Champions of the Galaxy: GWF

[gwfman17]

Writing for Bobby was a tough decision. Almost upset I went with it. But, the 4 Horsemen are talkers. It will never happen again now with the angles taking off. Went back and edited it and took it off. Wasn't happy with it. The Enforcer and imposter Sampson Silver angles will be fun. Very short lived, but sets up a great story. The Behind the Scenes segments are my favorite to write. Having a lot of fun also bringing in the excerpts from COTG:Genesis, COTG Files, and the new E-Book by Tom. It is taking a bit of what is already established and making it my own. Writing for the Lost and Found characters has been fun. Only having a brief bio and no storylines leaves everything up to the imagination. This is why I chose to start my fed in 2070 and build up. I am saddened at times that my takes stream away from what was anticipated for those characters, but that is the challenge with nothing to go on. Taking Ratlicks dingy R.R.A.T.S. and making it the glitz and glam of the WWE is also something I am digging right now. Torin looking at Jack Hood's picture in his office (similar to Gagne losing Hogan), Sampson Silver jumping ship and saying others will follow (the old AWA) is devasting for any promotion struggling to contend. Torin's bad boy image may get him into trouble, but he has to try something to keep fans tuned in. He may need to reconsider his direction. We'll see. Thanks for continuing to read. I am humbled by your responses.

Exotic Adrian Street defeated Utter Nebula with a CRUCIFIX at 14:30

[glow=red,2,300]Too Sexy Working Their Way Back Up [/glow]
Crockett: Lets bring them over right now, Too Sexy. Came up a little short at the PPV when it counted guys. What's next for this team?

Cobra: Firsssst off. You need to watch your tone Crockett. Who do you think you are calling usssss out?

Crockett: Not calling you out, just stating the facts.

Cobra: The fact of the matter is thissss. We are ssstill one of the bessst tag teamsss in the SSSSGL. Unfortunately, we have to climb the ladder all over again.

Crockett: One team that may have your number is the new combination of Spirit Dancer and Toro Moldavo who got an impressive win over the United Nations at Solar Slam.

Cobra: Yesss they are impressssive indeed. If you like to watch two guysss with no character or persssonality.

Adrian: Good one Rex. Don't you know it. One of them talks like, BLAH, BLAH, BLAH, and the other doesn't talk at all. He may say, HOW! Give me a break. You are looking at a team with more charisma in our pinky fingers than they have in there whole body.

Cobra: If it isss them we have to get through to get back to a title shot, then ssso be it. It isss time for Too SSSSexy to regroup and earn back ssssome ressspect.

Crockett: Hard to respect two guys who dress the way you too do it seems.

Cobra Rex Sexy turns abruptly towards Crockett. His tongue comes out and begins to slither. Crockett suddenly looks intimidated.

Cobra: Better watch what you ssssay boy. You never know if you wordsss will caussse you to get bitten.

The two walk off and Crockett wipes the sweat from his head with a handkerchief.

Aerron vs. Benjamin Shroud
Benjamin Shroud defeated Aerron with a Blind Justice at 5:06

[glow=red,2,300]Shroud is on a Mission[/glow]
Crockett: Welcome back to the SGL program, Benjamin Shroud.

Shroud grabs the mic away from Crockett, then pushes him to the ground.

Shroud: No more! You hear me! No more! Time to put some guys in the SGL in their place. Time to get some things straight around here. I am from the mean streets of Earth. I am the baddest man on the planet. You hear me Cornettte? You and your band of idiots. Now, my bad, aligning myself with a money hungry white man who lives and dies by the due date. Just like creditors who hound you one day after missing a payment. Well, just like I do with those creditors. You keep harassing me, and I will find you and beat you down. Antiseptic, you made a huge mistake, and now it is time to get what's coming to you. Harley Marlboro, the new #1 contender? Hell no, this ain't over porkchop. You and I still have some unfinished business to settle. Cornette, you poked your nose into my business for the last time. You pencil neck geek. You are going down. I am creating my own army. We will come after you harder than anyone has ever done. Like a lion stalking their prey. The war is on. You will have to watch your back cause the Band of Brothers are coming soon.

Muddle vs. Chucho Morales
Chucho Morales defeated Muddle with a BOLIVIAN RHASPSODY at 4:26

[glow=red,2,300]The Rich Want to Get Richer [/glow]
Chucho Morales comes over to the announce table.

Crockett: What is next for the man from Bolivia, Chucho Morales?

Morales: My name is CHUCHO MORALES!

There is a mix between cheers and jeers as no one still knows what to make of this new comer.

Morales: Thank you, thank you very much. They luv me here in the SGL. But who doesn't chico? I am da man who will soon be the next big thing in the SGL. The ladies luv me. The guys want to be like me. And the paparazzi can't get enough of me. I am the richest man in the SGL. Yes, more money than even you el presidente Torin Caelum. There is no one here that can hold a candle to my wrestling skills, to my fame, and to my fortune.

Just then Praveer Singh makes his way to the ring for his match.

Crockett: Thank you Chucho, hate to cut this short, but it is time for our next.

Chucho grabs Crockett by the shirt.

Morales: Are you kidding me? You do not cut Chucho off chico. You do not disrespect royalty. Are you loco chico?

Chucho slams Crockett to the ground. Long night for the announcer. He then continues to rant on the mic.

Morales: Who is this man who comes to this ring to interupt Chucho Morales?

Morales walks to the ring where Praveer is waving the India flag around.

Morales: Do you have moment? I would like to have a word.

Praveer walks over to Chucho.

Morales: And you are?

Praveer: Eyes am Praveer Singh. Like you, Eyes a man of great wealth and privilege. Eyes bring glory and honor to de people of India. Eyes...

Morales: Whoa, whoa, whoa. Did you say a man of great wealth and privilege chico? You must be mistaken man. I am a man of great wealth and privilege chico. I am the only man with the fame and fortune.

Praveer: That tis fine, but where Praveer comes from, Praveer is the man......chico

Chucho's face begins to fume with anger, but then he smiles. He throws up his arms and begins to step away from Praveer. Praveer laughs and then turns around to put his flag down. Chucho sneaks up behind him and gives with a double axe handle to the back. He then picks up the flag and nails Praveer's back with it breaking it in two. He then begins to stomp on Praveer with a series of boots to the head. Security comes down and pulls Chucho off of Praveer. Praveer is laying in the ring and his head is busted open as we go to commercial.

The Grappler vs. Harley Marlboro
Harley Marlboro defeated The Grappler with a Harley Marlboro hits a perfect flying cross-body to the outside! at 4:03

[glow=red,2,300]SNUBBED [/glow]
KO Keller comes to the announce table for his scheduled spot for an interview, but Dave Crockett is no where to be found. He looks around, but no one comes over. Then, out from behind the back comes Torin Caelum wearing a suit and has the world title belt over his shoulder. He also has a mic in hand.

Caelum: Well, I am sorry to announce that Dave will not be able to conduct this interview. Poor Dave has had one bad night. So, they have asked the owner, booker, and your World Champion to proceed as scheduled. We do not want to let our fans down by scratching such important segments.

Keller smirks as if he were amused by the proceedings.

Caelum: So, let me look over what Dave was going to ask you. Okay, Welcome KO. How do you feel about coming up short to a more superior wrestler like Torin Caelum at the PPV? Wow! I can't believe he was going to ask that, but since he was going to, what about it?

Keller smirks once again in amusement.

Keller: Well, if you didn't grab....

Caelum pulls the mic away and grabs his ear as if someone was talking to him through the ear piece. Keller turns away and laughs.

Caelum: What's that. Oh, okay. That question was scratched at the pre meeting. Sorry about that, hold on. Sorry KO, just a minute. Well, what should I ask him?.....Not a problem. I can ask that yes. Thank you.

Keller once again looks at Caelum amused.

Caelum: Lets try this again in 3-2-1. So KO, how does it feel to know that if you lose tonight you will never get another shot at the title as long as Torin is the champion?

Keller: (Laughing) Oh, I will make sure that I w....

Caelum pulls the mic away again and grabs his ear as if someone was talking to him through the ear piece. Keller turns away and laughs once again.

Caelum: What's that. Oh, okay. That question was scratched too at the pre meeting. Sorry about that. I wasn't there. Well, what should I ask him now?.....Not a problem. I can ask that yes. Thank you.

Caelum: Lets try this again in 3-2-1. So KO, how does it feel to know you don't have a chance in hell of defeating Torin Caelum in that very ring tonight?

Keller's face turns to amazement. He takes a deep breath, then goes to answer.

Keller: Wow! I am a bit taken back by that. Well, let me tell you something Torin, I am going to....

Caelum pulls the mic away again and grabs his ear as if someone was talking to him through the ear piece. This time, Keller seems frustrated.

Caelum: What's that. Oh, really. We are running behind? Yes, of course we want our sponsors to run their commercial spots. Yes of course.... So, what do I do?..... Are you sure?... Okay if you say so.

Caelum drops the mic on the table and walks away. Keller is left standing there. His face begins to fume with anger as we go to commercial.

SGL World Title Match
Torin Caelum vs. K.O. Keller
for the Sagitta Grasps League Championship
Torin Caelum defeated K.O. Keller with a CAELUM\'S GRIP at 9:14
Match Notes: Benjamin Shroud made his way to the ring. Both Torin and Keller stop wrestling and look at Shroud. Shroud comes to the ring and gestures to his waste as if he wants the title. He jumps up onto the ring. He points at Caelum. Caelum looks around. Then, Caelum walks out the other side of the ring. Keller gets angry that Shroud is interrupting such an important match. He goes after Shroud, but Shroud jumps off the mat and onto the floor. Keller is draped over the top rope pointing at Shroud to get out. Just then, Caelum slides under the bottom rope and sneaks up behind Keller and applies the Caelum's Grip. Keller taps out and Caelum gets the win.

What is going on? What is the relationship between Caelum and Shroud? We will have to wait and see next week.

[vx]

Long night indeed for Crockett.

At least Nikita Koloff didn't clothesline him!

[gwfman17]

[glow=red,2,300]Behind the Scenes
08.23.2070 from Sagitta SGL Offices[/glow]

Torin Caelum is sitting in his office. The secretary comes on the intercom.

Secretary: They are here sir.

Caelum: Send them in right away.

There is a knock on the door and Torin Caelum tells them to come in. In walks the same two men that Caelum met a while back.

Caelum: Ahh yes, Sampson Silver and the Aldebaran Enforcer. The two biggest flops in the SGL. What a debut for you two 2 weeks ago. (Sarcastically) Very well received.

The two men look at each other. The long haired man put his head down, while the short haired man looked a bit angry.

Caelum: Lets look at the ratings from the show you two were on shall we? The 2 hour show scored a 1.28 cable rating, the program’s highest mark yet especially after the PPV. We averaged 1.93 million viewers over the course of two hours, which is the third largest average audience in the program’s history. However, the first hour drew a 1.34 rating before dipping to a 1.23 in the second hour.

Caelum puts the paper down and a look of confusion takes over his face.

Caelum: Now, why do you think the ratings dipped in the second hour? Maybe because the two of you botched your segments. Look, I brought you both in because I see potential. When I met with you both, I was impressed with your physicality and size. However, after watching you (pointing to the long haired man) taking a once electrifying character and making him look dazed and confused is unacceptable. You got your own personal life confused with the gimmick. You didn't keep that character alive. I had big plans for Gryphon until he took off, and thought you could carry the character. Now, I look like a fool. The fans didn't buy it. Ratlick is probably laughing his butt off. And the real Sampson Silver will go on in R.R.A.T.S with that gimmick and become a huge star. And you (pointing to the short haired man). You, I don't know. The day I met you I could tell you were going to be difficult. I mean, a great masked superstar is just what we needed. The suspense of who you were underneath the mask would have been huge. Why were you here? What is your story? Where did you come from? Are you good or bad? It would have kept the fans guessing for a long time. Then, you go pull a stunt like that. Going off script in the interview then unmasking yourself. What do I do with you now? I....

Caelum stops, then takes out a glass and bottle from the top drawer. He pours himself a drink then takes a huge swig.

Long Haired Man: Can I say something sir? (Caelum looks at him and nods) I am truly sorry. I messed up. I have so much training in wrestling and fighting, but no formal training when it comes to talking and interviews. I have wrestled so many years underground. It was about wrestling, not entertainment. I promise you from here on out if you keep me here. I will do whatever it takes to get better. Learn the trade. Learn from others. Learn from you. Whatever it takes. I killed the character of Sampson Silver, but if you can give me another gimmick, I will make it work. I promise.

Caelum looks over the long haired man.

Caelum: What is your real name again?

Long Haired Man: Omega sir. Omega of Cetus.

Caelum hits the intercom and asks his secretary to send for Spirit Dancer and Toro Moldavo.

Caelum: I just thought of something. It may work. We may be able to salvage this.

Caelum turns to the short haired man.

Caelum: And you?

Short Haired Man: What?

Caelum: (Looking more and more frustrated) Anything to say?

Short Haired Man: No, I think I am good.

Omega kicks the short haired man under the desk.

Short Haired Man: Oww!...I mean, I am sorry too.

Caelum: Sounds good.

Short Haired Man: I am sorry that I agreed to let you talk me into dressing up like a super hero and making me out to be something I'm not.

Omega: Morpheus! Enough!

Short Haired Man: No, let me get this out. I told you when I met you that I had a gimmick, a finisher, and a vision. But you didn't listen. You sent me home. Then, I don't hear from you until three weeks later when you show up at more door step promising me that you could make me a star. Then, I come in for my debut. I am in the back meeting all the superstars and I am in awe. As I am in the locker room getting ready, Crockett opens the door and throws a circus outfit at me and a script, and tells me to learn it cause I go on in 20 minutes. Are you serious? This is what kind of operation you are running here?

He gets out of his seat and makes his way to the door. Omega tries to grab his arm, but he pushes him away. Caelum stands up.

Caelum: Stop!

The man stops and turns around.

Caelum: Morpheus, right? Look, I don't admit it much, but I may have made a mistake on this one. Maybe I should have listened to your ideas instead of springing something on you last minute. That was not a good start to a potential working relationship. I was panicked. Losing Gryphon took me by surprise and I panicked.

Caelum walks over to a picture on the wall of him and a tall man with a black mustache and nasty teeth.

Caelum: (looking at the picture) See this man? Do you know who this is?

The two men walk over and look at the picture.

Morpheus: Of course, who doesn't? That is Jack Hood from R.R.A.T.S. The biggest star in the galaxy. Everybody knows him.

Caelum: Exactly right in some ways. But, I truly know him. This picture was taken before he was the great Jack Hood. He is member of the Globin race that do not feel much pain and live very long lives. He is over 300 years old, but still in his prime. Not many people know this, but Jack Hood was instrumental in forming POW in 2050 when wrestling was an outlawed sport. He was a very ferocious fighter who was known to cripple and maim other fighters. The fighting was so gruesome he had to have his jaw and teeth replaced with metal parts. He was one of the most feared men in the POW. I wrestled there in the early to late 60's. It was crazy some of the things I saw and did myself. Jack and I became great friends, bonded by the hunger to make it big and earn respect. We yearned to be feared by all in the underground. When the ban on wrestling was lifted, Jack and I spoke of creating the SGL. We were going to be partners and live our dream. The violence of our past brought us close together. However, I was able to let go of the brutal fighting and scars of the battles we experienced for so many years. Jack had a hard time transitioning.

Caelum begins to move away from the picture and walks over to his desk and sits down. Caelum continues.

Caelum: Then, Ratlick came around with his sports entertainment talk and his deep pockets. He saw Jack as a top draw and wanted to stem off the brutal and feared man Jack was in the underground. He looked to capitalize on extending the real Jack Hood into a larger than life character that the galaxy would fear, but want to see. Ratlick tried so hard to get him to be a part of his new spectacular show, but Jack was loyal to me and our dreams. Finally, throwing enough money and power at Hood, Jack jumped all in and now is the biggest star in sports entertainment. And, here I am left to try and compete against the mothership known as R.R.A.T.S. That was the whole purpose of dabbling in cloning technology. I needed top stars to try and compete with Ratlick. So far, things are heading in the right direction. But, I cannot afford to lose more talent.

Omega and Morpheus walk back over to the seats in front of Caelum's desk and sit down.

Caelum: You two remind me of Jack and I. I was always the patient one like you Omega, and Jack was always the one who wanted everything now like you Morpheus. But, who am I to judge? It worked out for Jack. So, what kind of man would I be for holding you back Morpheus from being the larger than life character you aspire to be? If you are not happy here with the roles I give you, then you are free to walk.

Morpheus ponders for a moment and then responds.

Morpheus: Mr. Caelum. I came here for one reason and one reason only and that is to make it big in the SGL. I want to be a game changer, a household name, a somebody. But at the same time, I realize I have much to learn. Omega reminds me of that often. Look, I want to be here and did not mean any disrespect. I want to help you compete in the ratings. I will do what it takes to help.

Caelum smiles. The secretary comes on the intercom informing Caelum that Spirit Dancer and Toro Moldavo are present. The two wrestlers walk into the office.

Caelum: Thanks for coming in on such short notice. We have a change in plans. Omega, meet Spirit Dancer. I am feeling a connection between you two that I feel will work. Omega, you have a look about you as I have told you before which is Native American like. We will dress you up like Spirit Dancer. The war paint, the feathers, the Native American garb. You will be a new tag team. We will call you Tribal Nation. You two will compete for the titles in due time. Omega, this will give you the opportunity to work on your mic skills. What do you think?

Omega looks at Spirit Dancer. Spirit Dancer walks over to him, pulls out a small compact, and rubs his fingers into it. He then paints two thick lines on Omega's right cheek. He then takes off his head band with two feathers sticking out of it and places it on top of Omega's head. Lastly, he takes off his necklace and places it around Omega's neck. Omega walks over to a mirror hanging on the wall. His eyes get really big.

Caelum: So what do you think? Omega of Cetus, the newest member of Tribal Nation.

Omega: I love it. I am in.

Caelum looks over at Toro Moldavo.

Caelum: Toro, meet Morpheus. This is the man who you'll will train to be a contender in this federation. Teach him all the skills he will need to be a successful wrestler. Morpheus, with your size and charisma, you will do great things. You and I will work together. I will teach you the tricks of the trade and underhanded tactics. I don't like the direction my character is going in, but I didn't think I had anyone here that could pull it off. We could make you that character that I wanted you to be under the mask. A man that is both cheered and jeered. This could be big if you pull it off. We have much to do. We will watch old tapes of the great Ric Flair and Dusty Rhodes. We will learn much from that and get great inspiration. Lets get to it, we have much to do and so little time.

[glow=red,2,300]SGL Show #10
08.24.2070 from Sagitta Forum[/glow]

[glow=red,2,300]Opening[/glow]
Crockett: From planet to planet and around the galaxy, Welcome to the SGL. Hello everyone it's Dave Crockett the IV coming to you live from the famous Sagitta Forum. Plenty of action ahead. We have the debut of a new tag team, a new singles wrestler, Antiseptic in action, Chucko Morales, KO Keller, The Nameless, and our World Champion has a special announcement. Lets get to the action.

[glow=red,2,300]Igneous and His Protégé'[/glow]
The lights in the arena go off and heavy metal music pumps out of the speakers. Then, the arena fills with a shade of red lights. In front of the curtain, we see two men rise through a ring of fire onto the elevated stage floor. Igneous is carrying a chalice of blood. When they reach the top, they make there way to the ring. The crowd now sees that the two men are Igneous and The Nameless. Igneous walks up the stairs to the ring, but stops and turns facing the crowd. The Nameless stops in front of him and kneels. Igneous takes a drink from the chalice and then spits it towards the crowd and it rains all over The Nameless.

Crockett: This entrance is reminiscent of an old faction in the 20th century called The Brood. This Igneous is a sick individual.

The Nameless enters the ring covered in remnants of blood. Muddle looked extremely nervous to have to face this man.

Muddle vs. The Nameless
The Nameless defeated Muddle with a Gama Kick at 11:04
Match Notes: After the match, Igneous entered the ring. He stands over the fallen Muddle in the center of the ring. He looks up and raises his arms to the rafters. Slowly descending from the rafters was a huge iron symbol with leather straps on them resembling a crucifix, but in the shape of a "I". As it reaches the ring it stops. One Eye comes down and joins The Nameless in the ring. Both men begin to strap Muddle to the iron crucifix as Igneous grabs the mic and begins to speak. His voice was very hoarse and deep.

Igneous: It will be revealed tonight that my disciples and I actually take orders from a higher power. This higher power owns the key to all beings heart and soul. Muddle, you will be the first to respond to his calling.

The iron crucifix begins to slowly rise to the rafters as the lights go out and the arena fills with the mysterious red light once again. It begins to rain a red liquid resembling blood from the rafters on top of Muddle as he rises. He is screaming for someone to help. The liquid is pouring all over the top of him. Just then, another jobber named Aerron runs into the ring. He grabs onto the iron crucifix and begins to pull on it. Nameless and One Eye grab him, but the damage is done. The crucifix breaks off and falls inside the ring. The lights go back on and security and medics come out. Igneous grabs a hold of The Nameless and One Eye and the three rise quickly to the rafters and vanish. Muddle is screaming at security to get him off the crucifix as we go to commercial.

Barry O III vs. Antiseptic
Antiseptic defeated Barry O III with THE BLACK PLAGUE at 2:26
Match Notes: A man all dressed in black with a black mask jumps the guard rail and hits the ring. He nails Cornette then Antiseptic with a fist full of quarters. Quarters spill all over the ring and the two are knocked out and lay in the ring. The man in black jumps through the ropes, leaps back over the guard rail, pushes through the crowd and disappears. The Express and Harley Marlboro come down and help out their fellow comrades as we go to commercial.

[glow=red,2,300]Cornette Has Lost IT! [/glow]
Crockett: Mister Cornette and the.....

Cornette: Shut your trap baldy and give me that mic. What the hell was that? All I know is that Antiseptic is kicking some guys rear end and the next thing I know I am drooling from the side of my mouth with Harley standing over me. Then, they tell me some overstuffed whale dressed in black had gone and knocked the stuffing out of me and my boy. Well, what in tar nations is going on? Shroud, is this what you meant by the Band of Brothers. Well, lets get something straight. You try pulling that again and rest a sure your Brothers will be filled with Band Aids. We are the Horsemen jack ass and we run the show. Come on boys, I need to call my mama!

Crockett: Well, lets get back to it.

Tribal Nation vs. Grappler and Brooks
Omega defeated The Grappler with a TOMAHAWK THRUST at 4:10

[glow=red,2,300]An Abrupt Interruption [/glow]
Crockett: What an exciting victory for this new young tag team called Tribal Nation. What are your plans in the SGL Omega?[/color]

Omega: This is an amazing time in our lives right now. To be teamed up with an exciting wrestler like Spirit Dancer, wrestling for an up and coming promotion like the SGL, and battling the top wrestlers in our sport. It couldn't get any better than this.

Crockett: You sound very humble for the opportunity to wrestle here.

Omega: Our passion in life is the sport of wrestling. We plan to work together and try to be a top-draw in tag team wrestling.

Crockett: You are from Cetus I understand and your partner is from South Dakota. What is the Native American connection?

Omega: My partner is from the Black Hills of South Dakota where our people were forced to migrate and established it as home. We live in the shadows of our oppressed people and plan to right the historic wrongs. When space travel came to the forefront, many Native Americans sought refuge on the planet of Cetus. My parents and Spirit Dancer's parents called Cetus their new home. We both grew up together with the same mission in life. Fight for our people and do it with honor.

Crockett: Very exciting. It is great to see such...

Just then, Exotic Adrian Street III arrives on the set to confront the new team.

Crockett: What is the meaning of this? We are conducting a very positive interview right now with a young and talented team.

Adrian: Oh, this won't take long Davey Crockett, King of the Wild Frontier. (Starts to sing) Davey, Davey Crockett, King of the wild...

Crockett: I get it, I get it. Ha! Ha!

Adrian: Like I was saying. This won't take long. Spirit Dancer apparently cannot make up his mind. Singles, to teaming with Moldavo, to teaming with this guy. Sexy Rexy and I can't get it straight anymore. For such oppressed people you are fighting for, you two are boring us to death.

Spirit Dancer lunges at Adrian, but Omega holds him back.

Adrian: Much anger in this one. Seems like we need another Trail of Tears for the two of you and ship you back to Cetus.

This time Omega lunges at Adrian, but out from no where Cobra Rex Sexy attacks. The four go at it as Crockett drops the mic and bails. The two teams fight to the back as we go to commercial.

[glow=red,2,300]Change of Heart[/glow]
Crockett: Lets get him over here, KO Keller.

Keller: And just where were you last week?

Crockett: I saw the footage and I am sorry.

Keller: Caelum, you have embarrassed me for the last time. You have cheated on two separate occasions and the buck stops here. Benjamin Shroud. You have awoken a giant. Not sure if you and Torin got something going on or not, but let me tell you something. You have more than just the Horsemen to worry about now.

Torin Caelum walks out onto the set with the title on his shoulder.

Caelum: Let me stop you right there friend. I know you are angry and you have every right to be.

Keller: You bet your ass Torin.

Caelum: Easy big man, let me finish. You are right about one thing. I have embarrassed you. But let me tell you what I have realized recently. As much as I embarrassed you, I have embarrassed myself. I have gotten off the beaten path and traveled to a place I have no business being in. I have lost my way and want so desperately to change my focus and do what's right. Not for you or any of these fans, but for myself. I am holding this title right here and have managed to keep it due to dirty tactics. That was never my intentions. I need to learn to let go and allow the great men in this company show their talents in the best way possible. If I defend this title and lose fair and square, then so be it. I must defend this title with dignity and honor, and it begins tonight.

The crowd is skeptical, but they begin to cheer in hopes Torin Caelum has changed his ways.

Caelum: I am truly sorry my friend for costing you a chance to be your very best. I ask you to forgive me and help me press forward. I ask that you allow me a chance to make this up to you in that very ring tonight. You and me for the title. No tricks or dirty play. Just skill vs. skill. What do you say KO?

Caelum sticks out his hand. The crowd is cheering in a deafening tone. Keller looks around at the crowd who is urging him to shake his hand. He looks back at Caelum who stands there looking at him very humble. Keller reaches out slowly and grasps Caelum's hand. The two shake hands and hug for a brief moment.

Crockett: What a momentous occasion. Torin Caelum has found his way home and tonight the two very best this company has to offer will do battle for the most prestigious prize in our sport. Wow!

Morpheus vs. Utter Nebula
Morpheus defeated Utter Nebula with a TRIP TO HADES at 5:18
Match Notes: Toro Moldavo escorted the new comer to ringside. The crowd went nuts seeing Toro and the new comer they fell in love with a few weeks back. Toro stayed at ringside throughout the match coaching the youngster up. Morpheus would listen to the Master by performing holds every time Moldavo calls for it. Finally, Toro calls for the MATA LEO. Morpheus hesitated, but then performed the move. The crowd cheered, but seemed disappointed. Morpheus looked around at the crowd. Toro called for Morpheus to pin Nebula. Morpheus got on top of Nebula for the 1-2, but then pulled Nebula's hair up. Toro who was half way in the ring to celebrate the victory stopped in his tracks. The ref told him to get off the apron and Toro did so. Morpheus then looks to the crowd and begins to shout.

Morpheus: YOU WANT IT? HUH? YOU WANT IT?

The crowd goes bonkers and then Morpheus performs the TRIP TO HADES. The crowd goes crazy as Morpheus pins Nebula with the 1-2-3. Toro enters the ring and goes to grab the young mans arm to raise it, but Morpheus shakes him off and runs to jump up on the second rope. He raises his arms and the crowd cheers loudly. He then runs to the other three turnbuckles and does the same thing. Toro is standing in the middle of the ring clapping his hands, but his face seems turned off. Morpheus jumps out of the ring and begins to shake hands with members of the crowd and makes his way to the back. Toro leaves the ring and slowly walks behind the young star as we go to commercial.

Chucho Morales vs. Ozymov
Chucho Morales defeated Ozymov with a Side Effect at 5:59
Match Notes: After the match, Ozymov lays in the center of the ring. Morales goes over to the ring attendant who is holding his jacket. He reaches in the pocket and pulls out a large sum of credits. He walks back over to Ozymov and begins to shove the credits down Ozymov's mouth. Then, Ozymov's partner Praveer Singh comes to the ring and looks to attack Chucho from behind. He jumps into the air ready to deliver a thunderous elbow, but Chucho moves quickly and Praveer lands on top of Ozymov's chest. Praveer gets up and looks at his partner in pain. He begins shouting at Morales who has slid out side the ring and up the aisle. Chucho is laughing at him and tapping his index finger to his head signaling he is smart as we go to commercial.

SGL World Title Match
Torin Caelum vs. K.O. Keller
for the Sagitta Grasps League Championship
K.O. Keller defeated Torin Caelum with THE TEN COUNT at 7:31
Match Notes: This match was epic and a classic wrestling match. Caelum put on the Caelum's Grip and was going to win the match. However, KO Keller worked his way to the ropes making Caelum break the hold. Caelum waited for Keller to let go of the rope and as he did, went to deliver the hold again. However, Keller kicked him into the midsection and then delivered THE TEN COUNT. One ... two ... kickout! The crowd went ballistic and Keller was in shock. Keller went to pick up Caelum, but Caelum rolled away and ran against the ropes looking to do a cross body block. But Keller caught him in the air and delivered a second TEN COUNT. One ... two ... three! We have a new champion.

Crockett: I cannot believe what I just witnessed. What a classic battle between these two superstars. But in the end folks we have a new World Champion.

Keller cannot believe it. He is kneeling next to a fallen Caelum with his head in his hands. The announcer makes the announcement.

Announcer: The winner, and NEW SGL WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION- KO KELLER!!!!!!

Torin rolls himself out of the ring as confetti begins to fall from the rafters. The crowd is chanting KO KELLER! KO KELLER! Torin grabs the world title and jumps back into the ring. He holds the title and looks at it for awhile. Keller looks at him wondering what he will do. The crowd begins to hush as all anticipate Torin's next move. Torin walks over to Keller. He tells Keller to turn around. Keller reluctantly turns around. Caelum continues to place the belt around Keller's waste. Keller puts his arms up in excitement. After he is done, Caelum swings Keller around and the two embrace. Caelum then grabs Keller's arm and raises it up. The crowd is chanting THAT WAS AWESOME! THAT WAS AWESOME! as the show fades to black.

Morpheus, with your size and charisma, you will do great things. You and I will work together. I will teach you the tricks of the trade and underhanded tactics. I don't like the direction my character is going in, but I didn't think I had anyone here that could pull it off. We could make you that character that I wanted you to be under the mask. A man that is both cheered and jeered. This could be big if you pull it off. We have much to do. We will watch old tapes of the great Ric Flair and Dusty Rhodes. We will learn much from that and get great inspiration. Lets get to it, we have much to do and so little time.

A bargain that could ultimately redefine SGL history! For better or worse, readers may one day look back and know that this was the moment it all began. The changing of the guard, where 'booker/self promoted top draw' transitions his spot to the 'charismatic star/chosen one' is at root a Prisoner's Dilemma. Time is a wasting asset for both sides. Morpheus has to know in the back of his mind, that for the very reason he's being handed this golden opportunity, Torin will eventually look to go 'another direction'. On the flip side, the more successful Morpheus becomes, the more damage the positioning he achieves can do should he pull a power play to protect his interests...interests which may one day no longer coincide with Torin's. Independent agendas abound. Down the road, TC may be hitting the bottle a lot harder if he winds up gambling away what he prizes the most, his decisive grip over his own business.

Every relationship has peaks and valleys, this should make for an interesting journey!

What a match that will go down in SGL history. We will see the new champion tonight. We will also see our former champion Torin Caelum who has a special announcement. Plenty of action tonight, lets get to it.

Barry O III vs. Toro Moldavo
Toro Moldavo defeated Barry O III with a MATA LEO at 7:10

[glow=red,2,300]Teacher and the Student [/glow]
Crockett: Lets get him over here right now, Toro Moldavo. Nice win for you tonight Toro and I understand you have some exciting news happening?

Moldavo: Thank you so much. It is an honor to wrestle here in the SGL. So much is happening to me right now in my career. I am proud to announce that we have opened a brand new wrestling school thanks to the financial backing of my dear friend Torin Caelum. I am from the jungle planet of Procyon with a family fighting tradition that runs generations deep. And now, I am able to share my traditions with young men who strive to achieve their goals as a professional wrestler. We are calling this new school Moldavo Jiu Jitsu with our motto being Clich, Control, Subdue. Some of my students will learn various techniques in the arts as well as many wrestling maneuvers. The purpose in to use this school as the training grounds for the SGL. This will be a developmental territory that will have a weekly holovision program on the Galaxy House Sports Network and can be seen every Sunday night at 6:00 pm.

Crockett: That is exciting news. We understand that you already have a graduate of the program who we saw last week. A man known as Morpheus who has already been a hit with these fans.

Moldavo: Yes, you have already saw this young man in action. He is a little recluse, but will learn discipline in time. He went a little too far in his first match. I believe the adrenaline kicked in and it got the best of him. As I already explained, we teach Clich, Control, Subdue. Well, he did all three, but when the man was down and out, he continued to inflict harm. That is something we do not teach and will continue to work on.

Morpheus walks onto the set to a thunderous ovation.

Crockett: Well, here he is now, the newest protégé of the great Toro Moldavo, the student himself, Morpheus. Morpheus, how did it feel to get your first victory on this very program as Morpheus the man under the mask?

Morpheus: First off, I would like to apologize to Mr. Toro Moldavo for my actions in my first match. He is correct in saying my adrenaline got the best of me. I was so hyped up for my match. When I was under that mask the first time and took it off, the crowd went crazy. Torin set me up with Toro to teach me control and balance. I guess I let my emotions get the best of me. I will do my best to try and not let that happen again. I need to wrestle with honor and respect for competition. And that is just what I will do for now on.

Moldavo: I am proud of you Morpheus. I have taught you well.

Crockett: Well, we will see you action next up. I think we all are looking forward to your match.

Morpheus: Thank you Dave and thank you to these great fans for your continued support. I will not let you down Mr. Moldavo.

Morpheus vs. The Grappler
Morpheus defeated The Grappler with a MATA LEO at 6:41
Match Notes: Morpheus wrestled a very scientific match with Moldavo at ringside. In the end, Morpheus applied the Mata Leo to the Grappler. The Grappler was pleading in pain until finally tapping out. When the bell sounded, Morpheus did not break the hold. The referee was calling for him to stop, but Morpheus did not let go. Toro Moldavo entered the ring and demanded Morpheus to stop. Morpheus was looking diabolical as he continued to inflict pain. Finally, Morpheus let go. The crowd began to cheer TRIP TO HADES! TRIP TO HADES! Morpheus began to smile as he looked at the crowd chanting. Moldavo grabbed Morpheus and was shaking his head no. Morpheus then stopped smiling and put his head down and began to exit the ring with Moldavo. As they reached the ropes, Morpheus held open the ropes. The fans began to boo. As Moldavo stepped out and onto the floor, he looked back up at Morpheus who was still sitting on the ropes. Moldavo gestured for Morpheus to come at once. Morpheus looked at him, then over to the Grappler who was starting to rise to his feet. Then, Morpheus stood up and turned his attention to the Grappler. Moldavo jumped up onto the mat, but it was too late. Morpheus grabbed the Grappler and nailed the Trip To Hades. The crowd went bonkers. Moldavo smacked the top rope in anger and jumped back down off the mat. Morpheus celebrated his move and played to the fans. Moldavo left him and walked to the back. Morpheus jumped on the second rope and raised his arms to the air as the fans cheered and we fade to black.

[glow=red,2,300]Spotlight on Benjamin Shroud [/glow]
We come back from commercial and we see a vignette of an aerial view on the SGL ring as the camera is in the rafters. There is no crowd. The screen is black and white and we see a man sitting on a stool in the center of the ring. As the camera pans closer to the ring, we see that the man sitting is Benjamin Shroud. He has his head down and begins to speak.

Taken from an excerpt from the LWPD Create a Character description altered to fit my story.

Shroud: My view of the world and my place in it has been shaped by experience.

A cut scene to a dark figure dressed in black getting out of a transport.

Shroud: Both of my own life and the relayed experiences of those around me.

A cut scene where we see the back of the dark figure walking up to a bar. He stops at the door and pulls out a gun with his right hand.

Shroud: I am driven to avenge the death of my father.

A cut scene to a hand holding a gun, then a shot fired.

Shroud: I seek to accomplish this by raising universal awareness of my philosophy of negative liberty.

A cut scene to Mister Cornette helping Harley Marlboro win his match against Shroud.

Shroud: I view myself as an important leader in the individual rights movement. If you disagree with what I view as the truth, then I view you as evil and intentionally dishonest.

A cut scene of Shroud beating on someone in the ring.

Shroud: And now, I declare war on the persecutors of corruption in the SGL.

The camera begins to close up on Shroud's face as he continues to look down.

Shroud: I declare persona non grata on the 4 Horsemen.

A cut scene to a dark figure attacking Antiseptic and Mister Cornette.

Shroud:(He looks up at the camera) The revolution has begun. The Band of Brothers will reunite. The Liberty Movement will destroy the very foundation known as The 4 Horsemen. You've been warned!

The camera is slowly panning back and we see a man dressed in all black with a dark mask step into the scene behind Shroud. Both men put up their right arm and make a fist as the camera fades to black

[glow=red,2,300]Igneous Is Ready For A Sacrifice[/glow]
The lights in the arena go off and heavy metal music pumps out of the speakers. Then, the arena fills with a shade of red lights. In front of the curtain, we see three men rise through a ring of fire onto the elevated stage floor. Igneous is carrying a chalice of blood and is in the center of The Nameless and One Eye who rise with him. When they reach the top, they make their way to the ring. Igneous walks up the stairs to the ring, but stops and turns facing the crowd. The Nameless and One Eye stop in front of him and kneel. Igneous takes a drink from the chalice and then spits it towards the crowd and on The Nameless and One Eye.

Crockett: This Igneous is a sick individual and we will get our first look at him in action as he faces the man who ruined his plans last show.

Aerron is patiently waiting and does not looked phased by this monster.

Aerron vs. Igneous
Igneous defeated Aerron with an ADIOS MOTHER LOVER at 2:59
Match Notes: After the match, Igneous stands over the fallen Aerron who was no match for him. The lights in the arena go out. Lightening flashes in the arena and fog begins to rise by the entrance curtain. The zealots begin to emerge from behind the curtain and walk out to the ring one by one(one behind the other) holding long black torches with fire on the ends. As they approach the ring, fog begins to fill the ring and a single white light shines on Igneous. The tron flashes words on the screen.

[glow=red,2,300]THE CLEANSING WILL BEGIN! [/glow]

Igneous looks up and raises his arms to the rafters. Slowly descending from the rafters is the huge iron crucifix in the shape of an "I". As it reaches the ring it stops. One Eye and The Nameless come in the ring. Both men begin to strap Aerron to the iron crucifix as Igneous grabs the mic and begins to speak.

Igneous: Unlike the past, it will be revealed tonight that my disciples and I take orders from a higher power. This higher power owns the key to all beings heart and soul. Aerron, you have interrupted Muddle's calling. So now, you will be the first to respond to his calling.

The iron crucifix begins to slowly rise to the rafters as the lights go out and the arena fills with the mysterious red light once again. It begins to rain a red liquid resembling blood from the rafters on top of Aerron as he rises. Aerron disappears into the rafters. The lights go out again. After a few seconds, the lights go back on and everyone in the ring has vanished.

Harley Marlboro vs. Rusty Brooks III

[glow=red,2,300]The 4 Horsemen Show Solidarity [/glow]
After his match, Harley is joined at the announce table by The Express and Antiseptic and of course Mister Cornette.

Cornette: Well, what a barrel of laughs we just witnessed about 20 minutes ago as Benjamin Shroud declares war on the 4 Horsemen. Well, let me tell you something Shroud. The fact of the matter is this. It is going to take a lot more muscle than you and that over stuffed monkey you call a brother to take out the Horsemen. You see, we are not scared of anyone who calls us out because we are the original daddy. This is the true movement in the SGL. Breakin bones, breakin legs, and breakin young ladies hearts. But let me tell you this. My mama always said you never back down from a challenge so I'm gonna tell you what. You can't have Handsome Harley because he is rightfully the #1 contender for the World Title and will have his time in the spotlight in the very near future. However, it seems like you are filled with redemption. I'll tell you what, Antiseptic is a free man. There is a PPV coming up that Torin Caelum will speak on a little later. What do you say, you and Antiseptic go at it once and for all. Sign the dotted line Shroud and prove to all these people that you are truly the jack ass you say you are. Don't sing it, bring it. Now, onto something worth talking about. About to enter the ring right now. The two men all the ladies dump their redneck husbands for just to get a glimpse of them, Sweet Stan and Beautiful Bobby, the Midnight Express!

Crockett: Lets get to the action.

The Midnight Express vs. O No

[glow=red,2,300]KO Keller is the Champ [/glow] Crockett: We have him here for you right now folks. The new SGL World Heavyweight Champion. KO Keller.

Keller: That's right Crockett. The shot heard around the galaxy happened a few weeks ago. First off, I want to thank my friend Torin Caelum for giving me this great opportunity. But now, this is the dawn of a totally new era. KO Keller has arrived. Get use to this face and get used to this body because there is nothing like it. KO Keller signifies the dominance in professional wrestling today. The athletic ability and the stamina is second to none. I am the physical specimen that will lead the SGL into a whole new generation. Let this be a message to Harley Marlboro, Mister Cornette, or any wannabees in the back. I am the champion. I am a fighting champion. If you step into the ring with me, you are stepping into a whole lot of danger. I will take you out and watch you fall victim to the Ten Count. Bring it on boys! KO Keller is here!

This match ended in a draw at 3:55
Match Notes: This match was a no contest as both Exotic Adrian and Spirit Dancer entered the ring an both teams went at it.

[glow=red,2,300]Torin's Big Announcement [/glow]
Crockett: Well, we have come to the end of our show, but we could not end it without getting Torin Caelum out here tonight.

Caelum walks onto the set and the crowd goes crazy.

Caelum: Thank you so much. I am so happy to be back in the right frame of mind Dave, and so happy to make this announcement.

Crockett: What do you have for us Torin?

Caelum: Well, it is PPV time once again. Our first PPV was such a success, we decided to do another one. October is right around the corner and that means Halloween. Well I have a treat for all of you. On October 31, Halloween night, we will play host to a PPV we are calling Sagitta House of Horrors! You will see plenty of action and matches will be announced very soon. I can tell you a few as it stands right now. Too Sexy will face Tribal Nation. Chucho Morales will take on Praveer Singh. Antiseptic faces Benjamin Shroud. The Midnight Express defend the tag team titles against the Diablo Kill Squad. And for the World Title, no not me and a rematch clause. No, KO Keller defends the world title against the man who is the #1 contender Handsome Harley Marlboro. More matches to be announced soon.

Crockett: What about you Torin?

Caelum: Well, that is the exciting part. We will have a first ever, House of Horrors battle royal match which will be held inside a steel cage. The winner of the match will be the new #1 contender for the SGL title. You must be the first man to climb over the cage and onto the floor. The participants will be myself, Igneous, Toro Moldavo, Chucho Morales, Benjamin Shroud, Morpheus, and Ozymov. There may be new entrants, but this is where it stands for now. Should be exciting!

Crockett: Exiting indeed. That is all the time we have folks...

Behind the Scenes- Igneous and his CALLING
09.13.2070 from Aethra

[shadow=red,left,300][glow=red,2,300]Welcome to Aethra[/glow][/shadow]

Some excerpts taken from COTG: Genesis, but paraphrased to fit storyline.

After the last show, Igneous captured Aerron and indicated he would be answering the Calling! As it stands now, the beginning of this scene, we see a dark black screen. We can only hear noises of what sounds to be a transport maneuvering through the air. Buttons are being pushed and we hear a muffled and deep voice.

Deep Voice: Permission to land. Trisek number 000666. I see target area at 45 degrees and need clearance to land in T-minus 15 seconds.

Voice from Speaker: Permission granted. Welcome back Igneous.

Loud vibrations and rattling are heard as a transport slowly makes it way down to the landing area. Buttons are being pushed and loud blasts of wind echo until finally all is silent.

Igneous: Grab him and bring him this way.

Still a dark screen, we hear a muffling of a man's weak voice. We hear shackles and slow moans.

Igneous: Get the other one too.

We hear walking from several bodies and two in particular in shackles. In the background we hear hammering and pounding on steel. Finally, the walking stops and a huge grunt bellows out as if someone were tossed to the ground. Another one sounds as well.

Then, a bright light enters the scene as a hood is pulled off our subject. The scene is very blurry. As the frame begins to get clear, we see lava riddled Iron Plains and Bloodstone Mountains. As the subject looks around, we see Igneous, One Eye, and The Nameless standing in front of a huge skyscraping tower. The subject looks around to the other side and sees a familiar face, his friend Muddle. We now know that the subject is Aerron. He looks up the tower and sees a brooding dark figure standing on top of a balcony looking down at them.

Igneous: Welcome to Aethra boys.

Zealots enter the scene and grab Aerron and Muddle and wrestle them into the fortress. As they walk in the fortress, a dark figure enters the scene and stands behind Igneous.

Dark Figure: Good work Igneous. They will do well here. One will remain a slave, the other may go through the cleansing process. Your bounty hunter skills have done you well. The credits agreed upon have already been transferred to your account.

Igneous: Thank you sir.

Igneous begins to walk away, but the dark figure blocks him from moving forward.

Dark Figure: I have one more thing to ask of you Igneous.

Igneous: What is it?

Dark Figure: The two men you arrived with. Do they satisfy you?

Igneous: They do the job for now.

Dark Figure: A man like you needs to establish his mark in the SGL as more than a cult leader, but rather a respected and feared performer. I have a master plan to one day rule wrestling. But, I need the right parts in place. Tell you what. Why don't you stay a little longer. Maybe we can rejuvenate your two slugs and make them dominate forces. We can put them through the cleansing process and make them into supreme fighting machines. Then, when you show up to the SGL, you will have a premier tag team that no one can stop. They will dominate. There are still a few kinks that we are working out with the process. So, lets consider this a trial run. What do you say?

Igneous looks over to his transport and sees the Nameless and One Eye standing by the transport.

Igneous: Sounds good. But what happens if anything goes wrong?

Dark Figure: They will have a place here. We will place them in competition here in the War Dome of Aethra. And, for a man like you, you will have no difficulty finding new disciples.

Igneous: Can I watch?

The Dark Figure laughs.

Dark Figure: You are from our sister planet Ara, so technically no. But, I will make an acceptation this time.

Igneous calls for One Eye and Nameless to make their way over to him.

Igneous: Gentlemen, we have a change of plans.


[glow=red,2,300]Slave Now? [/glow]

Excerpts from COTG: Genesis altered to fit my current storyline.

As Aethran culture dictated, when a prisoner is taken hostage, they were to be stripped of any indentifying marks of their heritage. Along with their freedom, the slaves lost their garb, their families, and their language.

Muddle and Aerron were escorted down a large dark hallway with hanging torches of fire on the walls. They arrive at a desk. Another zealot is sitting at the desk with a clipboard in hand.

Zealot: (looking at Muddle) You. Where are you from and what is your family background?

Muddle: I am from Polaris. My parents were respected members of the monarchy before they were brutally slain in front of me by the despicable Gladiators of Aethra. They raped my family of all its riches during the Galactic Wars and left me with no parents and no royal ties.

Zealot: I would watch my tone if I were you boy. You're in the wrong place to shout allegations. (Looking at Aerron)And you, what is your story?

Aerron: I never knew my parents or where I came from. My past is a distant jumble of scattered memories. I remember some sounds, smells, and faces. But all in all, I don't know and I don't care.

A deep voice in the background is heard.

Voice: Silence! Stitch them up at once.

Muddle and Aerron are again dragged down another hallway into a dungeon like room with a single black table in the center. Zealots push Muddle onto the table. They then strap his arms and legs down and tie him tight to the table.

Muddle: What are you doing? What is this?

Aerron is trying to free himself away from the zealots that were holding him, but he is too weak. A zealot enters from a dark corner of the room holding a shiny metal plate. He grabs a barbed ridge wire that looks like a small mask and places it on top of Muddle's mouth. Muddle's screaming is finally sentenced to loud groans. The zealot screws the metal wire through his lips and the metal plate is fastened to his mouth silencing him forever.

After the procedure, Muddle is taken off the table and brought to a holding cell across the hall. The zealot motions to the zealots holding Aerron to bring him to the table. Aerron tries to struggle, but cannot break free. Then, a deep voice is heard again.

Voice: Wait! Bring him to me.

The zealots stop struggling with Aerron and bring him over to a dark figure who is standing in the doorway.

Voice: Release him at once. Follow me Aerron.

We see Aerron and the large dark figure walking away from the camera down the hallway.


[glow=red,2,300]Aerron's Cleansing [/glow]
Aerron and the man with the deep voice arrive from down the hallway to a large steel door.

Aerron: What are they going to do with Muddle? What is this place?

Voice: No worries Aerron. He will be fine. All will be clear in a few moments for you. You will learn the ways of a Gladiator. You will no longer be just a jobber in the SGL. You will be a feared fighting machine. As for Muddle. He is not strong enough to handle this calling. He will be placed in the War Dome and meet his untimely fate.

Aerron: No, you mean?

Voice: Yes, unfortunately only the strong willed is called upon. You have shown that you do not fear anyone. Igneous told us that you tried to save Muddle and ruined his plans. Then, you had a match against him and showed little fear. This is why we chose you.

Aerron: Who is we?

Voice: My name is General Vanguard and I represent a population a warriors known as the Gladiators of Aethra. We serve our leader The Minister Dirge the Decapitator. This is his land. He calls the shots. He's the judge and jury (COTG: Genesis). We follow Aethran law and code. He follows the advice of the zealots who read the stars and tell him of his mission in life. All of his decisions are based on their readings. And the zealots have told him of the great things you will accomplish in life. You will be the first representative of Aethra that will show the galaxy our true power.

They both hear screams from beyond the door.

Aerron: (startled) What is that?

Vanguard: That is your destiny.

Aerron tries to run away, but Vanguard's massive physique over powers him. The door swings open and standing there is Igneous, zealots, and Dirge the Decapitator himself. Then, Aerron sees two large hulking figures drenched in a liquid and breathing heavily. Igneous looks at Aerron.

Igneous: Confused are you slag? I told the galaxy I answer to a higher power. And his name is Dirge the Decapitator......Now, meet the man formerly known as One Eye.

The zealots begin to dress the hulking man and clothe his naked body with black tights. They place huge pads with metal spikes pointing out of them over his shoulders. Finally, they paint his face. When they are finished, they spin him around to reveal his new form.

Dirge: No longer will you be known as One Eye. You now go by the name Moil!

The zealots begin to dress the other hulking man and clothe his naked body with black tights. They place huge pads with metal spikes pointing out of them over his shoulders. Finally, they paint his face. When they are finished, they spin him around to reveal his new form.

Dirge: No longer will you be known as The Nameless. You now go by the name BLITZ! You and Moil will go now with Igneous to the SGL. You will be a tag team and represent the Gladiators with pride. You will dominate the tag team scene. You will be feared by all. Igneous, teach them well. They are the first to represent this planet. If they fail, I hold you personally responsible. I will give you a name. Your team will be known as The Decapitators of Aethra. Go now, and do well.

Igneous, Moil, and Blitz leave the room. A zealot walks up to Dirge and whispers in his ear.

Dirge: I know I sensed it too.

Vanguard: What is it? What did he say?

Dirge: They will not be the ones to bring pride and honor for the Gladiators of Aethra. They will not bring the success we are looking for in tag team wrestling. Their predictions are of that of the year 2086. Let’s consider it for what it is...a trial run. But you Aerron. They predict big things for you. You will be the very first Gladiator to bring success to our planet. Come now. It is your Calling. After your cleansing, you will train here in the War Dome before we release you to the galaxy.

The zealots begin to chant and be in a trance like state. They simultaneously stepped toward Aerron, their arms outstretched. Aerron screamed out in horror as they brutally performed the rituals necessary to initiate the Aethran Cleansing Process. Aerron's head was ceremoniously dunked several times into what resembled a giant birdbath. The bath was filled to the brim with a thick, plasma like fluid that resembled and tasted like blood. Aerron could feel the heat from the zealots hands like some sort of ancient power ran out of their fingertips through the orifices of his head, and through his body. Aerron roared out guttural screams, and his body grew stronger. He felt his bone density growing thicker, his legs and torso growing longer, and his muscles growing much larger. His screams were so loud that Vanguard handed a zealot a steel plate and a power drill. The power drill buzzed as the zealots drilled the steel plate over Aerron's mouth (COTG: Genesis). As they continued to drill, Vanguard spoke.

Vanguard: Every Gladiator is given a name upon their first Cleansing. A name that symbolizes what they are, what they've accomplished, what they represent. You will need one too. You did it my son. Your new name is SCREW!

Great read! Have you given thought to the fact that if you go back to Torin Caelum's prime he should actually have better stats than even Omega? I mean he's already nearly his equal when he's past prime....

Thank you for the comments. I am having so much fun right now writing. I have put a lot of thought into Caelum and winning. The SGL centers around him. I do in fact understand the tradition behind the character. Torin will get his wins, but passing the torch is his over all objective for his company. He is starting to realize that he needs to compete with R.R.A.T.S. who right now rules the ratings. He is trying his best to build up characters and gimmicks that will not only bring success to his wrestlers, but bring revenue to the company. We are getting closer to 2071. A lot more to come as we move closer to the GWF. So many questions to be answered. Will R.R.A.T.S prevail as the dominant force in wrestling? Can SGL compete? Will the stars of the SGL stick around? So much to do before we jump into the GWF. I am loving taking pieces of the established history and tweaking it for my story. Props to LWPD and the L-FSCE Project for creating new Lost and Found characters to add a different element for story telling. It gives us promoters so much creative freedom to tell stories instead of GWF talent thrown into the mix right away. That's the beauty of the missing years of 2070-2074. You have the power to fill in the gaps. Loving it. I appreciate the feedback. Please stay tuned.
