Friday Night Fire: Feel the Heat!
Ceres, Asteroid Belt March 2092 (card #371)

[Opening credits roll, and the pyrotechnics set off, as another television programming of UCW’s Friday Night Fire kicks off. Marching down the aisle is the controversial newcomer, Chaos, along with his henchmen, Rogue and Scourge.]

Chaos takes the liberty of giving the opening rant, as he expresses his superiority, and gives his message of “ultimate dominance” over the UCW. He rants about the UCW promotion, and its champion Star Warrior, and insists that the entire promotion will bow to his power, which draws Thantos out to answer him...

Thantos: ...you steal my line in your phony message of superiority. I revere no one but myself, the greatest athlete of all!
Chaos: I already forced you to succumb to my power only a few nights ago. Take a seat!
[Thantos begins to lose his composure, but stays calm].
Thantos: You who dare to question my authority, prepare to meet the consequences... tonight!
Chaos: Yeah, I suppose I could use the warm-up, but so could the Matador!

[Thantos turns to see Matador of M83 attack him from behind the curtain. The four of them punk the Evil Gamemaster until Star Warrior pops out of no where and hits the Matador with the Tomohawk Thrust, chasing Chaos and company away.]

Lightyear: ...wasn’t that unusual? Well, folks, I guess we have a match tonight between Chaos and Thantos then!
Morpheus: I don’t like the odds of this one, Thantos is my boy, but Chaos is as he says... Power Incarnate!

Powerhouse vs. Prison Camp.
In the leadoff match of the evening, Powerhouse compete against another powerful team of Tongsoon and Tendron, as Massif has little trouble facing both Cygnusians. However, he then tags in Earthquake, who throws away the advantage and almost loses the match. The Prison Camp isolate the weaker link of the former tag team champs, and Tendron nearly achieves the submission victory with THE SMOTHERING, but Earthquake manages to use his last ounce of energy to fight back and reach his corner, where he tags in the bigger man. Massif comes in to clean house, which he does with little problem, planting two huge headbutts to both Tendron and Tongsoon, and Doomsayer is understandably nervous...

Lightyear: ...and Massif is easily able to handle Tongsoon and Tendron!
Morpheus: Can anyone stop that freak of nature?
Lightyear: Massif has Tendron by the tentacles... Morpheus: No fair! That’s a blatant infringement of the wrestling rulebook!
Lightyear: Massif scoops him up for... the Massif Power Slam!
Morpheus: The whole ring just bounced an inch off the ground!
Lightyear: Can this be what I think it is? It is! The VOLCANIC DROP! ...1...2...3! Powerhouse wins!
Morpheus: And what the hell did Earthquake contribute in this match?

[As Powerhouse celebrates their victory, the Royal Creeps “creep” over the guardrail and attack Powerhouse from behind. Mad Jester clobbers Earthquake in the back of the head with his “doll on a stick,” as Killer Queen throws powder into Massif’s eyes.]

Morpheus: Now we’re talking! Business is picking up, as Powerhouse gets punked by a couple of “royal midgets!”
Lightyear: Unbelievable! The Royal Creeps, who will be facing Powerhouse next week at Knights of the Squared Circle, have ambushed their opponents before their matchup!
Morpheus: And I’m loving every minute of it!
Lightyear: But wait, Massif is losing his ire! Massif fights back, and has Killer Queen compressed in a grinding bear hug!
Morpheus: He just threw him off like a rag doll!
Lightyear: Raggedy Ann, you might say.
Morpheus: Aren’t you the jokester?
Lightyear: Massif grabs the Jester by the throat, and look! He’s got the mountain rope! He’s tying Mad Jester to the steel ringpost!
Morpheus: This is a travesty of justice!
Lightyear: Double Avalanche by Earthquake and Massif on a helpless Mad Jester!

[Killer Queen saves his disoriented partner, as they retreat to the lockeroom. Before the leave, Killer Queen turns back and mutters that he is the “giant killer” and claims that he will fell both redwoods come Knights of the Squared Circle (KOTSC).]

Mesmer vs. Bishop Hell
This matchup proves to be a very quick and high paced contest. The action goes back and forth for a bit, as neither man can sustain the advantage. However, it is proven early on that one mistake can be vital for the outcome of the match...

Lightyear: ...and Mesmer nails Bishop Hell with the clothesline!
Morpheus: Come on, your eminence, do something!
Lightyear: Mesmer reaches for a sleeperhold... and Bishop Hell throws him off into the ropes!
Morpheus: Beautiful move!
Lightyear: Mesmer rebounds off the other side, and FLYING CROSS! Bishop Hell nails him with a FLYING CROSS! ...1...2...3! Bishop Hell gets it!

[As the announcer announces Bishop Hell as the winner, the Bishop charges up a powerful HELLFIRE for the loser of this contest. However, at the last moment, Justice runs down from the lockeroom and shoves Mesmer out of the way, taking the full force of the HELLFIRE himself. Bishop Hell is at first vivid at Justice for foiling his plans, but then when he recognizes the victim of the flame, he shrugs it off.]

Bishop Hell: Ha! Might as well have been you, Toris! And there’s plenty more of where that came from, which you’ll have the pleasure of experiencing this weekend at our big matchup!

Gladiator hour backstage, as an attempt is made to interview the Gladiators, accompanied by fellow stablemates Spike and Mayhem. It has already been announced that the winner of tonight’s tag team title matchup will face the number one contenders for the tag team titles, the Beasts of Burden (Incredible Badger and Iron Mane) at KOTSC. The Gladiators spend little time talking about the Greek Gods, and focus more on the Beasts of Burden, while Mayhem ends the segment with a few words for Wolf...

Mayhem: ...Wolf, you savage freak! Well, I guess we do have one thing in common! You complain about how Spike double crossed you a couple of weeks ago, when you seem to forget that you’re the biggest turncoat bastard out there! I’m gonna show you a thing or two about Aethran authority when we get it on later tonight!

Comrade Terror vs. Battering Ram.
Two quickly rising athletes battle it out in this match here, as they engage in a high-impact battle against each other. Both men match move for move as the heaviest artillery is not enough to keep the other man down. Comrade Terror hits the ATOMIC WARHEAD, but Battering Ram manages to roll out under the bottom rope to gain a breather before Terror can cover him...

Morpheus: ...come on, Terror, go for the kill!
Lightyear: And what’s this? The Gladiators are attacking Battering Ram! Brute and Massacre are visciously beating on the AniMan from Andromeda! This match will be thrown out!
Morpheus: Aww, come on, it’s just a little nick, the ref should allow the match to continue...
Lightyear: And here come the Beasts of Burden to help their comrade out! The Gladiators retreat before Incredible Badger and Iron Mane can arrive on the scene!

Star Warrior marches down to the center of the ring and assumes the microphone. He speaks of the growing danger of Chaos and the Third Force, and insists that it must be stopped. He calls out Thantos, and acknowledges the problems that have brewed in between them, but also points out that Thantos has his hands full with Chaos and the Matador, as well as their two other stooges. Star Warrior requests to join Thantos’ corner in a tag team matchup against Chaos and the Matador. Star Warrior extends a hand, and after much reluctance, Thantos shakes it-- without attacking Star Warrior afterwards. Afterwards, Thantos takes the mic...

Thantos: ...but this doesn’t mean that the problems between me and you are over! I’m only doing this for me, I couldn’t give a shit if you got your ass kicked all over the arena by those other two. You’d better watch your own back, because I’m only going to be watching mine!
Morpheus: The hell is this? I’m going to have to talk to Thantos. I don’t want him teaming with some jabronie son of Omega!
Lightyear: Calm down, Morpheus! He’s only doing it to defeat Chaos!

Exo-King vs. Galactic Punisher
The two tall athletes duke it out neck to neck here, as they put on another high impact show of skill. Exo-King tries to match agility with the lethal Punisher, but fails, as the Galactic Punisher nails a swift kick to the side of the King’s head to knock him down to the mat. Some competitive action, however, both men appear to be going for the quick win...

Lightyear: ...neither man holding back tonight, as they both obviously want to be going home early tonight!
Morpheus: But Galactic Punisher looks to be on top. Oh no, don’t tell me what I think this is looking like... Lightyear: THE VERDICT!
Morpheus: Damnit Lightyear!
Lightyear: And the referee gets himself in position to make the count ...1...2...3! The Galactic Punisher wins!

Cut to a promo of KOTSC 92. Folks, this event is well worth your money!

A note comes out of Commissioner Carter’s office to announce that Chaos and Matador of M83 have accepted the added stipulation from Star Warrior and Thantos in that it will indeed be a tag team match in the main event.

Pulsar Prime vs. Death Masque w/ Darkos
The real tension brewing here is between Pulsar Prime and Death Masque’s manager Darkos, who has been interfering in several of Prime’s recent matches. Pulsar Prime asserts authority over Death Masque early on, but the distraction of Darkos is able to tip the advantage to the former Death Knight several times as Pulsar Prime’s frustration deepens. As Pulsar Prime mounts the top rope for a leap, Darkos manages to shake the ropes enough to catch Prime’s attention. Pulsar exchanges words with Darkos while standing on the outside of the apron...

Morpheus: ...that Pulsar should be focusing on his opponent!
Lightyear: And Death Masque loads up for the MELTDOWN, knocking Pulsar Prime to the floor!
Morpheus: Told you so!
Lightyear: And what’s this? The ref is trying to hold Death Masque back, and Darkos is laying the boots to Pulsar Prime!
Morpheus: I love it!
Lightyear: Darkos gives Pulsar Prime a piledriver!
Morpheus: Don’t bother counting, ref, he’s done!
Lightyear: And the count begins ...1...2...3...4...5...6...7...8...9...10! This will go down as a countout victory to Death Masque, as Pulsar Prime struggles to get inside of the ring!
Morpheus: What’s the Titan geek doing now? He’s got a mic.
Pulsar Prime: Darkos! you dirty bastard! You think you can lay your hands on me like that in all of my matches, why don’t you get your ass in the ring with me officially one-on-one this next weekend at KNIGHTS OF THE SQUARED CIRCLE!?
Darkos: You challenging me? Well I’d be honored to get it on with you, my young lad, so we’ll make it a date for KNIGHTS OF THE SQUARED CIRCLE!
Lightyear: There you have it! Another match added for the card next weekend, it’s Pulsar Prime versus Darkos!

Backstage, Omega is seen in the lockeroom asking Star Warrior if he really thinks it is a wise choice to be teaming with Thantos tonight. With a look of confidence, Star Warrior replies in the affirmative...

Star Warrior: ...I know what I have to do to bring the family honor, father. And if that includes joining forces with the one who betrayed you, I’m willing to do that as long as we can put an end to Chaos and his Third Force!

Mayhem vs. Wolf [Titan Death Match]
This one goes out of hand as is generally expected from these two individuals. Wolf wastes no time getting his early licks in on Mayhem, and the Gladiator is likewise waiting for him to do so. These two throw fists left and right, as they care more about hurting their opponent than they do about protecting themselves. The match does go out to the floor several times, though the two are in mutual agreement to keep this one inside of the ring for once. However, when Mayhem ducks out of the way of Wolf’s skullcrusher, Wolf goes flying out to the floor, and the two go brawling toward the back...

Morpheus: ...where do these two think they’re going?
Lightyear: Mayhem and Wolf are brawling on the ramp... what’s this? Spike comes out of nowhere and clobbers Wolf with a lead pipe! Wolf is shaken up!
Morpheus: Serves that savage bastard right!
Lightyear: Spike retreats before the referee ever sees him, and Mayhem has got Wolf hoisted on top of his shoulders. He’s running for the steel ringpost... DANGER ZONE! Mayhem rolls Wolf back inside and goes for the cover ...1...2...3! A travesty of justice!
Morpheus: ...and I’m loving it!

[It takes a minute for Wolf to gain consciousness, but when he does, he grows irate, and rushes out of the ring in search for Spike.]

In the Third Force lockeroom, Matador of M83 is invited to join Chaos in conferencing about the upcoming main event tag team match between Chaos and the Matador and the team of Star Warrior and Thantos.
The Ultimate Gladiators (t) w/ the Guardsman vs. The Greek Gods
These two tag teams pick up right where their rivalry left off, as Proteus and Actagon have their minds set on dethroning the Gladiators finally, while the Gladiators have their minds on decapitating the Greek Gods. The Greek Gods give the Gladiators as tough of competition as they’ve seen in weeks, as they take complete control of both Brute and Massacre, and manage to get Massacre isolated in their corner. Actagon works the GRECIAN SLEEPER GRIP several times, and as Massacre fades, the Gladiators title reign looks bleak, but somehow or another, Massacre manages to reach his corner...

Lightyear: ...and here comes the Brute with a Runaway Cannon!
Morpheus: Go Gladiators!
Lightyear: You sound enthusiastic there... anyway, Proteus comes in and attacks the big man, but Brute just shrugs him off!
Morpheus: There’s that Aethran dominance we always here them talking about!
Lightyear: Massacre comes in and hits the CLEANSING on Massacre! ...1...2...
Morpheus: And Actagon lucks out by kicking out of that one!
Lightyear: Brute holds Actagon in a bear hug... Massacre rebounds off the far side of the ropes...
Morpheus: DECAPITATOR! And what a beauty! Executed on the edge of the ropes, as Actagon goes out and hits his head on the floor! He’s not getting back up from that one!
Lightyear: The referee lays the count: ...1...2...3...4...5...6...7...8...9...10! The Gladiators successfully defend their titles!
Morpheus: And you’re surprised?

Star Warrior / Thantos vs. Chaos / Matador of M83
Chaos and the Matador enter together with Chaos’ croonies, Rogue and Scourge, who are immediately sent back to the lockeroom to watch on the television monitors. However, Star Warrior and Thantos come out separately, as Thantos refuses to walk with Star Warrior, or even enter the ring upon Star Warrior’s invitation. Star Warrior begins the match with the Matador, as the two high-paced athletes shift the ring back and forth with the energy they exert early on. Thantos reluctantly allows himself to be tagged in, as he goes to work on Matador as well, but his stubborness in not cooperating with Star Warrior allows Matador to tag out to Chaos. Chaos steps in, and Thantos gets the upper hand until he succumbs to the force of the Alpha Stone. Thantos then struggles until Chaos makes a mistake, allowing the Evil Gamemaster to capitalize on the opening. Thantos nails Chaos with a Satanic Skull Smasher before tagging back out to Star Warrior as the crowd fully erupts by now. Star Warrior strikes both Chaos and the incoming Matador with the Tomohawk Thrust, and prepares a Running Star Blast for Chaos. Star Warrior stays on fire until Thantos asks to be allowed back in. Star Warrior consents, and Thantos is going right back to work on Chaos once again. Star Warrior and Thantos appear to be working together at this point, but then Chaos reasserts himself and grabs the BOW OF DEFEAT on Thantos. Thantos resists, breaking out and going for a double knee lift of his own...

Lightyear: ...and Thantos is taking it to Chaos!
Morpheus: That’s my boy you’re talking about right there!
Lightyear: Thantos to the far side, and...
Morpheus: WHERE’S THE REF?! That freakin’ Matador just tripped Thantos’ foot!
Lightyear: Thantos gets up and turns around to face Matador’s BULLWHIP!
Morpheus: What business does Matador have in there? He wasn’t tagged in!
Lightyear: Chaos grabs the BOW OF DEFEAT!
Morpheus: Get your ass in there, Star Warrior, save your partner!
Lightyear: And the ref calls for the bell! Thantos submitted!
Morpheus: NOOOOO!

[Matador continues to give Thantos the boots, as Star Warrior finally interferes and breaks it up with the match being over. Matador stands by Chaos, who laughs at Thantos’ misfortune as Rogue and Scourge meet them down by the ring. The Third Force exits en masse, as Star Warrior tends to Thantos. ]

[When Thantos is able to get on his feet, he vividly scolds Star Warrior for not helping him when he was in trouble, and gives Star Warrior a kick to the gut and a piledriver to part with his former best friend.]
