Uranus defeating Stallion with help from Honos is an all-time great moment. What a fun feud. I assume this means Stallion is the new Black Hole Champion? Seeing him have to carry around that title is pretty funny. After posting this I wanted to write about this show, but as Tony Schiavone used to say “folks were out of time”. I finally have a minute to do so. This show is up there with some of the most memorable in the games history for me. It’s a rare thing to have the dice do exactly what you want them to and for the Black Hole match, they 100% played their part. Stallion is the Black Hole Champion and it will be fun as hell. Thanks for checking in. I started posting these to get the spark back and it worked, I played a show tonight that was nearly as fun as this, but that’s in the future! |

- Elevation (34) -
Maffei II, The Launching Pad
The Stable make their way to the ring with Stallion leading the way taking in all the heckling from the fans. Splash follows, holding the Black Hole Title at arm's length like a full diaper while Crust and Mass bring up the rear. The fans give it to Stallion before he cuts them off in anger.
Stallion - Honos! This is all your fault! I challenge you to a match for this!
Stallion points to the Black Hole Title still being carried by Splash who desperately wants to hand it off.
Stallion -I Walk in with the title, but I won't be walking out with it!
MAD MAXUS vs. ANI-REBELS
Mayham wins with BACON BITS! (2.5)
Mayham gets the pin for his 2nd match in a row! Mayham can't believe it! Neither can Axe, Chameleon or the ref!
Backstage Interview
Quest says he doesn't think Pardon had anything to do with the disappearance of Swerve or Blue Chip, but winning the FTR title would have the roster chasing him instead of the other way around. "It'll help get answers, that's for sure."
SONNY ROCKET vs. BLUR
Sonny Rocket wins with the ROCKET LAUNCHER! (3)
Blur was in complete control until Workrate comes out jawing away about last Elevation and how Blur and Forge cost him the number one contender ship. Forge attacks Workrate from behind and the two pick up where they left off last week. This distraction gave Rocket the window he needed to take over and win.
A vignette of Astarte at the FTR*PC taking down opponent after opponent. When there's no one left he looks at the floating vid monitor and says he's back next Elevation!
SPLASH vs. VACANT
Vacant wins with the SPINE CRACKER! (3.25)
Vacant keeps the Spine Cracker on to the point of nearly being disqualified but releases when the lights start to strobe and Screwjob appears on the FTR-TRON. The Man in the Hood talks from behind Screwjob challenging Vacant at the next PLE! Vacant shakes his head slowly at first then more maniacally accepting the challenge!
Backstage
In the bowels of the Launching Pad is where we find our tag team champions - Moonlight and FTR champion, Pardon.
Pardon has an array of bandages on, still recovering from his injuries suffered in the Brymestone Burning Match. The champ paces back and forth.
Moonlight looks on worried and asks if maybe he's overdoing it.
"You really are burning the candle at both ends now."
Pardon stops pacing. "If so then this whole place will burn with me!"
He holds his titles high as she grins and nods.
ARCTIC EMPIRE vs. CROSSBONES & WITCH
Crossbones and Witch win by count out! (3)
A back-and-forth match that could go either way ends when Murtak pops up on the FTR-TRON in a parka on the Ice Moon of Andromeda with the Flag of Dreeze! Cephalopdis and King Tux abandon the match and watch Murtak plant his flag from the aisle; unfortunately for them, the ref never stops counting and they lose the match!
This solidifies Witch's claim for number one contendership to the FTR tag titles!

Your fed is making me want to bust out my FTR cards. Just not sure yet how that works w Myth Worlds?
I assume they’re all frozen back in Dimension K and weren’t invited on the trip by GODSEND.

That's the assumption I'm going with. They're frozen like everyone else. I would assume Kronos and Centra wouldn't fall under that category. I have a work around that I won't have to use for a while but I'm 6 shows away from where I want to pause to jump back to Kronos for the RTC. |

 Highlights from Elevation are recapped along with two exclusive interviews airing only here! First up is the ending to Elevation's main event where former FTR tag champions Arctic Empire are counted out after Murtak's latest effort to humiliate the Ani-Men duo. In an exclusive video shot after Elevation ended, we get words from a heated King Tux. King Tux - I'm sick of this BS! Murtak this isn't a game to us, you trespassed on our home to plant your idiotic flag. Fun time is over! I challenge you next Elevation! I'm going to tear you apart, and no one can stop me, not you, not your scaly friend, no one! We catch up with Commissioner Rocket who is on the go as usual. We walk and talk, trying to ask some questions but get few answers in return. Q - What's the name of the next special? Rocket - I came up with a special name and poster for the winner of the Come and Get It Number One Contender Brawl, even made a poster too. Q - Any update on the whereabouts of Swerve or Blue Chip? Rocket - Shouldn't that be asked to the number one contender??? Q - What do you have planned for Elevation? Rocket - We will have the official contract signing for the FTR title match, plus I will have a sit down with three of our newest stars that can't stop fighting each other. I have a great idea, they might not be too thrilled about it. That's all I can say at this time, now if you would excuse me. |

- Elevation (35) -
Maffei II, The Launching Pad
WITCH vs. MOONLIGHT
Moonlight wins with ABSOLUTE PARDON! (3.75)
Moonlight gets her win back and gains momentum going into the tag title defense next show.
Backstage
Sonny Rocket burst into The Rocket Men's "special" locker room, away from the rest of the FTR roster. He finds Mad Maxus playing the latest GWF HoloX game without a care in the world. He shuts it all down and says there will be an all team "family meeting" at the next show about the state of the team. "I think we need to shake things up a little."
EUGENICS PROJECT vs. URANUS & HONOS
Honos gets the win by pinning Mass after Military Strike! (2)
The Sons of Janus look strong, taking the win from their rivals.
Mayham is out next to boast about his recent wins. He tells the fans he's going to let the galaxy in on the secret to his success. After teasing it for several annoying minutes he says he had a Gladiator Cleansing! The fans laughter makes Mayham angry, and he says he'll prove it by destroying anyone dumb enough to accept his open challenge.
Astarte answers the call!
ASTARTE vs. MAYHAM
Mayham gets squashed by Astarte getting pinned after an Avalanche!
Astarte defeats Mayham handily and gets a warm welcome from a crowd who has had tepid to downright hostile reactions towards him.
The Launching Pad
Sonny Rocket hosts Forge, Workrate and Blur in a pre-taped sit-down interview. He claims his peer-mediation worked before and he's sure it will again. One by one each man gives their side of this feud built on miscommunication. Rocket tells them they will all have a chance to work it out in a Tirion Triple Threat match at the next PLE. Then he drops a bombshell - Whoever takes the pin will fight for the Black Hole Title the following Elevation!
MURTAK vs. KING TUX
Murtak wins with CONQUEROR'S FLAG! (1)
King Tux had the match well in hand when Disciple of Terror attacks Cephalopodis with a chair sending him to the ground in a instant. Tux leaves to help but KO'd by Terror and a pair of Cygnus Brass Knucks! Murtak steals a win!
CONTRACT SIGNING
Quest makes his way to the ring followed by Pardon. They join the ever-busy Commissioner Rocket who starts things off by announcing the name and poster for the show. He directs everyone's attention to the FTR-TRON where a crude child-like drawing of Swerve and Blue Chip sitting in a booth at local eatery Maffle House while Quest looks under the table with a magnify glass. The words "They Found Me, I Don't Know How But They Found Me" pop up over the drawing and Rocket doubles over in laughter. Both Pardon and Quest no sell it.
Quest - This is stupid and a waste of time, can we get on with it?
Rocket (under his breath and hurt nobody sold his rib) - You're stupid and a waste of time.
Quest signs, then Pardon. Rocket grabs the contract and quickly exits the ring. Quest and Pardon get face to face when Captain Crossbones music hits. Witch walks out instead distracting the men in the ring. Crossbones tries to swing into the ring to attack but Pardon is ready, countering his attack, fighting him off and sending him running. When the champ goes to turn his attention back to Quest he's leveled by DNA SAMPLE! Quest leans down to talk to the unconscious champ.
Quest - Maybe your partner is right, you're gonna burn out! Don't worry, I'll be there to rise from the ashes!

 Zeliotrope Outer Regions Space Station, Blackspace beyond Pluto 8,421
TIRION TRIPLE THREAT MATCH
BLUR vs. WORKRATE vs. FORGE
Forge wins with a GLEAMING HAMMER! (4) Forge pins Workrate after a GLEAMING HAMMER in an incredible opening bout. Forge uses his actual hammer outside of the ring to take Blur out of the action and hits a devastating (+2) HAMMER to secure the win and send Workrate into a Black Hole Championship match next Elevation FTR TAG TITLE MATCH
PARDON & MOONLIGHT vs. CAPT. CROSSBONES & WITCH
Moonlight gets the pin after a Twin Thrust to Crossbones! (4.5) A classic tag match in FTR! All four competitors score near falls on the other three fighters, but a desperate Twin Thrust and roll up gets the tag champs the victory. We will see how much this match has taken out of Pardon, who spent a fair amount of time in the ring on defense near the end of the match. SCREWJOB vs. VACANT
The enigmatic Screwjob wins with TITAN SCREWJOB (2) Vacant looks like he's going to spoil the debut of Screwjob who is fading in the Throat Trap when The Man Under The Hood jumps on the apron to distract the Neptunian. Vacant lunges at The Man who grabs his head and hits a Stun Gun allowing Screwjob to recover and hit his finisher. THE LAUNCHING PAD
The Rocket Men are in the ring for the "Family Meeting". Sonny tells Mad Maxus they need to shape up, they've become a laughingstock, the team everyone wants to face for an easy win. He then turns to Astarte and says it's his fault The Rocket Men don't have the FTR title anymore!
"Pardon played you like a fiddle; I thought you were smarter than that. You lost the title and gained an injury. You got played."
Finally, he says The Rocket Men need new blood around here, so he went out and found a difference maker. Everyone is shocked as Uranus strolls out! The Rocket Men can't believe it, Sonny claps for his newest signee who is having trouble climbing the middle turnbuckle to raise his hands.
BLACK HOLE TITLE MATCH
STALLION vs. HONOS
Honos wins a bloody battle with MILITARY STRIKE! (4) Honos wins a hardcore battle with Stallion who ends up a bloody mess. (FT2) Honos parades around the ring celebrating his victory when Stallion blindsides him with the Black Hole Title. He ties Honos in the ropes then wraps the Black Hole Belt around his head and hits Lucky Horseshoe three times in a row! Honos lays motionless as Uranus runs to be by his brother's side waiting for the stretcher. ARCTIC EMPIRE vs. SPACE POWERS
The Animen win by disqualification (3) A comedic match that was going Space Powers way ends up biting them in the butt! Cephalopodis frustrates Disciple of Terror the entire match and King Tux loves it. When Terror finally ends up in the driver's seat he's unable to put Cephalopodis away with Feel the Terror and then again after DREADNAUGHT. Murtak can't do it either after CONQUEROR'S FLAG and the fans are cheering the hell out of Arctic Empire. D.O.T finally losses his cool outside the ring repeatedly using Murtak's flag pole on the back of Cephalopodis until it breaks in half! The ref calls for the bell and the DQ! Disciple is irate that he lost the match as Tux helps his partner to the back. FTR CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH
PARDON vs. QUEST
Quest wins with DNA Sample! (3.75) Quest is proven right! Pardon's tag title defense at the beginning of the night takes too much of a toll and Quest is able to capitalize. Pardon musters a comeback but it's not enough, either is his cult's interference on his behalf. New FTR Champion! |

Makes me wish my own FTR fed wasn’t frozen in time back in DK, 🥶 The Honos/Stallion feud was one of my favorite things to play out since I started playing. Beginning with Stallion punting an egg, Uranus becoming an underdog favorite with a 5-star match, all the way to bloody battles with Honos, it has been a wild ride. Honos has an oXc title defense soon so his time in FTR may be done...for now. Thanks for following along! |
