-GWF WOMEN’S CHAMPIONSHIPShe Devil (CHAMPION) vs. Sultana (1)
“I am so lucky to have She Devil as a manager. She gives great hugs!”“If she is such a great manager, then why doesn’t she come to ringside with you?”“Because the Animen do not need a babysitter. Now pass me a eucalyptus leaf and let’s enjoy this match.” She Devil pinned Sultana after a spinning leg lariat.
-Omen is in a dark room talking to Kill Prey. The only light in the room comes from Omen’s torch.
“You know what must be done!”
“I do. But…is it necessary?”
“It is necessary if our queen is to be reborn.”
“Whatever you say.”
THE GAUNTLET begins!“I am so excited about The Gauntlet. There was nothing like this when I was an active wrestler.”“ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ”Tanck vs. Sly Drury vs. Kill Prey vs. Payback vs. Tricks vs. Muss vs. Valour vs. Swarm vs. Endgame vs. Monolith vs. GWF GALAXIAN CHAMPION Nosfera.
-Tanck (5) w. Vin Strutter vs.
Sly DrurySly Drury pinned Tanck with a back stabber.
-Sly Drury (2) vs.
Kill Prey (4b)Sly Drury was brutal in this match, bloodying Kill Prey. But Kill Prey pinned Sly Drury with a Venatic Knee Breaker.
“What a great come from behind win by Kill Prey. But he took a lot of punishment in that match. I don’t know what he could possibly have left for the remainder of The Gauntlet. Claw, how would you proceed if you were in Kill Prey’s situation?”“ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ”-
Payback vs. Kill Prey (5b)
The bloodied Kill Prey had no chance to recover from the beating he took from Sly Drury. He was clearly exhausted and weakened from the blood loss. Payback hit a +6 Exvenge for an easy win.
“Well, I was right about Kill Prey. He just took too great of a beating at the hands of Sly Drury to be effective in the next match. That is what makes this Gauntlet such a big challenge. As an active wrestler, how would you approach this gauntlet?”“ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ”“Would somebody please get my announce partner some coffee? And hurry!”-Tricks vs. Payback (3)
Tricks comes to the ring wearing Rotunda’s garter around his arm. The fans cheer Tricks as he enters the ring.
“It is strange to here the fans cheering for Tricks. I sure hope that he truly has changed his ways.”Cuddley Claw is slowly waking up.
“Yum! This is good coffee!”Tricks was hopping around the ring, staying away from Payback. Payback became frustrated with the clown’s evasiveness. When he finally got a hold of Tricks, Payback threw him outside of the ring. Payback then threw Tricks into the ringside guardrail, getting disqualified.
“Payback has all the talent in the universe, but that temper of his keeps him from reaching his potential.”“Maybe he needs a good cup of coffee!”-
Tricks (1) vs. Muss (9)
“In my opinion, Muss is being selfish competing in this Gauntlet. He has a Galaxian Tag Team Championship match tonight. He will be in no shape to wrestle for the tag titles after the competing in this grueling event.”“Don’t discount the recuperative power of a good cup of coffee.”“You really have a one track mind, don’t you?”Tricks kept up the momentum from the previous match. He hit Muss with a flurry of offense, but the Troubleshooter refused to be pinned. The clown threw Muss out of the ring. Tricks then jumped over the top rope yelling
“ROTUNDA!”
and hit Muss with a flying dive that brought the fans to their feet cheering.
Tricks threw Muss back into the ring and won with Sleepy Time.
-Valour vs. Tricks (1)
Valour comes to the ring carrying the Money in the Bank briefcase.
When the referee’s back was turned, Valour nailed Tricks with the MITB case and got the pin.
“How did the ref not see Valour use that case?”“He would have seen it if he had a cup of coffee.”-Valour (5) vs. Swarm (6)
This was the best match of the Gauntlet so far. Both wrestlers had multiple pin attempts. Valour won the match with the Valour Thrust.
“This is what The Gauntlet is all about. Valour and Swarm would probably not wrestle each other under normal circumstances. But thanks to the Gauntlet, we got to see an amazing match. Let’s see if Valour has anything left for the next match.”“ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ”“Not again!”-Valour (6) vs.
Endgame w. Nightmare Nikki“I don’t understand what a man like Endgame is doing with a creature like Nightmare Nikki!”“ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ”Valour was clearly in pain after his match with Swarm. Endgame came out and quickly hit the shining wizard and then the Ultima Leap to win the match.
-Monolith (3) w. The Dark Menace vs.
Endgame (2) w. Nightmare Nikki“This is the match up that everyone has been waiting for.”
“ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ”“Well, almost everyone.”Monolith tried a spine buster but Endgame escaped the hold and applied the Rolling Figure Four. The Dark Menace distracted the referee. Wolf ran to the ringside area, grabbed The Dark Menace, and smashed him into the steel post. Endgame continued to apply the Rolling Figure Four, making Monolith tap out.
When Endgame released the Rolling Figure Four, Monolith immediately ran after Wolf.
Wolf and Monolith fight on the stage. Havoc, Thraxx, and Zygon run out and help Monolith beat down Wolf.
Endgame begins to leave the ring. Nikki puts her hand on his shoulder.
“NO! This is not our concern.”
“Why isn’t Endgame helping Wolf? This has to be Nikki’s influence.” Security runs out to break up the brawl. Wolf is lying on the stage bleeding from the forehead. The security personal try to help Wolf up. Wolf pushes them away. He stands up, stares at Endgame in the ring, and then walks backstage.
“This is an example of why some critics are saying that the GWF is out of control. This kind of thing is not what my father had in mind when he founded the GWF. I can assure you that a beat down like that would never happen in the GWFZ.“ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ”-GWF GALAXIAN TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIPJungle Warriors: Panther Warrior (1) & Malkuth (CHAMPIONS) w. She Devil vs.
The Troubleshooters: Muss (8) & The Bomb (1)“Wake up, little buddy! Your partners are up.”Star Warrior shakes Cuddley Claw.
“Uhhhh Wha…..Great Match! That was great! Where’s the coffee?”The Troubleshooters used quick tags to keep Panther Warrior from tagging out and to make sure that Muss was not in the ring for any length of time. Panther Warrior whipped Muss into the turnbuckle and tried a corner move. Muss nailed Panther Warrior with an elbow and followed that up with a high angle sweeping kick to get the pin.
“WOW! I was wrong. The Troubleshooters were ready for this match. And the Gauntlet did not take too much out of Muss. This is an impressive win. No wonder many journalists are calling The Troubleshooters one of the best tag teams in the history of the GWF.”
“Hibernation Domination could beat them!”“Only if you stay awake for the match!”
“HEY!” -GWF GALAXIAN CHAMPIONSHIPNosfera (2) (CHAMPION) w. Omen vs. Endgame (2) w. Nightmare Nikki
About a third of the fans cheer for Nosfera as he comes to the ring.
“What has become of my father’s dream when a demon like Nosfera has fans? At least in the GWFZ, you know who the good guys are and who the bad guys are.”“Well, the fans are cheering for him because he is fighting for the honor of Shann Ra. I never had the chance to be hugged by her before Monolith crippled her.” Endgame applied the Rolling Figure Four.
Omen tried to interfere but Endgame saw him, released the hold, and chased after Omen. When Endgame caught Omen, he knocked Omen’s torch out of his hand. Nosfera snuck up behind Endgame and nailed him with a clothesline to the back of the head. Nosfera threw Endgame back in the ring and hit him with the Demon’s Breath. Nightmare Nikki entered the ring to break up the pin attempt. Nosfera chased Nightmare Nikki out of the ring. He chased her down the aisle when….
A net falls from the ceiling onto Nikki. Kill Prey comes out and pulls the captured vampire to the backstage area.
In the ring, Endgame rubbed his eyes trying to get the mysterious blue substance out of them. As he regained his eyesight, he saw Kill Prey pulling the net containing Nikki. He was about to run after him when Nosfera leapt back into the ring, hit Endgame with a Spring Heel kick, and got the pin.
Nosfera grabs the GWF Galaxian Championship belt and jumps up into the ceiling.
Endgame runs to the backstage area yelling “NIKKI!”
“This will not be the last time that Nosfera has to deal with Endgame. While I don’t like their partnership, Endgame will not let the Fellowship treat her like that. What a show! Good night!”“ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ”
