Tournament of the Stars FINALS
Deimos
2087

With a GWF Heavyweight title shot on the line in the main event, we are set to see the conclusion of the Tournament of Stars. On the undercard, the Tag Titles are on the line plus a big time tag match with the Federation Defense taking on The Gladiators...


Exo-King vs Red Talon
This one was way more competitive than it should have been, with Red Talon hitting a Flying Headbutt to start the match, but the slumping Exo-King finally got control and secured the much needed win.

Exo-King (1) beat Red Talon (2) via King Power Slam in 8 min (DUD)


Star Warrior & Omega vs Gladiators of Aethra
Star studded tag team match saw both sides get close to finishing off the other, with Massacre almost grabbing the win before Omega barely kicked out of the Decapitator. The Heavyweight Champion took over late, and finished things off with the deadly Nova Launch to give the crowd a father son victory.

Star Warrior (0) beat Massacre (3) via NOVA LAUNCH in 18 min (★★★)
Omega (3), Brute (2)



Lord Nexus vs Mutant
A quick squash, with Nexus still fuming over the Society's attacks on the Flying Titans. After the match Nexus called out Krakan and challenged him to a trios match, Titans vs Society of Death!

Lord Nexus (0) beat Mutant (1) via TITAN DROP in 4 min (DUD)



GWF Tag Team Championship: Greek Gods (c) vs Space Croppers
In a rematch from the inagaural tournament, The Space Croppers again proved to give the Greek Gods some trouble- with Beast RIder picking up two very near falls with his Bulldog Ride. But the champs never wavered, and eventually found their opening to secure yet another title defense.

Actagon (2) beat Renegade (0) via reverse piledriver in 21 min (★★)
Proteus (1) Beast Rider (1)


TOURNAMENT FINALS: Thantos vs Wolf
The tournament finals saw two familiar faces... and a familar outcome. For the thrid straight time Thantos, for all the talk about how this time was going to be different, still couldnt solve the Wolf puzzle. Aggressive early one, Thantos seemed to have Wolf on his heels- but that didnt last long. Once he hit the Savage Claw the first time, Thantos was never the same- and a second one did him in for good.

Wolf (1) beat Thantos (2) via SAVAGE FACE CLAW in 19 min

LUNAR HOUSE SHOW #8
2087
Lunar Earth

The first show on the road to GalacticMania kicks of with Thantos and the Evil Ones making their way to the ring. Thantos announces that he is "holding court" and evaluating the team after what has been a disappointing year. He stresses accountability, and that its time to weed out the weak. He announces that next week, Exo-King will face the Duke of Destruction, with the loser getting kicked out of the faction.


Commander Sam (0) defeats Death Knight (1) via Skullcrusher in 6 min ★
Death Knight was on his heels this entire match, with Commander Sam looking confident and aggressive, easily countering any offense the clumsy Evil One tried to muster. This one was never in doubt, even after Death Knight kicked out of the Atomic Drop.

Massif (0) defeats Comrade Terror (3) via Volcanic Drop in 5 min SQUASH
Another impressive showing from the Federation Defense, as Massif completely outclassed the hired hitman from the opening bell, hitting two Volcanic Drops that knocked Comrade Terror clean out, forcing medical personnel to help him to the back afterwards.

Lord Nexus (0) defeats Executioner (3) via TITAN DROP in 4 min SQUASH
The night of squash matches continued here, with Lord Nexus making short work of Executioner, overwhelming him with his speed and agility, nailing back to back Titan Drops to earn the emphatic victory.

After the match, Nexus seemed to be yelling at the still recovering Executioner, but it was hard to make out exactly what was said, and Nexus seemed hot as he made his way to the back.


The Gladiators made their way to the ring. Massacre insisted that the tag belts belonged around their waste and they would do whatever they needed to in order to prove it to the world. The Greek Gods came out and issued a challenge. If they defeated all opponents leading up to GalacticMania, they would get their title shot. But should they lose, the winning team would get the shot instead. Smiling, the Gladiators accepted.


MAIN EVENT: Gladiators defeat the Titans via DQ (when Society of Death interfered in the match) in 8 min ★
All Participants (0)
The Flying Titans seemed poised to score the upset and earn a tag title shot- isolating the bigger (and slower) Brute and pounding away at the big man. But when Brute countered with a surprise rollup, both partners came in to help their partners- this lead to a brief four man brawl as the officials tried to regain order. Before they could, the Society of Death stormed the ring and beat down the Gladiators... with the officials having no other recourse but to end the match and award the Gladiators the victors via DQ.

A both the Gladiators and the Titans were visibly livid, neither wanting the match to end this way, as the Society laughed their way to the back as the show went off the air...



Next week’s card was also announced:

LUNAR HOUSE SHOW #9
Omega vs Red Talon
Commander Sam vs Killer Queen
Duke of Destruction vs Exo King
Gladiators of Aethra vs the Space Croppers

[lankylefty17]

LUNAR HOUSE SHOW #9
2087
Lunar Earth

The show kicks off with Lord Nexus and the Titans already in the ring. Nexus proclaims that enough is enough- if the Society wants a war, here it comes. At GalacticMania, No DQ Trios match. Krakan quickly appears out from the back to accept.


Red Talon defeats Omega via rollup pin in 4 min DUD
A shocker of an opener, as Omega was feeling things out the quicker Red Talon surprised the vet with a quick roll up for the pin. Red Talon celebrated like he just won the title, with Omega visibly disappointed as the crowd stay silent, seemingly unsure how to react to what they just saw.

Commander Sam (0) defeats Killer Queen (2) via Sam's Atomic Drop in 11 min ★
Commander Sam came out here with a renewed energy we haven't seen from him in some time, quickly going on the attack and keeping the pressure on the whole match. Crowd was super into this, watching the veteran dominate in a way we haven't seen in a few years.


A rare Wolf promo, where the number one contender vowed that the last show of 2087 would be the end of Star Warrior and the Federation's dominance. The time for the Lone Wolf era is upon us...


Exo-King (0) defeats Duke of Destruction (3) via flying body crusher in 12 min ★
As he promised last week, Exo-King made an example out of The Duke, beating the man to a bloody pulp before mercifully ending the match. This one was rough on the crowd, who didn't know who to root for and essentially just watched a giant man with robot parts try and kill another smaller man with robot parts.

Space Croppers defeat Gladiators via Bulldog Ride in 21 min ★★
Beast Rider (0) Renegade (0); Brute (3), Massacre (1)
You could feel it in the arena, the Gladiators looked off right from the opening bell- with the quicker Space Croppers keeping both men off balance and never letting them get into a rhythm. With Massacre thrown out of the ring and Brute completely gassed, Beast Rider hit the Bulldog ride in the middle of the ring and sealed their own trip to GalacticMania. The Croppers celebrated in the ring as the dejected Gladiators looked on.

Next week’s card was also announced:

Lunar House Show #9

Massif vs Renegade
Flying Titans (Pit Viper & Pulsar) vs Society of Death (Khan & Mutant)
Commander Sam in action!

LUNAR HOUSE SHOW #10
2087
Lunar Earth

The show opened with a surprising main event announcement- the Greek Gods would put their tag team titles on the line against the team of Star Warrior & Omega. But before anyone in the building could make sense of that, Commander Sam came out and challenged Thantos to a match at GalacticMania. Thantos responded that "while beating up Star Warrior's dads buddy is mildly appealing... I'm gonna need you to prove your worth against... COMRADE TERROR.


Massif (0) defeats Renegade (0) via VOLCANIC DROP in 4 min SQUASH
This one was short and sweet, with the size advantage being too much for Renegade to overcome. The big man was extremely focused in this one, walking straight to the back without celebrating the win.

Flying Titans defeat Society of Death via VENOM BLAST in 26 min ★★
Viper (0) Pulsar (0); Mutant (3) Khan (2)
You can feel the hatred between these two groups. The Titans, who were potentially spoiled a tag title shot, were on fire the entire match- pushing the pace and preventing SoD from ever really getting their own offense going. Pit Viper especially looked fantastic in this one, finishing the match off with a big Venom Blast.


Star Warrior comes out and cuts a big promo on Wolf giving the challenger respect, but saying there was no way, after the year he has had, that he would drop the belt on the last show of the year. He predicted a match of the year, but in the end his hand would be the one that would be raised.

Then he turns his attention to the Greek Gods. Saying they've beat every tag team in the GWF, and they've done in in dominate fashion. But, Star Warrior has a history in the tag division himself- and along with his dad, the "Royal Family" would be holding all the gold heading into 2088 and beyond...


Commander Sam (2) and Comrade Terror (0) wrestled to a double DQ DRAW in 9 min ★
This one never really got going. As the match started to heat up both men when outside and started brawling... and brawling... and eventually the referee had no choice but to call the match due to double count out.

Afterwards, after realizing the match ended in a draw, Sam doubled down on his challenge to Thantos and asked Terror for a rematch... in a No DQ match next week!

MAIN EVENT: Star Warrior & Omega defeat the Greek Gods via NOVA LAUNCH in 30 min ★★★★
Proteus (2) Actagon (4); Star Warrior (2) Omega (0)
NEEEEEEW TAG TEAM CHAMPS! Wow this match was all action, as the champs looked strong early, cornering Omega and trying to single him out from the GWF champ. But the wily legend got loose, and the hot tag to Star Warrior shifted the tide. The challengers brought an onslaught of offense that ended with back to back Nova Launches to secure the GWF's first title change of 2087!



Next week’s card was also announced:

Lunar House Show #11
Proteus vs Massacre
Duke of Destruction & Vanity vs The Evil Ones (Killer Queen & Death Knight)

MAIN EVENT: No DQ Match: Commander Sam vs Comrade Terror

[lankylefty17]

LUNAR HOUSE SHOW #11
2087
Lunar Earth

The show kicks off with highlights from last weeks main event up on the big screen, with the crowd giving a big pop to the ending, with Omega and Star Warrior celebrating with titles held high in the air...


Proteus beat Massacre via OVERHEAD TOSS in 7 min SQUASH
Shocking squash as a motivated Proteus ragdoll-ed the smaller Massacre around the ring, with the Aethran having no response.

After the match, Proteus got on the mic and asked the crowd if they wanted to see The Greek Gods kick the Gladiators ass at GalacticMania, just like he did right here right now. The crowd went nuts, seemingly giving Proteus his answer as he stormed out of the ring.

Duke of Destruction beat Death Knight via GRIP OF DOOM in 10 min ★
Vanity (0), Duke (0); Death Knight (2), Killer Queen (0)
Killer Queen and Death Knight spent the early portions of the match double teaming Vanity and keeping him from his corner. However, once Duke got the hot tag the Evil One's latest outcast went wild, sparking a huge comeback and locking in the Grip of Doom for the surprising win.

Afterwards, as they started to celebrate in the ring, both Evil Ones went after The Duke, as Vanity slipped away without lifting a finger to help. Duke was again left a bloodied mess, needed medical help to be taken to the back...

Wolf (0) beat Omega (2) via SAVAGE FACE CLAW in 9 min ★
The legend did his best to stand tall but Wolf was just too much for the aging vet. Still, Omega got the crowd on its feet when he kicked out of not one but TWO Savage face claws before finally succumbing to the third.

NO DQ: Comrade Terror beat Commander Sam via ATOMIC WARHEAD in 12 min ★★
A wild crazy brawl that saw both men bloodied before Terror would nail Sam with a huge Atomic Warhead for the win.

After the match Thantos came down to the ring. He grabbed a mic and said, while Sam couldn't live up to his end of the deal- despite two tries- Thantos couldn't pass up the chance to break one of Star Warrior's buddies. And with that both he and Comrade Terror started laying into a defenseless Commander Sam before Massif would finally run out for the save to end the show...

GALACTICMANIA 87
2087
Deimos

The big year end show kicked off with a video package highlighting all the matches, ending with the giant main event of Star Warrior vs Wolf!


Killer Queen (0) beat Vanity (1) via via CHECKMATE in 6 min ★
Vanity worked hard and the crowd was behind him but it just wasn't to be as Killer Queen mounted a strong offensive attack and put things away with the Checkmate.

Massif (1) beat Comrade Terror (3) via head butt in 18 min ★★
Terror was on the defense the entire match, getting each comeback stuffed by the Federation Defense big man. Eventually it was a massive head butt that busted Terror open and knocked him clean out that would be the finish in this one. Watching live, that head butt was brutal, and several folks in the crowd had to look away. Thankfully, Terror seemed to be able to get up on his own, though he still needed help to get to the back.

GWF TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP: Omega & Star Warrior beat Space Croppers via TOMAHAWK THRUST in 21 min ★
Star Warrior (0) Omega (1); Renegade (2) Beast Rider (0)
Fun back and forth match that saw a couple early close calls on both sides, before the hall of famer turned back the clock and hit a War Dance followed by a Tomahawk Thrust to secure his team's first title defense.

Thantos (1) beat Commander Sam (0) via via Masterlock in 6 min ★
After Sam got an early jump on Thantos in almost seemed like we might see an upset in the making. But with the official looking elsewhere Thantos hit a low blow then sunk in a deep Masterlock for the the win.

Afterwards- Death Knight and Exo-King came out and jumped Sam, beating him down then throwing him threw a ringside table to the dismay of the crowd, with Omega, Star Warrior and Massif all racing to the ring to run off the Evil Ones. This one was really hard to watch- Sam was stretchered out as the rest of the Federation Defense looked on...

Gladiators beat Greek Gods via DECAPITATOR in 8 min ★
Actagon (4) Proteus (0), Brute (0) Massacre (0)
A shocker. Actagon got separated from his corner and the Gladiators just bombarded him with offense, eventually finishing him off while a frustrated Proteus never even got into the ring. This feels like the Gladiator team we've been expecting all year..

Flying Titans defeat Society of Death via backward leg sweep in 22 min ★
Nexus (0), Viper (0), Pulsar (1); Krakan (0), Mutant (2), Khan (0)
A whirlwind of a match with constant tags and action, it was tough to keep track of what was going on and who was the legal man. It ended with Pit Viper hitting Mutant with a backwards leg sweep and pulling the quick cover while there was chaos at ringside. The Titans celebrated but this one looks far from over...

GWF HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP: Star Warrior (2) beat Wolf (2) via NOVA LAUNCH in 24 min ★★★
A technical back and forth match that saw both men carefully countering the others finisher with the champ keeping his distance and then perfectly timing the Nova Launch for another successful title defense, and ensuring he would remain a two belt champ heading into 2088.

The show ended as Thantos came down to the ring and both he and Star Warrior went nose to nose as the crowd absolutely ate it up...

[lankylefty17]

With the first show of 2088 a few days away, the GWF held a press conference this afternoon to kick off the year. As expected, there were several big news items...

- It was officially that the main event of the companies next big show, STARGAZE, would be headlined by a Heavyweight Championship match pitting Star Warrior vs Thantos. This will be the first meeting between the two since the title was vacated before 2087.

- The GWF Board hinted that there were a large crop of new signings made that will likely debut in the coming months. Among them being the mystic Mesmer- who Star Warrior recruited from literally a different dimension, and Lord Nexus training partner Billy Jo Boxer. Sources seemed to confirm that all the major factions within the GWF will likely be looking to add fresh faces.

- There were also some cuts announced, as both Red Talon and Duke of Destruction did not have their contracts renewed. Red Talon is expected to retire, while Duke has been recovering from back surgery that may prevent a return to the ring in any form.

- And finally, an update was given regarding Commander Sam's injury. The popular veteran was said to be progressing well but was still a ways from getting clearance to return to the ring. Sources insist Sam has no plans to retire and in fact is said to be motivated to return with a renewed motivation.



The first card for 2088 was also announced:

Death Knight vs Omega
Greek Gods vs The Henchmen (Comrade Terror & Executioner's new tag team name)
Renegade vs Vanity
Mesmer vs Killer Queen
MAIN EVENT: TitanPower (Nexus & Boxer) vs Mutant & Ghengis Khan

LUNAR HOUSE SHOW #12
2088
Lunar Arena, Earth

Show opens up with a big Star Warrior and Thantos promo. Typical stuff, they still hate each other and Thantos promises to take his belt and humiliate him- and to help he's announcing his newly formed "Royal Court" Staring Exo King, Killer Queen, and Death Knight. To round it out, he'd be bringing in a "New Bishop". Crowd ate this up- this could be an all time great match if Thantos doesn't ambush Star Warrior beforehand.


Death Knight (0) defeated Omega (1) via COSMIC LANCE in 10 min ★
Decent opener, but man is Omega really starting to show his age. Death Knight was never in any real danger and basically waited for Omega to start to look gassed before hitting a Death Ride into a Cosmic Lance for the finish.

This contest was ruled a DRAW at 00:01:34 due to Double DQ in 6 min. DUD
All (0)
This one barely got started when both teams devolved into a full scale brawl outside the ring. Seems like the Greek Gods are still reeling from losing their belts, because this was very out of character of them. Will be interesting to see if this leads to another match...

Renegade (0) defeated Vanity (1) via SPINECRACKER in 13 min ★
A pretty by the books match, with Renegade getting early offense before Vanity made a comeback that was eventually stuffed- and the former Space Cropper ate two Spinecrackers before the match concluded.

After the match, suddenly appearing from under the ring was this giant beast of a dude who started beating the hell out of Renegade. What an ugly... something. Vanity got on the mic... called him The Creeper, a former "pet" of Beast Rider who was now his new partner and the future of the tag team division. This was all really weird...


Wolf came out to cut a promo, basically announcing an open challenge to anyone. Out came The Gladiators, who then announced their newest team member... SPIKE! This is one badass looking dude. Both he and Wolf had a stare down before all three Gladiators decided to triple team Wolf and beat him down. Crowd seemed sorta into Spike until the beat down, then it was all boos. Spike looked like he ate that up.


**Killer Queen (0) defeated Mesmer (0) via flying knee drop in 4 min DUD
Not a great debut for the mysterious Mesmer, who never saw that knee coming (though it was hard to see from this writers vantage, it did seem like Killer Queen may have thrown something in Mesmer's eyes). Killer Queen's celebration was short lived as a livid Mesmer immediately attacked the Royal Court member, with ringside officials needing to eventually separate both men.

MAIN EVENT: TitanPower defeat Society of Death via TKO in 12 min ★
Billy (0) Nexus (0); Mutant (4) Ghengis Khan (0)
A very impressive debut for TitanPower and the newest Titan, Billy Joe Boxer. the Titans dominated the entire match, with a combination Titan Drop followed by a TKO finishing off the Society of Death.

After the match we got yet another run in, this time by some big scary dude in a red mask, who clocked Lord Nexus and then beat down on Billy Joe before the rest of the Titans stormed the ring and ran him off to end the show. Not sure who this guy is but he definitely looks like a potential new member of Invincible Krakan's crew...



Next week’s card was announced:

LUNAR HOUSE SHOW #13
Invincible Krakan vs Billy Jo Boxer
Greek Gods vs The Henchmen
DEBUT MATCHES for The Creeper & Spike!

[lankylefty17]

LUNAR HOUSE SHOW #13
2088
Lunar Arena, Earth

Mesmer Promo opened the show, challenging anyone from this new "Royal Court" to come out and face him so he could prove his worth in the Federation Defense and vanquish Thantos' evil. Right away Exo-King stepped out to answer the challenge


Mesmer (0) defeated Exo-King (2) via BLACKOUT in 9 min ★
Mesmer puts on a much better outing than his debut, using his quickness to tire and confuse the bigger Exo-King. If he keeps putting on matches like this, Thantos is going to have more than just Star Warrior to worry about.

The Creeper (0) defeated Beast Rider (2) via heart punch in 4 min SQUASH
Wow. This Creeper guy just absolutely demolished Beast Rider. Afterwards both he and Vanity double teamed the half conscious Neptunian until Renegade came down to run them both off. Seems like a tag match is brewing here...

Billy Jo Boxer (2) defeated Invincible Krakan (3) via TKO in 12 min ★★★
A show stealer of a match. Krakan seemed to have things under control for most of the early going until Boxer started throwing fist bombs that the SoD leader could not separate from, eventually eating a huge TKO to give Billy Jo back to back wins.


All of Society of Death walked out to the ring for a big promo, with Invincible Krakan formally announcing that big dude in the red mask as the newest member. His name is Splatter, which somehow makes him that much more scary...


Spike (2) defeated Pulsar (0) via SUPER DESTROYER in 6 min ★
Pulsar got the crowd seriously behind him when he his a couple of Titan Drops to give some hope that we might have an upset, but Spike ended all thoughts of that when he turned the Titan inside out with a brutal Destroyer.

Spike wasn't done, laying into Pulsar until WOLF ran down as the crowd went nuts and Spike turned as both went nose to nose. Before anything could happen The Gladiators slipped into the ring and Wolf was again triple teamed, with the Gladiators all celebrating and leaving the ring with both Wolf and Pulsar needing medical attention...

Greek Gods defeat The Henchmen via GRECIAN SLEEPER GRIP in 16 min ★★
Proteus (1) Actagon (0); Terror (3) Executioner (1)
Proteus was isolated early, and it looked like the Henchmen were going to pull off an impressive win- but the Greek Gods finally got the hot tag and Actagon ran wild before sinking in the Sleeper Grip and continuously repositioning until Comrade Terror passed out.

Afterwards, Actagon got on the mic and called out Star Warrior and Omega, demanding a rematch at STARGAZE as the show ended.



Next week’s card was announced:

LUNAR HOUSE SHOW #14
Massif vs Killer Queen
Beauty & The Beast (Vanity & Creeper) vs Society of Death (Mutant & Khan)
