Great action as always in your Shattered Universe. Very cool to see Nosfera win the GWF Universal championship from Endgame, and Swarm, despite the shenanigans. On the flip side I was bummed to see Coven Black drop the GWF Interplanetary title to Shayne but at least he had a great run as champ. It was a tough decision, but I thought it was time to give the Real Ordeal a well deserved title opportunity... My Vampire brother was able to successfully defend the title a record breaking nine times, so I really have no complaints on that front. Nosfera, on the other hand... Gotta say that title change required a little bit of scrambling from the matchmaking perspective... I was already planning for Monolith to challenge Endgame for the title on the next card... Fortunately, that unexpected development allows me to set up an interesting dynamic between the Genetic Beast and the Fallen Icon for the Rumble itself. * Interesting sidenote: Since his debut in 2120, Nosfera has ALWAYS been participant #13 for the Rumble... Which begs the question, who will draw this most superstitious entry position this year? Truly appreciate the continued interest and kind words, my friend... Many thanks! Tricks or Coven Black of course! Endgame has won at the #1 position before, so he could do it at the #2 spot. Endgame will be a third time winner! Winner Winner... Who gets a chicken winner? |

Another thing to keep in mind... Thanks to Alpha Female, one habitual favorite won't be in the Rumble this year... Without Overmaster to contend with, the odds drastically move to favor guys like Endgame, Monolith, Paganax and Harbinger. Should have results posted later today, brotha... Many thanks for staying tuned! |

GWF #164 Alpha King Rumble
2129.14 from Serpens Cauda
BONEYARD BRAWL
Gladiators of Aethra (Rush & Turmoil) defeated FDF Watchmen (HelSin & Psi) via pinfall. Turmoil pinned Psi with a CHAOS IN THE CROWD. -- Tokens: Rush 4, Turmoil 7 - HelSin 2, Psi 5
- Attacking their foes with reckless abandon, the Gladiators secured their spot as number one contenders for the tag belts.
GWF Interplanetary Title Match
Shayne defeated Balaal via pinfall (snake eyes) with a Frontier Justice. -- Tokens: Balaal 2
- With the temporary conversion to Black Death that was caused by Balaal still fresh in his mind, Shayne made extremely short work of his challenger. Mantis rushed the ring and viciously attacked Balaal after the bell. As security pulled him away, he cried out for one last fight against the vile serpent.
Shayne retained the GWF Interplanetary Championship for a successful version two title defense.
KNOCKOUT or SUBMISSION ONLY
GWF Universal Tag Team Title Match
Ultimate Fighters (Clinch & Shoot) defeated Immortals (Sur & Bex) via submission. Shoot finished Sur with a TAPPED OUT! -- Tokens: Clinch 8, Shoot 6 - Sur 6, Bex 3
- Relying on sheer determination, TUF survived one close call after another while chipping away at the champions. Emerging triumphant, Clinch and Shoot established a new benchmark for title reigns by a team.
Ultimate Fighters won the GWF Universal Tag Team Championship. (4)
GWF Universal Heavyweight Title Match
Swarm (w/ Mantis) defeated Nosfera (w/ Hector) via disqualification. -- Tokens: Swarm 1 - Nosfera 6
- As Swarm dominated the action inside the ring, Omen wandered towards ringside to question Hector about his relationship with Nosfera. Making a snap decision to protect the Demon's reign, Hector grabbed Omen's torch and plunged the burning end into Swarm's face. As the referee called for the bell, Mantis pulled his father to safety. Hector informed Omen that his services were no longer required and to punctuate this point, Nosfera blasted his former manager with THE DEMON'S BREATH.
Nosfera retained the GWF Universal Heavyweight Championship due to a technical decision.

Go Ultimate Fighters. Nosfera proves to be more clever than he seems. TUF now hold the record for most tag title reigns by a team (although Havoc and Paralyze are both 5X champions, they did it with more than one partner)... Not sure how much actual interest Nosfera has in that title, but he now has a pretty diabolical ally to help him hang onto it... How will Hector propose to handle the winner of the Rumble and the Demon's next challenger? The Aethran Atrocity is one title victory away from becoming the second competitor to achieve this fed's Triple Crown! |

Neither Monolith nor Endgame could win from the very first two starting positions. I know you are happy to see Havoc win the Alpha King Rumble.
I think if Shayne can complete 10 or 12 title defenses as GWF Interplanetary Champion, he deserves a shot at the Universal Title. 10 or 12 title defenses is quite a hold on a title and is ready for a champion vs. champion match.

I certainly have no complaints with this year's Rumble winner... If Havoc can dethrone the Demon, he will become only the second Triple Crown winner (Swarm was the first)... So, that's pretty exciting. The way I'm booking Shayne is that I wanted to give him a more gradual build than most of the bigger names... As you're probably aware, guys like Endgame, Monolith, Overmaster, etc. never held the IP title - It's always been the big belt or nothing for them... If he can continue his hot streak, I will probably give him a shot at the heavyweight title sometime before the 2130 P1 series. Truly value the input, brotha... 2129 is almost in our rearview mirror... Paving the way for Future Shock! |

Coming up... GWF #165
COSMIC WAR DANCE
2129 comes to an end!
》 Omen said it best - No one controls the Demon. With the Holy Brown Bear in his corner, Nosfera is more unpredictable than ever. As winner of the Alpha King Rumble, Havoc takes his shot at the GWF Universal Heavyweight Championship. Can the Aethran Atrocity achieve the elusive Triple Crown?
Nosfera (c) vs. Havoc
》 Endgame seeks to further his Revenge by going head-to-head with the Genetic Beast in a Best of 5 Falls competition.
Endgame vs. Monolith
》 By losing a hard fought match to Alpha Female at Zero Hour, the fearsome Aethran Overmaster was forced to surrender his spot in the Alpha King Rumble. He has decided that enough is enough, vowing to end the career of this defiant competitor inside a Cosmic Cage.
Aethran Overmaster vs. Alpha Female
》 By capturing the GWF Universal Tag Team Championship for an unprecedented fourth time, Clinch & Shoot broke a multi-way tie for most reigns by a single team. Snapping at their heels are the Gladiators, who want to keep the Aethran legacy alive.
Ultimate Fighters (c) vs. Rush & Turmoil
》 With End of Days apparently departing the scene, numerous cracks have formed within the foundation of Black Death. Rallying together, The Three attempt a final parting shot at the company this group has terrorized for almost three years.
Sur, Bex & Ghena vs. Harbinger, Paganax & Tauran
Also scheduled for the card:
-- Shayne (c) vs. Coven Black
for the GWF Interplanetary Championship
-- Scorn vs. Mistress in a Last Woman Standing match
-- Payback & Swarm vs. Splatter & Tricks
-- Mantis vs. Balaal in a Titan Death match
-- Overtime & Titan Samurai vs. Bishop Hell & BD Danger
-- Mean Streets vs. Gamemasters
-- Psi vs. Tharkas

GWF #165 Cosmic War Dance
2129.15 from Cetus
Tharkas defeated Psi via pinfall with a sit-down powerbomb. -- Tokens: Tharkas 3 - Psi 6
- This was a hard fought encounter, showcasing the often overlooked talents of both competitors. Tharkas seemed uncharacteristically impressed with his human opponent, exiting the ring with a curious expression.
Overtime and Titan Samurai (Giant Azuma & Kenji w/ Lord Nexus) defeated Bishop Hell and BD Danger (Death Masque Betrayer & Ensor w/ The Dark Menace) via pinfall. Kenji pinned Bishop Hell with a diving karate chop from the top rope. -- Tokens: Azuma 1 - Bishop 2, Betrayer 1
- After a disappointing conclusion, the Menace indicated that Black Death was no longer a force to be feared and he was planning to form his own faction. He refused to provide further details.
Gamemasters (Star Warrior w/ Nova & Thantos) defeated Mean Streets (Patch & Skiver) via pinfall. Star Warrior pinned Patch with a Running Star Blast. -- Tokens: Thantos 3 - Patch 5
- Although he handled the majority of the workload inside the ring, Thantos listened to Nova's pleading and reluctantly tagged Star Warrior into the match. Star Warrior managed to string together a rapid fire combination for a dazzling finish. Patch and Skiver later announced that their time in the federation was over and they would not consider a return unless there was a significant change in management.
TITAN DEATH
Mantis defeated Balaal via submission with a PINCER CLAMP. -- Tokens: Mantis 2 - Balaal 5
- Mantis finally settled the score with Balaal for making him a pawn in Black Death's cruel games. He was joined by Swarm to celebrate this emotional victory as Balaal slithered away.
GWF Interplanetary Title Match
Shayne defeated Coven Black (w/ Mistress) via pinfall with an EYE 4 EYE. -- Tokens: Shayne 3 - Black 3
- With calm precision, Shayne patiently wore Black down in this seesaw battle. Before the match, the champion stated that he wanted to beat Black without Shayne's Fury and he accomplished his goal.
Shayne retained the GWF Interplanetary Championship for a successful version three title defense.
Payback & Swarm (w/ Lord Nexus) defeated Splatter & Tricks (w/ Hector) via submission. Swarm finished Tricks with a WASP TRAP. -- Tokens: Payback 6, Swarm 4 - Splatter 5, Tricks 3
- When interference by Hector turned the tide in his team's favor, Nexus retaliated by putting him through a table with a Titan Drop. Inspired by the Titan legend, Payback and Swarm mounted a thrilling comeback.
LAST WOMAN STANDING
Scorn (w/ HelSin) defeated Mistress (w/ Coven Black) via knockout with a Holy Crossbody. -- Tokens: Scorn 9 - Mistress 9
- Both women were pushed to the limits of their endurance in this grueling battle. Black continuously looked for ways to help his companion, but HelSin was always there to prevent him from getting involved. Striking back at his nemesis, Black roused Mistress with a passionate kiss after the bell. It was a heart wrenching reminder of the relationship that HelSin lost when Mistress was transformed into a creature of the night.
GWF Universal Tag Team Title Match
Ultimate Fighters (Clinch & Shoot w/ She Devil) defeated Gladiators of Aethra (Rush & Turmoil w/ The Leveler) via pinfall. Clinch pinned Turmoil (snake eyes) with a Superman Punch. -- Tokens: Clinch 4, Shoot 4 - Rush 3, Turmoil 4
- The advantage changed hands several times in this explosive conflict. Landing synchronized strikes with flawless timing, TUF knocked the Gladiators off balance and a well placed snap of She Devil's bullwhip prevented The Leveler from getting involved.
Ultimate Fighters retained the GWF Universal Tag Team Championship for a successful version one title defense.
Harbinger, Paganax & Tauran (w/ The Guardian) defeated The Three (Sur, Bex & Ghena) via pinfall. Tauran pinned Ghena with a VICTORY STAR DROP. -- Tokens: Paganax 2 - Sur 1, Ghena 3
- Shoving Guardian aside, Harbinger walked out on his teammates moments after the opening bell. Despite being outnumbered, Paganax and Tauran refused to back down. With a captivating performance, the popular duo delivered a message of hope to the crowd. As far as they were concerned, Black Death was no longer a threat.
COSMIC CAGE
Aethran Overmaster defeated Alpha Female via pinfall with a REIGN OF THE OVERMASTER (+6). -- Tokens: Alpha 3
- Determined to prove his superiority, Overmaster battered Alpha Female with merciless authority. Paralyze arrived after the bell with a group of Aethran soldiers to take Alpha Female away in shackles.
BEST of 5 FALLS
Endgame defeated Monolith. -- Tokens: Endgame 8 - Monolith 8
- 1st fall awarded to Endgame via pinfall with a Verdict of Execution.
- 2nd fall awarded to Monolith via pinfall with a CATASTROPHE.
- 3rd fall awarded to Monolith via disqualification. Endgame tried to gain an unfair advantage going forward by choking Monolith with his skull scepter and then crushing his leg beneath the metal ringside stairs.
- 4th fall awarded to Endgame via submission with a ROLLING FIGURE FOUR.
- 5th fall awarded to Endgame via pinfall with an ENDGAME'S REVENGE (+4).
- On his way towards the backstage area, Endgame encountered three new arrivals. Although there were some striking differences, the first individual was clearly Magnus Colby. He was followed by an attractive female companion and a masked bodyguard. Taking a puff on his cigar, Colby addressed the fans by stating that Future Shock was prepared to take over the GWF.
GWF Universal Heavyweight Title Match
Havoc defeated Nosfera (w/ Hector) via pinfall with a COSMIC NIGHTMARE. -- Tokens: Havoc 5 - Nosfera 3
- Even when Nosfera held the upper hand, Hector had difficulty keeping him on point. Both competitors narrowly avoided disqualification as the fight repeatedly spilled out to the floor. Havoc eventually overwhelmed the Demon with his intensity, becoming only the second competitor (along with Swarm) to achieve this federation's Triple Crown.
Havoc won the GWF Universal Heavyweight Championship.
