CARD 1138 – RUINS OF ANTILIA:

Bloodline beats Pegasus in an epic Ruins of Antilia match. Pegasus may of finally cracked OTB but he’s not resting on his laurels. He now wants to be Heavyweight champion again and shows there is life in the old dog yet. Would almost certainly be getting a title shot if not for Genocide being the sitting champion. Beating Bloodline in a match like this might make it impossible for Commissioner Morpheus to hold him back. Bloodline is very motivated to derail him though. He is impatient to become a superstar and this is potentially a massive scalp. Was quite the rollercoaster of a match as it turns out. Pegasus dominant initially and showing no desire to get among the ruins. However he fails to finish Bloodline even after PROJECT PEGASUS. This becomes the theme for him as he just doesn’t manage to kill things off. Bloodline had an astonishing 14 tokens by the end and still won. Bloodline was more than up for fighting among the ruins and Pegasus couldn’t keep him in the ring. Most of the match was now fought outside and that’s where the fatigue racked up. Mostly on the side of Bloodline. There were some dramatic spots that including dunkings in the creek and even a couple of controversial appearances by the Code Enforcers who gave Bloodline some extra beatings. Pegasus wasn’t immune himself to being acquainted with stone walls and floors though. Finally the action found its way back to the ring for an extended period. In a thrilling finale Bloodline tossed Pegasus into the ropes. The pair collided with a double clothesline from which Bloodline, despite all he’d been through, managed to recover first. He scrambled over to the groggy Pegasus and slapped on CETUS MASTERLOCK. Pegasus couldn’t break free and valued his legs more than victory. He tapped out after about 30 seconds to give Bloodline the major scalp he craved. Pegasus later admitted signing this match type to be a mistake “I should have insisted on regular rules, these special matches can throw curveballs”.

Titan Attack win a thriller over the Clones. This was booked a while back but now reservations after their clash at ONLY THE BEST. Was a snooze fest. Surely this would be much better. Of course the Clones cannot let anything pass without some weirdness. Playing on the dullness of their last match they come into the ring dressed as librarians and carrying books. A more accurate description would be carrying weapons. Anyway this was like night and day compared to the last meeting. So much excitement. Titans made a dazzling start with Scion softening Defender up with THE RISE AND FALL and FLYING TITAN. Unfortunately Ursa Major couldn’t quite clean up despite SHOTGUN CRADLE a couple of times. The Clones came right back into it and the match went to and fro. That was until Jester got the upper hand against Scion. He hit A DEAD MAN’S VERSE which Scion just about kicked out of it. Then did the move again straight after. Ursa Major thought sod it and dropped a leg over Jester as he was covering whilst the ref dealt with Defender. He then picked up a heavy duty book that was laying on the apron and smashed it over Jester’s head. This reverses the pin and Scion got the three. Bit unlike the Titans to win in such a way. Though can be justified as Jester probably should have been disqualified for that despicable illegal move anyway. Seems a shame that Titan Attack is still being kept out the tag title picture yet their opponents tonight move onto a title shot next week. Lord Nexus refuses to get frustrated and says of it “I understand the Commissioner’s stance. Besides we don’t need belts to make us feel good about ourselves. Our time will come”.

Supernova shows superiority over Thrash. Two legends of the women’s division face off for the right to challenge Sniper next week. Both determined to bring this upstart who is embarrassing everyone down. Controlled aggression very much in evidence from Supernova. She knows that to hang with Thrash you need to be ready for a ruck. Just doesn’t want to risk blowing things with a silly DQ. Especially with the carrot of a title shot being dangled for the winner. Same cannot be said of Thrash. It’s in the nature of any Aethran male or female to wrestle any match as it is a war. The handbrake is never on. Supernova was much quicker to the draw and started in dominant fashion. Thrash, as expected, tried to turn the tide by going outside and instigating a brawl. She gets a big surprise as Supernova leaps over the top rope with a cross body and then plants her head hard into the ring apron. Back in the ring Supernova maintains a high intensity that Thrash simply can’t cope with. She gets the pin after a Cetus Slam and now progresses to a title shot. Supernova is determined to deliver “it’s been a long time since I held the belt. Fair play to Sniper but it’s time for a change as she’s making us other girls look bad”.

Theatre of Pain defeated Disorder X. Theatre of Pain don’t really identify as either hero or villain here on Centra. They are keen to face either. Although in their feud with the Clones they have been labelled as the hero team. It happens again here as everyone would rather see them prevail rather than Disorder X. The hatred towards Disorder X is fuelled by their being part of Team CPC but mainly because of Grunge’s abominable behaviour in recent times towards Nora Pelf. They don’t have the luxury of Thantos managing them tonight. He is very hit and miss on ring appearances with them. His priority is more on the singles guys and just currently sees having a tag team as part of Team CPC a necessary presence in the division. There are no grumblings of discontent from Mace and Grunge though. They are just about tolerating one another and do not care too much how Thantos perceives them. Their problems come to the fore here. Having made a solid start Grunge set about striking Tragedy with Total Disorder. However Mace hadn’t got a proper grip before Grunge propelled himself towards them. Tragedy was able wriggle get free and Mace took the full impact of the dropkick. As he staggered backwards he then hit his head on the ring post. Grunge didn’t have time to check on his partner as Theatre of Pain was then upon him. When Mace stopped seeing stars he felt the bump on his head and then kicked a ring post in anger causing a leg injury to himself. After that he limped off with the massive hump leaving Grunge to fend for himself. Grunge didn’t last long on his own and after having SHAKESPEARE performed on him was pinned. Can’t see Disorder X lasting much longer as a team. Especially after this. It’s not an isolated incident as has been happening on dark shows too and even led to fisticuffs backstage according to a credible witness.

Taechon overcame Maxine Babe. Even after all these months Taechon is receiving cruel taunts about their gender. Good job he/she is thick skinned. Maxine Babe is one of the worst offenders. Every now and then she cannot resist poking fun at Taechon on social media. Nora Pelf has offered Taechon a hand of friendship. She knows what it is like to be bullied and feels for her. For now Taechon focuses on punishing Maxine as best they can. Didn’t go too well at the start though. Maxine pulverised Taechon after a despicable move before the bell where she planted a stiletto right in the unmentionables and shouted “if you are female then this won’t hurt quite as much as it could do”. Taechon suffered in the aftermath of that and it was amazing that they didn’t lose despite numerous pin attempts. One of those coming after DUDE’S CHOICE (assisted by one of Maxine’s model friends). Taechon came through it all and eventually woke up to build steady offence. Enjoying the positivity of the crowd Taechon ended up winning the bout with CONTACT POINT.

Meteor over Mutant by DQ. Meteor still grinding away at his wresting career. His allegiance with the Titans hadn’t bore much fruit yet. Has mainly been working the dark shows. Tonight a rare appearance on TV. Brings slightly more joy as gets the DQ win as Mutant (the Terrorists were absent) starts getting too wild. It took some bringing under control. Replays suggest that it got spooked by something in the crowd. Meteor was upbeat even though he’d not had to earn the victory and says “every loss I take is a lesson, I am learning all the time and tonight showed I am heading in the right direction”. That’s a hell of a lot lessons but I guess let him have his moment.

CARD 1139 – CENTRA PALLADIUM:

Big show tonight as the GWFC really pushes the boat out. Three of the belts being defended. The Heavyweight belt match is being saved for next week’s WEDNESDAY NIGHT WARRIORS. Also next week details of the next big supercard THE MEGA SHOW goes live. Commissioner Morpheus promises a special matches feast.

Tag champs, Twin Blood, keep belts by beating the Clones by DQ. Not a match passes for the Clones without them acting all weird and doing daft things. Tonight they are wearing comedy glasses and holding mirrors up in front of each other before collapsing in fits of laughter. The fed up Dreggs summons Mad Jester who obliges by cartwheeling towards him. Dreggs meets him with a meaty clothesline. Jester struggles to recover only for his grogginess to turn to rage. Points at Dreggs and tells him “you broke my glasses”. Then proceeds to rub his boots together to sharpen the almost concealed blades contained within. Dreggs is determined not to get sliced with those and continues on the offensive. Sleeze then got tagged in and almost dropped the ball as he gets into a bit of bother up against Defender of the Realm. Dreggs and Johnny Rocket show faith in him to kick out of the few pin attempts that happen. Was good restraint as Sleeze does just that and then gets a hot tag. Dreggs is all guns blazing again and has quite the grapple with Mad Jester. That was until Dreggs cleverly sucked Jester into going outside with him. He made sure he was stood close to the ring post knowing full well Jester would throw him into it. The ref, a known stickler, has no tolerance for it and disqualified Jester straight away. Some post match afters sees Twin Blood in perfect harmony to put both Clones on the deck via an array of double team moves. Then in a crowd pleasing moment they stamp on the glasses that had been worn earlier as if to say ‘how dare you turn our title match into a joke’. Twin Blood’s long reign with the tag belts reaches 36 cards and now part of the top ten of all time in terms of length. I have a feeling they are not done climbing that list.

Centra champ, Code Enforcer Manslaughter, overcomes Tortured Soul by DQ. Different test for Manslaughter here. One he might not of been expecting as Tortured Soul is named surprise top contender to the Centra belt. Made possible by a big win over Blade and some good form at dark shows. Its undead nature and zombie-like tolerance for pain make it a tough nut to crack. Manslaughter embraces the challenge. Usually he’d be odds on favourite. However Commando Sam has a fever and is missing from ringside leaving Maleph free to wreak havoc. Maleph certainly does that. Manslaughter was really probing Tortured Soul’s pain threshold with his repertoire of moves. Looking ready to complete a routine win as he went for HEADS WILL ROLL. Of course Maleph wasn’t going to let him have it that easy and flew into the ring making horrendous wailing sounds. Maybe if Sam was there he’d of either dealt with Maleph or told Manslaughter to ignore it. Instead Manslaughter didn’t go for the pin and tried to get at Maleph. Behind him Tortured Soul rises like the undead as he eerily sits up. Coming up behind and smashing into the back of Manslaughter with a boney forearm. The champ crashes face down and looks in trouble. He crawls under the rope and falls out of the ring. Problem with Maleph is that he values disorder over any shiny belt. A disqualification loss is seen as a victory by Brymstonians. So he started attacking Manslaughter and trying to tear shreds out of his back. With great strength Manslaughter pushed him off. When the bombardment continued and Tortured Soul climbed outside too, stalking like a zombie, there was no alternative. Manslaughter armed himself with a chair and laid them both out. It was either that or become victim to a possible unpleasant attack.

Ladies champ, Sniper, beats Supernova again. Sniper’s unbelievable form this year is making her a contender for wrestler of the year. She could be the first women to win the award if she manages to stay as the champion for the entire year. She’s actually already held the belt for more than a year having won it during 2109. Supernova is determined to end the reign. After all it’s her record that Sniper is chasing. Sadly she comes up short as once again Sniper is quite simply irresistible. Just gung ho from the start and putting Supernova under pressure with her finisher and various pin attempts. An accidental ref bump probably helped prolong the match. In fact Supernova was able to muster some offence during this period. It didn’t last too long though as Sniper seemed to be just recharging. In fact it was a complete shut out. Defensive wrestling of the highest order. Then when she was ready to go again exploded with another big offensive wave that culminated in her almost taking Supernova’s head off with a Hitwomen’s Clothesline. So that’s brought her belt run to 54 cards. If she can keep it for 10 more then the record is hers. Supernova admitted afterwards “I didn’t expect anyone to ever get close to my record let alone break it. If she does manage to do it I’ll be among the first to congratulate her. She’s an incredible talent”.

Vengeance bloodied Lance At-Las. Spoke too soon. Lance is suddenly called into action by Commando Sam for an important assignment. Facing Vengeance is a pretty big deal. Lance cuts short a planned camping trip to Antilia to be here. Vengeance grins on coming face to face with him “you should of stayed retired old man”. It doesn’t look great for Lance as shortly after making the assignment Sam fell ill and as a result isn’t able to be at ringside for any FDF matches tonight. At least Brute had stayed away though. He and Vengeance aren’t bosom buddies. Fears that Lance might get blown away are allayed though. Even though he loses and is bloody at the end he can walk away with pride. He ran Vengeance pretty close. Ultimately a second HELTER SKELTER was too much to take. Vengeance will now be expecting to replace Thunder as the primary singles wrestler of the Gladiators. It’s hard to argue against with Thunder misfiring so much.

Enigma and Skinhead over Bloodline and Prodigy by DQ. Lots of passion in this one. Both Prodigy and Bloodline are trying to prove themselves to Thantos as they aim to be his top guy. With Terminus stumbling of late there’s a good chance of one of them getting the bigger push. Bloodline is in a particularly good position having just upset Pegasus. On the other side Skinhead is riding a wave of popularity and of course he always enjoys beating on Prodigy. Throw in Enigma who is trying to get back to the heights of earlier this year and realise his full potential and we have a pretty hot match. It becomes a showcase for some quite sublime moves. Prodigy and Enigma particularly spectacular in almost everything they do. Bloodline then shows his confidence by bossing Enigma. He was able to hit him with BLOODLINE’S BIG BANG twice. For a variety of reasons he couldn’t put him away though. The longer things went the more temperatures rise. Things then get really heated as Thantos decides to punish Skinhead for coming too near him with Satanic Skull Smasher. After this everyone piles in. Even Johnny Rocket. The ref has great difficulty separating them so his decision can be announced. It goes quiet long enough to learn Skinhead and Enigma were victors by DQ and then everyone just starts brawling again.

Malice crushed Sir Ender in a handful of moves. Sir Ender is struggling to take these relentless Gladiator beatings. Tries to show confidence by facing up to Malice in a death stare but we could all see that he was trembling. Malice wastes little time and immediately batters him. Even when Sir Ender begs off he shows no mercy. A few moves later he ends it with FIELDS OF MALICE. Things got worse for Sir Ender as Vengeance, who was sore about losing to him by DQ last month, entered the ring to give him an extra beating. As Sir Ender was carried away on a stretcher he was still delusional about his ties to the Gladiators and could be heard whispering “thank you”.

CARD 1140 – WEDNESDAY NIGHT WARRIORS – CENTRA PALLADIUM:

This might just be the most hardcore card the GWFC has booked so far with 2 of the most dangerous possible matches dominating the show. Although this is rumoured to be a mere taster of what is to come at the jam packed MEGA SHOW next month which is the next supercard.

Heavyweight champ, Genocide, goes over Mandrill again by DQ. Normally title shots are a reward for winning ONLY THE BEST only Commissioner Morpheus is still not booking title matches between heroes. Mandrill cannot believe his luck. Another stab at Genocide comes his way. This time he vows to get it right. He makes sure to arrive first and stares down the runway at the curtain. Hoping Buck Steele rather than Genocide emerges. Of course that rarely happens these days and Genocide bursts through the curtain. On seeing this Mandrill gives Sentry a knowing glance. Just what were they hatching? Genocide tosses the belt on the runway and hits the ring at breakneck speed. Is immediately obvious that Mandrill isn’t going to be able to live with him as he’s tossed around the ring. Sentry lets it pass for a few minutes before climbing the ring steps to enter the ring. The mere fact that he’s stepped in holding up his stun gun in a threatening manner is enough to convince the ref to issue the DQ. Now the fun begins. A roll of doubles and I decided that I’d use the old feud chart for from the first ringside companion for once. Genocide doesn’t wait to see what Sentry might do. He rips off all the turnbuckle pads and sets about smashing Sentry into all of them. Sentry just stands frozen with fear. Genocide removes the stun gun from his grip and blasts Sentry with it from point blank range. All the while Mandrill has grabbed a chair and sneaks up behind Genocide. Before the paralysed Sentry can be tossed into the first turnbuckle Mandrill has brought the chair down across the back of Genocide’s head. Genocide goes down on one knee. Another strike seconds later puts him down on the deck. Mandrill then grabs the stun gun and gives Genocide a taste of his own medicine by blasting him too. Now followed several minutes of Mandrill beating on Genocide with more chair shots and also using his COLONIZER CLAW SLAM many times over. The attack only ends because of Corporal Aegis leading a cavalry charge with the SWAT Team. It was too late though as the damage was done. The beating was so bad that Genocide had actually shrunk in size back to Buck Steele such was the body shock. He is loaded onto a stretcher with Aegis directing operations. Amid the carnage the Heavyweight belt was nearly left behind until Aegis remembers to grab it. He gave it a longing gaze before gently placing it onto Buck who somehow mustered enough strength to hold it into his chest. Hopefully not for the last time.

Mayhem destroyed Code Enforcer Euritar in a Four Weapons of Destruction match. Euritar is not to be outdone by Manslaughter. He may have a style focused on agility and speed but that doesn’t mean he cannot do hardcore. Mayhem would be looking to make him regret that though. I seem to say this a lot nowadays but he is another angry Gladiator. Losing on Centra much more than he is winning (3-6 record on televised shows). The smorgasbord of weapons means penalties for losing in a match like this are tough and almost certain injury awaits. On entering the ring Mayhem has cheered up significantly and looks like a kid in a sweet shop. Loving the fact all these weapons are so close to hand. Although he’d be happy if he had to fight with just sticks and stones. Anyway it becomes a disaster for Euritar. He doesn’t get a go with a single weapon. Instead Mayhem is all over them and simply destroying Euritar. In the midst he also hit a near perfect LEAP OF DOOM. By the end Mayhem did not have a single accumulated token. That’s how one-sided it was. Euritar finally collapses after taking a Mayhem Manslaughter and is then loaded onto a stretcher. As mentioned previously injury for the losing wrestler is inevitable. Euritar got off pretty lightly as it rolled out as 2 cards. His injuries classed a mainly superficial. Mayhem’s win completes a strong night for the Gladiators and hints that maybe they’ve finally woken up here on Centra.

Skinhead raises the roof as he beats Terminus in Circinus Cell match. What a transformation it’s been for Skinhead. Now he walks into the Circinus Cell for a major match. Some even suggest he is now more important to the Rocket Men than Paragon. He takes on Terminus who, since dropping the Heavyweight belt, has been on a downward spiral. So much so that Thantos is thinking of moving Bloodline into the picture for the main belt and sending Terminus to chase the Centra belt. Terminus has a chance to delay, or better yet, change his mind by winning big here. He ends up doing himself no favours though. Skinhead was supremely confident and in the face of his intensity Terminus wilted. It didn’t take too long for the action to reach the top of the cage whereupon Skinhead executed a power bomb. The impact broke the roof and Terminus fell 15 feet. He was badly injured as a result. Skinhead carefully climbed back down into the cage and within a few more moves finished things off via Skinhead’s Sleeper. The aftermath revealed Terminus to be injured for 4 cards. Last thing he needs as is about to enter into an intense match programme against Paragon next month.

Thunder finally gets a break as he beats Rising Sun. Every Gladiator is under the spotlight this month. Perhaps none more so than Thunder. Assumed to be their next big star. However he has had a year to forget so far. Has a 4-8 record this year. Three of those wins came in the Centra belt tournament in the opening month so it gives an idea of how badly things have gone since. Rising Sun on the other hand has been the subject of so many superlatives. Reaching the final of OTB is something he could never of imagined. The match happens at a blistering pace. It looks like it might be same old story for Thunder as despite all his intensity and apparent domination he can’t get the match won. His finisher and many devastating moves lead to pin attempts only for Rising to produce miraculous kick outs. There was also a couple of close count-outs. Every now and then Rising threatened a comeback only to be pegged back. To be fair to Thunder he kept at it and a second go with THE TEMPEST finally got the pin. Given Rising’s high standing in the fed at the moment this is a big win for Thunder and one that will catapult his ranking.

Malice and Overkill look unconvincing as they beat the SWAT Team by DQ. Both teams in need of a pickup after disappointment at OTB. This represents a huge test for the SWAT Team. If they thought facing Rebel Empire was tough then this is another level. Trisis was on commentary rooting for them and suggests “sounds insane but maybe they should go after Overkill. He’s the weak spot as he’s the one getting pinned”. Dragonmaster responds “not much gets past you. I agree he’s been struggling. Perhaps Thunder and Overkill should reform their legendary tag team because they are both struggling”. The SWAT Team consider it a great honour to be in the ring with the Gladiators and even offer handshakes. Unsurprisingly spurned. They would of probably got their hands crushed anyway. When the match then begins it soon becomes very clear that the SWAT Team are far from out their depth. Warfare stands up to Overkill’s power very well and generally gets the better of their grappling. In fact he initiated TRENCH WARFARE to put Overkill in real peril. Needs to produce a powerful kick out to avoid the loss. After that it’s very much a case of both teams cancelling each other out. In fact it’s all very laboured until Warfare caused his team to be disqualified for needlessly trying to get at Brute outside the ring. The Gladiators may of won but they still looked very unconvincing. This new tag team is not gelling. Overkill, in particular, is looking very stale and in desperate need of a cleansing.

Desolation Factor over Lethal Lottery by DQ. Splatter and Vyper are back and ready to create more carnage. Even though their lottery attack backfired last time they promise to pick new winners very soon. This would be intense. Desolation Factor, much like the Gladiators, are angry at being made to look bad due to recent alarming losses. It was pretty feisty outside the ring too. Commando Sam is determined to prevent the Terrorists from doing their thing and giving little respite. They’d already left their mark on the Soulwatcher earlier in the card. Sam needed to be careful though as he was outnumbered and Desolation Factor might not be able to easily help him. In the end it was a pretty poor contest. Splatter made the first moves only to be quickly overpowered by Rack. Barely a couple minutes passed and Splatter left the ring. He returns with Arsenal in his hands and just starts swinging wildly at anything that moves. Lots of air shots. On taking a particularly large back swing Ruin was able dive onto him and smother. The Terrorists now enter and attempt to whip Ruin across the back. This brings everyone else in and it’s just a wild brawl that took several minutes to die down. Blood was spilled on both sides. Hopefully no lasting injuries though.

Mike Fortune pinned US. Traitor. Cygnus Strikeforce has the edge on 3rd Planet at the moment. Mike Fortune is convinced that Tough Guy is to blame so by facing US. Traitor alone things will be different. Fortune has zero tolerance for Traitor’s waving of the Cygnus flag. Storming straight in to rip it up. Before Traitor can even react Fortune shouts “now get your laughing gear round this” and punches him in the mouth. It was the sort of blow that can knock teeth out. Traitor gets a grilling from Mangus who orders that he pull himself together and fight like a true Cygnusian. Traitor responds and is able to dominate for quite a while. However it all changes after a pin attempt following TURNCOAT FLYER. Krakan makes a significant interference that allows Fortune to attack Traitor from behind. The blow to the back of the head rendered Traitor badly hurt and it was only a matter of time. Mangus bought Traitor some extra recovery after he was subjected to THE HANGMAN but it didn’t elicit much in the way of a comeback. Fortune stayed on offence and soon got the pin via a 6:00 suplex. It’s a win that gives the Hitmen a little bit if traction in this 3 way feud.

The Soulwatcher beats Draconian Sheik by DQ. I love it when spontaneous feuds pop up just like this one. So far the Soulwatcher is more than holding his own against Drac. However maybe after tonight he’ll want to consider getting out of this feud for his own safety. He may of won but he got pretty carved up again by Drac’s infamous sharp object. Then also took a violent attack from the Terrorists.

GWFC REPORT (THE END 2110 CARDS 1137 – 1140)

Champions

* GWFC Heavyweight Champ: Vacant (Top Contender: n/a)
* GWFC Tag Champs: Twin Blood (Top Contenders: Cygnus Strikeforce/Animen Invasion)
* GWFC Centra Champ: Code Enforcer Manslaughter (Top Contender: Painmaster)
* GWFC Ladies Champ: Sniper (Top Contender: Serpentine)

Latest News:

Huge news as Mandrill hatches a plan to severely injure Genocide. Knowing he couldn’t pin him this was the next best thing. As per GWFC rules if a champion cannot defend their belt once in one calendar month then the title must be vacated. Even injury is not a valid excuse. Doctors are refusing to sign off Genocide to wrestle with the head and chest injuries sustained and insist on a recuperation period of one month. Genocide needed some calming down after learning of this. There is nothing more that can be done. So there it is. The belt is up for grabs. Read further down on how Commissioner Morpheus plans to fill the vacancy. There was uproar when Morpheus then announced there would be no suspension for Mandrill. He cited Genocide as being equally responsible for what happened. Stating that he could easily of suspended Genocide, Sentry, Corporal Aegis and the SWAT Team too. However he saw no value in depriving the crowds of so many GWFC stars. Always looking for opportune moments to stir things up Mandrill breaks silence after the attack to suggest Aegis purposely allowed Genocide to get injured “took your time getting to the ring. You wanted us to injure Genocide so you can get your dirty hands on that belt”.

Corporal Aegis has stepped down from his role as leader of the military. It’s a logistical nightmare trying to do this and wrestle full time. Aegis announces “at the moment I am wearing a lot of hats and I can control Centra’s biggest threat, who are the Colonizers, better in the ring. Rest assured if a hostile threat ever emerges that requires the might of the military I will return to my role in a heartbeat”. Understandably many Centran people are nervous about this. The rumours about the Ravager race persist and many fear them more than they do the Colonizers.

Scientists are picking up some strange seismic activity on Antilia. Their advice to the GWFC is to steer clear of the place for the foreseeable future. Commissioner Morpheus has heeded the advise and cancelled shows from taking place there. So the GWFC roadshow is now currently confined to 3 venues. Little tidbit here for the coming of something big.

Good to see Nora Pelf triggering a friendship with Taechon. The spoilt rich girl antics that had threatened to surface again early in the year have faded away. Taechon is understandably wary having been very much alone for so long. Nora suggests they could team together to face the Hellions. Could be the start of a beautiful friendship.

Dreadnaught continues to cause concern. He is obsessed with a controversial new high energy drink called TURBO that he’s purchased by the crate on the black market. It has been linked with several deaths among sports stars in Centra within the last 18 months and is considered risky. Much like the Transevolver it seems the risks far outweigh the benefits. Dreadnaught won’t listen to medical advice and will do anything to keep going inside the ring. Obviously certain wrestlers won’t touch Dreadnaught with a barge pole as they don’t want to be the ones that could be associated with his death in the ring. It could very well happen. So Dreadnaught really has to take any match he can get these days.

Sir Ender is still delusional. He thinks all the brutal treatment he is receiving from the Gladiators is part of a big test that will ultimately see him ascend to their team. The batterings being kind of a ‘no pain no gain’ thing. He went so far as to whisper “thank you” to Vengeance having been put on a stretcher by him. Perhaps his suffering will now be at an end. The Gladiators may have finally tired of toying with him as there is only one more match booked against him in the near future. A very dangerous one as it’s against Mayhem who is fresh off destroying Code Enforcer Euritar. If Mayhem can do that to Euritar then what chance does Sir Ender have?

Bloodline’s stock is rising after a brilliant victory on Antilia over Pegasus. Despite taking incredible punishment and even an intrusion from the Code Enforcers he pulled it out the bag. Will Thantos now let him off the leash to pursue the Heavyweight belt or is he still seen as too early in his development cycle and a better fit for the Centra belt? Only time will tell but the hand of Thantos might just get forced if Terminus continues to misfire. He lost again on the last card to Skinhead in a Circinus Cell match. Terminus has been given a big chance to prove his worth to Thantos though. His feud with Paragon gets massive exposure next month. They will face each other 4 times culminating in a big cage match at the end. He will be handicapped though as his fall through the top of cage left him with a moderate injury. Ironically Paragon is in a similar boat to Terminus with Skinhead coming out of nowhere to threaten him as the favoured guy on the Rocket Men. Although Johnny Rocket spins the line of “I have no favourites apart from my lovely Nora, my team members are like children to me and they all get equal billing”.

Lance At-Las has requested a temporary leave of absence from the FDF. It’s so he can indulge his first love which is exploring. This new place of Centra offers too much temptation. Lance says “I will return to duty soon. I just don’t want to miss the opportunity to see new things. Who knows how long we will be here. We could be gone tomorrow. Although no matter what I see I am confident nothing can beat a good old Martian sunset”.

Main matches booked for the next big show which is THE MEGA SHOW. It’s proper souped up with loads of special matches as expected. Here’s some of what’s planned … As we all know the Heavyweight belt is held up. Commissioner Morpheus plans to address this in the main event. As we all know he is keen to keep title matches between heroes and villains so chooses the challengers very carefully. He’s worried about the belt falling into the wrong hands. After much deliberation he decides to take what he believes are the 10 best wrestlers currently in the fed and put them into a Battle Royal (5 heroes and 5 villains). Morpheus stated “whilst rankings are a big factor I am also taking into account guys with big personalities as nobody wants a boring champion. Also guys who have already signed matches for the event will be ineligible. They must honour their matches. It’s bad luck for some of them”. So with all that said here are the names trotted out Corporal Aegis, Mandrill, Pegasus, Thunder, Vengeance, Skinhead, Bloodline, Archon, Blazing Skull and Max Shield. Will the two Gladiators put their rivalry to one side and work together? The ROC also has two guys involved which seems fair considering they had the title before all this drama … With the Wolf-Anarchy feud back in full flow it’s no surprise they will meet. Inside the Torture Chamber no less. The brutality of such a match means it doesn’t happen often. Makes it pretty special when it does. Am not 100% but I think it’ll be the first time Centra fans have seen such a match … A huge 3 Way Battlezone match pitting the Terrorists, Fighting Titans and Hitmen against each other. That will be huge and if the Titans triumph will really put the icing on what has been a very strong year for the whole team … As mentioned further up Nora Pelf and Taechon have befriended each other. Their friendship will be put to the test as they team up to face the Hellions. Hopefully they can cause an upset but if the Hellions can beat a superstar team like Amazonia and Supernova at GALACTICON there isn’t much hope. You never know though … Also mentioned previously Paragon and Terminus meet in a cage match with both desperately trying to show their respective managers they are still the number one guys on each team. Naturally both are pretty ticked off that this was signed literally hours before the big announcement of Morpheus meaning they miss out on the chance to compete in the Battle Royal main event. I am sure the winner of this match will be given a high consideration when deciding who will be the first challenger to the new champion. Unfortunately the odds will be stacked against Terminus as he picked up an injury shortly after signing this match … Hold onto your hats as the Theatre of Pain-Clones feud is thrust back onto your screens due to fan demand. Best give up trying to work this lot out as it will frazzle your brain. Just sit back and enjoy the show. The fans seem to have a soft spot for Theatre of Pain so will probably be banging the drum for them. Regular match rules at the moment but this is just crying out for a special match garnish so that could well be added … For the early birds among the crowd there will be a couple of dark matches which will give some of the lesser lights in the fed a chance to perform. Let’s hope they suitably warm the crowd and don’t prove to be mood killers.


INJURED – Code Enforcer Euritar (2), Genocide (4), Terminus (4); SUSPENDED – none

WRESTLER OF THE MONTH:

BLOODLINE - He’s put himself on the map with that win against Pegasus. Not only a major win but also a classic encounter. Possibly the best we’ve seen since wrestling came to this dimension. Now by virtue of a bit of luck he has a chance to go a step further and win the Heavyweight belt as he was announced to be part of the Battle Royal to fill the vacancy. Bloodline believes he has the experience to be the champion and brags “Ready? I was born ready”.

TAG TEAM OF THE MONTH:

ANIMEN INVASION - Had to give it to someone other than Twin Blood. This doesn’t mean Animen Invasion are suddenly world beaters. They are still pretty hopeless. However they are upsetting the apple cart and causing many teams embarrassment. The Gladiators, Desolation Factor and Transformer have all struggled against them. Happened again this month as they posted a shock win over Transformer which was very newsworthy.

CARD 1141 – LAVA PITS OF PRIMUS:

Grovel overcomes Dreadnaught in a Lava Pit match. Dreadnaught must be mad to put his fragile body through a match like this. Just continues to take what he can get wherever he can get it. No way Grovel was going to refuse as it doesn’t understand the risks. Plus its manager, Krakan, would secretly love to be linked with the demise of Dreadnaught. Of course Dreadnaught lusts for a more profile opponent but at least it’s a main event spot being on last. Something that is a distant memory for Dreadnaught. Although technically Paragon-Terminus was the main match. Due to logistics Lava Pit matches always happen last. Just don’t tell Dreadnaught that. He tried his best to get something out of this. Resisting early uncoordinated attacks from Grovel to get some momentum. However a rock get thrown in and struck Dreadnaught between the eyes. Grovel then grabs him with a Throat Driver straight into some hot ashes. Either move could easily of killed Dreadnaught. Mercifully he is okay. He recovers after about 30 seconds. All too late Grovel was almost out the pit and took some assistance from its fellow primitive helping to pull it out.

Paragon punishes Terminus. The four match series begins and Terminus starts it in pretty bad shape. He was injured badly in the Circinus Cell loss to Skinhead. Plus he was part of the earlier lottery attack on Bloodline. Thantos was not letting him off the hook and insisted he wrestles on to “prove you are worth still pushing as my top guy”. His opponent Paragon has some proving of his own to do. Having been pursued for so long by Johnny Rocket only to find himself quickly out of favour on the Rocket Men due to Skinhead gaining incredible momentum. Maybe Johnny is not letting on that he’s punishing Paragon for snubbing him a few years ago. He might change his opinion after this as Paragon is totally dominant. Okay Terminus is handicapped a little but Paragon would beat more or less anybody in this mood. He laid siege to Terminus. The only criticism is the time it took. Terminus had 6 tokens on him before Paragon was finally able to get non pinned. A big boot off the ropes almost took Terminus’s head off. Paragon stood over him at the end and arrogantly taunted “same again next week?” Suspect he’s right.

Tortured Soul overcomes Blade in a seesaw battle. Let’s hope Blade doesn’t get tired of facing Tortured Soul. It’s a match that’s happened a lot this year as they’ve clashed many times at dark shows. Blade should win but that doesn’t always happen! Lorelei nervously watches. She’s pretty tired after a year of worrying for her son as well as dealing with Archon’s regular disapproval of her actions. At least it’s gone a bit quieter on the Archon front. It probably stifles her involvement here. She just watched in horror as Blade suffered a loss. He’d done well to survive the vile ROTTING CLAW a couple of times and comeback. Then looks poised to win after hitting BLADE OF RETRIBUTION only for Maleph to enter and trying to batter him with his wings. As the ref pushed it back Tortured Soul rose like the undead and smashed Blade with a head butt to the back of his skull. Completely turned the tide and Tortured Soul went on to win after a Tortured Tombstone Piledriver. It didn’t stop there as Tortured Soul threatened to continue the suffering. At this point Lorelei finally woke up. She found a metal pipe under the ring and like a deranged women she whacked Tortured Soul and Maleph until they backed off. It took quite a few hits on Tortured Soul for any pain to register. Lorelei then shouted on the mic a message clearly meant for Archon “don’t judge me, I am just a protective mother”.

Titan Attack blew away Transformer. If Transformer can’t beat Animen Invasion then they have little hope against the hot Titans. However Doomsayer remains blinded by their ability and believes they are far better and monstrous than they really are. Looking the part doesn’t necessarily mean anything. Lord Nexus takes the match very seriously and is putting his team through its paces before the announcements. He is well aware of how fickle wrestling is and if they lose a couple then they’ll be out of the mix when Twin Blood does eventually drop the titles. The wrestling media thinks he should make a formal demand of the Commissioner to award a title shot due to their incredible record. However Lord Nexus still refuses to rock the boat. Perhaps he is too respectful to a fault. Anyway his team did him proud again. Right on the pace from the get to. Monad never got out the ring as the Titans exchanged quick paced tags to keep him off balance. Scion Nexus then used THE RISE AND FALL to secure a pretty easy win.

Wraith easily beats the Soulwatcher. The popular Soulwatcher grants a rare pre match interview where he defends his apparent lack of passion and quiet demeanour “passion comes in different shapes and sizes, I just keep it inside”. He seems to of survived his feud with Draconian Sheik and is now moving on. No clear winner in that one. Soulwatcher had 2 DQ wins but lost one by pin where plenty of blood was split. Now to face a scummy Colonizer in the shape of Wraith. That put even more fans behind him. Sadly he wasn’t able to give them what they hoped for. Wraith is a step up from Draconian Sheik. Even allowing for his patchy results in the past few months. He rattled the Soulwatcher very early with a Now You See It Clothesline which took a lasting toll. Wraith knew victory was at hand and when he used PHANTOM JACKHAMMER it was all over after just a few short minutes.

Bloodline beats Meteor. For something that was supposed to be an easy work out ahead of the big battle royal at the end of the month this was a bit of a nightmare for Bloodline. First he found it annoying that Meteor had avoided BLOODLINE’S BIG BANG and produced a few kick outs on some of his big moves. Then he was subjected to a random lottery attack after he finally got it won via CETUS MASTERLOCK. Splatter and Vyper storm the ring and tag Thantos along the way. Bloodline gets backed into a corner by their threatening advances. Terminus, who was on later, saw this as a chance to win favour with Thantos. Despite his injuries he comes to the aid of Bloodline before he was set upon. Meteor was smart and got out of the way as a brawl began. One which Lethal Lottery got the better of. They managed to snare both Bloodline and Terminus in the ropes. Then Vyper draped a huge boa constrictor all over them. They got lucky that Splatter didn’t start smashing them with Arsenal as that would have caused serious injuries. Although I’m sure they didn’t feel lucky.

CARD 1142 – CENTRA PALLADIUM:

Centra champ, Code Enforcer Manslaughter, swats away the challenge of Painmaster. Despite attempts by Mandrill to diminish and alienate the role of Painmaster he has let his wrestling do the talking and earned this title shot. It’s a belt he’s flirted with before having held it in its Interplanetary form multiple times. If he wins it and negotiates one successful defence then he will become the most frequent holder of this belt of all time with 4 runs to surpass the likes of Matador of M83, Pulsar and Enigma. Trouble is Manslaughter is looking almost unbeatable. He’s such an imposing figure and with all the big guns mostly concerned with the Heavyweight belt it’s hard to see anyone beating him anytime soon. However there is always the Sentry factor. He could and would play a crucial role. Manslaughter was relentless in the first half of the match. Pounding Painmaster and adding tokens. After an Enforcer DDT he went for a cover. Sentry took aim and blasted Manslaughter. The temporary paralysis invoked gave Painmaster time to recover and get the huge frame of Manslaughter into THE TORTURE RACK. A worrying time but Manslaughter refused to give in and eventually pulled forward powerfully to break the hold. After Sentry’s intrusion all bets were off with Commando Sam. He was primed to do what it took to stop the belt switch changing hands. However he didn’t need to do anything as Manslaughter surged back. Another big wave of offence that included Sentry being knocked off the apron with a clothesline ended with HEADS WILL ROLL. The glorious reign of Manslaughter continues! Painmaster’s attempts to become Mandrill’s right hand man again may now of fully ended.

Ladies champ, Sniper, is outstanding again to beat Serpentine by count-out. Fans have started petitioning for Sniper to become wrestler of the year. Plenty of banners being displayed. Could she go through the whole year holding the belt? It would make it difficult not to give her the award if she does that. However this match posed a real danger. The Hellions often follow each other around and this was no exception. Hunger stalking the outside and the referee doing nothing to send her away despite Sniper’s protestations. It didn’t make any difference though. You need more than an ally to overcome Sniper it seems. Sniper made all the running and when Hunger did interfere after TARGET PRACTICE allowing Serpentine to attack from behind it only briefly derailed her. Sniper just got back on the horse and was quickly back to L3O. Serpentine tried to slither out of the ring only for Sniper to come out from the ring apron with a crossbody. Got two birds with one stone as Hunger was felled too. Then Sniper was quick to return to the ring and wait it out. Serpentine couldn’t recover in time and was counted-out.

Terminus defies his ailments to beat Paragon by DQ. Match number two arrives with Paragon firmly in the driving seat after last weeks dominant win. Terminus winces after each step towards the ring. Injuries still a problem for him and surely standing no chance unless he can lean on the assistance of Thantos. However it seemed he was overplaying the extent to make Paragon think it would be easy. Paragon was certainly surprised by the start Terminus made and found himself scrambling to kick out following HAMMERLOCK SLAM after just a few moves. This match was going to be way closer than the last. Early on came a dramatic ref bump after Paragon clumsily collided. In the 10 moves he was out Paragon twice tried and failed to use FINAL OVERTURE and then Terminus used his finisher twice more. Of course no ref to count any potential pin. When the ref came around he was angry and wanted to issue a DQ but he couldn’t remember who was responsible so had to let it continue. After this it was obvious the slightest transgression would be punished. So when an out of ring brawl broke out it was the opportunity he’d been looking for. Paragon seemed to be the instigator so he was the one disqualified much to the horror of Johnny Rocket. Against the odds Terminus has levelled the match series and also shown Thantos he has plenty of backbone.

Cygnus Strikeforce brush aside Animen Invasion. Remarkable that Animen Invasion are so close to clinching a title shot but results don’t lie. They could have had a much tougher match to earn it than Cygnus Strikeforce. It would still be a massive surprise if they were to negotiate this last hurdle. Son of Ram looks suitably pumped with steam coming out of his nostrils. Almost too eager as he blindly charges at US. Traitor as soon as the bell rings and almost fell out the ring. It set the tone as Animen Invasion were put in their place. Antak got into a heap of bother and was the one pinned after US. Traitor used TURNCOAT FLYER. So Cygnus Strikeforce now move onto challenge Twin Blood for the belts. They’ve tried and failed before. Will have to much better this time to stand a chance.

Thunder overcomes Skinhead. Two of the combatants at the forthcoming battle royal get it on. Expected to be a good match. Skinhead riding high in the fed and Thunder finally showing signs of realising his potential if his recent win over Rising Sun is anything to go by. Johnny Rocket looked a little tense. Worried that the Gladiators might use this as an opportunity to injure a rival ahead of that battle royal. Johnny has never shied away from helping his team out despite his puny size but he’d stand little chance against Brute if things got ugly. It’s a really fast paced match. Thunder makes an explosive start. Skinhead just about hanging in there. When Skinhead is felled by a perfect cross body block off the top rope Johnny takes his life to in his own hands by entering the ring. It provides the perfect distraction. Skinhead was groggy but had awareness to slip on his knuckles. Thunder took a hefty blow from them as he went back to the action after Johnny’s disturbance. Then a few moves later took it again via BRASS NUCKS. Brute’s turn to interfere now as pounds the apron with such ferocity everyone stopped in their tracks. Everyone apart from Thunder who shook off the blows he had taken to grab back the initiative. When he used THE TEMPEST again in the match Johnny wisely stayed back. He’d already pushed his luck plenty enough. Skinhead was unable to respond to the cover that followed.

Ruin beats Mayhem by DQ. Mayhem’s usefulness to the Gladiators is increasing. He has sidelined Euritar and now has the chance to do the same to Ruin. Malice has THE MEGA SHOW meeting on his mind when he gives Mayhem a friendly warning “don’t mess him up too much”. Brave of the youngster and am sure words that just went in one ear and out the other. It becomes an impressive transition from tag to singles by Ruin as he comes close to pinning Mayhem a couple of times. The closest of which was after Mayhem had missed LEAP OF DOOM and Ruin adapted RACKED AND RUINED straight after. Ultimately Mayhem’s penchant for violence gets the better of him. He took to the outside and started swinging his chain around dangerously which got him disqualified.

CARD 1143 – CENTRA PALLADIUM:

TRISIS SHOWCASE featuring Pegasus … Ahead of THE MEGA SHOW Trisis is on hosting duties. She still isn’t brave enough to welcome on some of the undesirable elements. So it’s the turn of the legendary Pegasus. Let’s fast forward towards the end of interview. Of course Trisis is very pro the ROC and wonders if Pegasus is ready to step aside and allow other younger guys on the hero side pursue the Heavyweight belt. Pegasus turns on the charm and insists he is still in his prime “that’s an annoying question. It’s a good job you’re hot. There is no way I am stepping aside for anyone. I know you must be wishing Corporal Aegis can become the next champion. However he has to earn the right just like I did. With over 15 years experience of this federation it is hard for me to accept any new kids on the block. I want to be the top guy for as long as possible and will be competing harder than anyone in the battle royal to win the belt again. If I have to toss your beloved Aegis over the top rope then so be it. The Centra fans will love me just like the ones in Dimension K. Back there I was known as the hero of heroes”. Fan response is mixed. There is cheering and booing in equal measure. Trisis seems slightly taken in and smiles “you are quite the specimen and if one of the ROC members cannot be champion then I hope it’s you. The main thing is that the Colonizers or Gladiators do not triumph. I hope you and the ROC will work together to ensure that doesn’t happen. Anyway I wish you good luck”. Pegasus likes Trisis and gives her a wink before starting to depart. His exit path is cut off by Bloodline emerging from the shadows. Suddenly things look very interesting. Trisis scrambles for her mic to pick up on what is being said. Bloodline is fed up with what he was hearing and came out to remind Pegasus about how he beat him last month. Starts taunting Pegasus about being past his prime and that the next generation has already replaced him. Pegasus calmly responds “I find your intrusion very rude and disrespectful. No wonder your family has disowned you. I sense you want another match. If I wasn’t so pressed for time I’d frogmarch you to the ring right now. Ideally I’d like to take you on in a Ruins of Antilia match and show how lucky you was last time but seeing as that’s off limits how about we go to Primus at the first opportunity and get in one of those lava pits? I can then teach you some manners. I’ll probably be a heavyweight champion by that time so you can get a good look at the belt”. Bloodline said nothing. He just slowly backed away whilst never averting his stare. The intensity in his eyes suggested the match would happen. Trisis was pretty pleased with this scoop. She was worried her shows were getting a little dull with the lack of incidents.

Paragon crushed Terminus. Halfway through and neither holds an advantage. It’s one win apiece. I suppose if it ends even then whoever wins the big one at THE MEGA SHOW can claim victory in the series. Terminus was moving more freely but there’s still a visible limp. Paragon is not falling for that again and mouths to Johnny Rocket “he’s faking it”. After stumbling in the last match Paragon really meant business. The handbrake well and truly off as he piled into Terminus and hit power move after power move. It was still a surprise though when he won so easily. The first pin attempt of the match following a Paragon Power Bomb was successful after a snake eyes roll. Of course that also meant doubles and set the scene for an after match incident. Paragon was arrogantly celebrating. Thantos shouts at Terminus to get up and give him something to think about ahead of their final match next week. Thantos makes sure Johnny Rocket is incapacitated whilst Terminus lets Paragon have it with a folded chair that was slid into the ring for him. Paragon staggered forward but didn’t go down. So Terminus grabs him with HAMMERLOCK SLAM and does it over and over. He doesn’t stop until he is sure that damage has been done. Eventually Thantos releases Johnny Rocket from the full nelson he was being held back in. Johnny runs in and strikes Terminus with weak blows that barely register. It looks like Johnny might now get the same treatment. Fortunately for him Enigma dives into the middle of the ring to floor Terminus having been alerted to what was happening. Terminus manages to scramble out the ring, looks over at the injured Paragon and shouts “now we’re even and can finally have a fair fight”. Indeed they will as this causes a 2 card injury which is considered minor so both their stats will get modified in the same way.

Prodigy wins a thrilling match against Enigma. A throwback to the good old days when they used to contest dazzling matches for the now retired Cruiserweight belts (both GWF and CPC). These days it’s more about the Centra belt. Something Enigma has already held. Above all that it’s very critical to the ongoing feud between the Rocket Men and Team CPC. Both managers are ready and present for this and the following match (Terminus-Paragon). We were just keeping our fingers crossed that they don’t mess this up. With both guys ability and acrobatic styles it was guaranteed to be a feast for the eyes if left undisturbed. Unfortunately Thantos cannot help himself and was trying to attack Enigma early on. Luckily the ref takes no nonsense. It then became the dazzling contest we all hoped for. The finish was just typical as Enigma missed ENIGMA SUICIDA doing great damage to himself. Prodigy pounced on the error with THE PERFECT SINGLES FINISHER twice to steal the win. When Thantos is later criticised for his interfering attempts he says of it “it’s my duty as a manager to assist, wrestling is a results business”.

Wraith over Warfare by DQ. After a torrid start to wrestling the SWAT Team is improving greatly. Especially Warfare who is using his size and power to good effect. He was more than equal to Overkill in his last match. This has not gone unnoticed by Corporal Aegis who know wants him to try out a singles match. The fact it’s against an arch enemy shows how much faith Aegis has. Overall Warfare did quite well. If there is a criticism it was he placed too much emphasis on his power here even when it wasn’t working as well as usual. Wraith was able to stand up to him on that front. Sadly it didn’t get a decent outcome. Warfare got too close to Sentry and ended slamming him into concrete. He just assumed Sentry would do something dastardly so got in there first. The ref deemed this needless violence as Sentry hadn’t done anything and rules the DQ.

Ninja Assassins barely tested by Third Planet. Ninja Assassins are like lost souls on Centra. They didn’t wrestle at all last month and before that bombed out of ONLY THE BEST in the first round. Considering all their past success the blame must be with Reynard B. Guile’s management style. He isn’t even at ringside with them for this one. So that scuppers any chance of using their switch routine. Strangely they were kind of playing heroes for this one as they were up against Third Planet. Kind of a meaningless match overall. However with all sorts of rumours flying around that Tough Guy is on borrowed time in the Hitmen there was the potential to advance that storyline. Perhaps even being the match they end up turning on each other. There was plenty ammunition for that to happen as Tough Guy surrendered their early offence after being tagged in. He then got felled by an innocuous inside sweep by Daeman. Hit the back of his head hard and got pinned. Mike Fortune entered the ring after this and menacingly approached his partner. There was no internal discontent between Third Planet in the end though as Fortune helped him up. In fact was being over the top chummy and making sure he was okay. Tough Guy better beware. Sometimes your enemies don’t come at you with weapons. Intentions often disguised with handshakes and hugs. For the Ninja Assassins it begged the question. Are they just better off without B. Guile?

Code Enforcers over Disorder X by DQ decision. Can Disorder X work together after what happened last time? They need to be at their very best to cope with the Code Enforcers. Euritar would be a handful as he is now injury free and desperate to bounce back from his disastrous match with Mayhem. Is interesting that the Code Enforcers still wrestle so many tag matches in addition to singles. Especially when you consider Manslaughter is the current Centra champ. However it fits Commando Sam’s ethos that all his troops should be able to wage war on all fronts. Sam was surprised not to see Thantos opposing him. Especially as Thantos has other wrestlers in action later. Word is that Thantos was so disgusted by the behaviour of Disorder X last time that he will not provide them with his managerial ringside presence until they prove they can work together. They might just of done enough to provide that proof despite losing by DQ. More than matched the Code Enforcers. They even risked Total Disorder again and got it right. Possibly Grunge then got their card marked when he used GUITAR SHOT. Euritar saved Manslaughter after he took that hit. Disorder X were walking a DQ tightrope after that and when Mace showed a lack of stealth in his using a metal rod he’d found on the floor outside the ring that decision came. Despite the loss it was much better from Disorder X. Most people thought they were going to get blown away tonight.

Mayhem beat Sir Ender after toying with him for a few minutes. Sir Ender has now been chewed up and spat out by every Gladiatior apart from Overkill. Before this match he summoned up the courage to ask Brute if he was now able to join them. A real loss of faculties. Brute laughed and said “not until you pin one of us in the ring”. Maybe its dawned on Sir Ender that this will never happen as he tried to make a mad dash from the Centra Palladium on his horse at the last minute. He also overheard Mayhem saying that the plan was to smash his skull with his chain. Unfortunately he didn’t get very far as Overkill had been lurking in the shadows at the back of the runway. He stepped across the horse and spooked it throwing Sir Ender off. He was then dragged by Overkill back to the ring and fed to Mayhem. No surprise that Mayhem won easily. He played around with Sir Ender for a few minutes before DANGER ZONE ended it. Although there were a couple of moments that nearly embarrassed him. One was a turnbuckle charge that got missed and led to Mayhem flying out of the ring. The other was nearly to make the same mistake as Vengeance and get himself disqualified. When Mayhem was smashing Sir Ender’s head into the ring apron over and over you could see the ref contemplating it. In the end he let it go after Mayhem uncharacteristically heeded his warning.
