Epic card! Been following and lurking! Always enjoying what you do! This show was so much fun to play. Some surprises for sure (I thought Space Powers were going to squash Arctic Empire) but all of it makes the next few shows that much better! Thanks for checking in!

- Elevation (37) - Maffei II, The Launching Pad
Sonny Rocket is walking the backstage area making sure everyone is doing their jobs. As he makes his way through Gorilla and to the curtain, Astarte approaches him. Astarte goes to ask about Uranus but Sonny cuts him off. "I'm heading to the ring, but we'll pick this up later!"
Sonny makes his way out to the ring, soaking up the cheers and boos with equal vigor.
Sonny Rocket - Loyal fans of the FTR, I am here to announce our next special, which will take place right here at The Launching Pad! It will be the King For A Day tournament! I was rummaging through my father's things and came across the rules for an innovative concept called the Scorpi Spotlight Battle Royale. Inspired by this, I decided to make it into an event only I'd be crazy enough to allow! The winner will have complete control of the following Elevation! Be warned, if you try and get cute by making rules, stipulations and matches beyond that Elevation, I have the right to veto it! I myself will enter the KFAD and when I win, I will be granting myself a shot at the FTR title!
SPLASH vs. SONNY ROCKET Sonny wins with the ROCKET LAUNCHER! (2)
Rocket takes care of business in an exciting match with Splash. As he walks to the back Mad Maxus is waiting behind the curtain.
Axe- Dude! Why Uranus? He's a square!
T.A - Not Totally Awesome.
Rocket - Guys, guys! We get Uranus, we get Honos! Especially after that attack, he's going to want some back up. I swear it's like I'm playing 5D chess while you're playing with a cup and ball. Now get out there and win!
MAD MAXUS vs. ANI-REBELS Chameleon defeats Electric Axe with a Reptilian Claw Hold! (2.25)
A comedy of errors led to the victory of the Ani-Rebels. Chameleon has Axe fading in the Reptilian Claw Hold when T.A rushes in to break it up. Mayham tries to meet him but trips over the rope on his way in. Fortunately for him, he falls in front of T.A who trips over him and hits E.A creating a chain reaction leading to the pin.
Backstage The Space Powers challenge Arctic Empire to a Flag Match next Elevation!
SCREWJOB vs. BLUR Screwjob demolishes Blur!
After an incredible start, Blur gets caught outside the ring and the rest is all Screwjob. In a display of total disrespect, Screwjob uses the ropes after decimating Blur. The Hooded Man makes a declaration that The King is IN the Ring! "Screwjob will win the King for a Day, and when he does..." All of the sudden Vacant burst out of the back to attack Screwjob! He's intercepted by security as Screwjob taunts him from the ring.
Backstage Rocket is befuddled with Mad Maxus and that loss. He's about to let them have it when Astarte interrupts.
Astarte - Soooo Uranus...
Rocket - Not you too, listen I have a ...
Astarte - No, Uranus...
Astarte steps aside to reveal a crying Uranus. The Son of Janus just says his brother's name when Rocket stops him.
Rocket - What happened is a travesty! But rest assured, The Rocket Men have your brother's back! In fact, with you as a Rocket Man, we should also have Honos as a member!
Uranus says that's great, only his brother had to return to defend the OXT title and if he loses, he won't be able to come back. "Injury or not he has to fight, who knows if he'll ever come back, we'll have to wait and see. At least I have you guys now!"
Axe - Checkmate, Sonny.
BLACK HOLE TITLE STALLION vs. WORKRATE Stallion wins with LUCKY HORSESHOE! (3)
Stallion celebrates wildly as he's finally rid of the Black Hole Title.
Quest makes his way to the ring, FTR title over his shoulder. He has a different swagger to him, more laid back than his usual demeanor of finding his suspect.
Quest - No need to look find King for a Day, cause the CHAMP OF A LIFETIME IS HERE! All I ever wanted to be was heavyweight champion, and no one will take that away from me!
Pardon starts to make his way to the ring but security cuts him off. As Quest watches Pardon, Moonlight slips in the ring and hits ABSOLUTE PARDON! Quest goes down as Moonlight stands tall, Pardon looking on in confusion!

- Elevation (38) - Mafei II, The Launching Pad
Backstage Pardon stands next to Commissioner Rocket's office door, waiting for Moonlight to walk out.
Pardon - Well, that was a surprise last Elevation, any reason?
Moonlight - You don't get to have all the fun, love.
Pardon (nodding to the door) - What was that about?
Moonlight - Like I said, you don't get to have all the fun. Your King for a Day just may be a Queen! We have a tag match next Elevation, I'm going to prepare.
Moonlight walks off leaving Pardon alone with a devilish grin.
FORGE vs. CAPT. CROSSBONES Forge wins with a GLEAMING HAMMER!
Forge looks dominant taking out the former FTR champion with relative ease.
Backstage Quest storms into Rocket's office but gets cut off immediately.
Rocket - I hope you're not here to complain about people "coming to find you." This is exactly what you said you wanted.
Quest - Not complaining, in fact I'm here to ask for a match.
Rocket - Well, you're late, it's already happening next Elevation. Good luck finding a partner; the way you bullied half the roster I'd be shocked if anyone wants the job. Now if you excuse me, I have to pay close attention to this next match...
ANI-REBELS vs. ASTARTE & URANUS The Rocket Men pull of the win with Uranus getting the job done (Mayham) with SON OF JANUS! (1.75)
Astarte and Uranus work surprisingly well together in their win over Chameleon and Mayham.
Backstage Quest looks for a partner everywhere in The Launching Pad, all the folks he interrogated turn their backs as he approaches.
VACANT vs. SCREWJOB Screwjob makes it look easy taking out Vacant with TITAN SCREWJOB. (1.5)
Pre-Taped Promo New Black Hole Champion Workrate says even if he won the match he would have taken the title due to his subpar performance. Workrate proclaims he will only relinquish the Black Hole Title in a match that's rated four stars and above!
The Rocket Men Locker Room Sonny congratulates Astarte and Uranus on their win. Astarte says he's glad it's over so he can focus on King for a Day. Rocket says not so soon, he's booked them again next Elevation! Mad Maxus asks what about them. Sonny informs them they are booked as well but it's against each other! "Maybe it will help you guys figure some things out. Iron sharpens iron and all that good stuff!"
Backstage Forge approaches Quest who looks to have given up on his search.
Forge - If you still need a partner, I'm in! You've done nothing wrong to me, I'll help you out. Just know, I want what you have more than anything in this galaxy!
FLAG MATCH (WALK THE PLANK RULES) SPACE POWERS vs. ARCTIC EMPIRE Cephalopodis retrieves the flags to win the match! (3.5)
The Flags of Dreeze, Cygnus, and Andromeda were connected to resemble the sail used in a traditional Walk the Plank match. Cephalopodis and Disciple battle back and forth on the Plank until Cephalopodis choke slams him from the platform down into the ring and grabs the Flags!

- Elevation (39) - Maffei II, The Launching Pad
ASTARTE & URANUS vs. EUGENIC'S PROJECT Astarte and Uranus win via count out! (4)
An excellent tag match to kick off Elevation. Astarte and Uranus actually make a decent tag unit! Crust saves Mass twice after GREATNESS DAWNS but can do nothing after Astarte hits a reverse head drop off the ring apron to the floor! Both men are down but Astarte wills himself back into the ring beating the count as Crust fails miserably to try and lift Mass.
Backstage Stallion is being interviewed by an up-and-coming FTR correspondent. He boasts about getting rid of "The Overrated Man" Honos and says now that he's rid of the Black Hole Title he can get back to business. "When I win King for a Day, I'm taking the FTR title and cutting some dead weight. Uranus, you can reunite with Honos sooner than you think!"
BLACK HOLE TITLE WORKRATE vs. SPLASH Workrate wins with the SIX STAR SPALSH! (3)
Workrate gets the win and is no longer Black Hole Champion! He grabs the belt and is ready to give it to Splash when the Dem tar Velez match rating appears on the FTR-TRN. * * * Workrate gets upset, pulls the belt back leaving with the title in disgust.
Workrate is still the Black Hole Champion
Backstage Uranus enters Rocket's office celebrating not aware Astarte enters looking like he's on his way to a funeral.
Astarte - This experiment is over after tonight, right?
Rocket - Not so sure. You guys really work well together. You picked up the win and the fans were really behind you guys. Actually Astarte, this is the most over you've been...well ever! I say we keep it going.
Astarte- We'll see when I win King for a Day.
T.A vs. ELECTRIC AXE Totally Awesome gets the win with AWESOME FINISHER! (3.5)
Both men were hesitant to go at it at first but go hard as the match progressed. Axe dominated the middle of the match but T.A wins in the end. Both men shake hands and hug afterwards as Rocket claps them on from the aisle.
Backstage Stallion runs into Astarte in the halls and tells him he'll be doing him a favor when he's King and exiles Uranus. "Or maybe you like hiding in tag matches, it's a lot safer." Astarte has had it. "I'm sick of your shit Stallion! All you do is talk. I'm over it! Me and you, next Elevation!"
NON-TITLE PARDON & MOONLIGHT vs. QUEST & FORGE Moonlight gets the win by pinning Forge after HEAD ON A SPIKE! (3.5)
Quest and Pardon continue to brawl after the bell until security rush out and get between them. Pardon tries in vain to get back into the ring, but security do an excellent job keeping them separated. Forge regains consciousness to see Quest hurling threats at Pardon while holding the FTR title high above his head. Forge grabs his hammer and prepares to attack his partner! Quest notices him approaching and hits DNA SAMPLE in the nick of time. He leans down to talk to Forge.
Quest - Even though you were never a suspect, I know you're not a killer. You're not smart enough to get the drop on anyone!

- Elevation (40) - Maffei II, The Launching Pad
Various quick promos in the style of Saturday Night's Main Event (or early Collison) air to start the show all talking about what they would do as King for a Day.
Capt. Crossbones and Witch - Witch - There's only going to be one Queen and it's not going to be the Mongol! When it's all said and done I'll be the first female FTR champion!
Crossbones-Mark my words, the crown is mine for the takin’, and I’ll be claimin’ it with the ferocity of a true pirate king! So, batten down the hatches and brace yerselves, because Captain Crossbones is comin’ for ye, and there’s no stoppin’ this cosmic tidal wave of destruction!"
Mayham -Move over Malkuth! Step aside Irone Mane! The real King of the Animen is here!
King Tux & Cephalopodis - Tux - Add another crown to the throne room? Why the hell not! Anything to add, Ceph?
Cephalopodis shakes his head no.
NON-TITLE QUEST vs. FORGE Forge wins with DNA SAMPLE! (4)
It takes Quest three DNA SAMPLES in a row to put down Forge in an excellent match to start Elevation.
Promos Murtak - It's time for the conqueror to take over FTR! When I become King for a Day...wait why just a day? What if I don't want to stop being King? I might wan-
Pardon and Moonlight Pardon - The possibilities of what we can do are only limited by our sick and twisted minds...
Moonlight - That means nothing is off the table! Let it burn!
Splash -I'm gonna start having neck problems walking around with all this hardware on! In fact, after I win the KFAD, y'all can start calling me 2 Crowns! Better yet, you can call me Mr. FTR - Forever The Realest - Your boy Splash!
MAD MAXUS vs. SPACE POWERS Mad Maxus wins after Disciple of Terror goes on a rampage.
Disciple takes it to T.A right from the start. T.A gets in 2 moves the entire time in the ring and is decimated outside of it. The ref calls for the bell when Disciple ignores his warnings. DOT grabs a mic. "I'm not here to be a part of these losers' redemption story. I'm becoming King, and trust me, it won't be for just a day!"
BLACK HOLE TITLE WORKRATE vs. BLUR Blur wins with a BLURRING LARIAT! (4)
Workrate was hoping to get a four star match out of Blur and he did! Unfortunately, he was on the losing end of an explosive match. Workrate kicks out of three straight BLURRING LARIATS before a final fourth keeps him down.
Promo A different feel from the other promos in tone and color (black and white), The Man in the Hood stands behind Screwjob and does the talking while his monster stares off into the distance. "Things will be made right when Screwjob wins the King for a Day, if only for one night! Everything FTR was meant to be shall come to pass, and once that happens, you can never go back!"
The Main Event Stallion makes his way to the ring with The Stable followed by Astarte and The Rocket Men. The four members of The Stable stand across from the five Rocket Men each with daggers in their eyes.
Rocket - I'm glad you brought your goons with you, they're welcome to stay, I'm making this a Lumberjack match! In the interest of fairness, I found you a fourth lumberjack!
Out comes Murtak waving the Dreeze flag! Stallion is livid!
HYDRA LUMBERJACK MATCH ASTARTE vs. STALLION Astarte wins by disqualification (2.5)
The floodgates opened after Uranus saves Astarte from being pinned. Where Uranus gets away with it, Splash does not, and the ref calls for the bell. That's when all hell breaks loose! Rocket Men and The Stable fight around ringside while Murtak hops in the ring to wave his flag. King Tux sees enough, runs out and takes him down while Cephalopodis lumbers out behind him only to be chopped down by Disciple of Terror! Old rivalries are renewed when Capt. Crossbones attacks DOT while Blur and Workrate fight through the curtain from the back. Pardon and Moonlight join the fight and start clearing house when Vacant springs into action. The lights in The Launching Pad start to strobe and out comes Screwjob who cuts down anyone in his path on his way to fight with Vacant! Quest makes his way out and he and Pardon throw down with the FTR champ coming out on top. Quest stands tall in the ring with his title when he goes down hard! Forge gets the drop on him knocking him out cold with and his hammer and ends up the last one standing!
