Johnny Rocket reporting from the Luna Auditorium here on Earth, in the aftermath of the GWF's Wrestle War PPV spectacular. Be sure to catch the encore presentation because it's worth seeing again.
I'll just start with a rundown of the matches, there are too many highlights to pick just one.
Blacklash kicked things off with what would be the first of two matches for him on the night. He defended the GWF Cruiserweight title against Archon. Blacklash has stunned wrestlers and fans alike in the recent months by holding so many different belts. He's the GWF and CPC Cruiserweight champ, been the steel cage title holder, CPC tag champ and I-S champ, as well as the TV champ.
Archon has been hot recently as well with wins over Sleeze, Bishop Hell and Prodigy to be named No. 1 contender, and made the most of his title shot. With a variety of submission moves, Archon won the GWF Cruiserweight title in what would be termed a mild upset.
From there, the newest defector to the CPC, Colossus took on the former GWF heavyweight champion Wraith. Colossus proved to be too much for Wraith, winning without much trouble.
Dementia tried to defend the GWF Woman's strap against Rhea. Rhea's power took her to the gold.
The Stormtroopers double-teamed the Jack of Diamonds right from the start of the match. The Defender of the Realm never made it in the ring and Cassandra's team got the win.
In an elimination match, Kati, Dagger Mack and Homicide put the six-man tag belt up against the Assassin team of Enigma, Lycosa and Manslaughter. Kati finished off Enigma with a backbreaker, but a Manslaughter powerbomb beat him. Homicide beat Manslaughter with the DOA, and Mack's Backstab put away Lycosa for the win.
Velar faced Amazonia with the CPC Woman's title on the line. Amazonia quickly won the match and the belt, but Terminus ran in and the couple put a hurting on Amazonia before Wolf could run them out. Amazonia gets the belt, but will be out for the next four events.
Titan Fury took on their nemesis, the Ninja Assassins, for the I-P tag titles. Rising Sun in a flurry of moves beat Daeman seconds into the match, bringing the gold back to the Titans.
Tempers were heating up backstage, and the Centaurians took on Blazing Skull and Anarchy. It didn't take long for the Skull to flame all over Blade, resulting in an injury and D.Q.
Vyper and Splatter took on the Mercenaries. In the end, it was Vyper pinning Soldier.
Blacklash came back out to defend the GWF TV title against Vendetta. The bigger man overwhelmed Blacklash, and the Big Fall brought the Colonizer the TV belt.
Mandrill tried to hold onto the I-P title against Heracles. The Olympian would have nothing of it, taking back his belt in no time.
Pulsar and Bishop Hell squared off once again, in a Titan Death Match. Pulsar got the quick win with his Acid Rain.
X-Termination defended the GWF tag titles against the Theatre of Pain. In one of the best tag matches of the year, the Assassin team came away with the belts in a hard fought match, after landing the finisher on Sleeze.
The next event was a Singapore Caning match between Dark Justice and the Draconian Sheik. This one was over quick once DJ got his hands on the cane, then nailed the Sheik with his finisher.
Wolf was geared up for his Mexican Death match with Terminus, having fuel thrown on the fire after the attack on Amazonia. The weapon put in the box on top of the pole was a steel chain (+1). Wolf got to it first and battered Terminus unmercifully. The Savage Claw won the match.
Up next was a monster 10-man tag team elimination match, pitting the Gladiators (Thunder, Overkill, Malice, Vengeance and Spike) against the CPC (Matador, Janus, Mayhem, Desolation Factor). The Gladiators showed their dominance completely.
The Matador bore the brunt of all five Gladiators offense to start the match. After all 10 men get into a brawl, Thunder pins the Matador with the Tempest.
Janus proves uneffective and tags Mayhem. He is pummeled and brings Rack in. Rack kicks out of the Decapitator and finally tags Ruin. Ruin gets some offense going and tags Janus, who is able to pin Vengeance to even the match.
The match settled down and went back-and-forth with each team making several tags. Ruin ends up being D.Q.ed out on the floor. Thunder then powerbombs Rack, giving the Gladiators a 4 on 2 advantage.
Janus comes in and gets a big pin for the CPC on Thunder. Mayhem misses a deathjump, and Overkill beats him with the Turnbuckle Trap. That left Janus alone against Spike, Malice and Overkill. Malice lands his finisher on Janus to win the match for the Gladiators.
Paragon defended the CPC title against Pegasus with Scourge as the referee. Paragon took charge early, but Pegasus landed his finisher one time and scored the pin the win the CPC strap. The match was over in a matter of minutes.
Chaos then defended the GWF title in a steel cage against Buck Steele, with Buck's GWF cage title also at stake. Buck withstood the Bow of Defeat several times, but couldn't trigger the change to Genocide. Chaos won the match in short order, unifying once again the GWF and steel cage titles.
