Card#1044.5
Maffei II The fans in the Maffei II arena exploded in excitement as the pyrotechnics erupted and marked the fact that the FTR is one card closer to the UPRISING: DEAD MEN TELL NO TALES event!
After the smoke cleared, Nitro (FTR Commissioner) climbed into the ring with a microphone and the arena waited with silent anticipation. "Ladies and gentlemen, this evening the FTR has a unique opportunity to submit three names to the GWF Board of Directors to take part in the Women's Titlerun Tournament!" Nitro paused.
"That means, three matches have been made between the six women we have in the FTR and the winners will participate in not only the BattleZone match on the upcoming XPLOSION but in this year's Cosmic Tours event!! Good luck ladies!" Nitro waved to the crowd and headed back to the locker room.
Blue Chip vs.
Sonny RocketSonny Rocket defeated Blue Chip with a coast to coast dropkick
Match Rating: 0.50
Match Notes: The arena's lights faded and two spotlights shined in the center of the entrance ramp.
"Turn Up The Trouble" blasted through the sound system and a frail looking individual with a blonde mullet emerged from the locker room area.
He stood in the center of the spotlighted area and held his hand up in the air toward the ceiling. Unexpectedly, an old school microphone spiralled down toward him until he grasped the device in his hands. He took an deap breath and held the microphone to his mouth.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I am here to reveal to you the man that will single handedly change UPRIZING as you know it! He weighs in at 197 pounds and hails from the star system of Orion....Miiiiiiiiiisssssssttttteeeerrrrrrr Roooccckkkkeeettt...Rocket!!!"
With that said, the individual walked to the squared circle to begin the first match. The Orion native made quick work of the FTR's poster boy! Sonny caught Blue Chip with a running head butt and followed up with a coast to coast dropkick for a successful debut!
**Woman's Titlerun Qualifier** Honey vs.
RheaHoney defeated Rhea with an I DON'T CARE
Match Rating: 1.50
Match Notes: "Sky's the Limit" blared as the Legit boss made her way to the squared circle (surprisingly on foot this time) and looked like she was all business. She needed to be as her opponent was none other than Nova's bodyguard, Rhea.
After the bell sounded, Rhea leapt at the Aniwoman and pummeled her from pillar to post for several minutes! The red diva lifted her opponent up for a powerbomb but Honey countered by punching Rhea in the head!
After Rhea released her opponent, Honey quickly executed a swinging neckbreaker and used her finisher - I DON'T CARE! for the stunning victory!
Astarte vs.
UranusAstarte defeated Uranus with a TRUE FUTURE SHOCK
Match Rating: 1.00
Match Notes: This bout was a quick one as Uranus had no answer for Astarte and the son of Janus would succumb quickly to his opponent's finisher-TRUE FUTURE SHOCK for a loss.
The arena's vidscreen illuminated and the roving vidcam broadcasted the FTR's number one contender (Crossbones) standing on the deck of an old ironsides ship. The Brymstonian didn't move or say anything as a slow thick fog rolled in from the water and slowly enveloped everything around him.
In a grizzled and steady tone, he spoke. "Disciple of Terror has been a great FTR Champion but the tide has finally came in. Cygnusian...it is time to pay the ferryman and dig deep inside yourself because not only is the Championship at stake but your very soul."
Crossbones paused and two shadows could be seen walking closer to him from within the fog. One looked like he had the head of a hammerhead shark and the other wore a mask that appeared to be made out of whale bone. The two figures stood next to the Brymstonian as he concluded, "From the Depths, DEADMEN TELL NO TALES!"
The three slowly turned and walked into the fog until they could no longer be seen.
**Woman's Titlerun Qualifier** Moonlight vs.
NovaNova defeated Moonlight with a STAR BRIGHT
Match Rating: 0.00
Match Notes: These two have tangled before and Moonlight once again fell short! Rhea distracted the referee and Nova hit Moonlight with what looked like brass knuckles! When the referee turned around, Nova performed STAR BRIGHT to garner the three count.
Ocean Express vs.
The NativesKrud defeated Cephalopodis with a disqualification
Match Rating: 0.00
Match Notes: The team of Ocean Express made their way to the ring signing the plushies as usual and continue to be a fan favorite. However, the Natives grew tired of waiting for the two to start the match and attacked the Ocean Express on the ring floor!
The four fought for a few minutes and rolled into the ring just long enough for the referee to sound the bell before rolling back out onto the arena floor. Cephlapodis lost his cool and would blast Krud with a steel chair!
The referee had no choice but to disqualify King Tux and the "Cuddle Fish" and award the match to The Natives by disqualification.
Swerve vs.
VacantSwerve defeated Vacant with a TITAN DROP
Match Rating: 0.50
Match Notes: Vacant seemed preoccupied with himself and kept mumbling to himself. The bipolar Titan took full advantage of his opponent's preoccupied mental state and would execute a textbook TITAN DROP to win the bout.
The arena's vidscreen clicked on and a deep voice began to speak while a montage of past FTR events flashed on the screen. "You have tried to rise but have failed...(a still of Disciple of Terror pinning Captain Crossbones at UPRIZING: FIGHT OR FLIGHT)! You have rose to the peak and can only fall...(a still picture of Disciple of Terror being the recipient of a PLANTATION PLUNGE by Plethador at UPRIZING: PRIDE & PREJUDICE)!
At Champions Hall on Ceres, the pendulum will swing in favor of those who find a way to win! Brace yourselves...as on Card#1046.5, the FTR brings... UPRIZING: DEAD MEN TELL NO TALES!
**Woman's Titlerun Qualifier** Chameleon vs.
"Stunning" Steph"Stunning" Steph defeated Chameleon with a STUN GUN
Match Rating: 1.00
Match Notes: Chameleon manhandled "Stunning" Steph and taunted the diva throughout. The leader of The Plantation would attempt a pin but would pull Steph off the mat by the hair to break up the count!
Chameleon played up to the crowd and this was the opening that "Stunning One" needed! BLAM! A STUN GUN and a cover...1-2-3!!! Steph quickly exited the squared circle and headed to the back.
Chameleon threw a "hissy fit" and demanded the microphone. Mysteriously a low chant of "It starts with Man's food...then Man's clothes...and finally Man's corruption" repeatedly could be heard through out the segment.
"The Plantation has become weak and everyone is preying on the ultimate predators of this man infested federation! No longer will we be the sheep being lead around! The Plantation has scores to settle and the first to fall will be those heathens, Maxxus!"
The arena erupted as she mentioned the Maxxus name and this seemed to infuriate Chameleon! "The last UPRIZING event, those two used fire and a guitar sting to subdue my boys...Retribution will come...Retribution will come in the form of...Circunus Cell Match!"
The Matriarch dropped the microphone as the crowd roared their approval.
Conquerors of the Galaxy vs.
Mad MaxusTotally Awesome defeated Murtak with an AWESOME FINISHER
Match Rating: 0.25
Match Notes: The match was over in a matter of a minute as Totally Awesome caught Murtak with a running clothesline and followed with the TOTALLY AWESOME finisher!
The musclebound member of Mad Maxxus covered Murtak while looking at the camera and telling Chameleon that her challenge was accepted.
