TEAM UPDATES:
GLADIATORS OF AETHRA … Brute has declared war on everyone in response to Massacre’s death. It may have happened many months ago but the rage has not dissipated. Expect Brute to be interfering more than ever this year and also ordering plenty of gang attacks. In the background Vengeance pledged loyalty to Brute and has no designs on becoming team leader. Maybe this is a move to try and divert the suspicions away from him. Thunder as a singles wrestler and Malice and Overkill as a tag team still have a lot to prove. They were underwhelming last year having been predicted to achieve great things. Mayhem and Spike will continue in similar roles to how they ended the year. Mayhem going hardcore against anybody and everybody whilst keeping hold of the Centra belt which is suddenly an important title to hold. At least until the other Gladiators have got their acts together and started threatening the main belts again. Spike mainly as a bodyguard when required. It had been speculated that he has already wrestled his last match although it seems he may be making 2111 his swan song year instead. Thrash is still low down in the Aethran pecking order. Not that it keeps her quiet and she has plenty to say about Amazonia thinking she’s too good for the women’s bracket and wanting to wrestle men. Maybe Thrash will follow suit. Or take advantage of the void to try and dominate women’s wrestling again. It’s been an awful long time since she did.
COLONIZERS OF CENTRA … Mandrill is fuming that the Ravagers have mugged him off and then Tocsin deserting to join ROC made matters worse. He is still determined to press on with his conquering plans and maintain his standing as the most hated man on Centra. His recruits aren’t exactly striking fear into any opponents though. He could have had the Ravagers and instead he’s got Trench and Rouser. Of course Rebel Empire is the main tag team and have a great chance to win the tag belts soon if they can get the better of Twin Blood. However there is now a second option team of the Betrayers who are naturally made up of Wraith and Trench. With all the movement Painmaster has seen that his standing on the team could be on the rise and is staying loyal to Mandrill despite rumours he might turn on him. Will he continue to be taken for granted? Finally there’s Rouser who is an obnoxious attention seeking individual. He will be an extremely distracting ringside presence. Plus he is taking advantage of equal opportunity rights to try and make it in the women’s division. Will the GWFC allow it? Rouser is extremely good at protesting his case and argues that he is under the weight and height limit to be allowed to contest the women’s title. For sure the women would love the chance to try and beat him up and probably a few of the male wrestlers too. Rouser is probably far too cowardly to give any the opportunity.
RAMPARTS OF CENTRA … The most popular team on Centra just got even more popular. Corporal Aegis is thankful for the public support and reiterates that there is nothing to fear from the Ravagers. The fears were based on their own prejudices. He will be ably backed up by his new best mate, Max Shield, who is adapting his style to become more aggressive (and not in that Mad Max way he has tried before). Max is aware he has underachieved for years and it’s time to do something about it. It’s also been done to compensate for a weakening of his shield defences. In fact his potent new finisher THE OMICRON FORCE is very dependent on his mutant powers but if it hits fully it’s as good as any of the most devastating finishers around. Plus it has the added advance of being one of those finishers that never misses. Of course that brings us onto the Ravagers. Their emergence is the big story of 2111 and thankfully they see the Colonizers as the invaders and aim to deal with them. Although it must be said Rankor doesn’t seem as friendly as Ventross. Word is Ventross can be just as good as singles wrestler as in a tag team but expect most of his ring time to be spent tag teaming. Unfortunately there is a weak link on the team and that is Warfare. It’s not that he lacks talent and we all know how powerful he is. He’s just hard to control and Trench was his only true friend. Thankfully Aegis is wisely giving him space and earning his trust and respect so hopefully it’ll be okay. Next is Tocsin and he’s very much an unknown quantity. At the moment he is obsessed with punishing Mandrill and the other Colonizers and says he will make them sick to their stomachs with his gross finisher HAZARDOUS WASTE plus he is not relinquishing his weapon and will probably cop a fair few DQ losses with its usage. Finally Trisis is still with the team and is more loyal than ever. She loves wrestling and her talk show has been a hit. Whenever possible she’ll help the team although Aegis remains very protective of her.
THE GREAT COMEBACK … Reynard B. Guile laid low last year but he’s now back in the headlines with this exciting new team. Getting Pegasus and Euritar on board is a massive coup. Pegasus is now proclaiming himself as ‘The Great One’ instead of ‘The Hero of Heroes’ and slipping nicely back into old heel ways. He was sick of Commando Sam’s cause and inhibiting style. To those that think he has lost a step he vows to prove them wrong and capture the Heavyweight belt again as well as dominate his new feud rival Archon ‘Defender of Honor’. Euritar won’t want to be playing second fiddle and sees getting rid of his Code Enforcer image as liberating. All those years of frustration and anger are about to be let out in the ring against his old FDF colleagues. Then how can you forget the Njnja Assassins. Still a great team and ready to be back in the spotlight with a big feud against the “overrated” Desolation Factor. Backing them all up when B. Guile is not around is Maxine Babe. She’ll be a big distraction although she’s chiefly Pegasus’s babe. She triggered a feud with Ms. Liberty only recently and that will continue plus likely matches with Supernova on the horizon. Of her time with Krakan she tells us something we already knew “the guy is a jerk, treats women like dirt” then adds “if I’m going to be treated like dirt it needs to be by someone good looking like Pegasus”.
FEDERATION DEFENCE FIGHTERS … Sounds like Mesmer has slipped something into Sam’s drink again. He calls Pegasus and Euritar ungrateful scum whilst also freshly targeting Wolf for joining the Brymstone team. His obsession with punishing all code breakers is bordering on the unhealthy. Some of the other hero leaders are a bit nervous about the way Sam is. Even Lance At-Las thinks he is better out of it and has requested to leave the FDF and become a loner again. The new look team is now fronted by Archon. Now calling himself ‘Defender of Honor’. Archon says Sam is a manager he can finally respect. They fit each other well as they are so square. Archon will never leave the ring or knowingly break rules but at least he’s learning how to brawl and adopt new setup moves under Sam’s tutelage. Of course the Code Enforcer remains loyal to Sam’s cause and the feud with Euritar will be intense. Then there’s Desolation Factor as the tag threat. They aren’t too bothered about the code though. Funnily some Centrans actually thought they were the Ravagers last year until Ventross and Rankor showed up. They bore a slight resemblance to faded cave drawings and scrolls found on Antilia decades ago. Supernova is still on the team even though she doesn’t 100% agree with Sam’s agenda. Great pals with Ms. Liberty who is loyal to Sam and sees him as a father figure. She’s still getting on with life and trying not to let US. Traitor get to her.
THE CENTAURIANS … Lorelei is more determined than ever to avenge the death of her son. Her signing of Genocide shows that. What she wouldn’t have expected is Wolf suddenly jumping ship to the Brymstonians after an argument with Genocide. It sets up an incredible feud between them. Archon’s departure on the other hand wasn’t entirely unexpected. However he has been replaced by Grovel thanks to assistance from Ventross. Grovel has shown a far greater degree of success than anyone thought and could be a useful addition. Amazonia is also stepping things up as she gets used to having Wolf as an enemy. She’s dropped any managerial responsibilities and updated her repertoire. The reasons are two fold. She was underperforming in the women’s bracket and now she is trying to enter the men’s bracket and wants to toughen up even more. Remains to be seen whether Commissioner Morpheus will allow her to be ranked. However matches against Wolf and Anarchy are now a distinct possibility. Will the fed and its various promoters take advantage? One match type I am sure will get booked is a mixed tag affair as Amazonia and Blade have agreed to come together as Cutting Edge and are eyeing up contests with Living Dangerously (Sniper and Tough Guy). Big question is, when is Lorelei going to enter the ring herself? Some thought this would be the year that it would happen.
BRYMSTONE BURNING … Not sure what makes Maleph tick other than violence. However he must derive satisfaction in some small way from managing the Heavyweight champ plus being able to sign Wolf. It’s a shocker to see Wolf on this team. He’s unpredictable but nobody saw his independent streak gojng this far. If he survives his feud with Genocide he could end up facing his former girlfriend, Amazonia, in a match. He’s not going to go out his way to do it. However if it happens will be interesting to see if he tones down his aggression or remains the same savage animal that never yields. It’ll be history in the making when and if it happens. Certainly Anarchy won’t hesitate to crush her if he can take time out of being Heavyweight champ. Would Wolf just stand back and watch if he tries to actually injure Amazonia? Outside of the headliners we have Blazing Skull. Never an individual to take lightly and we must remember the catalyst to this whole feud. Plus there’s Tortured Soul in a great hardcore feud with Grovel. There won’t be any long speeches or war of words. Just hopefully lots of special matches.
THE ROCKETMEN … Johnny Rocket starts by banging the drum for a Sudden Death tournament to take place in the GWFC. Then in a surprise has handed the star singles spot back to Skinhead. His plan is to try and keep eveyone happy by rotating it regularly. That doesn’t sit well with the others especially Paragon. All of them have some way to go to match Twin Blood in the tag division though. Their tag title reign is into the fifties and showing no sign of ending. Can they break the record for the longest reign ever? Nora Pelf has almost been forgotten due to her lack of success in the ring. She’s going to try and force her way into public consciousness by winning her feud against Anaxis and then turning her into a servant/maid for the Rocketmen team. As far as we know she and Johnny are still in a relationship but they rarely show much affection on screen these days.
TEAM CPC … Thantos is big on talk usually. Only he has been quiet to the point the silence is deafening. His wrestlers have been the ones making noise. None more so than Terminus who oozes confidence at the minute. He was actually pursued by Mangus for the Cygnus team although Terminus turned him down. Terminus feels more likely to get title shots if Thantos is his manager. Terminus intends to wear any belts that he owns like trophies. Bloodline is in the shadow of Terminus but if he keeps progressing it won’t be for long. Thantos calls him the star of tomorrow. He still moans that his sister, Supernova, won’t leave him alone. Prodigy’s position is less obvious. He finished 2110 in hot form and was arguably the best wrestler on the team. However it’s clear his third in the pecking order. Prodigy chooses to ignore this and calls the fact that his former partner, Skinhead, is the top guy on the Rocketmen is a joke. Smacks of jealousy a bit. Unbelievably Disorder X stays together. Mace says the team is not the weak link and any weakness should be attributed to his partner and not him. Great team player attitude once again from him. Mace also says that if Disorder X lose their feud with Twin Blood this year, which is more likely, then he’ll disband the team and it’ll be Grunge’s fault. Grunge is happy to play along. He gets paid well and truth be told he don’t care too much. Anaxis hasn’t been treated too great by Thantos of late. Despite this she carries on and intends to make Nora Pelf regret her comments by challenging her to a servant match. It should make a feud that might of gone under the radar a bit more interesting.
HITMEN FOR HIRE … Krakan feels betrayed and claims he was a good father to Sniper. Clearly delusional after the way he ignored her for years and then ridiculed her. It’s not been a good year for Krakan and women when you also remember that Maxine Babe has done a runner. Of his Hitmen Dark Justice might be on dicey ground. He says he is not interested in family problems and how underrated he is. Going as far as to suggest he’s receiving second rate support from the rest of the team. It could easily lead to an eruption between the new generation of the team (Justice and Mike Fortune) and the old generation (Splatter and Mutant). Mike Fortune makes no comments other than to call Tough Guy an unreliable jerk who deserved what he got. He is licking his lips at the prospect of this feud. Also an interesting feud with Vyper awaits. Both guys have been more on the tag team scene in recent years so it will be a chance for one of them to make a move on this singles charts this year. That leaves the Society of Death (Splatter and Mutant) as the famous name is resurrected. Splatter says he is the enforcer of the team and that Arsenal will watch the backs of the team. Then fires off a warning to Justice about shooting his mouth off. So having only just rejoined the team he’s already having a war of words. Krakan is not worried. He is just concerned with Splatter making Tough Guy pay and in a low move even for him has ordered Mutant to go after Sniper. With matches between women and men now being a considered possibility we could see this happening. If Amazonia can then why can’t others? We will have to see though as Commissioner Morpheus is still pretty against it.
THE TERRORISTS … Montrol is loving that Sniper is officially part of the Terrorists and opposing Krakan. Paralysing Krakan a few years ago was a nice revenge but this is a deeper sting that goes beyond physical pain. Having Tough Guy on board is an added bonus. Of course Draconian Sheik is still their main interest. Weirdly Drac has formed a bond with Tough Guy and it’s been suggested they may even tag together occasionally. However Drac is still chiefly a loner purely driven by what the Terrorists instruct. Vyper doesn’t want to be the forgotten man on the team so he is picking feuds like they are going out of fashion. He wants to remind people he was twice a Heavyweight champion and gets annoyed when anyone says “I don’t remember that”. It’s probably because the record books don’t actually list his first one because he failed to make a successful defence of it and the second one was almost as brief. Although it did actually happen folks!
FIGHTING TITANS … Lord Nexus says he is disgusted with Krakan and makes a memorable quote “Krakan has more skeletons in his closet than a haunted house”. Despite a poor TEAM SUPREME it was a good year and shows their youth movement is working as Titan Attack were awesome and although Rising Sun wobbled a bit at the end he showed he is a top contending singles wrestler who’ll no doubt improve even more this year. The only setback is Meteor developing slower than hoped and not really fitting into the team due to his baggage but Nexus is keen to support in his battle with addictions and casting him off could do irreversible damage. Looking at some of the individuals on the team and there is great hope for Rising Sun. His little outburst a few weeks ago is long forgotten. Instead he is honing skills further and could join the elite next year. His goal is to be a good role model. Whereas Archon is obnoxious about his ‘code of Honor’ Rising is a class act that people respect. A case example is Rising naming his potent new finisher SUPER DRAGON DROP in homage to his good friend and former partner, Dragonmaster. Titan Attack is already among elite in the tag division. If not for Twin Blood they would have dominated the tag belts. Maybe they’ll get the chance they deserve soon. However as mentioned before Meteor is a sad story. He seems depressed that he is not as talented and cannot get over with the fans. As a result he is hanging about more with his old friend Lance At-Las than his Titan colleagues. He and Lance are set to team together occasionally as the Rigel Warriors.
CYGNUS STRIKEFORCE … Mangus is going after Commando Sam as he says “old feuds die hard”. Trouble is he tried and failed to build up the team having failed in rumoured approaches for both Desolation Factor and Terminus. Instead he only signed Taechon. Not much to write home about. Although it formed the basis of a cruel statement from US. Traitor who said “it’s nice to have Taechon on the team. Even though we aren’t sure if Taechon is male or female she’s more woman than Ms. Liberty will ever be”. Taechon was very quiet last year but has found a voice “I was building up a friendship with Sniper so I am angry she’s suddenly abandoned me after promising we might tag together next year. It would have been better than what I had with Nora Pelf”. With one comment Taechon has made enemies of two women plus Ms. Liberty will be after her for associating with US. Traitor. One things for sure Taechon barely registered in the fed last year. Now things are different and she’ll be booked a lot more having got a few storylines going.
THE TEAM WITH NO NAME … These guys are off the wall. Defender of the Realm has now reverted to calling himself Mad Jester too. Who knows what he’ll call himself tomorrow or next year. For the purposes of the announcing they’ll be called Mad Jester Original and Mad Jester Clone this year. Their identical looks will afford them plenty of chances to perform illegal switches during matches. Most of the work will fall to the Clone as Mad Jester Original is actually considerably older and showing signs of age. As for their team name it came about during a weird interview when asked “what is your team going to be called? At the moment you are ‘The Team With No Name’ so the public wants to know”. Mad Jester said “that’s right”. The confused interviewer asks “what do you mean?”. Jester just laughed and said “we like that, we are going to be ‘The Team With No Name’ for now but you never know what we’ll be called show to show”.
TRANSEVOLVER … The whole Massacre murder mystery is very prominent for this team as Doomsayer takes exception to Son of Ram insulting him and says this is an admission of guilt. He’s studied chemicals enough to know the poison that killed Massacre came from Andromeda! As a result he is assisting the investigations due to his knowledge. Can he trusted though? Unfortunately his unique Transformer team aren’t happy Doomsayer is more wrapped up with this than managing them. They want a big push and are trying to create their own heat by challenging the Team With No Name to a feud.
UNAFFILIATED … Animen Invasion find themselves as being among the strongest suspects of Massacre’s murder. As a result they want a full on feud with Malice and Overkill this year. Can the Gladiators be bothered with them though? Aside from this they scored quite a few surprise wins last year and are not as bad a team as many thought they would be. For some reason they are at their best when facing Transformer and as a result Son of Ram wants to also face them in some more matches. Of course he isn’t happy with Doomsayer’s role in framing them so there is also plenty of heat … Dreadnaught is still ticking. Some people have remarked on a resemblance with the Ravagers although they have nothing in common and it’s purely coincidental. I think he’ll be scheduled in quite a few Centra Coffin matches this year just in case the worst happens. This is a new match type that’s now possible along with Nightmare Matrix and Hardcore Titan Death matches … Hellions. Will they be tempted to follow the lead of the likes of Sniper and Amazonia and take on male wrestlers. How cool would it be to see them face their fellow Brymstonians. As we all know the Brymstone Burning team does not associate or acknowledge them … Lance At-Las is a bit worried Commando Sam is going off the deep end but rather than make a fuss has quietly left the FDF team. He plans to remain in this dimension even if the option to return to the known dimension comes up … Massif still holds a referee status and hopes to be used in some big matches this year. He is another that is worried about Commando Sam’s behaviour … Phantast. He showed an interest in being a manager last year. So far nothing has materialised and he is only seen sporadically. He has been linked with some of strange occurrences on Antilia although he did break silence to categorically deny this. He wants the people to know he stands on right side of good versus evil. Although some still don’t fully trust him … Sir Ender provided comedy value last year. He is truly hopeless. Having been used as a punching bag by the Gladiators and not taken on by them he then offered his service to the ROC “to help fight off the heathens and scoundrels that threaten the kingdom”. Corporal Aegis politely refused and now Sir Ender has challenged the team members to a feud to prove his worth … The Soulwatcher is still around and has a bit of a cult following … Theatre of Pain. Had a great feud with the Clones last year which they shaded. Next up for them is a rivalry with the Rigel Warriors.
UPDATES FROM OTHER DIMENSIONS:
UFSP UPDATE … There are indications that Omega is having some success in the UFSP in his attempt to convince people that professional wrestling should not be outlawed. It even appears that Cordanus is seeing the tide of public opinion turn against him and is showing signs of backing down! Omega has successfully lobbied for a vote of the citizens of all the galaxies in Dimension K to decide the issue. The vote will take place late in 2111. If the public votes to overturn the ban the GWF could be reinstated as early as 2112. If the public votes to maintain the ban, it could be years before the issue comes before the public again. Omega and many others are working hard to sway the public to reinstate wrestling. Worryingly Star Warrior is nowhere to be found. Where is he and what is going on?
CPC UPDATE … The CPC continues to have a sporadic schedule of ‘underground’ cards in the hollowed out core of Planet Colby. Colby has successfully paid of some high officials and police officers in order to keep the CPC alive. Rumor has it he is also paying off high ranking members of the UFSP in his attempts to see the ban overturned. The CPC is the only federation in Dimension K that has remained active after the ban and even in their case only on a minimal basis with few cards and few fans.
WGX UPDATE … The WGX has been active the past few years and several newcomers have enjoyed success. Alpha Force and Chaos were able to win the Vector Two tag belts and have held them for over a year. The Matador of M83 had won the Heavyweight Belt twice in Vector Three and is currently wrestling in Vector Two with Chaos and Alpha Force. Vector One naturally returned to Vector One and is currently the Heavyweight Champion. Janus has been wrestling in Vector Two and has been a top ranked wrestler but he has been unable to win a belt so far.
GLADIATORS OF AETHRA … Brute has declared war on everyone in response to Massacre’s death. It may have happened many months ago but the rage has not dissipated. Expect Brute to be interfering more than ever this year and also ordering plenty of gang attacks. In the background Vengeance pledged loyalty to Brute and has no designs on becoming team leader. Maybe this is a move to try and divert the suspicions away from him. Thunder as a singles wrestler and Malice and Overkill as a tag team still have a lot to prove. They were underwhelming last year having been predicted to achieve great things. Mayhem and Spike will continue in similar roles to how they ended the year. Mayhem going hardcore against anybody and everybody whilst keeping hold of the Centra belt which is suddenly an important title to hold. At least until the other Gladiators have got their acts together and started threatening the main belts again. Spike mainly as a bodyguard when required. It had been speculated that he has already wrestled his last match although it seems he may be making 2111 his swan song year instead. Thrash is still low down in the Aethran pecking order. Not that it keeps her quiet and she has plenty to say about Amazonia thinking she’s too good for the women’s bracket and wanting to wrestle men. Maybe Thrash will follow suit. Or take advantage of the void to try and dominate women’s wrestling again. It’s been an awful long time since she did.
COLONIZERS OF CENTRA … Mandrill is fuming that the Ravagers have mugged him off and then Tocsin deserting to join ROC made matters worse. He is still determined to press on with his conquering plans and maintain his standing as the most hated man on Centra. His recruits aren’t exactly striking fear into any opponents though. He could have had the Ravagers and instead he’s got Trench and Rouser. Of course Rebel Empire is the main tag team and have a great chance to win the tag belts soon if they can get the better of Twin Blood. However there is now a second option team of the Betrayers who are naturally made up of Wraith and Trench. With all the movement Painmaster has seen that his standing on the team could be on the rise and is staying loyal to Mandrill despite rumours he might turn on him. Will he continue to be taken for granted? Finally there’s Rouser who is an obnoxious attention seeking individual. He will be an extremely distracting ringside presence. Plus he is taking advantage of equal opportunity rights to try and make it in the women’s division. Will the GWFC allow it? Rouser is extremely good at protesting his case and argues that he is under the weight and height limit to be allowed to contest the women’s title. For sure the women would love the chance to try and beat him up and probably a few of the male wrestlers too. Rouser is probably far too cowardly to give any the opportunity.
RAMPARTS OF CENTRA … The most popular team on Centra just got even more popular. Corporal Aegis is thankful for the public support and reiterates that there is nothing to fear from the Ravagers.

Whenever possible she’ll help the team although Aegis remains very protective of her.
THE GREAT COMEBACK … Reynard B. Guile laid low last year but he’s now back in the headlines with this exciting new team. Getting Pegasus and Euritar on board is a massive coup. Pegasus is now proclaiming himself as ‘The Great One’ instead of ‘The Hero of Heroes’ and slipping nicely back into old heel ways. He was sick of Commando Sam’s cause and inhibiting style. To those that think he has lost a step he vows to prove them wrong and capture the Heavyweight belt again as well as dominate his new feud rival Archon ‘Defender of Honor’. Euritar won’t want to be playing second fiddle and sees getting rid of his Code Enforcer image as liberating. All those years of frustration and anger are about to be let out in the ring against his old FDF colleagues. Then how can you forget the Njnja Assassins. Still a great team and ready to be back in the spotlight with a big feud against the “overrated” Desolation Factor. Backing them all up when B. Guile is not around is Maxine Babe. She’ll be a big distraction although she’s chiefly Pegasus’s babe. She triggered a feud with Ms. Liberty only recently and that will continue plus likely matches with Supernova on the horizon. Of her time with Krakan she tells us something we already knew “the guy is a jerk, treats women like dirt” then adds “if I’m going to be treated like dirt it needs to be by someone good looking like Pegasus”.
FEDERATION DEFENCE FIGHTERS … Sounds like Mesmer has slipped something into Sam’s drink again. He calls Pegasus and Euritar ungrateful scum whilst also freshly targeting Wolf for joining the Brymstone team. His obsession with punishing all code breakers is bordering on the unhealthy. Some of the other hero leaders are a bit nervous about the way Sam is. Even Lance At-Las thinks he is better out of it and has requested to leave the FDF and become a loner again.

Outside of the headliners we have Blazing Skull. Never an individual to take lightly and we must remember the catalyst to this whole feud.

Bloodline is in the shadow of Terminus but if he keeps progressing it won’t be for long. Thantos calls him the star of tomorrow. He still moans that his sister, Supernova, won’t leave him alone. Prodigy’s position is less obvious. He finished 2110 in hot form and was arguably the best wrestler on the team. However it’s clear his third in the pecking order. Prodigy chooses to ignore this and calls the fact that his former partner, Skinhead, is the top guy on the Rocketmen is a joke. Smacks of jealousy a bit. Unbelievably Disorder X stays together. Mace says the team is not the weak link and any weakness should be attributed to his partner and not him. Great team player attitude once again from him. Mace also says that if Disorder X lose their feud with Twin Blood this year, which is more likely, then he’ll disband the team and it’ll be Grunge’s fault. Grunge is happy to play along. He gets paid well and truth be told he don’t care too much. Anaxis hasn’t been treated too great by Thantos of late. Despite this she carries on and intends to make Nora Pelf regret her comments by challenging her to a servant match. It should make a feud that might of gone under the radar a bit more interesting.
HITMEN FOR HIRE … Krakan feels betrayed and claims he was a good father to Sniper. Clearly delusional after the way he ignored her for years and then ridiculed her. It’s not been a good year for Krakan and women when you also remember that Maxine Babe has done a runner. Of his Hitmen Dark Justice might be on dicey ground. He says he is not interested in family problems and how underrated he is. Going as far as to suggest he’s receiving second rate support from the rest of the team. It could easily lead to an eruption between the new generation of the team (Justice and Mike Fortune) and the old generation (Splatter and Mutant). Mike Fortune makes no comments other than to call Tough Guy an unreliable jerk who deserved what he got. He is licking his lips at the prospect of this feud. Also an interesting feud with Vyper awaits. Both guys have been more on the tag team scene in recent years so it will be a chance for one of them to make a move on this singles charts this year. That leaves the Society of Death (Splatter and Mutant) as the famous name is resurrected. Splatter says he is the enforcer of the team and that Arsenal will watch the backs of the team. Then fires off a warning to Justice about shooting his mouth off. So having only just rejoined the team he’s already having a war of words. Krakan is not worried. He is just concerned with Splatter making Tough Guy pay and in a low move even for him has ordered Mutant to go after Sniper. With matches between women and men now being a considered possibility we could see this happening. If Amazonia can then why can’t others? We will have to see though as Commissioner Morpheus is still pretty against it.
THE TERRORISTS … Montrol is loving that Sniper is officially part of the Terrorists and opposing Krakan. Paralysing Krakan a few years ago was a nice revenge but this is a deeper sting that goes beyond physical pain. Having Tough Guy on board is an added bonus. Of course Draconian Sheik is still their main interest. Weirdly Drac has formed a bond with Tough Guy and it’s been suggested they may even tag together occasionally. However Drac is still chiefly a loner purely driven by what the Terrorists instruct. Vyper doesn’t want to be the forgotten man on the team so he is picking feuds like they are going out of fashion. He wants to remind people he was twice a Heavyweight champion and gets annoyed when anyone says “I don’t remember that”. It’s probably because the record books don’t actually list his first one because he failed to make a successful defence of it and the second one was almost as brief. Although it did actually happen folks!
FIGHTING TITANS … Lord Nexus says he is disgusted with Krakan and makes a memorable quote “Krakan has more skeletons in his closet than a haunted house”. Despite a poor TEAM SUPREME it was a good year and shows their youth movement is working as Titan Attack were awesome and although Rising Sun wobbled a bit at the end he showed he is a top contending singles wrestler who’ll no doubt improve even more this year. The only setback is Meteor developing slower than hoped and not really fitting into the team due to his baggage but Nexus is keen to support in his battle with addictions and casting him off could do irreversible damage. Looking at some of the individuals on the team and there is great hope for Rising Sun. His little outburst a few weeks ago is long forgotten. Instead he is honing skills further and could join the elite next year. His goal is to be a good role model. Whereas Archon is obnoxious about his ‘code of Honor’ Rising is a class act that people respect. A case example is Rising naming his potent new finisher SUPER DRAGON DROP in homage to his good friend and former partner, Dragonmaster. Titan Attack is already among elite in the tag division. If not for Twin Blood they would have dominated the tag belts. Maybe they’ll get the chance they deserve soon. However as mentioned before Meteor is a sad story. He seems depressed that he is not as talented and cannot get over with the fans. As a result he is hanging about more with his old friend Lance At-Las than his Titan colleagues. He and Lance are set to team together occasionally as the Rigel Warriors.
CYGNUS STRIKEFORCE … Mangus is going after Commando Sam as he says “old feuds die hard”. Trouble is he tried and failed to build up the team having failed in rumoured approaches for both Desolation Factor and Terminus. Instead he only signed Taechon. Not much to write home about. Although it formed the basis of a cruel statement from US. Traitor who said “it’s nice to have Taechon on the team. Even though we aren’t sure if Taechon is male or female she’s more woman than Ms. Liberty will ever be”. Taechon was very quiet last year but has found a voice “I was building up a friendship with Sniper so I am angry she’s suddenly abandoned me after promising we might tag together next year. It would have been better than what I had with Nora Pelf”. With one comment Taechon has made enemies of two women plus Ms. Liberty will be after her for associating with US. Traitor. One things for sure Taechon barely registered in the fed last year. Now things are different and she’ll be booked a lot more having got a few storylines going.
THE TEAM WITH NO NAME … These guys are off the wall. Defender of the Realm has now reverted to calling himself Mad Jester too. Who knows what he’ll call himself tomorrow or next year. For the purposes of the announcing they’ll be called Mad Jester Original and Mad Jester Clone this year. Their identical looks will afford them plenty of chances to perform illegal switches during matches. Most of the work will fall to the Clone as Mad Jester Original is actually considerably older and showing signs of age. As for their team name it came about during a weird interview when asked “what is your team going to be called? At the moment you are ‘The Team With No Name’ so the public wants to know”. Mad Jester said “that’s right”. The confused interviewer asks “what do you mean?”. Jester just laughed and said “we like that, we are going to be ‘The Team With No Name’ for now but you never know what we’ll be called show to show”.
TRANSEVOLVER … The whole Massacre murder mystery is very prominent for this team as Doomsayer takes exception to Son of Ram insulting him and says this is an admission of guilt. He’s studied chemicals enough to know the poison that killed Massacre came from Andromeda! As a result he is assisting the investigations due to his knowledge. Can he trusted though? Unfortunately his unique Transformer team aren’t happy Doomsayer is more wrapped up with this than managing them. They want a big push and are trying to create their own heat by challenging the Team With No Name to a feud.
UNAFFILIATED … Animen Invasion find themselves as being among the strongest suspects of Massacre’s murder. As a result they want a full on feud with Malice and Overkill this year. Can the Gladiators be bothered with them though? Aside from this they scored quite a few surprise wins last year and are not as bad a team as many thought they would be. For some reason they are at their best when facing Transformer and as a result Son of Ram wants to also face them in some more matches. Of course he isn’t happy with Doomsayer’s role in framing them so there is also plenty of heat … Dreadnaught is still ticking. Some people have remarked on a resemblance with the Ravagers although they have nothing in common and it’s purely coincidental. I think he’ll be scheduled in quite a few Centra Coffin matches this year just in case the worst happens. This is a new match type that’s now possible along with Nightmare Matrix and Hardcore Titan Death matches … Hellions. Will they be tempted to follow the lead of the likes of Sniper and Amazonia and take on male wrestlers. How cool would it be to see them face their fellow Brymstonians. As we all know the Brymstone Burning team does not associate or acknowledge them … Lance At-Las is a bit worried Commando Sam is going off the deep end but rather than make a fuss has quietly left the FDF team. He plans to remain in this dimension even if the option to return to the known dimension comes up … Massif still holds a referee status and hopes to be used in some big matches this year. He is another that is worried about Commando Sam’s behaviour … Phantast. He showed an interest in being a manager last year. So far nothing has materialised and he is only seen sporadically. He has been linked with some of strange occurrences on Antilia although he did break silence to categorically deny this. He wants the people to know he stands on right side of good versus evil. Although some still don’t fully trust him … Sir Ender provided comedy value last year. He is truly hopeless. Having been used as a punching bag by the Gladiators and not taken on by them he then offered his service to the ROC “to help fight off the heathens and scoundrels that threaten the kingdom”. Corporal Aegis politely refused and now Sir Ender has challenged the team members to a feud to prove his worth … The Soulwatcher is still around and has a bit of a cult following … Theatre of Pain. Had a great feud with the Clones last year which they shaded. Next up for them is a rivalry with the Rigel Warriors.
UPDATES FROM OTHER DIMENSIONS:
UFSP UPDATE … There are indications that Omega is having some success in the UFSP in his attempt to convince people that professional wrestling should not be outlawed. It even appears that Cordanus is seeing the tide of public opinion turn against him and is showing signs of backing down! Omega has successfully lobbied for a vote of the citizens of all the galaxies in Dimension K to decide the issue. The vote will take place late in 2111. If the public votes to overturn the ban the GWF could be reinstated as early as 2112. If the public votes to maintain the ban, it could be years before the issue comes before the public again. Omega and many others are working hard to sway the public to reinstate wrestling. Worryingly Star Warrior is nowhere to be found. Where is he and what is going on?
CPC UPDATE … The CPC continues to have a sporadic schedule of ‘underground’ cards in the hollowed out core of Planet Colby. Colby has successfully paid of some high officials and police officers in order to keep the CPC alive. Rumor has it he is also paying off high ranking members of the UFSP in his attempts to see the ban overturned. The CPC is the only federation in Dimension K that has remained active after the ban and even in their case only on a minimal basis with few cards and few fans.
WGX UPDATE … The WGX has been active the past few years and several newcomers have enjoyed success. Alpha Force and Chaos were able to win the Vector Two tag belts and have held them for over a year. The Matador of M83 had won the Heavyweight Belt twice in Vector Three and is currently wrestling in Vector Two with Chaos and Alpha Force. Vector One naturally returned to Vector One and is currently the Heavyweight Champion. Janus has been wrestling in Vector Two and has been a top ranked wrestler but he has been unable to win a belt so far.
