolutely terrorised him and won after a third DRACONIAN BACKBREAKER. Meteor was left bloody and had to be helped away by Lord Nexus. The Titan team has had a good year til now but in this tournament have been really found out.
Second Round:
COLONIZERS OF CENTRA KNOCK OFF THE ROCKET MEN 9-6. I was a tad disappointed that the Gladiators failed so miserably in the last round. Was salivating at the prospect of them facing the Colonizers. The two most feared teams on Centra colliding. In fact Johnny Rocket, now wide awake after his snooze yesterday, gets wind of public feeling and calls it disrespectful. He says “we have been the premier hero team on Centra so I expected people to be pleased we are flying the flag after beating those war mongering Gladiators. It’s just made us all the more determined now”. Sadly the Rocket Men loses all three matches. All close run affairs but we have the nightmare scenario of the Colonizers now being the favourites to win the whole thing 😬 … Rebel Empire finally beats Twin Blood. The tag teams kick us off. What a time it would be for Rebel Empire to finally get the better of Twin Blood. There’s not many teams they struggle against but Twin Blood is certainly one of them. Outside influences were expected to play a big factor in all three matches. For this match though they don’t actually do too much apart from the odd distraction. It’s hard to summarise. There was a lot action with both teams trying to get on top. For the most part they were cancelling each other out. Twin Blood are the masters of defensive tags and disrupted much of the rhythm Rebel Empire threatened to build. It got to a point where I felt the match had gone on a long time and decided to roll 30 more moves before the time limit was reached. Both teams were aware of this and started to open up and take a few more risks. This hastened the finish as Dreggs done himself by trying to hit Vendetta with a turnbuckle smash (ignoring his strong rating). Vendetta got a boot up and it knocked Dreggs silly. Vendetta then went for THE BIG FALL and for once Johnny Rocket’s distracting failed and Dreggs got pinned. Rebel Empire celebrates like they’ve won the entire event even though this is just a small cog. Guess it shows what it means to beat Twin Blood. The judges were so impressed they scored both teams highly giving Rebel Empire the edge 4-3 … Mandrill over Skinhead by DQ. Skinhead has fallen from his surprise lofty height a little. However he still remains hugely popular on Centra. More than he could ever of imagined. Now he finds incredible support again as he faces up to Centra’s biggest villain. Mandrill has underachieved massively until he dismantled Code Enforcer Manslaughter in a manner that suggests that is about a change. Skinhead tried to derail him as best he could. Unfortunately he is over zealous in the way he goes about it. Instigating brawls and trying to wipe Mandrill out with a chair. The ref called the DQ. Skinhead didn’t even get the satisfaction of striking Mandrill as Sentry performed his bodyguard duties. Fired off his stun gun beam into Skinhead from behind to stop Mandrill getting whacked. Two more points without reply for the Colonizers. However all is not lost for the Rocket Men. Paragon can still turn it round in the final match … Wraith upsets Paragon. Wraith again has the unenviable job of anchoring against a superstar. Last time the pressure was off as the Colonizers were already through. This time there is something riding on it although as long as he gives Paragon a close match can probably afford a loss to see his team through. The match took a while to warm up. It soon becomes clear that Paragon is unlikely to pull this off as Wraith provides stubborn resistance. Wraith actually had a go with his finisher first. Paragon heeded that warning and stepped it up. However his many pin attempts never yielded the dominant win required. Even FINAL OVERTURE was foiled as Sentry stormed in. The loyal bodyguard paid the price as he found himself gorilla pressed out of the ring. It was at this point I gave the match 30 more moves and a draw was on the cards until a dramatic last few moves. Wraith built some unexpected offence despite his exhaustion. On the very last move he hit PHANTOM JACKHAMMER again and it gave him the victory. A huge win not only for the Colonizers but also Wraith.
TEAM CPC PREDICTABLY DISPOSES OF THE TERRORISTS 7-2. The main talking point as to whether Mace would continue for Team CPC was soon answered as Prodigy takes his place and partners Grunge. Thantos got clearance from the organisers to make the switch. Perhaps fortunate as he had a day to get things sorted. As it turned out the weak spot of the tag team never became an issue as Team CPC had the match sewn up by then and progress to the final. The CPC brand has had a lot of success in this event and now Team CPC has a big chance to retain the trophy they won last year. Something that has never been done before … Terminus survives a thorough examination by Draconian Sheik. Dirty tricks from Thantos as he shines a spotlight into the runway trying to get Drac to go after it and get counted out. His efforts prove futile as Drac only has eyes for Terminus. A fantastic match now plays out. Loads of incidents including failed finishers, powder being thrown in the face of Terminus and Thantos rolling back the years to use his Satanic Skull Smasher. In fact Thantos got too involved and ended up being ejected from ringside. The ruling will carry through for the remaining matches too. A little harsh when considering what the Terrorists were doing. They were just as bad if not worse. Terminus still comes through to win despite having no manager. He was heavily fatigued but used HAMMERLOCK SLAM for the pin. As both are team captains bonus points are scored. The margin Team CPC leads by as a result is 4-2 … Bloodline does the the necessary against Mutant. Bloodline cannot believe his luck. In the semi of TEAM SUPREME and he’s facing Mutant. Better not underestimate it though. That’s what Rising Sun did and he ended up hugely embarrassed. Plus the Terrorists were still stalking ringside whilst Thantos was banned. Bloodline should have won early doors with BLOODLINE’S BIG BANG. He didn’t get a good contact though and Mutant is spared. A later attempt with it almost proves fatal as Bloodline missed it. Fortunately Bloodline is able to fightback. He laboured a bit until trapping Mutant in his CETUS MASTERLOCK. Mutant isn’t intelligent enough to submit in the conventional way but the ref perceived the wailing of it to be one. Strangely the Terrorists didn’t invade at any point. Perhaps caught out by the expectation that Mutant would withstand the move. Judges weren’t super impressed by the performance of either guy. They give Bloodline a stingy 2 points and Mutant zilch. Team CPC leads 6-2 and cannot lose now. At best the Terrorists can draw level if Lethal Lottery wins by a squash in last match. When things are level points are ignored to see which team wins most bouts and in that respect Team CPC cannot be caught … Prodigy and Grunge over Lethal Lottery by DQ. With the overall match lost the Terrorists lose interest. So there is now nobody at ringside. Before things commence Grunge hugs Prodigy like a long lost friend as if to rub it into Mace. Pretty sure Mace would be watching from somewhere in the venue. Nobody has seen him leave yet. The pairing proves a bit clunky though. I don’t think they exchange a tag with Prodigy in the ring the whole time. Not that they were given much chance to as Splatter just thinks f**k it and starts an outside brawl that saw several ringside personnel nearly get caught up in the crossfire. That brings about the DQ and ends this dead rubber.
Final:
COLONIZERS OF CENTRA DRAWS WITH TEAM CPC 7-7. Mandrill calls this the moment he finally conquers Centra. Assuming the big victory he urges the people to give themselves up as slaves “by becoming my slaves you will be fed, watered and protected. The ROC have shown they are incapable of that. What if the Ravagers return? You will all be sitting ducks without the Colonizers”. The crowd response is one of vitriol. The word Ravager is a dirty word among Centran society as it evokes such fear. For Mandrill to use them as part of his power play is stooping to a new low. It is very clear everyone wants Team CPC to win. It is the lesser of two evils. Thantos remained banned from ringside though. He kicked up an almighty fuss as expected but Commissioner Morpheus put him in his place by threatening a long suspension if he ignored the ban … Terminus just gets the better of Wraith. Often the first match is seen as the most important as it sets the tone. Both are confident having contended with fiendishly difficult bouts en route to this point. Terminus negotiating hardcore tests with Genocide and Draconian Sheik to still be 100%. Wraith having faced arguably the two best wrestlers in the fed in Pegasus, whom he ran very close, and then beating Paragon. It becomes a great match, well worthy of gracing the final. Terminus was stronger at the start but key interference by Sentry brings Wraith back into it. There are murmurings that the time limit could end this spectacle when Terminus finally makes a run of offence stick and pins Wraith after HAMMERLOCK SLAM. The momentum is with Team CPC as with the bonus point award Terminus gives them a solid 4-2 lead … Mandrill beats Bloodline in a draining battle. Mandrill was trying to get inside Bloodline’s head by calling him a great talent who would do well if he joined the Colonizers. He says whilst Thantos is a great mentor someone like Mandrill could take him to the next level. Bloodline refused to get drawn in. He just stares silently at Mandrill. The crowd picks up and actually chants his name. Bloodline seemed to enjoy this. On realising there is no getting through to him Mandrill snorts “stupid boy” then pounds at his chest in an ape like mannerism. Bloodline counters though and almost catches Mandrill cold straight away by flooring him with Avenger Cannon and then going for BLOODLINE’S BIG BANG only to miss with it. Did Sentry give him a cheeky nudge? Mandrill fights back hard after that let off and has numerous pin attempts mainly as a result of MUTANT MAULER. Bloodline just won’t give in though and sees this as the stage to come of age. Manages to launch a second wave of offence. A couple more Avenging Cannons then going for his big finisher again. This time a perfect connection (+4). Sentry tried to shoot him with the stun gun only to miss so threw the weapon down and stormed the ring. Bloodline was ready for him and managed to smash his head into Mandrill’s once he’d stumbled to his feet. The space helmet worn by Sentry meant it was a hard impact for Mandrill but the pin failed. The delay had lessened the effects of the finishing move and so the battle raged on. Mandrill managed to shake off the effects of that difficult moment to get Bloodline with his MUTANT MAULER again. By this time we were deep into the match and Bloodline was carrying 6 tokens to Mandrill’s 3. With no manager to save him it was a big ask to survive it again and he couldn’t muster the energy for a kickout. What a match it had been. Judges agreed with their 4-3 score. Of course Mandrill gets the bonus point too leaving this match perfectly poised for the anchor leg as it’s tied 7-7 … Rebel Empire against Prodigy and Grunge ends in a double DQ. It all boils down to this. Whoever won by whatever means would secure the trophy for their team. The success of the Team CPC line up has led to suggestions Prodigy might be ready to become a tag team specialist again. He found time on Centra Spacebook to scoff at this “tag teaming is in the past, I am too talented to get pigeon holed. Thantos knows this and there are plenty of teams I could just walk onto as their singles star next year. This is purely a temporary measure”. With that addressed it was onto the match. Steely focus on the eyes of all. Just as the bell was about to ring Mandrill emerges to intense booing. Surely the ref wasn’t going to let both him and Sentry be at ringside. However his presence was fleeting. He only had eyes for Sentry and leads him away from the ring. Clearly he didn’t trust Sentry not to blow this by getting Rebel Empire disqualified and decides to him out the picture. Rebel Empire are already a shoe in for the tag MVP award and clearly Mandrill trusted them to do the business. Anyway what takes place in an amazing match with an outcome nobody could have foreseen. We had a warning shot of the climax quite early as both teams brawled in the aftermath of Grunge falling victim to EMPIRE TRIUMPHANT. The ref almost called a double DQ leading to DM on commentary “that was a close call, who knows what would have happened”. After this Vendetta endures a torrid time and survives THE PERFECT SINGLES FINISHER (4 times) and also a GUITAR SHOT. A mix of powerful kick outs and pin saves keeps Rebel Empire alive. He manages to recover after a hot tag and plays a prominent part in the remainder of the match. The pendulum swinging back and forth with Rebel Empire getting visibly frustrated that they cannot get the better of this makeshift tag team. Nefarus’s frustration leads him into mistakes against Prodigy and he gets hit with THE PERFECT SINGLES FINISHER twice in a row. The second of which brings Vendetta into the ring for a pin save. Once again a huge brawl triggers. The ref desperately tries to restore order only to get forcibly flung from the ring by Vendetta. Then as he tried to crawl back through the middle ropes Prodigy kicks him off. Everyone is just so caught up in the emotion of it all. The poor ref has no option but to call the double DQ. The sound of the announcement actually brings about calm. This was on a cliffhanger now. No points can be scored on a DQ loss so the match is all square at 7-7 and the decider method was no good both teams share one win apiece across the 3 matches. This has never happened before (I think) and no contingency plan is drawn up. Both Mandrill and Thantos come out and demand an outcome. It all threatens to go off again. It takes the Commissioner himself to sort this out. Morpheus strides out and declares that the trophy is shared. It will spend 6 months with Team CPC and then 6 months with the Colonizers. The crowd didn’t like this and felt a final play off match should take place but the broadcast had overrun massively as it is.
Singles MVP - Mandrill
Tag Team MVP - Rebel Empire

CARD 1150 – TERRONAUT TOWERS:
Ladies champ, Sniper, swats away the challenge of Taechon. Fans hating having to choose a favourite here as both have snowballed in their popularity. Taechon finds their support as surprising as the fact she got awarded the title shot but seeing as everyone has failed multiple times then why not. Sniper often plays a tweener role despite her unofficial status as being on the roster of the Terrorists. They never accompany her and Sniper likes it that way. Anyway she starts by offering Taechon a pre-match handshake. Taechon is distrusting and makes a feeble attempt to accept before hastily withdrawing. Sniper shrugs as if to say ‘fine, if that’s how you want to play it’. Taechon makes a positive start and shows off the silky martial arts moves in her/his repertoire. Sniper didn’t expect that. Upon picking herself up after a spectacular looking judo throw Sniper decides no more messing around. She can fight dirty if she needs to. As Taechon closes in for another takedown Sniper grabs the hair and just throws her powerfully down to the mat. Taechon’s gender neutrality affords her no power advantage and it was quite easy for Sniper to overpower her. From this point on the balance swings. Sniper doesn’t let up for a moment and inevitably uses TARGET PRACTICE to take the win. This title reign of hers just doesn’t want to end.
Anarchy wastes Vengeance in a Titan Death match. Another top contender match. It was very wise to make this Titan Death rules. Vengeance has been given a big chance to go for the Heavyweight belt due to Thunder’s repeated failure to realise his potential. Vengeance was fully intending to take it. There has also been a simmering rivalry between the Gladiators and Brymstonians as both consider themselves to be the most dangerous and unpredictable race to inhabit the GWF or what is now GWFC. So there was a natural edge to this match. Unsurprisingly it wasn’t pretty and Vengeance was not shy in going for Eye Cleaver. It can do untold damage. Anarchy did well to absorb the punishment and then taps into his hardcore mentality to fight back. Being Titan Death there was nothing to stop him creating carnage. After a counter puts him on top he sent Vengeance out of the ring. Then in a moment that drew gasps he picks up a ringside table and breaks it over the head of Vengeance. To be honest most watching enjoyed Vengeance getting his ass handed to him. Anarchy now brings it back in the ring and sets about finishing things off with CRUCIFIX DROP. Vengeance somehow dangled a leg on the nearby rope to stop the pin. It just meant he was going to have to feel the move again from Anarchy. This time it seems to knock Vengeance into unconsciousness and the pin attempt was more centred. Now all over and Anarchy moves onto a title shot at Pegasus. Vengeance must now go back to the Gladiators with his tail between his legs. His bid for absolute leadership was highly dependent on securing the Heavyweight belt but he hasn’t even been able to get a shot at it.
Painmaster defeated Max Shield. Both left out of TEAM SUPREME. Max took it better than Painmaster as he is a team player. Painmaster on the other hand almost assaulted Mandrill on learning of his exclusion. His future with the Colonizers is up in the air as at time of writing. Sentry is missing from ringside as a result. So at least we got a clean match. Max was the better at the start and threatened an easy win after MAXIMUM IMPACT. He lets Painmaster off the hook though with a lazy cover. Painmaster then grows into the match and he was able to get Max into THE TORTURE RACK enough times that it eventually yielded the submission. Things not ending on a high for ROC as we close out 2110.
Ninja Assassins in perfect harmony to beat Rebel Empire. Top contender match which Rebel Empire is heavily favoured to win fresh off their MVP award at TEAM SUPREME. Being the little magpie that he is Reynard B. Guile is accompanying the Ninja Assassins. Now they are on the cusp of a shot at the gold he is suddenly interested in them again. He oversees a surprising win as the Ninjas link up brilliantly to upset Rebel Empire. Hydrax was able to beat Vendetta with DEATH POINT STRIKE. Not for the first time Sentry is late to the party as his distracting attempts were too slow. He must be on thin ice for next year. Especially as he’s been apparently annoying Mandrill by his requests to shed the suit and return as Tocsin.
Theatre of Pain beat the Clones by DQ. One more meeting between these teams. It’s been a great, if somewhat weird, feud. Theatre of Pain won the last cage match handsomely at THE MEGA SHOW and they won again here albeit in far more understated fashion. Mad Jester was attempting to finish off Comedy with A DEAD MAN’S VERSE. He almost tagged the ref who was trying to free Comedy from the ropes. The poor chap’s life must of flashed before his eyes. He didn’t take the near miss too kindly and disqualified Mad Jester for the action.
Mutant crushed Sir Ender. If Sir Ender’s tale of bravery was true then Mutant might hesitate to attack him. The way it went for him upon being let off its leash blew that theory out the water. After a few minutes he was on the end of TEMPLE GRINDER. He couldn’t submit quick enough. The torture continued for a bit afterwards as officials struggled to prise Mutant off him. If Sir Ender thought was bad then wait for what’s coming next.

CARD 1151 – CENTRA PALLADIUM:
Penultimate show of the year. Outside of the matches there was quite a kerfuffle in the crowd. Some fella was winding fellow fans up by protesting against the invading outsiders and saying they should be banned from wrestling. When fans wouldn’t sign his petition he started insulting them. Eventually cops were called and he got arrested. Hopefully we don’t see him again.
Anarchy stuns Pegasus to win the Heavyweight belt. It’s not been a good few weeks for Commando Sam. First his team lost its vice like grip on the Centra belt and then TEAM SUPREME was a huge failure. He is tense and out of concern for losing the Heavyweight belt is being a real fun sponge. Refusing to allow Pegasus to sign autographs or pose for pictures with fans. Instead he is barking orders at Pegasus and generally rubbing him up the wrong way. DM remarks on commentary “Sam has always placed a lot of pressure onto himself. Poor guy looks like he’s aged several years in the last few weeks but he always means well. He is one of the true good guys”. One thing we were wondering was how involved Maleph might get. The demonic beast’s penchant for chaos and destruction likely to jeopardise capturing the belt as the DQ risk would be high. Brymstonians have never placed huge value on belts but this is the big one. Could Maleph show restraint? He certainly couldn’t keep still though. Often flying above the ring during the contest casting distracting shadows over the grapplers. If only someone had a slingshot. Down below the action was frantic. Anarchy began in a ferocious manner which Pegasus struggled with. It was clear that he wanted to win the belt over creating carnage as he had chances to throw Pegasus outside several times and thought better of it (I rolled up). Fans looked deeply concerned as the illegal CRUCIFIX DROP was soon used. The ref missed the metal plate numerous times which led to DM on commentary labelling him incompetent. Pegasus withstood the first one and made fans think he’d be okay in the end with a decent comeback that culminated in PROJECT PEGASUS. Of course Maleph was going to interfere after something like that and it triggered a brawl that went out the ring. Sam was even involved now. Whilst Pegasus won this brawl things now rapidly went downhill as he bodged a deathjump. Anarchy back on top delivered all sorts of brutal moves including his famed Atomic Drop and CRUCIFIX DROP (twice more). Sam was now fed up with all the dodgy tactics and trying to save Pegasus. He had taken a bad hit in the earlier brawl which hindered what he could do. So the second time Pegasus hit the plate (and the for the third time overall) it looked very, very bad. Anarchy managed to get the pin and win the Heavyweight belt. The crowd was silent. You could feel the fear. Anarchy winning the belt, ROC struggling, villain teams dominating TEAM SUPREME, talk of Murdok and Ravagers. This isn’t great.
Titan Attack coast against Dark Justice and Mike Fortune. Is this a telling sign that the Hitmen are preparing for life without Tough Guy on the team? Putting Justice and Mike Fortune together seemed an odd move. Krakan refuses to comment specifically other than to say “Justice has vast tag experience so it makes perfect sense”. The experiment, if it was one, fails miserably. The Titans have it far too easy. An explosive start by Scion Nexus sets Ursa Major up nicely to finish off Mike Fortune via TITAN VICTORY ROLL.
Prodigy stays hot by beating Lance At-Las. Can Prodigy continue his excellent finish to 2110? Some felt it was wrong of Thantos to go with Bloodline and Terminus as singles wrestlers for TEAM SUPREME. Although Thantos proved them wrong with his team ending as joint winners. The match takes place against a backdrop of crowd disturbance. Something going on in there. The guys in the ring pressed on though. Lance used MARS MANHANDLER twice in the first couple of minutes hinting that a minor upset was afoot. Prodigy recovered well though and evened up the fatigue count via THE PERFECT SINGLES FINISHER. After this we get a few minutes of back and forth. Then Lance, who was probably taking too many risks, tries a deathjump and misses with it allowing Prodigy to take an opportunistic win.
Ms. Liberty defeated Maxine Babe. Ms. Liberty gave a warts and all interview with Trisis last week where she talked about her life. Many of the fans didn’t know what she has been through until this point and now have great sympathy for her. Maxine Babe cannot resist getting herself in the headlines as she goes on Centra Spacebook the next day and hints she slept with US. Traitor a couple of years ago. He also showered her with gifts before giving up trying to start a relationship and taking his villain turn and pledging allegiance to Cygnus. Most see it as an attention grabbing fabrication. Ms. Liberty aimed to teach Maxine a lesson in the ring tonight. First thing she does is slap her round the face and calls her a slut. Her emotions were running high. Too high perhaps as she quickly misses a deathjump and is almost pinned after DUDE’S CHOICE (assisted by one of Maxine’s cheerleader pals). Ms. Liberty manages to get a calmer head on after that and works her way to a popular win via THE LIBERATOR. The cheerleader was supposed to storm the ring if Maxine got in trouble and use the loaded pom poms but she didn’t have the stomach for a fight and scarpered.
Splatter crushed Sir Ender in a quick match. Sir Ender looks like he’s sh*tting himself on sight of Splatter who is now all healed up and able to swing Arsenal without feeling any pain. He begs off immediately and utters “I’m sorry, it was just a little joke with Mutant”. After all these years Splatter is still one bad ass motherf****r. He tortured Sir Ender for a few minutes before battering up with MEET ARSENAL. Sir Ender got no protection from the referee and was out cold after that hit.
Animen Invasion posts another surprise win over Transformer. Animen Invasion has been a bogey opponent for a few teams this year. None more so than Transformer though. Unbelievably they managed to beat them again. Transformer is shockingly bad and Monad gets pinned after ANIMEN FINISH.

CARD 1152 – CENTRA PALLADIUM:
Shocking way to end 2110 as two violent attacks take place tonight. One doesn’t come as a total surprise as Tough Guys days on the Hitmen team looked numbered. However what Euritar did to Manslaughter left eveyone flabbergasted. He was rumoured to be wanting to shed the Code Enforcer image and strike out as his own identity but nobody saw such an extreme reaction like that coming.
Tag champs, Twin Blood, continues their run by easily beating Ninja Assassins. Twin Blood has survived more than a year as tag champions. Amazingly there are longer reigns but it is a phenomenal achievement. In fact this defence marks their 49th as the holders. Maybe tonight is the night it finally comes to an end after Rebel Empire exposed a vulnerability at TEAM SUPREME. We all know how one sudden loss can trigger a run of them. Johnny Rocket has been quick to try and pick them up. Calls the loss a blip and says there were things going on in that match that the cameras didn’t pick up on that explains the loss. One thing that might of unsettled their preparation is that their opponents are the Ninja Assassins. They would have been expecting to meet Rebel Empire. What it also means is Johnny Rocket and Reynard B. Guile renewing acquaintances. They have clashed plenty times before. Only B. Guile is missing come the time. Supposedly thrown out by security for trying to expose himself to Amazonia backstage. That wasn’t good for the Ninjas as their switch routine wouldn’t be possible now. It manifests itself in their performance as they are largely second best. Daeman, in particular, struggles as he cannot get out the line of fire for a long time. Eventually when he makes the hot tag it’s not hot at all. Barely lukewarm as Hydrax shows toothless offence. A few minutes later Daeman was back in the thick of it and struggling just as much as before. He gets polished off by TWICE BITTEN. The Ninjas will be frustrated with their manager for this failure. Surely they have to take serious consideration towards sacking him. Trouble is they will need a new one as their switch routine relies on a ringside presence.
Centra champ, Mayhem, smashes it again as he beats Archon. Although Archon has been labelled a bit intense and is regularly clashing with Lorelei the fans know he is a man with a good heart. They get over the shock of what happened in the last match to give him a good pop and Archon responds by wrestling his heart out. He was labelled as the huge underdog because of the way Mayhem has been destroying his opponents. However from the moment Archon ducked under Mayhem’s swinging of the belt towards his head we all knew we had a match on. After a couple of minutes Brute comes through the curtain to be at ringside. Clearly realising this might be tougher than expected and looking to protect the belt. Once upon a time the Gladiators would not of cared much about this secondary belt (Malice even abdicated it once) but they have been so starved of any belt gold that attitudes have changed. At least for now. In fact the last time the Gladiators held a major belt other than this one was way back on #1056 when Vengeance lost the Heavyweight belt after a very brief reign. That’s two years ago and if you want to find the last time they won either the tag or women’s belt you have to go back much further. It’s very evident that Archon’s gameplan is to get inside as much as possible. Looking to start smothering Mayhem with his submission style. Anytime he gets close Mayhem pushes him off violently. Despite the huge effort put in it starts to become a frustrating exercise for Archon. In trying to force the issue too much he fatally misses with a turnbuckle charge and hurts a shoulder. Mayhem feasts on the error as he throws Archon out of the ring to setup for LEAP OF DOOM. A few kicks in the side by Brute ensures that Archon stays in position and that Mayhem doesn’t miss. The impact makes almost everyone wince in unison. Mayhem then drags Archon back into the ring by his hair and disrespectfully pushes a foot down onto the throat. He orders the pin count. The disgusted ref slowly moves into position and pounds the canvas. Archon barely moved a muscle and lost the match. It’s probably for the best that he didn’t manage a kick out. In this mood Mayhem could have caused him considerable damage and you get the impression if the Gladiators felt the belt was being threatened Mayhem’s chain and Brute’s Aethran Casque would have come into play.
Vengeance crushed Code Endorcer Manslaughter. This could be the moment when Vengeance is most dangerous. He is hurting that his bid for absolute leadership of the Gladiators has been compromised by his loss to Anarchy. The door has been left ajar for Thunder to have another stab at becoming their singles star in 2111. Someone is bound to cop it. On paper Manslaughter, having suddenly lost form, looks vulnerable and it quickly becomes apparent he wasn’t going to recover his form here. He was out wrestled and out brawled by Vengeance. Due to Brute’s interference Commando Sam made some attempts to even things up only to fail miserably. He couldn’t stop Manslaughter falling to defeat via HELTER SKELTER. The match wasn’t a great one overall but it became memorable for what happened next. Euritar suddenly storms the ring apparently to help Manslaughter even though a puzzled Sam questions “what are you doing here?”. He smashed both Brute and Vengeance with a crowbar and then turned round and did the same to Manslaughter. He then tore off his mask and shouted “free at last!” Everyone was down apart from Sam who wisely kept a safe distance and only waited til Euritar had left before assisting Manslaughter. To say everyone was shocked by Euritar’s actions would be an understatement. What will his next move be?
Third Planet easily beat Mutant and Splatter in a Hitman match. Not had one of these matches in a while. Krakan says money was needed to coax those cowards into the ring. Turns out to be an elaborate setup. After a few minutes of action Tough Guy gets lots of chances to roll on L3O against Mutant. Inevitable that he would slap the FIGURE-FOUR LEGLOCK on and it proves enough to incapacitate Mutant. Tough Guy gets a huge shock as a he retrieved the bag at the top of the poll. He was allowed to get it suspiciously easily as Splatter didn’t try and stop him getting up there. All becomes clear when there is no cash inside. Just a note saying “bang you’re dead, from mother hen”. He has only just processed this when Splatter smashes him from behind with Arsenal and then everyone, including his own partner, sets upon in a vicious beating. He is rendered unconscious before a security team armed with tasers is able to safely enter and stop the attack. Read more about this in the latest news section.
Amazonia and Supernova over the Hellions by DQ. Must be said that Amazonia and Supernova have been a bit shocked this year. The emergence of Sniper has caused their own form to suffer. Maybe together they can muster some form against the vile Hellions. As the Hellions approach one fan tries to throw rotten tomatoes at them. Hunger just stops and absorbs the food into her abdomen and then spits it back into the crowd. Truly disgusting. After that the action starts and it’s a match devoid of much excitement. Takes a long time for any one team to get on top. Eventually the Hellions superior tag team know how comes to the fore and they use WOMEN’S SUFFERAGE on Supernova. Despite the ferocious impact for Supernova she produces a big kick out and tries to show all her fighting spirit during a subsequent out of ring brawl with Hunger. On firing a kick at Hunger’s stomach Supernova finds her foot caught in the menacing jaws. Blood is drawn as she struggles to get her foot freed. It takes Amazonia coming over and using her shield against Hunger to force a release. Serpentine got floored by her too. The ref must of been as disgusted as everyone else by the sight of all this as he solely disqualified Hunger.
Nth Degree mauled Dreadnaught. Doomsayer taunts Dreadnaught “why don’t you go through the Transevolver again? It’ll probably kill you but it might not, either way it will end your miserable current existence”. Dreadnaught tried to ignore him but what he couldn’t ignore was the battering being unleashed by Nth Degree. All looked very clumsy as Nth Degree fired head butts galore before a a painful Double Bite in the back of the neck saw Dreadnaught just crumple with barely a minute gone.

GWFC REPORT (THE END 2110 CARDS 1149 – 1152)
Champions
* GWFC Heavyweight Champ: Anarchy (Top Contender: Mandrill/Wolf) * GWFC Tag Champs: Twin Blood (Top Contenders: Rebel Empire/Titan Attack) * GWFC Centra Champ: Mayhem (Top Contender: Mutant/Bloodline) * GWFC Ladies Champ: Sniper (Top Contender: Ms. Liberty)
Latest News:
Everyone was stunned to see Anarchy defeat Pegasus to become new Heavyweight champion. For sure Anarchy is a dangerous wrestler but it was assumed Pegasus would be too good to slip up. He just couldn’t get things going against him though and after feeling CRUCIFIX DROP repeated times ended up losing. It casts a certain amount of unease with the likes of the Brymstonians and Colonizers doing so well. Some claim Pegasus is getting over the hill and the constant push he’s enjoyed for almost a decade could now be over. Wonder if he’ll be back to try and even reclaim the title next year? Perhaps the belt he’ll be pursuing will not even be the Heavyweight one. Anarchy now being champion many rekindle Wolf’s interest in it. Wolf has a pretty decent historic belt record although he has never been that bothered about championships unless they are around the waists of his biggest enemies. Then it’s a different story. He certainly did not do his ranking position any harm by blowing Blazing Skull away at TEAM SUPREME in the added attraction match.
The GWFC roadshow wants to return to Antilia even though the radioactive signals emanating from its dark side continue to worry scientists. To make matters worse there are murmurings of a being called Murdok that is sending waves of fear throughout Centra. He is thought to of been a myth. A ruthless leader supposedly buried within a tomb there centuries ago to escape a mysterious extinction level event that swept through Centra. The radioactive signals preserving his body leaving him ready to reawaken and terrorise at any moment. Worryingly Phantast, who has remained dormant ever since guiding everyone to Centra, is rumoured to be behind Murdok’s imminent resurrection and touted as a possible manager/ally. Corporal Aegis wants to reassure people that stories of Ravagers invading or dangerous conquerors like Murdok rising again are just that. Purely stories.
Dreadnaught is clinging on and vows to continue in 2111. Trisis lobbies Commissioner Morpheus to ban him from wrestling before its too late. Morpheus refuses “I’m not his mummy, if he wants to carry on its his decision. Wrestlers don’t have to sign matches with him if they don’t like it”. On hearing of this Dreadnaught breaks silence on Centran Spacebook by posting “I don’t care if I die in the ring. For my own sanity I have to wrestle”.
Anaxis didn’t feature at all last month for the Hitmen. Krakan was so unimpressed with what she did inside (and outside the ring) that he left her to rot. She is presumed now back on the Team CPC payroll and lacking in confidence. Thantos had been treating her like a doormat before ‘loaning’ her out.
Shocking attacks have taken place within two teams. Firstly a Hitman match pitting Third Planet against Splatter and Mutant sees Tough Guy get set up. On retrieving the bounty at the top of the pole he saw the message “Bang. You’re dead. From Mother Hen”. Suddenly he felt the hard crack of Arsenal and was mercilessly beaten by not only Splatter and Mutant but also his own partner Mike Fortune. He realised he was set up as Krakan entered the ring and ordered more punishment. Shortly after this he fell unconscious. Then in the very next match we saw Euritar smash Manslaughter with a crowbar and rip off his Code Enforcer costume. He then announced that he was finally free. Nobody is sure what that means and whether he will remain with the FDF or turn heel and feud with Manslaughter. The press conferences for 2111 are sure to be interesting as we get some answers.
TEAM SUPREME was captivating. Turned out pretty disastrous for the hero teams. Especially the FDF who had a real month to forget. In a never before scenario both the Colonizers and Team CPC won it. Commissioner Morpheus vows that plans will be put in place to prevent this happening next year and beyond. The shared prize didn’t stop Thantos and Mandrill bragging about how their teams are now best in both dimensions. Big concern coming out of the event is that possible cracks might be appearing in the Fighting Titans? One of most stable and together teams in the fed’s history. Rising Sun says he was embarrassed by his team going out so easily. He feels too much is pinned on his shoulders and questions the depth. Maybe he should take a look at his own performance as he was largely responsible for the failure. Many of the competitors that featured prominently at the event didn’t do much after as they were winding down (apart from the champions who still had their mandatory defences to fulfil). Getting plenty of rest before the new wrestling year is upon us. Even Wolf called it day which is unusual as he normally likes to roll out his Santa Wolf gimmick to close out the year in suitably festive manner. Other things on his mind perhaps?
Commissioner Morpheus finally relents and will give Titan Attack a chance to go for the tag belts in the opening month of 2111. He’s not keen on hero versus hero matches. However feels he can hold them back no longer. The twist is that they must beat Rebel Empire first. Basically the winner of the match will get the next shot at Twin Blood.
Fair to say wrestling on Centra is a great success after the year finally ends. Fans enjoying their staple diet of wrestling. They have particularly enjoyed the ROC team’s successes even though jury is still out on the SWAT Team. Wondering what next year will bring. There is sure to be the usual game of musical chairs coming very soon.
END OF YEAR AWARDS summary … Corporal Aegis did pretty well. He scooped 2 awards and came runner up in another. Sadly the big prize for wrestler of the year didn’t go to Sniper. The small ladies division went against her. There wasn’t really a stand out performer among the men’s roster and it was actually unusually someone who didn’t even hold the Heavyweight belt who got voted as wrestler of the year, Code Enforcer Manslaughter. Up until when he was beaten by Mayhem for the Centra belt late in the year he was looking unbeatable. The guy really needs to now set his sights on the Heavyweight belt and go to the next level. Problem is that might not happen as long as Pegasus is around. Speaking of Pegasus, he was a little miffed Manslaughter got it over him. He was the only one in the FDF that didn’t publicly congratulate Manslaughter. In the tag division it was a no brainer that Twin Blood won the award and that Titan Attack were acknowledged as second best. Johnny Rocket rode the coattails of Twin Blood to earn the top manager award. Clearly the people of Centra still fear Mandrill a lot despite the valiant effort of the ROC. He was most hated by a long, long way. The Gladiators are also injecting fear with Vengeance being identified as the worst of their kind.
INJURED – none; SUSPENDED – none
WRESTLER OF THE MONTH:
ANARCHY - I nearly gave this to Mutant believe it or not. It enjoyed two wins this month including one over Rising Sun. After resisting that temptation it was between Mandrill and Anarchy. Mandrill was MVP at TEAM SUPREME but in the end I couldn’t overlook Anarchy managing to win the Heavyweight belt from Pegasus after seeing off Vengeance to earn that right.
TAG TEAM OF THE MONTH:
GRUNGE AND PRODIGY - An unusual choice. However they were just thrown together and excelled. Showing what great tag wrestlers they both are. Of course Prodigy didn’t like this. He proves to be a difficult customer and refuses to accept his half of the award shouting “I am not a tag wrestler!”
GWI - End of Year Awards

CENTRA TITLE MATCH - Mayhem battered Archon (LEAP OF DOOM. Mayhem finishes the year as the strongest performing Gladiator and the only won that has held a title all year long) 6.

SETUP FOR 2111:
Investigation into the poisoning of Massacre will continue. Detective Quidun is vowing to bring this to trial sometime this year in what will be most certainly be ‘trial of the century”. There are still an awful lot of suspects at the moment. Some are being looked at closer than others. They are Johnny Rocket, Vengeance, Son of Ram, Antak and Rouser (leader of BAO group). The remaining Gladiators are believed to all be under a close watch too. All Quidun has said of these guys is “don’t go trying to leave this dimension anytime soon”.
A Ravager ship has entered Centra air space causing near hysteria. Corporal Aegis led the response and sent a message to the invading ship. The Ravager leader, Ventross, said “we come in peace but bring an important warning”. They were allowed to land and no aggression was shown on either side. More is set to be revealed at the press conferences. The terrified Centra public remains unconvinced and fear that they are on the brink of war.
PRESS CONFERENCES SUMMARISED:
COLONIZERS OF CENTRA … Mandrill kicks things off by calling all the citizens of Centra dogs and suggesting everyone bows before their master. He then announced 4 new signings. Although they did not appear, due to riot fears, he said they were the Ravagers (Ventross and Rankor). Then Trench runs out as part of a shocking traitorous turn. Finally Rouser, the sign carrying nuisance seen last month and one of the Massacre murder suspects, came out. He has joined Mandrill because his own people treat him like dirt and intends wrestle women “as if they think they are so tough then they shouldn’t be afraid to wrestle a civilian like me” before moving up to the Heavyweight division. There was a big commotion after this as Mandrill went back on his promise to return Sentry to wrestling action due to the new acquisitions. Sentry was enraged and opened fire with his stun gun on the Colonizers. His moment of glory was brief as there was just too many to handle and Vendetta managed to recover to come up behind and smash Sentry. Slowly all the Colonizers regained full movement after the paralysing effects wore off and started beating Sentry to a pulp. As GWFC authority figures (including Commissioner Morpheus) started pushing through the crowd Mandrill called an end to the attack but not before blasting Sentry one last time with his own stun gun. Mandrill ominously declares “let the beaten carcass of Sentry be a lesson to anyone who dares to challenge me”.
RAMPARTS OF CENTRA … Big task for Corporal Aegis to try and bring about some calm. Was flanked by both Solaris and Commissioner Morpheus. He doesn’t drag out a fancy speech and quickly tells everyone that Mandrill’s statements about the Ravagers were untrue. He unveils them as the newest members of ROC. When the Ravagers enter the ring they immediately shake hands with all the authority figures. Ventross makes an address to state the Ravagers are allies and not invaders. Giving a history lesson that the people of Centra are relative newcomers to this dimension whereas the Ravagers have existed for millions of years. He explains the reason for practically no life existing outside of the main hub of Centra is due to a mysterious force they called The Plague which drains everything of its energy to leave a lifeless husk behind. The Ravagers have been travelling the cosmos trying to stay ahead of it and using their sophisticated tech to warn of its whereabouts. Centuries ago when they were fleeing they tried to warn the people of Antilia but many were as afraid of the Ravagers as they were the prospect of The Plague. The planet was reduced to what we now know. Some made a futile attempt to relocate to Primus and hid in underground caves where they were partially shielded. The result is the primitives seen on Primus today. Making Grovel a direct descendant of the Antilians. With the history lesson over Ventross explains there is no imminent threat from The Plague and the reason they have come back is to check on the newcomers that have joined this prosperous civilisation. They made Mandrill believe they’d join him so they could learn more of his plans for conquest. Ventross identifies him as a major threat. The whole time Rankor stayed quiet. When he does finally speak it’s clear he is not as trusting as Ventross and thinks war should be declared on all the trespassers. However it’s clear Ventross is the leader and the views of Rankor is a minority one among their race. After this the crowd erupted and cheers the Ravagers. Everyone raised their hands in the air in a sign of solidarity although when Max Shield tried to grab the hand of Rankor he would have none of it and stepped away from the celebrations. A gunshot then brings the euphoria to a halt. Tocsin approaches and wastes no time in making his purpose clear “I want to join your team”. Max Shield shows distrust although it’s clear Tocsin is genuine and wants revenge on the Colonizers after what that liar and his thugs did. Aegis likes the idea of Tocsin’s betrayal to make up for the defection of Trench. Tocsin is soon welcomed although the suit wasn’t doing a perfect job of holding back his natural aroma so nobody got too close!
THE CENTAURIANS … This was dramatic. The recruitment of Genocide just drove a further wedge between Archon and Lorelei. He cannot believe such hardcore guys are now on the team and arguing amongst themselves over who the most dangerous fighter is. He’s had enough and declares himself a free agent and leaves. The arguments don’t stop there as things get tense between Wolf and Amazonia. It ends with Wolf jumping over the top rope and declaring “I’m outta here”. After this shock Amazonia declares she still wants to compete against men and hopes more will be brave enough to sign matches with her this year. Who knows, she may need up going against Wolf at some point. The final major news was another new recruit, Grovel. Ventross managed to communicate with the primitive and arrange for it to leave the Hitmen.
BRYMSTONE BURNING … Absolutely nothing is said. Just a weird show of synthetic fire in the ring. All Brymstonians perched on the turnbuckles pointing towards the middle from which Wolf suddenly emerges. The crowd is flabbergasted to see that Wolf has apparently joined their team. I suppose that ends his predicted interest in the Heavyweight belt that Anarchy now holds and clears the path for Mandrill to get the next shot. Wolf and Mandrill had been scheduled to face off in a top contender match early in 2111.
REYNARD B. GUILE … Reveals a new team he is calling the Great Comeback. Still has the Ninja Assassins on board even though many felt they should sack him. However it is the two signings made that causes jaws to drop. Both ones that will put his team on the radar of Commando Sam. First is the legendary Pegasus as he drops his goody two shoes image. He also as Maxine Babe as his personal valet and she is all over him. Secondly the fate of Code Enforcer Euritar is revealed. He had fully dropped the image and is ready to go to war with the FDF. He is bitter that he wasted years on a silly contract he was forced into to play the Code Enforcer. Jumping on a technicality to break the contract as his role was to be played in the GWF but this is the GWFC now. His backstory is a bombshell as he reveals that he is actually the son of the original Code Enforcer!
HITMEN FOR HIRE … Probably one of the less newsworthy press conferences when compared to what has already gone on. Krakan says good riddance to Tough Guy and Maxine Babe whilst issuing warnings to the likes of Ventross and Pegasus. Not a huge surprise to see Splatter and Mutant back in the bosom of Krakan. Splatter takes exception to being called old and how he keeps linking back up with Krakan given how he has been treated in the past. Calls him a great manager compared to the Terrorists who are only interested in Draconian Sheik adding “they are two strange guys who never talked to us”. Amid sounds of gunfire the Hitmen departed before anyone got the chance to ask Krakan about Sniper.
TOUGH GUY AND SNIPER … This was a surprise one that got scheduled. Tough Guy opens the ropes for Sniper and it’s clear they are an item. Tough Guy is still wearing bandages that were a result of the injuries sustained at the hands of Krakan. He quickly gives the stage to Sniper who explains she and Tough Guy have something in common as they’ve both been abused by Krakan. The assumption is she was an old girlfriend of Krakan but the startling reveal is “I’m his daughter. My mother was an arena rat and became a wrestling groupie. Krakan took advantage of her need for attention by using her at his convenience for many years. When she died several years ago I was a teen and dabbling in bad things like drugs. Krakan showed no remorse and when I told him what happened he acted concerned for mere moments and said he had to go. He never spoke to me again until I made contact a few years later. I was feeling alone and wanted companionship so I sought out my ‘famous father’ despite what my mother said about him being very abusive. I had to find out for myself and I badly wanted a father in my life. The best thing I could do was train to be a wrestler and eventually I approached him in 2108 telling him I wanted to join his team and even adopted an image suitable for being part of them. I think he was afraid of the scandal so agreed to train me secretly. Then something happened to make me hate him more than anything. I overheard him making fun of my mother calling her a pest and all sorts of unrepeatable things before moving onto me and how he was only doing this to keep my mouth shut and that I was terrible. I was devastated and abandoned the plan and instead entered as an independent in 2109. Krakan took notice of how good I was and asked me to join but I told him where to go”. What a story and the vicious attack on Tough Guy was the last straw and why Sniper has gone public. Together she and Tough Guy will even wrestle occasional mixed gender tag matches as Living Dangerously. Plus they know they cannot take on the Hitmen alone so have signed on with the Terrorists. When asked where the Terrorists were the two of them appeared at the Palladium entrance arms crossed. Draconian Sheik and Vyper were behind them. Sniper and Tough Guy headed off to join them. This feud has gone up many notches with personal scandal fuelling it!
