Classic Era GWF


The great and powerful GODSEND, the people in charge of running GWF and our fine sponsors, The Soylent Corporation, makers of Soylent Red, Soylent Yellow and brand-new Soylent Green are proud to bring to you Classic Era GWF. This new program in the GWF family will take a look back at the formative years of the great GWF.

GWF started in the second quarter (2nd Q) of October in 2086. The first show had tournaments to crown the first Galaxy Heavyweight Champion and Galaxy Tag Team Champions. They were won by wrestling legend Omega and time traveling newcomers the Greek Gods respectively. On the 3rd Q of October show, they crowned the first Interplanetary Champion, Executioner.
Title changes happening in late 86 include the Gladiators winning the Galaxy Tag Team titles in 4th Q of November, Thantos winning the Galaxy title in 1st Q of December and the Greek Gods winning back their Galaxy Tag Team Championship in 3rd Q of December.

We will be picking up the action starting with 1st Q of January 2087. We will look at most, if not all of the great wrestling action from those bygone days. We will also hear from time to time the men and women who lived thru those exciting days. A list of the current champions plus the numerous groups and factions that had formed can be found below. We hope you enjoy this look into the past.

Promoters note: For full transparency these are not old results I am posting. I recently purchased the color 87 starter kit and will be rolling matches with those cards. Not sure how long the bug will keep me rolling dice for this era but plan on having some fun by keeping things simple. Well as simple as can be for me.

- Comrade Terror makes it known that he can be hired to take care of any problem anyone has. If that problem is Commander Sam, he will do it at a discount.
- Vanity is looking at someone and telling them how amazing they are. The camera pans and he is talking to himself in a mirror.



Ghengis Khan beat Pulsar with a standing karate kick.

- Pulsar kicked out of Khan's finisher but did little else to brag about.


Star Warrior beat Death Knight with a forearm hammer.

- Star Warrior dominated from bell to bell.

Lord Nexus defeated Wolf with a flying head scissors.

- Wolf kicked out after a Titan Drop but fell a short time later.

- Massif putting on an exhibition of strength via some powerlifting.



Omega beat Mutant with a Tomahawk Thrust.

- Omega was looking to get payback after losing in the last main event.
- Mutant attacked Omega before the bell. But that and using his finisher twice was not enough to score another upset win.



Comrade Terror submitted Pulsar with a Comrade Neck Clutch.

- Terror was in control from bell to bell.



Greek Gods beat Gladiators when Proteus pinned Massacre after an Overhead Toss in a Galaxy Tag Team title match to retain.

- A really good that went back and forth.

4th Q, January 2087



Opening promo video

- Lord Nexus says he will beat Executioner and win the Interplanetary Championship.

Greek Gods and Beast-Rider beat Gladiators and Wolf after Beast-Rider hit a Bulldog Ride on Massacre.

- A short match as neither team made a tag. Massacre seemed to be injured before the Bulldog which might account for his lack of a kick out.

Executioner over Lord Nexus with a Headsman Guillotine in an Interplanetary title match to retain.

[Vanimal]

Nice action so far. Exo-King always feel short for me no matter how hard or how many times I pushed him.

[on_the_edge]

Thanks for following and the comments. I was hoping for a more competitive match but figured Star Warrior would get the win. Debating if Exo-King goes after single glory now or if will try tag team action.

-----------------------------



Question: How did the idea for Battle Among The Stars come about?


Star Warrior: Huh, well I guess you have to go back to the start of GWF. When the Earth Mars Promotion (EMP) went under due to financial issues my dad and some others in the business saw an opening for a new promotion. Part of that vision dad had included a PPV on the level of a WrestleMania, a Starrcade, a Double or Nothing or a Bound For Glory. Before the first show even happened my dad, Commander Sam, Thantos or as he was still known then Cosmos, Invincible Krakan and a few of the Board of Directors plus some marketing people were sitting around discussing ideas for names of PPVs. I'm not sure who came up with Battle but I believe it was Scott Peterson, one of the marketing guys. My dad fell in love with it. He said the double meaning of taking place in space, sort of to say, plus the wrestlers beings stars just set great. Once he heard it there was no other name in the running for the main PPV.



Question: What was the feeling in the locker room about Omega being in the first main event of Battle Among The Stars?


Star Warrior: It was kind of a mixed bag. I think a few in the so-called villain camp might have wanted to be the one to face Thantos but kept quiet about so as to not rock the boat. Well, maybe except Wolf. I think he might have grumbled some. As for the hero camp, everyone was fine with the pick. If there was any doubt, they kept it to themselves out of respect to Omega. Me being an exception. I felt like dad was holding me back and I deserved to be there. He told me my time would come, which of course he was right, and that his name was a bit of a bigger draw at the time then mine. I admit, at the time I was hurt and frustrated but looking back it was the right call.

Poor Omega can never catch a break in my fed. I'm always wanting him to do better, but the old veteran just can't hang with the youngsters.
