Marther runs into the Galaxian Bakery. He runs right to the Cakejedi's office, opens the door, and runs in.

"Master! Master! You won't believe what I have for you..."

"Calm down, my Padawan. A Pastry Jedi must not be prone to excitability."

"I'm sorry, Master. It's just that you have been so depressed about the Miss Demitasse situation that I thought you could use some good news."

"How thoughtful of you, my young Padawan. You are correct. The Cakejedi has been feeling down lately. What is your news?"

'You will never believe what I have found! I was going through my grampy's old things and I found holo-recordings of the beginning of the GWF! You could show these at the Bakery!"

"That is an exciting discovery, my Padawan. But do you think that people will want to watch these old matches?"

"OH YES!!!!! Do you know how hard these recordings are to find? They go for big credits on galaxy-bay. This will be a huge draw for the Bakery!"

"OK! We will give it a try. But you will be in charge of showing these recordings. You will do all the advertising and host the events."

"Thank you Master! I can't wait for the first Early Classics night here at the Bakery."

"I'm sure it will be a lot of fun."

Marther turns to walk out of the office.

"Marther!"

"Yes Master!"

"Thank you for some exciting news. The Cakejedi needed it!"

"You're welcome, Master!"

GWF Championship Tournament

GWF Card #1
October 2074

Deimos Arena
Attendance: 9,461 (capacity 27,000)



Omega and Morpheus are talking backstage, minutes before the first match is scheduled to begin.

Morpheus is pacing. “This is a disaster! Even with all of the free tickets I gave away, the arena is not even half full. We’re ruined!”

“Have faith, my friend. When most people think of wrestling, they still think of the barbaric P.O.W. But when they see what the GWF offers in terms of competition and a healthy outlet for aggression, we will be the hottest show in the galaxy.”

‘This is not about faith, it is about making a profit so that I can provide for my retirement in a luxury palace on Neptune. You had better be right about all of this.”

“Have faith, my friend. Have faith!”



Round 1 Matches


-K.O. Keller (4 pin tokens) vs. Bullwhip

Omega comes down to ringside to watch the historic first match.

Bullwhip dominated the match, but Keller managed to trap him in the corner of the ring and attacked Bullwhip with the Ten Count to get the pin.

The fans show no reaction during the match.

After the pin, Bullwhip grabs his hat and starts to stomp on it in frustration. Omega climbs into the ring and puts his hand on Bullwhip’s shoulder.

“Relax, my friend. You wrestled a great match. K.O. Keller was just the better man tonight. But you will have great success in the GWF. Have faith! Now, why don’t the two of you shake hands to celebrate a hard fought match.”?

K.O. Keller extends his hand to Bullwhip. Bullwhip looks confused. After a moment of hesitation, Bullwhip shakes Keller’s hand. He then grabs his smashed hat and his lasso and leaves the ring. While walking down the aisle towards the backstage area, the lasso gets tangled around Bullwhip’s feet, causing him to trip and fall.

The crowd, which was quiet during the match, erupts into laughter.



-Morpheus vs. Trotarus (2)

Omega stays at ringside to watch his partner’s match.

Morpheus made Trotarus submit to the cobra grip.

Again, the crowd has no reaction to the match.

Omega climbs into the ring.

“Congratulations, my friend. Why don’t you shake Trotarus’s hand. He was a worthy opponent.”

Morpheus looks annoyed at Omega’s suggestion, but does give Trotarus a brief hand shake.

“Omega, it is like we are wrestling in front of a comatose crowd. We are a failure!”

“Have faith, my friend. The night is not yet over.”

Under his breath, Morpheus mumbles “And that means I still have time salvage this wreck.”



-Blood vs. Moonstrike (3)

Blood dominated the match and pinned Moonstrike with the Blood Bath.



Morpheus finds Commander Sam backstage waiting for his match.

“Commander, most of this crowd is from Earth and they are just waiting to cheer someone. You can become the GWF’s biggest star. Go on out there and play to the fans. They will love you.”



-Commander Sam (5) vs. Ricken Prince (1)

When Commander Sam was announced as being from Earth, the crowd cheered for the first time. Sam spent time shaking hands with the crowd as he came to the ring.

The match went back and forth and saw action both in and out of the ring. The match ended when Ricken Prince pinned Commander Sam after The Royal Decree.


Backstage, Morpheus is furious.

“That fool! He just messed up the chance to be the biggest star in the GWF. Nothing is going right tonight. I need to do something drastic!”



-Solar Flare vs. Omega

Omega takes his time walking to the ring. He pauses to shake hands with the fans at ringside, thanking them for coming.

Omega won the match with the Cosmic War Dance.

After the match, Omega shakes Solar Flare’s hand.



-Backlash (4) vs. Torin Caelum (3)

In the best match of the night so far, Torin Caelum pinned Backlash after a dropkick.

Despite the great performance by both wrestlers, the crowd remains quiet.



-Morpheus finds Commander Sam backstage.

“Commander, tough luck during your match tonight. You will get a win next time, I am sure of it. In the meantime, Torpor’s match is up next. I am going to be in a meeting with Omega for the next couple of minutes. Now, I am no military strategist, but it seems like this might be a good opportunity for a ‘sneak attack’ against one of Earth’s enemies.”

Morpheus walks away.

A smile comes across Commander Sam’s face.



-Torpor (1) vs. Jammer

Jammer made Torpor submit to the Bad Night.

Commander Sam runs to the ring. He pushed the referee aside and clotheslines Torpor from behind. Sam then climbs up to the top turnbuckle and delivers a flying elbow smash to Torpor’s knee.

The fans cheer Commander Sam’s surprise attack.

Torpor is taken out of the ring on a hover-stretcher.



-Santon (4) DQ vs. Screw

The fans make an audible gasp as the monster Screw comes to the ring.

Screw hit Santon with a flurry of power moves, which received cheers from the fans. The agile and crafty Santon was able to avoid getting into a pin situation. The match spilled outside of the ring, where Santon got disqualified for hitting Screw with his sword.

For the first time all evening, the audience was really into a match, cheering Screw’s display of power and booing Santon every time he avoided a pin attempt.



-Morpheus was backstage getting ready for his second round match. Omega comes running up to him in a panic.

“Morpheus, did you hear what Commander Sam did to Torpor? What are we going to do about this?”

“Not now, my friend. My match is up next.”

“But…”

Morpheus leaves for the ring.

Omega looks dejected.

“This is not what the GWF was supposed to be about.”



SECOND ROUND MATCHES


-Morpheus vs. K.O. Keller (4)

Morpheus made quick work of Keller, pining him with the Trip to Hades.




- Blood (1) vs. Ricken Prince

After Ricken Prince hit Blood with two deathjumps, he went for the kill with a third. But Blood moved out of the way and applied the Scar Tissue to make Ricken Prince submit.



-Morpheus found Commander Sam backstage.

“Commander, you had better get out of here. Omega is throwing a hissy fit over your little ambush on Torpor.

“That evil monster deserved everything he got. He is an enemy of Earth and I will defeat every single one of Earth’s enemies.”

“I appreciate your patriotism, Commander. But it might be a good strategy to lay low until Omega cools down.”

“I will never retreat. Not while Earth’s enemies are at large!”

“Listen to me, Commander! Torpor has been taken to a med center on Jupiter. I assure you that there are no more ‘enemies of the Earth’ hanging around this arena. Now PLEASE get out of here. If Omega sees you, for as mad as he is right now, he may ban you from the GWF for life. Then you won’t be able to get your hands on Torpor or any other ‘enemy of the Earth’. Got it?”

“That sounds like good strategy.”

Commander Sam leaves.

“I may have created a monster.”

Omega comes running down the hall.

“Morpheus, there you are my friend. We need to talk about Commander Sam.”

“Omega, please let it go Your match is up next. This is our dream come true. Enjoy it. We can make a decision about Commander Sam tomorrow. Let tonight be about the glorious birth of the GWF.”

“You are right, my friend. This is why we work so well together. We keep each other balanced.”

Omega hugs Morpheus.

“Have faith.”

Omega leaves to go to the ring.

Morpheus sighs. “Make that two monsters.”



-Omega (1) vs. Torin Caelum (7)

Caelum kicked out of several pin attempts by Omega but finally was defeated by a Tomahawk Thrust.

Both men shake hands after the match.




-Morpheus finds Cordsar backstage.

“Cordsar, how does it feel to be left out of the tournament tonight?”

“It stinks. But someone had to be left out, and I was the unlucky one.”

“You are pathetic. If I was left out of the tournament on this, the biggest day in professional wrestling history, I would be sure to leave a mark. I would want history to remember me. I would make sure the history recorders had to include my name. Oh well, I guess that’s just me.”

Morpheus leaves.



-Jammer vs. Screw (1) DQ

Screw received a big cheer from the audience as he made his way to the ring.

The match spilled out of the ring. Screw was disqualified for picking up Jammer and throwing him into the audience. Jammer landed twenty rows into the audience. The fans go crazy for Screw’s impressive strength.



-SEMI-FINAL MATCHES


-Blood DQ vs. Morpheus

The match spilled out of the ring. The two wrestlers brawled on the arena floor. Blood lost his temper, grabbed a chair, and hit Morpheus with it, getting disqualified.



-Omega vs. Jammer (2)

Jammer kicked out of two Tomahawk Thrusts but could not withstand a third. Omega got a pin.


INTERMISSION


-Omega walked into Morpheus’ office.

“Well, my friend, this is it. We are going to crown the first ever GWF Champion. History will look back on this as a pivotal moment in our galaxy. We are learning to channel our aggression into productive, competitive outlets instead of barbaric acts of warfare.”

Omega’s eyes begin to water.

“And there is no one I would rather compete against at this history making moment than you, my friend.”

Omega hugs Morpheus and then leaves the office to make his way to the ring.

As soon as Omega was gone, Morpheus states “And there is no one I would rather trample on my way to fame and fortune than you, you idealistic fool.”



GWF CHAMPIONSHIP FINALS

Morpheus (2) vs. Omega (2)

Omega kicked out of two Trip To Hades before pinning Morpheus with a sunset flip.


The referee presents Omega with the GWF CHAMPIONSHIP Gold Medal. Omega proudly puts it around his neck.


Cordsar walks to the ring with a mic.

“Omega, how can you wear that medal with any pride? You cannot call yourself the best wrestler in the GWF when you did not allow all of the wrestlers to compete in this scam of a tournament. Were you afraid of me? Is that why you excluded me?”

“Of course not, my fri….”

Dorado Sundown comes down to the ring.

Backlash has a mic. “Cordsar is right, you can’t wear that medal with any kind of pride. This whole dang tournament was fixed. How else do you explain the two owners of this rotten organization ending up in the finals?”

Morpheus looks angry. “How dare you! Omega is a man of honor.”

Morpheus pushes Backlash. Bullwhip punches Morpheus. Cordsar pushes Omega. Backlash punches Cordsar and all five wrestlers engage in a wild brawl.

The fans go crazy, cheering the chaos in the rings.


Morpheus was slamming Bullwhip’s head repeatedly into the mat. He stops, looks at the fans standing on their feet pumping their fists and cheering, and a smile comes across his face.

[Alexander Ubel]

Hell Yeah! The Galaxian Bakery has come to the CWA.

Great first show. I really like how you are already showing the mean streak and conniving of Morpheus.

Welcome the the CWA.

[Deleted]

Nicely donw CakeJedi.

[Eliath]

I echo Dharneth's "HELL YEA!!"

Outstanding opening to Bakery Classics!!!

Welcome to the CWA!! This is going to be EXCELLENT!!! GREAT JOB!!!!

[cakejedi]

Thanks Dharneth, Neilyzilla, and Eliath for the positive reaction to my first EC card.

Yes, Dharneth, Morpheus is a lot of fun to write ;D

Life and it's stresses took me away from the game for a while, but I now realize that when I get stressed, I NEED to make time for something fun. So I am excited to get the dice rolling again!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[cakejedi]

Morpheus is in his office talking on a communicator.

Omega walks in.

“…ummmm, I have to go. If you need any more details, please call me. Thank you for your interest in my concerns.

Omega, don’t you knock? And you’re early, too.”

“I’m sorry, my friend. I couldn’t sleep. I am just so upset about what happened last night. The way Commander Sam behaved. Cordsar’s disrespect. The Dorado’s. Our greatest night was ruined.”

“Ruined? Didn’t you hear the fans at the end of the night? They were excited for the first time all evening.”

“Yes, but they were excited for all the wrong reasons. We must have order and honor in the GWF.”

“Order and honor do not sell tickets.”

‘Have faith, my friend. The fans will come to respect what the GWF is about.”

“You foo…you are right.”

“So, what are we going to do with Commander Sam?”

“What are we going to do? NOTHING! Didn’t you hear the fans? They want to see Sam get a piece of one of the enemies of the Earth. Commander Sam versus Torpor equals ticket sales. And we need to sell tickets if we are going to stay in business.”

“But we cannot have wrestlers ambushing each other in the GWF.”

Morpheus is becoming frustrated.

“FINE! How about this? Torpor was the wronged party. Let’s make a policy that says any wrester wronged by another wrestler can decide the appropriate punishment. He can either decide to have the offending wrestler suspended or he can extract some revenge by meeting him in the ring. That is fair, isn’t it?”

“That…that would be acceptable. But we do need some kind of code of conduct in the GWF. We need some kind of Galactic Code of Conduct.”

“A Galactic Code of Conduct. Omega, are you kidding me?”

“No, my friend. I am most ashuradly NOT kidding. Our wrestlers need to know that this is not the P.O.W. They need to know that they are expected to behave in a certain way.”

“OK, so you want a Galactic Code. What will this code dictate?”

“That is something we will need to work out over the next couple of months. But the first principle of the Code came to me during my sleepless night. The wresters in the GWF must respect one another. Therefore, at the end of every match, the competitors must shake each other’s hand.”

“Shake hands? This is not gymn class!”

“My friend, I will not budge on this! If you want Commander Sam and Torpor to fight each other, they must, at the end of the night, be able to show respect to one another. There was an old sport on Earth called NHL. If was rough and brutal. The players would beat on each other and often times a fight would break out during the game. But the two teams would always shake hands at the end of the game. This is something we need in the GWF.”

“Fine. Our wresters will shake hands after their matches.”

“Thank you , my friend. Have faith! This is going to work.”

Omega leaves Morpheus’ office.

“Oh I have faith , alright. I have faith that someday I will be shaking you hand after I have spilled your blood all over the ring.”

GWF Card #2
November 2074

Deimos Arena
Attendance: 6,116 (Capacity 27,000)


-Omega is in his office going over some last minute computer work before the tournament begins. Morpheus walks in.

“Hi ‘old friend’. There is a reporter from GNN here that would like to interview one of us. You are a lot better at the P.R. stuff than me. Plus, you are the Heavyweight Champion. Do you want to take care of it?”

“We need to start preparing for our first match.”

“Listen, Omega. We don’t have a lot of credits to advertise the GWF. This interview will be free exposure. We can’t pass up this opportunity!”

“O.K. I can give the reporter a few moments. But we need to go over our strategy for our match against Caelum and Prince.”

“I will be in our locker room waiting. Go there as soon as you are done.”

As Omega leaves the office, Morpheus yells

“Make us look good on GNN, ‘old friend’”





-“Thank you for taking time to meet with me, Mr. Omega. My name is Black Hole Blanchard from GNN news. The truth does not escape my grasp. I know you are busy getting ready for the matches tonight. This won’t take long.”

“It is my pleasure, Mr. Blanchard.”

“I understand that this is a big night for your organization.”

“Yes, we are going to crown the first ever GWF Heavyweight Tag Team Champions.”

“How exciting for you. Let’s begin by talking about the protesters outside the arena.”

“What protesters?”

“Surely you have seen them. There are hundreds of people outside from different religious, pacifist, and parenting groups protesting the violence that the GWF seems to be promoting.”

“Well…I…er….I was here since early this morning taking care of GWF business. I had no idea that any type of protest was taking place.”

“How do you respond to their allegations that the GWF is nothing more than a place to promote and glamorize violence?”

“That is NOT what the GWF is about. It is going to be a place to allow for the proper outlet of aggression that gets pent up in many members of all species across the universe.”

“That maybe so, but what about the children. Many of the protesters claim that children should not be exposed to this kind of violence.”

“I…uh…um…Listen, I need to go and prepare for my match tonight. I would be glad to address these questions at a later date.”

Omega gets up and quickly walks away.





-Omega runs into The Guardians locker room.

“Morpheus, we have a problem!”

“Calm down. What is wrong?”

“There are protesters outside!”

“Is that all? I know all about those protesters.”

“You do? And you didn’t do anything about them?”

“Of course not!”

“But they are going to give the GWF a bad name.”

“Are you stup…”

Morpheus takes a deep breath.

“Listen. Those protesters are going to give us exposure. The more exposure we get, the more people are going to learn about us. This little protest is the best free advertising we could possibly ask for.”

“But.”

“Omega, please trust me. This will help the GWF. My retirement home on Saturn is riding on it. As you like to say, ‘Have Faith’”

“ I do trust you, my friend. I guess I just don’t understand business end of running an organization.”

“Then aren’t you glad you have me?”

“Yes. Yes I am.”

Morpheus laughs under his breath.

-GWF HEAVYWEIGH TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP TOURNAMENT

FINALS

The Guardians (Omega & Morpheus) vs. Paladin Power (Moonstrike & Solar Flare (1))

Moonstrike gave Omega a piledriver on the concrete floor. Omega was counted out of the ring. Solar Flare grabbed a microphone.

“No! No! Paladin Power does not want to win this way. We want to earn the Tag Team Championship by pinning our opponents. Restart the match.”

Omega climbed into the ring and tagged in Morpheus. Morpheus used the Trip To Hades to pin Solar Flare.

Moonstrike ran into the ring and confronted Solar Flare.

“What were you thinking? We had the Tag Team titles in our hands!”

“I am sorry. But Champions win by pinfall or submission. We could not call ourselves champions if we won any other way.”

Moonstrike sighs. He walks over to the referee and takes the gold case containing the Heavyweight Tag Team Championship gold medals. He hands one to Solar Flare. They place the gold medals around the necks of Omega and Morpheus. Omega shakes the hands of Solar Flare and Moonstrike.

“You are honorable men. You will receive a rematch.”

Morpheus stares at his gold medal with a big smile on his face.
