CARD 2131.288 – THE RECKONING – NIGHT 3
Live from the Spica Pyramid on Virgo
Commentary: Trent Lawless
Backstage/Ringside: Nitro
THE RECKONING is reaching it’s crescendo and the galaxy cannot wait any longer! Tonight is THE night! The do or die moment for the GLADIATORS! Will Probation and Fist, who have been ruthlessly dominant since their arrival, end the evening with the titles? Or will we have new GALAXIAN TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS! Let’s not waste anymore time, let’s head to the ring!
DEMON HUNTERS stand in the ring ready to go. They have the most to prove tonight as their record this year is abysmal and it appears that Crossfire is growing frustrated wit HelSin. Their opponents, lead by Magnus the Magnanimous to the ring, OUTCASTS! As a reminder, all matches are NO DQ/NO COUTOUT! Crossfire will start with Mayhem Unleashed and the bell rings!

RANKING GAUNTLET MATCH ONE
OUTCASTS d. DEMON HUNTERS via pinfall when Mayhem Unleashed hits HelSin with Mayhem Madness – ***** – What an opener! All four men were bloodied and battered by the final bell. DEMON HUNTERS wrestled a heck of a match, but OUTCASTS get the win and move on!
OUTCASTS stand in the ring, seemingly enjoying the blood that runs down their faces as their wait for their next opponents! And things instantly get interesting as THE CLOAK head to the ring. Magnus, hands raised, takes a seat at ringside saying, “May the best team win.” This will be an all out brawl! Tricks is starting with Code Destroyer, and here we go!

RANKING GAUNTLET MATCH TWO
THE CLOAK d. OUTCASTS via pinfall when Code Destroyer clobbers Tricks with EAT CROW – * – OUTCASTS were basically done for after the last match. Their loss here is not a surprise. OUTCASTS wave off attempts from medics to check their wounds and, instead, head away from ringside.
The lights go out and the familiar glowing blue orb makes its way to the ring. When the lights return, Oracle is standing in the ring with THE TWO. Sur grabs the mic.
SUR: Magnus, prepare to see what a superior tag team can do. It is a foregone conclusion, we are winning tonight.
THE CLOAK laugh at Sur’s words. It’ll be Splatter (II) and Ghena to start! The bell rings.

THE TWO d. THE CLOAK when Sur sneaks into the ring behind the ref’s back and clobbers Splatter (II) with the Sur spinning powerslam – * – Splatter (II) and Code Destroyer double smacked Ghena with Crowbar and Arsenal, but as the ref was distracted, Sur came in to make the save and roll Ghena over onto Splatter for the win! THE TWO advances!
Lord Nexus leads TITAN SAMURAI to the ring and right before the match he grabs the mic.
LORD NEXUS: Sur, you try any of that ‘behind the ref’s back’ crap in this match, and you’ll meet my fist!
The crowd cheers huge as Sur and Giant Azuma circle in the ring.

TITAN SAMURAI d. THE TWO when Kenji makes Sur tap out to the ANKLE LOCK – ** – This one was fast and furious! Lots of quick tags between the Titans! Kenji is able to make Sur tap and TITAN SAMURAI get the win and advance!
Sur is NOT happy at all and is berating Ghena (who made two failed pin save attempts)! Oracle mindlessly follows behind.
TITAN SAMURAI await their opponents and it’s ANIMEN REVENGE! Panther Warrior and his partner make their way to the ring. Panther Warrior’s partner looks a little out of it. Nitro stops them in the aisle.
NITRO: Is he okay?
PANTHER WARRIOR: Yeah, he’s great. We just found out right before heading out here that there was a website hack of a popular website and his email and info was exposed to the public.
NITRO: What website?
PANTHER WARRIOR: That’s his business. He’ll clear it up. But it doesn’t matter, we are ready to go all the way and defeat the GLADIATORS tonight!
ANIMEN REVENGE continue to the ring and it’s be Kenji and Panther Warrior’s partner to start! All four men shake hands to start.

RANKING GAUNTLET MATCH FIVE
TITAN SAMURAI d. ANIMEN REVENGE via submission when Kenji locks the ANKLE LOCK on Panther Warrior’s Partner – *1/2 – Apparently, Panther Warrior’s partner was a bit more distracted than everyone previously thought.
NITRO: Wow! You really seemed distracted. What’s going on?
PANTHER WARRIOR’S PARTNER: Someone took me home, set me on glass, pulled off my wings and laughed. And I’m going to kill them for it.
Panther Warrior’s partner stomps away.
NITRO: What does that mean?
Panther Warrior shrugs and follows his partner out.
Nitro vows to dig a little deeper into this hacking story. TITAN SAMURAI advance!
The TITANS stand in the ring, conferring with Lord Nexus and awaiting their opponents. Dark Menace appears with BACK IN BLACK and they head to the ring.
NITRO: What are your chances tonight?
DARK MENACE: My chances, you idiot? There’s not chances, there’s only consciousness. And there’s no coming to consciousness without pain. If you read book now and then, you’d know that.

TITAN SAMURAI d. BACK IN BLACK via submission when Kenji locks UltraMantis Black in the KNEE BAR, causing him to tap – ****1/2 – An amazing battle between these two teams! SO many near falls. In the end, TITAN SAMURAI takes it and advances!
The TITANS are looking a little worn out after that last match. They’ll need to be on the top of their game though because here comes THE DESERTERS! Magnus has a smile on his face as if to say, “Easy picken’s!”

Officials have to take THE DESERTERS from ringside they are so upset at the flash loss! TITAN SAMURAI advance!
The TITANS stand tall in the ring, waiting on their opponents! And here they are, doing their crazy arm waving thing, THE ULTIMATE FIGHTERS! They don’t look their usual jovial selves, but that may be because of She Devil’s joining WIGGY’S WOMEN! Still, they climb into the ring and shake hands with the Titans. This is the final match before the title match! One of these two teams will face the GLADIATORS for the titles!

The GLADIATORS are here! They don’t even let ULTIMATE FIGHTERS clear the ring! They rush to the ring with THE LEVELER and call for the bell! Not giving TITAN SAMURAI a moment to rest! Fist will start against Giant Azuma! The crowd is going nuts!
