LAW CHAMPIONS

[LAWraith]

The show cuts from intermission and we're backstage. A female reporter stands flanked by four figures. The young woman currently has black hair with red highlights, her sleeveless shirt shows off her tattoos which feature many poker card like scenes. Including a prominent ace of spades.

"Ladies and gentlemen of the galaxy I present to you the victims of what could go down as the biggest crimes in the galaxy" Rebel Rook begins. "With me is the Royal Court" she begins but Exo King takes the mic. "Rebel I can not believe this injustice. We here are noble upstanding citizens who showcase what professional wrestling should be, not like those cheats Thantos and Massif." He puts his arm around Queen. "Thantos dont think we forgot you my friend. Cheaters never win and as soon as this tournaments over, Queen is gonna lock you back into CHECKMATE and hopefully their will be a much hearty referee around to hear you cry for you mother!" King decrees before Nexus takes the mic.

Nexus pauses a moment grabbing his back in pain and then corrects himself. "Massif, you and your crew had already put themselves on our radar but now you've put your team at the top of the list, I'll be seeing you again and you wont be able to rely on your illegal moves to beat me again!"

"Jeremy this is Rebel Rook, and this is one upset family. Back to you."

:  Star Warrior vs Vanity vs Comrade Terror vs Commander Sam

MATCH 01: Star Warrior demolished Vanity and captured the pin after a nasty karate chop
MATCH 02: Comrade Terror needed an ATOMIC WARHEAD to take down Commander Sam

MATCH 04: Star Warrior defeated Comrade Terror in a great match after the debut of his NOVA LAUNCHER finisher!!

STAR WARRIOR 2-0
COMRADE TERROR 1-1
COMMANDER SAM 1-1
VANITY 0-2


MATCH 05: Comrade Terror survived Vanity after Vanity put Terror through the announce table, Terror fought back and ATOMIC WAHEAD got him the win!

MATCH 06: Commander Sam shocked what looked like an injured Star Warrior, hitting an ATOMIC DROP and scoring the pin

"UNBELIEVABLE!  We have our first draw!  Time for Sudden Death Atticus.  All three men will now battle it out, next pinfall or submission wins the bracket!!" Jeremy declares as Comrade Terror enters the ring and takes one corner, Commander Sam leans back into the opposite buckle.  Star Warrior crawls and uses another turnbuckle to level himself.  The referee enters across from Star Warrior and the three men look over the other two.  DING DING!!

SUDDEN DEATH TRIPLE THREAT: In an absolute donnybrook (easily my favorite match this card), everyone exited the match a bloody broken mess. Two near falls and Warrior and Terror nearly advanced to the finals.  Terror leveled Warrior with an ATOMIC WARHEAD and before he could attempt a pinfall Sam knocked Terror out of the ring and then landed an ATOMIC DROP.  1-2-3!!!!  SAM SURVIVES SOMEHOW
WINNER: Commander Sam

The camera cuts to the back again where we have Rebel Rook in the LAW infirmary.  There is a doctor patching up Thantos the best he can in the short amount of time.  "Well well well, look at the gamemaster.  You look terrible, maybe you should just pack it in and call it a ..." Rebel starts but Tessa steps forward and takes the mic from her.  Rebel looks petrified and backs off.  Tessa hands the mic to Thantos.  "I'd ask you what you think of the Royal Court's chances to win the title Rebel but looks like there already in the showers getting ready to go home" Thantos turns and looks to the monitor.  "Three down, three to go.  The games not over yet.  Sam, Massif, Wolf.  Your all that stands between me and preventing Omega's nightmare.  Three more matches and I'll be heading out with the top prize in our business.  There's nothing you can do to stop it." Thantos says and gets up and heads out.

In the arena, there is a mixed response from the crowd, some cheers and some boos.  But its cut out when the GLADIATOR theme hits.  Out walks all of the Gladiators, Wolf leading Brute, Massacre and the Executioner out of the entryway.  One of the officials goes to lead Wolf to the cage but Executioner scares him off and takes the keys from him.  Executioner leads Wolf to the cage and is followed by Brute and Massacre.  Executioner replaces the official that usually stood guard and now guards the Aethran door.  Brute, Massacre and Wolf begin to converse about what to do tonight.  Massacre is heard detailing how to beat a giant.

Out next is Commander Sam who enters the nearby cage.  As he does the Gladiators begin talking again and Massacre clearly points at the cut on Sam's forehead.

THE MAIN EVENT: IMPOSSIBLE TOURNAMENT FOR LAW GALAXIAN CHAMPIONSHIP FINALE

Thantos vs Massif vs Commander Sam vs Wolf


MATCH 01: Thantos outlasted Massif, targeting the legs and then locking in MASTERLOCK

MATCH 02: In a brutal back and forth match, Wolf busted open Commander Sam but Sam somehow found a way to land an ATOMIC DROP on Wolf and score the pinfall

MATCH 03: Thantos shocked Sam after a double clothesline took down both men.  Thantos managed to get to his feet first and locked in a sleeper hold to score the win

MATCH 04: Wolf bloodied and beat up Massif to advance


After two rounds the scoreboard looks like
THANTOS 2-0
WOLF 1-1
Sam 1-1
Massif 0-2

MATCH 05: In a strange twist, the Federation Defense Fighters Tag Team had to fight each other, Commander Sam somehow came out on top avoiding the power of his partner Massif

"Right now we have a potential interesting situation heading into maybe the final match of the bracket" Atticus began.  "Sam won his match putting him at 2-1.  Wolf wins he forces a triple threat sudden death match.  Thantos wins, he sends everyone on their way home as he wins the title.  Jeremy this is a moment I've been waiting for a long time.  Thantos!  Wolf!  This might be the best chance so far the former Cosmos has had at being the best in the game. But the Aethran wildman is looking to put his team on the map.  MASTERLOCK versus SAVAGE FACE CLAW!  HERE WE GO!!" ATTICUS proclaims as the entire crowd comes to their feet to start this match.

MATCH 06: A wild and crazy SUPERCARD saw all that and something more in this match.  Both men were bruised and bloodied, Thantos looking a little bit more wounded than his opponent.  Both men were able to lock in their respective finishers only to watch the other escape.  In the end Thantos demolished Wolf with a sick running clothesline and fell on top of Wolf.

The arena echoes as the referee jumps into position and makes the 1 - 2 - 3!!!  After the match, Wolf manages  to roll out of the ring to an awaiting Brute & Massacre who help him to the back.  The referee exits and re-enters the ring with GWF Galaxian Heavyweight Championship title belt.  "At long last, whether his beliefs were true or not, Thantos is at the top of the mountain.  THE GAMEMASTER WEARS THE GWF GALAXIAN TITLE BELT around his waist" Jeremy Judge proclaims.  

Thantos who at this point has managed to crawl to the ropes and leans against them.  As he is handed the title belt, he kneels in the ring and stares at the title for a moment.  He takes a deep breath and then gets to his feet.  Thantos holds the title high as the show comes to a close.

LAW IS PROUD TO PRESENT
DOWN FOR THE COUNT

LAW INTERPLANETARY CHAMPIONSHIP TITLE MATCH
Ghengis Khan defends against Wolf

The Invincible Krakan vs Lord Nexus

Brute & Massacre (c) vs Blacklash & Bullwhip

Pit Viper vs Vanity

STEEL CAGE MATCH
Tessa Blanchard (c) vs Hunger

THE MAIN EVENT (FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER)
Thantos (c) vs Star Warrior

So some notes, this card will be played this Friday and will be the first ever encounter Thantos/Star Warrior!!!  The Royal Court in the first ever VANITY FAIR segment were able to goad Wolf into going after Khan and his newly won title so they can divide and conquer the Society of Death.  This is also Krakan/Nexus first big enouncter in my fed in singles competition but doesn't seem to hold the sway that the main event does.  The Roayl family is playing out very strange so far in this federation.  They kind of do shenanigans but act more as faces so far more than I expected.  Krakan may have bit off more than he can chew as he's taking on a war on two fronts as the Gladiators are willing to fight anyone and everyone.

Tessa Blanchard debuted hot and captured the womens title in the process.  Her and Hunger have engaged into a brutal feud.  Tessa beat her to win the title but Hunger got the best of her until the belt went on the line and Tessa found a way to win it.  Their steel cage match could be brutal.

The Greek Gods are in a downward spiral, currently winless on the ranking books and Omega has gotten beat up by Morpheus.  Not really sure what I want do with Morpheus here as he's clearly a rank above his old rival.  Wanted to keep him around for a couple years before having him retire from health issues.  

Speaking of I could see a huge tag shake up as next year begins, Proteus, Queen, Sam and Massif seem to be doing a lot better in singles competition and I might not keep them with their tag partners.

Anyway, thanks for reading and can't wait till Friday!

Hi

Just curious about what the abbreviations were in the Title Ranking formula (PW, SW, D, SL, and PL)?

I do see the formula at the end in the Totals, just wondered what the letters stood for...

Primary wins (submissions or pin)
Secondary wins (count out or DQ)
Draws


So kind of like hockey 2 points for a primary win or loss, 1 point for secondary win or loss. Wins get added, losses get subtracted and you get your point total.

Thanks for that!

I've gone ahead and made two more columms:

GW = Win over grudge opponent in a grudge match (+3 points)
GL = Loss to grudge opponent in a grudge match (-3 points)

Since there are no count-outs/DQs in grudge matches, I didn't need to add columns for Secondary Wins/Losses.

Maybe those numbers should be plus or minus 2.5 points? Just a thought.

Shrugs whatever works, I contemplated PPV wins as a column but thought was too much lol

Events played but going to have dinner with wife, some real strange happenings ...

1) Khan has found ways to keep sneaking away with IP title
2) Wolf on bad losing streak
3) Tag team turmoil ... every tag team seems to be running into an issue where at least one member is doing great. Massacre, Massif, Proteus, Renegade and Exo King all made final 8 in MegaTournament and three made final four. Massif dominated Star warrior to win tournament. MT winner gets a diamond ring, they can either keep it or trade in for main event title shot at civil war. Not sure what I want to do with Massif but hes been dominate and it feels like him and sam should be in singles.
4) Warrior once again is a runner up, it's funny how this is such a big thing in my feds. Star Warrior always a bridesmaid never a bride.

Will process and then do write up of two supercards
