Latest News:
 
The emergence of Murdok is a huge talking point and has prompted for Phantast to speak out “everyone thinks I am not to be trusted but now people are trying to sully my name by associating me with Murdok it’s time to speak out. I stand on the side of good against evil. If the Ramparts would have me then I would be proud to manage them this year”. Mandrill has already tried to ally himself with Murdok by convincing him the Ravagers are the true intruders and responsible for the Plague. Murdok believes him and has declared war on the ROC. Some are calling it a holy war. However Murdok is wary of letting Mandrill get too close to him. He was the leader of ancient civilisation and will answer to nobody.

Unfortunately that event overshadowed the incredible moment of Rising Sun beating Mandrill for the Heavyweight belt. At the time that brought a lot of relief to the masses as Mandrill’s political power seems intrinsically linked to his success in the GWFC. Rising Sun becomes one of a rare breed of wrestlers to of held all the titles at one time or another. Although his Centra/Interplanetary reign is often overlooked for not managing at least one successful defence. In an emotional scene the other Titans minus Meteor joined him in the ring to celebrate the moment. Even Dragonmaster left the commentary booth to hug his old pal. Rising Sun already knows who will be first in line to challenge him as Thunder has been named as the top contender.
 
Commando Sam lobbies the GWF to start booking Hardcore Titan Death matches. The match type was used just once in the entirety of 2110. He’ll get his wish on SUPER SUNDAY SHOWDOWN as the Code Enforcer and Euritar meet one-on-one for the first time.

Sticking with Sam as he is also walking around embarrassed after Reynard B. Guile gave him a black eye during the Ninja Assassins-Desolation Factor match. B. Guile didn’t even realise what he’d done at the time. Sam is going off the deep end over the littlest things. He literally exploded during an interview when asked about the shiner and why he appeared to be wearing make up to try and conceal its severity.
 
Mace chastises Grunge for Disorder X failing to beat Twin Blood for the tag belts. He then no showed the 6 man tag match he was booked on at ANTILIA ARMAGEDDON and has now challenged Grunge to a Falls County Anywhere match to blow off steam. Thantos has no problem with it as “sometimes internal problems are best dealt with a good old fashioned ruck”.
 
Anaxis returns to Team CPC after a month of serving Nora Pelf. She speaks of a terrible ordeal and claims she was abused by the entire team. Johnny Rocket says “that’s bullsh*t, we treated her with nothing but respect. In fact we gave her so much time off as it was just a gimmick for the match. We didn’t really expect her to serve us”.

Outside all the drama surrounding the ROC and what to make of Murdok they have another ambition. Corporal Aegis declares that he would like one of the team to win and wear the Centra belt. Some citizens of Centra hold this belt in higher esteem than the Heavyweight belt because it bears the name of their great civilisation. Mandrill has cottoned onto this and also declared an ambition for his team to win the belt too and that it will be renamed to the Colonizer belt. He will get that opportunity quicker than the ROC as Painmaster’s incredible form has seen him move into top contender spot. As we know Mayhem is the sitting champ but unlike other villain teams Mandrill has no problem with ruffling the feathers of the Gladiators.

Just when you think a team or collection of individuals couldn’t go down in your estimations anymore the Brymstonians take a team bonding trip to Primus. Setting fires randomly and beating up any primitives that are unlucky enough to cross their path. Worryingly Wolf seems to be the ringleader and enjoying himself greatly. If news of his behaviour ever reached Dimension K there would be shock. We can only hope he works this out of his system before they return. That’s if they ever do. Sticking with Wolf and despite losing the first ever Nightmare Matrix match he loved the mind tricks it played it on him and is vowing to wrestle as many of these matches as he can in the coming months. During the match he thought he was wrestling a Tyrannosaurus Rex at one point and was slamming it into the mat. It was in his words “an amazing experience”.

Finally intergender tag matches have begun. A slow start as Cutting Edge won a low key match over Living Dangerously. Maybe one day I’ll give consideration to adding an intergender tag title at some stage. Although I am always wary of flooding the fed with too many titles and partly a reason why I retired things like the Cruiserweight and Heavy Metal titles in the past.
 

INJURED – Terminus (1), Wolf (2);  SUSPENDED – none
 
WRESTLER OF THE MONTH:
 
PAINMASTER - It would be remiss of me not to mention Rising Sun here. That was a hell of an achievement to beat Mandrill for the belt. However Painmaster’s rise to the upper echelons has been nothing short of incredible. He looked like he might be cast off by the Colonizers last year but dramatic cage victories over Aegis and Max Shield mean he is the hottest wrestler around and back in the inner circle. Now he is in with a chance of delivering Mandrill the Centra belt as he steps forward to challenge Mayhem.
 
TAG TEAM OF THE MONTH:
 
TRANSFORMER - This monstrous team continues to terrorise and fall flat in equal measure. More of the same this month as they recover to tear apart the Ravagers. They now move onto an unlikely shot at the gold held by the seemingly unbeatable Twin Blood. It’s the kind of match they might cause an upset in. Just don’t expect them to hold onto the belts for very long if they do pull it off.

CARD 1161 – LAVA PITS OF PRIMUS:
 
Blazing Skull defeated Buck Steele in a Lava Pit match. The natives are restless. Maybe some of them recognise Blazing Skull as the Brymstonians recently paid an unscheduled visit to Primus just so they could set random things alight. Genocide serves to irritate them further. In keeping with his unpredictable behaviour he ignores the pit containing Blazing Skull and runs at the primitives. A horde of them swarms all over him. Then he bursts out knocking them in different directions like tenpins before jumping down into the pit. One of the primitives falls in with him. Even the evil Blazing Skull is taken aback as it is thrown forcefully into a wall by Genocide and knocked out. The match carries on around its lifeless body amid deafening grunts from more primitives. They were now circling almost the entire pit. Suddenly a dramatic thing happens as Genocide shrinks in size and reverts to Buck Steele. That’s never happened before. Blazing immediately grows in confidence as soon as that happens. Buck desperately tries to bash himself into side of the pit to trigger a change back. Nothing doing though. He would have to fight as Buck. Did pretty well as it goes and had a couple of escape attempts only to either slip or find the path too blocked. The main initiative was handed back to Blazing as a result of one of these failed escapes. Buck was thrown back and fell awkwardly. It then came down to who had the better cage rating at that time as to who recovers first. Of course that was Blazing and he set about really trying to hurt Buck to give himself the best chance of getting out the pit by taking his time. He chooses to suplex Buck right into the side. A ferocious impact indeed. It allowed Blazing all the time needed as he found a steep path out. Despite slipping a couple of times he was able to clamber out for a fortunate win purely due to the fact he’d avoided facing Genocide. Back inside the pit Buck started to twitch. Before he could be rescued his body morphs back into Genocide and he angrily gets to his feet. He leaves the pit under his own steam. Ignores the protected walkway for the wrestlers and punches right through the primitives.
 
Mad Jester Clone upsets Rising Sun in a non-title match. Strange match for Rising Sun to be involved in although it was signed before he became the Heavyweight champion. The Titans have had a bit of a rivalry with the Clones in the early part of this year. Anyway Rising wants to be a fighting champion and take on all challenges. He looks supremely confident and demonstrates brilliant hand to eye co-ordination by firing out lightening fast chops. No hint of a title winning hangover at first. Then it begun to alarmingly unravel as the original Mad Jester starts interfering. Lord Nexus protests with the ref but refuses to drop down to their level and get involved. You could see Rising Sun looking at him for help after Jagged Edge Standing Kick decks him yet again. Then when Rising was tied in the ropes awaiting A DEAD MAN’S VERSE Lord Nexus still did nothing. The ref missed it entirely as he was trying to deal with the other Mad Jester. All he saw was Rising being pinned and obediently slid in to make the three count. Rising Sun needs to pick himself up fast. His first title defence is imminent and will be against Thunder. It’s no surprise the Gladiators decide to give Rising a little taster of what lies ahead as they pay him a post match visit. Both Thunder, Brute and Spike forcibly backed him into a corner in the locker room area. Nobody interferes with the Gladiator business. Even the bolder types like Desolation Factor who were in the vicinity. Lord Nexus now tries to help Rising Sun only to get stopped by Spike and held in a full nelson. Titan Attack would surely of assisted if they had still been at the venue but they split shortly after their opening match. Thunder and Brute manage to remove the Heavyweight belt from Rising’s possession. It is used as a tool to smash Rising down onto the floor. Thunder then tries it on for size and even takes a selfie. He then utters “looks good” and disrespectfully then tosses it back onto Rising who was still on the floor. Amid total silence the Gladiators then all depart. Someone’s got to stand up to them!
 
Painmaster beats Corporal Aegis again only this time it’s by count-out. Aegis has been itching to get back in the ring with Painmaster ever since CENTRA PERENNIAL. Painmaster says they should wrestle another cage match where he is making a reputation for himself. It doesn’t get booked as one though. Tellingly Rouser is not with Painmaster. Either he took too much of a beating from Tocsin earlier or Mandrill still doesn’t see Painmaster as important enough to afford him a ringside companion. Aegis could be forgiven for being off his game due to worries over the emergence of Murdok. He suffers a really torrid start as he’s put in THE TORTURE RACK twice. Having survived though he improves and comes close to his finisher after Opening Salvo. Painmaster manages to avoid falling victim unwittingly as he falls out the ring. Aegis huffs and puffs in trying to build on that. He then comes off worse in an out of ring brawl as Rouser creeps to ringside and hands Painmaster his sign with which to smash Aegis with. The ref, who won’t cover himself in glory later either, misses what went on. Aegis is stumbling around and falls over just as he was looking like he might get back in the ring. Sadly suffering a count-out loss as a result. Maybe he needs to take Phantast up on his offer to manage the ROC to try and help improve the fortunes of the struggling team. So far this year they’ve suffered countless losses.
 
Desolation Factor over Cygnus Strikeforce by DQ. Starts with Mangus making a big song and dance about the recent machete incidents calling for Commando Sam to be banned. Accuses his old ally, Morpheus, of being soft. Sam defiantly stands his ground. He is still sporting a black eye from last weeks incident with Reynard B. Guile. Mangus warns Sam that if chooses to hang around then he will receive the brand of Cygnus. Always nice to start a match amid such a hostile atmosphere. It does end up going very long either. Desolation Factor threatened to roll over Cygnus Strikeforce until Rack makes a mistake and nearly gets himself pinned after CYGNUS STRIKEFORCE. On then finding himself outside the ring Mangus, who was determined to get involved, comes at him with some Cygnus Brass Knuckles. Trying to knock him out. This triggered an almighty great brawl which took some sorting out. The final verdict of the ref was to disqualify Cygnus Strikeforce.
 
Tocsin crushed Rouser in only 3 moves. Tocsin starting life as a ROC member in low key matches as Corporal Aegis thinks he is rusty. Rouser comes out with yet another sign. This one says ‘Tocsin Stinks’. Quite literally. Tocsin has never cared about his personal hygiene though. In fact his opening move is to throw Rouser into a turnbuckle and try to smother him with the armpit. That immediately knocked the stuffing out of Rouser and just two moves later he was submitting to a Colonizer Claw Grip. What was bonkers about it was that Rouser later broke silence on Spacebook to brag about a successful wrestling debut.
 
Titan Attack defeated Society of Death by DQ. The two Titans continue to alternate between singles and tag matches. Tonight they are back together to deal with the unpredictable Splatter and Mutant. On paper should be pretty easy. However they are not taking anything for granted. Warm up routines going on in the ring with Lord Nexus right up to the last second. Then Society of Death comes out and even after all these years Krakan’s disdain for Lord Nexus is as high as ever. He has blinkers on as is consumed with trying to engage Nexus. Ignoring everything going on in the ring. Missing a golden opportunity for his team to grab a win by failing to distract after Splatter uses MEET ARSENAL on Ursa Major.

CARD 1162 – TERRONAUT TOWERS:
 
On paper some bland bookings but what do I know. This was a cracking a show. At least half the matches 3* and above.
 
Ladies champ, Sniper, barely survives against Hunger as she wins by DQ. Expecting a bog standard match for Sniper as she can do no wrong whenever she steps in the ring. Even against a dangerous opponent like Hunger. This marked her 77th consecutive card as the ladies champion. However it turns out to be the closest she has come to losing the title in as long as anyone can remember. There were early warnings as Sniper came within a whisker of being pinned after being twice nailed with Hunger’s DEMONESS DDT. Dealing with Serpentine too was always going to be a problem. Luckily Sniper was able to gather herself and surged back like the great champion that she is. She then looked the likely winner after an offensive wave that lasted several minutes and included her trusty TARGET PRACTICE move. Hunter herself only just kicked out after one of these. Of course that failure to get the pin almost came back to bite her (excuse the pun). Hunger came on strong again and administered ABDOMINAL HUNGER from which Sniper just about snagged a foot on the ropes at the last millisecond. Hunger was insatiable in her appetite and did it again. Only this time there was no fooling the ref and on inspecting the bite marks on Sniper’s costume reached the conclusion of foul play and disqualified Hunger. A sigh of relief as Sniper was surely not going to be able to muster another kick out after that. The frustrated Hellions threatened to continue with a savage post match beating. That was until Tough Guy came out to help Sniper. For once he could be counted on and cleared the ring. The Hellions stood outside snarling and hissing for a while before giving up the ghost and leaving.
 
Pegasus easily beats the Soulwatcher. Pegasus is mortified he’s got to face this guy again. Last month he signed to face the Soulwatcher just so he could knock someone about. That was far from the case and Pegasus embarrassingly lost by DQ. So he’s now trying to make the Soulwatcher wish he hadn’t won and also pay for delaying Pegasus getting back to the top and into the main event slots. It was much more like it from Pegasus. No showboating at all and he closes out the contest in a mere 3 moves. The poor Soulwatcher didn’t know what hit him and was finished off via PROJECT PEGASUS. Pegasus draws crowd heat as he then spits on the downed Soulwatcher before kicking him out into the floor whilst saying “you don’t deserve to be in the same ring as the Great One”.
 
Ursa Major upsets Prodigy. Much respect for Ursa Major and his little singles push. A guy who has experienced the full gamut of highs and lows in his career but never gives up. Prodigy underestimated him from the start. Too busy gawking at a busty fan to show Ursa Major any respect. He arrogantly compliments her ‘big knockers’ thinking he is being charming. She slaps him and say “I’ll knock you out in a minute!” As Prodigy stands their stunned it gets worse as Ursa Major then sends him flying straight into Thantos with a dropkick. That moment really set the tone for Ursa Major. Although Prodigy recovers to dish out some lethal looking offence it’s not enough to disrupt Ursa Major’s rhythm. A snake eyes roll several minutes in means a 360 off the top rope by Ursa Major brings him an upset victory. Considering how hot Prodigy had been this makes it a big deal. Ursa Major describes it “as the biggest victory of my singles career”.
 
Rack pulverised Daeman. New ways to cheat as the Ninja Assassins are trying to use their switch in a singles setting. After a torrid start Daeman managed to switch and Hydrax entered after hiding under the ring without anyone knowing. It certainly surprised Rack to see who he thought was Daeman coming back with such gusto. Rack managed to get the upper hand again and used RACKED AND RUINED twice only to be foiled by outside interference both times. The second time the Ninjas revealed their hand as it was Daeman who saved Hydrax. Rack dealt with them both though and smashed their heads together before tossing Hydrax. It meant despite the switching Rack started and finished against Daeman as he used his powerful finisher, adapted for singles, again and grabbed the win.
 
Rigel Warriors shock Theatre of Pain. Feud has its roots from a few years ago when Comedy regulary made fun of Meteor’s attempts to be a wrestler. However Meteor is one laughing at the end of this one. Not that he contributed that much as Lance At-Las did most of the heavy lifting. He was in great form dealing with both members of Theatre of Pain. Using MARS MANHANDLER to put Tragedy in trouble. When Comedy tried to gatecrash the pin with a flying elbow Lance simply rolled out the way. It meant Comedy came down on his own partner. The ref then ushered Comedy back to the corner whilst Lance simply covered again and patiently waited for the ref to come back over and make the three count.
 
Grovel and Blade over Unspeakable Horror by DQ. Shame this wasn’t Cutting Edge facing Unspeakable Horror. Being saved for another day. Possibly the next supercard. Nonetheless gripping stuff. Decent spot involved Blazing Skull trying to beat Grovel. He tried DEATH BY FIRE and BURNING TOUCH only to be foiled by Lorelei risking life and limb. Of course the outside influences were always going to play a big part in the match and when Blade later bailed out under heavy bombardment from Anarchy it prompted Maleph to attack and bring a premature end to the bout. Looked like things might escalate for a short period afterwards. Luckily security were on high alert for this particular match and diffused the situation quickly.

CARD 1163 – SUPER SUNDAY SHOWDOWN – CENTRA PALLADIUM:
 
There’s never a lazy Sunday in the GWFC as another exciting card hits the screens.
 
Thunder delivers a rampaging performance to beat Rising Sun and become the new Heavyweight champion. After a forgettable 2010 in and out of the ring the Gladiators are now ominously circling the main belts. Mayhem’s Centra belt pales in significance when compared the Heavyweight and Tag belts. Thunder has had opportunities before to take that step up to greatness only to come up short. This represented his greatest chance yet. Vengeance is no longer getting pushed due to the murder conviction hanging over him and with all due respect to Rising Sun there have been tougher champions to beat. Brute was also providing an intimidating presence and would almost certainly get involved if needed to tip the scales in Thunder’s favour. Unfortunately Rising Sun would get no such assistance from Lord Nexus who remains a firm believer in coaching his guys and not getting physically involved. He’s not as anal about it as someone like Archon but is cut from the same cloth. There was a slight worry about Rising Sun’s confidence having slipped to a non-title loss to the cloned Mad Jester just a couple of weeks ago. That was very much in evidence as Thunder took control from the very start. The intensity of his offence gave Rising very little chance to build anything of his own. Thunder was very quick to counter when this happened. Lord Nexus tried his best to encourage Rising but it had little effect. There was just an air of inevitability about the outcome. Perhaps the main criticism of Rising was his reluctance to leave the ring when he could. A couple of times he probably might have been able to roll outside the ring to get a much needed breather. However the Titan in him refused to take the easy way out. Thunder’s relentless offence culminated in THE TEMPEST and Rising couldn’t kick out in time. Finally Thunder had delivered on all that promise to win the big one. As he paraded round the ring with it to show Aethran dominance he would have been unaware of something happening. For the first time in years I had a chance to roll on Splatter’s original lottery chart. Lady Luck was shining on Thunder though as an even roll meant Brute intercepted. He managed to smash Splatter with the Aethran Casque and sent him running off like a scalded dog. So now the Gladiators have the two singles belts and if the rumouring is correct Malice and Overkill might be next in line for a shot at the tag belts. What a turnaround it’s been in 2111 for them. Hopefully this quick loss of the belt has no lasting impact on Rising Sun and he’ll come again very soon.
 
Tag champs, Twin Blood, withstand a tough challenge from Transformer. A chance for Doomsayer’s monstrous creations to finally make a mark. Their performances have ranged from devastating to terrible. Twin Blood know they need to be careful. They are getting so close to having the longest belt reign in tag history and don’t want to blow it against a team that on paper they should be beating. If they do go onto get the record the sky’s the limit. It’s still some way off but maybe they can even think about trying to beat the longest reign in the history of any belt (unless Sniper gets there first). That honour belongs to the legendary Matador of M83 who managed a stupendous 96 cards as the Interplanetary champion back in the late 2090s. Twin Blood does manage to edge closer to these marks as they negotiate this defence. However it wasn’t without some very hairy moments. Transformer definitely brought one of their better performances. Their best moment coming when Nth Degree smashes Dreggs with TWO HEADS ARE BETTER. Having already sustained some fatigue Dreggs looked extremely vulnerable at this point. That was Johnny Rocket’s cue to get involved. Unlike some of the other hero managers he never has any moral issue on interfering. His loud distraction serves to not only stop Nth Degree going for the pin but also allowed Dreggs to recover and hit Sleeze with a double team move. They chose SEEING DOUBLE and almost got the pin there and then. This was the big turning point in the match as Twin Blood grows in stature and its Dreggs who was one the one who did the business for them. He uses DREGGS OF DEFEAT to get Nth Degree beaten whilst Sleeze covers the pin to prevent Monad or Doomsayer from disturbing it. There was more to it all though as Malice and Overkill march to ringside as soon as it was over. Everyone fears an attack but instead it was to issue a challenge for the belts. Malice was the mouthpiece and said if Twin Blood or Johnny Rocket refuses then they will have start watching their backs 24/7 from now on.
 
Genocide destroyed Anarchy in a Total Anarchy match. Been a while since one of these dangerous matches has been booked. Although it should be a speciality of Anarchy’s his record in them isn’t actually that good. Genocide makes a mockery of treading carefully as he rampages towards the ring. He is getting wilder with each passing card. Tonight he is shaking the ropes so violently they look like they might get ripped clean out the turnbuckle sockets. It took Anarchy hitting with a chair shot to even get Genocide to acknowledge him. Genocide is so hyped up the pain barely registers. The only concern was that he might turn into Buck Steele which cost him in his last match against Buck Steele. Thankfully that doesn’t happen here though and after ripping the chair away he pretty much wipes the floor with Anarchy both inside and outside the ring. Plenty of damage was done in the ring including CORPUS GENOCIDE. That would have probably beaten Anarchy if not for the rules of match decreeing any pin must happen outside. Eventually Genocide thinks rationally and chucks Anarchy over the top rope. First he reverse suplexes Anarchy onto a seat vacated by a frightened fan. Then he drags him back onto the runway. Anarchy stumbles around barely knowing where he is and inevitably steps onto a mine which explodes in dramatic effect. Anarchy falls clumsily to the floor there is even smoke emanating off the bottom of his boots. Genocide rushes over and leaps onto him for the cover and take a popular win.
 
Wolf defeated Maelstrom in a thrilling Nightmare Matrix match. No question of Wolf saving himself for next weeks big match with Ventross. He snarls into the camera whilst being interviewed “I never think about tomorrow, I can’t wait to enter the matrix again”. The matrix had barely been active when the first weird image was conjured up. Maelstrom was imagining that he had a tattoo of the American flag appear on his lower arm and it was driving him crazy. He resorted to trying to gnaw at his own arm. Not that things were much easier on Wolf as he deals with an illusion that all his past enemies were entering the ring to attack him. Was weird to see famous figures of the past such as Bounty Hunter among them. I could go on and on with stuff like this as there were just so many twists and turns. Both had numerous failed attempts with their finishers and the pendulum just swung one way and then the other constantly. When the end finally came Wolf had 6 tokens and Maelstrom had 7. As another disturbing hallucination involving flashing lights manifested itself against Maelstrom Wolf had the chance to try SAVAGE FACE CLAW again. Only a double 6 would save Maelstrom and that didn’t happen. Wolf managed to win his first Nightmare Matrix match. He was physically and emotionally drained after that. Some fans did start cheering him again. It helped that Wolf was facing a villain tonight although that last remaining support is hanging by a thread.
 
Archon dominates Vengeance in a Nightmare Matrix match. Archon handled the terrifying hallucinations this match can go throw up impressively last time against Wolf leading to him bragging about his mental toughness. Could he cope against someone sick as Vengeance who is possibly capable of murder? Surely it would be tough to cast any hallucinations to terrify Vengeance. Anyway the visions cast end up being very quite disturbing. Minor ones like Vengeance trying to speak and nothing but gibberish coming out to a very worrying one of Massacre appearing and actually trying to kill him with an ax. This threat of being beheaded was too much psychological stress even for Vengeance to handle. Archon got off very lightly and takes full advantage. Harnessing his new found aggression to smother Vengeance with all his submission moves and rack up the fatigue tokens fast. He is then able to end Vengeance’s suffering via ELBOW HYPEREXTENSION. Archon is looking very good in these matches and later gives himself the moniker of master of the matrix. Vengeance on the other hand looked very sorry for himself and was sweating profusely after the experience.
 
The Ravagers comes of age as they beat Malice and Overkill in a Hardcore Titan Death match. No way a match like this wasn’t going to happen despite main focus of the Ravagers being on the Colonizers. Ventross says “the Gladiators are almost as bad as the Colonizers”. Unfortunately based on their first few matches as a team in the fed they weren’t being given much chance. However they come of age with far and away their best performance so far. Maybe the Gladiators were too cocky as they spent much of this long match on the back foot. The Ravagers just wanted it far more. Malice was pretty much knocked out of the equation as he took so much punishment and was lucky not to be the one pinned as he endured both RAVAGER FACE DROP and RAVAGER SACK. It left Overkill to pretty much fend on his own. Looked like he might actually pull it off in a dramatic scene that had everyone gasping. Rankor showed his aggressive streak as he went and brought a table into the ring. Just about hauled the huge frame of Overkill onto it and prepared to hit a suicide dive from the top of the turnbuckle. However he took too long getting up there and Overkill recovered enough to move leaving Rankor to smash right through the table himself. Everyone thought that was the beginning of the end but Rankor somehow managed to get a defensive tag and Ventross came in guns blazing. A couple near pins followed until he showed phenomenal strength to execute a full nelson power bomb on Overkill. Done with such force that Overkill was winded and unable to kick out. Crowd went mad for the outcome. Commentary team were pretty excited too. Going slightly overboard with the superlatives for the Ravagers but I guess they are one of their own. Kind of.
 
Code Enforcer overcomes Euritar in a wild Hardcore Titan Death match. It might be Super Sunday Showdown but Euritar doesn’t bring his Sunday best at first. In this hardcore variation of a Titan Death match the Code Enforcer has the advantage and almost won in less than a minute. Euritar just about kicked out in time. He spends the next few minutes barely clinging on as the violence is too much to handle. It’s a testament to his excellent conditioning that was able to do so. However the match suddenly turns as things head outside the arena. Pictures being beamed back to the giant screen reveal the Code Enforcer throwing Euritar onto a space roamer only to try and then dive on top of him and miss. Euritar rolled off the bonnet and the Code Enforcer crashed onto the vehicle causing severe damage and glass breakages. This kickstarted Euritar and he now spent time in the ascendancy. His own version of HEADS WILL ROLL was used once back inside the ring and his spectacular Scorpius Suicide Kicks added to the damage. He looked to be getting very close to winning. However as he leapt towards the Code Enforcer an instinctive arm came up and grabbed him by the neck and he was then pulverised with a throat slam suplex. The Code Enforcer follows this with his own HEADS WILL ROLL. This was the fourth time Euritar had taken it and proved too much as he was pinned immediately after. Both finished up bloody and it had been a thriller. Plenty more good stuff to come between them as this feud has only just kicked off.
 
Maxine Babe has it pretty easy against Nora Pelf and wins by count-out. Nora has been pretty quiet of late but comes out of hiding to face her chief rival from last year. Maxine’s main feud this year is with Taechon although her dislike for Nora still exists. We all remember those hair versus hair matches and how entertaining they were. This was a bit more understated although the heat did ramp up as Maxine brought her hair stylist out with her. It was just a blatant way of someone to help with her DUDE’S CHOICE finisher. They played their part although Nora no sold it with a strong kick out. Maxine maintained control and was rarely having to roll on her defence. Nora tried to relieve the pressure by rolling out the ring where she then got into an altercation with the stylist. As insults were exchanged Nora suddenly hears the bell and realises she’s been counted out.
 
DARK MATCHES
 
Murdok makes a winning debut against Son of Ram. The fear factor Murdok is provoking across the dimension has lead to his debut match being kept off air. Son of Ram had been confident and looking forward to making a name for himself in singles. However when Murdok comes through the curtain he starts quaking in his boots. There’s no sugarcoating Murdok’s arrival. It’s a very disturbing time. He makes no noises as he goes about his business. Not much by way of wrestling skill but power in abundance to make up for it. Son of Ram offered very little resistance although it took quite a while for Murdok to beat him. The winning move when it came was a guillotine on ropes. He then quietly departs the ring and left Son of Ram to rot.
 
Enigma pinned Mike Fortune. Slightly demeaning to both guys to stick this on before the cameras go live. They don’t let it bother them and serve up a good match. Mike Fortune shades it on the offence. However he gets caught cold by a small package. The ref had sustained an injury after Fortune used THE HANGMAN. Annoyed by this he tried to revive the ref. Whilst he was doing this Enigma recovers and rolls him up from behind. The ref manages to make his count and the three is reached before the shocked Fortune can burst out. Fortune was fuming and laid the poor ref out again.

CARD 1164 – CENTRA PALLADIUM:
 
Painmaster beats Mayhem in a Cosmic Cage match to win the Centra belt. Painmaster might regret all his bragging about being a cage specialist as his big title shot at the Centra belt is placed in one. He’ll have to face the king of hardcore, Mayhem. Mandrill is on standby to christen the Colonizer belt should Painmaster win it. They have a quite incredible match. Easily five stars. It was because they were both just so kamikaze in their approach. They missed deathjumps galore. Mayhem fouled up his LEAP OF DOOM twice too. Despite that he still had numerous escape attempts. One particularly close one after an adapted version of DANGER ZONE. Had also drawn blood on Painmaster as a result of a Cranium Cracker. Painmaster gave as good as he got though and got Mayhem into THE TORTURE RACK three times during the course of it. Mayhem just refused to give in. The final application of the hold was a very long and torturous one. Painmaster follows it up with a Hammerlock Slam which shakes the whole cage. In true ‘win at all costs’ style he chooses to make a dash for the door rather than climb out and manages to make it to win the belt. As he held it aloft he looked like he’d been in a war. One now wonders on the fate of the belt given the earlier threats by Mandrill to rebrand it.
 
Mace gets the better of his partner Grunge in a Milky Way Falls County Anywhere match. Will this reboot the relationship or make things far worse? Mace makes no bones about his contempt for Grunge. In fact it’s a surprise it’s taken this long for them square off. Despite this Thantos maintains this is not the end of Disorder X. Fireworks go off immediately as during the introductions Mace barges Grunge as he walks past. Grunge responds by burying his guitar on Mace. His head goes right through the middle and he ends up wearing the thing as a collar. Grunge has a lot to say for himself at this point “you look like a loser, I’m the only reason this team wins any matches and tonight I’ll prove it by beating you”. Mace removes what’s left of the guitar and swings it at Grunge shattering into a thousand pieces. Almost immediately he throws Grunge out of the ring so the carnage could commence. Tables get broken. Chairs get bent. It’s pretty wild. Mace does most of the damage although Grunge does threaten from time to time. Eventually they end up brawling near the back of the venue where there is a gigantic hologram video screen made of fortified glass. Mace manages to pick Grunge and launch him into it via a running body slam. No getting up after that. Mace pins him, then spits on him before firing a kick into the side for good measure.
 
Wolf has to be at his best to see off Ventross. Don’t tell Rankor but Corporal Aegis was extremely impressed by Ventross on the last show and thinks he could also cut it as a very strong singles wrestler and urges him to try his hand. No way Ventross will abandon the Ravagers tag team although the chance to take on one of the worst elements in the GWFC is appealing. It’s surreal to hear Wolf getting booed by a crowd after over two decades as the most popular icon in the GWF. Despite his unpopular status there is no doubting that Wolf has a touch of Peter Pan about him. Not that he has never grown up but he doesn’t appear to be ageing. Or if he is then it’s at an extremely slow rate because he is still in his prime after all this time. What’s very disappointing is Wolf has never really allowed anyone to accompany him to the ring. Even Amazonia being there was quite rare. Yet in his new villain role he has no objections to Maleph. The winged demon was being a dangerous pest as usual. In fact Maleph played a pivotal part in keeping Wolf in the match with various out of ring attacks and also interference following SEVERED TIES by Ventross. The fact it came to that tells you everything about how Ventross performed. More than matching Wolf throughout. There can be no disgrace about his eventual loss which came via a Wolf Skullcrusher.

Max Shield and Rankor over Rebel Empire by DQ. Given the uneasiness that exists between Rankor and the rest of the ROC team is this link up a good idea? Max thinks working closely together might increase the trust. It’s also freed Ventross up for his single match (up next) without arousing too much suspicion in Rankor. Things get off to a chaotic start when Mandrill comes out to ringside instead of Rouser. Rankor warns him ‘no monkey business’ and it all kicks off. When things eventually settle into some wrestling it’s Max hogging the ring time for his team. You can see Rankor visibly getting agitated. Must be said though that Max was brilliant and you could see why he wouldn’t want to disrupt his momentum. He ended up absolutely flattening Nefarus with THE OMICRON FORCE (+6). Unfortunately he didn’t get the chance to pin him as Mandrill is straight in the ring attacking Max to cause the DQ. Vendetta soon joins him and as Max goes down they are both laying the boot in. Rankor reluctantly helps but lets Max take some punishment first. By grabbing a chair from outside he’s able to clear the ring. Later when Rankor was asked why he was slow to assist he simply said “I was angry with Max, he’s not a team player”. After a quick medical check up Max was okay although was very hurt to hear that from Rankor and suggests they team again and work the situation out. Have to see what happens.
 
Mutant beats Sniper by DQ. This was supposed to be Mike Fortune up against Sniper until he pulled out claiming injury. Krakan sends Mutant instead. Speculation by DM on commentary is that Fortune’s feigning it as doesn’t want to risk losing to a woman. He jokes “big girl’s blouse, wuss. Call him what you want. It’s all funny and what’s more it’s true if he cannot bring himself to face Sniper”. It’s a difficult match for Sniper. Being so close to Krakan. Plus she wasn’t happy with the Terrorists being with her. Didn’t really want them there but didn’t dare say anything. They just end up ruining the match as a spectacle. Always looking to attack Mutant and inevitably causing a disqualification.
 
Desolation Factor beat Ninja Assassins by count-out. They meet again. The Ninjas killed the heat of Desolation Factor by winning so easily at ANTILIA ARMAGEDDON. Surely it wouldn’t be so easy in this rematch. Although after a messy opening few minutes they did look to be closing in on victory. They got Ruin with DOUBLE EDGE SWORD. Daeman would surely of pinned him if not for Rack bulldozing the cover. Daeman skilfully wards him off with a well timed savatte kick. Rack falls through the ropes. Rather than continue on against Ruin Daeman goes after Rack some more only to get ambushed and counted-out.

Latest News:
 
Big title switch took place as Rising Sun quickly drops the Heavyweight belt to Thunder. The Gladiators have reacted to their difficult 2110 by coming back strong. Brute is set to start using gang attacks when and wherever possible to keep the belt on Thunder. One wonders if there might be some kind of revenge taken by the team against Splatter or the Hitmen? Splatter’s ill advised lottery attack on Thunder was stopped in its tracks by Brute. Krakan would have been tearing his hair out if he had any. The last thing he wants is to be making enemies of the Gladiators. Now they have a major belt the Gladiators could not care less about losing the Centra belt (or whatever it’s now being called). Spike doesn’t say much nowadays but broke silence to refer to it as worthless trash.

It doesn’t stop there with the Gladiators as they now bid to win another belt. Despite a questionable ranking caused by just losing to the Ravagers it has not stopped Malice and Overkill challenging Twin Blood in a bid to stop them breaking the record reign of Brute and Massacre that has stood since 2090 which is 64 cards. There was no ducking the challenge from Twin Blood as the threat of attacks on members of the Rocketmen existed if they didn’t agree. The only sticking point was whether Commissioner Morpheus and the championship committee agreed. Morpheus liked the idea of the match and despite some initial resistance brought the other committee members round to his way of thinking. So the match will happen on #1167 which is the exact card number that the record will be broken should Twin Blood successfully defend. A regular match is currently booked but special match rules could yet be added. Who knows. Maybe if the Gladiators win the Ravagers might get a very early title shot. Having just beaten the Gladiators there might be a case for it. Only thing going against them is some of the iffy results they’ve had. This was their first win on TV since their debut.

The Fighting Titans have a chance to repair some of the damage of Rising Sun losing the Heavyweight belt. Ursa Major is making waves on the singles scene. Getting lots of glowing statements and his win against Prodigy pushed him well up the rankings ladder to earn a shot at the newly named Centra belt (read more on this story further down). He and Scion Nexus had engaged in a friendly rivalry to see which one of them could go furthest in their little singles runs. Obviously this goes way beyond expectations. However it’s not uncharted territory for Ursa Major. Around a decade ago he had another decent singles push and pulled off one of the biggest upsets of all time to win what was then known as the Interplanetary belt from Vengeance. He even successfully defended it a couple of times before dropping it back to him. Ursa Major never thought he’d reach such heights again. Naturally he’ll be the big underdog but that didn’t stop him back then.

As previously mentioned the Centra belt has been rebranded to the Colonizer belt by Mandrill in a move to really get under everyone’s skin. He has even had a new one made for Painmaster to wear. The fate of the original belt is unknown. What’s frustrating is that Commissioner Morpheus was the bearer of the bad news and has allowed it to happen. His eye is on the cash such a storyline can generate as the ROC will be stepping up efforts to save the belt and restore its former name. Of course they will have to wait in line behind Ursa Major. Maybe if he can win it back then will be receptive to it being switched back.

Murdok’s first foray into a wrestling ring ended in an expected victory. Son of Ram was not expected to put up much opposition and was dutifully dealt with. Stiffer tests await. Only those in attendance would have seen it as it was a dark match. Although I am sure fan footage will find its way online before long. Everyone gave Murdok a wide berth at the card. He disappeared pretty quickly after the match. One wonders whether it was to return to Antilia. Just where does a guy like this go? Maybe he returns to his tomb and awakens periodically or perhaps he is now in a permanent state of consciousness. Also what will be the domino effect of coming out of this slumber? Perhaps more sinister historical figures could soon rise. All questions that will be answered in time.

Surely Disorder X cannot last much longer especially after they contested a violent Falls County Anywhere match with each other which Mace ended up winning. Even Thantos is getting fed up and goes so far as to name and shame the duo for Team CPC’s difficult atmosphere.

Mike Fortune gets suspended 2 cards for assaulting a referee. Commissioner Morpheus makes it clear that any violence towards GWFC staff will not be tolerated.

CLASH ON CENTRA is the next big event coming end of next month. I won’t share much info purely because I haven’t given loads of thought. Maybe see how the preceding shows progress. All I really know is that Thunder will make his first Heavyweight belt defence against the Code Enforcer which should be good. Expect a Circinus Cell match too as I don’t recall rolling one of those for a while.

BREAKING NEWS … After a period of discussion Corporal Aegis has agreed to let the charismatic and mystical Phantast manage/assist the ROC on a month by month basis. There were some trust barriers which needed working out but Aegis recognises the ROC needs some help to try and swing the feud with the Colonizers in their favour as well as dealing with the threat of Murdok. The first card Phantast will appear ringside at will be #1167. Max Shield and Warfare are set to team up to face Mandrill and Wraith. As if that wasn’t enough Massif has been drafted in to officiate. There will be lots of big personalities in that ring and fireworks are expected. Phantast’s ringside appearances won’t be a regular thing though and his moments will be picked carefully. Think of him more as a special attraction.
 

INJURED – none; SUSPENDED – Mike Fortune (2)
 
WRESTLER OF THE MONTH:
 
THUNDER - He has already accomplished so much in the GWF/GWFC and now adds the big one to realise that potential. Is still relatively young and has bucket loads of ability. Could easily become one of the greats. It will be interesting to see how this first reign pans out. Plans are already in place to try and ensure it lasts a long time.
 
TAG TEAM OF THE MONTH:
 
THE RAVAGERS - Any win over the Gladiators deserves credit. However it was also the manner of the victory attained. They looked ultra impressive and like they have got the hang of wrestling. It’s easy to forget they are not trained wrestlers and it takes time to click.

[wayne]

CARD 1165 – RUINS OF ANTILIA:
 
Rumours that Murdok will make his Antilia debut are confirmed. TV camera focus on the site where his tomb had partially emerged. It’s just a big hole in the ground now with smoke occasionally rising up from it. Murdok’s match still isn’t being aired so we just get a summary from Dragonmaster on what happened.
 
Archon stays hot as he blows away Euritar. Despite a loss to Vyper on the opening show of the year Archon has made a strong start to 2111. Wins over Wolf and Vengeance are not to be taken lightly. He was looking to take another leap forward here. Probably ends up taking several of them as he completely dominates Euritar. Wearing him down almost immediately with his submission style. When Euritar did slip away outside the ring Archon’s new found ability to mix it up hardcore meant he easily won the brawl. Back in the ring he seeks to finish with THE RIOT ACT. Reynard B. Guile’s attempt to stop the ensuing pin is stifled as Archon picks Euritar up and throws him towards the snivelling manager. After a hefty collision sends B. Guile flying Archon is able to go back to Euritar and pins him successfully.

Prodigy dazzled against Paragon. Plenty of moaning by Paragon about the lack of a recent push and it has led to some internal heat that even saw Skinhead chiming on Centra Spacebook “Paragon’s lack of a belt push is a sob story nobody is interested in”. Paragon stayed silent preferring actions to speak louder than words and defeat Prodigy. However he fails miserably. A strong start soon falls apart as Prodigy shows his incredible skills. After nailing a cross body block Johnny Rocket was concerned enough to take matters into his own hands and try to stop the pin. Prodigy was up like a shot and just took Johnny out with a springboard dropkick. He then does the same to Paragon who was just getting to his feet and gets the pin for a huge win.
 
Max Shield and Rankor beats Rebel Empire by DQ again. With reluctance Max and Rankor try again. Max goes too far the other way this time and leaves Rankor mainly doing the work. Regardless we get the same outcome as Rebel Empire loses by DQ. The action leaves the ring and Vendetta decides to grab a hold of Rouser’s latest sign and break it over Rankor’s head. The bell goes off but nobody pays much attention and we just get a messy brawl to the back. Rouser showed his cowardly side off by waiting behind in the ring until the coast was clear.
 
Monad mauled Lance At-Las. Lance always enjoys getting away from the concrete jungle of Centrapolis even if it is the Antilia wastelands. Although Doomsayer ruins the mood straight away by taunting “where’s your loser wife?” A cruel reference to Lance’s friendship with Meteor. Lance has come across Doomsayer and Monad (when it was the Cosmic Forces) many times in his long career and has a deep rooted dislike for them. Explains why he is uncharacteristically hardcore in his attempts to go after Monad. Unfortunately it’s all in vein. Monad absorbs the early attacks and manages to get going. Once he’s on offence is very difficult to stop. Lance wilts under the barrage that included SURFBOARD SUBMISSION, deadly swarms of fists and then QUADRUPLE CLAMP in which he passed out.
 
Anaxis brutalised Nora Pelf. First meeting since that infamous Servant match. Anaxis still maintains she was abused during her time with the Rocketmen. Nora is tired of hearing the accusation and vows to give her something real to complain about. Sadly she is unable to back that up. Anaxis is fuelled by an unladylike aggression and batters Nora all over the ring. Nora did well to last as long as she did making two kick outs after CALL OF THE SIREN. A third one though was just too much and led to her being defeated. Anaxis then grabbed the floating mic and demanded Nora become her slave and started kicking her whilst still down. A big cheer went up when Johnny Rocket rushed out to the rescue and pushes Anaxis out of the ring. Anaxis shrieked “how dare you assault a lady” to which Johnny quipped back “you’re no lady”.
 
Cygnus Strikeforce dismiss Animen Invasion. Bit of a filler match. Even to this day everyone assumes a match agajnst Animen Invasion will be a squash. However they have caused enough problems for teams in the past to now take them a lot more seriously. On this occasion though they rarely threaten. The closest they come to an upset is when Son of Ram interferes to help Antak after CYGNUS STRIKEFORCE and causing Maelstrom a single roll on L3D. However Cygnus Strikeforce is quickly back on top and US. Traitor was able to pin Antak after knocking him silly with a Traitor Missile.
 
DARK MATCHES
 
Draconian Sheik beats Murdok by DQ. Murdok still being kept off air but not for much longer. At CLASH ON CENTRA he will remain hidden no longer as he will face Rankor in one of the first match reveals of the event. For now he must contend with the unpredictable Draconian Sheik and the accompanying Terrorists. At first he doesn’t know what to make of them. Simply staring whilst Drac seemed to be walking around the ring sniffing the ropes. Finally he points at Drac and booms out “intruder” and marches menacingly towards him. Drac responds by trying to bite his finger. Murdok manages to push him off and proceeds to obliterate Drac for several minutes. The Terrorists do very little to assist. As if they are caught under Murdok’s spell. The only relief came when Murdok performed a clumsy deathjump and missed. Drac stirred into life after this and began a sequence of throwing Murdok to the outside which eventually resulted in a brawl. Murdok deals with this picking up some kind of sceptre that he’d brought to the ring and knocking Drac out. He receives a DQ for this. Although the loss doesn’t kill his heat in anyway. Drac is out cold and the Terrorists are backing away so he still looks very intimidating.
 
Nth Degree mauled Sir Ender. I suppose hats off to Sir Ender. He keeps making bold, if somewhat delusional, claims and getting embarrassed. Yet he keeps coming back. In his words “Nth Degree is another monster I must slay to protect everyone”. Naturally he doesn’t come anywhere close to doing that. Nth Degree seems to play with him although he need three pin attempts to finally finish Sir Ender off with PIN USING ROPES. So yet another loss for Sir Ender. He’ll be back though with some new delusions of grandeur.

CARD 1166 – TERRONAUT TOWERS:
 
Colonizer champ, Painmaster, wrestles Ursa Major to a double DQ. Painmaster gets heckled as he comes out wearing the new Colonizer belt. It’s the ultimate insult to Centra. A belt their community was so proud and honoured to of been named after them now desecrated and in the possession of the Colonizer. They get right behind Ursa Major in his efforts to rescue it. He gives it an incredible effort and gives Painmaster many tough moments. However he becomes annoyed that Painmaster keeps rolling out of the ring to break momentum and gets sucked into a brawl. During which Painmaster gets handed Rouser’s sign to use as a weapon. Ursa Major in picking up a chair to protect himself seals the fate of the match. A disappointing double disqualification. The crowd is unhappy although Lord Nexus does give them something to cheer about when he causes Rouser to have a panic attack by cornering him. Rouser must of thought he was about to be the recipient of a TITAN DROP or something. Lord Nexus later said “I’d never of touched him, not my style, just wanted to give him a little scare”. Sadly the outcome brings an end to Ursa Major’s run at the title. He’ll not be given a rematch. Focus probably to now go back to tag teaming.
 
Pegasus overcomes Enigma. Big chance for Enigma to get among the big hitters again and he intends to take it by beating Pegasus. Of course Pegasus saw this as his own stepping stone to being able to challenge for the Heavyweight belt. His manager, Reynard B. Guile, has been anxious. Despite his stacked new team the belt cabinet remains bone dry and none of his guys are close to earning any title shots at the moment. Perhaps that’s why B. Guile was at ringside tonight. Usually these days Pegasus has Maxine Babe hanging off his arm. Only tonight she was nowhere to be seen which will probably serve as a relief to Nora Pelf. Maxine Babe has been known to try and flirt with Johnny Rocket in the past. Anyway onto the match and it’s very high tempo stuff by Enigma from start to finish. However he took enormous damage when missing ENIGMA SUICIDA. Just too cavalier again. Pegasus almost finished him off directly after that with moves like Total Submission and PROJECT PEGASUS. Enigma managed to keep going and mustered some more offence. However it was obvious that the fatigue was taking its toll and when he got caught in a Cetus Figure Four was forced to submit. Enigma may of lost but he dodged a major bullet for Pegasus had barely had his arm raised in victory when Splatter steamed into the ring. His original brand of the lottery was back. He clubbed down B. Guile and then set upon Pegasus. Shocking scenes as Pegasus was beaten with Arsenal. Over a dozen strikes left a Pegasus a bloody mess. He didn’t get a great deal of sympathy from the fans though. His heel turn having left a bad taste in many mouths. When the ordeal was over Pegasus was stretchered away and a lengthy spell on the sidelines expected (8 cards). Splatter suffered an immediate suspension for his actions and will miss 3 cards as punishment. Got off quite lightly.
 
Wolf manages to defeat Grovel. Wolf has been waiting for this rematch against Grovel who has become a bogey opponent. Maleph prefers Wolf not be sidetracked by this though describing his infatuation with this creature as ‘going up a blind alley, there are bigger fires to start’. Although when Maleph sees Lorelei with Grovel it gives him a nice distraction. To fly around and intimidate her. Meanwhile Wolf shows he has learned some nasty new tricks by appearing the beg off as Grovel approached him. The creature seemed confused by this and was a sitting duck for a low blow by Wolf. Disappointing to see and the sort of cheap shot you’d expect of established heels. DM on commentary laments the move “I call it cowardly rather than cunning, what has Wolf become?” Despite the start Grovel managed to cause Wolf some problems again using its instinctive style. Wolf looked visibly frustrated that he cannot just squash this thing whenever they meet. He does avoid another upset though. Needing several minutes to build a sustained offence before preying upon Grovel with SAVAGE FACE CLAW. Lorelei failed to help as her hands were just too full with Maleph who just hadn’t left her alone. Next up for Wolf will be a match against Genocide at CLASH ON CENTRA in just 2 cards time. It’s only gone and been booked as a Nightmare Matrix match. That is a huge revelation.
 
Unspeakable Horror edged Cutting Edge. Quite a bit of pre-match tension as people aren’t comfortable with Amazonia risking herself against the Brymstonians. Blade tried to lighten the mood by doing his party piece of throwing a bladed boomerang down the runway. It comes within inches of Blazing Skull and Anarchy just as they came through the curtain before travelling back to where Blade was stood. The crowd loved it but now was time to get serious. Amazonia begs Blade to let her start the match. It needs his mother, Lorelei, to make the call and she chooses Amazonia. I bit like a child Blade angrily heads to his corner although to be fair as soon as the bell rings to commence he is very vocal in his support. Amazonia certainly didn’t disgrace herself either. Her main opponent in the match became Blazing Skull and she even had a pin attempt after a Sword-Edge Chop. Ultimately she was beaten by him though after being smashed into the ring steps. Lorelei tried and failed to save her after that. In between their battles Blade had a tough time against Anarchy and will have a headache after taking CRUCIFIX DROP. A distraction was the only reason he wasn’t pinned at the time.
 
The Betrayers against Desolation Factor ends double DQ. Decent looking match. Maybe the Betrayers will become more than just a part time team. They were a good mix in their last team up when they dealt with the Ravagers. If they can go toe to toe with Desolation Factor it could propel them. Although it must be said Trench’s heart didn’t look in it. He seems to be purely motivated by facing Warfare (which will happen later this month) and took a long time to get into the swing of it. Until then Wraith did most of the heavy lifting and almost pinned Rack after PHANTOM JACKHAMMER in a show of tremendous upper body strength. Trench finally seemed to wake up after that and got a lot more involved. In fact it was his offence that led to the match ending. He managed to catch Ruin dawdling and use a spinning DDT. Rack took no chances and burst in with the pin save. That brought Wraith in too and a wild brawl triggered. The ref got flung from the ring during it. When the poor guy cleared the cobwebs he called for the bell and disqualified both teams.

Taechon defeated Rouser. The prospect of this match has the crowd in stitches. A gender neutral taking on a weakling protester. It’s a weird match up. Taechon is the favourite and he/she just about fumbles through it. Although Taechon was dominating an out of ring excursion went very wrong. Making the mistake to follow Rouser out. The sign got used to turn the tables. As Taechon crawled back into the ring with blood trickling down his/her face Rouser uses SMASH WITH SIGN right under the ref’s nose and gets away with it. Taechon comes within a millisecond of being pinned but just got a foot on the ropes in time. Rouser does what he does best next. Protesting with the ref over a slow count. Allows Taechon crucial recovery time. When Rouser gives up complaining he turns around only to walk straight into in Aikido Smash. Shortly after Taechon uses a Dragon’s Claw to bring Rouser to his knees and grab the win.
