[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 here tonight as we move closer to our second PPV Sagitta's House of Horrors. More news on that later, but right now lets get to our first match.

Diablo Kill Squad vs. Top Boys
Slipknot defeated Top Boy with a DIABLO DYNAMITE CRUSH at 10:14

[glow=red,2,300]The Diablos Feel Disrespected [/glow]Crockett: Lets bring over the Kill Squad after their impressive win. Well, as we all heard last week, you get a crack at the Midnight Express for the tag team titles at House of Horrors. You came up short once before, will it be different this time?

Slipnot: You know Dave, since the SGL hit the air waves and we hit holovisions around the galaxy, it seemed like we were moving in the right direction. Noose and I were ready to make an impact and run the tag team rankings. But recent events have proved otherwise. Torin Caelum, 4 Horsemen, KO Keller, Benjamin Shroud, Chucho Morales, some guy named Morpheus, and even Too Sexy have all seemed to be mainstays on SGL programming. Others in the back including us seem to be taking a back seat to certain cooperate favorites. Well, my brother and I have news for you. We don't take a back seat to no one anymore. If we got to cause complete havoc for people to respect the ring technicians that we truly are then so be it.

Noose: The buck stops here Crockett. Cornette, you have a lot of distractions going on right now. Everyone wants to go after the Horsemen. Seems to us, if you beat a Horsemen, you move up in the SGL. At House of Horrors, we are coming after your team, those titles, and your souls. Mark our words.

Crockett: Big words from the DKS. Lets go back to the ring.

Chucho Morales vs. Barry O III
Chucho Morales defeated Barry O III by countout at 2:52
Match Notes: During the match, the lights dim and a siren sound blasts through the speakers. Multiple colored lights begin to fill the arena. Then we hear.

Excerpt taken from L-FSCE Create A Character Contest: Earth and christiancolde used to fit storyline.

"One small step for man, one giant leap for India and Russia! HA HA HA!!"

The opening strains of "Russian Space Army" by Kozaks Of Metallishtan blares through the loudspeakers as Russian officers in dark fur coats and insignia-laden ushankas come out from the entrance door. They position themselves at each side of the entrance aisle, forming a corridor for the procession of two to follow! A strange voice echoes through the arena.

Voice: PRESENTING FIRST THE MAN WHO FUNDED THE FOLLOWING PROJECT YOU ARE ABOUT TO SEE. THE RICHEST MAN AND INDIA'S ONLY LIVING LEGEND, PRAVEER SINGH.

Praveer Singh walks from behind the curtain and through the corridor of solders waving an Indian flag. He stops and looks behind him back at the curtain. Both Chucho Morales and Barry O stop wrestling and look at the happenings.

Voice: NEXT, HAILING FROM RUSSIA. THE LATEST GRAPPLER APPROVED BY THE SOVIET GOVERNMENT, THE RUSSIAN BLACK PROJECT. I GIVE YOU OZYMOV!!!

The strange little man is wearing some form of Constructivist space suit, something right out of Aelita, Queen of Mars! Ozymov moves forward, acknowledging no one, concentrating only towards his path ahead of him. He stops right next to Praveer Singh. They both begin to point at Chucho Morales who is in the ring fuming about this interruption.

Voice: FINALLY, THE MAN WHO WILL LEAD THE UNITED NATIONS TO VICTORY IN THE SGL. I PRESENT TO YOU ALL THE MANAGER. I GO BY THE NAME, THE INCREDIBLE DOCTOR THEREMIN!!!

Doctor Theremin comes from the curtain. He looks like a scientist in a white coat. He has wild hair that sticks straight up from his head. he has black goggles on and wearing long black gloves. He beams with pride as the three men make their way to the ring. Barry O bails and jumps over the guard rail. Chucho Morales is urging the three men to bring it on. Ozymov climbs the ringsteps and flips over the top rope for a dynamic entrance to the ring! He climbs to the top turnbuckle, arms crossed over his chest, surveying all who have assembled for this contest before backflipping to his feet. Doctor Theremin enters the ring and pats his man on the shoulder. Praveer Singh steps into the ring with his flag still waving. There is a brief stare down with Chucho still knuckling up. Then, the mad scientist shouts and Ozymov rushes at Morales. The two begin to eschange blows. Then, Praveer nails Morales in the back with the flag stick. The two men begin to viciously attack Morales busting him open. Morales begins to stay still and looks unconscious. As he lays on the mat, Praveer holds Chucho's ankles and lays him out. Ozymov climbs to the top rope and springs off the rope and onto Morales nailing him with a 360 superstar body smash. Doctor Theremin grabs his man who looks like he's in pain after the maneuver. Security rushes the aisle and into the ring. The three men scatter and work the way to the back as the crowd screams at them. Security attends to Morales as we go to commercial.

Too Sexy vs. Grappler and Brooks
Cobra Rex Sexy defeated Rusty Brooks III with a SNAKE EYES at 13:05

[glow=red,2,300]Too Sexy and Tribal Nation[/glow]
Crockett: Tag team action is heating up here in the SGL. The United Nations just proved to the galaxy that they are one. And with their new manager, who knows what will happen next. The DKS were out here earlier and have declared war on tag team wrestling. The Midnight Express are the champions right now with a huge target on their back. We also have a new up and coming team called the Tribal Nation, and of course this team, Too Sexy.

Cobra: What are you thinking taking up our ssspot to talk for a half hour about a bunch of teamsss that don't ssstand a chance against Adrian and I?

Crockett: I guess I just...

Adrian: It doesn't matter what you think Crockett (laughing).

Cobra: You mentioned Tribal Nation which isss a team we want to talk to right now. Lassst ssshow it all went to a head. And now it will all come to an end at House of Horrorsss. The winnersss will move up the ladder to get a potential ssshot at the world championsss. You thought the Diablosss were upssset. Well, ssso are we. We desserve another ssshot at the titlesss. Tribal Nation will learn a hard lessson in hard knocksss. You both are a disssgrace to your people and your heritage.

Just then Tribal Nation enters the scene.

Omega: We have had just about enough of you two. Lets make this interesting. How about we make this match a Leather Strap Match. You bring yourselves and we’ll bring the straps. Enough for all. What do you say?

Adrian: Not a problem. Just make sure our straps are pink.

Morpheus vs. Utter Nebula
Morpheus defeated Utter Nebula with a TRIP TO HADES at 5:08

[glow=red,2,300]Morpheus Stands Alone[/glow]
Morpheus makes his way to the announce table.

Crockett: Morpheus, you have done some things the last month that leave some people to question what your objective is here in the SGL. Your mentor, Toro Moldavo, seems to be fed up with your recluse behavior as of late. What do you got to say?

Morpheus: What do I have to say? Well, it depends on who you want me to address. Listen to these fans Crockett. They are falling in love with the man known as Morpheus. They love the Trip To Hades. They love what I can bring to the table. I am here to show the world my true talent. I am here to make a name for myself. You know, you talk about concerns of recluse behavior. Really? How about we set the record straight once and for all. Since I arrived in the SGL, I have been told what to do, what to say, how to act, what to wear, and how to wrestle. I have been dressed up in funky costumes, given water downed gimmicks, matched up with a has been and never will be who is getting credit for my success, and told to slow down and wrestle with honor. THAT IS NOT ME! THAT IS NOT MORPHEUS! To address your question Crockett. Two things- one, I am the man who created me. The Trip To Hades is my move. My wrestling skills come from me not Toro Moldavo. I was paired up with him because Torin Caelum thought I needed a recognizable name and face to gain popularity with the fans. Well, I don't. These fans love me. I don't need Toro Moldavo to make my name. Two- Torin Caelum has to loosen the reigns a bit and allow me to have creative control on where I want to go in my career. So, here is the deal. I want to prove to the galaxy that I can stand alone. Here is my challenge. Toro Moldavo against Morpheus at the House of Horrors PPV. I will defeat him, and then defeat Caelum and the rest of the participants in the cage. Then, I will be number 1 contender for the world title and role over the SGL and everything in it. Does that answer your question?

Harley Marlboro vs. Rusty Brooks III
Harley Marlboro defeated Rusty Brooks III with a MARLBORO RUSH at 11:25

[glow=red,2,300]Cornette Is Not Scared [/glow]
Cornette and Marlboro make there way to the announce table looking around as if they were feeling someone might attack.

Crockett: What seems to be the problem Cornette? Do you think someone will surprise you from behind?

Cornette: Shut up you blubbering idiot. You think I am scared of the tub of goo Benjamin Shroud and his over sized stuffed animal man in black, you got another thing coming. The 4 Horsemen are not scared of anything. We rule the galaxy, we call the shots and we earn the shots. Shroud, you get a little holovision time, and a sentimental vignette, talking about, "Oh my daddy" and ""The Movement and Band of Brothers" Give me a freakin break. Hold all the segments you want cause it won't mean a thing. Antiseptic has your number boy and you will get yours at House of Horrors. Now, onto the Diablo Kill Squad.

Tough words from a band of idiots who disguise themselves with masks. You had your chance and you failed already. Now, its put up or shut up. The Midnight Express will prove to you once and for all that they are the premier tag team in the SGL and will remain the champs. The hardware stays with us fellas. Now, onto KO Keller.

You get a title shot and a win and now you are the toughest S.O.B. in the SGL. Well, the fact of the matter is this. You are looking at the true distinguished S.O.B. in wrestling and the galaxy today. The man who will bring the world title home to the Horsemen and fill the void that this faction has been missing for some time and that is all the gold. Handsome Harley Marlboro will bring to you something you have never seen before. In all of the crappy underground wrestlers you have faced as well as a washed up has been like Torin Caelum. You will meet a man who is a true technician and wrestling machine. A living legend in our sport. You are looking at the face that will rule the SGL. Your time as champ will be short lived my friend.

Crockett: That's all the time we have. We'll see you next week.

[LWPD]

Cool write up building the arrival of Ozymov. With the luck of the dice, his finisher can be a real killer. His manager (Doctor Theremin) appeared in the original Ozymov artwork, but I had Werner 86 him in the final cut. One day you may meet the good Doctor's other Frankenstein experiment...the diabolical Ocsid Octopus!

It's really interesting to see contrasts in the pace of progression between Morpheus and Omega. From day one, the man from Aldebaran 'connected' with the crowd. He knew how to effectively sell himself to the audience as a personality worth investing in. A green Omega has athleticism on his side, but is struggling to find a marketable identity. At this stage, it makes sense to put someone like him in a tag role. It reminds me a bit of Ricky Steamboat & Jay Youngblood early in their Mid Atlantic run. Steamer (like Omega) was a natural soft spoken face. His star power was slowly and safely amplified by being part of a 'young, good looking, acrobatic' likable underdog team (which got over his in ring strengths and physical charisma...while covering his inability to promo beyond light talk and a smile). I wonder if Spirit Dancer will live up to Jay's role...or wind up being too weak of a link in the chain?

Harley Marlboro vs K.O. Keller should be a barn burner. Classic Cornette promo lays the foundation well!

[gwfman17]

I am honored on the fact that you are still reading my fed LWPD. I am truly amazed and starting to look forward to your responses. As always, you are right on the money in your responses. I did notice that Doctor Theremin was cut since I recieve the promoter online. However, I saw Werner's artwork on the message board for CAC Earth and loved the idea of where that angle could go. I see Praveer much like The Iron Shiek so you need a great manager to carry a promo. I will try and do that with Doctor Theremin. Not sure if you read my take on introducing early versions of the Gladiators and Screw. Was wondering if you like the angle I have with Igneous and the idea of him being a bounty hunter for Aethra. Anyways, thanks for the comments. My fear right now is I am heading into 2071...The Early Classics years are approaching and I do not have the Early Classics 70's and 80's sets. Really hoping it will come out soon on pdf or resale, or even online. Otherwise, I may be in a stand still for awhile.

[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 here tonight as we move closer to our second PPV Sagitta's House of Horrors. The PPV has taken shape as we have one more show in store for you before the big night. Sit back and enjoy as we get right to the action.

Benjamin Shroud vs. Utter Nebula
Benjamin Shroud defeated Utter Nebula with a Benjamin Shroud hits a perfect flying cross-body to the outside! at 8:57
Match Notes: After the match, the 4 Horsemen storm the ring and begin to destroy Benjamin Shroud. There is no sign of the man in black. The Midnight Express have Shroud on his knees and hold him while Antiseptic pounds away on the top of Shroud's head. Security comes down, but Harley Marlboro kicks them as they try to enter. Cornette is swinging his racket at the other security guys who try and enter. Just then. the lights go out in the arena. The crowd is screaming and we cannot see anything. After about a minute, the lights turn back on. Laid out in the ring and not moving, we see all of the 4 Horsemen and Cornette on their backs. Benjamin Shroud is gone and security at ring side look confused as the camera fades to black.

[glow=red,2,300]Vignette: Mirror Mirror on the Wall [/glow]
The camera is in a dark room and in the distance we see only the balls of light that surround a mirror, and the back of a man standing in front of the mirror. The camera slowly pans toward the man as he talks.

Man: Mirror Mirror on the wall, who is the fairest of them all?

The man begins to laugh

Man: I am at a crossroads in my life.

The man begins to throw photographs in the air chucking them over his right shoulder behind him. The camera gets closer, but we still cannot see his face.

Man: Photographs make this somewhat more difficult. They are a partial record of who I was and how I imagined myself. They remind me that I have a past and that I am the sum of my past experiences. They reassert that unassailable fact.

He throws a photo album across the room to his right and laughs again. The camera begins to close in on the mans back.

Man: And now I look in the mirror and who do I see? A stranger staring back at me.

The camera now pans over the mans left shoulder and closes in on the mirror. We see the reflection of a very handsome man who is looking at himself rubbing his face.

Man: Mirror Mirror on the wall,
Tell me you don't lie.
Mirror Mirror on the wall,
No, we don't see eye to eye.

The mirror begins to shake

Man: Mirror Mirror on the wall,
Who's the fairest of them all?

The mirror begins to shake even more

Man: (He takes a deep breath and smiles) Hubris, you say? Ah, that's better.

His facial expression turns evil and he screams

Hubris: MIRROR MIRROR, YOU FRIGGIN FIBBER!!!

The glass shatters and some of the lights break. Faintly, we see the reflection of the mans face through the broken glass and his face now looks cut up and scarred.

Hubris: WHY SO SERIOUS!

Then the camera cuts out to black

Diablo Kill Squad vs. O No
Slipknot defeated Barry O III with a DIABLO DYNAMITE CRUSH at 7:37
Match Notes: After the Diablo Kill Squad win their match, they begin to leave the ring, but then the lights in the arena go off. 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 Igneous rise through a ring of fire onto the elevated stage floor. He is carrying a chalice of blood. When he reaches the top, Igneous makes his way to the ring. Igneous walks up the stairs to the ring, but stops and turns facing the crowd. Igneous takes a drink from the chalice and then spits it towards the crowd. The Diablo Kill Squad, who stayed in the ring when the lights went out, stare Igneous down as he stepped through the ropes. Igneous is handed a mic from the ring attendant.

[glow=red,2,300]Igneous Is Back but He's Not Alone [/glow]
Igneous: As many of you know by now, I am a being on a mission. A mission that only few are called upon to complete. What you saw last time when I was in this very ring was the first steps toward the eventual takeover. A cleansing has been administered and all shall be revealed.

The Diablo Kill Squad go to leave the ring but stop and look back at Igneous.

Igneous: Not so fast gentlemen. You may want to hear what I have to say. You see, this concerns you too. I have been hired by a higher power to bring chaos and destruction to the SGL. To unleash a string of warriors and pure fighting machines to the SGL. To unleash a poison so lethal that no one can withstand its toxins. DKS, you talk about ruling the galaxy and ruling tag team wrestling. Well, that's pretty funny. You see, It is only Igneous who can bring a tag team so deadly that its very destiny is to rule the galaxy and take over tag team wrestling. Therefore, I challenge you two to put up your number 1 contender spot and take on my new team.

Slipnot grabs the mic away from Igneous.

Slipnot: First things first you freak. We don't back down from no one or no challenge. Second, anything that is associated with a walking second rate side show circus like yourself has got to be an easy win. So, bring it on. Consider the number one contendership on the line, and the number one mistake you have made tonight. Get the ref, ring the bell, and bring your team.

Igneous laughs uncontrollably as a ref enters the ring. The lights in the arena go off again. 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 2 huge monsters rise through a ring of fire onto the elevated stage floor. They look like two cage animals ready to pounce on their prey. When the reach the top of the stage Igneous introduces them.

Igenous: Ladies and germs. Meet Moil and Blitz, The Decapitators of Aethra.

The DKS looks shocked and a bit intimidated by what they see. Then, The Decapitators run to the ring and slide under the ropes. The ref calls for the bell.

[glow=red,2,300]Number 1 Contender Match for Tag Team Titles [/glow]
Diablo Kill Squad vs. The Decapitators
Moil defeated Slipknot with a RUNNING DECAPITATOR at 3:00
Match Notes: Crockett: Never has the DKS been mangled the way they were for the past three minutes. The Decapitators made quick work out of them and will now meet the Midnight Express at House of Horrors for the tag team titles. How fitting.

[glow=red,2,300]Chucho Has Backup [/glow]
Chucho's music hits and the multi colored lights stream throughout the arena. The curtain opens and Chucho begins to walk to the ring with two gorgeous women on either arm leading him to the ring. He waves to the crowd with a huge smile. He has a big Band-aid on his forehead from the beating he took from the United Nations. They reach the ring and the two women hold open the ropes. Pyro blasts as he walks in the ring. He is grinning from ear to ear. He grabs the mic.

Morales: MY NAME IS CHUCHO MORALES!

The crowd explodes in cheers and Chucho looks around almost amazed by the reaction.

Morales: You love me, you really do. I want to thank you all for the support especially after two chicos jumped me and left me for dead. Big mistake chicos. You two want a fight. Well, you got one now. Praveer, this is not about you and me anymore chico. It is about you and that tiny wee man you call a partner. Also, that loco doctor guy with the swimming goggles and peacock hair you call a manager. You chicos started a war. And when Chucho goes to war, he needs a little back up. So, SAY HELLO TO MY LITTLE FRIEND!

Chucho's music hits and the multi colored lights stream throughout the arena. The curtain opens and out steps a mammoth beast looking being. He is enormous and the crowd is in utter amazement of the sight of this creature. He stands by the curtain looking around at the stunned crowd.

Chucho: SAY HELLO TO MY LITTLE FRIEND, BEHEMOTH!!!

Crockett: I have seen this creature up close in the back folks and I can tell you. He is 7'3 and weighs 600 lbs. The 600 lbs. is extra weight due to carapace. He hails from Scorpious. He has huge claw like hands. United Nations better watch out for this behemoth of a man.

The camera pans up and down slowly displaying his incredible size. When the camera reaches his face, the camera fades to black and we go to commercial.

Torin Caelum vs. The Grappler
Torin Caelum defeated The Grappler with a CAELUM\'S GRIP at 2:04

[glow=red,2,300]Torin Caelum Sets the Record Straight or PPV Straight [/glow]
Caelum makes his way over to the announce table.

Crockett: Here he is fans, the great Torin Caelum. A lot has been going on in the SGL lately. Can you set the record straight about the upcoming PPV?

Caelum: Right you are Dave. It seems like I am losing a bit of control of the superstars in my own company. It's like the old saying goes, the inmates are running the asylum. Well, I make the rules boys and I sanction the matches around here. This is my company and I will not have mass chaos any longer. So here is the deal one by one. Lets start with The United Nations. What you did to Chucho Morales was inexcusable. Therefore, at the House of Horrors PPV, it will be The United Nations vs. Chucho Morales and his new partner Behemoth. As for you Igneous. You come here with your demonic forces, you kidnap people, and bring in monsters to wrestle. Well, your higher power does not call the shots here, I do. Your boys are not the #1 contenders. But I will tell you what. We will now have a three way tag team title match at House of Horrors as the Decapitators face The Diablo Kill Squad and The Midnight Express for the SGL Tag Team Titles. Finally, The 4 Horsemen. There is no more 4 on 1 ambushes aloud. You want to fight someone, then make it a fair fight. So lets do this. At House of Horrors, it will be Benjamin Shroud and his Man in Black versus Antiseptic and his partner, Mister Cornette. That's right Cornette. You want to stick you nose in the wrestling ring instead of staying out of it. Then in it you will be. And as for the last Horsemen. We will have Harley Marlboro versus KO Keller for the world title inside the steel cage. This way, there will be no interference from anyone.

Crockett: Wow! Now that is a card in true Halloween style. We also have Tribal Nation versus Too Sexy in a Leather Strap Match, Teacher versus Student Match as Toro Moldavo takes on Morpheus and our huge House of Horrors #1 Contender cage match for the World Title. So much action. We'll see you all at the PPV.

[LWPD]

Vintage Horsemen style beat down on Shroud. One can only wonder where he went (would SGL put a trap door beneath the ring?).

The Hubris promo sounds intriguing. You've armed him with some smooth T-Shirt ready catch phrases!

I really like the way you've fleshed out your tag division. Everyone on the roster seems to have some form of presence. Moil and Blitz are a very unique take on an early Gladiator experiment. The Chucho Morales partnership with Behemoth sounds intriguing. Tribal Nation, Too Sexy, United Nations, DKS and the Midnight Express are all well grounded in the mix. Tag team wrestling is hot and heavy in SGL!

House of Horrors should be a block buster event. Very well built. When reading Torin's close out promo...I hear it in the voice of old man Verne himself!

10.31.2070 from Sagitta Forum[/glow][/shadow]

[glow=red,2,300]House of Horrors Promo[/glow]

We see an aerial view of a neighborhood street full of happy trick or treaters walking up and down going house to house. A dark voice begins to speak and an eerie ballad begins to play.

Dark Voice: The howling starts on your street, as the sun gives way to the darkness.

A loud howling is heard and a quick cut scene to 3 children dressed in costumes who look back. Their faces are filled with fear. Then, a quick cut scene to a full moon lighting up the dark sky.

Dark Voice: The moon is full and the sun is long gone, light and goodness have moved on.

A women's scream is heard as we see a quick cut scene of a scary house with an open door that suddenly slams shut. Then, a quick cut scene to Igneous and The Decapitators standing in front of the camera with fire blazing behind them. Igneous is holding his chalice as blood spills from his mouth.

Dark Voice: Bared teeth and bones with jaws that bite. Blood drips and creeps crawl on Halloween night. Slinking down your street are horrible things that you do not want to meet.

A quick cut scene of the 4 Horsemen walking up to the camera from a dark ally way.

Dark Voice: The howling, it's coming...you are locked inside. As terror awaits to turn the tide.

A quick cut scene of the camera panning fast as if it were flying from the dark streets to the door of the Sagitta Forum panning right up to the House of Horrors cage.

Dark Voice: The Halloween howling...hear it's scary
Halloween greeting!

A quick cut scene to the center of the ring inside the cage, we see the back of a beast like figure on its knees quivering.

Dark Voice: House of Horrors is where the creatures come out to play.

The camera pans slowly to the back of the head of the creature.

Dark Voice: Will you survive to live another day?

The camera stops and the creature turns around abruptly and opens its mouth exposing sharp teeth and then snaps fiercely at the camera as the camera blacks out.

We see the SGL Logo locked inside the House of Horrors cage as we are ready to begin.

[glow=red,2,300]Opening [/glow]
Heavy pyro explodes throughout the Sagitta Forum and the camera pans around the hyped crowd. We see the huge House of Horrors cage hovering over the ring. Dave Crockett IV is standing outside the ring.

Crockett: Welcome everyone to the SGL's Halloween PPV, Sagitta's House of Horrors. I am your host Dave Crockett IV and I am primed and ready as rivalries come to a head tonight. Differences will be settled and matches will be won. Both titles will be on the line tonight. Plus some surprises on hand that will leave you mystified. So, sit back and enjoy tonight’s card. Let’s get to it with our first match.

[glow=red,2,300]Toro Moldavo/Morpheus Entrance [/glow]Toro Moldavo's music hits and the crowd gives him a mix of cheers and jeers. He slaps some hands as he makes his way to the ring. As he enters the ring, the lights suddenly go black. We see lightening lighting fill the arena. The entrance ramp begins to fill with heavy fog and faint purple lighting. We hear a heavy organ play a very dark song. Then we hear the sound of children through the speakers as the jumbo tron shows 3 girls in white dresses, their skin very pale, looking right into the camera. They begin to sing.

Girls: 1...2....He is coming for you.

The tron flashes with fire, then back to the girls singing.

Girls: 3...4....Better lock your door.

The tron flashes with fire, then back to the girls singing.

Girls: 5...6....Grab your crucifix.

The tron flashes with fire, then back to the girls singing.

Girls: 7...8....Better stay up late.

The tron flashes with fire, then back to the girls singing.

Girls: 9...10...Never sleep again.

The tron blacks out. We look back to the entrance way live and we see a bright light shining through the curtain. Then we see the silhouette of a dark figure come through the curtain. He is wearing what looks to be a long black leather coat and a black hat. His head is down. He slowly raises his arms to the air, and then he begins to slowly hover to the ring. The crowd's cheers are deafening as everyone is in utter amazement that this man is hovering to the ring. The man slowly rises over the ropes and lands in the center of the ring. The arena is filled with fog and lightening flashes. The music stops and the man stands there not moving with his head down. The crowd is going crazy and cheering and hollering. Toro Moldavo has made his way out of the ring and looks on outside the ring. Finally, a single white light shines on the man. He slowly moves his arms up to his head and slowly removes his hat. We see now that the man is wearing some sort of mask. The crowd continues to cheer loudly. Suddenly, the man looks up and now we see that he is wearing a 20th century hockey mask. He slowly moves his arms up to his face and then slowly begins to remove the mask. We now see that the man is MORPHEUS! He is grinning from ear to ear and eating up the crowd's cheers. The crowd begins to chant THAT WAS AWESOME! THAT WAS AWESOME! The lights in the arena turn back on and Morpheus removes his black leather coat. Dave Crockett cannot help himself.

Crockett: I have seen a lot in my career, but nothing like what I just witnessed. Now, that is the way you start off a PPV on Halloween night.

Moldavo enters the ring and the match is on.

[glow=red,2,300]Teacher vs. Student Match [/glow]Morpheus vs. Toro Moldavo
Morpheus defeated Toro Moldavo with a TRIP TO HADES at 8:23Match Notes: After the match, the crowd is cheering Morpheus. He stands over the fallen Toro Moldavo. His face is filled with anger as he breathes heavily. He then looks up at the camera and makes the cut throat sign. He mouths to the camera and we can make out what he says.

Morpheus: I am the man who rules the galaxy. I am my own man now!

He walks out of the ring and jumps the guard rail. The members of the crowd begin to tear at him, everyone trying to touch this rising superstar. Crockett can't help but praise him.

Crockett: Folks, as much respect I have for what the great Toro Moldavo has meant to this company, I cannot help, but to be in pure amazement over what Morpheus has accomplished thus far and where he soon will go. He is an up and coming star here in the SGL, and he has hushed many critics with this victory tonight. The crowd absolutely goes bonkers for this man.

[glow=red,2,300]Liberty Movement/Horsemen Entrance [/glow]
We are in the locker room and Mister Cornette is pacing back and forth pleading to the 4 Horsemen.

Cornette: What do you mean calm down Harley? I am about to walk into the gates of hell out there. I am not a wrestler. I am a manager. That is what I do best...manage.

Antiseptic: We have this Cornette. There is no way Shroud and this thing will get the upper hand on the Horsemen. Just think of how silly they will look after you and I defeat them. Shroud won't ever be able to show his face here again. And that masked thing will be glad he never exposed who he really is to save himself the embarrassment.

Sweet Stan: He's right ya know. This may be Halloween night, but it is the night the Horsemen ride to victory.

Marlboro: Now go out there Cornette and show these two idiots that we fear no one, and live up to what Horsemen truly are...winners.

Cornette: Well I'll be. Boys I love the snot out of you. You too Bobby even though you don't ever say a damn word. Lets do it. Lace my boots up and lets ride.

We cut back to the ring and the Horsemen music hits and out walks Antiseptic with who we think is Mister Cornette. The crowd laughs at Cornette as he makes his way to the ring. He is wearing a mask that looks very similar to that of Benjamin Shroud. He is waving his racket around. They make there way in the ring and await their opponents.

Then, we hear pumping through the speakers.

THE LIBERTY MOVEMENT!

A base drum line begins to play, and out walks Benjamin Shroud. The crowd surprisingly cheering him as there is never any love for the Horsemen. His afro is massive and he is wearing different attire than he used to. He is wearing black tights with African colors (yellow, green and red) running around the legs. He is wearing a long black leather coat. His fists are taped up in black. He makes his way to the ring staring at the Horsemen with eyes of determination. He walks up the stairs, but stops. He looks at the Horsemen, then looks to the curtain at the entrance way. He slowly raises his right arm and makes a fist. Just then, from beyond the curtain, out walks about 20 men dressed in all body black tights and black masks. They walk out one by one in a single line down the aisle. 10 of the men walk to the left side of the ring while the other 10 walk to the right side. They all surround the ring. Antiseptic and Cornette cannot stop their heads from looking around. The men in black surround the ring. Shroud slowly steps through the ropes and begins to smirk while looking at the two Horsemen. He then slowly raises his right arm and makes a fist again. Then, one of the men in black walks into the ring and is ready for action. Cornette takes off his mask and throws it at Shroud. The match is on.

Liberty Movement vs. The Horsemen
Antiseptic defeated Benjamin Shroud with a Dargon Diver at 15:52Match Notes: Closing moments of the match. Antiseptic is tagged in and hits the ropes. He attempts a back body drop on Shroud but the attempt is reversed by a kick to the head! Benjamin Shroud picks him up and throws Antiseptic into the turnbuckle. Antiseptic bounces off and then both men deliver a clothesline! They both lay on the mat as the crowd cheers for Shroud to get up. Benjamin Shroud gets up first and then delivers the LIBERATOR. One ... two ... kickout! Benjamin Shroud nails the Oops Upside Ya Head. What a devastating move! Benjamin Shroud tags in the Man in Black. Man in Black hits the Assassin Drop.

Man in Black hits a running shoulder block that carries Cornette through the ropes and outside the ring. He follows Cornette to the outside and begins to punch away at him. Benjamin Shroud goes back for Antiseptic to try and do a choke slam, but can't hit the move as Antiseptic kicks him in the mid section and delivers a Dargon Diver and gets the pin. Antiseptic slides out of the ring and nails Man in Black from behind. He picks up Cornette and the two make their way to the back.

[glow=red,2,300]Tribal Nation/Too Sexy Entrance [/glow]
Too Sexy's music hits as we hear a women's voice say, "Too Sexy...Ooh La La" then an up tempo club music plays. We see stage hands rolling out the red carpet that extends to the ring. From beyond the curtain, out steps Too Sexy who are wearing fur coats to the ring. Adrian has a mic and begins to speak.
Adrian: We are the team that make the ladies scream and are taking over the scene. Cause, DAMN! We are Too Sexy. And right now, we would like to introduce our new manager. Since we are the flash that makes the cash, we need the lady to help bring home the gravy. So, I give to you the newest manager of Too Sexy.... From the Coma Berenices system...I give you The Berenician Beauty, DESRYE!!!

Out of the curtain steps a stunningly beautiful blond woman who looks like she walked right out of a Vouge Magazine. She is wearing an all black shiny leather skin tight attire. The paparazzi runs up to the three and snap pictures like crazy. Desrye gets in between her men and grabs their arms. They walked to the ring on a red carpet, while members of the paparazzi take photos of them. As they reach the ring the two wrestlers jump into the ring while Desrye stops outside. As the wrestlers stand in the middle of the ring watching her, she jumps up and does a split on the ring apron from the floor. She then bends forward and crawls under the bottom rope. She crawls up to her men and then stands up and helps them take off their fur coats. Desrye suggestively rubs their abs while removing the coats. What an entrance!

The red carpet is rolled back up and then we hear The Lumbee tribal war cry and then the Native American music of the Tribal Nation hit. The crowd begins to cheer as Omega and Spirit Dancer step from beyond the curtain. They stand with arms crossed at the top of the ramp looking around at the crowd. Omega has a mic in hand.

Omega: Seems to me that this fight may turn into a 3 on 2 match with the addition of this beautiful specimen you have in the ring with you.

Too Sexy is nodding their heads yes as Desrye does a sexy wave motion with her body.

Omega: Oh yeah, she is stunning. Well, we were prepared for something like this as we got a text message from a friend of ours who saw the three of you show up together in the back. So, we called a friend of ours to make sure that your little lady is kept in check tonight and does not interfere. With that said, the Tribal Nation would like to introduce one of our own. I bring to you the Equuleus Warrior Princess, SHIAWATHA!!

A beautiful tan skinned Native American woman steps from beyond the curtain holding 4 leather straps in her hand (two brown and 2 pink). She starts to walk her men to the ring. Omega and Spirit Dancer jump into the ring and begin to perform an Indian war dance. Too Sexy and Desrye leap out of the ring as the men continue their dance. They both take off their head dresses and hand them to Shiawatha. Shiawatha hands them the leather straps. Omega throws the two pink straps over the rope at Too Sexy. The bell rings and this one is under way.

[glow=red,2,300]Leather Strap Match [/glow]Tribal Nation vs. Too Sexy
Exotic Adrian Street defeated Spirit Dancer with a CRUCIFIX at 10:29Match Notes: Closing moments of the match. Cobra Rex Sexy hits a spinning neck breaker on Spirit Dancer. Then begins to whip him several times while he is down. Cobra Rex Sexy tags in Exotic Adrian Street who throws Spirit Dancer out of the ring. Desrye begins to stomp on him while he is down. Shiawatha runs around to stop her, but Desrye runs to the other side. Shiawatha helps Dancer up and rolls him in the ring. Exotic Adrian Street applies the cobra clutch. Omega runs in and begins to strap Adrian helping to break the hold. Cobra Rex Sexy comes in and nails Omega forcing his momentum outside the ring. He follows after him whipping him with the leather strap. Back in the ring, Exotic Adrian Street applies the CRUCIFIX. One ... two ... three! Too Sexy are your winners. Omega slides back into the ring and hovers over his partner as Too Sexy lash Omega's back. Shiawatha comes in and tries to stop the two men. Desyre walks up behind Shiawatha and grabs around her face and pulls her downward with her as she performs a double knee backbreaker. She angles her knees and continues to pull back after impact. Security rush the ring and chase Too Sexy and Desrye out of the ring. The 3 laugh as they make their way to the back. Security tends to Tribal Nation and Shiawatha. Omega has bleeding welts on his back and is screaming.

[glow=red,2,300]United Nations/ Bolivian Behemoths Entrance [/glow]
The lights in the arena dim and a siren sound blasts through the speakers. Multiple colored lights begin to fill the arena. Then we hear.

"One small step for man, one giant leap for India and Russia! HA HA HA!!"

The opening strains of "Russian Space Army" by Kozaks Of Metallishtan blares through the loudspeakers as Russian officers in dark fur coats and insignia-laden ushankas come out from the entrance door. They position themselves at each side of the entrance aisle, forming a corridor for the procession of two to follow!

Praveer Singh walks from behind the curtain and begins waving an Indian flag. Ozymov moves forward, acknowledging no one, concentrating only towards his path ahead of him. Doctor Theremin comes from the curtain. He is beaming with pride for his two men as the three walk to the ring through the corridor of solders in unison. Ozymov climbs the ringsteps and flips over the top rope for a dynamic entrance to the ring! He climbs to the top turnbuckle, arms crossed over his chest, surveying all who have assembled for this contest before backflipping to his feet. Doctor Theremin enters the ring and pats his man on the shoulder. Praveer Singh steps into the ring with his flag still waving.

Then, Chucho's music hits and the multi colored lights stream throughout the arena. The curtain opens and The massive Behemoth is carrying Chucho who is sitting on a king's chair. Chucho waves to the crowd as Behemoth carries him to the ring. They stop at the ring and Chucho gets up from the chair and makes his way into the ring. Behemoth places the chair down and steps over the top rope. Pyro blasts as the two men walk in the ring. Chucho is grinning from ear to ear. The United Nations look in utter amazement at the size of Behemoth. Chucho looks over at the United Nations and says, "No problema." The bell sounds.

United Nations vs. Bolivian Behemoths
Behemoth defeated Ozymov with a DEADLY FORCE at 2:51Match Notes: This match was very quick as the massive Behemoth seemed too large and strong for the undersized United Nations. Ozymov tried a running knee lift on Chucho Morales, but Morales moved out of the way leaving Ozymov landing straight on the back of his head. Chucho Morales looks at the crowd and points to Behemoth. The crowd goes crazy. The mad scientist is at ringside telling the crowd to settle down. Chucho makes the hot tag! Behemoth picks Ozymov up and throws him to the ropes. However, Ozymov is too fast for the move and takes over. Ozymov tries to dropkick the massive beast, but bounces off of him. Behemoth takes over and picks the little man up and delivers a Galaxy's Strongest Slam. Then, he gets down on one knee and applies a Scorpion Claw. Praveer Singh tries to make the pin save, but is stopped by Chucho. Chucho and Praveer go at it as the ref calls for the bell. Ozymov is busted wide open. Dr, Theremin enters the ring and has a long needle filled with lime green liquid. He punctures the needle into the back of Behemoth. Behemoth roars in pain. Chucho turns around and chases the doctor out of the ring. Praveer grabs Ozymov and the three run off. Chucho tries to help tame the beast, but Behemoth is in a lot of pain. His massive roars make everyone in attendance hold their ears. The arena is shaking. Behemoth gets up slowly and waves his arm at Chucho knocking him out of the ring. Then, as Behemoth gets to his feet, lime green smoke begins to resonate through his skin. He looks around at his body and roars as if he is on fire. He finally jumps over the top rope and runs up the ramp roaring in pain. Chucho gets up and tries to chase after him.

[glow=red,2,300]Midnight Express/DKS/Decapitators [/glow]
DKS make their way out to the ring first with bull ropes in hand ready for action. They slide into the ring and adjust their attire as they await their opponents. Then, the lights in the arena go off.


Credit StarsMyDestination

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 Igneous and the Decapitators rise through a ring of fire onto the elevated stage floor. Igneous is carrying his chalice of blood. When they reach the top, Igneous makes his way to the ring. He walks up the stairs to the ring, but stops and turns facing the crowd. Igneous takes a drink from the chalice and then spits it towards the crowd. Just then, The Decapitators run to the ring and slide under the bottom ropes. They begin to go at it with the DKS and all four men are battling. The Midnight Express hasn’t hit the ring yet. But it is not stopping these four men from beating each other up.

Moil defeated Slipknot with an OPERATION POWERBOMB at 1:09Match Notes: In quick fashion, The Decapitators do just what their name says. They decapitated the DKS. As they beat the living hell out of the DKS, the Midnight Express sneaks down the aisle and slide into the ring while The Decapitators are distracted. Igneous calls their attention to the Express. The Decapitators turn around and the match is on.

for the Sagitta Grasps League Tag Team Championship
Bobby Eaton defeated Blitz with a Divorce Court at 14:20Match Notes: What a battle. As the DKS are left outside the ring motionless, the Express proved why they are the best tag team in the galaxy. Not for once did they back down from the massive monsters. In the end, Beautiful Bobby nailed the Divorce Court and gets the win. The Express slide out of the ring and Cornette grabs the titles. The three run off in celebration. Igneous is beside himself. He cannot believe his eyes. He grabs a mic.

Igneous: You two have brought shame to the Gladiators of Aethra. Your mission was simple...Seek and Destroy. And you failed. Back to Aethra we go where you will face Dirge to explain your downfall.

[glow=red,2,300]KO Keller/Harley Marlboro Entrance[/glow]
The sound of horses galloping blasted through the speakers into the ceremonial accompaniment of the tenth movement known as The Great Gates of Kiev bellow through the speakers. Out from the curtain walks Mister Cornette with a smile from ear to ear. His Horsemen are ruling the night and he hopes to bring home the title as well, but he knows he will be suspended from the cage in his own little mini cage while the match is going on. Handsome Harley Marlboro emerges from the curtain wearing a long sleeve coat and very all business like.


Credit psychosem17

Crockett: Here he comes folks, the challenger and looks all business. Cogent, concise and deadly accurate, Harley Marlboro is the definitive thinking man's wrestler. A Volansian who prides himself on always being several steps and dimensions ahead, this Analytical Crippler sports one of the most strategically unique finisher mechanics in SGL history. Can KO Keller survive the Marlboro Rush?

Cornette holds the ropes open as Harley Marlboro steps through.

Then, KO Keller's music hits. Out from the curtain comes the SGL Champion with the title belt around his waste. He stands at the top of the ramp as the crowd goes crazy. He quickly raises his arms in the air, and shots of pryo spring from behind him. He walks to the ring and too looks all business.

Crockett: This is truly one gifted physical athlete. Keller epitomizes strength and endurance. Will strength and athleticism over power the excellence of execution. We will see tonight.

Keller comes to the ring. As the two men stare at each other, the ref places Cornette inside the mini cage and the cage is lifted above the center of the ring. Cornette looks scared to death as he suspends from the air. He looks like he is crying and sits down with his eyes close. Then the House of Horrors steel structure begins to descend from the ceiling of the arena.

Crockett: The House of Horrors features a large roofed steel cage structure or cell which encloses the ring and ringside area. Each side is 20 feet and the whole structure weighs 5 tons. The cage is down and we are ready for this epic battle between two of the very best that the SGL has to offer.

[glow=red,2,300]SGL World Heavyweight Title Match[/glow]K.O. Keller vs. Harley Marlboro
for the Sagitta Grasps League Championship
Harley Marlboro defeated K.O. Keller with a MARLBORO RUSH at 12:12Match Notes: Closing moments of the match. Both men used the cage to their advantage trying to wear down their opponent. Both men were busted open pretty badly. In the closing moments, Keller had the advantage with a headlock. Marlboro fought back by targeting Keller's head and neck. Harley, using a piledriver maneuver, dropped Keller head first into the canvas and then sent his head into the cage. Keller would eventually fight back after sending Marlboro into the corner of the ring. Keller performed a piledriver and sent Marlboro's head into the cage. After slamming Marlboro down with a belly to back suplex, Keller went for the 10 Count. Marlboro broke the hold by rolling into the ropes and fought back with a headbutt from the top turnbuckle. As Marlboro applied a headlock, Keller then sent Marlboro in the ropes and went for the 10 count again. But Marlboro ducked and then nailed the Marlboro Rush and pinned Keller to win the match and the title. Both men were bloodied and battered. Cornette was brought down and let out of the cage. He was going crazy and grabbed the world title from the ref. Harley Marlboro could barely make it back to his feet as he was exhausted. Finally, with Cornette's help, Harley grabbed the belt and celebrated. Keller was motionless on the canvas. Cornette and Marlboro left the cage and were greeted by the rest of the Horsemen who were all celebrating.

Crockett: What a night to be a Horsemen. They simply dominated the evening and now all the gold is in the camp of the 4 Horsemen.

Harley Marlboro won the Sagitta Grasps League Championship

[glow=red,2,300]House of Horrors Match[/glow]Torin Caelum vs. Antiseptic vs. Benjamin Shroud vs. Chucho Morales vs. Igneous vs. Morpheus vs. Praveer Singh vs. Toro Moldavo
Torin Caelum was the first to hit the floor and win at 23:29Match Notes: All eight men immediately began beating the hell out of each other with an array of punches. The whole match was guys climbing the cage only to get their leg grabbed and brought back in. Men were outside the ring doing there best to wear down their opponents by throwing them into the steel structure. It was a bloody mess. In the end, Torin Caelum threw Antiseptic into the steel stairs and then made his way up the cage. On the other side of the cage, Morpheus was trying to make his way up the cage. The crowd was going crazy. When the rest of the guys realized that the other two were almost to the top, all six of them stopped fighting and began to climb on their own. Morpheus was the first to reach the top and swing his way over to the other side with Caelum close behind on the other side. Shroud at one point fell off the cage and onto the floor. He was in pure exhaustion from a long night. Caelum finally made it over and the race was on between Morpheus and Caelum. Morpheus got half way down before getting his boot stuck in the structure. Caelum took advantage and got to the mid cage point. At that point Toro Moldavo climbed over and made his way down. He started to climb by Morpheus who was screaming for him to help him out. Moldavo ignored him and made his way down. Morpheus was screaming bloody murder. But in the end it was too late. Torin Caelum reached the floor and was declared the winner and new #1 Contender for the World Title. Morpheus finally broke free and jumped off the cage. He went right after Toro Moldavo and the two exchange blows all the way to the back. Torin Caelum makes his way back into the cage to celebrate as the structure begins to raise. Caelum gets on the second rope and the crowd cheers his victory. The other wrestlers leave the ring area and walked to the back to allow Caelum his moment. All, but Igneous. Igneous grabs his chalice and jumps up onto the ring. Caelum jumps off the rope and looks at Igneous. Igneous takes a drink and then spits the liquid up in the air. Just then, we see a monster of a man come bursting from under the ring ripping the canvas apart. He is very muscular and has a steel metal plate over his mouth. He grabs Torin's leg and drags him underneath. Both men go down and smoke shoots up from the hole. Igneous jumps off the canvas and walks back up the ramp laughing as the PPV comes to an end.

[LWPD]

Great PPV. The opening montage reminded me a bit of the old early 90's WCW Halloween Havoc theme stuff from Turner. Huge win for Morpheus. Between him and Igneous, I can only imagine the production budget costs at SGL. Funny moment with Cornette wearing a Benjamin Shroud mask. The multiple masked men in the tag match was a cross between the many Stings of the Nitro Era and Agent Smith from The Matrix. Who is the mystery man in the Liberty Movement??? The tag division continues to impress...and even the ladies get some air time. The Analytical Crippler taking the gold was cool to see...few can survive a properly executed Marlboro Rush!

An eclectic mix of styles and influences produced a very memorable show. A great read!

[shadow=red,left,300]Behind the Scenes
11.01.2070 from Sagitta SGL Offices[/shadow]

[glow=red,2,300]Oops, I Didn't Think of That!! [/glow]
Torin Caelum sits in his office staring at his computer with the holovision on in the background talking on the teletransmitter. He is smiling and laughing and in great spirits.

Caleum: I know, I just got the numbers. It is amazing! No, thank you. I am glad you enjoyed the show. I am looking over the email responses right now on my computer. Listen to this one from TWA. It says, "THAT WAS AWESOME! House of Horrors will go down in history as one of the best PPV's of all time. Watch out R.R.A.T.S, SGL is coming!" Check this one out from LWPD. This guy sounds pretty important like he may be a global moderator or something. It reads, "Great PPV. An eclectic mix of styles and influences produced a very memorable show".

Torin's lawyer walks in.

Caelum: Listen, I got to go. You know who just showed up (laughing). Alright, we'll do dinner and celebrate. Take care..

Caelum hangs up and looks at his lawyer.

Caelum: I have been reading emails, talking to fans, and talking on the transmitter all day long. They don't stop. House of Horrors shocked the galaxy. The whole roster put on an unbelievable show. Kudos to the guys. They really brought it. I'll tell you, I feel I have outdone myself on this one. The booking has gotten so much better. The vignette's, the interviews, the matches, the theatrics. AAAHHH! I am in heaven. Our ratings for the PPV skyrocketed and are at an all time high. But, the build up to the PPV, the angles, and the boys deserve all the credit.

The lawyer seems like he wants to aid in the celebration with Caelum, but it seems like something is on his mind.

Caelum: (A look of worry comes over Caelum's face) What is it? What is wrong? We should be celebrating.

Lawyer: Torin, I don't know how to say this.

Caelum: What is it?

Lawyer: You were right about the PPV. It was a huge success. But not for you.

Caelum: Excuse me?

Lawyer: Here me out. This news is going to hurt a little. First off, from a revenue stand point we are actually losing money a great deal.

Caelum: Are you kidding me? The PPV buyrate was huge. We made a killing. What the hell are you talking about?

Lawyer: Slow down. Listen. You've done too much, too soon. We haven't been in business for even a half a year, and we are in serious trouble. Once we pay out the talent roster, the pyro techs, production budget for the elaborate entrances, the videographers who produce the vignettes and jumbo tron videos, the stage hands, the refs, the audio technicians, merchandising costs...Torin, once you pay me for crying out loud. You are left owing money you no longer have. You are behind in payments to the owners of the Sagitta Forum. We cannot afford to go this way any longer. It is not possible. We need to scale down production and slim our expenses. We cannot compete with the R.R.A.T.S when it comes to a production of a weekly show anymore. The money you are wasting to the holovision companies to hold a 2 hour slot is down right irresponsible anymore. You have tried and I commend you on your eagerness to try and compete at a galctic level, but it is no longer feasable. The SGL will not withstand this economical cotrastrophy.

Caelum sits quietly and ponders for a moment on what he just heard. He turns slowly in his chair, then gets up and heads towards his window. He looks out the window and then puts his head down.

Caelum: (uncomfortably giggling) So that's all?

Lawyer: It's not a joke Torin!

The Lawyer stops as he has reached frustration. He takes a deep breath and continues.

Lawyer: Torin, that's not all. There is more.

Caelum turns around and looks at his lawyer.

Lawyer: You have made several decisions that has caused us to lose momentum in this emerging wrestling promotion war we have with R.R.A.T.S.

Caelum: What do you mean?

Lawyer: A lot of the guys in the back think you are overemphasizing the 4 Horsemen and yourself in your storylines. You are failing to make guys like KO Keller, Benjamin Shroud, and Toro Moldavo the focus of this company when you had the chance.

Caelum: What do you mean had the chance? Shroud has a huge angle with the Liberty Movement, KO won the title, and Toro had an unbelivable match with Morpheus.

Lawyer: Okay, but lets look at it. Benjamin Shroud can't get over with the fans if he keeps jobbing. You had a great build up with the Liberty Movement only to have the mystery man in black fail in the aid of Shroud's success. And KO wins the title over you which was huge. His momentum with the title sent fans in a frenzy. But then, he drops the title in his first title match. And Toro, poor Toro is getting lost in the mix. With the superb wrestling talent this man has, you are embarassing him each week. The 4 Horsemen ruled the PPV. All the guys feel your money bought their lives and you are holding strong on your investments. They are like your kids getting anything they want. Finally, you have rising stars in the House of Horrors match, yet you pit yourself the winner. The veterens are fed up with your direction.

Caelum: Well, why am I not hearing this from the 3 of them?

The Lawyer pulls out a yellow envelop and hands it to Caelum.

Caelum: What is this?

Lawyer: Open it.

Caelum opens the envelop and pulls out the contents. He streams through each page one by one.

Caelum: Is this a joke?

Lawyer: Keller accepted an offer from Ratlick to wrestle for the R.R.A.T.S the day after the PPV. He was promised a World Title run if he signed. He promises to make Keller a mainstream media phenomenon and put his name in the books as one of the greatest wrestlers in the galaxy. Just pitting Keller against Jack Hood will tune out some of our fan base who will switch over to see how it all plays out.

Caelum: Okay, not happy, but he is one guy. He doesn't carry this company.

Lawyer: KO wasn't alone in leaving. Some of our other top talent has walked and excepted big offers from Ratlick. It is Ratlick that will be capitalizing off of House of Horrors success, not you Torin.

Caelum: Tell me who else?

Lawyer. You're not going to be happy, but here we go. Our one and only announcer Dave Crockett IV, Benjamin Shroud, and Toro Moldavo are all going to R.R.A.T.S. The Diablo Kill Squad were unhappy with sports entertainment and decided to go back to the independents and wrestle in the ALPHA CENTAURI WRESTLING ALLIANCE. They feel they could help ACWA in a confrontation with Dorado Sundown.

Caelum looks shocked.

Lawyer: Toro is giving up the wrestling school and shutting its doors. He sold the lease since his family paid the lien you had on the building. This is not good.

Caelum goes back and sits at his desk. He puts his head down.

Caelum: What are my options at this point?

Lawyer: Well, I have given this a lot of thought. We have a few options. First we need to scale down our events to a holovised monthly show and increase our tickets prices at the gate. Second, we need to do away with all the theatrics and overpriced stage shows. Third, we need to scale down our payments to our talent roster. We may need to do more House Shows which only feature our talent with no production, and charge more in tickets for the events. We may need to have an investment company who can come in and financially back us and be part owners. And....

Caelum: And? Are you kidding me? This is a disaster. I am about to throw up here. What else?

Lawyer: We facing financial trouble here Torin, but we may be able to pull ourselves out of this. However, if everything I have laid out doesn't work out, then we may need to consider talking with ALPHA CENTAURI WRESTLING ALLIANCE about a possible merger. They too are struggling financially. But that is down the line.

Caelum gets up and begins to pace back and forth.

Caelum: Is that all?

Lawyer: From my end yes. Now it is all on you. Let me know what you want to do. We have 3 holovised events scheduled this month. Let me know if I am contacting the Galaxy Media about a once a month show. They have to decide if to them it is even worth it to move forward.

Caelum stops and looks at the lawyer.

Caelum: Tell them to proceed. I want the SGL to be holovised on the 13th of every month. 13 is an unlucky number that I will make work in my favor. We will prevail. We will not go down without a fight. I will inform the roster of the changes and make them aware of my intentions for this company. Ratlick may have stolen my stars, but I still manage to develop legitimate young talent. Leave me alone at once. I have a lot to figure out.

[LWPD]

Financial realities and the challenges of dealing with disgruntled talent rears its ugly head. Moments after a show that proved to be a critical success, Torin now faces a depleted roster and mountains of red ink. The owner of R.R.A.T.S. is proving to be as formidable as a young VKM during the national expansion period.

Ambitious young talent I can understand, but I never would have imagined that the very voice of SGL, the one and only Dave Crockett IV, would hit the road for greener pastures. From a public relations and brand identification standpoint, his defection may prove to be the most damaging blow of all. I can still hear it in my mind...

[glow=red,2,300]Opening[/glow]
Reminiscent of the old World Class Championship Wrestling intro, the opening sequence of the SGL syndicated broadcasts begins with a NASA photo of Earth, taken during the Apollo 16 mission back in 1972. Then, the camera pans out very fast until space is shown. The screen begins to move in a circular motion reveling thousand of planets and constellations, ending on the constellation of Sagitta. An animated satellite beams down over Sagitta, and as it moves east, the SGL logo would appear and move across to the upper left hand corner of the picture. Two more satellite beams show the 4 Horsemen Mister Cornette, Harley Marlboro, The Midnight Express, and Antiseptic and then fades out to black.

[glow=red,2,300]Stylin and Profylin [/glow]The Lights in the arena slowly dim. The crowd gets loud as we hear the horses galloping and the music of the Horsemen. The crowd jeers loudly as on top of the ramp a yellow light shines on the curtain. We then see Mister Cornette come through the curtain. He is wearing green dress pants and a white suit jacket with a yellow neck tie on a black collared shirt. He has a diamond jewel studded tennis racket and he is smiling from ear to ear. He begins to walk down the ramp laughing at the crowd as they boo. Antiseptic steps through the curtain wearing a dark black suit with a white collared shirt and a long black neck tie. He is also sporting black sunglasses. He stands at the top of the ramp looking around at the crowd. He smirks at the jeering crowd, then makes his way down the ramp.

Handsome Harley Marlboro steps through the curtain. He is wearing his long robe and the world title is wrapped around his waste as he walks to the ring. Cornette holds the ropes open for all of his men as they enter the ring. All four stand in a line as Cornette waves his racket around in the air. He then walks over to the ring attendant to hands him a mic.

Cornette: The problem with you people is that you wouldn't recognize class even if it bit you in the face.

The crowd boos loudly.

Cornette: What you see before you is four men who rule the galaxy. What you see before you are four men who rule wrestling. And, what you see before you are the four men who run this company. Plain and simple. Cause the fact of the matter is this. The four horsemen went to House of Horrors and did exactly what they said they were going to do. Win! Aniseptic and myself ran Benjamin Shroud and his gorilla straight out of the SGL. The Midnight Express ran not one, but two teams out of the SGL and retained the tag team titles. Finally, Handsome Harley Marlboro won the world title and ran KO Keller straight off this planet. Have mercy, we are that damn good.

The crowd boos throughout the segment.

Cornette: You are staring at greatness. The four Horsemen are the symbol of excellence. The highest standard in professional wrestling. The cream of the crop. And we got the titles to prove it. The SGL is where the toughest men in professional wrestling come to compete. And obviously, if you can't hack it, then get the steppin just like all the men we beat at the PPV. Gone forever because they couldn't get the job done.

The crowd chants HORSEMEN SUCK! HORSEMEN SUCK!

Cornette: Don't you wish they did. Now, on to bigger stuff. Since the PPV, there have been some changes in the back, but it won't stop the Horsemen from taking care of business. Torin Caelum handed me a bunch of contracts and when I looked at them, they just tickled my belly. Too Sexy- you guys are riding high right now after a win over the Tribal Nation. Now you want a crack at the Tag Team Champions the Midnight Express? Too Sexy thinks that since they won a strap match against a team that is certainly a never will be, that they deserve a shot at the titles. Being the little puke face geeks that they are, they strolled on down to Torin Caelum's office and sat down at that contract table and said listen. We want to figure out some way to get Mister Cornette because the Midnight Express are too tough. We can't beat them. We can't handle them. We got to figure out some way to hornswoggle them with this piece of paper. So in the contract they put a stipulation. They feel that there is only one mountain left to climb and that is to try and take these titles and get at me with a strap. They want to take their greasy hands and whip me around the ring with their new tramp they try to pass off as a lady. Well, let me tell you something Too Sexy, I hate to be the one to come out here and bust your bubbles. But the fact of the matter is you ain't ever gonna whip me, you ain't ever gonna touch me, and you ain't ever gonna get near me because you have the Midnight Express standing in your way. So the stipulation is this. If the Midnight Express lose, then they lose the titles and I get 10 lashes with a strap. But let me tell you something Too Sexy. If The Midnight Express win, then we get to give you each 10 lashes and I get to spank that new piece of trash valet you got over my lap. So, here it is. Too Sexy we are going to whip you, we'll whip your brother and sister, we'll whip your mother, and if you want to bring your robot maid you got, we'll whip them too.

The crowd keeps chanting and booing as Cornette hands the mic to Harley Marlboro.

Marlboro: You people have absolutely no respect. You are looking at the new world champion. The man who will carry the SGL to the future. Now, I pride myself by surrounding myself with people who are capable of doing whatever needs to be done to be the very best in this sport. I have climbed the highest mountain and pitched my stake on the top to show all you that I am the pinnacle of professional wrestling. I am the highest standard in the SGL. You just knew it was going to come down to this. Torin Caelum, you and I meet once again. I have come to despise you. I have come to lose respect for you. I have come to loathe you. You and I are set to do battle in January 2071. You will meet your doom. You will meet devastation. You will meet the man who will end your career. You will meet the SGL World Champion, Harley Marlboro.

The Horsemen's music hits and all four men stand in the ring and raise their four fingers as we go to commercial.

[glow=red,2,300]Torin Talks Direction and The New Voice of the SGL [/glow]
Torin Caelum's music hits and out walks the new #1 contender for the world title and owner of the SGL. The crowd cheers loudly for Torin as he walks to the ring. Torin steps through the ropes and grabs a mic.

Caelum: Thank you so much. A lot has happened this past month. Some would say that these are becoming dark days for the SGL. Some would say this may become the end for the SGL as we know it. Yes, there have been some major changes to our company as of late. We have lost some stars. We have taken a step back as far as production. We have taken a step back in the way we do a lot of things. But let me tell you all something right now. We got guys in the back who are ready to give you everything they have. We have guys in the back who are ready to propel the SGL to the next stratosphere. We have guys in the back who will not turn their backs on you great fans of the SGL. The one thing I can promise you all is that we will move on and bring to you better action, better superstars, and better wrestling shows you have ever seen. You know, the reality of the matter is simple. I got a little over my head. I financially got in over my head. My mission in life was to create a galactic wide show that would compete with R.R.A.T.S which is a show I feel is too water down. Ratlick is a man I feel does not take the fans seriously. He uses trick mirrors and his deep pockets to produce a show that is phony and not true to competition. And I myself became guilty of the same fact. Sports entertainment got the best of me. Sports entertainment got the best of my wallet. So now, I can assure you all the we as a company are going back to basics. We are going to now bring to you a company like no other. We are going back to the great tradition of the sport of wrestling. We are going back to competition. We are going back to what it means to be great. We are part of the Galaxy Wrestling Alliance. We will do our part to bring to you great action month to month. We need your support as we push forward. We need you the fans to stick by us and these great superstars in the back. With your continued support, we can do just that.

The crowd cheers loudly and begins to chant SGL! SGL! SGL!

Caelum: Thank you. Now, recent events have caused us to change our direction and some movement in personnel. No company can exist without a voice for the company. With that said. They say things happen for a reason. Well, I can tell you now that things couldn't happen any better for the SGL as we now bring to you a new voice for the SGL. I am proud to present the new voice of the SGL who is ready to call the great action, Mr. James Ross.

A man with a suit and tie comes out from the curtain and walks to the ring. He gets in the ring and shakes the hand of Torin Caelum. He then walks out of the ring and grabs his headset and sits at ringside.

JR: Fans, thank you so much for the warm welcome. It is an honor to be with you all in the SGL. We are primed and ready. Tonight's card will be an absolute slobber knocker. Lets get to the action.

JR: Dr. Theremin, the galaxy wants know. What was in that needle and what happened to Behemoth's body?

Theremin: How dare you question the great scientist that I am. How dare you accuse me of doing anything corrupt. I nearly saved Behemoth's life. It was an unfair advantage by Chucho Morales who's wealth led to the creation of this monster. Well, let me speak to the galaxy right now. I discovered that the creature of Behemoth is an intelligent mass of plant life. He is a descendent of an experiment of mine that went wrong. What Chucho did not realize is that I have extensive and advanced botanical knowledge to control plant growth, and it was me who was hired to use plant toxins to create beasts like Behemoth to be used as soldiers enhanced by toxin-derived chemicals. I would go on to try and sell these soldiers to the highest bidder. But things went wrong. Where I had to redirect these machines and kill them off. But the Bolivian empire was one of the few governments who purchased this soldier. That is Behemoth. But now Chucho, your money brought him here, but what you don't realize is that you have brought him back to me. What was in the needle you say? To put it in terms that you can understand JR, toxins from plants and mind controlling pheromones. With that said. Let me introduce to you the newest wrestling machine and newest member of the United Nations. The mighty BEHEMOTH!

Behemoth walks out and towers over JR, Theremin, Ozymov, and Praveer.

Praveer: Look at tis man RJ.

JR: It's JR.

Praveer: Don't interrupt me you bug of man. Like I was saying RJ. Tis man is te man who will lead us to war on the SGL. United Nations will rule the galaxy. Praveer #1, Ozymov #1, Dr. Theremin #1, and Behemoth #1. Chucho Morales...HUCK PUEY!

Igneous vs. Barry O III
Igneous defeated Barry O III with an Igneous hits a perfect cross-body block! at 5:23

[glow=red,2,300]SCREW YOU![/glow]
Some excerpts from the comic book Manhunter 2070 altered to fit my storylines.

JR: Standing here with the enigma of the SGL, Igneous. Igneous, your team didn't get the job done at the PPV. We could hear you say that it was back to Aethra to deal with Dirge the Decapitator. How did it go for Moil and Blitz?


Credit LWPD

Igneous: You not need to worry about situations you yourself cannot control. My mission in the SGL is simple. In the year 2050, mankind had conquered space and colonized the solar system. However, with interplanetary and interstellar commerce came space pirates that preyed on freighters and mining operations of all the races of the galaxy. With the rise in piracy, the United Federation of Stars and Planets called on a new breed of freelance bounty hunters. One such man was me Igneous. I was outfitted with such weapons as a disinto-blaster and an exposi-needle gun to capture and take down pirates who brought shame to the galaxy. For years, I captured pirates and con men and handed them over to the maximum security prison on Deimos, Mars. But what did the U.F.S.P do? They stiff me on payments for my services. With that, I was contracted as a hit man for hire in 2069. Aethra was the one planet that deemed my services as valuable and have paid me very handsomely. Now, as far as Moil and Blitz, they have a mission that will keep them in Aethra. As for me, I have brought with me a man who will terrorize the SGL. A man who is a true freak of nature. You saw just a glimpse of him at the PPV as he came up from the ring to take out Torin Caelum. A man who will make his first wrestling appearance in January 2071. A man who will come here to SCREW the wrestlers of the SGL.

Morpheus vs. Utter Nebula
Morpheus defeated Utter Nebula with a TRIP TO HADES at 10:57

[glow=red,2,300]Morpheus is Ready for Gold [/glow]JR: An exciting young man who is making his mark on the SGL. His name is Morpheus. What an entrance to start off the PPV last month and what a victory for you. You are steadily moving up the ladder in the SGL.


Credit Werner Mueck

Morpheus: Would you expect anything less from me. The entrance was epic. It was Halloween and I wanted to bring something no one would expect and would always remember. But now it is back to basics. Cornette is out here earlier talking about running people out of the SGL. Well, Morpheus did just that too. I won't even mention the coward because he is gone. His name isn't even worth the breath of air. He was, however, the win I needed to take one step closer to the SGL World Title. Torin may have his shot first, but rest a sure I will be next in line. I am undefeated and I am the rising star. Take notice SGL. Morpheus is here to take over.

[glow=red,2,300]Mirror Mirror on the Wall [/glow]Excerpts taken from the Dark Knight altered to fit my storyline.

We see a mirror and the back of Hubris who is looking through the mirror at the camera. We see his face in the reflection as normal and handsome. However, we can see the side of his face as scarred.

Hubris: Mirror, mirror, on the wall, who is the fairest of them all?

Hubris begins to laugh

Hubris: AAAHH! You look disturbed by what you see. That's okay. I am a great story teller. Wanna know how I got these scars? You do? Well, my father was… a drinker. And a fiend. And one night he goes off crazier than usual. Mommy gets the kitchen knife to defend herself. He doesn’t like that. Not-one-bit. So – me watching – he takes the knife to her, laughing while he does it! Turns to me, and he says, “why so serious, son?” Comes at me with the knife… “Why so serious?” He sticks the blade in my mouth… “Let’s put a smile on that face!” and he cuts me up.

He looks at himself back in the mirror.

Hubris: Mirror, mirror, on the wall,
Who's the fairest of them all?
(He takes a deep breath and smiles) Hubris, you say? Ah, that's better
(His facial expression turns evil and he screams) MIRROR, MIRROR, YOU FRIGGIN FIBBER!!!
