Infinity Challenge Match
On the first Monday Night Mayhem of 2125, a special Infinity Challenge Scouting Battle Royal was held as a means of Abroz and Dialectas evaluating the remaining, undrafted competitors and allowing those individuals a chance to stand out, increasing their stock in the draft. The final two men left standing were Tanck and American Guy, with Guy eventually winning the contest. After being drafted behind American Guy in the remaining portion of the draft, despite having the most eliminations in the battle royal (6 to Guy’s 3), Tanck was irate and a new feud was born. Both big men claimed to be the most dominant force in the Infinity Challenge, and a series of “anything you can do, I can do better” challenges played out over the following weeks. They eliminated each other is an “over the top rope challenge”. American Guy was winning a beer drinking contest before Tanck ambushed him. Tanck was winning an arm wrestling contest before American Guy returned the favor. While Tanck may have won a “beat the clock” challenge, Guy got the better of the post match exchange. Finally, these two will lock it up in the middle of the ring where the true best man will be determined conclusively once and for all!
Infinity Challenge Match
Titan Energy Explodes!
Titan Energy Explodes!
The tag team that electrified GWF crowds across the universe with their dazzling, high speed offense began to have differences throughout 2124. Nitro began to worry more about his celebrity status and the ladies, developing an arrogant attitude that caused a division with his partner Tristan as well as his mentor, the GWF legend Lord Nexus. The once cohesive duo started to show signs of dissension, and their in-ring work and win-loss record suffered because of it. Everything finally came to a head in the Infinity Challenge Scouting Battle Royal when Titan Energy exploded! Miscommunication led to Tristan accidentally eliminating Nitro, after which an angry Nitro ignored Tristan’s apologetic pleas and sucker punched him, before kicking him while he was down. The cocky Titan aligned himself with rule-breakers like the Master Race and Vidtek and then went on to publically disparage and mock his former partner, going as far as to wear his mask, ridiculing him on an episode of the Video Lounge. He claimed that the Titans tried to control him and just ended up holding him back as we was the one carrying the team. Tristan, feeling hurt and betrayed, reluctantly agreed to a matchup as these former partners will go head to head for the first time
GWF Womens Title
Phantasy became the GWF Womens Champion with the help of her “companion” at the time, Commissioner Drury, enjoying a long title reign thanks to the help of Martial Law, the Commissioner, the GWF Security Squad and their usual underhanded tactics. When it was revealed late last year that Phantasy was actually performing some “covert operations” for the Dark Menace the entire time, the Commissioner lost it and vowed to make 2125 a living hell for his former fling. He forced her to defend the title he claimed to be responsible for her holding in a handicap match against his Alliance members, Strafe and Mother Superior, with Strafe taking advantage of the numbers game and winning the belt. When Phantasy attempted to enact her former champion’s rematch clause, Drury forced her to fight in another handicap match, since that was the type of match she lost the belt in. With her newfound ally, Sultana, banned from ringside (lest they both be terminated over her interference), Phantasy once again found herself on losing end of overwhelming odds. After the return of Drury’s archenemy, Hector the Holy Brown Bear, and thanks to his alliance with the Dark Menace and his newfound control over Drury, Phantasy found herself with one last shot at the title… this time it will finally be one on one!
] Grudge Match
After losing a hard fought match at Deimos Perennial to the departing GWF legend, Wolf, Paralyze had a run-in with the brash Anivar backstage at the following Monday Night Mayhem. Anivar mocked the Aethran for the loss, and when Paralyze patronizingly shot back that he didn’t even know who Anivar was, he shoved his newly tattooed fists in his face and proclaimed that he was “The Enforcer”. This set the big man off, and outraged by the sign of disrespect, he slapped Anivar’s hands away and shoved him. Anivar just laughed and walked away. The next week though, he found himself learning a lesson in respect as Paralyze attacked him backstage on his way to the ring for a match. In what can not be confirmed, but is believed to be an act of retaliation, Paralyze was laid out the following week by the rogue Sleeper Cell faction. While this feud is just beginning, tempers are sure to flare as these two meet in the ring in a true grudge match.

Infinity Challenge Tag Team Titles
The first two tag teams drafted in the Infinity Challenge squared off at Deimos Perennial to determine the first ever Infinity Challenge Tag Team Champions. Having been stripped of the GWF Tag Team Titles by Commissioner Drury following a decree that no wrestlers competing in the Infinity Challenge could hold GWF titles, the Leaders of the Pack were out for blood and gold against their former Dark Carnival foes, Dark Futures. Just as it looked like the AniMen had the match won, Malkuth accidentally hit the referee when lunging at Oracle and knocked him out. Tricks took advantage of the opportunity and laid out both of his opponents with a chair before placing Oracle on top of Malkuth and reviving the referee for the pin and titles. After the controversial ending to the match, a rematch with two referees was scheduled to help ensure a clean finish this time. However, Tricks purposely disqualified himself, and in a subsequent rematch was purposely counted out, realizing that not only would Dark Futures retain the titles, but due to the scoring system of the Infinity Challenge would also receive points for defending the titles (albeit by shady means) while the Leaders of the Pack would receive nothing for DQ and Count Out wins. While Tricks claims his genius level of IQ (aka foresight and ability to exploit loopholes) has allowed Dark Futures to remain champions, he and Oracle may need to reach deeper into their bag of… tricks, if they want to keep the belts this time. Angry and frustrated after being on the verge of victory several times, the Leaders of the Pack look for revenge and gold in a match where anything goes and a clear winner must emerge… the Titan Death Match!
] Revenge Match
Over the past few months, the GWF play by play announcer and Hall of Fame member, DragonMaster, had become increasingly critical of Commissioner Drury’s underhanded tactics and abuse of power, even going as far as to express his feelings during live broadcasts. Having his power and authority challenged on all fronts, including by the GWF Board of Directors themselves, Drury was not about to stand by idly as one of his employees criticized him to the viewing audience. To get this point across, he sent his right-hand man, Patch, to deliver a message to the announcer by roughing him up on live holovision. DragonMaster’s fellow Titan, Payback, came to his aid and prevented the ensuing beatdown from Drury’s messenger, igniting a new feud between the two. The following week, the Commissioner relieved DragonMaster of his announcing duties and ordered him to face Patch in a match, adding that if Payback interfered his contract would be terminated immediately. Deciding he could no longer stand by and watch the carnage taking place, Payback charged the ring only to be taken out by GWF Security and forced to watch as Patch continued the massacre of one of his mentors. Now it’s time for payback… and payback is a b*tch!
Infinity Challenge Match
Infinity Challenge Title
Infinity Challenge Title
Drafted first for their respective Infinity Challenge teams, and tasked with leading their teammates as team captain, Bloodline and U.S. Male began 2125 on similar journeys of redemption. U.S Male gave up his position in the FDF, something he dreamed of since entering the GWF, to rejoin his former partner in Covert Operations… a move that has since cost him the respect of his former teammates and proven to be a career setback. Bloodline spent years doing the bidding of his alleged mother, Mother Superior, while teaming with one of his greatest enemies, Encubus… finally breaking free from the manipulation and looking to end his career on his own terms. The Infinity Challenge provided them with the opportunity they each desired. When the two met to determine the first Infinity Challenge champion, U.S. Male easily defeated his older opponent and continued getting the better of him on several other occasions as well. The champion granted Bloodline another shot at the title, and over the following weeks the two appeared to have formed a bond out of mutual respect. However, after several weeks of frustration over losing and constantly hearing that he was a broken down old man who had gone soft and no longer had what it took to win, Bloodline resorted to underhanded tactics to finally beat U.S. Male, grabbing a hand full of tights for leverage in a match. While at first, it appeared as if the third generation star had reverted to his devious ways, he appeared conflicted over the outcome and perhaps what he had sacrificed to achieve it. Now with the title on the line, perhaps for the last time, will Bloodline capitalize on this one last shot at greatness in the twilight of his legendary career, and how far is he willing to go to do so… or will U.S. Male continue his dominance in the Infinity Challenge and continue to prove he deserves to be among the elite of the GWF?
GWF Universal Tag Team Titles
After stripping the Leaders of the Pack of the GWF Tag Titles, due to their involvement in the Infinity Challenge, Commissioner Drury offered the vacant titles to the new Gladiator team of Rush and Turmoil, along with the Co-Commissioner title to the Aethran Overmaster, as signs of goodwill, sealing their newly formed alliance. However, the Dark Menace interrupted and manipulated the situation by saying that the dominant Gladiator teams of the past were never handed titles and instead won them from the best competition the GWF had to offer, ultimately pitting the Gladiators against We Run This Fed to determine the new champions at Deimos Perennial. As was the plan all along, the two teams wore each other down in a grueling contest before being attacked in their weakened states by the Menace’s new tag team, the Ultimate Fighters. The following week, Drury’s archenemy, Hector the Holy Brown Bear, reappeared after seemingly being eliminated by Drury for good. The two had met in a match two months before at the Solar Slam Pay-Per-View, after which Drury tricked Hector into running headfirst into an ambush where he was beaten and shoved in the back of a space cruiser, never to be heard from again… until a few weeks ago. It was revealed that Hector knew of Drury’s plans ahead of time and took the opportunity to turn the tables, conspiring with the Ultimate Fighters (disguised as the drivers of the space cruiser), Thantos and the Dark Menace to team up and bring Drury down once and for all. After lying low for a few months and letting Drury believe he had eliminated his threat, Hector reemerged after playing mind games with the Commissioner and began blackmailing him, threatening to reveal more clues to his secret if he did not comply with his demands – which included adding the Ultimate Fighters and the Cerebral Assassins to the rematch for the vacant tag team titles, making it a fatal fourway. Meanwhile, his partner Thantos was playing mind games of his own with Drury’s partner Encubus, stalking him for weeks as he sabotaged his entrance video to show clips of and play the theme music of the original Thantos, filling his locker with old wrestling magazine featuring his father on the cover, and ultimately revealing himself and using his father’s submission hold to take him out. With the amount of history and bad blood between these eight men, and the prize that is on the line, this one is sure to be anything but pretty!
For the First Time Ever!
The history between Endgame and Paganax dates back to the end of the great war in Centra, when Endgame leant his support to the Heathen Chief – helping him in his legal battles against Syndicate Tech and reaching out to the Great Alliance of Centra, defending his right to remain on Primus and seeing that a sanctuary was created for the remaining tribesman. The two even formed a friendship with Endgame respecting Paganax for changing his ways and taking on the evil forces of The Dominion, even advising him on how to combat Godsend, having wrestled him himself years ago in the GWF. More recently, Endgame had offered Paganax a spot on the FDF and believed he was accepting the offer when he appeared during a match between the FDF and The Rogue’s Gallery on Monday Night Mayhem, until he spared Coven Black, instead attacking FDF member Ensor. After several weeks of Endgame pouring out his heart and asking his friend to talk to him, Paganax finally emerged only to choke out the leader of the FDF and leave him lying in the ring. He eventually explained his actions, saying that Endgame was afraid of him and was never really his friend and was just using him, whereas Drury did really did care about him and was going to use his power and authority to actually help him with his troubles. Believing his former friend had things backwards, but realizing he was too far gone to reason with, Endgame reluctantly agreed to the highly anticipated, epic showdown with the Heathen Chief.
The Main Event
GWF Universal Heavyweight Title
GWF Universal Heavyweight Title
Forfeiting the Universal Title at Deimos Perennial 2124, in order to be able to compete exclusively against Wolf over the course of the year in the Fatal Showdown, Monolith added a stipulation that he would face whoever the champion currently was the next year at the same event. The Aethran Overmaster won the subsequent tournament to determine the new champion and went on to hold the title over the course of the year in an impressive reign. After the “accident” on Aethra, the main event at Deimos Perennial, a year-long match in the making between Monolith and The Aethran Overmaster was postponed indefinitely, leaving the champion without an opponent. The Dark Menace, now handling Monolith’s contract, once again attempted to manipulate the situation by accusing the Overmaster of not being a fighting champion and demanded to name Monolith’s replacement for the match, introducing his newest signee, Havoc. However, this time the Gladiators got the better of the exchange by attacking Havoc prior to the match, severely injuring him which allowed the Overmaster to pick up the easy win. The Menace once again accused the Overmaster of being a coward, claiming that he could not beat the gothic ex-Aethran in a legitimate contest when he was 100%. Outraged, the champion agreed to the rematch, but promised this time to end Havoc’s career. Having been gone for several weeks, healing his injuries, Havoc made his return by costing the Overmaster a match against Covert Operations – nailing him with a chairshot from behind before laying him out with his finisher. Enraged by the interference which caused him to suffer a rare pinfall loss, the champion is more determined than ever to cripple his opponent. Havoc, who has a long history of defying Aethran authority, promises to take what matters most to the Overmaster… his Universal Heavyweight Title!
