[glow=red,2,300]Meeting with the United Federation of Stars and Planets
06.23.2073 from Deimos, Mars[/glow]

[glow=red,2,300]

The Dawn of a New Era

[/glow]

Morpheus, Omega, KO Keller, and Torin Caelum take the podium in front of all the Senators.

Morpheus: We have requested this meeting to discuss the Jack Hood situation and our new proposal. Omega has informed me of a plan, and I will let him have the floor …Omega.

Omega: We would first like to thank all of you, the representatives of The United Federation of Stars and Planets for giving us the opportuity to pitch our ideas. We understand that this federation was set up to eliminate all violent contests in the galaxy. The Pacification Accord took away the perspective careers of hundreds of billions of athletes and performers and left an unfathomable number of fans with holes in their hearts. But as with any act passed by a government body, there were loopholes. So under the guise of a misleading title, and with a crafty showman at the helm, one league pressed on during these crucial times. The only problem was that he manipulated wrestlers who were looking to feed their families, abused the system, and even killed a man for power and rights. The federation was called POW. It ran for 8 months under the confindes of the M45 Theatre and other underground venues. Hood murdered Ratlick. The members you see before you plotted against Hood to take back power and eliminate the violoence he created. It is our pleasure to announce that we have taken Hood down and stored him in a transport that can be retrieved in the 3rd Realm and he can be charged accordingly. Which leads us to tonight.

Senator Gobble: What do you propose?

Omega: A couple months ago I went back to Sagitta to talk to a friend of mine in business and banking. The plan is for Morpheus and I to buy as much of the shares to make us principal owners. Forming an independent corporation that we will call the Galactic Wrestling Federation. We will be re-organizing the league into a federation as we will buy the rights to keep the trademark Galactic Wrestling Federation. That would take the business out of Hood's reach forever. We already have a signed contract in which Hood has turned over rights to Morpheus and I. Still the problem of the in ring situation will take some work. With that in mind I will bring in an old dear friend who has been around since the early days of wrestling. He has been quiet here, but he is ready to step up and fight the good fight. I bring in Torin Caelum.

Caelum comes up to the podium.

Caelum: Thank you Omega. First let me tell of MY qualifications. When my wrestling career came to a sudden halt with the new law set forth by this federation, I began to head the Sagitta Wrestling Association, a federation that tried to compete on a galaxy level with R.R.A.T.S. But we failed because I feel sports entertainment overtook my true vision. A vision of a federation with a strict code of ethics. I have been all over the galaxy and have kept my nose very clean. My plan is to now introduce a form of this code into the new GWF.

Senator Gobble: What exactly is this code?

Caelum: Well, Greed can never take over when it comes to doing good business. In brief this new code states any rule breaking is severely punished. Respect towards your opponent is paramount. The roles of heroes and villains are discouraged. I know some of these ideas will be modified. I feel with Omega and Morpheus that getting back to the beginning was a needed goal.

Morpheus: (mostly to himself) which being a noble idea was unprofitable.

Omega: Give it a chance.

Senator Gobble: So how does the code work on the likes of Jack Hood?

Omega: I do not seeing it working on Hood and his gang as long as he has success in the ring and if he stays at large.

Torin Caelum: We need to make our side more powerful than his. This starts by recruiting more powerful talent.

Omega: That takes time and you know that. In the meantime, we will have to train the talent we have now to work harder. That is why I hired a veteran like Caelum and Keller to take on our current stars and making them into better and smarter wrestlers. They still have much to learn, but the opportunities to succeed will be endless.

Morpheus: That way we can start looking for more help. I have a few ideas. I request to take some time off to scout the galaxy. I will return with talent worthy of pushing the influence Hood has had on others out of the GWF for good.

Omega: The old league had fallen into dangerous times with the likes of Jack Hood and his Outlaws. Morpheus and I plan to stop the marauder anyway we can. Torin is a financial expert and has been a World Champion all around the galaxy. He truly represents the grassroots of our sport and he is now here to help put it back on course.

The Senators gather around one another and speak about the proposal. After discussing for a few moments, Senator Gobble speaks.

Senator Gobble: Permission granted. As long as this federation upholds the standards of sportmanship and honor, we will grant permission for operations to go into effect. However, you have one year to get everything together and once finalized, send us your rules, regulations, and roster. Operation can be held here on Deimos, Mars so we can keep a close eye on things. Operation granted for September 2074. Seems like you have really thought this through. We will send authorities to the 3rd Realm to pick up Hood and his men. Make us proud men.

The wrestlers celebrate.

[gwfman17]

In order to tell the GWF story, I have included elements and descriptions from the actual pages of the Champions of the Galaxy pages. Of course, slight modifications set in my own words. I hope you enjoy my take as we move forward to the early beginnings of the GWF.

[glow=red,2,300]GWF Roster Takes Shape
06.19.2074 from Deimos, Mars[/glow]

Deimos, Mars Named Site of GWF Wrestling-Cetus Named GWF Headquarters

Brief History- The Galaxian Federation was founded late in the 21st century, when space travel and colonization linked the cosmos. The ancient sport of wrestling, which was popular on many planets, grew to cosmic proportions as talented fighters from all over the galaxy came together to battle. Omega of Cetus and Morpheus organized the Federation which was to be created as a noble sport and allowed for a disciplined expression of man's aggressive nature.

Much different from the sport's entertainment years which preceeded the federation, the GWF claimed to have no heroes or villains and no battle lines drawn. There are only talented fighters who will wage war as individuals representing their cosmic homelands. However, this philosophy may not last long as many wrestlers will find it difficult to control their inner urges and fans will not be able to help that they will have favorites. But Torin Caelum and Omega will try their best to institute and new code and will attempt to try and micro manage the sport. Morpheus, as you will see, will find it difficult to not listen to the fans and the ratings. Will sport's entertainment make a comeback, or will the code reign supreme?

The Galaxian feuds will take place at the Federation's main battleground, a moon of Mars called Deimos. Deimos is a hollow sphere with a wrestling ring and ring-area gravitationally floated in the middle. Wrestlers are teleported to the ring-area by a beam of light. Thousands of spectators from all points in the universe come to Deimos (and other Federation wrestling sites) to witness the epic Federation feuds and Galaxian Championship bouts.

Omega's homeland of Cetus has been named the Federation's headquarters.

A Roster Develops

Omega and Morpheus, two outstanding athletes, argued that legalizing violent sports (which had basically been outlawed by the United Federation of Stars and Planets in 2050) would give people an outlet for instinctual violent urges. Let people see and experience their inner aggressions through others, or we will someday face a war more ghastly than the one that just ended.

After years of sport's entertainment led by Ratlick and Torin Caelum, wrestling was banned for being too influential to the fans and destructive to its participants. This led the way for underground promotions to be instituted such as POW and their leader Jack Hood. However, wrestlers were not happy with the new hardcore vision, and rebeled against Hood.

Omega and Morpheus decided to bring more order to the wrestling world by creating a single fed for the big names of the POW and other regional feds to compete. They were able to get stars K.O. Keller and Torin Caelum to agree almost immediately to join the new fed. Soon after, Blood, Jammer, and Paladin Power from POW joined on. Morpheus set out on the galaxy and was able to convince a young veteran from the Galactic Wars to join. This man was named Commander Sam. He also found the tag team of Cordsar and Trotarus as well as Bullwhip and Blacklash.

By the end of the year, they were able to add one more tag team, Thetis and Vortex.

With the league set to hold its first card in early September, as a part of a peace treaty, Morpheus was able to find an unknown from Cygnus named Torpor to join. There were rumors that this signing was actually a favor to the Cygnus government to show that the Fed would be able to last. Reports indicated that Morpheus had another wrestler in the Cygnus system he wanted to get into the league, but could not. This signing was deemed dangerous since both Commander Sam and Torper fought one another in the Galactic Wars. Did Morpheus do this purposely for some underlying reason? We will have to see.

Screw and Ricken Prince had joined on as the last remaining stars of the old POW. But not everyone was on board with this new vision of wrestling. Black Market, Crow, and other hardcore wrestlers from POW asked for their releases. And as hard as it was to fathom, gone was Gryphon Sampson who claimed to only have wrestled as an unhappy slave to Hood. He was ready to go back to Titan to serve in its military and officially retired from the ring.

The stage was set! The roster is small, but had some great potential! The first card was ready to put into motion! Advertisements for the first show ambushed the holo-net and holovisions all over the galaxy! Wrestling was back!

[Justin Case]

really dig this fed! Was watching it from a far, but keeping a close eye on it now! Great story telling and love how you had a master plan and followed the story closely! Great job and hope you continue to keep it going!

[gwfman17]

Wow, I really appreciate that coming from someone with the talent you have for story telling as well with your fed. I thought I only had one fan, but for me that was worth it. Now, to know you have been keeping a watchful eye..I need to step up my game. It's nice to know people follow along with the old school beginnings I am presenting. Means a lot. 2074 will be slow moving at first because of the new code, but the guys in the back may become restless. Stay tuned and thanks for paying attention.

[gwfman17]

On holo-visions across the galaxy, programs are interrupted for a very special sport’s announcement that will change the face of competition forever. Omega of Cetus stands at a podium. A microphone sits in front of him with R5, R4, R3, and R2 (Robots with language deciphering capabilities who translate languages so that planets will be able to understand the English speaking Omega. Reporters from all around the galaxy sit in front of him eagerly awaiting the announcement.

We interrupt this program for a very special announcement.

Hello Beings from around the Galaxy. My name is Omega of Cetus and I want to invite you all to join me and my fellow wrestlers to the new Galactic Wrestling Federation! That’s right beings, I said wrestling. Legalized wrestling!

Under the watchful eye of the U.F.S.P and under the new financial backing of Champions of the Galaxy Inc., The Galaxian Wrestling Federation will officially hold its first card on September 7, 2074. Along with my cooperating partner, Morpheus, we both competed for former wrestling organizations under the blanket of “Sport’s Entertainment” such as Sagitta Grasps League and R.R.A.T.S. We also performed for the brutal and underground organization P.O.W. and its founder the notorious Jack Hood. After helping to disband the P.O.W. organization, Morpheus and I pleaded to the U.F.S.P. to allow wrestling back to the mainstream. In presenting the offer, I felt strongly that the proper channeling of violence could help eliminate war. The Galactic Wars destroyed many planets around the galaxy and many lives were lost. Long after the wars, in 2070, a 20th century idea called Sport’s Entertainment was adopted by promoters such as Ratlick and Torin Caelum as a way to try and entertain the masses and try and put the past behind. To bring together stars from all over the galaxy to show unity and sever differences. However, greed and violent urges would soon take over. The U.F.S.P. took over and once again and banned wrestling. Underground feds popped up and wrestlers became to violent and could only earn a living through victory. This had to stop and we were the ones who banned together to stop it. Now, our goal is to bring back wrestling to planets all over the galaxy.

The GWF can best be compared to boxing on the planet Earth in the 20th century. While there are matches and titles, it will be run more like a sport’s league. I will handle promotions, booking, marketing, and make sure we follow governmental regulations. My partner, Morpheus will recruit the talent to compete on their cards. We have also hired Toro Moldavo, who already runs a wrestling school and dojo, to run our developmental organization for aspiring competitors who wish to learn the various forms of fighting.

Cards are held once a month at the Deimos Intergalactic Arena on Deimos, a moon on Mars. The arena is enormous and has an unbelievable total capacity of 203,500. The U.F.S.P. helped to construct this amazing arena where wrestlers are teleported to the ring-area by a beam of light. Thousands of spectators from all points in the universe can come to Deimos to witness the action. The new GWF headquarters is located on my home planet of Cetus. All wrestlers will go to Cetus every month to sign contracts to wrestle on cards.

Every match you see on holo-vision or our live events should you wish to attend, will be sanctioned by Champions of the Galaxy Inc. Competitors will begin and end every match with a handshake. Wrestlers will respect one another for the purpose of healthy competition. Wins and losses will be crucial as wrestlers will be ranked. These rankings will be made public so that fans can see that there are no politics in decision making. Obviously the more wins a wrestler has, the more they will be considered for championship matches. Fans will get to know our stars through holovised promos. There will be plenty of action. We will not promote villains or heroes, but of course we cannot manipulate how fans perceive our wrestlers

This is a very exciting time for the entire galaxy. Join us each and every month as Champions of the Galaxy presents The Galactic Wrestling Federation. I now open this conference up to the media.

Media members scram to be louder than the next hoping Omega calls on them. All of a sudden, everyone’s attention is diverted to a loud crash as the door of the office is knocked down. Standing in the doorway are two men. Morpheus, who is sitting nearby can be seen smirking as Omega’s face is pure shock.

Omega: (whispering to Morpheus) Who is the world is this?

Morpheus: Two men who will put the GWF on the map. People are gonna wanna watch our program after this exchange.

Omega: What? I….

Blacklash: Look at ya two varmints. Yer sittin up there all prim and proper talkin about wrasslin is back. That makes us laugh. Everythin will be about respect and honor ya say? Now, that makes me slap my knee…ha ha…I got a question for ya Honorable Omega, we heard of P.O.W. and the rampant tales of corruption that went right alongside the excessive violence. Now, yer are talkin a good game fer all these beings, but yer as dirty as anyone. What ya all did to Hood and all. Kind of a hypocrite aren’t ya?

Omega's face hardened.

Morpheus: You interrupt this conference, but you don’t introduce yourselves fellas. Who are you?

Blacklash: Oh, pardon us there Morph. We are Dorado Sundown. Yer next GWF Tag Team Champions!

Omega: We will see about that. I would have rather you didn’t interrupt the way you did, but I will respond. When most people think of wrestling, they still think of the barbaric P.O.W. We were corrupted by the evil mind of Jack Hood. We could not tolerate any longer. Many of us have families that we needed to support. But in the end, this type of lifestyle was not worth it. So, we did what we had to do. Stop it before it got worse. Now, when people see what the GWF offers in terms of competition and a healthy outlet for aggression, we will be the hottest show in the galaxy.

Blacklash: Oh, it will be hot alright because Dorado will be on each and every card.

Reporters flash their cameras and chase after Dorado as they leave trying to track them down for an interview.

Omega: (Looking at Morpheus) Great, that wasn’t how that was suppose to end. Tell me that was not your idea?

Morpheus: (Laughing) Listen, you talk of code and honor. That’s great. But I want to make money and sell tickets. These guys will help us do that.

Omega: We talked about this. You said the talent you bring in will agree to our code.

Morpheus: They will, with a slight bit of challenges to the code of course.

Omega: What?

Morpheus: Will you just trust me? Everything will be fine………

Omega: I wonder about your inner motives sometimes my friend. But I will put my trust in you.

Omega leaves the podium and walks out. Morpheus watches him leave with a smile, but then his face turns sinister.

Morpheus: Trust me you will my friend. And so will the talent when I get through with them. The GWF will be the biggest thing in the galaxy. And, the most profitable thing in the galaxy when I’m done.

[Justin Case]

great opening to 2074! Dorado Sundown were always some tough hombres! Looking forward to the matches!!

This is a fitting role for Toro Moldavo. He can teach aspiring upstarts the fundamentals, both inside and outside the ring.

I'm curious to see how you handle Dorado Sundown, two of the all time bruisers of the Classics Era...men who can make a statement, without saying a single word!

[glow=red,2,300]September: Deimos Intergalactic Arena Exhibition Show #1[/glow]

Thousands of fans from around the galaxy entered the new Deimos Intergalactic Arena as they prepared for the first ever exhibition card for the new promotion called the Galactic Wrestling Federation. The Exhibition card was set up as a way to highlight the wrestlers and expose them to the new generation of fans. Spectators included many different walks of life both alien and human. The ring hovered in the middle of the arena. A holo-tron hung at the very top of the arena to allow fans a chance to get an up close a personal view of the action especially if their seats were further away from the ring. Music was playing in the background as the fans piled into the arena. What was very noticeable was the fact that the arena seemed almost empty due to the fact that the arena could hold 200,000 plus fans. Early ticket sales showed that this first exhibition only drew about 75,000 beings.

Suddenly, the music faded and the lights went out. A single white beam shined on the center of the ring. The fans reaction was both cheers and murmuring in anticipation of what was to come. Then, teleported straight to the ring through the beam of light was a familiar looking being to those hardcore wrestling fans. The crowd begins to erupt…….

David Crockett IV appeared and stood in the middle of the ring to a thunderous applause. He looked around at the fans in attendance and took it all in. The crowd began chanting…WELCOME BACK! WELCOME BACK! It was very visible to see that Crockett got a bit emotional, but he gathered himself to begin the show and say those famous words.

Crockett: From planet to planet and around the galaxy, welcome to the Galactic Wrestling Federation. Hello everyone I’m Dave Crockett the IV coming to you live from the Deimos Intergalactic Arena.

The crowd goes berserk.

Crockett: Before we get going here tonight, I just want to say a few things. First off, BOY DOES IT FEEL GOOD TO BE BACK!

Crowd cheers.

Crockett: Second, things in the wrestling world will be a lot different this time around, and the GWF will make sure that professional wrestling is never taken away again!

Crowd cheers louder.

Crockett: Finally, there may be only 75,000 in attendance tonight, but I can assure you, when the holovised audience witnesses the action on tonight’s card…..WE WILL BE A FULL CAPACITY NEXT MONTH!

Crowd chants…THIS IS AWESOME!

Crockett: Oh this is awesome! Some big changes as you can see already to the new GWF. Our wrestlers will be teleported to the ring to prevent any type of interference prior to our matches. A new Galactic Code has been put into place where our wrestlers will show respect toward one another by shaking hands before matches. Every match counts as there will be a ranking system. Based on records will determine undercard, mid card and main event matches. Cards will be held every month right here. And finally, we cannot help who you cheer for, but there are no villains or heroes in the GWF. Many familiar faces are back. Now, I know it will take some getting use to, but fans I can assure you that it will be one heck of a ride. So, ARE YOU READY FOR THE ACTION?

Crowd cheers!

Crockett: Well, let’s meet our first two competitors who prerecorded their comments. Take a look at the holotron.

Fade to holotron where we see Torin Caelum standing in front of a GWF logo. The crowd cheers very loud as the former Sagitta Grasps League owner graces the screen.

Torin Caelum: I never thought that after the way things went down a few years back, that I would be getting ready to not only compete in a ring again, but to entertain the greatest fans in the galaxy. Looking back, I consider myself a pioneer who did his very best to bring a great show to holovisions across the galaxy. And we did that. I’ve survived the Galactic Wars and the sanctions placed on the sport that I have worked so hard to be successful in. But now, under the new direction of the GWF, it is time for me to get back to my roots. Tonight, I make it my personal agenda to win the hearts of fans around the galaxy and earn the respect of my fellow competitors. Screw, I know you well. I know who you are and where you came from. From a slave to a cleansed Aethran monster. You have never and will never intimidate me. Tonight, I get victory number one. I’M BACK!

Fade out as the crowd goes crazy for Caelum’s promo. Then, fade into Screw standing in front of the GWF banner.

The crowd begins to boo. He says nothing. He is breathing heavily, sweat pours from his face. He slaps his chest. He slaps his face. He screams into the camera. Then, he stares at the camera still breathing heavily and makes a cut throat sign with his thumb across his neck. Fade out.

The crowd begins to chant. TORIN CAELUM! And on command, a beam of white light teleports Torin to the ring. The place erupts at first glance of Torin. The crowd begins to chant THANK YOU TORIN! Torin greets the crowd with a series of waves. The announcer begins to announce the match.

Announcer: Beings from around the galaxy. This fall is scheduled for one fall with a 15 minute time limit. First, from the great planet of Sagitta. Weighing in at 249 lbs. I give you, The Honorable Torin Caelum!

Crowd cheers loudly.

Announcer: And his opponent.

The lights go out and a white beam teleports the monster Screw to the ring. The monster looks around. The crowd sees that Time had taken its toll on the monster as his body was battered and bruised. But he was still enormous in size. As the announcer begins to speak, a mysterious red beam of light enters the ring. Everyone at ringside along with the crowd is confused. Then a being appears through the mysterious light. The maniacal Screw stuttered to the corner turnbuckle as his eyes widened at the being that was standing in front of him.

The being was a masked man who stared at Screw. Screw seemed nervous by this being. The hooded figure then pointed at Screw and gestured for him to leave the ring. This whole scene was very bizarre. Screw sat up tall, then bowed to the hooded being and then left to stand outside the ring. Torin in confusion and disgust walked over to stop Screw, but then the hooded figure’s head quickly swung to the direction of Caelum. The hooded figure issued a chop to the throat of Torin Caelum sending him down to the mat. The figure then, picked up Caelum’s hand…shook it, and gestured to the ref to ring the bell. The confused ref rang the bell and it seems as if this match is taking place.

Torin Caelum vs. Hooded Being

The hooded being got the quick start on Torin, demonstrating just how powerful this mysterious masked man really was. But Torin Caelum has come across powerful mysterious masked men before, and to him this one was no different. The man from Sagitta bounced back and showed that even though he might be late in his prime, he’s got more fight in him than most men. He wore down the hooded being with a serious of submission holds before Torin Caelum hooked on CAELUM’S GRIP which sent the hooded being into unconsciousness. The crowd cheered. Screw stood on the outside not moving and did not seem phased at all by what transpired. Torin helped the hooded man up and extended his hand. The hooded figure could barely stand and ignored the gesture walking slowly out of the ring. Screw watched as the hooded figure walked by and slowly turned and followed. Torin shrugged his shoulders and left shaking the members of the crowd’s hands.

Crockett: Folks, the honorable Torin Caelum proved to be the true veteran that he is by being able to pull out a victory against a man he did not train for, and who got the upper hand early. Torin showed his experience to lead himself to victory and forever go down in the history books as the very first GWF star to pick up a victory. But the galaxy wants to know who this mysterious hooded figure is and what’s his relation to the monster Screw?

A beam of light shined on the ring and the being from Cygnus appeared. He is known as Torper.

Crockett: I see our next bout is ready to get underway. Right now, let’s meet the fiery youngster from Earth, Commander Sam.

Fade back to the holotron.

Commander Sam: You know, I have been out of the spotlight for a few years and went back to my home planet of Earth to clear my head and refocus on my career in professional wrestling. After the Galactic Wars, I became an angry young man still a soldier at heart. Cygnus was a sworn enemy of the Commander and it was strictly shoot to kill orders during that time. But then I get a call from an old friend Morpheus who said the GWF was starting up and wrestling was back, but with a few restrictions. I show up in Cetus to hear Omega go on about how the GWF is going to be a healthy outlet for aggressiveness and will be about friendly competition. (Laughs) I got to say that I admire Omega for this idea and convincing the U.F.S.P. to go along with it, but this American born straight from the stars and stripes is not going into his first match with Torpor with friendly competition in his mind. Morpheus must be crazy to bring this puke into the GWF full well knowing Cygnus is my enemy? Well Torpor, I feel bad for you because you have been thrown into the cross fires to fend for yourself this time. And my rage will be imminent and dominance will prevail! I will raise this flag high and make you pay for the millions who lost their lives in the hands of your brothers. The Liberty Movement is BACK!...but this time…This is for the land of the free…..AND THE HOME OF THE BRAVE!

The camera fades back to the ring. We see a red, white, and blue beam of light transport the good Commander to the ring. He begins to wave the American flag to a response that is both a mix of boos and cheers by the crowd as Earth was a big part of destruction to many other planets. The Commander works all four turnbuckles waving the flag around ignoring the see of boos that work its way through the cheers. He sets the flag down behind one of the turnbuckles and turns his focus quickly on his nemesis.

Announcer: Our next bout is scheduled for one fall with a 15 minute time limit. First, a celebrated war hero from Cygnus, who won many medals for outstanding flying ability in the many air raids that the Cygnus military fought against Earth during the Galactic Wars.

Commander Sam’s face began to get really angry and was beginning to get upset listening to the way Torper was being praised. He runs over to the announcer and interrupts him pushing him aside extending his hand to Torper urging him to shake it for the code. Sam is breathing heavily and the anger begins to overcome him. Torper begins to look reluctant to begin. Sam begins to yell at Torper

Sam: Shake it you puke so I can kick your tail all over this ring!

Finally, Torper cautiously shakes Sam’s hand only to get a viscous boot to the midsection. The match begins.

Commander Sam vs. Torper

Torper was simply no match for the young Commander. Anytime the Cygnus warrior tried an offensive move, Sam would simply counter and make him look silly. For as decorated as he was as a tough Cygnus army hero, he was not very decorated in the form of pure wrestling moves. Sam seemed to have his way in embarrasing fascion. Torper keeps trying, but is no match for Sam. Finally, Sam finishes Torper off with the Star Spangled Banner which leaves Torper simply lifeless in the ring. Sam grabs his flag and walks over to the fallen Torper. He places his left foot on the chest of Torper and waves the flag around chanting USA! USA! USA! Again, a mixed reaction by the crowd.

Crockett: Alright fans, great action so far. But right now, I want to bring out the man responsible for bringing wrestling back..Omega of Cetus!

The beam of white light brings Omega to the ring. The crowd begins to chant GWF! GWF! Omega waves to the fans.

Omega: Thank you so much for the warm welcome. And welcome back to you too David. Great to see you back doing what you do best.

Crockett: Thank you so much Omega. Well, I have to ask. What do you think of the action thus far?

Omega: We are so happy David, to bring the brightest and best stars of the galaxy to the great fans of professional wrestling. These wrestlers have trained and worked so hard to get themselves ready to compete for you all. I see we have a few kinks to address concerning our new code, but all in all we are off to a good start. But you don’t have to ask me about this show. Just ask the great fans here tonight how they feel about our show because that is who’s opinion really matters most.

David and Omega look around at the thunderous applause from the 75,000 fans I attendance again chanting GWF! GWF!

Omega: There you have it David. I also like to thank the fans at home watching our program who could not be here tonight. Stay tuned. There is plenty more to come.

Crockett: Speaking of more to come, how about the decision to put you and Morpheus up against The new team of Dorado Sundown. After the press conference, looks like you are sending a message to the wrestlers of the GWF, that if you try and go against authority…you will be knocked down.

Omega noticeably becomes uncomfortable by the comment and puts his hand over the microphone of Crockett and begins to smile while whispering to Crockett.

Omega: What on Cetus are you talking about? I am in charge of booking, but allowed Morpheus to book this first card because he assured me he knew the talent better than I because he recruited most of them. And so far, it looks as if he is creating rivalries and surprises. Some hooded guy I had no clue about, Sam and Torper.…Prince and Blood to come, and now this…Never again. This will be handled.

Removing his hand and speaking into the mic again.

Omega: Well, David. The code must be followed and yes that goes for everyone competing in the GWF. This match was not booked to knock anyone down as you put it, but rather to show these great fans tremendous tag team wrestling. Speaking of tag team wrestling, that leads us to our next match. Thanks David.

Omega walks out of the ring and greets the fans and we fade back to the holotron.

Two beings named Vortex and Thetus who were members of a tag team known as CrossCurrents are standing in front of one another pointing out the strange parts of their attire they are not use to. The two beings were from an underwater civilization and could only survive outside water for a few minutes at a time. They had to don special suits in the ring that gave them the supply of liquids that were necessary for them to retain their strength. Thetis spoke on behalf of this high flying team. He placed a small white tube in his mouth and his voice sounded as if he was still underwater.

Thetis: Tonight we face the Mensans. All of us have come to the GWF for a new beginning. To compete with the best that the galaxy has to offer. We are representatives of the proud people of Thalassis who have never competed in a match outside of our homeworld, let alone outside of water which helps us sustain life. You will see tonight that your power will not overcome our graceful wrestling style and fluidity. We will be in constant motion and neither one of you will be able to keep up. We are regarded as high-flyers, specializing in diving-type moves off the turnbuckle or ropes. We will be known as the real tag team specialists in the GWF!

Crockett: Well, just arriving to the rings are the Mensans who are two beings who who have so much pride in representing their homeland of Mensa. They both refused to comment before their match as Cordsar, the smaller wrestler of the two, just simply said, they are all business tonight. They are in the ring now stretching and preparing for the arrival of the CrossCurrents. Both teams have so much pride in their home planets and with all of Thalassis and Mensa watching, this match is a great importance to both teams.

Crosscurrents vs. The Mensans

Everything that Thetis had said proved true, as the Mensans were clearly in over their heads when it came to dealing with the speed and the fluid movements of CrossCurrents. Cordsar never got in any offense at all before Thetis and Vortex had him dismantled to the point that Thetis could pin him to the mat for a quick victory in 2:46! Trotarus never entered the ring and seemed extremely upset that Cordsar never tried to tag when he was clearly not gaining any momentum.

Crockett: Well folks, as you see. Not only does the GWF have great singles matches, but high flying action packed tag team action as well. Next up, we have two men who know each other far too well. Their feud had lasted almost a year before arriving to the GWF, but this time their history takes a back burner to good ol’ healthy competition. From Albiero we have a hardcore legend of the P.O.W. Blood facing a man who hails from Parts Unknown. He stands 6’6 and weighs close to 300 lbs. He is Ricken Prince.

A black beam of light brings Blood to the ring. Blood, smoking his trademark cigar, awaits in the ring as a few members of the crowd begins to chant KETCHUP! KETCHUP! Blood looks at them and simply raises his index finger and yells, “Those days are long gone”. The attention is now on the holotron above as we see Ricken Prince.

Ricken Prince: Well, well, well. Here we are at last. The GWF is taking over the bloody galaxy. Huh, speaking of BLOODY. We meet again Blood after a long year off. But this time, there are no gimmicks or shenanigans in place to put you over with the fans. No ruthless and childish behavior accepted in the new GWF. And no KETCHUP on any cheeseburgers here Blood. I am Frickin Ricken Prince, and I am not here to play games. Blood, you can not defeat me in that ring when you put us two together in straight competition. My height, my strength can over power your tattered and beaten down useless body. You will simply be outclassed, outsmarted, and outmatched. The GWF is about class, honor and friendly competition. And even though I could never stoop as low as to consider you a friend, I will wrestle with dignity and finally defeat you in pure righteousness. Something you know nothing about. I will be known asThe Prince of the GWF!

The holotron fades and we see Blood laughing historically in the ring at what he just saw. He continues to smoke his cigar until a purple beam of light bring Ricken Prince to the ring. The Prince is wearing a crown and ceremonial royal garb.

Crockett: Well, it seems as if Ricken Prince is taking his last name to the next step by self proclaiming himself as a true Prince of wrestling.

The two men stare each other down then move slowly to each other until they are face to face.

Announcer: This match is scheduled for one fall with a 15 minute time limit. First, representing Albeiero, weighing in at 244 lbs. I give you….BLOOD!

Some fans begin to chant KING OF HARDCORE!

Announcer: And his opponent, Hailing from Parts Unknown, standing 6’6 and weighing in at 300 lbs. Ricken Prince!

Prince whispers in the announcer’s ear and then the announcer says reluctantly.

The Prince of Wrestling…Ricken Prince!

The crowd boos and begins to chant. PRINCE OF PARTS UNKNOWN! Ricken ignores the chants and acts as if the comments are beneath him. Blood abruptly extends his hand. Ricken looks at it and then shakes his hand laughing.

Blood vs. Ricken Prince

Ricken Prince started off using his size to overcome Blood. Blood fought back hard but found himself struggling with trying to out wrestle the experienced Prince. Not being able to use ruthless tactics, Blood found himself down on the mat victim of a ROYAL DECREE. But Ricken Prince pull up Blood hair after a referees two count laughing and upsetting the ref who warned him not to do that again. The crowd seemed out of it, not impressed with Blood's showing thus far. Prince continued to hammer Blood, finally nailing him with again with the ROYAL DECREE! The referee counted to 2 before Blood actually kicked out. This time, Ricken's face was in utter amazement. The crowd really started to get into the match after feeling like it would be a pure squash. They began to cheer on Blood chanting his name. Ricken got up and covered his ears at the crowd's chanting. Ricken picked up Blood, but Blood began to punch him into his midsection over and over sending the big man back to the ropes. Blood sent Prince to the ropes and was ready to deliver a clothesline, but Prince ducked then delivered the BOW TO THE PRINCE! The referee did not look as if he wanted to make the count as he looked disturbed by the move. Prince yelled at him to count and the referee counted to 2...then hesitated looking at Prince. Prince yelled once again at the ref to count it! Then, the referee reluctantly let his hand go down to the mat for the 3 count. Prince jumped up and danced around the ring happy to have finally gotten the upper hand on Blood once and for all. Pure wrestling obviously is not Blood's strongpoint and it showed. Prince left the ring to a round of boos and the referee try to revive Blood.

As the wrestlers left the ring a promo appears on the holotron. The crowd turns to watch.

The crowd goes nuts after the brief promo.

Crockett: Wow, did you just see that folks? The first ever GWF Heavyweight Champion will be crowned next month. Fans get your tickets at GWF headquarters on Cetus, or through the holonet at cotggwfwrestling.holonet, or through your appleXD transmitting devices by saying COTG CHAMP TOURNAMENT! You do not want to miss this exciting extravaganza as the superstars of the GWF battle it out for supremacy to become the first ever GWF Champion! Folks, we won’t waste anytime as our next competitors have been beamed in and are ready to go.

Announcer: This match is scheduled for one fall with a 15 minute time limit. First, From Albiero, weighing 233 lbs…… Jammer. And his opponent. No stranger to the wrestling galaxy. From Wherever Wrestling Happens…The King of the Underground…The Living Legend…K.O. Keller!

The crowd goes nuts for KO and begin chanting K.O. KELLER! K.O. KELLER! But both men were all business knowing that each victory counts in the GWF. Both men had no problem shaking hands as they had plenty of respect for one another and the match was underway.

K.O. Keller vs. Jammer

The two men tried very hard to wrestle this match. At some points moves looked awkward and both men looked uncomfortable. K.O. Keller specifically who is so use to the hardcore style. the competitors that they were. Neither man tried anything other than wrestling moves, but the frustration began to set in for both men. After a clotheline by Keller near the ropes, the momentum sent them both out of the ring and onto the floor. Jammer would be the first to get to his feet and he picked up Keller. Instead of sending Keller back in the ring, he chose to send Keller into the outside turnbuckle head first. The referee quickly called for the bell. Jammer, hearing the bell, stopped and looked around confused. Keller slowly got up and he too began to look around as the referee is talking to the announcer.

Announcer: The referee stops this match. Winner, by disqualification, K.O. Keller!

Jammer pounds his fists on the mat in disgust. Keller too is seen mouthing the words..."What? Are you kidding me?" Jammer goes over to the ref and grabs a hold of the ref's shirt. The ref explains to him why and reinacts the move that got him disqualified which was the outside turnbuckle shot. Jammer pushes the ref down and both Jammer and Keller get back into the ring. They both gesture to bell keeper to ring the bell. They urge the crowd to get behind them and they do on command. The bell keeper shakes his head no. Both wrestlers yell to ring the bell. Then, we see Omega on the holotron.

Omega: Jammer and K.O. listen to me. The match is over. Jammer, that move does not follow our code in the GWF and does not coinside with wrestling and respect for our fellow competitors. Therefore, the decison stands. Please remove yourselves from the ring at once. We are to be honorable! Jammer, unfortunately you will be fined for this action. Thank you friends for your cooperation.

The crowd was mixed at the announcement with boos and cheers. Jammer and Keller look at each other shrugging their shoulders and still looking with disgust. Keller walks over to Jammer and grabs his arm and raises it to the air. Both men stand side by side in unison to a round of applause by the fans. Then, Keller and Jammer give each other a quick hug and look as if they are leaving the ring. But then, K.O. Keller grabs Jammer and executes the TEN COUNT. Jammer is laid out. Keller starts to yell, "Fine me too!" and then helps Jammer to his feet and helps him to the back. The crowd is both laughing and cheering as the two exit the arena.

A video is shown of the press conference where Dorado Sundown interupted Omega, then fades into the holotron where we see Dorado Sundown. The crowd is not quite sure what to make of these two yet.

Blacklash: Well, Bullwhip. The founding fathers told us to stand here behind this GWF banner and say somethin about our match tonight. So, what ya gotta say to the Guardians.

Bullwhip looks at Blacklash, then to the camera. He walks closer to the camera. He is chewing tabacco and you can see the wad pertruding from his left cheek. He then spits chew all over the camera lens and the two men laugh as the camera fades out.

The Guardians vs. Dorado Sundown

A green beam of light shined on the center of the ring and Dorado Sundown appeared. They began running around the ring. Bullwhip had a cow bell attached to a long rope and began swinging it around his head. The two men were crazed.

Then, a maroon and orange beam shined on the ring and Morpheus and Omega appeared. The crowd let out a thunderous applause for the two founding fathers. Dorado exited the ring which allowed Morpheus and Omega to jump on opposite turnbuckles waving to the crowd. Then both men dropped down ready for the announcements. However, before they could blink, Dorado Sundown jumped back into the ring and quickly attacked the Guardians. They began to beat on the founding fathers. Blacklash told the referee to ring the bell, but he refused. The referee was ordering both men to stop. Bullwhip sent Omega through the ropes and out of the ring. Blacklash was pounding on Morpheus then put him in an armbar as Morpheus grabbed the ropes. The referee again told him to break the hold and stop, but Blacklash pushed the referee aside sending him into the mat. The two Dorado ruffians physically intimidated the referee and Bullwhip started to scream.

Bullwhip: When we take over this joint, you'll really pay for that!"

Omega made his way back into the ring and approached the two men as they grabbed and bullied the referee.

Omega: What are you two doing? What do you mean by that?

Morpheus too backed up behind Omega. Dorado Sundown then began to throw punches once again. However, this time Morpheus and Omega did not take the attack lying down. They too began to deliver powerful blows sending Dorado on their heels. After getting the upper hand, Dorado beat a hasty retreat. Dorado gathered themselves and made their way to the back shouting back at the ring.

Bullwhip: Yer gonna pay for that!

Omega: Oh no! You literally will pay for that! We stand together and you will learn order.

The camera pans to Dorado walking restlessly to the back and then back into the ring at the Guardians. Omega looks on in disgust, but Morpheus seems to have a slight smirk on his face.

Crockett: What an abrupt end to a historical night fans. We got to go. We will see you in a month when we crown our first GWF Champion! Good night everyone. My God!

[glow=red,2,300]GWF Headquarters: Cetus
Behind the Scenes 09/27/2074[/glow]

The members of the GWF collective roster gather together at the GWF headquarters in Cetus weeks after their first ever event. Omega and Morpheus are at the head of the table leading the meeting while the wrestlers sit around the long and enormous silver table. The only members noticeably absent were Dorado Sundown, Screw, and the hooded figure.

Omega: Thank you all for being here today. I realize that we are interrupting your training for the biggest event in our organization's history. We have some very exciting news to share with you, but we also have some issues we need to address as well.

The wrestlers begin to softly rumble to one another.

Omega: Just give me a moment to explain. First, our show was the third highest rated show of the night behind the Galaxy Football League and the show 2 1/2 Men 4 Women and 5 grandchildren. This is very exciting for our company. Our ticket sales thus far, has steadily increased. We have our next show in a few weeks and early indication is that it will be bigger than our first show. I think the crowd was live, word of mouth got out, and the holonet has been buzzing. I thank you all for making this night a special one.

The wrestlers look at one another with pride, but are eagerly awaiting what will come out of Omega's mouth next.

Omega: But that leaves me to my next announcement.

Commander Sam: Here we go!

Omega: Yes, Sam. Here we go is right. You all sign contracts every month for matches. You are not fully employed by the company. You have the right to come and go as you wish. Being a part of this organization is a privilege, not a right. In the contracts you all signed, you agree to follow the code. And for some of you, that simply did not happen. So, with that, lets start with you Sam.

Sam: Wait, wait, wait. Before you let loose on me. Let me remind you that it wasn't very smart of you to book me with Torper if you wanted code and honor. Like teasing a kid with candy. Give me a break. How did you expect it to go? I will never, ever show respect to that (pointing his finger in the direction of Torper) to that slimy, ugly, puke filled, monster.

Torper slams his fists to the table and stands up. Sam too stands up as others begin to try and restrain the two.

Sam: You want some right now puke?

Omega: Enough you two or you will both be suspended for the next show.

After gathering themselves, they both sit back down.

Omega: That is exactly what I am talking about. That will not be tolerated in the GWF. You must find a way to overcome this. But I will have to agree with you that is was not very smart to book you two together for the first show. (Turning to Morpheus) Just like it was not smart to book Blood and Prince, Dorado and The Guardians, and some unannounced being showing up and competing without a signed contract.

Morpheus looks at Omega a bit surprised and taking off guard. He picks up a folder and stands up to speak.

Morpheus: You want me to address that...oh I will. Okay guys, it's no secret I asked Omega to book the first event. And Omega, you're right...it was not smart to book those matches knowing there was obvious bad blood. (He hesitates for a moment) IT WAS GENIUS!

The wrestlers laugh and some begin to clap and roar.

Omega: Are you serious?

Morpheus: Very serious. Lets look at the numbers shall we. Our viewing audience was a 12.1 to start the show. Then, it quickly rose when the holonet buzzed that the hooded figure showed up and the viewing increased to 13.4. When it was announced that Sam from Earth would face Torper from Cygnus..My goodness, the holonet almost shutdown from traffic, and the rating increased to a whopping 19.4. (Wrestlers look in amazement at one another while Sam looks on proud). Then, The rating dipped with Jammer and K.O. to a 17.8. However, quickly rose when Jammer threw K.O. into the turnbuckle to a 18.5. Then, when K.O. blindsided him, boy did we take off to a 21.2 rating. Finally, the main event drew a viewing audience of and closed with a 25.3. Now, I hate to say it, but it seems as if everything I did, helped bring this EXCITING news you spoke of earlier.

The wrestlers applaud Morpheus who sits back down and takes a sip of his Aldebaran Cosmo Brew. Torin Caelum and Omega are the only two not happy with his comments.

Omega: Alright enough! This nothing to be proud of. Clap if you want, but the U.F.S.P. set fines on our company, and those fines will be equally taken out of all your credits.

Wrestlers are not happy and show their frustration.

Omega: Sorry, we are a team. Bottom line. If one being makes a mistake, we all pay for it. You will learn order and respect. I will now be in charge of all booking and my decisions will be final. You don't like it, then there is the door. Now, I will not waste anymore time with this. We have the GWF Title tournament to discuss. If you would like to leave, then leave now.

The wrestlers look around at one another, but no one chooses to leave. Then, the door of the room flies open. Dorado Sundown walks in.

Blacklash: Hey fellas...sorry we're late?

Omega: I sent you two a hologram stating that you would be suspended for the next show. Didn't you get it?

Blacklash: Oh we got it, but then Bullwhip here ran out of toilet paper and used yer hologram to WIPE HIS ......

Omega: ALRIGHT, we get it. You two aren't welcome this month. For what you pulled last month, you will be taking some time off.

Blacklash: Oh, I don't think so Omega. Ya see, we got yer hologram...Bullwhip then used it of course to help his situation, then we received another hologram from yer partner inviting us back for the title tournament. Seems like ya two better figure yersleves out and get on the same page.

Omega: (Turning to Morpheus) Morph, you didn't?

Blacklash: Oh he sure did, and we are signed, sealed, and delivered. Check yer paperwork. We are on the bill.

Just then, Thetis and Vortex get up and make their way to the door.

Thetis: We are not interested in this. Take our names out of the tournament. We wish only to wrestle together and will concentrate on the tag team division. We will enter only the tag team tournament. Good luck, with all this whatever you want to call it.

The two exit.

Prince: Good, two less to worry about. The odds just got that much better.

Omega: Listen, this is all getting out of control. This is not good. With them dropping out, that leaves us an uneven number which means we would have to come up with a first round bye.

The wrestlers begin to debate and stake their claim for the coveted bye. Omega turns to Morpheus.

Omega: What did you do? This is already out of control. We will speak about this later. But now we need a solution to this problem.

Morpheus smirks at Omega, looks around at the table of wrestlers fighting with one another over the bye. He picks up his drink and downs it, slams the glass down on the table, then stands up. The slam of the glass grabs everyone's attention.

Morpheus: Okay, this is what we will do. Mensans, listen you were the last two to sign contracts last month. Therefore, only one of you will be able to compete for the heavyweight title. There, all is solved.

Cordsar: Are you kidding me? We have just as much right to both be in this thing as anyone else. Why are you penalizing us. Heck, we were the only ones that followed your precious code that night if I can be frank. Now, we are being fined for other's mistakes and getting the shaft on this. You can't be serious?

Morpheus: (Staring a mudhole through Cordsar. I AM VERY SERIOUS! YOU DON'T LIKE IT, THEN YOU CAN LEAVE AND i WILL GET SOMEONE ELSE. I have three applications right here already. Negro Morte, Killer Klondike, and Venemous. I can give that spot to one of them.

Blood: He told you. Why don't you sit and quit your whining.

Cordsar gets up and motions for Trotarus that they are leaving. However, Trotarus does not get up.

Cordsar: Trotarus, lets go.

Trotarus looks at Cordsar, then puts his head down. Cordsar looks helpless.

Morpheus: There you have it. Looks like you are the odd man out Cordsar. Thanks for volunteering. There...problem solved.

Cordsar was especially upset, but slowly makes his way back to his seat.

Omega: (Looking upset by all the chaos) Okay, a random drawing will take place the night of the event. You will all train for this event not knowing who you will face so that everyone is on the same playing field. Watch yourselves because referees have been instructed to hand out DQ's.

Keller: Yeah, we all know about that.

Omega: K.O. Can I speak with you after this meeting please.

Keller: With all do respect Omega. I think we need to discuss this now.

Jammer: I agree. DQ's. This is ridiculous.

Bullwhip: (Spitting his tabacco on the ground) Looks like ya got yerselfs in a bit of a bind there Omega. Ya see fellas, we brought it last month to the founding fathers while they weren't looking. Oh boo hoo. Ya get yer panties all in a bunch and want to suspend us. I don't know what kind of operation yer running here, but know this...yer only successful if we are wrasslin on yer cards. Ditch the DQ!

Jammer: Yeah, ditch the DQ.

Keller: I have to agree.

Torin Caelum stands up.

Caelum: I can't take it anymore. Look, the inmates will not run the asylum. Omega has given us all an opportunity to make a living legally again. Enough of all the whining and deal with it. Your lucky you have this chance. Now, suck it up. Prove yourselves in the ring. Do it right and may the best man win and lead this company. I have been part of a sinking ship before. I lived it. I gave some of you your first chance when you were a part of my league. When it all went down, you went about your lives while I was left to fend for myself and deal with creditors. I lost everything including my family. I lost all my assets. Now, be happy you have a job and compete to show you are the best. Follow the rules and prove yourselves. Enough already. Grow up!

The wrestlers all look at Caleum and the mood quickly changes. Torin has been around a long time and has the respect of everyone in the room including believe it or not Dorado. Caelum has earned the right to be the face of wrestling.

Keller: I got ya Torin. Very well said.

Jammer: Yeah, I got ya.

Blacklash: (Not wanting to admit it) Well, whatever. Lets just settle this thing and go about our business. Whatever he said...Fine!

Omega: So be it. Okay, we are done here. I have contracts for you all to sign. Come up and sign and then you are free to go.

The wrestlers sign the contracts. Morpheus hands two contracts to Omega.

Morpehus: Add two more. I’ll handle Cordsar.

Omega looks them over.

Omega: Screw? Santon The Loner? Who is this?

Morpheus: The silent hooded being. He is in!

Omega: Morph, WE REALLY NEED TO TALK!

Suddenly, the music faded and the lights went out. A single white beam shined on the center of the ring. The fans reaction was both cheers and murmuring in anticipation of what was to come. Then, teleported straight to the ring through the beam of light was a familiar looking being to those hardcore wrestling fans. The crowd begins to erupt…….

David Crockett IV appeared and stood in the middle of the ring to a thunderous applause. He looked around at the fans in attendance and took it all in. The crowd began chanting…WELCOME BACK! WELCOME BACK! It was very visible to see that Crockett got a bit emotional, but he gathered himself to begin the show and say those famous words.

[/color][/b]

Crockett: From planet to planet and around the galaxy, welcome to the Galactic Wrestling Federation. Hello everyone I’m Dave Crockett the IV coming to you live from the Deimos Intergalactic Arena.

The crowd goes berserk.[/quote]

A sight for sore eyes. It's a privilege to have Dave Crockett IV back on the scene!

Commander Sam’s face began to get really angry and was beginning to get upset listening to the way Torper was being praised. He runs over to the announcer and interrupts him pushing him aside extending his hand to Torper urging him to shake it for the code. Sam is breathing heavily and the anger begins to overcome him. Torper begins to look reluctant to begin. Sam begins to yell at Torper

Sam: Shake it you puke so I can kick your tail all over this ring!

Finally, Torper cautiously shakes Sam’s hand only to get a viscous boot to the midsection. The match begins.

Commander Sam vs. Torper

Torper was simply no match for the young Commander. Anytime the Cygnus warrior tried an offensive move, Sam would simply counter and make him look silly. For as decorated as he was as a tough Cygnus army hero, he was not very decorated in the form of pure wrestling moves. Sam seemed to have his way in embarrassing fashion. Torper keeps trying, but is no match for Sam. Finally, Sam finishes Torper off with the Star Spangled Banner which leaves Torper simply lifeless in the ring. Sam grabs his flag and walks over to the fallen Torper. He places his left foot on the chest of Torper and waves the flag around chanting USA! USA! USA! Again, a mixed reaction by the crowd.

I never bought into the black and white approach to the home worlds of the wrestlers (Earth=good, Cygnus=bad, Titan=good, CTA-102=bad). I hope to see more exploration of geo-political complexities that color into shades of gray, even if said approach flies over the head of the Commander Sam's of this world.

Crockett: Speaking of more to come, how about the decision to put you and Morpheus up against The new team of Dorado Sundown. After the press conference, looks like you are sending a message to the wrestlers of the GWF, that if you try and go against authority…you will be knocked down.

Omega noticeably becomes uncomfortable by the comment and puts his hand over the microphone of Crockett and begins to smile while whispering to Crockett.

Omega: What on Cetus are you talking about? I am in charge of booking, but allowed Morpheus to book this first card because he assured me he knew the talent better than I because he recruited most of them. And so far, it looks as if he is creating rivalries and surprises. Some hooded guy I had no clue about, Sam and Torper.…Prince and Blood to come, and now this…Never again. This will be handled.

Removing his hand and speaking into the mic again.

Omega: Well, David. The code must be followed and yes that goes for everyone competing in the GWF. This match was not booked to knock anyone down as you put it, but rather to show these great fans tremendous tag team wrestling. Speaking of tag team wrestling, that leads us to our next match. Thanks David.

Omega walks out of the ring and greets the fans and we fade back to the holotron.

I feel for Omega. I know from first hand experience, it isn't easy to run a business, or micromanage the myriad twists and turns that come with it. It gets even more complicated when someone like Morpheus is undercutting him on the sly. The GWF still has its share of responsible grown ups on the roster, locker room leaders like Torin Caelum and K.O. Keller. Yet the legend from Cetus may need the wisdom of Solomon, and the patience of Job, if he is to successfully navigate the drama that lies ahead.
