CARD 2130.273 – CIVIL WAR 2130

From Deimos Intergalactic Arena, Deimos

Commentary: Trent Lawless
Backstage/Ringside: Nitro

It’s a standing room only crowd tonight at the Deimos Intergalactic Arena!  The fans are rabid as we begin the first of three big SuperCards to end the year!  Tonight, it’s all about tag teams!  Eight teams will battle for that coveted title shot at BIG BANG against current GALAXIAN TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS THE IMMORTALS.

We see Sur, Bex and Ghena in one of the posh luxury boxes.  They are just as curious as the assembled throng to see who they will defending against!  Commissioner Euritar welcome everybody and reminds everyone that all the matches tonight will be TITAN DEATH RULES so there are clear winners.  He adds, however, any major rule-breaking will be dealt with.

We are ready for ROUND ONE!

TITAN DEATH RULES
RUSH & TURMOIL vs. HOUSE OF PAIN

The Gladiators make their way to the ring and await HOUSE OF PAIN.  The trio of HOUSE OF PAIN, currently under the leadership of Tricks make their way ringside and they are arguing loudly.  The Gladiators watch as the trio almost comes to blows deciding who will be in the match tonight!  It’s finally decided that Nosfera will team with Hector, The Holy Brown Bear and Tricks will manage from outside.  Nosfera will start against Rush.

RUSH & TURMOIL d. HOUSE OF PAIN when Turmoil hits Nosfera with TOTAL TURMOIL – **1/2

The Gladiators kept the ring cut in half and there was no point in the match when Nosfera could make a tag.  The Aethrans advance.  HOUSE OF PAIN continues their argument after the match and Hector lays out both Tricks and Nosfera with a chair.

HECTOR:  Enough of this crap!  I am not back in control.

He there the chair down and left the ringside area.  Tricks and Nosfera crawled after him.

DARK MENACE SPELLBOUND vs. THE CLOAK

As THE CLOAK makes their way ringside, Nitro catches them and asks Magnus, who has two teams in the tournament tonight, what he will do if one of his teams goes all the way and then has to face THE IMMORTALS who are members of Future Shock.

MAGNUS:  You know me, Nitro.  I don’t play favorites.  May the best team win.  (He looks up at the luxury box where THE IMMORTALS sit.)  That being said, it would be nice to have the titles on a team that is FUTURE SHOCK loyal.

A close-up of Sur shows he is enraged at the comments and he stands and yells down at Magnus, but the audio can’t be heard.  The Dark Menace leads his team to ringside and brushes off Nitro who wanted a word.  They hit the ring and we are ready to begin!

THE CLOAK d. DARK MENACE SPELLBOUND via pinfall when Code Destroyer hits Coven Black with BREAK THE CODE – **1/2

This was a great match.  Like RUSH & TURMOIL, THE CLOAK kept the ring cut in half and didn’t let Coven Black tag out.  Like Nosfera, however, Coven Black fought tooth and nail and came close to winning several times on both members of THE CLOAK.  He may have lost the match, but it was a performance any Coven Black fan could be proud of.  THE CLOAK, however advances to ROUND TWO.

THE DESERTERS vs. FEDERATION DEFENSE FIGHTERS WATCHMEN

Magnus remains at ringside as THE DESERTERS arrive to a shower of boos from the crowd.  HelSin and PSI came out ready to bring the fight to THE DESERTERS and the match was on!

THE DESERTERS d. FEDERATION DEFENSE FIGHTERS WATCHMEN via pinfall when Tharkas hit COUNCIL OF WAR and covered HelSin – *

An absolutely dominating performance from THE DESERTERS!  This match had many thinking that, as much as they’d hate to admit it, Adam Traitor and Tharkas may be the team to beat!

It was time for the final, first round matchup!

ULTIMATE FIGHTERS vs. TITAN SAMURAI

Before the match, the two teams shook hands and TITAN SAMURAI were even convinced to do the ULTIMATE FIGHTERS crazy, arm flailing walk, before the bell.  The crowd ate it up!  It wasn’t all fun and games thought.  There was a lot on the line and these two teams came to win.

TITAN SAMURAI d. ULTIMATE FIGHTERS via submission when Kenji locks Clinch in the KIMURA and refuses to break until he taps – ****1/4

Wow!  What a match fans!  This was over the top competitive and the crowd was standing the entire time!  Both teams gave it their all and it was a huge win for TITAN SAMURAI at the end!  After the match, all for men shook hands as did Lord Nexus and She Devil.  The fans gave all four men a standing ovation.  TITAN SAMURAI advances to the semi-finals!

Time to move on to the SEMI-FINALS now and it would appear that Magnus the Magnanimous and FUTURE SHOCK are in a pretty good position.  They have two of the four remaining teams.  There will be some stiff competition though.

RUSH & TURMOIL come to the ring with the Aethran War Anthem blaring.  The Leveler joins them, of course.  They seem focused, determined and ready to win.  THE CLOAK make their way ringside with Magnus.  Splatter (II) and Code Destroyer brandish their respective weapons visibly, as if to show The Gladiators that in a TITAN DEATH RULES MATCH, anything goes.  The four men are ready to battle and it looks like Splatter (II) will start with Turmoil.

TITAN DEATH RULES
RUSH & TURMOIL vs. THE CLOAK

This is completely one sided and, since there were no tags made at all, basically a one on one match!  Turmoil just absolutely destroyed Splatter (II).  There was no offense at all.  Code Destroyer and Magnus watched in shock as Turmoil just dismantled the masked member of FUTURE SHOCK.

RUSH & TURMOIL d. THE CLOAK when Turmoil pins Splatter (II) after the Aethran Coup Cannon – SQUASH

Rush hops into the ring and the two stand over the crushed Splatter (II).  The both look up at the luxury box where IMMORTALS are, smile and then leave the ring.  Magnus, furious, shouts at Code Destroyer to help Splatter (II) to the back!  Nitro grabs a word with Magnus.

NITRO:  Tough loss there but you still have a dog in the fight.

THE DESERTERS begin making their way to the ring and stand behind Magnus as he talks.

MAGNUS:  This night will belong to FUTURE SHOCK, don’t you worry about it!  Adam Traitor and Tharkas here are THE team to beat in this tournament and we are going to prove that right now!

THE DESERTERS get into the ring and await their opponents, TITAN SAMURAI!  The Titans head ringside with Lord Nexus, whom Nitro catches for a word.

NITRO:  Your men going all the way tonight?!

LORD NEXUS:  You’d better believe it and Magnus, I gots my eye on you!  Ain’t gonna be no shenanigans!  You hear me?!  AIn’t gonna be no shenanigans!

TITAN SAMURAI get into the ring and it looks like Azuma will start against Tharkas.

TITAN SAMURAI vs. THE DESERTERS

It’s a wild match and it has the fans out of their seats!  They were solely behind the Titans and gave THE DESERTERS hell!  Lord Nexus did get involved at one point, laying out Magnus when he was trying to interfere!  In the end though, THE DESERTERS outlasted their opponents.

THE DESERTERS d. TITAN SAMURAI via pinfall when Tharkas hit Kenji with COUNCIL OF WAR – **1/2

The fans were not happy at all at this outcome!  This, of course, sets up THE DESERTERS vs. RUSH & TURMOIL in the main event!  As TITAN SAMURAI left ringside and THE DESERTERS took a breather in their corner, Commissioner Euritar came out to make an announcement about the next big SuperCard BETRAYAL.

EURITAR:  Tonight, I’m going to announce the names of the eight men who will be fighting in the BETRAYAL tournament, but I wanted to announce that there will be a special added attraction this year at BETRAYAL.  Before the final match of the evening, there will be an Open Invitation Battle Royal to determine the number one contender to the INTERPLANETARY CHAMPIONSHIP currently held by Havoc.

The CROWD loves this and cheers loudly.

EURITAR:  This battle royal is open to all wrestlers currently under a GWF contract, but we are going to cast a wider net and open it to wrestlers NOT under GWF contract as well.  Yes, we are throwing open the doors GALAXY wide.  If there is any trained, professional wrestler who would like to enter, they can contact my office to work out the details!  This should be a great one, fans!

The CROWD cheers loudly once more!

EURITAR:  I’m glad you approve.  Now though, to the matter at hand.  The eight men who will battle at BETRAYAL at a shot at the GALAXIAN CHAMPIONSHIP currently held by Shayne.  These names are not in any sort of order and these are the opening round brackets, those will be released at a later time.  But the eight men competing in BETRAYAL are…Paralyze…Harbinger…Bishop Hell (II)…Aethran Overmaster…Monolith…Endgame…Swarm and…Chaos Supreme.  These are your 2130 BETRAYAL competitors.  May the best man win!  

The CROWD loves this.  Aerator thanks the fans for their support and we are now ready for our main event.  THE DESERTERS are already ringside with Magnus the Magnanimous and they await the arrival of The Gladiators. RUSH & TURMOIL come ringside to the blaring of the Aethran War Anthem and The Leveler is in their corner. Rush will start agains Adam Traitor and the bell rings!

THE DESERTERS vs. RUSH & TURMOIL

And Rush just decimates Adam Traitor! It’s no competition at all! What Turmoil did in their last match, Rush does here and it is over.

RUSH & TURMOIL d. THE DESERTERS via pinfall when Rush hits the ADRENALINE RUSH on Adam Traitor and gets the pinfall – SQUASH

The place erupts! Are RUSH & TURMOIL actually becoming fan favorites?! It’s possible after the reaction they got for this win!

Magnus is beside himself! His mouth agape! Thoraces looks like he can’t comprehend what has just happened. Adam Traitor is lifeless in the middle of the ring! RUSH & TURMOIL could care less as they gaze, smiling up at THE IMMORTALS in the luxury box! Our GALAXIAN TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP match for BIG BANG is set! THE IMMORTALS will defend against RUSH & TURMOIL!

The fans are going nuts as we…
