2125 4 01.22.2125 from The Arena
- Swarm fights the Law - Sly Drury comes to the ring to begin the show. He wastes no time ordering Swarm to come out and join him. Sly begins ranting at Swarm, telling him how he made a fool of Sly, the GWF, and himself with his words directed at Spartacus Hand. Sly tells him he's got one chance and one chance only to apologize. Swarm does not even hesitate before saying, "I apologize.....to every one of the GWF fans and all of the employees of Spartacus Industries......for not walking up to that luxury box and punching Spartacus Hand in the face!" Sly is furious and says it's time to do things Mr. Hand's way then. Drury motions and GWF security grabs Swarm by the arms. As Swarm struggles Sly decks him with a pair of brass knucks.
With Swarm down and struggling to get to his feet, things go from bad to worse for him as Sly welcomes IRON HAND to come to the ring. Sly tells Swarm that this is Spartacus Hand's pride and joy, the top of the line from Spartacus Industries, and neither he nor Mr. Hand are people to be messed with. Iron Hand picks up Swarm and delivers I RUN THIS FED. Suddenly MANTIS runs out to try to help his father. He takes down two members of GWF Security and tries to no avail to pull Iron Hand off of Swarm. That's when SYMBIOSIS comes to the ring and attacks Mantis. With both father and son laid out in the middle of the ring Sly tells security to take Swarm out of the building once again, but informs Mantis that he has a match coming up next.
Mantis vs. Symbiosis Symbiosis defeated Mantis with a Death Valley Driver Match Rating: 3.00 Match Notes: Mantis put up a good fight, but he was no match for the power and brutality of Symbiosis. The newcomer had a few rough moments, but was never in any danger of losing the match.
Ensor vs. Coven Black Ensor defeated Coven Black with an ERUPTION OF THARSIS Match Rating: 2.00 Match Notes: A somewhat brief, but spectacular, match ended when Enson hit his finisher on Coven for the clean pin to take his record to 2-0 against the newcomer. This time, however, Black was not as casual about the loss. In fact, he attacked Ensor from behind and began biting him on the neck. The referee could not get him to release his grip on the Federation Defense Fighter and blood began to flow. That drove Coven into a frenzy and he went off the deep end, chasing after the referee and attacking anyone and everything in sight until Paganax came to the ring to control him.
- Paganax - Paganax marches to the ring, followed by the other members of his Rogue's Gallery. He grabs Coven by the back of the neck and tosses him into the corner, ordering him to control his bloodlust. Coven growls, then wipes the blood from his mouth and his unusually cool demeanor is restored. As this is happening Endgame comes out to tend to Ensor. He makes sure the Martian is alright, then tries to get in the ring to go after Coven but is held at bay by Bishop and Nosfera.
Paganax takes the mic and addresses the FDF leader. He says Endgame is right, he DOES have other reasons for being in the GWF. But those are his reasons and his alone and all the GWF needs to know is that he is here to dominate everyone who stands in his way and lead his "new tribe" to total dominance over the FDF. Bishop Hell shoots fire into the air behind Paganax's left shoulder and Nosfera sprays his "Demon's Breath" on the opposite side while Coven Black stands coldly off to the side.
Endgame responds by saying he has heard Paganax was an honorable, but ruthless, leader on Primus. However, he's aligned himself with a group of thugs and that puts him in their class in the eyes of the FDF. That means he has to be stopped. The other three Rogues begin to advance on Endgame, but Paganax orders them to stay back. he says tonight he will meet Endgame one-on-one and his men will keep away from the ring, but after that all deals are off and if Endgame wants to number him among the "thugs" he will get exactly what he has asked for.
- Infinity Challenge - Vidtek vs. Gryt Vidtek defeated Gryt with a BIG TIME Match Rating: 1.00 Match Notes: Vidtek started quick and never really let up. Gryt had a brief moment of offense, but Vidtek recovered fast and ended up putting the wannabe strongman away with the BIG TIME leg drop.
- Women's title match - Mother Superior vs. Phantasy for the GWF Women's Championship Mother Superior defeated Phantasy with a DIVIDED WE FALL at 13:49 Match Rating: 4.00 Match Notes: Phantasy gave it her all in this title match, but the unequaled champion continued her long title reign and gained some measure of revenge for her current boss and her team by beating Dark Menace's double agent.
- Infinity Challenge Match - Air Strike vs. The Kroll Tristan defeated Thraxx with a TITAN POWER at 2:36 Match Rating: 1.00 Match Notes: The surprising teamwork of the makeshift duo caught the more experienced team off-guard and Tristand pinned Thraxx in less than three minutes. The fans were thrilled, the Kroll team was stunned, and Tristan and Malkuth looked like a real tag team threat at the end of this one.
- Dark Menace - Dark Menace appears in the ring. He warns that if Overmaster had anything to do with Monolith's "accident", as it appears he did, then nothing will save him when Monolith DOES come back to the GWF. For now, he says, he has put together the team to deal with anything the Gladiators can throw at them this year. He sarcastically congratulates Turmoil and Rush for winning the tag team championship in their first match as a team, but says Havoc learned a lot of valuable information in that match that his new team intends to use against them. With that he brings out The Ultimate Fighters. Shoot and Clinch come to the ring and throw out the typical threats about tapping out or passing out and the Gladiators getting knocked out and carried out when Rush and Turmoil charge the ring. Menace splits quick and an epic brawl breaks out. Paralyze and Anivar come bursting through the curtain, but GWF Security is out in full force to restore order. Sly Drury makes an appearance and orders everyone to the back, saying they'll have their match later tonight in the ring where they can cripple each other if they want, as long as the GWF can make money from it.
Ultimate Fighters and Anivar vs. Rush and Turmoil and Paralyze Clinch defeated Paralyze with a top rope forearm Match Rating: 3.75 Match Notes: This was more of a smash-mouth brawl than a wrestling match. All six men were taken to the limit. In the end Paralyze was on top of things in the ring with Shoot when he missed an ill-advised deathjump. Shot tagged out to Clinch who went right up to the top rope and stunned Paralyze with a flying forearm shot to get the pin.
Endgame vs. Paganax Endgame defeated Paganax with a ROLLING FIGURE FOUR Match Rating: 3.00 Match Notes: Paganax tried to push Endgame around at the beginning, but the legend would not be intimidated. The action went back and forth throughout the match until Endgame managed to lock in his Rolling Figure Four. Paganax was clearly in pain, but would not submit. Finally his shoulders fell to the mat and the referee counted the three to give Endgame the victory.
Overall Card Rating: 2.75

2125 5 01.29.2125 from Phobos, Mars
- The Legends Of The Ring, minus 1 - Hector, Payback, Thantos, and Sultana come out to start the show. Hector wastes no time saying he wants a rematch with Overmaster. He says that what Sly did in ordering his security team to interfere didn't seem very sportsmanlike or gentlemanly at all. He adds that Sly would hate for Hector to be ungentlemanly, too, and talk about all of the things best kept private. Payback takes over and says that's all fine and good for Hector, but he needs to talk about what happened to Swarm last week. Payback says Endgame wanted everyone in this ring on his side for a reason, and it's the same reason he didn't want them on his team; he knows that they'll do whatever it takes to get the job done, even if it means bending or breaking a few rules along the way. He promises Swarm will do just that next week when he comes back and Payback will be right next to him every step of the way. Sultana speaks up and says that tonight is the start of the beginning of the end for Sly Drury and his men. She says that no matter what happens tonight the war won't be won or lost in one day, but it will be won in time and it will be won by Thantos and the Legends Of The Ring. Thantos finishes by berating Encubus, calling him "pathetic" and saying that the gate is about to close on the career of the "Encubus, pretender to the throne" once and for all.
Retribution vs. Nosfera Retribution defeated Nosfera with a disqualification Match Rating: 3.50 Match Notes: The longtime rivals continued their series of intense matches with a fight full of action from bell to bell. Nosfera took the advantage, then Retribution took the lead. It went back and forth until Omen got kicked out of the ringside area for trying to interfere to break a submission attempt. Nosfera never really got back into the match and finally blew DEMON'S BREATH at Retribution on the arena floor. Retribution ducked and Nosfera retreated as the ref called for the bell and awarded the bout to Retribution.
The Betrayer vs. Tauran The Betrayer defeated Tauran with a BLACK BETRAYAL Match Rating: 3.00 Match Notes: Tauran was still feeling the effects from his last run-in with Bishop Hell but put up a valiant fight nonetheless. He kicked out of 5 pin attempts during the match, but the sixth (and third time Betrayer used his finisher) finally kept him down for the three count and gave Betrayer the upset victory.
- Bishop Hell makes himself known - Betrayer is celebrating his upset win in the aisle when BISHOP HELL comes up from behind and hits him with HELLFIRE. Betrayer writhes in pain as Bishop steps into the ring. He screams at Taran, "You lost to that.....creepy.....thing?" in disgust. He charges up Hellfire and gets ready for Tauran to get up, but RETRIBUTION runs out with chair in hand and chases Bishop away.
- Infinity Challenge - Men Of Honor vs. The Longshots Bloodline defeated Plethador with a Tomahawk Thrust at 1:14 Match Rating: 0.00 Match Notes: Plethador insisted Scimitar let him start so he could "watch and learn". He tried a few moves on US Male, but was quickly countered. US tagged out to Bloodline, sent Pleth into the ropes, and Bloodline used a Tomahawk Thrust for the very quick win. Scimitar was very unimpressed and walked away before his "partner" even got up off the mat.
Payback vs. Patch Patch defeated Payback with a Patchwork Rack Match Rating: 3.50 Match Notes: Payback threw everything in his arsenal at Patch, but did nearly as much damage to himself in the process, including once missing EXVENGE which almost ended the bout early. In the end Payback set Patch up on a table on the floor, then got back into the ring and did a running plancha over the ropes that broke the table in two. Payback rolled back into the ring and, as the ref was checking on him, Patch grabbed a fragment of the broken table. Payback went to pull Patch back into the ring, but Patch jabbed him in the eye with the broken table piece. Patch got back in and used a Patchwork Torture Rack drop to pick up the win.
- Infinity Challenge - Panther Warrior vs. Nitro Panther Warrior defeated Nitro with a JUNGLE NIGHTS Match Rating: 0.50 Match Notes: Nitro turned his back on Panther Warrior at the bell to appeal to the crowd for support and when he turned around he walked right into a sidewalk slam. The tenacious Animan went on to use the Claws Of The Cat, a dropkick moonsault, and JUNGLE NIGHTS to make quick work of the cocky Titan.
- Gladiators - Overmaster leads his men Turmoil and Rush to the ring. He says Paralyze is back on Aethra tonight being put through the harshest of training in response to falling in battle last week and vows that it won't happen again. He says the luck has run out for the "so-called" Ultimate Fighters and the real welcome to the GWF is set to begin. As far as Hector is concerned, he adds, Sly and he have no fear of The Holy Brown Bear and he is insulted that Hector would insinuate that Overmaster needed help from Sly Drury or his men. He insists on a rematch, only this time he wants it to be a Titan Death Match with no one allowed at ringside so Hector will have no excuses as to why he was humbled once more.
Clinch vs. Turmoil Turmoil defeated Clinch with a TOTAL TURMOIL Match Rating: 3.00 Match Notes: Violence from bell to bell is the only way to describe this match. Brutal strikes were countered by more brutal strikes and the bout saw heavy action outside of the ring. Clinch seemed ready to get the win when Turmoil rolled out of the ring to regroup. When he did he caught his opponent off guard and turned things around, picking up the victory with one Total Turmoil.
Thantos vs. Encubus Encubus defeated Thantos with a MASTERLOCK Match Rating: 4.00 Match Notes: Both men had something to prove this night and used every bit of energy they had to try to prove it. Thantos dominated much of the match and seemed to have an answer for everything Encubus tried. Finally, however, the experience advantage paid off, as Thantos was distracted by Mother Superior. Encubus found his opening and exploited it. Sultana ran around the ring and chased Mother Superior away, but Encubus went to work on the leg of Thantos then slapped on the MASTERLOCK. Thantos held out for longer than most would have been able to, but finally had to submit and give the match to Encubus.
Overall Card Rating: 2.50

Thantos vs. EncubusEncubus defeated Thantos with a MASTERLOCK ... Irony... classic irony. Definitely. I'd love to do a "Masterlock challenge", but it seems that someone else already beat me to it. Ah, I'll probably do it eventually, anyway. at any rate......... Card #6 preview- Swarm will be back in action against Symbiosis. Swarm is promising revenge for the beatdown Symbiosis administered to Swarm's son Mantis. No one on Sly Drury's team is safe now that Swarm is "buzzing mad". (sorry ;D) -The Infinity Challenge continues as Tanck looks to continue his momentum now that he's out from under the big top as he takes on "Real American" Guy Andrews. And in other Challenge action, Rotunda takes on She Devil. - Coven Black lost the match but won the war with a post-match attack on Ensor last time they met. Can Coven finally beat Ensor in the ring where it counts? Or will he fall to 0-3 against the Federation Defense Fighter? - Retribution saved his partner Tauran from a potentially tragic altercation with Bishop Hellon the last show. Now Retribution and Bishop will meet one-on-one in the ring and Bishop has promised to burn the big man. Will Retribution be able to fend off Hellfire, or will Bishop's winning ways continue? - Paralyze sat out a week as he was back on Aethra being put through his paces after the loss to The Ultimate Fighters and Anivar. He is out for revenge and Anivar may find himself on the wrong end of an angry Gladiator. - Hector The Holy Brown Bear has seemingly blackmailed his way into a return match for the GWF Championship again Aethran Overmaster. And Overmaster has upped the ante himself by making it a Titan Death Match. However, Sly Drury has promised to have the last word where Hector is concerned. We shall see how this plays out.

2125 6 05.02.2125 from Luna, Earth
- Infinity Challenge - American Guy vs. Tanck Tanck defeated American Guy with a pin after a missed charge into the corner Match Rating: 3.50 Match Notes: Smash mouth wrestling at it's finest. Either man could've won, both almost did. In the end Guy charged Tanck in the corner, Tanck moved, and Guy hit the buckles hard. Tanck quickly took advantage and got the pin.
- Tricks and Oracle - After the match Tricks and Oracle came out as Tanck was in the ring flexing and celebrating his win. Tanck stopped and eyed his former teammates suspiciously as Tricks spoke. He said Tanck was sure on a roll lately, and he's had a lot to say about how he's got something to prove. Tricks asks if Tanck really feels like he was mismanaged in the Dark Carnival. Before Tanck can answer Tricks pulls the mic away and tells him to answer carefully because he "doesn't like being made to look like a clown." Tanck snatched the mic back forcefully and said HE doesn't like being made into a sideshow act and maybe Oracle can predict what he's about to say. Tricks went for the lapel flower, but Tanck drew back to deck him first. Tricks ducked and slid out of the ring, with Oracle close behind. Tricks laughed and said there were so many interesting questions about to be answered, then turned and walked away.
- Infinity Challenge - She Devil vs. Rotunda Rotunda defeated She Devil with a Rotunda whips his opponent into the ring pole! at 17:52 Match Rating: 2.75 Match Notes: Rotunda's winning streak continues. She Devil was unable to put her larger opponent away and got frustrated. She paid for that frustration with a loss via disqualification.
After the bout She Devil was leaving as Coven Black was coming to the ring. Their eyes met and She Devil stopped in her tracks. Coven slowly circled her as she stood in the aisle and stopped behind her to whisper something in her ear. She glanced back and smiled, then made her way to the locker rooms.
Ensor vs. Coven Black Ensor defeated Coven Black with a disqualification due to team interference Match Rating: 1.50 Match Notes: Ensor jumped Coven before the bell and simply unloaded on him. He hit every high-powered move in his arsenal and Coven couldn't even respond. He did, however, impressively manage to withstand several big move and kick out when it looked like sure defeat. Finally Ensor hit ERUPTION OF THARSIS and went for the pin when Paganax led Nosfera and Bishop Hell to the ring. The Heathen Chief instructed as his men went on the attack. Ensor tried to fight them off to no avil. Finally Retribution, Tauran, and Endgame came out and a big brawl broke out.
Security managed to break it up, but Bishop Hell and Retribution stayed and continued to fight. Since their scheduled match was next a referee ran out and called for the bell.
Retribution vs. Bishop Hell Bishop Hell defeated Retribution with a Flying Cross Match Rating: 2.00 Match Notes: Bishop attempted to set up HELLFIRE twice and failed. At one point Retribution reversed out of a shoulder breaker attempt and looked like he would score the win with a big running power bomb, but Bishop kicked out. The Rogue went on to hit a flying cross minutes later that kept Retribution down for the three count.
Swarm vs. Symbiosis Swarm defeated Symbiosis with a VENOMOUS STINGER Match Rating: 1.00 Match Notes: Payback, Hector, Thantos, and Swarm rushed the ring and Swarm dove in. He caught the bigger wrestler off-guard with the frenzied attack and went on to score the easy win with the VENOMOUS STINGER.
- Legneds vs. Sly's team - Swarm continued to pound on Symbiosis after the bell until Sly Drury came out flanked by two GWF security members, Encubus, and Mother Superior. Sly stopped in the aisle and Swarm, Thantos, and Payback turned their attention to him as Hector stood over Symbiosis. Sly said that was an impressive show of anger, but it doesn't change the fact that Swarm has picked a losing battle. Swarm said that it didn't look that way from where he was standing and tonight the tide turns when Hector takes the GWF championship from Overmaster.
Sly laughed coldly and told him that there was no chance of that happening. he said Hector got "stuck in traffic" and wasn't going to be here tonight. As he spoke "Hector" took off his mask behind Swarm and Payback and was revealed to be PATCH in disguise. He helped Symbiosis to his feet and they attacked Swarm and company. Sly and Encubus joined the fray and the 4-on-3 attack was underway. When it looked like the Legends may be able to overcome the numbers, Sly grabbed a shock stick from one of his GWF security men and used it on Swarm. Payback and Thantos kept fighting but were at a serious disadvantage and eventually fell to the GWF commissioner and his forces.
Before leaving Sly looked down at the fallen Swarm and told him he should rest up this week because he's got a special contender coming to take that Interplanetary title on the next show.
Anivar vs. Paralyze Paralyze defeated Anivar with a disqualification Match Rating: 3.00 Match Notes: The battle rages on between these two vicious fighters. The end came when Anivar went under the ring to grab a steel pipe to use on Paralyze to counter the punishing offense of the awesome Gladiator. Paralyze somehow shrugged off the blow and got back into the ring. He called Anivar to get back in and finish the fight, but the ref prevented Anivar from doing so.
- GWF championship contender - Aethran Overmaster and the tag team champions came to the ring to join Paralyze. Overmaster said he'd seen enough and that Dark Menace's Covert Ops team was getting less and less amusing by the day. Rush, Turmoil, and Paralyze circled around the ring and began to close in on Anivar when a portal opened up behind him. Anivar gave the double "one finger salute" to his would-be attackers and disappeared through the portal.
Overmaster roared and said the mind games and tactics would be the downfall of Covert Ops. He said the Gladiators have no equal and Hector can thank whatever deity he worships that he is not here tonight or he would have bore the brunt of the Overmaster's frustration. As Overmaster continued to deliver his propaganda of Aethran superiority ENDGAME came to the ring.
Endgame said that he's heard enough of Overmaster spouting off about how great he is, how great the Gladiators are, and how he has no equal. Overmaster reminded Endgame about how he not only beat him once, but did so soundly on his undefeated path to the GWF championship. Endgame pointed out HIS recent successes and the fact that Hector isn't here and that means Overmaster has no one to use to "prove his Aethran superiority". That being the case, he officially challenged Overmaster to try to beat him one more time. Overmaster gladly accepted the challenge and sent his Gladiators to the back. Endgame stopped and added one more thing: "since you were going to have a Titan Death match with Hector, I think it's only fair that we keep those stipulations in place for this match, too. Go ahead and do your worst; I promise I won't have to." Overmaster roared in anger and lunged at Endgame, thus starting the match.
Aethran Overmaster vs. Endgame for the Galaxian Championship Endgame defeated Aethran Overmaster with a ROLLING FIGURE FOUR Match Rating: 4.00 Match Notes: Endgame caught the charging champ with a pair of arm drag takedowns and a shining wizard for an early near fall. Overmaster came roaring back, catching Endgame in an Overmaster Overhead Toss and using his power to try to dominate. The action was back and forth until Endgame kicked it into high gear and slapped on the ROLLING FIGURE FOUR practically out of nowhere. Overmaster struggled to break free, but left his shoulders on the mat in the process. The ref counted the pin and the Overmaster's title reign and long unbeaten streak both came to an end.
Endgame won the Galaxian Championship

2125 7 02.12.2125 from
- The Two Man Power Trip - Sly Drury and Aethran Overmaster come to the ring; Sly is accompanied by GWF Security and Patch. Sly announces that the challenger for Swarm tonight will be none other than....SLY DRURY. He says the only way to restore some credibility and respect to the Interplanetary title is by holding it himself. Overmaster speaks next and denies his loss to Endgame, saying he was prepared for Hector and was ambushed by Endgame. He proclaims that he will "allow" Endgame to call himself champion until such a time as he decides to take the title back. He then announces that he's using his authority to make a non-title match tonight between Turmoil and Rush and The Ultimate Fighters as the beginning of the end for Covert Ops.
Havoc crashes the scene and tells Overmaster to stop whining and start getting comfortable with losing because he's officially challenging Overmaster to face him in the ring tonight. Overmaster accepts and threatens to snap Havoc like a twig right now. Sly tells him to save it for the match and says the Legends probably want a little revenge now after what happened last week. He says he heard it "on good authority" that Hector is still MIA, but any member of the Legends Of The Ring who has the guts should come out right now and face Patch one-on-one to start the show.
Thantos vs. Patch Thantos defeated Patch with a MASTERLOCK Match Rating: 2.00 Match Notes: Thantos set out to make an example of the commissioner's right-hand man and did just that. He was setting up for the LEGENDS LARIAT when Symbiosis jumped up on the apron to interfere. Thantos caught him and sent him crashing into Patch. Both men fell, Symbiosis rolled out of the ring, and Thantos slapped on the MASTERLOCK for the win. Thantos caught sight of Encubus watching from ringside and challenged him to come in and try to break the hold, but Encubus wouldn't get involved.
- Infinity Challenge - Deadliest vs. Shann-Ra Shann-Ra defeated Deadliest with a spinning neckbreaker at 14:31 Match Rating: 3.50 Match Notes: Shann-Ra scored the impressive win and the losing streak continued for Deadliest, despite her best efforts.
After the match ZYGON and THRAXX came out to consult with their teammate and try to figure out what is causing her recent streak of losses. Zygon was particularly harsh on her, until she brought up THEIR recent losses. Then tempers started to flare. Clearly, this is a partnership having some difficulties.
- I.C. segment - The current standings are announced for the Infinity Challenge. Team Dialectas is ahead of Team Abroz by a score of 17-12. Tanck is announced as the current leader for MVP in the men singles division, Rotunda in the women division, and Air Strike in the tag team ranks.
A disappointed Team Abroz is seen gathered in the locker room area (except for Deadliest, who is conspicuous by her absence). Tricks decides to take it upon himself to speak and says that he's not happy with the situation, he's not happy with the teammates he's being forced to work with, and he's definitely not happy with being picked after Panther Warrior and American Guy Andrews. Oracle chimes in and predicts that bad things happen when Tricks isn't happy. Guy says he's had enough of this nonsense and just walks away. Tricks looks around, sees Panther Warrior, Gryt, Malkuth, Plethador, Scimitar, and She Devil and declares that it looks like an Ani-Men/ Dark Carnival reunion back there now (forgetting Tristan, who is standing beside Malkuth). All the Animen except for Mantis, Oracle reminds, who is on team Dialectas and is facing his former teammate Panther Warrior next. Tricks finds the idea highly amusing, but Panther isn't in the mood to laugh.
Panther Warrior tells Tricks that he'll tolerate him on the same team for now, but he should never mistake them as partners. Tricks acts insulted and says he just wants to get along and help his team win. With that, he declares that he is about to go show how committed to the team he is and he and Oracle depart.
- Infinity Challenge - Panther Warrior vs. Mantis Panther Warrior defeated Mantis with a JUNGLE NIGHTS Match Rating: 2.00 Match Notes:
Panther Warrior was introduced and awaited his former teammate and now opponent. TRICKS and ORACLE appeared, dragging the hurt Mantis to the ring. They tossed him in and Tricks said "You're welcome" to Warrior as they walked away. Warrior was furious and tried to get the referee to postpone the start of the match. As he did that Mantis recovered enough to give Panther a running Animen Axehandle to the back. The ref called for the bell and the bout got started.
After the bell had rung Mantis accused his former partner of being in on the attack and tossed him out of the ring. There he performed a jarring power bomb and nearly took the win by countout.
Back in the ring Panther Warrior decided he had taken enough and shrugged off an elbow hammer before using the Warrior splash to set up the JUNGLE NIGHTS and take the win. Warrior offered his hand to Mantis after the bout, but Mantis just rolled out of the ring and left in disgust.
Ensor vs. Paganax Paganax defeated Ensor with a PAGAN VOID Match Rating: 3.50 Match Notes: Ensor stood tall as always, overcoming a tremendous size advantage and using his agility and tenacity to almost score the upset win. However, Paganax finally hit with the PAGAN VOID and get the pinfall win.
After the match Paganax picked up Ensor by his throat and used the Eruption choke slam to put the exclamation point on his win. Then he took the mic and addressed the new champ Endgame. He that their first encounter was just the set-up, but now that Endgame has what Paganax wants, the stakes have risen and The Heathen Chief is ready wear the gold GWF championship belt on the copper throne of victory with the broken silver body of Endgame at his feet.
Ultimate Fighters vs. Rush and Turmoil Turmoil defeated Clinch with a disqualification due to gang interference Match Rating: 3.50 Match Notes: The teams took turns beating each other up; first the Ultimate Fighters unloaded on Turmoil, then Rush and Turmoil took over on Clinch. Finally Turmoil knocked Shoot off the apron and set up Clinch for CHAOS IN THE CROWD. After the move hit Dark Menace's visage appeared on the screen above the ring and he called for his men to attack. That brought out ANIVAR, HAVOC, and two members of the SLEEPER CELL. They attacked the Gladiators until security came out to break it up.
After order was restored Havoc took to the ring and announced "two down" and called out Overmaster to make it three.
Havoc vs. Aethran Overmaster Havoc defeated Aethran Overmaster with a small package Match Rating: 4.50 Match Notes: Overmaster controlled the outset, but Havoc rebounded and turned it into a competitive match. After some action outside of the ring Havoc hit FALLEN DREAMS. Paralyze came out to try to interfere but ANIVAR cut him off. It was enough to distract Havoc from going for the pin, and Overmaster ended up coming back with a big spear. He brutalized Havoc until he made the mistake of tossing him into the ropes. Overmaster went for a clothesline, but Havoc countered with a crucifix that he turned into a sunset flip for the shocking pinfall.
Swarm vs. Sly Drury for the GWF Interplanetary Championship This match ended in a draw (no contest) Match Notes: Sly and Swarm brawled at the start of the match until Sly used a cheap shot to set up his offensive flurry. Sly floored the Interplanetary champ and hit the CRIME LORD KICK. To the dismay of the commissioner Swarm managed to get his foot on the rope to break the count. Sly set up for and hit another CRIME LORD straight away and went for the pin in the middle of the ring when a member of GWF Security hopped up onto the apron.
Sly was confused and got in his face to ask what he thought he was doing. The Security member in turn used a stun gun on the commissioner that sent him crashing to the mat in convulsions. Of course, the rest of the GWF security team rushed to the aid of the commissioner as the renegade member made his escape, but not before turning on at the top of the entrance ramp and leaving these parting words:
"Hey Sly; I know your secret---but you don't know mine."
Overall Card Rating: 3.17

Wow, nice work here Mark...I like how you're playing out the strife of former teammates now having to be opponents...AOM was robbed, but Havoc is a star and deserves the win...Very nice ending, I liked the mystery security member, but he may now not be a mystery

2125 8: Trios and Triple Threats! 02.19.2125 from Tirion
Tauran, Retribution, and Ensor vs. Nosfera, Bishop Hell, and Coven Black Tauran defeated Bishop Hell with a VICTORY STAR DROP Match Rating: 3.00 Match Notes: A hot start to the action finished when Tauran hit an impressive VICTORY STAR DROP on Bishop Hell. Black and Nosfera tried to break it up, but were stopped by Ensor and Retribution and Tauran scored the pin to give his team the win.
- Nitro and the Kroll - Nitro meets up with his partners for the night in front of the backstage curtain. He says he is the answer to all their troubles and if they'll only listen they can not only win tonight but become the tag team MVPs of the Infinity Challenge. Zygon is not too impressed with his bravado, but Thraxx says he'll hear him out. Nitro alludes to his former partnership with Tristan and the one thing that separates him from his former partner; the ability to win at all costs. That gets Zygon's attention and he asks Nitro to go out to the ring and prove it then, and maybe they could help each other get what they want in the Infinity Challenge and beyond.
Air Strike and Panther Warrior vs. Frontal Assault and Nitro Thraxx defeated Panther Warrior with a POWER OF KROLL Match Rating: 4.00 Match Notes: Back and forth action from bell to bell. Nitro took a serious beating in the opening minutes until he managed to tag out to Thraxx. The match saw Malkuth almost pin Zygon after a double team move with Tristan if not for the interference of Nitro. In the closing moments of the match MANTIS came out and distracted Panther Warrior, still accusing him of being in on the attack that occurred at the hands of Tricks. That gave Zygon the opening he needed. He tagged out to Thraxx and they used POWER OF KROLL for the win as Malkuth confronted Mantis about his actions at ringside.
- The Commissioner cometh. - Sly Drury storms to the ring with his security team. Mother Superior is by his side. He cuts right to the matter at hand and says he knows it was Hector posing as one of his team on the last show. He says he doesn't know how it was him, since Sly had it on "good authority" that Hector had been involved in an "unfortunate accident" that would've taken him out for good, but that doesn't matter. He says that the mind games and the tactics are over because Superclash is coming in a few weeks and he's pulling rank and demanding Hector face him in a steel cage match. Sly announces that if Hector fails to appear he is permanently suspended from the GWF, so either way Drury wins. Either Hector will be suspended for good, or he'll receive the beating of a lifetime and he won't be able to compete anyway.
Happy with himself over his ruling, Sly smirks and says that now Mother Superior has something to say. Mother Superior declares that she is bored. She says she has held the GWF women championship longer than anyone in the last decade and it may be time to retire the women championship for good since clearly no one can beat her. That brings out SULTANA who reminds Mother that she never pinned her to win that belt, that Sultana lost it in a triple threat match and the other woman was pinned. Mother Superior reminds Sultana that she's had her chances at winning the belt back and failed. THAT brings out Shann-Ra, who tells them both that they should stop arguing like a pair of old crows and actually do something about it. She says that they're on Tirion, and this would be the perfect place to have one more triple threat match and decide this thing once and for all.
Mother Superior casually looks at Sly and says, "make it so". Sly orders the ref to get into the ring and officiate the following TRIPLE THREAT MATCH FOR THE GWF WOMEN CHAMPIONSHIP.
- Triple Threat Match - Mother Superior vs. Sultana vs. Shann-Ra for the GWF Women's Championship Sultana defeated Mother Superior with a Warrior Whiplash Match Rating: 4.50 Match Notes: Everyone had a chance to score a pin on everyone else, but each attempt was thwarted. The finish saw Shann-Ra hit MACHETTE on Mother Superior, but Sultana broke it up and tossed Shann-Ra out of the ring. Then she hit the Sultana Splash followed by the Warrior Whiplash on Superior to get the pin and FINALLY win her title back.
Sultana won the GWF Women's Championship
Thantos, Swarm, and Payback vs. Encubus, Patch, and Symbiosis Thantos defeated Patch with a MASTERLOCK at 19:21 Match Rating: 4.00 Match Notes: Encubus seemed to hang Patch out to dry at the end, as Thantos called him to come try to break up the MASTERLOCK but Encubus just hopped off the apron and watched as Patch was forced to submit. Symbiosis stood no chance of interferring as he had already taken a beating at the hands of Payback and could barely stand on the apron.
- Endgame - GWF Co-commissioner AETHRAN OVERMASTER makes his way to the ring. He says that he has never been one to make excuses and he will not start now. He will simply state that he did not lose the GWF championship to a previously agreed upon challenger and he is still unbeaten in his mind. He says he will go on to Superclash to regain his GWF belt and make it official. Havoc comes to the ring to challenge Overmaster's claim and declare himself the number one contender after his big win over Overmaster on the last show. He officially challenges Endgame to face him for the GWF title at Superclash.
Then PAGANAX makes his appearance. He says that it is his mission in the GWF to humble Endgame and take the GWF title and HE should get the match at Superclash.
Of course, ENDGAME has to appear at this time to add to the festivities. He says that there seems to be some disagreement as to who should get the title match at Superclash. He says he'd be fine facing any or all of them for various reasons; Overmaster is a tyrant who abuses his power, Paganax is a threat to the GWF in his role as leader of the Rogues, and Havoc fights on the right side but uses all of the wrongs tactics as part of Dark Menace's renegade faction. Endgame notes that Overmaster could just use his authority to overrule the other two and make the match, OR he could "prove his Aethran dominance" and face them both in a triple threat right now to see who really deserves the match.
Overmaster's ego is manipulated by Endgame's words and he demands that the match happen right now, guaranteeing that he would see Endgame at Superclash. Endgame walks away satisfied with himself and the match gets underway.
Aethran Overmaster vs. Havoc vs. Paganax Paganax defeated Havoc with a PAGAN VOID Match Rating: 4.75 Match Notes: Every man in the match gave everything they had and absorbed tremendous amounts of punishment in trying to secure the win and the next title shot against the champ. In the end Overmaster hit Havoc with REIGN OF THE OVERMASTER, but Paganax broke up the pin with a splash to the back of Overmaster. He tossed Overmaster out of the ring and then used PAGAN VOID on Havoc to score the win and earn the title match at Superclash.
Overall Card Rating: 4.05

2125 9: Infinity Challenge 02.26.2125 from a small arena that doesn't get main eventers
American Guy vs. The Betrayer American Guy defeated The Betrayer with an AMERICAN FIREPOWER Match Rating: 2.00 Match Notes: Guy began by taking the mic and saying he's been waiting a long time for this. He said he couldn't stand being associated with scum like The Betrayer when they were part of Sly's team and the sooner he can get this over with and shower away the stink of The Betrayer the better.
Betrayer said he kind of likes Guy's stink and he may get something else on him before the night's through if Guy keeps talking so "nicely" about him.
That set off Guy who attacked with a vengeance. Betrayer stood little chance after that. At one point he moved out of the way of a knee drop and blew Guy a kiss before trying a dropkick to the knee. Guy hopped over him and hit the Black and Blue Bomb to set up AMERICAN FIREPOWER for the pin.
Air Strike vs. Frontal Assault Zygon defeated Tristan with a POWER OF KROLL Match Rating: 3.50 Match Notes: Zygon and Thraxx jumped Malkuth and Tristan at the bell and Thraxx went on to brutalize Malkuth in the opening minutes. Malkuth finally managed a comeback and the tag out to Tristan who came in and nearly scored the pin right away. Things settled down and a close contest ensued. In the end Thraxx knocked Malkuth off the apron and Zygon and he used their tag team finisher to get the win.
The Kroll victorious Zygon and Thraxx are joined by Nitro in the back following their match. Deadliest comes in and tells them it's about time they got a win. Nitro says of course they won because they took his advice. He said she needs to go show what she can do. He pauses and reconsiders, telling her that he just remembered she's on the opposite team in this Infinity Challenge, so she's on her own and he hopes Shann-Ra wins (as much as he hates to say it). Thraxx agrees and tells her to get lost.
Just then Gryt makes his way into the room. He says Deadliest is his teammate which means that she is right now the "pound for pound toughest female fighter in the galaxy by association" and they need to back off. Then he says he'll see Nitro in the ring later to teach him a few lessons about "pound for pound" when he pounds all over his skull. Nitro and The Kroll begin to close in around Gryt when Deadliest steps in front and tells Gryt he'd better go, and she'll follow so she can go get ready for her match.
Deadliest vs. Shann-Ra Deadliest defeated Shann-Ra with a PURIFICATION Match Rating: 2.75 Match Notes: Shann-Ra poured on the offense and seemed to have a counter for everything Deadliest tried until Deadliest caught her with a stun gun maneuver off the ropes. She then used the PURIFICATION for the victory.
Afterwards, Gryt came down the aisle for his match and to congratulate Deadliest on her win. Deadliest did Gryt's chest pounding "pound for pound" taunt in return and told him to go to the ring squash the obnoxious little Titan.
However, he was met by Rotunda before he could get there. She was loud and grating, questioning him about what he was doing with another woman and wondering about the nature of their relationship. Gryt pleaded with her, but she wouldn't hear it. He tried to embrace her, but she pushed him away and slapped him hard in the ear. Gryt stumbled into the ring and Rotunda walked away mad.
Gryt vs. Nitro Nitro defeated Gryt with a moonsault Match Rating: 1.00 Match Notes: Nitro ran down the aisle and took advantage of the stunned Gryt. He hit a big leaping dropkick at the opening bell that rocked Gryt. It was all over from there as the arrogant Nitro put on a showcase of big moves on the way to the easy win.
Oracle vs. Vidtek Oracle defeated Vidtek with a DIVINATION Match Rating: 3.00 Match Notes: Vidtek managed to kick out of an amazing 7 pin attempts in this match before finally succumbing to DIVINATION to give Oracle another stunning win.
- Challenging teams - Mantis and Panther Warrior are in the backstage area. Mantis says that alliances are all mixed up because of this Infinity Challenge; partners are fighting, relationships are being torn apart, and he doesn't know who to trust anymore. All he knows is he's been beaten up by Symbiosis for trying to stick up for his father, he's been attacked by Tricks to soften him up for a match against Panther Warrior, and Malkuth is part of the opposite team, too. So right now the only side he's on is his own.
Warrior once again reassures him that he had nothing to do with what Tricks and Oracle did before their match and once this whole thing is over he just wants everything to go back to normal. Mantis says he's not sure that can ever happen and he has to go.
As Mantis exits, Tricks and Oracle arrive. Tricks tells Panther Warrior that he's not a big fan of being treated like a pawn in Dialectas and Abroz' game, but he sure does love the confusion and chaos it's created. He adds that the ancient ones may think they're making all the rules, but no matter how old they are they've never seen anything like Tricks. Oracle predicts that things are about to get very interesting for everyone in the Infinity Challenge and the two depart.
Tricks vs. Mantis Mantis defeated Tricks with a disqualification Match Rating: 3.00 Match Notes: Mantis absorbed tremendous punishment at the outset and came back to lock on the RAPTORAL GRASP. It looked like it may be over as Mantis kept the hold locked on, but Tricks finally managed to reach the ropes. It was then Mantis turn to hand out the punishment as he fought with an intensity that hasn't been seen from him in his short time in the GWF. Finally Tricks rolled out of the ring and Mantis followed. Tricks grabbed Mantis and whipped him into the steel post, then continued to pound him with fists on the arena floor. Tricks didn't listen to the referees warning to stop and was disqualified.
After the bell PANTHER WARRIOR ran out to defend Mantis. He pulled Tricks off of his former stablemate and decked the evil clown. That's when Oracle ran out and jumped Warrior. Tricks and Oracle tossed Warrior into the ring and Tricks grabbed a chair. Before any damage could be done TANCK, Warrior's scheduled opponent for the night, came out and attacked Tricks and Oracle. He said he wants Panther Warrior 100-percent healthy so he can prove who the better man really is.
Order was restored and Warrior nodded to Tanck in acknowledgment for the save. Tanck just flexed his arms and told the ref to ring the bell and get the match started.
Panther Warrior vs. Tanck Panther Warrior defeated Tanck with a JUNGLE NIGHTS Match Rating: 4.00 Match Notes: Both men fought hard for the win in this big chance for them to main event a show. It was the classic power versus speed match, and on this night speed won. Warrior used his JUNGLE NIGHTS flip piledriver to take the fall and the match and end Tanck's recent impressive string of victories.
Overall Card Rating: 2.75

2125 10 03.05.2125 from
- Infinity Challenge Match - Vidtek vs. Gryt Gryt defeated Vidtek with a Mighty Body Slam Match Rating: 2.50 Match Notes: Vidtek overpowered Gryt at the beginning until Gryt slid out of the ring to regroup. Vidtek followed and Gryt gabbed him and ran him into the post. In the ring Vidtek fought out of the STRONGMAN STRETCH and made a comeback, but ended up falling to a Mighty Bodyslam.
- A match is made, a Gladiator is angry. - Gryt took the mic after the bout and dedicated his win to Rotunda. She came out and he said he was sorry she misinterpreted his relationship with Deadliest. She was not receptive and said he shouldn't be anywhere near a beast like her. Deadliest heard that and came out. She said they were teammates and nothing more, but the only beast she sees in the ring is in front of her face. Vidtek had rolled out of the ring while all of that was going on, but came back in with a bag of popcorn in hand. He handed it to Rotunda and said there was no need to fight; he said that the Infinity Challenge had made strange----bedfellows---but there was one way to settle this; a mixed tag team match at Superclash with Gryt and Deadliest against him and Rotunda.
Gryt was furious about the use of the term "bedfellows", asking what Vidtek meant. Before things could get serious a very intense Paralyze rushed the ring and chased everyone away with his Rylock Rod. He screamed for Anivar to come out now and face him like a man. Anivar did indeed come out, Sleeper members behind him. He sent them away, Paralyze tossed the Rylock Rod aside, and Anivar slid in the ring to begin the bout.
Anivar vs. Paralyze Anivar defeated Paralyze with a disqualification Match Rating: 2.50 Match Notes: The action went exactly as it has for every other match between these two; a brawl that escalated to a wild brawl before becoming an uncontrollable brawl. This time it was Paralyze who managed to take things too far outside of the ring, shove the referee, and get disqualified.
After the dust had settled, Plethador came to the ring in full "Coach Plethador" regalia, followed by a less-than-happy looking Scimitar. He said he's calling out Covert Ops too, because it's time to show the world what a well trained team can really do. He said he's seen the Ultimate Fighters and he's not impressed. This isn't MMA, it's wrestling, and they've shown nothing in a wrestling ring yet. Scimitar tried to talk him out of it, but Plethador blew the coach's whistle in his face and told him to shut up. The Fighters came out, the ref called for the bell, and the next match began.
The Longshots vs. Ultimate Fighters Clinch defeated Plethador with a SUPER COMBO KO Match Rating: 0.10 Match Notes: Plethador annoyed the Fighters and his partner blowing his whistle and "coaching" Scimitar to start the match. It was enough to distract Shoot and give Scimitar an opening to start the match, but he missed a spinning back fist and never got another opening. The Fighters tagged in and out and beat him up. They didn't want the win over him though, and allowed him to get to his corner. Pleth didn't want in, but Scimitar forced the tag. Shoot pulled him into the ring and it was all over in about a minute as Clinch tagged in and Plethador fell to the SUPER COMBO KO.
Payback vs. Encubus Encubus defeated Payback with a 450 splash Match Rating: 0.00 Match Notes: Patch accompanied Encubus to ringside and provided a distraction at the bell. Encubus attacked from behind and won handily, scoring the quick win with the 450 splash.
After the bout Payback recovered and dove over the ropes at Patch. They brawled all over the ringside area until Encubus nailed Payback from behind and got his teammate out of the arena.
Ensor and Tauran vs. Coven Black and Bishop Hell Coven Black defeated Tauran with a Coven Black rams his opponent\'s head into the rails! at 5:41 Match Rating: 2.00 Match Notes: Tauran was very aggressive in this match and paid for it by getting his team disqualified.
After the bout Nosfera ran out and helped his teammates attack. Retribution came out to even the sides, and the team leaders followed. A wild 4-on-4 brawl ensued with the GWF champ Endgame going toe-to-toe in the ring with challenger Paganax in the center of the ring as the others brawled on the floor.
- Sly's authority - Sly Drury ordered GWF security to the ring to break up the scene and remove every member of the FDF and Rogue's Gallery except for the team leaders from the building. After order was restored Sly stepped in and said it may be a time for a reminder about who's running the show. He said Paganax was impressive in his victory to earn the title shot, but now he wants to see total domination when he faces Havoc one on one. Sly said Overmaster has a rematch with Havoc at Superclash and wants to see Havoc "put through his paces" before the big event and knows Paganax can deliver. Paganax roared, pounded his chest, and said he can't wait. Sly said he didn't have to because that match is next.
Then he turned to Endgame and told him to head to the back and get ready for war, because he will face the homicidal Turmoil in a non-title, no disqualification match. Sly laughed and told Endgame he hopes Turmoil goes easy on him, because he'd hate for something to happen to the champ before Superclash.
Havoc vs. Paganax Paganax defeated Havoc with a Ragnarok Chops Match Rating: 4.00 Match Notes: Paganax got the match started quick with the "Lavalanche" and a quick cover, but Havoc kicked out at "1". Havoc came back shortly and used the Gothic Tomb Spike and also only got a "1" count from the ref before Paganax launched him off of the pin attempt. A classic struggle ensued until Paganax managed to win the war of attrition and score the pin after a series of brutal Ragnarok chops. The number one contender cemented his position going into the big supercard, but definitely knew he was in a battle after it was over.
- No disqualification, non-title - Endgame vs. Turmoil Endgame defeated Turmoil with a ROLLING FIGURE FOUR Match Rating: 3.75 Match Notes: Turmoil used the no disqualification stipulation to his full advantage and really took it to the champ. Endgame seemed to have no answer for the newest Gladiator's unorthodox offense for most of the match. He did adjust though, and hit the classic Endgame flurry before finally finishing it with the ROLLING FIGURE FOUR.
RUSH ran out and broke up the move after the bell. Endgame fought him off, but Turmoil recovered and the tag team champs gave Endgame a double running clothesline before Rush used ADRENELINE RUSH to set up CHAOS IN THE CROWD.
With all of the members of the FDF removed from the building earlier, things looked bleak for the champ until SWARM came out and attacked the Gladiators. It looked like a crazy move to jump the tag champs without back-up, until Hector showed up in the crowd to even things up. He took out both Gladiators with two big swings of a steel chair. Sly Drury raced down the ramp to try to stop him, but Payback followed behind Sly, grabbed him by the neck, and tossed him into the ring where Hector was waiting.
Sly swung at Hector, but The Holy Brown Bear ducked, and used I KNOW YOUR SECRET on Sly before GWF Security came out and chased the Legends away through the crowd.
ENDGAME INJURED 5 cards.
Overall Card Rating: 2.12
