Pretty close battle there. Congrats to Primary Colors for squeezing out the win.

CENTER STAGE SPECTACULAR XII

The United Stars Wrestling Federation held its twelfth annual Center Stage Spectacular Supercard on December 17, 2114 at Jupiter’s Callisto Centroplex. Over 56,000 fans attended the event. Special guests included current and former GWF and GWWF stars such as GWF Commissioner Morpheus, Omega, Commander Sam, Star Warrior, Wolf, Amazonia, Lord Nexus, Supernova, Johnny Rocket, Predator, and Wrath. Results of the card were as follows:

The Protectorate defeated Theater of Pain by disqualification
The feud between The King's Court and Death Knight's Black Knights continued as Tragedy was disqualified for blasting Sentinel with a chair on the arena floor to end a violent match.

Halcón Oro defeated Talisman
Oro made short work of Talisman with an "Ave de Rapina."

Dr. Payne defeated Blizzard by disqualification
Blizzard's recent slump continued as he was disqualified in a brawl on the arena floor.

Titan Hardcore Match: Lance At-Las defeated Homicide
In the farewell match for USWF legend homicide, At-Las got the win with a karate kick after a tough battle.  When the match was over, Lance helped his long-time adversary to his feet and led the crowd in a final cheer of salute.

"Well, that's the end," Homicide said after the match. "Not the way I wanted to go out, but this whole year has not been the way I would want to go out. Just remember what I've been in this federation. No one has been better. I helped build the USWF, and no one had better ever forget that."

Espionage defeated the Penthouse Punks
Shylock pinned Romulus with a "Pound of Flesh" to score the victory, but what happened after the bell shocked the crowd.  Kati, the manager for Espionage, climbed into the ring to celebrate the win with his men and was immediately attacked by Shylock and Saboteur. The duo beat down their manager for over three minutes before finally walking away and leaving him unconscious in the ring.

Lepus Stun Rod Match: Holocaust defeated the Dominator
A good back and forth match ended when Holocaust knocked out his opponent with a savate kick.

Between matches, Shylock spoke to an interviewer regarding Espionage's attack on Kati.  "We were going nowhere with that loser," he said. "We're the best team in this federation, and we've never been champions because he's held us back. And then his buddy Justice had the nerve a while back to say Kati shouldn't trust us? Well, guess what: he was right. We don't care who you are--if you insult us, we'll take you out.  We're moving on to better things, and we don't need Kati to get us there."

Cruiserweight Title Match:  Zed Marlowe (champion) vs. Stigma
Marlowe and Stigma have met many times in 2114, both in battles for the cruiserweight belt and as opponents in the King's Court-Black Knights feud. This time Stigma dominated the match, hammering Marlowe for five minutes before putting him away with a "Stigmata" to claim the cruiserweight title for the second time in his impressive rookie year.

The Ninja Assassins defeated the Troubleshooters by disqualification
In the final match for the Ninjas, Muss was disqualified in a brawl with Hydrax outside the ring.  

Mensa Table Match for the Hardcore Title: Mace (champion) vs. Angst
This contest was a wild battle, as most table matches are, but in the end Angst blasted Mace with an "Ante Mortum" to claim the hardcore belt for the second time in his career.

Upper Class (Varsity and Witherspoon) defeated Blackout (Charon and Scorpio) with Billy Jo Boxer as the special referee
Two of the USWF's most successful tag teams squared off in this match with USWF Head Official Billy Jo Boxer in the ring as the fifth man.  The contest was a tight back and forth fight that ended when Scorpio fell to a "Class Dismissed."

Interstellar Title Match:  Paragon (champion) vs. Puma
Puma had earned a non-title win over the champion recently, but on this night it was all Paragon as he took less than five minutes to stop his rookie challenger with a "Final Overture."  The win gave Paragon his seventeenth successful defense since winning the Interstellar Belt in July. After the bell, Paragon called for a ring microphone.

"Alright, it's about time to move up," the big man said. "I've proven that no one can take this title from me. Now I want the heavyweight championship. I don't care if Pathfinder or Blitz wins tonight. One way or another, I deserve to be the face of this federation, and next year I'm coming for that belt."

Falls Count Anywhere Match: Chupacabras defeated Wildcat
The feud between these two cruiserweights has intensified since Chupacabras turned on their manager, Terak.  In this match the transrevolved monster hit Wildcat with an "Aztec Attack" on the arena floor for the win.

Castor Chain Math: Raven defeated Colossus
In a battle of stars who have each held both the GWF and USWF heavyweight championships, Raven hit a crucifix power bomb to score the win at the eight minute mark.

USWF Tag Team Title Match: The Pekhota (champions) vs. Splatter and Justice
Splatter and Justice had been on a terrific roll in recent weeks, but they were unable to defeat the champions on this night as Molotok put away Splatter with a deathjump.  After the final bell, Shylock and Saboteur ran to the ring and and attacked Splatter and Justice. The four men battled their way to the back of the arena and out of sight.

Gutarr Stick Match Jack of Diamonds defeated Death Knight II
This match was an outstanding battle, with both wrestlers taking a beating until Jack broke his stick over DK II's head, hammered him with it, and then scored the pin with a "Jacked Up," finally earning a clean win against the masked man.

After the bell, Exo-king, Zed Marlowe, and the Protectorate ran to the ring and attacked Death Knight II. Jack of Diamonds watched for a brief moment, then shrugged and walked away. Death Knight soon arrived with Stigma and Theater of Pain, and the two teams battled violently for nearly four minutes until a high-pitched whine suddenly filled the arena and the lights went out.  When the lights came back on, all of the combatants in the ring were lying stunned on the mat except for Sentinel, who stood smiling over Exo-King and Zouave.  Also standing in the ring were Daemon, Lycosa, and another figure who had not been seen in either the GWF or the USWF in many years:

Darkos, the Master Assassin, had returned.

Darkos called for a ring microphone. "Ah, it's good to be back," he said. "I thought it was time for me to join your little feud and clear some things up. Death Knight, yes, Exo-King paid me to throw Sudden Death and exile you. I was paid very well, and it was no big sacrifice since you were pretty useless anyway. It happened years ago. You should get over it, but if you can't let it go, I'm here to settle things.

"Exo-King, we had a one-time arrangement," the Assassin leader continued. "I never did like you.  Still don't.  So if we're going to dredge up the past, let's do it. We still have scores to settle between us.

"The Masked Assassins are back," Darkos concluded. "You see my men here.  Daemon has decided that he's not quite ready to retire yet and wants some singles action. Lycosa is an old friend. Sentinel has had enough of hanging around with losers like Zouave and Exo-King.  And I have one more old friend who will be joining us, but I'll save that surprise for next year. Get ready, because this war between the King and Death Knight just became a three-way feud, and it's going to get a lot more interesting."

USWF Heavyweight Title Match: Pathfinder of Ceres (champion) vs. Blitz
In his retirement match, Pathfinder looked like his younger self, hammering the Aethran powerhouse all over the ring for seven minutes before putting him away with a "Ceres Crunch."

After the final bell, the fans gave Pathfinder a deafening ovation. Commissioner Grogan came to the ring, and Pathfinder relinquished the heavyweight belt to him.  The big man from Ceres, who has won more matches and held the heavyweight championship more than anyone else in USWF history, then waved to the crowd again and left the ring for the last time, smiling in triumph.

A short time later, Justice and Splatter returned to the locker room, having battled Shylock and Saboteur all the way out of the arena.  "That was fun," Splatter said. "I needed one last good brawl.  And now, like Pathfinder and Homicide, I'm done too. No fanfare or celebrations for me. I didn't want any. I'm going out my own way, bruised and sweaty but still standing. If you can wake Shylock up after what Arsenal and I did to him, tell him it was a fun night. Thanks for the final memory."

Justice also commented after returning to the building.  "Yeah, the Pekhota beat us, but Splatter was going to retire anyway, so who cares?" he said. "I'm surprised that Splatter and I worked so well together, but we had a good year, and we proved we could both still win in this federation. I'll be back next year, and if things work out as I expect, I'll have a new tag team partner--one you all know very well and who I've worked with before. It's going to be fun. See you in 2115."

NEW AND FAMILIAR FACES AT USWF'S OPENING PRESS CONFERENCE

The United Stars Wrestling Federation held its 2115 year-opening press conference on January 22 in the press room of Colby Palace on Planet Colby. USWF Commissioner Grogan conducted the event. Seated on stage with the commissioner were USWF majority owner Magnus Colby, Kati, Spike, Thayne, Exo-King, Darkos, Death Knight, Talisman, Brainstorm, the Unknown Soldier, Gila, Vascor, Marikel Magnifique, Silver Ace, Phantasy, Cassandra, and Maleph.  Most of the federation’s active wrestlers were in the audience along with the media.

“Good day, everyone. Welcome back from the holiday break,” Commissioner Grogan began. “The USWF is growing:  we currently have more wrestlers under contract than we have ever had, more, in fact, than the GWF has.  And we have a lot of excitement in store for everyone this year.  You are going to see some new competitors introduced today, but we also have a number of returning stars.  So let's get started.”

Team representatives then made the following announcements:

Exo-King (Manager, King's Court): "Everyone knows that Death Knight and I are going to keep making life miserable for each other, and now Darkos has joined the party. That's fine.  Sentinel betrayed me last year, but I still have Zed Marlowe and Zouave. And for a tag team, I am bringing in my old friend the Mad Jester and his clone."

Death Knight (Manager, The Black Knights): "You're pathetic, King. None of your men can measure up to mine.  We return Death Knight II, Stigma, and Theater of Pain, and we will crush you again this year."

Darkos (Manager, The Masked Assassins): "Don't count on it, you old relic.  There's a new player on the board, and it's me.  You all saw last year that Sentinel has joined me, as have Daemon and Lycosa.   And we have a special surprise:  joining us as Lycosa's tag team partner, re-forming Assassin Air Raid from many years ago, will be Enigma."

Silver Ace (Manager, Primary Colors): "We are the defending War Games Champions, and we are the dominant team in this federation just as we have been for so many years.  Along with Interstellar Champion Paragon, who will soon be USWF Heavyweight Champion, and our great tag team of Varsity and Witherspoon, we have added Chupacabras to our group for this year."

Unknown Soldier (Manager, The Star Defenders): "The Star Defenders have been around as a team even longer than Primary Colors, and we are after Primary Colors this year.  We are sad to have lost the great Pathfinder of Ceres to retirement, but we are pleased that Black Hawk is back in the USWF and rejoining us this year. We are also excited that Jack of Diamonds has agreed to join us.  And for a tag team, we have a real treat: Lance At-las will be re-forming Code of Honor with his old partner, Justice."

Gila (Manager, The Savage Kingdom): "We are fortunate that Halcón Oro will be a full member of our team this year, joining Puma and our tag team the Hunters of Prey, who we expect to be much improved."

Brainstorm (Team leader, Intelligent Design): "Save it, Gila.  I have a new team, and we're going to make an example of your Kingdom. Terak is our manager, but I'm in charge. Joining me in competition will be Wildcat and our tag team specialists, Espionage."

Kati (Manager, The Untamed Warriors): "So that's where those two backstabbers wound up.  Fine. You can have them. I have a much better team. Charon and Scorpio, known together as Blackout, will be our tag team.  And for singles wrestlers, I have signed Raven and, returning to the USWF after a year away, Lycanthrope, son of Wolf."

Spike (Manager, The Gladiators of Aethra): "And you are toast already, Kati.  The Gladiators are back in the USWF. I'm going to leave our GWF team to Brute so that I can be here full time. Joining Blitz in singles competition is Venom, returning after his two year exile. And we have a new tag team, straight from one of our Aethran prison camps. They are called Chain Gang. Individually they will just be known by their prison numbers:  37927 and 30265.  We are more than ready to crush anyone in this federation."

Marikel Magnifique (Manager, Penthouse Suite): "Well, get in line, Spike.  Penthouse Suite has always been the class of this federation.  Dominator seems to have left us, but he wasn't much use anyway.  We still have Colossus. We still have the Penthouse Punks.  And we have a new man as well. His name is Pendekar, and he will be a star in the USWF."

Vascor (Manager, Retribution): "And you have a problem, Marikel. Two years ago Penthouse Suite fired me and exiled Tarloc. Tarloc has thought about nothing but revenge for two years.  He's back now, and so am I, and we've put together a great team to beat you clowns.  First, we will be joined by Prodigy, newly arrived from the GWF. And as a tag team, we will introduce you to two of your former members, now known as Aran Explosion:  The Dominator and, returning to the USWF after several years, Terminus."

Phantasy (Manager, The Phantastics): "You all talk a good game, but Holocaust and the Troubleshooters will dominate you all."

Cassandra (Manager, Cassandra's Army): "Dream on, you blonde airhead.  Mace and the USWF Tag Team Champions the Pekhota are the best team in this federation."

Talisman (Team Leader, The True Way): "Best team?  No.  Indigo, Blizzard, and I will show everyone the True Way."

Maleph (Manager, The Void): "The Lower World and Mourn are back to expose the True Way and Talisman for the fakes they are."

Thayne (Team Leader, the Agents of Change): "I am forming a new team this year, the Agents of Change.  I have invited a friend from my own civilization, Viggo, to join me.  And our third man will be Angst, who has agreed to work with us this year. But I am confused. My enemy Dar Gova is not here and has not been mentioned, and everyone on stage has spoken now. Where is Dar Gova?"

Suddenly the familiar sound of gunfire rang out. The doors to the press room burst open, and, to the surprise of everyone in attendance, in walked Krakan, followed Dar Gova, an unfamiliar newcomer, and USWF legend Dagger Mack.

The Invincible Krakan (Manager, The Agents of Fortune): "Dar Gova has joined a real team.  I may be banned from the GWF, but I can still manage here. You all know that Dagger Mack and I have been allies for years. And Dar Gova has brought in his friend Ahnu to make us the most powerful team in the USWF. Homicide and the Ninja Assassins may be gone, but the Agents of Fortune are far from finished."

Commissioner Grogan took back the microphone.  "Yes, I have signed Krakan to a contract," he said.  "I did so with a bit of reluctance, but we will see how it goes. I also want to announce that Dynamo and Gordo have informed me that they will form a tag team called the "Strongmen," and the Musketeers, Palishandor and Shanramore, will also be back. Rasuptin, Necros, and Bust Up may also show up from time to time.  And I think that covers it for now. It should be a great year. We will see everyone at the first card of 2115 her at Colby Palace tomorrow evening."

DEBUTS, UPSETS, AND STATEMENTS ABOUND AT FIRST USWF CARD OF 2115

The United Stars Wrestling Federation held its first card of 2115 on January 23 at Colby Palace on Planet Colby.  Commissioner Grogan opened the card with an announcement.

"As you all know, Pathfinder retired as USWF Heavyweight Champion at the end of 2114," Grogan began. "At this time, therefore, the heavyweight title is vacant. We considered holding an immediate tournament, but we have determined another course now.  On March 2 at Fire Island of Mercury, we will hold our annual Star Challenge Tournaments. Normally the Star Challenge Singles Tournament winner is granted a shot the heavyweight belt.  However, this year the stakes will be higher. This year, the winner of the Star Challenge Tournament will be crowned the new heavyweight champion. As you know, the Star Challenge is an invitational tournament.  We will determine the participants in the coming weeks. Good luck to everyone."

Several wrestlers made their USWF debuts on the January 23 card. Among the newcomers, Pendekar fell quickly to Tarloc, while the new Aethran tag team Chain Gang destroyed the Lower World. In addition, Thayne defeated Ahnu in Ahnu's first match, and Viggo stopped Dar Gova in Viggo's debut. The last two matches, coupled with Lycanthrope's beatdown of Dagger Mack in a Four Weapons of Destruction Match, meant that Krakan's debut as a USWF manager was ruined as all three members of his "Agents of Fortune" team lost.

In addition to Lycanthrope and Tarloc, numerous other veteran wrestlers made their returns to the USWF.  Prodigy was surprised by Indigo, Jack of Diamonds was upset by Chupacabras, Black Hawk fell to Colossus in an outstanding match despite inflicting a terrible beating on the cyborg, and Venom claimed a win over Raven. In tag team action, the new team of Aran Explosion (Terminus and the Dominator) destroyed the Musketeers (Palishandor and Shanramore), and the newly reformed Code of Honor (Lance At-LAs and Justice) put away Assassin Air Raid (Enigma and Lycosa) in a terrific contest.

While none of the currently filled USWF titles were on the line on this card, challengers made some strong statements in non-title matches. Cruiserweight Champion Stigma took down Halcón Oro without much difficulty, but Espionage, with a new manager in Terak and a new attitude, upset USWF Tag Team Champions the Pekhota. In a bigger surprise, Mace overcame Interstellar Champion and 2114 Wrestler of the Year Paragon for a non-title win.

"Last year was tough, but I finally feel like I'm on track," Mace said after the match. "I proved I can handle Paragon. I can handle anyone.  But the Interstellar belt is not what I want. I'm going after the heavyweight title, and I'll take it a the Star Challenge."

In other important contests, the three-way feud between the King's Court, Death Knight's Black Knights, and the Masked Assassins was on display in several matches. Zouave scored a win over his former partner and now Masked Assassin member Sentinel in a terrific match with a "Death Be Not Proud." Exo-King's new tag team, the Mad Jester and his clone, claimed a hard-fought victory over Death Knight's Theater of Pain. However, Dameon, now fighting as a singles wrestler for the Assassins, spoiled the King's night by defeating Zed Marlowe.  

In what may have been the best match on the card, Puma started 2115 well with a big win over the Aethran powerhouse Blitz, scoring the pin with a "Sideswipe." Finally, Blackout (Charon and Scorpio) took down the Troubleshooters, and Holocaust, though he appeared to have less physical strength than in the past, upset Death Knight II.

"We all get older," Holocaust shrugged. "Power exists in a lot of forms, and the inherent power I've always had is subject to change like any other form. So, yes, the shock power and the strength I've always had have diminished.  But I'm not done yet, as I proved tonight.  I still have a lot left, and I'll prove that to anyone who wants to get into the ring with me."
