GWF: Rebirth.

[vx]

Wow, I blinked and the Star Warrior-Spike match was over!

OWOOO! Squish! Exo-King smushed Wolf. I think alot of fans are happy with that result. There seems to be quite the anti-Wolf crowd here.

[Biggin]

I had to LOL reading vx's response. I was at a game store today and the miniatures players there kept referring to various models as "squishy" due to their high mortality rate. From here on out I won't be able to shake the impression of Wolf as "squishy."

Keep up the good work, Mawson! You've got a great thing going here!

- Singles Bout -
Omega vs. Mutant
Omega defeated Mutant with a Disqualification at 7:40
Match Rating: 3.75
Match Notes: Omega started well, showing that experience and solid wrestling skills gave him an edge over his rather limited opponent. However, Mutant was in the mood to fight, he kicked out of a couple of pinning situations and came close to forcing a submission with his TEMPLE GRINDER.
When the bout spilled out of the ring, so Mutant's understanding of the rules seemed to lapse. He used the ring steps, lifting them over his head and hurling them at Omega, who thankfully was able to dodge aside.
The swing of a steel chair though did catch the legend and sent him sprawling, the referee had seen enough however and called for the bell.

- Singles Bout -
Pit Viper vs. Executioner
Executioner defeated Pit Viper with a face claw at 6:34
Match Rating: 3.25
Match Notes: Pit Viper started the bout with the first offensive move, it was also his last as Executioner simply and utterly dominated.
This wasn't a match, it was a dismantling. The poor Titan was made to look completely out of his depth by the wily villain.
When the end came it was no surprise, more a mercy killing.

- Tag Team Bout -
Bomb Squad vs. Animal Magic
Incredible Badger defeated Commander Sam with a Death Dive at 5:10
Match Rating: 3.25
Match Notes: The Animen made a solid start to their careers in the GWF, ok so Incredible Badger did most of the work as Reptillo struggled with the intensity of competition here.
They were also accorded a fine welcome by the fans who seemed to take to them immediately.
Badger showed his quality and put in a match winning performance, he immediately showed that he would raise his game to the levels expected in the GWF.
With the former AWA Champion still to join the federation, there seemed to be a real belief that the Animen represented a new stage in the GWF's growth.

- Singles Bout -
Renegade vs. Ghengis Khan
Renegade defeated Ghengis Khan with a Double knee lift at 3:03
Match Rating: 3.00
Match Notes: This time around Renegade deserved his win, he may have stolen one last time around but tonight was an entirely different story.
Ghengis Khan just didn't show the same drive as he had the week before and allowed himself to be dominated.
With two wins on the trot in his favour it seems that Renegade has made his point, he'll now be seeking to push on with his good form and test his skills against the elite in the federation.

- Singles Bout -
Invincible Krakan vs. Beast-Rider
Invincible Krakan defeated Beast-Rider with a FALLING FACE SLAM at 11:02
Match Rating: 1.00
Match Notes: Krakan made hard work of an encounter he was expected to win easily.
The match-up may have lasted a time, but there was very little quality on show. While Beast-Rider tried everything to gain an edge he lacked the ability to do so. Meanwhile, Krakan just seemed wholly under motivated and seemed that he couldn't be bothered.
Finally with the win recorded Krakan stormed from the ring with a face like thunder. Something clearly had got under his skin, it remains to be seen whats going on with the man.

- Tag Team Bout -
Greek Gods vs. Norse Gods
Proteus defeated Man-Mountain with an OVERHEAD TOSS at 1:46
Match Rating: 1.00
Match Notes: Things just aren't going well for the Norse Gods! They got a shot here at the Greek Gods, the team they'd made a big noise about coming after.
However, the rookie team were soundly humiliated in short order.
There was nothing positive to report on their performance, Proteus and Actagon barely had to break sweat so completely dominant they were.
Wrestling fans of some note will know both Lightening and Man-Mountain from their previous gimmicks in a recently defunct fed.
They need to very quickly prove that they are worthy of a slot in the GWF.

- Singles Bout -
Spike vs. Massif
Massif defeated Spike with a VOLCANIC DROP at 4:51
Match Rating: 3.50
Match Notes: Revenge was sweet for Massif, rarely have we seen him so motivated and driven to win a bout. Tonight he really went for it and to Spike's credit he met the giant head on.
The greater strength of Massif was the real difference maker here, on this occasion he made it really count and wore down the Gladiators resistance to the point that he was truly set up for a huge VOLCANIC DROP. The ring shaking move brought the three count and a heartfelt celebration from the giant.
With rumour circulating that the final PPV of the year would feature a fatal four-way for the title, every win is becoming priceless for those hoping to be in contention.

- Singles Bout -
Lord Nexus vs. Bishop Hell
Bishop Hell defeated Lord Nexus with a HELLFIRE at 6:26
Match Rating: 3.75
Match Notes: There it is, the HELLFIRE! Though the referee missed it as clearly it made the difference and gave Bishop Hell the win.
The two men had fought evenly and in fairness things were starting to turn in the favour of Lord Nexus, his superior agility giving him an edge as the battle drew on.
Perhaps it was this that encouraged the evil one to launch his feared finisher. Whatever the reason, the effect was devastating, in an instant Nexus was down and in agony, not a prayer of kicking out.
The era of the HELLFIRE has arrived, its aura of fear in full effect.

Overall Card Rating: 2.81

[vx]

Yes! The era of HELLFIRE has arrived! Great stuff. Massif and Spike looks like a great matchup.

Pit Viper, injured two cards.


- Doc Strongbow's News Roundup. -
Hello and welcome back to the GWF.
We are just weeks away from the end of the year, 2088 is just around the corner and what a year it promises to be!
The final PPV of the year Apocalypse 2087 is only a couple of weeks away, we already know that the Galaxian Title will be decided in a fatal four way encounter.
There's a lot up for grabs between then and now, both a place in that four way bout and of course the right to battle the mighty Gladiators for the tag titles.
Expect fireworks folks, lets get this thing started.

- Singles Bout -
Pulsar vs. Killer Queen
Pulsar defeated Killer Queen with a WHIRLWIND at 13:25
Match Rating: 3.50
Match Notes: It took a total of three WHIRLWIND finishers to bring Pulsar a great victory. He hit the first in the early going, but Killer Queen kicked out with authority.
When the second of them landed in the midst of the bout, it very nearly resulted in the pin. But it took several minutes more until the decisive third WHIRLWIND decided the matter.
Queen always looked a little over confident here, he was carried to the ring in a luxurious sedan chair by four burly women. An exotic entrance by the flambouyant one, it seems he put more effort into his entrance than preparing for the match. He paid the price.


- Tag Team Bout -
Bomb Squad vs. The Henchmen
Comrade Terror defeated Adam Blast with a Cross-body block at 12:14
Match Rating: 3.75
Match Notes: This close encounter saw all four men spending good time in the ring, it was Commander Sam who first gained an advantage. He put the beat on Executioner which culminated in both men going down after a thunderous double clothesline.
Terror and Sam renewed their long standing feud and exchanged a series of brutal attacks as the bout progressed.
Late in the encounter Terror hit his ATOMIC WARHEAD on Adam Blast, that should have been the end of it but Sam made the save. Just a minute or two later Adam fell victim to a great Cross-body block, this time Sam was prevented from interfering and the result entered the record books.

- Singles Bout -
Invincible Krakan vs. Omega
Invincible Krakan defeated Omega with a Krakan Skullcrusher at 15:51
Match Rating: 4.00
Match Notes: Omega survived three pin attempts, including a FALLING FACE SLAM. The legend managed to keep the bout competitive throughout, though he spent the majority of it on the defensive.
It would be fair to say that Omega never really looked like winning, but still he put on a great display and rolled back the years to some degree.
Krakan looked on the verge of disqualification a couple of times as he lost patience with his inability to put Omega away.
The fans always seem to delight in seeing the veteran compete, particularly when he brings his top form.

- Singles Bout -
Wolf vs. Vanity
Wolf defeated Vanity with a SAVAGE FACE CLAW at 8:08
Match Rating: 3.00
Match Notes: As expected Wolf dominated most of the bout, he spent most of the bout beating Vanity to a pulp! That's not to say that the flambouyant villain was a pushover, he certainly had his moments, a couple of times he managed to put together some good attacks of his own.
Perhaps Wolf could have gone for his SAVAGE FACE CLAW earlier, though he seemed to enjoy letting the encounter drag on. The wildman living up to his reputation as a lover of a battle!
With the blood of his fallen opponent on his claws, Wolf climbed the turnbuckle and wiped that stain over his chest while issuing his loud and familiar battle cry.

- Tag Team Bout -
Animal Magic vs. Norse Gods
Incredible Badger defeated Man-Mountain with an ANDROMEDA DROP at 1:18
Match Rating: 1.50
Match Notes: Another poor showing from the Norse Gods. They did little of any value in this bout. Man Mountain threw Badger out of the ring, that was pretty much the total offensive input from the Gods.
The Animen showed a great sense of team work as they caught their giant opponent with the ANDROMEDA DROP. Lightening made an effort to break up the pin but was stopped in his tracks.
These two teams have had very different starts to their GWF careers in terms of success.

- Singles Bout -
Bishop Hell vs. Massif
Bishop Hell defeated Massif with a HELLFIRE at 17:24
Match Rating: 5.00
Match Notes: This epic encounter was an absolute classic! Bishop Hell survived the VOLCANIC DROP, proving that he has a will to win and the heart of a champion.
Massif landed a series of power moves, enough to maybe have defeated a lesser opponent, Hell was able to break up those attacks with some offence of his own.
Finally the two men collided in the middle of the ring as they both went for a huge clothesline. Perhaps as expected Massif was first to his feet and moved to lift Bishop Hell into the VOLCANIC DROP yet again, but the Bishop was playing possum and unleashed his HELLFIRE before rolling up the giant for a swift three count.

- Singles Bout -
Star Warrior vs. Exo-King
Star Warrior defeated Exo-King with a Disqualification at 10:11
Match Rating: 4.00
Match Notes: This bout raged at a furious pace, there was no letting up at any point. For the full duration of the match-up there was no pin attempt, just a series of exchanged moves and strikes.
Neither man was able to put together any truly decisive offence and it was no surprise that tempers frayed in such a competitive environment.
With the action spilling out of the ring, Exo-King whirled a chair at Star Warrior, it only caught the heroes shoulder a glancing blow as he dodged aside, but that was enough for the referee to call for the bell.

Overall Card Rating: 3.54

[Sam Fain]

Still really enjoying this fed. The gradual debuts for the 2088 guys has been great to track. Can't wait to see the rest, especially now that the calendar is getting ready to flip for you.

Thanks for the results!

[Mawson]

Thanks Tiger,

I'm having a lot of fun with this, its really great to go back to the early days!

[Crimson Cross]

The Henchmen winning is cool, I like the name Animal Magic and too bad Massif lost, but a really good fed rolling out here...

[vx]

Great match between Bishop Hell and Massif. They had a great feud for my IP Title.

- Injury and Suspension Update. -
Pit Viper, injured for one card.

- Doc Strongbow's News Roundup. -
Welcome fans to the last regular GWF broadcast of the year. This is also my last card as your Commissioner, after Monday nights PPV "Apocalypse 2087" I shall be stepping down and handing the reigns over to Zachary Carter.
After tonights matches, I shall be deciding who will be taking part in the Fatal Four way at Apocalypse for the GWF title.
The rest of the bouts at Apocalypse will be decided by Commissioner Carter, together we'll be managing the evening. Thereafter I shall be concentrating on bringing you the latest news here in the GWF.

Looking to tonight, I can't wait to see Wolf and Bishop Hell go head to head, this promises to be a real classic of an encounter. We've seen the HELLFIRE a few times now, and it remains perhaps the most feared finisher in the federation. But Wolf has never been one to shy away from a challenge!

I've enjoyed my time as commissioner and I want to say a huge thank you to the fans for their continued support. I'd also like to thank the majority of our superstars here for the marvelous entertainment they've brought us.
To Thantos, I've nothing more to say than I hope you meet your match at Apocalypse.

- Singles Bout -
Beast-Rider vs. Vanity
Vanity defeated Beast-Rider with a PULVERIZER at 0:40
Match Rating: 0.50
Match Notes: This was a simple win for Vanity, in under a minute he had it the record books.
Beast-Rider hardly put up a fight as he was completely overpowered by the flamboyant one.
The brief nature of the bout was hardly the best way to start the evening and left a restless crowd expecting more from the night ahead.
Vanity though celebrated with gusto, as ever making the most of every opportunity to show off and indulge his massive ego.

- Singles Bout -
Omega vs. Death Knight
Omega defeated Death Knight with a TOMAHAWK THRUST at 1:53
Match Rating: 1.00
Match Notes: Omega dominated here from the outset, he took advantage of a clumsy initial attack by Death Knight and came back with a much more focused offence of his own.
The lack of skill demonstrated by the villain was obvious as he struggled to get a foot hold in the encounter.
When the end came it was greeted with a raucous whoop of delight from most of the fans, a short bout it may have been but Omega's popularity remains high.
- Tag Team Bout -
Greek Gods vs. The Henchmen
Comrade Terror defeated Actagon with a backward leg at 15:47
Match Rating: 4.50
Match Notes: Wow, suddenly the whole feel of the evening changed with this magnificent encounter. Both teams gave it everything as they fought for the win, the intensity of the event kept the audience on the edge of their seats and offering noisy support throughout.
While the Greek Gods put in a hell of an effort, the Henchmen always seemed to just about have the upper hand. Comrade Terror was the pick of the four men, he hit both of the Gods with his Atomic Warhead a couple of times.
With the win recorded both of the Henchmen gloated to the fans, earning only a chorus of boos as they made their way from the arena.

- Singles Bout -
Invincible Krakan vs. Pulsar
Invincible Krakan defeated Pulsar with a FALLING FACE SLAM at 2:10
Match Rating: 2.00
Match Notes: As was expected Krakan took a straight forward win over the young Titan.
The mismatch of a bout was brief and to the point with Krakan dominating from start to finish.
The ever eager Pulsar made every effort to make an impact but was thwarted at each turn. His popularity remains as high as ever and shows no sign of dimming.
Now that Apocalypse is just days away, the race to be involved in the Fatal Four Way for the title is hotting up, Krakan made a great show of miming the belt about his waist after taking the victory.

- Singles Bout -
Exo-King vs. Renegade
Renegade defeated Exo-King with a SPINECRACKER at 11:46
Match Rating: 3.75
Match Notes: Renegade took an excellent win over the powerful villain. The bout was closely competed from the beginning and either man could have taken the victory.
Exo-King had every opportunity to put Renegade away in the early going, yet somehow he passed up a couple of good pinning positions to continue the beating.
When finally, Renegade turned the tables and took the upper hand it came as a shock to everyone in attendance, the SPINECRACKER proving the decisive moment in a great match.

- Tag Team Bout -
Bomb Squad vs. Animal Magic
Incredible Badger defeated Adam Blast with an Ani-Men Ax Handle at 9:12
Match Rating: 3.25
Match Notes: It was left to Incredible Badger to do most of the work for the win here. Reptillo seems to be struggling to adapt to the level of competition here in the GWF.
Sam and Adam showed good team work skills here as they had the best of the bout for long periods.
Several times Reptillo was lucky to escape a pin predicament and relied on his partner to save him.
The level of ability showed by Badger was a real key indicator that he may be a real talent for the future.

- Singles Bout -
Massif vs. Lord Nexus
Massif defeated Lord Nexus with a VOLCANIC DROP at 6:42
Match Rating: 5.00
Match Notes: This was an epic encounter, both men battling hard and giving everything. Nexus started the better and hit his TITAN DROP twice before Massif began to turn the tables.
However, Nexus wasn't about to go down without a fight, he survived two VOLCANIC DROPS and still managed to battle back valiantly.
When Massif crunched his opponent with his finisher for the third time in the match it was all over. Finally the Titan was unable to kick out and the bigger man sealed the win, it was good to see a shake of hands at the end between the two heroes.

- Singles Bout -
Wolf vs. Bishop Hell
Bishop Hell defeated Wolf with a HELLFIRE at 6:50
Match Rating: 3.50
Match Notes: Wolf was the first man to survive the HELLFIRE, although the very moment he kicked out Bishop Hell blasted him with the illegal move again! This time there was no escape and the three count followed.
How the referee managed to miss the HELLFIRE on both occasions is a mystery.
The wildman was left sprawled on the ring floor clutching his face, before making it to his feet and groping about the ring blindly, seeking to sink his claws into the victorious villain.
It was to no avail as a chorus of boos followed Hell from the ring, quickly he's becoming one of the most hated men in the federation.

Overall Card Rating: 2.94
