CARD 968 – SATURDAY NIGHT STARSLAMMERS – TITAN SPORTATORIUM:
Usual sea of Titan fans ready to cheer their heroes but not a good move by the GWF to hike ticket prices for faithful fans. The Commissioners say it is a temporary measure to balance books and crucial to get them competing. Thankfully the fans still turn out in droves. Promises of free tickets being made available at a future date once things have recovered. In one corner it is almost like a shrine to Dragonmaster. Being his last active wrestling year there’s not too many appearances left for him and the fans know it. They want to make him feel special and appreciated.
Mandrill easily beats Max Shield in a non-title match. The classic feud rumbles on. Mandrill may mostly have Chaos in his sights but he’ll never shake off Max whose life is dedicated to punishing the Colonizers for their atrocities. Vertigo was on heightened awareness having heard a rumour the Colonizers are planning a gang attack as a statement. He is also on lookout for Blizzard, who having gained a shock win over Mandrill, is causing some disturbances. He fears the youngster might choose this stage to do something stupid. Sadly his greater worry should of been Max inside the ring. He surrendered pretty weakly. Architect of his own downfall as tried to change to a more technical style feeling it might surprise Mandrill. However he gets easily picked off and taken out with a series of high impact moves culminating in COLONIZER CLAW SLAM. The intelligence Vertigo received them proves to be correct. Rebel Empire makes their way to ringside amid a chorus of boos. Max and Vertigo look vulnerable. They are marooned in the centre of the ring surrounded by the Colonizers. The rest of the team, apart from Blizzard, are busy doing a fund raiser activity back on Omicron. Or else they would of been here looking out for their team leader. Ready to intercept. Backstage Commissioner Morpheus is trying to alert a security team to move in but there were fears damage would be done before they get there. Suddenly a ball of ice whistles past Sentry’s nose and takes Mandrill off his feet. One by one the remaining Colonizers are taken down. It was Blizzard to the rescue. He emerges from what can only be described as a sniper position behind a screen. Max and Vertigo are able to leave the ring and step over the fallen Colonizers. Max gives Blizzard an appreciative pat on the back. Blizzard smiles at this gesture but that soon changes as Vertigo tries to do the same. Relations look frosty between him and Vertigo. Is this a side effect of Blizzard’s shock defeat of Mandrill earlier in the month?
Tag champs, the Centaurians, ends the challenge of X-Termination with a DQ win. Some fans were wishing the GWF would move on from pushing X-Termination as top contenders and give a tastier match. Maybe they’d forgotten how close they’d come to dethroning the Centaurians last time out until the time limit intervened. Not that X-Termination were taking it too seriously. Acting like a couple of lazy b*stards and doing next to no training. How do we know? Well Terak has a vested interest in them and has been moaning about their dedication to the new FDF. Guess a leopard will never change its spots. They are just lucky their immense talent often makes up for their bad attitudes. But on this occasion they are just completely lousy. Talisman explodes out the blocks and Grunge is knocked from pillar to post. Within no time at all Talisman comes down on him with AMULET DROP. Grunge kicks out but Talisman doesn’t dwell on this. He can see Blade is eager for his turn and tags him in. Blade walks straight over and unleashes SWITCHBLADE KICK. Sleeze makes a pin save to try and keep things going. Stamping on poor Blade’s head to break the cover. The referee takes no nonsense. Disqualified Sleeze for the action. Johnny Rocket moans at the decision only to shut straight up when he spies the ominous figure of Commissioner Morpheus out the corner of his eye. The new Commissioner is trying to keep close by at the GWF shows. After the bloodshed in the ladies championship match he decided he needed to be closer to the ring. It is clear that Morpheus is the man on the ground whilst Omega does much of their promotional and admin work. So far it’s working quite well and all incidents are being dealt with swiftly. This would also get heavily tested in the next match too.
Ursa Major defeated Brainstorm to win the Cruiserweight belt. The likes of Enigma and Lycosa were pretty ticked off but they must wait their turn. Brainstorm is a picture of confidence and proudly shows off a wrestling diploma he has created and awarded to himself. His ladies swoon over the self appreciating act. But then something Brainstorm didn’t bargain for. Vanity shows up and starts flirting with Maxine Babe. Unlike last time out she seems to like the attention and encourages it. Brainstorm is agitated but cannot get to Vanity because Ursa Major already wants to wrestle. Vanity hands Maxine a note or maybe it’s a picture. She takes one look and fans herself before pretending to feint. Darla rushes over and takes a look for herself and starts giggling. Meanwhile Ursa Major is really taking it to Brainstorm in the ring. The ladies attentions are diverted. It means when Brainstorm finds himself knotted in SHOTGUN CRADLE he doesn’t get any help. He cannot break free on his own and his tenure with both belts is a short one. Ursa Major is in dreamland as he is handed the title. Vanity stood to observe the transition and then leaves, mission accomplished as far as he was concerned.
Ladies champ, Amazonia, withstands a vile and bloody attack to see off Anaxis. Amazonia wonders how many times she has to beat Anaxis before she’ll be fed a new challenger. Unfortunately this shows just how thin the ladies roster still is. With many other females lacking activity, even Thrash, it means Anaxis is still the top contender. Something reinforced with an easy win over Ms. Liberty between now and their last title match. In a feisty opening scene Anaxis goes to break her bowl over Amazonia’s head. Amazonia skilfully rolls out of the ring and takes hold of her sword and shield. Anaxis doesn’t care and keeps coming at her armed with a shard of her bowl. Amazonia warns “don’t make me do this”. Shockingly Amazonia swings her sword but Anaxis picks up a small wooden stool and the weapon gets embedded into it. Anaxis is now able to pounce on Amazonia and scrapes the shard down the side of her face before tossing it. The ref doesn’t know what to do as the match hadn’t even started. Amazonia is bleeding but wants to continue. Reluctantly he agrees and Amazonia digs in for one of the all-time great performances to remain as champion. She knew it needed winning quickly before blood loss made her too weak. Using a missed turnbuckle charge to send Anaxis outside and gain the advantage. Anaxis really hurt in the resulting fall. Amazonia gathers every bit of strength she has left to get her back in the ring where AMAZON ATTACK is successfully used. No cheering from the fans, just fervent applause for the intestinal fortitude Amazonia had shown.
Pegasus coasts to victory over Colussus. Pegasus continues to try and move back up the queue for a title shot. Colussus presents a pretty big obstacle though. It’s one of those matches high on emotion. Even hard on Colussus as he sees his former friend and manager, Star Warrior. But he tries to brush it off and look all commanding. Even asking Thantos to hand him a towel. But Thantos is not one of those managers that panders to the whim of his wrestlers. Shows his authority with a dressing down of the new boy “what did your last slave die of? Don’t ever issue commands to me. You do as I say. Now get out there and beat that overrated scumbag”. Colussus twitches a little before obediently nodding. Star Warrior says nothing and just observes. What must be going through his head? The Titan fans are among the most well behaved and respectful in the entire cosmos but clearly the knives are out for Colussus and they vent their feelings. Pegasus then proceeds to skip through the match like it was a training exercise. Colussus just wasn’t up to scratch against him. From the moment Pegasus no sold a Cyborg Clothesline and just levelled Colussus with a bone-crunching clothesline it was all downhill. Pegasus delivers a barrage of level 3 offensive moves with several near pins. Ends up going full circle as the one that eventually floors Colussus long enough to complete a pin was a bone-crunching clothesline again. Thantos tried a distraction but this is the GWF and the referees aren’t so easily taken in by him here. It’s a disappointing result for Colussus who had been on a strong winning run. The honeymoon period had to eventually end though. Can he recover from this?
Anarchy knocks Archon out cold. Turns into a difficult first meeting for Archon. Originally Blade had signed to face Anarchy. Reportedlyagainst the wishes of Archon. All this got changed a couple of weeks ago as Archon steps in and Blade instead gets booked to help defend the tag titles. The love and protective nature Archon has towards young Blade is admirable but many of us agree he should of been free to take him on. Time to cut the umbilical chord. Hopefully there is no awkwardness now between Blade and Archon. Anyway it must be noted how popular Archon is on Titan. The fans appreciate his high morals and call him an honorary Titan. Sadly it all goes a bit pear shaped as he tries to stand up to Anarchy. With all the punishing torturous moves and Maleph also causing a distracting chaos it’s too much to cope with. He took CRUCIFIX DROP two times in what amounted to a brutalisation. It was incredible he actually kicked out the first one. Maybe his head missed the metal plate. But the second one left him unconscious. Anarchy is already striking fear into the fed and the manner of this win just increases all that. Final words come from Maleph who dares all members of the Centaurians to come to Brymstone but warns “on Brymstone no one can hear you scream. Or if they do then they’ll just come and kick your head in”.
Titan Fury goes over Blazing Skull and Death’s Head by DQ. Massive pop by the fans for their Titan heroes. Even beats the huge ovation the returning Pulsar got. Could they deal with this unorthodox Brymstonian team? Dragonmaster is particularly hungry for some action. Making the most of each and every match in his final year of wrestling. Also his friendship with Pulsar is still a deep one and Blazing is a current feud enemy of his. Death’s Head has past associations with Krakan so that makes him a natural opponent too. Becomes pretty tough for the Titans though. The Brymstonians were pretty savage but Titan Fury held out for a DQ win. Death’s Head was particularly ferocious. Excuse the pun but they needed to cool this guy down, as he was on fire. His FUNERAL MARCH gave DM plenty of problems. But as often happens the Brymstonians cause their own downfall. Maleph cannot stay quiet and needlessly tries some attacks leading to the outcome. Luckily DM fends him off and is able to safely go straight from this match into the commentary booth to call the remains of the card. His future in this capacity is virtually assured. Network execs and fans alike love his commentating style. There was a sigh of relief at this being over. Blazing Skull never got any opportunity to use the feared DEATH BY FIRE. After what happened to Bishop Hell it is a big risk to all that face him.
Painmaster beats Pulsar by DQ. Pulsar’s opponent Painmaster has plenty to say. Teasing the Titan fans that their faith in Pulsar is misplaced. “He’s a rule breaking no gooder with that illegal finisher of his. You are hypocrites for cheering him. Sentry is ready to shoot him down if he tries any funny business”. But before the action begins there is a big surprise. Pulsar takes the mic and proudly announces Lord Nexus will be in his corner as a one off. Well that just takes the roof off. Such an emotional reunion. But will Lord Nexus approve if ACID RAIN is thrown? Sadly the move doesn’t become a factor but Pulsar still got disqualified. For brawling. Incredibly petty decision from the referee and definitely not a popular one. Kind of watered down the whole big reunion occasion.

Latest News:
Disturbing scenes saw Anaxis bloody Amazonia with a shard from her iconic bowl. Possible permanent facial scarring as a result. Not on the same level Thantos suffered all those years ago but still pretty grisly. Despite the bloodshed Amazonia continued their match and still won. She makes it clear the level of revenge she will take has only just begun. Anaxis justified it as a self defence move after Amazonia had used her sword in a threatening manner. Will this create a side feud between Wolf and Heracles as a result? The two men will probably prefer not to be drawn into additional conflict but someone like Wolf might be unable to ignore it. Anaxis is heavily fined by the Commissioners. It’s the first criticism they have faced as a number of media personalities say the punishment doesn’t fit the crime. A lengthy suspension was also needed.
Big match on the horizon for the Champions. Star Warrior and Commander Sam are assembling the troops ready for a huge Titan Death Battlezone match against the Penthouse Suite in GWF territory on #971. Last time the Penthouse Suite swept their Battlezone over the FDF and that was without their ‘top guys’ being among their team. This time Prodigy and Paragon are sure to be involved. The Champions desperately need Pegasus to get back to somewhere near his brilliant best after some very mixed results so far. His last match versus Colussus was much more like it. Hopefully it continues. He’s also earned a shot at the GWF Heavyweight belt again so could even go into it as a champion again depending on when the match happens. The most worrying thing for the team is Star Warrior is being seen drinking a lot. His sister temporarily went off the rails last year and now we have this. As a teetotaller his father, Omega, would surely not approve. Star Warrior dismisses it as being for medicinal reasons. Prescribed to help deal with the stress built up in this pressure cooker environment. But we all know no good can come from drinking to forget your woes.
As if the love triangle of Brainstorm-Vanity-Maxine Babe isn’t enough Maxine is now trying to get her claws into Pegasus. Apparently, or so she tells him in secret texts, she has always admired him for his good looks and high morals. Am sure his success helps too. Pegasus is trying to ignore the attention but when alleged provocative pics also accompany the messages it’s pretty hard. Will such rumours spark Brainstorm or Vanity into a little side feud with him? They can’t hold a candle to his talents in the ring so it could be a futile thing to pursue. Plus Pegasus has hands pretty full with the Champions-CPC feud. Maybe Maxine’s attention seeking will just pass. Speaking of Brainstorm he has experienced unexpected success. He won the vacant CPC Cruiserweight belt. Obviously still not enough to keep Maxine’s eyes from wandering but it’s an incredible turnaround from last year. His record was wretched and he was struggling to get off the dark shows.
Blade goes public on the ridiculous rumours that he and Archon are at odds. Prompted by Archon’s intervention in Blade facing Anarchy. He simply said “I respect Archon’s advice. And advice is all it was which I took. He was the same when I first went up against Blazing Skull. These are dangerous beings and we have to tread carefully. Anarchy represents perhaps an even greater threat than Blazing Skull. Archon also reminded me that I am co-holder of the tag team belts and that I have responsibility to this. It would of been foolish of me to jeopardise that. I know my day with Anarchy will come. Just need to be patient”. Perhaps Archon will step aside now. Having taken on and lost big to Anarchy he is having to deal with the worst run of his career so far. Losing run of 4 singles matches. He’d already lost to Death’s Head one-on-one last month too. Whilst there was a disappointing cage defeat to Blazing Skull late last year as well as bombing out of OTB in the first round.
Blizzard may of made a crucial save on the last card to help Max Shield but is he back to old disruptive ways? After stunning Mandrill he now wants a singles push. It’s amazing that such a huge win for the Genesis team is actually proving counterproductive. Vertigo won’t be drawn on comments when approached. He is trying to deal with the problem internally and keep things as private as possible.
Malice gets over his failure to win the GWF Heavyweight belt by declaring he wants the head of Colussus. The tension between the Gladiators and CPC is heating up all the time but after Colussus had the audacity to impersonate FIELDS OF MALICE in a match against Sleeze things went up a few degrees. Malice considers this a huge insult and will punish Colussus for mocking him.
The many faces of Mad Jester are causing lots of entertainment although am not sure the likes of Commander Sam or even the CPC are enjoying it much. You just never know what is going to come through that curtain and it cost the CPC a match against Jack of Diamonds. The same could quite easily happen to the Champions team. Jack is trying to be positive by saying “things are far better with him than they have been in last few years. We thought Defender was lost forever. I predict his appearances as Jester will be become more infrequent as time goes by”.
The Mercenaries are back and it cannot come soon enough for Dark Justice who endured a nightmarish month at the hands of CPC Lottery. He has told Krakan he doesn’t want to be further dragged into battling Splatter and Vyper. His focus is on capturing titles and dealing with Draconian Sheik.
Questionable CPC rankings system at play again but nobody cares this time. Because Gila gets to go for the Interstellar belt. Massive support for this new darling of the GWF fans. Can he shock Colussus? With Mollock in your corner anything’s possible.
It is still a couple of months away but the GWF has said FESTIVAL OF FIRE will be held at the most dangerous place in the cosmos, the Brymstone Battle Dome. Could be a ratings hit but it’s incredibly risky. Although it is very quickly clear Commissioner Morpheus is prepared to take risks to save the fed he helped create.
INJURED – Skinhead (3), Bishop Hell (11); SUSPENDED – none
WRESTLER OF THE MONTH:
VANITY - I like to use these monthly awards to sometimes recognise wrestlers who wouldn’t normally be in the running for the top titles or involved in main events. It’s not always about belts or even wins. With that in mind Vanity is wrestler of the month. For the way he has come straight back in, got under the skin of Brainstorm and made himself immediately relevant and entertaining. The fact he blew Brainstorm away in only 4 moves also helps a lot. The way he is going he might just be able to win Maxine Babe back or maybe even end up stealing Darla away. Or both!
TAG TEAM OF THE MONTH:
HUNTERS OF PREY - They are hot! Unbelievable month from this exciting new team. To go to Pelf Palace and upset Desolation Factor with everything against them was unthinkable. But they did it! It also helped harmonise Terak and Johnny Rocket. The contempt Johnny has for all things CPC is well known. So for his new allies to go and pull this off against them gives him a respect for the Savage Kingdom that was previously slightly lacking. Not forgetting the way the Hunter’s almost followed this up by beating the Gladiators. Future champions for sure if they can keep this up.

CARD 969 – UMBRIEL SKYDOME:
Heavyweight champ, Mandrill, loses to Pegasus by DQ. Even when he’s not been at his best you can’t keep Pegasus out the title picture. He rose above some shaky form to suddenly blow Colussus away and make the Commissioners take notice. Although Chaos, unhappy to be on the outside looking in, could not help having his say that it was blatant favouritism from Omega towards the Champions team. Morpheus then said “it was my decision, so you can cut all that speak out unless you want to cop a hefty fine”. So to the match and Star Warrior walks out behind Pegasus looking like the weight of the world is on his shoulders. He is under pressure, as reported by his stories of excessive drinking, needing titles to come back into his team. Desperately hoping the void is only temporary and will be over by the end of this match. Good job Pegasus looks the opposite. Carrying himself with an air of confidence. So much so that he doesn’t even give Mandrill the opportunity of an entrance. Jumping out of the ring to meet him in the runway. Sentry got taken out first and then Mandrill got pitched face first into the barrier. Pegasus then rips the belt from his waist. Holding onto it with one hand whilst dragging Mandrill towards the ring with the other. The belt is handed to the ref who takes that as his cue to officially start. Quite the opening and not something Mandrill expected. He never gets to grips with Pegasus after this who is putting out a flurry of big level 3 moves. Several early pinning attempts too. Then comes PROJECT PEGASUS. Star Warrior’s mood changes and his arms are up in premature celebration as Sentry fires a shot with the stun gun which misses. But Sentry wasted no time following up this miss by storming the ring. The ref gets pushed aside and Sentry smashes Pegasus on the back of the head. Star Warrior reacts and flies into the action. Flooring Sentry but it’s no good because the ref has decided to disqualify Mandrill. Star Warrior pleads with him to let it continue but nothing doing. The frustration extends beyond Pegasus and Star Warrior. Chaos had planned to make an immediate challenge to the winner afterwards but he knows it will be fruitless as Pegasus will surely be given a rematch before that’s even considered.
Thrash bloodied poor Amazonia to become new ladies champ. Not what you want. Amazonia’s wounds are still raw and she’s now facing Thrash who could very well open them up again. As a result Amazonia is wearing a protective facial mask. Thrash calls it a big improvement to her looks. It’s a pretty short match and things end up worse for Amazonia. Started pretty good but then lost her way and Thrash got the title off her with FEMME FATAL. Thrash was then unable to resist removing the mask and used a spike from her shoulder pads to draw blood from the other side of the face. A matching scar is carved. Some of the fans were pretty sick at the sight of the blood. It all left quite the mess. Poor Amazonia was clutching her face not letting medics see. They had to guide her away. Many of the crowd had been desperately calling out for Wolf during this. The reason he never showed up was because there were some afters from his own match with Heracles and the security was struggling to separate them. Their paths having crossed in the immediate aftermath.
Amazonia is injured for 4 cards as a result of this but refuses to let it sideline her. Remarkably she wants to continue with planned revenge matches with Anaxis. She doesn’t mention Thrash despite the despicable act but is sure to be after too as soon as possible. Thrash didn’t get away with the savagery of the attack. The new Commissioners move to suspend her for 6 cards. Normally a suspension as long as that would stop a champion making the mandatory title defence and result in them being stripped. However Thrash is lucky with this. She has just enough of a window next month to squeeze it in.
Wolf defeated Heracles on a DQ decision. They both have the women in their lives to blame for this. Amazonia and Anaxis lost the plot with each other and as a result now Wolf and Heracles face off. They felt compelled to. Both women are banned from being at ringside. It maybe an unwelcome distraction but Wolf never gives anything less than his all. Whether he’s wrestling a Gladiator, enhancement talent or in this case Heracles. Dives straight into it. Heracles is pretty clever though. When removing all his chains and medallions he kept one concealed in his hand. As the pair of them go to ground he manages to get a chain around the neck of Wolf and mask it from the ref via a headlock. Although Wolf breaks free and goes onto largely dominate the match. Even having an unsuccessful attempt with SAVAGE FACE CLAW but the chain becomes a constant weapon. As the action spills outside the ring Heracles becomes less shy about using it under the referee’s nose. It leads to his disqualification. The final scene before security smothers them is Wolf latched on with the claw whilst Heracles has the chain wrapped around his throat. Both under extreme duress but refusing to buckle. They are finally pulled apart. Wolf was wheezing and had a bright red line around his neck but was still having to be restrained. With this finish it has added more spice to the Amazonia-Anaxis feud. A mixed tag involving all of them is coming soon.
Desolation Factor beats the Mercenaries by DQ. Desolation Factor looking to recover from their Pelf Palace horror show but laying waste to ageing tag legends, the Mercenaries. Quite the match for Vigilante to be returning from injury. The Mercenaries refused to roll over though. They’ve seen it all before and wrestle smart. Causing frustration and managing to avoid most of the big moves. Although Vigilante quickly realised it would take more than wrestling to hurt these behemoths. Resorts to using the butt of his rifle against Ruin whilst they brawl outside. No way the ref was going to let that go. Even though his team had won Doomsayer wasn’t happy. He had wanted Desolation Factor to finally make a big statement but it was just another stumbling effort.
Vyper squashes the Creeper. Vyper faces old friends in consecutive shows. Tonight the primitive Creeper. Next week it gets more emotional as it will be Wildcat. Vyper’s promo centres on his old partner calling him “the weak link on our team”. He will polish off the Creeper before moving onto him. Given the circumstances it is perhaps a surprise that only Terak is ringside. However he reasoned it might be too risky to have Mollock out there too. No telling what he might do or even what Vyper will try. It is no surprise that Vyper wins with ease via VYPER’S SIDESHOW. Terak doesn’t try to get involved. His main aim was to ensure the Creeper didn’t get assaulted. With all due respect the next meeting between Vyper and Wildcat is of far greater importance.
Ninja Assassins demolished Frozen Fury. Has Vertigo squashed the mutiny already? Blizzard is back in tag action and looking calm. Unfortunately the Ninja Assassins wrestled fact a blinder to give another headache. Blizzard never got out of the ring. The Ninjas swarmed all over him. A perfect setup from a Daeman Death Grip and then comes DOUBLE EDGE SWORD. The speed at which it all happened gave neither Buck nor Vertigo anytime to react.

CARD 970 – UMBRIEL SKYDOME:
Tag champs, the Centaurians, far too good for the Stormtroopers. Believe it or not but the Stormtroopers come into this riding a 7 month unbeaten streak in tag action. That’s how they were able to rise to the championship match. The Centaurians would do well not to underestimate them. Cassandra is at her annoying best. Screeching and also brandishing her dominatrix whip. Lashing it against the ring apron as part of her attention seeking. Just making everyone feel pretty uncomfortable. The champs do their best to ignore her and hope to keep their solid run going. They do just that by being totally professional. The Stormtroopers are just not up to it. Blade managed to pin Hammer after SWITCHBLADE KICK. He’d earlier been a bit perturbed when Hammer kicked out after the move. But if at first you don’t succeed try again. Little bit of drama greeted them afterwards. One of the perks of being a champion is you often get your own private dressing room at the plusher venues. Well the Centaurians got back to theirs and found it had been broken into. Some of their possessions were burned and words “see you in hell” scratched into the wall. The handywork of the Brymstonians. With a GWF trip to the Battle Dome coming next month this seems to be a challenge done in their own inimitable style.
Pegasus labours to victory over Vanity. On paper this should be a walkover for Pegasus but the presence of Maxine Babe keeps him on his toes. It’s not clear if she is here to assist Vanity or just swoon over Pegasus. Of course there is Reynard B. Guile too and his own manager, Star Warrior. Quite an audience out there. Clearly Vanity wishes it was a gorgeous woman directing him rather than B. Guile. Moans at B. Guile to cut him some slack over his constant instructions. But the snivelling little manager takes no notice and gets under everybody’s skin as usual. He does actually make a big difference. Pegasus pummelled Vanity from the bell and is about to ready to seal a quick pin. Then B. Guile distracts everyone and stole a lipstick from Maxine’s make up bag. Tossed into Vanity. When Pegasus comes back over Vanity jabs it in the eye and Pegasus has to take evasive action to kick out on the follow up pin. The effects of the eye injury sustained clearly bothers Pegasus and he has huge difficulty closing this out. A real struggle for several minutes until a bone-crunching clothesline connects perfectly to almost take Vanity’s head off.
Nefarus chops down Chaos. I think it’s almost a given that Chaos is building towards a huge meeting with Mandrill. Maybe it’ll be saved until GALACTICON. But before he can get to Mandrill again he’ll need to keep facing his underlings. Although Nefarus won’t take kindly to being described like that. He is still being touted as the co-leader of the Colonizers and villain team. At least on the outside. Nefarus is all too aware that he needs to show he has abilities on the level of Mandrill and winning this would be huge. He goes for broke and uses his powerful leg muscles to pull off SCISSORDRIVER early. A strike like that would of knocked the stuffing out of most people but not Chaos. He powers back and has Nefarus in a front bear hug outside of the ring. A variation on his crushing finisher only for Sentry to smash him from behind with a chair. It put Nefarus straight back on top and he pitches the huge frame of Chaos back into the ring before unleashing a Genesis Rocket Launcher and then pinning him. Stunned silence at the outcome. The fans had been on the side of Chaos. That’s how much the Colonizers are despised. Also post match outcry as to why the ref did nothing to stop the assault. It is thought he was under instruction to be lenient as the new Commissioners (mostly Morpheus) were unhappy with the amount of DQ outcomes on the last show and felt under pressure.
Wildcat gets the better of his former partner Vyper. Great win attained by Wildcat. He quickly upsets Vyper via WILDCAT STRIKE straight after getting out of the path of a deathjump. But the actual match was overshadowed by a potentially nasty scene as Splatter came out and tried to take down Mollock with Arsenal. Thankfully a powerful arm comes up to grab it and ripped from Splatter’s grasp. The weapon then gets flung with tremendous force into the crowd. Hopefully it didn’t hit anyone. A valuable souvenir to be sure. Splatter rages and tries to jump into the crowd to retrieve it but gets pulled back and pressed by Mollock. Is Arsenal now lost forever?
Thunder and Overkill annihilated Titan Fury. Thunder and Overkill want the tag belts again but won’t be happy to have to endure the trivialities of a rankings match. But even the Gladiators aren’t above all that. Titan Fury is keen to have a run at them too what with time running out on Dragonmaster’s career. Sadly the Titans make no impression. Rising Sun got marooned and becomes a punching bag. He does well to endure as much punishment as he does including DECAPITATOR (DM pin save to thank for that). But after acquiring a 6th fatigue token Overkill goes for TURNBUCKLE TRAP (again) and the suffering is over.
Dreadnaught over Mutant by DQ. Dreadnaught is drifting aimlessly as a loner but refuses to call time on his wrestling career despite a probable future of being cannon fodder for the majority of the roster. He wanted to renew his rivalry with Soldier of Fortune here but all he could get was a match against Mutant. Lucky for him no sign of the Terrorists. Makes the best of it to win here. But maybe frustrated to see how weak his GUIDED MISSILE has become. Mutant made an easy kick out. It even came close to then winning with TEMPLE GRINDER. But Dreadnaught clung on and ultimately won by DQ after Mutant started going nuts outside the ring.

CARD 971 – SATURDAY NIGHT STARSLAMMERS – DEIMOS INTERGALACTIC ARENA:
The Champions are superior to Penthouse Suite in a Titan Death Battlezone. The Champions almost miss the start after somebody tampers with the video screen in the wrestler’s lounge. They are all there watching a delayed feed and the curtain call is so close to being missed and match forfeited. Star Warrior is only alerted when his father, Omega, darts in and demands to know what they are doing. Star Warrior almost loses his rag at the dressing down but then panics when he realises what they are watching is not happening in real time. Adam just about made it in time for the opener against Colussus but got wasted immediately. This could easily of unsettled the whole team but the Champions led by Pegasus storm back for a brilliant victory. Here’s how the matches went down … Colussus dumps US. Patriot in just one move. Adam raced to the ring to beat the countdown. Colussus just waited for him to enter the ring and met him with a Cyborg Clothesline for the pin. Fasted ever match timed at 4 seconds. Mega embarrassing … Pegasus eliminates Colussus. Culmination of an exhausting month for Pegasus as he just scrapes past Colussus. Wasn’t about to be caught by the same move as Adam. Too strong for that. But he has trouble with Colussus’s comebacks after some of his best moves. The robotic side absorbing many an impact. This was much closer than their last meeting but Pegasus eventually gets it done via PROJECT PEGASUS. What’s more he managed to get through token free … Pegasus sees off the Matador in just 2 moves. The speed of these matches is incredible. First move sees Matador whip Pegasus into the ropes but falls victim to a sunset flip on the rebound. He bursts out the pin attempt but walks straight into PROJECT PEGASUS and it’s see you later … Pegasus continues his stunning run by beating Paragon. Another match negotiated and still no fatigue tokens. Paragon barely got a meaningful shot in before he also falls to PROJECT PEGASUS after a few minutes … Pegasus seals the overall win by beating Prodigy. Holy smokes, what a contest. Pegasus wins his fourth in a row but this was no walkover. After starting strong he finally runs into resistance. Prodigy gave it everything and had several pin attempts. One was very close after using THE PERFECT SINGLES FINISHER. Pegasus rides out the all the punishment and comes back with, yep you guessed it, PROJECT PEGASUS. Meant a dominating win for the Champions that had seemed so unlikely after the awful start.
Cruiserweight champ, Ursa Major, dazzles to beat Enigma. Little personal battle between Enigma and Lycosa going on as to who can win the GWF Cruiserweight belt first. Now is Enigma’s big chance. DM on commentary “Enigma has wisely held back until now. He stayed out of the CPC tournament and took it slow whilst Lycosa has been chasing everything. Could be a classic case of the Tortoise and Hare”. Of course once inside the ring you can hardly describe Enigma as a Tortoise. The speed of his moves are mind blowing. Ursa Major initially struggling to cope. Even though he is the champ he is considered as the underdog. Fan frustration as Ursa Major keeps ignoring chances to bail out the ring and stop the onslaught. But he fears for FEET OF FURY if he does. Proves a savvy move because Enigma, although on top, lacks the heavy hitting moves to finish it. Ursa Major rides it out and starts to get a foothold. Out of nowhere trying SHOTGUN CRADLE four times in a row. The final one was cruelly disrupted by Darkos which gave Enigma a chance to smash him down from behind. But the tide didn’t turn for too long. Ursa Major is now in the groove and sees Enigma’s second wave off. Then a nifty flying head scissors converts into a pin attempt and it’s a successful one. Big crowd pop for the outcome. Darkos shocked. He thought it was a foregone conclusion Enigma would be adding the Cruiserweight belt to the IP one currently in the custody of the Masked Assassins. Would of made the team look very strong.
Painmaster dominates Manslaughter to become IP champ again. Manslaughter still cannot believe he is wearing this belt. So long in the doldrums as Darkos preferred to push Enigma, Lycosa and the Ninjas. But now arguably the top guy on the team. For how long depends on him. Can he build a reign and prove his beating of Wraith wasn’t just a flash in the pan? It is actually a delicate situation for Darkos. His team has pledged allegiance to the Colonizers so to be going against Painmaster made his role difficult. No doubt Sentry would be active to try and take the belt but if Darkos makes him a similar nuisance of himself it could draw the ire of Mandrill. He would certainly not want his team alienated. His discipline is tested to the fore as Manslaughter stumbles very quickly. Getting caught out with a blow when trying a clumsy whip into the ropes. Painmaster totally dominant after that. Winning with THE TORTURE RACK. Took a couple of goes and not made easy by Manslaughter’s size but does the job. Darkos watched it all happen but stayed still. Had to grin and bear it. Does Manslaughter have much of a future in the Masked Assassins after this? His belt success is over in the blink of an eye and probably a false dawn. With Painmaster holding the belt and a sworn enemy will this rekindle Wraith’s interest in the belt?
The Mercenaries beat Draconian Sheik and Splatter (aka Butcher’s Delight) by DQ. Everyone wrongly assumed Drac and Splatter would pair up this year. But Splatter admires Drac’s ‘mild mannered nature’ and asked the Terrorists if they could team. Maybe they can learn off each other, lol. Not sure how the CPC feels about Splatter fraternising with the dangerous Terrorists without approval. Splatter didn’t stay without his trusty weapon for too long. Money talks and a huge offer from the coffers of Colby and Pelf persuaded the fan that held Arsenal to part with the souvenir. They will also be guests of honour at the next CPC show. No real secret Soldier of Fortune isn’t the happiest of bunnies in the Hitmen. He really didn’t want this match against two crazed lunatics and felt forced into it. He rides some rough offence initially as Splatter singles him out for treatment but the attacks burn out. After that the experience of the Mercenaries comes to the fore and they takeover. Two attempts with OPERATION: AMBUSH on Drac are ruined by the distractions of the Terrorists. Then when Soldier of Fortune goes for THE REVENGER there is an instinctive kickout from Drac. But he is on the ropes. During a brief turnover in offence Vigilante then found himself outside. The Terrorists, feeling the match will probably be lost, decide to assault him and draw the DQ. Lucky for Vigilante the GWF had the resources here to stifle anything serious. A security team comes out fast and gets among everyone to stop anything sinister.
Wolf and Amazonia beat Heracles and Anaxis by DQ in mixed tag. Amazonia’s scars still looking pretty red. She is fired up and yells to Anaxis “you got some nerve showing your face after what you did”. Anaxis boldly quips back “looks who’s talking”. Wolf didn’t like that and almost savages Anaxis in response. Amazonia manages to calm him down and says “let me deal with her”. Heracles just relaxes against the ropes watching this play out. When he finally decides to get underway he treats Anaxis like a doormat and even tried to send her out against Wolf. That’s not permitted and the ref reminds him of that. He lazily enters the ring to face him as if the whole thing is a massive inconvenience. Although when he does get to wrestling fares pretty well. Giving Wolf some problems with a couple of OLYMPIA hits. The action switches to the women after a few minutes and neither is holding back. They end up brawling outside the ring. Anaxis tried to give Amazonia more injuries via a chair shot. Nothing resolved as a DQ called. Rematch on the horizon next month.
Rebel Empire ends the sizzling run of Hunters of Prey. The Hunters were looking to continue their incredible form. Performances against Desolation Factor and the Gladiators have catapulted them towards the summit of the tag ranks. They are understandably confident and looking very sharp but soon get brought back down with a bump. Rebel Empire inflicts EMPIRE TRIUMPHANT on Karah three times. It was astonishing to see him muster kickouts for the first two but nobody can take so many hits as that. The effects of the DDT meant he had to be treated for concussion afterwards. Despite the defeat Terak is still positive about the team and says of the outcome “no harm done”.
Overkill defeated Ruin. Slow start to the Gladiators-Desolation Factor rivalry. This is the first of a couple singles matches running across the next 2 shows. Neither team has really set things alight so far this year. Poor ref who has to control this looks like he is having palpitations as these two giants come into the ring. Gets out the way pronto, not wanting to be the meat in their sandwich. In truth it’s not a great spectacle. Pretty pedestrian. Overkill enjoyed the greater share of meaningful offence and managed to win with TURNBUCKLE TRAP. The best thing about it was afterwards. They clashed again behind the curtain and the ensuing brawl brought much wreckage. Bring on the first tag bout between the teams. That should be much much more explosive.
Velar pretty much enjoys smooth sailing in beating Ms. Liberty. On a night of plenty Champions-Penthouse Suite skirmishes we have the women facing off too. Velar arrogantly proclaims she is wasting her time facing an old lady like Ms. Liberty and vows to finish it off quickly. Then she has her sights set on going after the GWF ladies belts to go along the CPC she recently won/inherited. Ms. Liberty does her best to make it a decent contest and probably strung it longer than Velar hoped. But in the end the gulf in ability showed. Velar is able to use HAMMERLOCK SLAM to end it.

CARD 972 – PELF PALACE:
Wolf defies the odds to beat Prodigy for the CPC Heavyweight belt in a match where Scourge was acting as ref. Does Wolf even have a prayer with the corrupt Scourge being allocated to officiate this match? Prodigy had been hoping his former Citadel team mate Heracles would of put a few bumps on Wolf at STARSLAMMERS but nothing doing. Wolf is as fired up as ever. He has never cared much for any belt before but for some reason this CPC one is driving him nuts with desire. It’s all he’s been talking about. Some suspect he just wants to win it so he can disrespect it. But first he’s got to win it. In the opening minutes Wolf is really under the cosh. Prodigy showing he doesn’t need any help. He manages to direct Wolf outside and Thantos cannot resist trying to attack. Knows Scourge will be very relaxed about anything he tries. But Wolf shocks Thantos by springing up having played dead. Knocks Thantos straight into Prodigy who had jumped over the top rope onto the floor once he saw Wolf had got up. Before Prodigy knew what was happening he was back in the ring and locked in SAVAGE FACE CLAW. That looked bad but Scourge demanded a break of hold claiming Prodigy was near the ropes even though he looked a couple of feet away. Wolf angrily releases and goes again but lost momentum after this. Prodigy able to comeback. Becoming more even and less incident packed in the next few minutes. That is until Prodigy went for a deathjump/crossbody. He just connects with thin air and eats mat. Wolf had gotten out of the way and excitedly dives on him for the cover. The impact had stunned Prodigy so much that even a slow count from Scourge couldn’t save him. Stunned silence throughout the Palace as Wolf wins the belt. He swings it over his head whilst running down the red carpet. Will the CPC see it in this state again? Dissecting this the CPC won’t be happy and will of course be worried about the safety of their expensive belt. But maybe it gives them a chance to push in a new direction and have other CPC guys go for the belt. Deep down we all know their top guys are Paragon, Matador and Colussus in that order. Prodigy is a unique talent but probably not a totally fitting figurehead for their organisation.
CPC Tag champs, Theatre of Pain, give a strong performance to see off Hunters of Prey. The Hunters defeat of Desolation Factor largely responsible for this unexpected title shot so soon after formation. Wildcat’s previous work in the Hunter’s Moon tag team also a factor. Perhaps they have been punching above their weight a bit though. They were put back in their place by Rebel Empire on the previous card and it could of knocked their confidence. However they do have both Terak and Mollock with them again. Terak is surprised at the lack of restrictions and is making the most of it before the CPC stance changes. Unfortunately Karah gets swamped by both members of Theatre of Pain from the opening bell. Barely a minute gone by he becomes the main act of SHAKESPEARE and things look bleak. Terak resists trying interference preferring to rely on a pin save first. But Wildcat’s intrusion is foiled and Karah ended up in a worse state as he got further double teamed before Comedy gleefully pins him. Sadly Savage Kingdom has fallen short in both their attempts to raid CPC gold tonight. Hopefully they can recover from this and try again in the future.
CPC Interstellar champ, Colussus, predictably swatted the challenge of Gila away. Gila has to pinch himself. He cannot believe the position he finds himself in. Luckily all his friends are with him. Terak and Mollock allowed ringside. It’s a big night for Savage Kingdom what with this and the Hunters going for tag glory in the next match. The prizes on offer are bigger than ever for a team often considered more of a support act to other hero teams. On seeing Colussus coming down the red carpet Gila snaps out of being starstruck and looks primed and ready for action. His tongue protrudes and the fists are up and clenched (Gila still thinks that looks menacing). But Colussus makes mincemeat of him almost straight away. The only real offensive move Gila managed was an elbow up as Colussus tried a turnbuckle charge. Sod’s law it hit the robotic side and hurt Gila more. Colussus seemed to then drag it out. Actually trying Gila’s own GUT CHECK twice but soon realises what an ineffective move it is as Gila kicked out both times. Later turns to the trusty ROBOTIC DEATHBLOW and that brings down the curtain on the match.
CPC Cruiserweight champ, Brainstorm, keeps the belt as he beats Halcon Oro by DQ. The Golden Hawk has dazzled ever since his arrival, surely destined for greater things. The commentators have been running out of adjectives to describe some of the things he does. Some of his moves should be watched back in slow motion to catch them. He could be even more spectacular than Enigma and Lycosa. Unfortunately this proved to be a pretty disastrous attempt to win the belt. Having been heavily favoured he got suckered in by Maxine Babe on the first move allowing Brainstorm to surprise with an ambush bulldog. It rattled him but still with enough awareness to bail out onto the apron. Brainstorm was busy showboating so Halcon Oro went to the top rope for something spectacular. But instead of leaping at Brainstorm he goes to payback Maxine Babe and swivels to target her. Perfect connection but no way even the CPC can be allowing acts like that on the weaker sex no matter how much she deserved it. Ref calls DQ. Darla angrily tries to bash Halcon Oro with her silly pom-poms before she is shoved away. Halcon Oro then storms off. Brainstorm proudly reclaims the belt and walks off like he’s the greatest thing ever. Not caring for Maxine Babe who needed medical assistance. Commissioner Grogan was unhappy Halcon Oro didn’t win and remarks to Magnus Colby sat next to him “that belt would fit him like a glove. Maybe we should sign this guy permanently? Only a matter of time before he wins it”.
Velar and Amazonia slug out a double DQ in a match for the CPC Ladies belt. The brutality of an unexpected feud with Anaxis has done nothing to dampen Amazonia’s resolve to win the CPC belt. Many wrestlers have shown desire to hold belts in both organisations and she is no exception. There are no restrictions on this, at least not yet. Velar has the same plan. Although Amazonia has since dropped the GWF belt between the time this was booked and tonight so would have to set about reclaiming that to reach her goal even if she was successful here. Potentially it could have been great but ends in an ugly mess. Amazonia did well to make light of her injuries and survive HAMMERLOCK SLAM during its course. Otherwise it was very close between them until the action spilled from the ring. They both then decided to grab a hold of the nearest weapon. For Amazonia it was a spear whilst Thrash unseats an official to have his chair. They end up in a stand off with weapons raised. The ref looks up at the gallery unsure on what to do about it. Commissioner Grogan draws a finger across his throat to signify it was time to cut the match. As soon as the announcer declares the double DQ the angry ladies throw down their weapons and head off in opposite directions. Unclear if they will meet again after that. Double DQ outcomes do not go down well in the CPC as it puts entertainment over most other matters.
Mayhem goes nuts to beat Spike. For the returning Spike it’s a step into the unknown. After all his time away how would he cope against the lunacy of Mayhem? It’s a no win situation for Mayhem. If he beats Spike he will incur the wrath of the other Gladiators but if he loses then will be on thin ground with the CPC. They represent his only option to carry on wrestling at the highest level. But that seems to be a million miles from his brain as he rips into Spike. At first it looked like Spike might be overwhelmed. Can hardly get his footing. This did improve though and he went toe to toe for a while. But there was no stopping Mayhem this time. He was like a thing possessed and a snake eyes roll following Mayhem Manslaughter got Spike pinned. Having won Mayhem didn’t want to stop there. A finish on doubles necessitated a look up on the feud table. It referenced an ally joining Mayhem to inflict more punishment. But even though Mayhem is an Outcast member he doesn’t really have close allies. Certainly none that would put their neck on the line for him. So instead Mayhem went on alone. Plucking one of Spike’s own spikes from his Gladiator armour to carve at his forehead until drenched in blood. Mayhem almost slipped in a pool of it when it was time to leave. Spike did recover despite the mess. It probably looked worse than it really was to the naked eye. He grabbed the floating mic before the announcer could get it. Dares Mayhem to try that again when they face off another in match. In his words “is next week too soon?” Except it’ll have to wait til next month remembering Mayhem is banished from the GWF. Hopefully it’ll happen with a special match flavour added.
Splatter over Skinhead by DQ. Skinhead returns from a long, long injury lay off to face his attacker. Johnny Rocket keeping everything crossed he doesn’t sustain another bad injury. Claims there “is a CPC witch hunt against the Rocket Men, erm sorry, I mean new FDF”. Splatter turns his attention to Johnny “your a bad egg. Maybe I should let Arsenal loose on you”. As Johnny backs away with Splatter coming towards him it gives Skinhead the opportunity to jump him from the side. Of course Splatter fights back but it showed that Skinhead was not messing around. He was prepared to fight dirty to survive. It wasn’t that great a match. Both unable to get the upper hand and it dragged a bit. Not a single pin attempt made. Inevitably it spilled from ring where Skinhead decided to try and give Splatter a little taste of his own medicine. Grabbing Johnny’s mic and ramming into the crotch of Splatter. Means a DQ loss but you got the sense that wasn’t important to Skinhead. He departed with Johnny Rocket satisfied he had left Splatter breathless in the ring.
Rack beats Thunder by DQ. Would this match the carnage of the last bout between Desolation Factor and the Gladiators on Deimos? Ruin and Overkill join the respective managers/bodyguards at ringside. Never more than a metre apart. No question Thunder is the superior wrestler. Several pin attempts and using THE TEMPEST twice. Rack kept in it though largely down to Ruin. Of course any trips out the ring got the partners involved. So when Rack bailed out and was sniffing around objects for weapons Overkill attacked him. Ruin and Thunder then piled in and it was a brawl to the back

Latest News:
US. Patriot wrote himself into the record books for all the wrong reasons. Quickest match ever. Caught out by being late to the opening match he walked straight into a Cyborg Clothesline from Colussus at the start of the Champions-Penthouse Suite match. Pinned in just 4 seconds. Can’t see that ever being beaten. Luckily the Champions recovered sufficiently. Led by Pegasus they marched to a brilliant victory. Star Warrior gave them more reasons to cheer by getting a handle on his stress and kicking the booze habit. Hopefully onwards and upwards. No reason why he cannot emulate the managerial achievements of his famed father, Omega. Just needs to believe in himself. What with this win it actually puts the GWF in a pretty strong looking position. They blitzed Penthouse Suite and control 7 of the 10 available belts across the two organisations. Can they keep this going?
Penthouse Suite continues the trend of Battlezone matches as they will now encounter the Gladiators. There is plenty of pressure on Thantos. Especially after the loss to the Champions. His bosses have been pouring resources into this team. More money being thrown at the wrestlers to ensure they stay onboard this year and beyond. Plus a dedicated gym built at the Palace exclusively for their use. Colby and Pelf will continue to expect big returns on their investment.
There was an amazing scene at Pelf Palace as Wolf won the CPC Heavyweight belt. A rude shock for Colby and Pelf. They have warned there will be tough sanctions if he desecrates the belt or fails to defend it according to their demands. They will be busily meeting Commissioner Grogan lining up guys to take it off him. Grogan apparently favours pushing new guy Colussus (although his holding of the Interstellar belt might make that unfeasible), Colby prefers old favourites Paragon and Matador whilst Sonora Pelf fancies letting the Outcasts loose and giving one of them a push. That’s before even any GWF guys are considered. It will be interesting to see who the first challenger to Wolf will be.
Mandrill is laughing at the form of Chaos. The big man was making noises about challenging for the title again but then went and lost to Nefarus to continue a poor start to 2107. He sees him as very little threat now. Of course Chaos isn’t about to cave in and cites shady officiating for his latest loss. He is still confident when they face off again that he will prevail. The only problem Mandrill might have is the rising prominence of Nefarus. His win over Chaos could muddy the waters and give Nefarus future impetus as a singles star. Outwardly the right hand man of Mandrill but in reality subservient. Ideally Mandrill needs Nefarus successful in tag teaming and out of the singles picture.
Johnny Rocket is a work obsessed freak according to Qualitar who accuses him of trying to impress and join the CPC, “the guy is jealous of my role as the greatest pundit in the cosmos. Keeps showing up at the Palace scrounging for work”. Johnny bites back with claims Qualitar is blackmailing him about Kronoscam (remember that?) in order to make him stay away from the CPC but he has no evidence and besides he wouldn’t ever want to work for “an organisation destined to fail”. This media feud between the two media personalities is almost a entertaining as the wrestling itself.
Next big event in the calendar is FESTIVAL OF FIRE. Involving a dangerous trip to Brymstone where the new speciality of Anarchy will be showcased. It’s a Total Anarchy match. Is Archon digging his own grave by agreeing to it? The main event will see Pegasus challenge Mandrill again for the Heavyweight title. It will be a Scorpi King of the Ring match. Mandrill calls it his speciality but he already lost his first one against Blizzard. He’ll need to be much better than he was in that to keep hold of his belt. Plenty more matches to be booked over coming weeks but these two are sure to be most talked about.
INJURED – Amazonia (1), Bishop Hell (7); SUSPENDED – Thrash (3)
WRESTLER OF THE MONTH:
PEGASUS - He had a real busy month but won all his matches (6 in all). His run against Penthouse Suite in the Battlezone match was the most impressive feat of all. Surely he is heading towards Heavyweight belt glory again.
TAG TEAM OF THE MONTH:
THE CENTAURIANS - For just continuing to be a really solid team. When they won the tag belts nobody expected their reign to last. But here they are still holding the belts and at the same time being great role models.

CARD 973 – DEIMOS INTERGALACTIC ARENA:
Interplanetary champ, Painmaster, in good form to see off Wraith. Some people think Wraith should now set his sights higher than the IP belt but he seems drawn to it. As soon as Painmaster won it again it was inevitable Wraith would get pushed as the next challenger. Vertigo called this a very important moment. With the Colonizers holding both major GWF singles belts and Rebel Empire closing in on the tag titles it is imperative they get the IP belt off them “before they get too strong”. It’s a topsy turvy match. Every time one of them looks like they are getting a run of offence together they either make a mistake or someone from outside does something to change things. The ending was typical of how most of the match had run. A blunder from Wraith as he whips Painmaster into the ropes and drops his head way too early. Gets wasted with a piledriver as a result. Painmaster doesn’t hang about after this and gets him up in THE TORTURE RACK and it wins him the match. There was a rude shock afterwards for Painmaster as Blizzard stormed the ring. Probably not pre planned as Vertigo looked confused at his sudden appearance. He took Sentry out with an ice ball. Then grabbed a shocked Painmaster and planted him head first into each of the turnbuckles. Didn’t stop there as he then strangles Painmaster with his frosty hands and repeatedly smashes his head backwards into the mat. It takes Vertigo to bring the unscheduled attack to an end “enough Blizzard. Don’t come down to their level”. He reluctantly releases. Damage done to Painmaster was a 2 card injury. The Colonizers demand disciplinary action against Blizzard but it is not deemed serious enough for action. Amid all this had to feel sorry for Wraith. In one breath he is being mentioned as a future Heavyweight champ but now he fails to win the IP belt and is taking a huge rankings hit. Maybe one day Wraith will make that push for the Heavyweight belt and scratch that itch. But for now he has some damage to repair.
Thunder and Overkill defeated Rebel Empire by DQ. Massive top contender match. Uneasiness for Mandrill as the Colonizers and Gladiators are brought into direct conflict again. Unavoidable in the chase for titles though. Nefarus engages in some trash talking with Overkill to start things off. But Overkill is a man of few words. He shoves Nefarus in the face sending him crashing into Vendetta. But Vendetta is so big and strong that Nefarus just bounces off him. So then Thunder flies in from the side with a cross body and this time both members of Rebel Empire go down like dominos. It’s clear the Gladiators mean business. After this feisty start things settle down. Lots of tags and very even. Things get more interesting when the two power guys enter the ring and they wage quite a war. During their battle Sentry took a big risk by attacking Overkill when the action came near him. It gave Vendetta a big opportunity of offence which he attempted to take with THE BIG FALL. But Overkill powerfully kicked out. Vendetta looked irritated by this and threw Overkill back outside. However he made the mistake of going after him. The brave ref tried to keep the match flowing and makes an attempt to stop him. Suffice to say he was shoved aside which sent him sprawling. Worst thing you can do is manhandle an official. Especially under the watch of Commissioners Morpheus and Omega. Instant DQ. The Gladiators go to the title match. Perhaps not in the manner they prefer but it represents a big chance to rule the tag ranks again. Feels like it’s been a long time.
Just scratching my head over Rebel Empire. Anytime they get within sniffing distance of the tag belts they seem to blow it. On paper they are one of the best, if not the best, tag teams but they keep choking and so far have never held gold together.
Brainstorm beats Pegasus in one of the biggest ever upsets. Brainstorm heats this up by slapping Pegasus across the face for coming onto Maxine Babe. Pegasus tries to stay calm but a slap would wind up even the most mild mannered. He grabs Brainstorm by the throat and screams “that slut is the one coming onto me. But I’m not surprised as you’re nothing but a spoiled brat that doesn’t respect women”. After that he starts to kick Brainstorm’s butt. Looks like his might polish this off in just a few moves but Brainstorm hangs in there. The minutes tick by and the anxiety starts to set in as Brainstorm starts to make a fight of it. A critical moment then happens as Maxine Babe gets up on the apron and bares her breasts. Pegasus stops in his tracks and that allows Brainstorm to ambush him. Then comes THE BRAINSTORMER and although Star Warrior tried to protest to the ref his pleas are ignored. Pegasus falls to the move. He tried to put a foot on the rope but Maxine had sneakily knocked it off. The ref had taken a mental note of her position but then let himself get distracted by Darla and missed it. It’s not the only freaky result of the night. At the conclusion Maxine waits for Pegasus to recover and makes a move on him but gets pushed off and falls to the ground. She yells up at Pegasus “you dirty lying b*stard. You showered me with gifts and said you’d fallen head over heels in love with me. Promising that we’d be together once you beat him up”. She gets up and tries to plant her stiletto into his crotch but he catches her foot. Pegasus then scoops her up and looks like he might bodyslam her until a crucial moment of self-realisation stops him. Plants her firmly back on her feet and she then runs off sobbing. Pegasus now angrily leaves the scene of this massive upset. But what of Maxine? After that episode Brainstorm may not want her back.
Heracles coasts to a win over US. Patriot. Although Anaxis was staying very quiet for this one female intuition from Ms. Liberty still senses something foreboding. Yells up at Adam that he needs to get this done fast as something bad is about to happen. In his haste he missed a deathjump and then got smashed with OLYMPIA a couple times to give Heracles an easy win. Barely a minute after the final bell Colussus makes an appearance. But his target is Heracles. In truth Colussus could of attacked either one of them. Adam recovers and doesn’t stand idly by as this happens. He jumps into the melee and a three way brawl takes place. Security at GWF shows has been pretty good so far this year but they are slow to react here. Chairs are being used and objects busted over heads. All three of them taking visible damage before things are brought under control. Plenty of blood in that one. After a quick clean up operation the show goes on.
Talon and Dragonmaster beats Enigma and Lycosa in just 2 moves. Enigma and Lycosa have quite an intense rivalry as they try to outdo each other in singles competition. Darkos is clearly hedging his bets by putting them out as a team again. His front is to say their rivalry is good as it pushes them onto greater things but they can still work well as a team (even though they are no longer officially registered and have dropped the Assassin Air Raid name). But it doesn’t look good as Lycosa ignores a high five from Enigma. Maybe he didn’t see it but either way Enigma is left hanging and looking dumb. Maybe that was playing on his mind as he just didn’t see Dragonmaster coming. Finding himself pinned in just two moves with the good old Titan Drop doing the deed. Maybe they should just stick to singles.
Mutant pinned Scion Nexus. Scion almost a forgotten figure. Barely been on TV. Been wrestling mainly dark to build up singles pedigree. This is pretty dangerous. Wrestling Mutant is like playing Russian roulette as you never know if the Terrorists will show up. To Scion’s horror they emerge with Mutant. Pulling it by a crude rope tethered round its neck. But barely halfway down the runway Mutant chomps through it and is released. Runs at Scion moaning. You could almost see the cogs turning in Scion’s mind ‘do I stand my ground or get the hell out of here?’ Thankfully he chooses the latter. Meeting the onrushing Mutant with a spectacular flying head scissors. However his time ontop doesn’t last. The Terrorists make their mark when Scion tried to pin Mutant. One distracted the ref and the other one attacked him with a billy club. Mutant then hits an instinct driven running clothesline for good measure and is able to understand it’s a good moment to cover for the victory.

CARD 974 - DEIMOS INTERGALACTIC ARENA:
Thunder and Overkill steamrolled the Centaurians to once again win the belts and rule the tag ranks. Talisman is pessimistic about his team’s chances of coming through this still holding the belts telling his interviewer “we had a good run as champions”. Not exactly the fighting talk fans want to be hearing but the Centaurians have been punching well above their weight for a long time now. The pair of them looked twitchy from the start. With a big meeting with Lower World incoming at the Battle Dome they are on high alert to a possible attack to weaken them ahead of it. Although logically even the Brymstonians wouldn’t be so daring as to ruin a Gladiator title shot, or would they? But even if the Brymstonians had been planning anything there was no time to strike. It was over in the blink of an eye. Three moves to be exact. Talisman’s assertions their days as champions were numbered proving spot on. It went wrong the moment he tried a short clothesline on Overkill in the first move of the match. Just bounced off as if he’d hit a brick wall. Overkill scoops him into a powerful bear hug and extends an arm to tag Thunder. He is still impressively able to apply tremendous crushing pressure with one arm. Thunder enters the ring and Overkill releases Talisman. Blade can see they are about to go for DECAPITATOR. His pin save is futile. Thunder was ready for him and and blasts him with a flying shoulder block as he climbed through the ropes. The Gladiators are then able to perform their finisher undisturbed. Talisman is easily pinned and the titles switch hands. Barely hours after this happened there are noises coming out of the CPC. Commissioner Grogan invites them to come to Pelf Palace and add the CPC tag belts to their collection.
Enigma quickly beats Ursa Major to become the new Cruiserweight champion. Calmness in the Masked Assassins after some heat between Enigma and Lycosa dissipates. Lycosa agrees to step out the way so Enigma can pursue the GWF Cruiserweight belt if he gets a clear run at the CPC Cruiserweight belt. Success in these brackets will help Darkos get over the disappointment of Manslaughter recently dropping the IP belt. It would be about time too as Lycosa and Enigma are seen as the most talented cruiserweights but being accused of underachieving. Darkos is pretty busy. He is harassing Lord Nexus at every opportunity. The goading is so intense that some of the fans urge Lord Nexus to sort him out. Every man has a breaking point. Some comment from Darkos about his wife being a whore triggers Lord Nexus. He gives him a Titan Drop to shut him up. Shame things don’t go so well in the ring for Ursa Major. He immediately missed a turnbuckle charge as Enigma sprang up, using the ropes as leverage, with a spectacular leapfrog. He landed ontop of the turnbuckle. It was amazing balance and agility. Ursa Major tried to pull him down but is easily pushed back into the ring. A hard fall that leaves him groggy. Slowly Ursa Major rolls under the ropes and falls into to the floor. Hoping for words of wisdom from his manager. Nothing doing as Lord Nexus was busily sorting out Darkos at this point. It just gets worse as he clambers to his feet with the help of the ring apron only to feel the impact of FEET OF FURY in his face. Then gets gathered up so Enigma can pin him and take custody of the Cruiserweight belt. All done in just three moves.
Max Shield heaps misery on Paragon by beating him in a match where Massif was the referee. Thantos was making plenty of fuss, “Massif as the referee was not what was agreed”. Massif steps forward “maybe you didn’t read the small sprint”. Thantos points a finger up at him “don’t be smart with me, I beat you many times in the ring. We deserve a fair match here”. Massif looks pretty ticked off that his good name is being questioned “what are you insinuating?” The pair of them look about ready to roll back the times and go at it but cool heads prevails and they are parted. Max Shield kept his distance whilst this was all going on. Patiently waiting for his chance. A lot going through his mind. One of the most popular guys around but often overshadowed by his other team mates and always labelled as the great underachiever. Perhaps a big win over Paragon could change all that and set him on a path to glory. Becomes a long, long match but notable for several things. First that despite the match length Paragon didn’t manage a single pin attempt. Perhaps down to Max using his shield mutation ability perfectly, it rarely failed him. Secondly, there was a dramatic incident where Massif gave Paragon the VOLCANIC DROP. Massif was very fussy about any deathjump attempts or leaving the ring. Paragon got frustrated and gave him a shove for which he paid dearly. Finally the fact Max won. It took him a while and we saw MAXIMUM IMPACT more than once but the move finally finished Paragon off. It was a fitting outcome because Max was the better wrestler throughout but his trouble to finish off had everyone fearing Paragon would end up prevailing. Luckily that was not the case. As the realisation dawns Thantos says “FFS” under his breath. Maybe he is feeling the heat after some poor results and currently having only 1 minor title within his team.
Pulsar vanquished Defender of the Realm. Some classic heel style bragging from Defender ahead of this face versus face match. I suppose it’s more natural from Defender as he has a habit of switching sides. Not sure if he’s joking when saying of his spear “I’m going to stick this where the sun don’t shine”. Unfortunately comments like that get taken seriously because he’s not the most trusted guy around with his Jester persona still causing unease. The distrust is a source of frustration for his mate Jack who wants everyone to give Defender a break. Doesn’t help that Pulsar still sees him as a scummy heel and says ACID RAIN will be in play. The fans enjoy the horse play and don’t discriminate. Cheering in equal measure for each guy initially. A decent contest ensues. Both are very similar physical attributes which makes it hard to call. Defender is able to strike first as he launches DEFENDER CANNON a couple of times but it doesn’t yield victory. After this Pulsar is under the cosh and has to rely on his penchant for hardcore to pull him back. Some out of ring action gives him a springboard to comeback. Then a handspring elbow had Defender wobbling. True to his word Pulsar then throws ACID RAIN. Scattered booing for doing so but Pulsar didn’t care. In his mind he was doing it to Jester and not Defender. The burning pain overwhelms Defender and Pulsar casually rolls him up to take the win.
Wolf and Amazonia beat Heracles and Anaxis by DQ in mixed tag. Heracles unhappy to be lumbered with this rematch. Wolf probably not super enthused either but there is a score to settle. The good news though is that Amazonia seems to be fully healed. Scars barely visible, maybe some clever makeup in play although she’s not really the type to dabble in all that. A natural beauty embedded within her aggressive warrior like persona. Given that the women were the main reason for this feud they were expected to take centre stage but disappointingly they never got inside the ring. Heracles started off against Wolf. Barely a minute gone that Wolf flew over the ropes after a failed crossbody. Heracles followed him out and in a move that smacked of ‘I can’t be bothered with this’ picked up a chair to lay Wolf out. He then beckons Anaxis and leaves. Amazonia tends to Wolf rather than follow for revenge. Wonder if the GWF will try and pull the plug on this feud. The mixed matches are hardly setting things alight.
Dreadnaught defeated the Creeper. Sad to see Dreadnaught in this curtain jerking role. Nonetheless he is getting on with it and hoping a team will eventually take him on. In his weakened state he’s still too good for the Creeper. Once again GUIDED MISSILE lacks the punch to get a pin but a Terror Face Claw proved enough to stop the Creeper. Notable that Dreadnaught got a lot of sympathetic cheering from the crowd despite his shady past.

CARD 975 – PELF PALACE:
Once again the man on the street is being frozen out by the CPC. The clash between Penthouse Suite and Gladiators is seen as massive. Ticket prices hiked and priority given to celebs and wealthy friends of the owners. There are some tickets exchanging hands on the black market but these are also going for exorbitant sums. Unfortunately one of the goals of Mr. Colby and Ms. Pelf is to make the fed a playground for only the rich and famous.
Mayhem made sure Wolf has a short lived reign by beating him to become CPC Heavyweight champion. Huge surprise that Mayhem is elevated to the title match by the CPC. It had been expected that the big man, Paragon, would attempt to resume his position as the top guy. But a main event between these two bitter enemies over the belt had the powers that be salivating. Plus they saw the $$$ signs. Paragon is appeased by being told he was desperately needed to help the team in their Battlezone match with the Gladiators (although that didn’t go well). Also given promises that he is the guaranteed next in line contender. The policy of CPC guys only having to defend every other month would be broken if Mayhem becomes the champ to accommodate this. He should count himself lucky given his wretched form. Up in the gallery Sonora Pelf almost spits her champagne out as Wolf emerges swinging their precious CPC belt wildly about. Too much for her to take when added to the earlier events. It is not being given the respect it deserves and there are genuine fears it’ll be used as weapon if Mayhem comes out chain in hand. The belt won’t stand up too well to a chain. There is almost a sigh of relief when Wolf throws it down on the ground before entering the ring. A grateful staff member scoops it up and places atop a cushion on the announcer’s table. Wolf, by this time, is stood on the bottom rope screaming towards the end of the carpeted runway “show yourself Mayhem. Let’s paint the town red with our blood”. Mayhem obliges and comes charging through the curtain towards the ring. The chain is out. Wolf rushes to meet him and the pair of the grapple over the chain in the runway. At one point it is wrapped like a noose around Wolf’s neck but he forces a break by wrapping part of it around his fist and punching Mayhem off him. The two hardcore icons then grow tired of this toy and the chain is discarded. Time to take their battle into the ring. Once in there it’s a lot less exciting though. No more blood is spilt and they are cancelling each other out. They didn’t even deviate from the ring. After several minutes of nothing Mayhem pins Wolf out of nowhere. One of those surprise snake eyes rolls. He’d performed a Cobra Clutch Suplex and it must of been an awkward landing for Wolf as he doesn’t respond. The belt changes hands again. Honestly never saw Mayhem ever wearing this thing. The VIP gallery probably feeling the same. They applaud the new champion but will be secretly hoping Paragon will step up next month and resume normality. Wolf unusually quiet in the aftermath. His pursuit of the CPC belt had been relentless but as soon as the goal was achieved it seems interest in it was lost. Highly doubtful he will come after it again anytime soon. Although more meetings with Mayhem a certainty and when they happen hopefully they’ll be a lot more exciting than this.
CPC Cruiserweight champ, Brainstorm, takes a loss to Lycosa by DQ to protect the belt. The CPC is determined that Brainstorm loses belt as soon as possible. They see him as little more than a curtain jerker and cannot believe he is tainting their title. When Prodigy abdicated it had never crossed their mind that he might win it and worse still successfully defend it. The fact he only recently beat Pegasus has made very little impression on them. His opponent, Lycosa, is under pressure to emulate Enigma. His team mate has successfully grabbed the GWF version. Darkos demands of Lycosa that he win here to give the Masked Assassins total domination of this weight bracket. But Brainstorm is high on confidence and not going to give this thing up easily. Maxine Babe has been a real focal point in the storylines of late and is creating more mischief. Parading herself in front of Lycosa distractingly. Meanwhile Darla starts a cheerleading skit. Waving those pom-poms. She playfully taps Lycosa with one and he goes down like a ton of bricks. What was in that thing? The confused ref now starts the match with Lycosa at an immediate disadvantage. Struggling to shake off the effects of that strike. Lycosa comes under some early pressure and several minutes in he has to lean heavily on Darkos. A distraction saves his bacon after THE BRAINSTORMER. This flirtation with defeat proved to be a wake up call. Lycosa comes back and turns on the style. Now it’s the turn of Brainstorm to receive assistance. Maxine Babe diverting the ref’s attention after BLACK WIDOW’S BITE is used against Brainstorm. Despite that it now looks like there can be only one winner. But Lycosa doesn’t count on those mysteriously lethal pom-poms. He got caught in no man’s land outside the ring. Darla runs at him giggling before striking at him again. It’s a knockout blow. Darkos protests foul play and the ref investigates. Inside the one of them taped to Darla’s knuckles are electrified brass knuckles capable of administering high voltage shocks. The plan now rumbled leads to a DQ against Brainstorm. Justice prevails but it won’t do Lycosa much good as he won’t win the belt. Ordinarily he should get a rematch but this is the CPC and nothing is guaranteed. The fact Prodigy is rumoured to be sniffing around his belt again won’t help much either.
Gladiators of Aethra win big against Penthouse Suite in an 8 Man Battlezone. Commissioner Grogan wants this hugely anticipated match up to go off as safely and cleanly as possible. Therefore any non-managers are to be considered as interlopers and banned from ringside. Thantos gets to stay but Thrash is not considered a manager. Instead her status is more akin to slave/bodyguard and her presence is blocked. Although the CPC sometimes does not enforce suspensions levied by the GWF at Pelf Palace they are also using Thrash’s suspension in that organisation as a tool to have her barred. She instead tries to melt into the crowd but remain close enough to maybe find a gap in the barriers and storm the ring. But she sticks out like a sore thumb and is ordered to leave Pelf Palace otherwise the match will be forfeited. It is bold from the CPC to risk such aggravation with the Gladiators but they are determined not to be bullied by them. Unfortunately such measures proved futile as the Gladiators win quite easily. They had 3 wrestlers spare by the end. A very successful card and overall month for them. It was very noticeable that Thantos looked under stress. He wasn’t clean shaven for the match and at no point did he appear relaxed … Malice opened with a stunning win over Colussus. Done in just two moves. Colussus got caught with a surprising technical move as a rope whip ended disastrously. He dropped his head early, Malice put the brakes on and stunned him with a roll up. Colussus had made a strong start to life as a CPC member but it’s fading slightly now. At least he can brag he’s the only Penthouse Suite actually holding any good at the moment … Malice beats Janus. Penthouse Suite now given a real mountain to climb after that elimination. Janus wrestled better than he has in a long time but still cannot stop the juggernaut that is Malice. He gets smashed with FIELDS OF MALICE (+4). Thantos also took a pretty big bump for trying to interfere after it … Matador of M83 overcame Malice. By this time Malice was looking pretty spent. During the battle Thantos dared to attack Malice with Satanic Skull Smasher. Got away with it. Malice is then put back in the ring where BULLWHIP finishes him off … Thunder impressively defeats Matador of M83. Great contest. Thunder’s high tempo style eventually overwhelms Matador. He used THE TEMPEST to get the pin. Disapproving looks from the VIP gallery towards Thantos. Should he of done more to try and stop that happening? Penthouse Suite on the brink of defeat now. Maybe it’s time for Paragon to deliver on all his big talk and rescue this … Thunder beats Paragon by DQ. Carnage. Perhaps realising the outcome was inevitable Thantos attacks Thunder outside the ring and applies MASTERLOCK. Even at Pelf Palace such a blatant act cannot be ignored or there would be a media outrage. Paragon joins the attack and is stomping Thunder whilst he is trapped. The other Gladiators rush the ring on seeing this happen which in turn brings out the other Penthouse Suite guys. Total chaos as all of them brawl to the back including Thunder who is now on his feet albeit limping. Sonora Pelf almost feints on sight of this as she fears for the damage such a brawl would do to the Palace interiors and furnishings. Magnus Colby thinks swiftly and despatched a team of security armed with tasers to sort it out. Commissioner Grogan also warned fines all round in the aftermath. Fair to say the war which had been simmering between CPC and the Gladiators has well and truly begun after that.
Spike rolls back the years to beat Terminus in a cage match. Spike excuses him from the Battlezone match against Penthouse Suite. The chance to take on Terminus in a cage too good to miss. With possible future cage meetings with old adversaries Wolf and Mayhem to come it’s great practise. Terminus is already inside as Spike enters the cage. As the door is shut behind him Spike smiles and shouts “I’m home”. If that was an attempt at intimidation it doesn’t work as Terminus strides straight over in attempt to plant him into the cage sides. Guess we’d all forgotten Terminus had endured a gruelling 10 special matches challenge against Wolf last year. So there was no way he wouldn’t have the stomach for this. As he grabs hold of Spike he taunts “you shouldn’t of come back, you passed your expiry date long ago”. But as he goes to bury Spike’s face an arm comes up to block and Terminus got planted instead. It signifies a strong start by Spike and he inflicts 3 fatigue tokens of damage without reply in the opening minutes. Terminus threatens a comeback though and HAMMERLOCK SLAM gives him an escape chance. He barely got a foot out the door though when Spike forcefully pulls him back. Terminus should of turned and dealt more punishment but his persistence to get out just lets Spike recover his stamina and launch a second big offensive wave. It came as no surprise this culminated in the legendary MEGADESTROYER. It’s still almost as devastating as it was when Spike was in his prime. Terminus has no chance after that and Spike strolls casually out the cage door dusting his hands off in a ‘that was easy’ manner.
Prodigy over Halcon Oro by forfeit. Disastrous. Halcon Oro has drawn superlatives for the most part. But after a failed title bid has lost momentum. Looks like he was keen to get that back with a big match against one of the top guys in CPC, Prodigy. However a death defying move ends in leg break horror. He missed the mark after mounting the turnbuckle in an attempt to fly at Prodigy who was arriving outside the ring but still quite a distance away. Was trying to surprise him by getting the first move of the match in before the bell. Many of his moves leave little margin for error. Halcon Oro had a leg extended and it impacts violently against the crowd barrier. Legs just don’t bend that way and a sickening snap is heard. Maybe he was trying too hard to make his mark in the CPC which is why he took such a risk. The match is ended before it even had a chance to start and medics swarm around him. Halcon Oro is screaming. The grisly sight of his leg kept covered by a sheet. It takes several minutes before everything is set and Halcon Oro can be stretched away. He was being given gas to help deal with the pain. Prodigy is given the win by forfeit.
CPC Lottery against X-Termination ends in a wild double DQ. The feud between Splatter and Skinhead resonates into this match. Skinhead, having already wrestled, brokers a deal to be at ringside instead of Johnny Rocket. It disturbs Splatter greatly for he becomes fixated on Skinhead at times. But when he does get his attention on the match he is brutal. Struck with MEET ARSENAL twice and also THE SHREDDER on Sleeze. Gets away with the illegal hits. No surprise there but Skinhead played a part in keeping Sleeze in it and he also remarkably kicked out after one of the strikes with the club. Big turning point comes when Vyper finally gets some ring action. He tried a pin himself on Sleeze but Grunge caused a distraction. It gave Sleeze a chance to recover and use METALHEAD MAULER. A very sudden turnaround. Vyper survives that move only to be subjected to it again shortly after. At this point bedlam. Splatter storms the ring which draws both Skinhead and Grunge in too. Massive brawl and no chance for the ref to call for anything but the bell.
Awesome Studs overcame the Stormtroopers. Interesting match as Dynamo faces his former partner Powerhouse. Both hellbent of proving who is stronger. There is also some interesting stuff going on between the two managers. Cassandra was getting Reynard B. Guile all hot under the collar by offering up her dominatrix services after the show for a reduced price. Perhaps she needed to keep better attention on what was going on inside the ring. Her troopers were in control at first. Appearing far better drilled. But as she let her attention wander Powerhouse drops the baton. A Dynamo Rib Crusher impressively applied to his huge frame. Hammer moved to try and break the hold. Climbing to the top turnbuckle and lining up a drop kick from there intending to get Dynamo from behind. He hits the mark but Dynamo stays holding on and the impact sends both crashing towards the opposite turnbuckle. It’s a double impact on Powerhouse. A horrified Hammer is now ushered back to his corner and the ref slides in to make the three count in favour of the Studs. I think Hammer needs some time on the naughty boy step for blowing this one. Am sure Cassandra has got one of these.
Skinhead beats Monad by DQ. Memories of Monad’s humiliating loss to Gila still raw. Even though Skinhead is a far superior wrestler another pin fall defeat for Monad might kill his chances of getting much more action at Pelf Palace this year. CPC doesn’t take kindly to having losers on their roster especially given what it pays them. Add to that the fact Monad should he performing far better than at anytime in the past due to the rules on pinning him being made harder at the venue. Luckily Monad negotiates a shaky start and is far more intimidating and able to dominate Skinhead. But he still stumbled to a DQ loss because the referee was a known stickler. Zero tolerance to virtually all out of ring antics of which Monad was guilty of having followed a scrambling Skinhead outside, tossing Johnny Rocket aside in the process, and using his four arms to grab two chairs at once. The improved performance set to allow some breathing room for Monad but still remains under pressure to start picking up some wins. In fact there is pressure on the whole Transevolver team because Desolation Factor hasn’t exactly hit the ground running either.
