2119.01.01 Niagara Tower of Lights, New York, USA Earth – GWF War Zone

Match 1: Havoc w/Thrash v. Reckless
A capacity crowd is on hand to witness the first card of the GWF’s New Beginning. Reckless is out to a huge ovation especially from the youngsters at ringside. Havoc is out to a mixed reaction and plays up to the fans are ringside. Thrash is not impressed and tells Havoc to focus on his opponent. Baruum Forus is the referee in the ring. Thrash’s warning must have sunk in because the Gladiator of Aethra dominates the action. The fans at ringside eat it up when Havoc sails off the top of the buckles with a dive onto Reckless at ringside leading to a near count out. Havoc taunts the crowd as the referee makes his count but Reckless regains the ring. Havoc will not be denied tonight and his punishes Reckless. At one point Havoc hits a Gothic Tomb followed by FALLEN DREAMS but only scores a two count. Later, Reckless kicks out another FALLEN DREAMS but Havoc follows up with a third for the win. Hot opener gets the fans into the action. ***

Match 2: Valour v. Encubus w/Thantos
Thantos is out to classic heat as he leads his son to the ring. Valour storms ringside and is ready for a fight dominating the opening minutes. Valour grabs a chair from ringside and decks Encubus and then makes the cover but Thantos is arguing with Phillip Haas about the chair shot and the action continues. Valour unleashes WARRIOR’S RAGE but Encubus kicks out of the cover. Encubus makes his comeback at ringside and slows down Valour with a MAFFIE MASTERLOCK but Valour powers out. Encubus tosses Valour to the floor and that Thantos attacks Valour with a MASTERLOCK and the referee calls for the bell. Thantos costs his son the match. * ½

Match 3: Thrash w/Havoc v. Lorelei
Thrash returns to ringside drawing great heat. Lorelei is well respected by the fans. Baruum Forus calls for the bell and we are underway. Lorelei knows she has to use her speed to avoid Thrash’s power moves and that is exactly what she does. Lorelei surprizes a few fans by not backing down when the action goes to the floor and actually dominating her Gladiator opponent. Lorelei’s courage pays off after both competitors exchange near falls when a Centraurus Leg Lock sets up MATERNAL RAGE and gets her the win. *

GWF War Zone

We get a panoramic view of the stadium and the place is jammed.

We are live on the Holonet as GWF War Zone returns. Commissioner Massif comes to the ring to address the fans and tells us that recent events around the Galaxy have caused him to have to make some very tough decisions but he pleased to announce that the GWF is alive and well. Massif tells us that going forward some of the competitors may have changed but what has not changed is the fact that this is the home of the best wrestling action in the Galaxy. Massif tells us that the GWF Title and GWF Tag Team Titles have been declared vacant. Massif continues explaining that new Tag Team Champions will be crowned at a tournament scheduled for Galactimania on card 2119.01.05. As for the GWF Title, a round robin tournament will start tonight. 12 competitors have been divided into two groups. Each competitor will face the other in their own group one time with points being awarded for wins. At the end of the round robin competition, the competitors with the highest point totals in each group will face in a singles match at The Great Galaxian Bash, Card 2119.01.15 to determine the new GWF Champion.

Match 4: Fighting Titans v. Society of Death w/Thantos
Solid heat for Thantos has he leads his team to the ring. The ovation for the Titans is off the charts and Tristan gives a mask to a young fan at ringside. Thantos has words for Phillip Haas before the bell even sounds. Tristan steps in against the powerhouse Tanck to start the match and actually takes the battle to his much larger opponent. The action settles down and both teams make tags. The Betrayer cuts off Payback off from his corner and hits two ALL FALL DOWNS and a BLACK FUNERAL but cannot put Payback away. Tanck tags in and Tristan is able to make the hot tag but the power of Tanck proves too much this time. A Show of Power nearly ends it but the IRON MAN VISE does as Betrayer prevents Payback from making the save. **

We are backstage with a group of legends enjoying the evening. The fans pop when the vid came pans past Wolf. Star Warrior is among them and he cuts a promo hyping the GWFZ telling the fans to watch for events featuring future GWF stars shortly.

We go to the announcers pod and they hype Galactimania telling us that the following eight teams will battle for the Tag Team Championship. The teams are Havoc & Paralyze, The Trouble Shooters, Stars & Stripes, High Stakes, Center Stage, Genesis, Ani-Men Invasion and The Society of Death.

Match 5: Galaxian Title Round Robin Title Tournament Match- Block B - Epoch w/Slave Beast v. Tauran
The announce team explains that Epoch and Tauran are part of Block B in the tournament along with Encubus, Payback, Bloodline & Paralyze. Slave Beast comes out and introduces Epoch drawing off the hook heat. Torin Caelum is our official and we are underway. The opening battle between Genesis and the Colonizers is intense from the outset. Despite Caelum’s reputation as a strict official he lets things go and Tauran busts Epoch wide open during the wild action on the floor. Only the interference of Slave Beast saves Epoch from a TAURAN SHARPSHOOTER and changes the momentum of the bout. Epoch has lost too much blood and cannot keep the advantage. The action goes back outside and Tauran sends Epoch into the ring post and this time Caelum has seen enough and makes the disqualification call. ***

As we are shown a panoramic view of the stadium the announcers tell us about one sale dates for GWF events at Ceres Amphitheatre, Titan Sportatorium and Venus Space Station Complex.

We go to the announce pod and they hype our main event as Bloodline takes on the Gladiator powerhouse Paralyze in Block B action of the Galaxian Title Tournament.

Match 6: Center Stage w/Vin Strutter v. Ani-Men Invasion w/She Devil
Vin Strutter comes to the ring and that can only mean one thing, it is time for the Greatest Show in the Galaxy. The Amazing Mann comes to the ring and shows off his skills escaping a strait jacket before Steele Freak is wheeled to ringside in a cage. All the time, the fans show their disgust. Phillip Haas is the referee assigned to the match so this one could be a wild contest. All four men see action before Haas gets taken out with a deathjump smash by Antak. With the referee down Antak has Freak beat with FORMICID and moments later it is Antak is downed by Mann’s cobra clutch but Haas is still not recovered. Haas regains his senses (10 moves) and that match is allowed to continue. Minotaur and Freak tear into each other which really hypes ringside. Minotaur is counted out after Freak runs Minotaur into his portable cage. The action does not stop at the bell as Freak rams Minotaur into the cage several more times and then uses FRENZIED HEAD SLAMS at ringside while Mann traps Antak in CONTORTION in the middle of the ring. Swarm hits ringside with steel chair in hand to break up the attack. Minotaur is a bloody mess and needs medical attention along with assistance leaving ringside. ***

We are backstage and Payback confronts Bloodline. Payback wishes Bloodline good luck tonight but warms him to save something because Payback is going to take him to the extreme when they meet at Galactimania.

Match 7: Galaxian Title Round Robin Title Tournament Match- Block A - Swarm w/She Devil v. Sly Drury w/Thantos
The Evil Gamesmaster draws heat as he returns to ringside. Swarm and She Devil looked pre-occupied after the injury to Minotaur in the last bout. The announcers tell us that the other block A competitors are Endgame, Disaster, Switchblade and Kill Prey. Torin Caelum calls for the bell. Devil quickly gets Swarm focused on the task at hand and the leader of the Ani-Men of Andromeda looks impressive. At one point Swarm dives out onto Drury at ringside in a great looking spot. After picking up several near falls, Swarm has the match won with a HORNET’S STING but Thantos enters the ring and distracts Swarm leading to near fall by a Drury roll up. Swarm will not be denied tonight and regains control without much resistance and picks up the win with another HORNET’S STING. ** ½

As we are shown a panoramic view of the stadium we get an advertisement for Galactimania at Demios Intergalactic Arena which will feature the tournament to determine the new Galaxian Tag Team Champions and Bloodline v. Payback in block B Title Tournament Action.

We go back to footage from earlier tonight with Stars & Stripes arriving at the Niagara Towers of Lights causing a frenzy at the entrance way.

Match 8: Stars & Stripes w/Latasha v. The Trouble Shooters w/Phantasy
The ovation for Stars & Stripes blows the roof of the arena. Phillip Haas draws the officiating assignment so he appears to have recovered from the bump he took earlier tonight. Phantasy works the crowd for heat as we get underway. U. S. Male steps in against Muss and scores with a dropkick. Male salutes and Stars and Stripes immediately go for DAWN’S EARLY BLIGHT and hit it for the win. The fans explode as Haas finishes the three count. The action is not done however as American Guy wants some more of the Troubleshooters. AMERICAN FIREPOWER takes out The Bomb and it is a second DAWN’S EARLY BLIGHT for Muss. Phantasy drags Muss to the floor before any more damage can be done. Muss needs to be assisted to the back. Dud
Backstage, the vid-cam is forced to pan for Paralyze who cuts a promo telling the fans that his destruction of Bloodline tonight will serve as a warning to anyone who stands in the way of the Gladiators.

Match 9: Galaxian Title Round Robin Title Tournament Match- Block A – Bloodline v. Paralyze/Thrash
Bloodline is out to cheers from ringside and he appears shocked by the fans show of support. Massif wants to make sure that this one does not get out of control and has assigned Torin Caelum to referee the match. The action starts off slow with neither man getting the advantage. The match spills to the floor and Disaster runs Bloodline into the rails at ringside and Caelum calls for the quick disqualification. The Gladiator snaps and immediately goes after the Caelum taking him out with Brutal Infliction. The fans fill the ring with trash. Medical officials arrive quickly to check on Caelum and Massif arrives as well. The Commissioner is not pleased and suspends Paralyze for 4 cards. That means Havoc has no partner for the Galaxian Tag Team Title Tournament at Galactimania. *

GWF War Zone goes off the air.

Match 10: Disaster v. Endgame
In our final dark match of the night, the fans give Endgame an huge ovation. Phillip Haas is our referee and we are underway. The action in this one is off the hook. Disaster’s power attack sets the pace early on. Somehow, Endgame is able to hang on even after back to back RAMPAGES. The crowd cannot believe that Endgame is still in the match and Endgame begins his comeback with back to back ULTIMA LEAPS that does not get the job done. The match goes back and forth. Disaster scores with a deathjump clothesline and Endgame counters with a deathjump crossbody block for a near fall. Disaster catches Endgame mounting the top of the corner and tosses him to the mat. That turns the match for the final time and the Gladiator gets the win with a RAMPAGE. *** 1/2

[Alexander Ubel]

I really like how you are presenting your result. The way the wrestlers play to the crowd is a nice touch. There were some solid matches on the first card. I'll try to check back regularly to see how things develop.

[Crimson Cross]

A very entertaining start Booker and it's good to see your rolling out a CotG Fed, when might we see your next results? I've decided to start up my own CotG fed called MMA - Metal Music Action. I agree with Dharneth that your presentation of the wrestlers playing to the crowd adds a great vibe to your fed. I'm pulling for Epoch to win the Galaxian Gold, but he'll have a tough time, Solid Stuff Booker...

[bookerbill]

Thank you gentlemen for the feedback.

@cc I hope to complete one card every couple of weeks.

2119.02.02 Callistrio Complex, Jupiter – GWF War Zone

Match 1: Stars & Stripes w/Latasha v. Society of Death w/Thantos
The fans are all over Thantos and his team as the come to ringside. Latasha, American Guy and U.S. Male are out to a solid pop. Phillip Haas calls for the bell and we are underway. American Guy starts the bout against The Betrayer and struggles with Betrayer’s speed. Guy survives TOTAL BETRAYAL and BLACK FUNERAL and the action goes to the floor. Guy and Betrayer tear up ringside and the fans eat it up. Haas calls for the disqualification when Thantos joins the brawl. It is bedlam after the bell and the Trouble Shooters arrive to join the chaos. American Guy gets tripled teamed on the floor. The Bomb puts Guy through a table with a Troubleshooter’s press slam while Male takes a beating between the ropes. The Fighting Titans storm ringside and breaks up the attack. Guy is removed on a stretcher. *

Match 2: Latasha v. Phantasy
Phillip Haas is the official for the contest and appears to enjoy being in the ring with the two ladies until Phantasy gives him an ear full drawing great heat. Latasha looks good early on and controls the pace of the action. At one point Latasha strings together back to back hip toss powerbombs followed by a Latasha Lance that has the fans rocking. Later, a savatte kicks sends Phantasy over the ropes Phantasy makes her comeback by countering a standing dropkick with a sharpshooter in an impressive looking exchange. Things break down at ringside with both ladies brawling. Haas comes outside and eats a kick by Phantasy and makes the disqualification call. * ½

Match 3: High Stakes v. Troubleshooters w/Phantasy
The fans give Reckless and Tristan a great reaction when they come to ringside. Tristan gives out a mask to a youngster at ringside. Torin Caelum is the man in charge of the action. The match has an incredible pace from outset which favours the much smaller High Stakes tandem. Muss gets cut off from his corner and Reckless hits two RECKLESS DRIVERS and a FLYING HAZARD but cannot get the win. The trouble shooters makes a brief comeback including a Double Phantasy on Tristan but cannot sustain the advantage as The Bomb is soon cut off like his partner was in the first half of the bout. High Stakes hits TITAN POWER but Bomb kicks out. The fans thought it was over and cannot believe the match is still going. Reckless immediately executes a RECKLESS DRIVER on Bomb. Phantasy cannot get a distraction and Tristan trips up Muss as Caelum makes the three count. ****

GWF War Zone goes on the air and we get pyro.

Match 4: Swarm w/She Devil v. Kill Prey w/Shann-Ra
Vin Strutter comes out to introduce his newest member of the Greatest Show in the Galaxy drawing incredible heat. Prey comes out and grabs the mic from Strutter telling him to never introduce him again. He tells Strutter to get out the ring. Phillip Haas draws the referee assignment and War Zone is underway. Prey is the clear aggressor from the outset and Swarm does not look like he will last more than a few minutes. Swarm catches a break when he rolls clear of a deathjump and picks a near fall. Prey quickly regains control and dominates the action including Ruptured Ear Strikes. Swarm again rolls clear of a deathjump leap and Prey crashes to the mat. Swarm cannot get the pin but is able to get something going from this point. Swarm Attack has Prey reeling and Swarm ends it moments later with a HORNET’S STING. Prey is furious with Strutter for not doing something to aid him. Prey tells Swarm that this is not over before leaving ringside without his manager. **

We go backstage where Genesis is interviewed. Tauran tells us that as controversial as his disqualification was last week against Epoch he takes full responsibility for his actions. He tells us that he will not make the same mistake tonight.

Match 5: Genesis v. Colonizers
The heat for Slave Beast as he introduces the “greatest tag team partner anyone could hope for” and the next Galaxian Champion Epoch. Phillip Haas works back to back matches. This one gets an incredible amount of time and a classic. Epoch and Tauran both do serious colour during the course of the match. Anviar survives a SECOND REIGN and both Slave Beast and Epoch make it through LEG HOOK PILEDRIVER by Tauran. Genesis controls most of the second half of the bout. Tauran finishes Epoch with a TAURAN SHARPSHOOTER but Beast breaks up the hold and then joins Epoch for a double team attack on Tauran. Haas gets shoved to the mat and he disqualifies the Colonizers. Security arrives quickly breaks things up. *****

We go to the announce pod and they hype Payback v. Encubus as our main event tonight.

Disaster comes to the ring and grabs the mic. Disaster addresses Commissioner Massif and tells him that suspending Paralyze will not stop the Gladiators. Disaster then announces that he will team with Havoc at Galactimania and they will win the Galaxian Tag Team Titles.

Switchblade is lead to the ring by his mother and is greeted warmly by the fans. Baruum Forus calls for the bell. Disaster is fired up but Switchblade’s speed proves difficult for the Gladiator to figure out. Switchblade backdrops Disaster to the floor and that is when the action turns. Disaster drags Switchblade to the floor and runs him back first to the post. The referee lets the action continue. Disaster hits the RAMPAGE but Switchblade kicks out at 2 and the fans love it. Disaster sends Switchblade to the floor and runs him into the rails. The referee calls for the bell this time and Switchblade has earned 10 points in the tournament. **

We go to the Docking Bay were Payback is checking out tables. Bloodline arrives and Payback tells him that after he takes Encubus to the extreme tonight, Bloodline will be next.

Phantasy and Trouble Shooters are interviewed in the ring and they review footage from prior to the show going on the air and the attack on Stars and Stripes. Phantasy tells the fans that it one team down, six more to go. Muss and Bomb give us a chest bump drawing great heat.

Match 7: She Devil v. Shann-Ra
Devil is out to nice pop from ringside. Phillip Haas draws another assignment tonight and he could not be happier. It is all Devil from the outset and she connects with a CANNONBALL CLOTHESLINE for a near fall. Devil follows with another for a 2 ½ count and the fans cannot believe Ra is still alive. Devil then hits a third consecutive CANNONBALL CLOTHESLINE for the win. *

We go backstage to Endgame who cuts a great promo about his mission to win the Galaxian Championship and rid the federation of the Gladiators at the same time. It will start tonight with Havoc.

We are in the dressing room area with She-Devil as she is congratulated by the Ani-Men of Andromeda. She cuts a promo and tells us that she knows all about Vin Strutter and his sick and twisted world and that the Ani-Men will take apart the Greatest Show in the Galaxy piece by piece.

Match 8: Havoc w/Thrash v. Endgame
Endgame is out to a huge pop. Havoc is not pleased and moves quickly moves to the floor to confront the fans drawing solid heat. Thrash tells Havoc to get focused. Baruum Forus will try and keep control of the action in the ring. Endgame shows us why he is an early favourite to win the Galaxian Title and destroys Havoc. An ULTIMA LEAP does not get the job done but a ROLLING FIGURE FOUR does. Thrash is not pleased with Havoc and chews him out after the match while Endgame celebrates with the fans. *

Commissioner Massif comes to the ring to a solid ovation. Massif has the Galaxian Ladies Championship with him and announces that at Galactimania there will be an over the top rope battle royal with the winner taking home the Galaxian Ladies Title.

We get an advertisement for Galactimania. Eight teams will battle for the Galaxian Tag Team Titles and Thrash, Lorelei, She Devil, Shann-Ra, Latasha & Phantasy will clash in a battle royal for the Ladies Title. In addition, in Galaxian Title Round Robin Tournament action, Bloodline faces Payback.

Match 9: Galaxian Title Round Robin Tournament – Block B: Payback v. Encubus w/Thantos
Thantos leads his son to the ring and the fans give it to both men. Payback is out to a huge pop. Torin Caelum is the referee in the ring so both men need to be careful not to take things too far. Encubus outclasses Payback from the outset and nearly ends it quickly with a SECOND COMING. The action goes to the floor but it is Encubus who maintains control hitting a Force of Darkness on the arena floor! Payback is busted open and Encubus wastes no time in putting him away with a GAMESMASTER DDT. *

We go backstage and Switchblade confronts Endgame and congratulates him on his win tonight. Switchblade then tells Endgame he will not have it so easy when they meet at Galactimania. Endgame tells him that he was lucky tonight and he will not be so lucky at Galactimania.

GWF Warzone goes off the air.

Match 10: Sly Drury w/Thantos v. Bloodline
Great heat for Drury as Thantos leads him to ringside. Bloodline is out to a solid pop. Phillip Haas is assigned the final match of the evening and we are underway. Great action in this one from the outset. Bloodline is the clear aggressor and holds the advantage early on. Drury survives a COSMIC BIG BANG and Bloodline keeps coming. Thantos causes a distraction to save Drury from another COSMIC BIG BANG. Drury is able to capitalize and takes control of the action. A LAST CALL finds its mark but does not get the job done. Bloodline makes a comeback with the fans behind him. A CETUS MASTERLOCK should have ended it but Thantos interferes and the match keeps going. Bloodline maintains the momentum and gets the win with a COSMIC BIG BANG. ***

[Crimson Cross]

I like how you incorporate the names of your referee's and it's good seeing Caelum dishing out the rules. The DQ Chaos runs wild in the GWF, but that can be a good thing at times with it being a intense atmosphere. The Genesis & Colonizer match looked like you had a great match that you rolled out and it's good seeing Endgame, Encubus & Bloodline all win their respective matches...

2119.01.03 Solar Flare Stadium, Mercury – House Show

Match 1: Tanck w/Thantos v. Anivar
Tanck is out to great heat. Phillip Haas is the referee in the ring and the GWF’s first house show is underway. This one is slow paced with Tanck getting in tones of power moves. Several lifting hammerlocks wears down Anivar and Tanck picks up the win after a fallaway slam. * ½

Match 2: Center Stage w/Vin Strutter v. Guardians
Strutter gives us a long intro and Steele Freak is wheeled out in a cage. Phillip Haas is once again the referee and the match starts once Strutter forces Freak out of his cage. The Guardians look impressive in this one from the outset and cut off Freak from this corner. Freak survives a WARRIOR’S RAGE and VIOLENT OUTBURST before Reckless tags in. A top rope huracanrana sets up a FLYING HAZARD for the win. * ½

Match 3: The Betrayer w/Thantos v. Switchblade w/Lorelei
Switchblade is out to a huge pop from ringside. Phillip Haas is earning his paycheck tonight and calls for the bell. Switchblade comes out flying and a Flying Missile Shot spills Betrayer to the floor. Betrayer is able to gain control outside and immediately goes for the win with a TOTAL BETRAYAL. Switchblade escapes the hold twice but Betrayer keeps coming and ends it a third TOTAL BETRAYAL. * ½

Match 4: She Devil & Latasha v. Shann-Ra & Phantasy
Latasha and Devil are out to a warm reaction from ringside. Phantasy shows off for the fans with some backflips and draws great heat. Baruum Forus is the man in charge of the action. All four of these ladies can really move in the ring and the pace in this one is off the charts. Devil nearly ends it against Ra early on when a catapult body press sets up a CANNONBALL CLOTHESLINE. Ra manages to kick out and eventually both sides are able to make tags. The match goes back and forth. Phantasy dominates the bout when she is in the ring and the momentum remains with her side. Ra gets a couple of near falls on Devil and then puts her away with a MACHETE. ***

Match 5: U.S. Male w/Latasha v. The Bomb w/Phantasy
With their tag team partners injured, Male and The Bomb meet in singles action. It is the classic matchup of power v. speed. Phillip Haas calls for the action to start. Male is able to avoid Bomb’s offense early on. The Bomb begins to get winded as the action continues and Male takes advantage with a series of PATRIOT MISSILES but cannot get the pin. Phantasy causes a distraction and keeps The Bomb from being pinned. Male hits another PATRIOT MISSILE and that brings Muss to the ring. The Troubleshooters attack Male while Phantasy attacks Latasha on the floor. The Fighting Titans arrive and the Troubleshooters quickly leave ringside. Male picks up a disqualification victory as the heat in this feud continues to build. ***

Match 6: Galaxian Title Round Robin Tournament – Block B: Epoch w/Slave Beast v. Paralyze
Epoch is introduced by Slave Beast and draws great heat. Commissioner Massif comes to the ring and announces that since Paralyze is currently under suspension, Epoch will be awarded the win and 20 points in the tournament. More heat from ringside. Epoch and Beast are about to leave the ring but Massif tells them that Epoch may have picked up the tournament win but the fans have paid to see Epoch complete and Massif has an opponent lined up. Tauran comes out to a great pop. Phillip Haas is again our official and Epoch is not pleased with the situation. The action quickly goes to the floor and Tauran is the victim of double teaming by Beast and Epoch and is nearly counted out. Tauran does great colour and is clearly not the same for the balance of the bout. The action goes back and forth but Tauran is never really able to get Epoch on the mat for a serious pin attempt. A series of backbreaker racks and cradle neckbreakers do the damage and Epoch gets the win with THE DARK AGE. ***

Match 7: Fighting Titans v. Havoc & Disaster w/Thrash
With Paralyze suspended Disaster has stepped in to team with Havoc at the upcoming tag team title tournament. This is there first match as a team. Tristan gives a mask to a young fan at ringside. Torin Caelum draws his first assignment tonight. Tristan starts out against a much larger Disaster and connects with a catapult elbow and Payback tags in with a Wildman spear stuns the Gladiator. EXVENGE (2) hits. Payback hooks the leg while Tristan takes out Havoc with a double leg kick. The Titans have a huge win and the Gladiators apparently have some work to do. *

Match 8: Galaxian Title Round Robin Tournament – Block A: Kill Prey w/Vin Strutter v. Endgame
Strutter is about to give us his own introduction when Prey comes the ring and grabs the mic telling Strutter to get out of the ring. The ovation for Endgame is off the charts. Baruum Forus calls for the bell. Endgame controls the early action with his power including a Ryden Bomb. Endgame thrills the fans when he leaps onto both Strutter and Prey at ringside leading to a near count out. Prey is able to roll clear of a deathjump attempt and the momentum changes. A series of Hunter’s Eye Claws and Ruptured Ear Strikes has Endgame reeling. Prey picks up the huge win with an AMBUSH. ** ½

[Crimson Cross]

It's really good to see Tanck with a huge win over Anivar and the Betrayer also has a big win over Switchblade and thats a good thing. I'm glad to see Epoch win with THE DARK AGE and Killprey securing his victory with the AMBUSH is all good and the next round in the Championship Tournament should be Wild...

[bookerbill]

2119.01.04 Ceres Amphitheatre, Asteroid Belt – GWF War Zone

Match 1: Steele Freak w/Vin Strutter v. Anivar
Baruum Force is ready to make the three count as a Strutter leads a cage to the ring which can only mean that Steele Freak will be in action to opening things up. Anivar is out to a solid ovation. This one gets plenty of time and Anivar dominate the bout with his power moves. Freak survives a FULL NELSON DROP and alter Strutter causes a distraction which allows the action to continue after a Equuleus Spinebuster. Strutter gets involved in the action when he clocks Anivar with his microphone but the member of the Genesis team keeps coming. The action begins to spill in and out of the ring with Anivar maintaining control until he attempts to go after Strutter which allows Freak to strike with a chop block. Back inside, Freak uses BESERK POUNDING ASSAULT to get the comeback win. ***

Match 2: Switchblade w/Lorelei v. Havoc w/Thrash
Havoc loves to taunt the fans at ringside and he keeps the excitement level up. Swtichblade is out to a classic pop as he comes to the ring with his mother. Torin Caelum is our referee. Havoc drop Switchblade with a knife-hand chop and then tangles Switchblade in the ropes. Havoc is fired up and hammers away on his trapped opponent. Caelum steps in and gets shoved away by the Gladiator. Although he does not even fall to the mat, Caelum makes the disqualification call. dud

Match 3: The Amazing Mann w/Vin Strutter v. Reckless
Strutter is back out for the second time in three matches. At least the fans watching on the Holonet will not be subjected to him. Torin Caelum is back out for another bout. Solid action from the outset in this one. Mann keeps things grounded early on but then Reckless explodes on offense with a springboard moonsault and a top rope huracanrana. Mann kicks out of a RECKLESS DRIVER and then Reckless plants Mann with a FLYING HAZARD but Mann kicks out at the last second. Reckless mounts the corner for a deathjump smash but Reckless pauses just for a second to see what Strutter is doing at ringside before he leaps and that is enough time for Mann to roll clear. Mann hooks the leg for the three count. Another comeback win for Center Stage. ***

The Holonet goes to air and the go home addition of GWF Warzone is underway.

Match 4: Kill Prey w/Vin Strutter v. Antak w/She Devil.
Fans will be subjected to Vin Strutter yet again this prodcast. It looks like Strutter will give us an introduction for Kill Prey but thinks twice about it when Prey gives him a look that means business. Devil leads Antak to the ring and goes right for Strutter who quickly hides behind Prey who tells him to “get out of the ring worm.” Phillip Haas is the referee for the opening match and we are underway. Prey dominates most of this one. Antak manages to kick out after an AMBUSH. Antak makes a very brief comeback and manages to stun Prey with a deathjump clothesline. Later, Prey leaps off the top of the buckles onto Antak at ringside in a solid looking spot. Prey ends it with a second AMBUSH. ** ½

The announcers tell us that all the competitors in the Battle Royal to determine the Galaxian Woman’s Champion will see action tonight as the team of Thrash, Phantasy and Shann-Ra meets She-Devil, Latasha & Lorelei.

Backstage, The Society of Death and Thantos cut a promo and tells us they will end the Fighting Titans tonight.

Match 5: Fighting Titans v. Society of Death w/Thantos
The Titans are out to a classic pop from the fans. Tristan gives a mask to a youngster. Torin Caelum is in charge of the action. We get treated to Payback v. Tanck early on and Payback is on fire. The Titans team up for TITAN POWER but The Betrayer makes the save. Payback Time takes something out of both Tanck and Payback. Both sides make tags and Betrayer gains the upper hand. He works over Tristan with two ALL FALL DOWNS, TOTAL BETRAYAL and a BLACK FUNERAL. Tristan escapes each time but Payback has to save him from an ALL FALL DOWN but Betrayer keeps the pressure on and ends it with a BLACK FUNERAL while Tanck ties up Payback. **** ½

We are backstage with Tauran who cuts a promo telling the fans that Genesis is a team on the rise and they will win the Tag Team Title Tournament at Galactimania. Tonight, Tauran warns Encubus not to underestimate him and tells him that that points in the Galaxian Title Tournament are earned.

Match 6: Galaxian Title Round Robin Tournament Match – Block A: Disaster w/Havoc v. Sly Drury
The Gladiators are out to great heat. Does Disaster ever look happy? Phillip Haas has been assigned to referee the action and he calls for the bell. In essence, this is a classic matchup of power v. agility. The match is closely contested until Disaster breaks through with some brawling. Disaster works over the neck with a pair of Decapitators. Drury is able to avoid a charge to the corner and rolls up the Gladiators nearly stealing the win. Disaster regains control when he avoids Drury’s deathjump smash leading to a near fall. Disaster takes the action in and out of the ring and then sets up for RAMPAGE. While holding Drury on the buckles. Disaster points to Thantos and tells him not to interfere before crushing Drury to the mat. 1, 2, kick out! The fans cannot believe it. Disaster mounts the corner and goes for a deathjump smash but Drury rolls clear and the Gladiator crashes to the mat. Drury hooks the leg. 1, 2, 3! Huge win for Drury and Disaster is still looking for his first win in the Title Tournament. *** ½

We are backstage with Bloodline who cuts a promo the history that flows through the blood in his veins. He tells us about growing up watching his family battle year after year and how the GWF consumed his entire family. How he is now consumed by the same passion and fire that drove the members of the Omega line before him. It would be that same passion that will bring with him to the ring tonight and he will emerge victorious. Bloodline tells Swarm that even if he embraces every element of the animal in him, it will not be enough. Nothing will stop him from fulfilling his destiny and becoming the Galaxian Champion.

Match 7: Latasha, Lorelei & She-Devil v. Phantasy, Thrash & Shann-Ra
The fans seem excited for this one. Thrash, Phantasy and Ra are in each other’s faces from the moment they hit the ring. Baruum Forus gives the instructions and we are underway. The ladies are given some time and all six ladies tag in and out of the ring early on. Thrash is reluctant to tag out and it cost her as she gets cut off from her partners but her opponents cannot get her on the mat for a pin attempt. She Devil is cut off and Phantasy picks up a pair of near falls. Thrash ends up back in the ring with Lorelei and nearly ends it with a single arm DDT out of nowhere. Thrash immediately hits a body slam turnbuckle smash and gets the three count. **

We get an advertisement for Galactimania. Endgame faces Switchblade, Bloodline will meet Endgame, Latasha, Lorelei, She-Devil, Phantasy, Thrash & Shann-Ra will compete in a Battle Royal for the Galaxian Woman’s Title and 8 teams will complete in a single elimination tournament for the Galaxian Tag Team Titles.
Thantos and Encubus are interviewed back stage and Thantos is confident that his son will not only emerge victorious tonight but will be the next Galaxian Champion. Encubus tells us that his dad was a winner when he competed in the ring and is about to tell us he is a winner as well when Thrash walks in and grabs the mic. Thantos starts in on Thrash but Disaster & Havoc arrive and he shuts up. Disaster tells Thantos to “think twice skull head before you and your pup get hurt…bad.” Thrash then cuts her own promo telling the Galaxy that tonight she proved she was the best in the federation and next card she will win the battle royal and reclaim her spot atop the GWF.

Match 8: Galaxian Title Round Robin Tournament Match – Block B – Tauran v. Encubus w/Thantos
The fans are all over Thantos and Encubus as they come to the ring. They contrastingly greet Tauran warmly. Phillip Haas is the man in the stripes and we are underway. Encubus gets control of this one early. Tauran someone survives all three of Encubus’ finishers before he is able to get something going ramming Encubus shoulder first into the steel ring post. Tauran hits a gutbuster body drop but his advantage is short lived as Encubus avoids a charge in the corner leading to a near fall. A GAMESMASTER DDT ends it. ** ½

The announcers hype the upcoming Ladder Match and explain the rules as we are shown the contract being hung above the ring.

Match 9: Earth Ladder Match – Bloodline v. Swarm w/She Devil
Both men are out to a solid ovation from ringside. Phillip Haas is our official. Both men stare at the contract hung above the ring and the bell sounds. Swarm’s game plan is to get the contract quickly and makes a couple of unsuccessful attempts to climb a ladder after Bee Keeper Backbreakers. It does not look like Bloodline stands a chance at this point but things turn around when both men fall from the ladder at one point and Swarm appears to injury his leg. Bloodline is relentless in his attack from this point focusing on Swarm’s leg. Bloodline makes use of the ladder at one point battering ramming it into Swarm leg and later trapping Swarm’s leg in the ladder and stomping away. Bloodline then unleashes a series of CETUS MASTERLOCKS but Swarm stops Bloodline from climbing the ladder each time. The fans are really pulling for Swarm at this point. A COSMIC BIG BANG does not end it. Devil distracts Bloodline which saves Swarm from another CETUS MASTERLOCK. The fans are on fire at this point and Bloodline climbs the corner for a COSMIC BIG BANG and then scales the ladder and grabs the contract for win. **** ½
After the match, Commissioner Massif comes to the ring and congratulates Bloodline on a hard fought victory and confirms that Bloodline has earned a shot at the Galaxian Championship. Slave Beast and Epoch arrive and confront Massif demanding that he tell the fans the truth. Epoch tells Massif to come clean and admit that he had deceived the fans. Epoch announces that he, and not Bloodline, is the first contender to the Galaxian Championship as he was the first one to obtain three Championship Chase Points. Epoch takes us through his three wins (over Tauran on the first Warzone, over Tauran at Mercury and over Paralyze by the Commissioner’s own decision at Mercury). Epoch says he has come out to thank Commissioner Massif for first suspending that idiot Gladiator and second for allowing him the opportunity to gain his third Championship Chase Point against Tauran which made the victory that much sweeter. Massif is forced to admit that Epoch is correct and that Bloodline will actually be second in line. Bloodline says it does not matter who he faces for the title and tells Epoch that if is actually fortunate enough to win the title, his reign will last exactly one card.

We go off the air with Bloodline staring down Epoch.
Everyone leaves the ring except for Commissioner Massif who thanks his homeplanet fans for supporting the GWF for year. He decides to thank the fans by making one more match and calls Epoch and Slave Beast back to the ring. They are not pleased and become even more upset when their opponents are introduced… Endgame & Valour!

Match 10: Colonizers v. Endgame & Valour
Phillip Haas remains in the ring and we are underway. The crowd is on fire early on in this one. It is evenly matched with all four men seeing action. The end comes out of nowhere when Valour this Seeds of Fury on Slave Beast for the win. *
