1) In a Cruiserweight Title match, Grand Manga successfully defended against Death Star Boy.

2) In the first SotF match, Wall Street and Dark Invader, with Lyndi Harker, defeated Barbaric Nature and Cutthroat Carter. Yuppie VP and Dark Invader survived. Harker left ringside with Tycoon when he was eliminated. Yuppie and Invader seemed quite fine without her at ringside.

3) The All-Pros are out. Blitz says they are they the best of the best in the two professional sports that matter. Johnson says that he doesn’t hold anything against other athletes from other sports, especially tennis, but he knows what he knows based on years of watching. Tennis Pro, on the other hand, is about as athletic as a drunk jackass. He’s a disgrace to all who play sports at a high level, including tennis. They mock him for the 3-way he won because the other two guys didn’t want to be bothered with him. They mock him for having to buy tag partners, and, in the case of Buckingham, for how his partners leave because they can’t stand him.

4) Jet Set Strutter, Enormous Pierre, and Roboelectro 2000 over Ace of Spades, Iron Mask, and Skullgore in an SotF match. Pierre is the sole survivor. Robo and JSS come back out to celebrate with Pierre, but he basically ignores them and only interacts with the fans.

5) Arizona Chance is out. He says there are a lot of stories and rumors circulating about the locker room, and some of these have leaked to the wrestling press. He encourages fans not to worry about WoW’s future in relation to the BASILISK threat. He admits that dark things are moving, but WoW is ready. He’s met with Al several times, and defenses are already in place, both in the boardroom and in the ring. He assures the fans than when all is said and done, WoW will stand tall.

6) In a Steel-Cage SotF match, The Think Tank defeat The Van Winkles. Exotic Rick is your sole survivor. As a result of the loss, Franz does not get time in the cage with Thinker. Rick announces that he will be challenging Average Guy in December for the title. Also, he’s heard he’s in the running for Wrestler of the Year. He deserves to end 1984 with both of those accolades. One is in his hands when he beats Guy. The only way he doesn’t win the other is if the voting body is on the take for Guy. “I’ve made 1984 exotic, and I deserve the recognition. Nobody wants 1984 to be considered “average”, do we ladies?”

7) In a WoW title match, Average Guy defeats Ninja Shadow with Countess.

1) The Valedictorian over The Shark.

2) In what many consider an upset, 8-Bit defeats the Gladiators when Max hit Massacre with the Double Uppercut. Max got on the mic. He said the Gladiators are on their second run in WoW, and their results don’t match their words. “They talk about how they’re going to run roughshod through the promotion, but they don’t follow through. Yes, they win here and there. They handled the Muscle Mem without much effort, but with all their bluster, you’d think they would’ve won a title by now. Brute, Massacre, put up or short up. “

3) Countess, Iron Mask, and Gorgon are out. Countess mocks reports that Al and the WoW office have been able to do anything to stem the tide of BASILISK. “We’ve said it all before, and backed it up. You can’t do anything about us. Within the next month, WoW and BASILISL will be synonymous.”

4) At this point, Al comes out with Arizona Chance, Average Guy, and Mighty Leo. He tells Countess to slow down a little, and recommends she call the Supreme Whatever back at HQ as a lot has happened in the last few hours. He isn’t going into detail now, but he does have one word for Countess…Kathreftis. Upon hearing this, Countess grew pale and quickly exited, leaving her confused charges behind. Al encouraged them to go comfort their master. “She’s going to need it.” Everyone leaves but Guy. Al says he wants to talk about something more pleasant, the 1984 End of the Year Awards. Al says that he’s been informally polling those who have votes, and the vote for Wrestler of the Year is running neck and neck between Guy and Exotic Rick. Next week, Guy will defend the title against Rick. Not only will the title be on the line, but the winner will automatically be awarded the 1984 Wrestler of the Year award

5) Zeke Mullet over GoblinKnight.

6) Roboelectro 2000 over The Annihilator.

7) Skullgore over War Hawk, with Danger Zone. Before the match, the Heroes asked Skullgore what was wrong with Countess. “We’ve never seen her so rattled. Was it something Al said?” Skullgore told them that nothing could upset Countess. “She was taken ill suddenly.” During the match, Iron Mask attacked Danger Zone at ringside. This distraction allowed Skullgore to blindside Hawk for a winning pinfall.

8) In a non-title match, Madame Tiki defeated Auntie Voodoo. Tiki also asked about the condition of the Countess, saying “Al really seemed to upset her.” Voodoo ignored her comments. Gorgon attacked Tiki after the match, and Gothica made the save.

9) In a three-way match to determine the next challenger for The Flawless One’s TV title, The Mad Arab defeated Buzzsaw and Ninja Shadow. The Arab played an active part in this match, unlike Tennis Pro in the prior three-way involving Buzzsaw and Ninja. Tennis Pro came out at the end and approached the announcers desk. He complained about why he wasn’t given a top contender’s spot for winning his match. The All-Pros came out and reminded him that he won because the other two participants didn’t find him important enough to bother fighting with. Pro threw a tantrum and said that he was this close to finding the perfect partner and taking out both the Fake-Pros in the same match.

1) Countess and Auntie Voodoo over Spunky Sparks and Valley Girl. Countess says everyone is asking her what happened last week. “I’m not aware of anything happening last week. Al was bloviating in his usual fashion and I got bored. I didn’t get ill, as I’m above human mundanities as illness. Skullgore needs to consult with me going forward before speaking of matter of which he knows nothing. That is the extent of my actions last week, period.”

2) Juan Tijuana over Johnny Kobra and Chief Buffalo in a three-way match. Tijuana pinned stole a pin set up by Kobra after Cesar Sleaze came out and distracted Buffalo. The Chief went after Sleaze while the Bullies tried to attack Tijuana, but he escaped.

3) Next up is the handicap match pitting The Insectoids against Bug Buster. Crash came out with BB. The ref had a satchel containing $10,000, with each competitor or team having brought $5,000. The satchel was hung on a pole, but has nothing to do with the match itself. This is just to keep it visible. Whoever wins the match gets the satchel of cash. Bug Buster has to pin both Bugg Brothers to win. He does just that, and wins the match. As BB recovers after the match, Crash climbs up and grabs the satchel. He helps BB to his feet, and raises his arms. Crash gets the satchel again. BB reaches for it, but Crash doesn’t offer it. BB assumes he’s ribbing him, and gives Crash a light, playful shove. Crash clobbers BB with the satchel of cash, stunning him. He gives BB a couple of stomps, and then goes to ringside where the exterminator backpack is kept during the match. Crash grabs the backpack and, without hesitation, smashes into splinters against the ring post. Buster crawls after him, asking “why?”. Two more stomps, and Crash leaves with the satchel.

4) Slammer Johnson over Brit Buckingham.

5) We cut to footage from a WoW appearance on everybody’s favorite late-night talk show. The guests are the Blade Blasters. They are in face paint, but Buzzsaw is in his new look. Lazer’s leg is in a brace. The hosts ask about recovery and rehab, and Lazer says it’s going well. He expects to be back in action in about 8 weeks. He’s excited about getting the Blade Blasters back together. The host makes a joke about Buzzsaw having to go back to his old face paint, and Buzzsaw gives a small chuckle. The host asks Lazer on his thoughts about this BASILISK takeover, and how it will affect the Blasters. He says that they’ve faced BASILISK before, and aren’t afraid to again. Ultimately, he doesn’t see them taking a direct role in opposing the takeover as they tend to do their own thing. Obviously, they have WoW’s back, but they don’t consider themselves part of the vanguard. Buzzsaw doesn’t respond. The host comments that Buzzsaw has been uncharacteristically quiet this evening, and he responds that he has a lot on his mind. Lazer looks a bit confused as we fade.

6) Howl n’ Roar versus Ace of Spades and Ninja Shadow ends in a Double-Disqualification when the fight spills out into the crowd.

7) Wall Street are out with Lyndi Harker. Tycoon shows off Harker in her expensive ensemble. Yuppie looks perturbed. Tycoon talks about how it took 4 years for Wall Street to be recognized as the best tag team in WoW. He says “the fault lies with everybody else, not with us. We’ve always been the best, but the ignorant, unwashed masses were too stupid to recognize that fact. For the record, I am including this very promotion’s own office in that “ignorant” comment. It was jealousy. I have everything, and they have nothing, and it eats them up. Tell them about it-Ms. Harker. Yuppie VP was about to speak, but stopped when Tycoon called on Harker. She said that being a have is infinitely better than a have-not. She showed off her jewelry and clothing like a model on the catwalk. Tycoon leered and Yuppie looked bored. Yuppie tried to speak again, but was cut off when Harker stepped right in front of him to offer Al some cash. “Al, you look sad. Here, money can indeed buy happiness. And loyalty. Take it.” Al walked off.

8) In a match for the WoW title and the honor of being the 1984 Wrestler of the Year, Average Guy defeated Exotic Rick with The Thinker.

As soon as Crash arrives, Al is ready for him. He asks Crash about his actions last week. He offers a sarcastic “No Comment.”

1) The Honor Society over The Muscle Men.

2) Next up is a Cruiserweight Battle Royal for a future title shot. The participants are:

Chameleon Kid/Crash/Danger Zone/Jessie Wild/Zen/War Hawk/The Shark/Ninja Shadow/Pop King/Eventual Winner…Devin Van Winkle.
3) Mother Russia over Mynx and Chaka Crass in a three-way match. The winner of this match gets the 8th spot in the Tournament of Queens.
4) A commercial for the next P4V airs. It’s the annual Tournament of Queens. In the main event, Average Guy will defend against Skullgore on the eve of BASILISK’S threatened takeover. In the ToQ itself, the first-round matches are Lyndi Harker vs. Elfette, Aurora vs. Valley Girl, Mother Russia versus Spunky Sparks, and Madame Tiki versus The Queen of Mean. Gothica, The Queen, and Elfette offer words on why they will win, although Elfette goes out of her way to praise her opponent and any future opponent. Countess says that Voodoo will retain against whoever win the tournament. There are no BASILISK ladies entered as they will be busy helping complete the Takeover that evening.

5) Coming back from the ad, Al is with the big three of Arizona Chance, Average Guy, and Mighty Leo plus Jet Set Strutter and Madame Tiki. Tiki says she winning the ToQ and getting her title back. Guy says that Skullgore will go down in defeat as will BASILISK’s entire operation. Strutter says that his business with The Think Tank isn’t done, and he’s prepared to fight a two-front war if needed. Chance speaks up and says that if his intel is true, JSS can keep his focus on the Think Tank, and he will still be helping the cause. Al says that next week, after the ToQ, everyone will find out, in detail, where the future is headed for WoW and BASILISK.

6) The All-Pros defeat Tennis Pro and his partner, Chief Buffalo. From the onset, it’s easy to see that the Chief has no real loyalty to the Pro. Like Buckingham before, Buffalo walks out on Pro before the match is done. Pro is heard to comment that “he has to stop paying these guys all up front.”

7) Drool over Vladimir the Cruel.

8) El Presidente is backstage. Zeke Mullet walks up and kicks him in the groin. Mullet walks off without a word.

9) Grand Manga retains the Cruiserweight Championship against Death Star Boy with Dark Invader. When DI threatens the much smaller Manga post-match, Jessie Wild, The Shark, and Devin Van Winkle help him. Manga is wary of Van Winkle, but accepts the offered handshake.

1984 WoW Year-Awards Presentation 12/22/84
Prince Charlie Hall

After last year’s debacle, the place was crawling with security. Al references that what happened in Chicago will never happen again. Speaking of Chicago, after a one-year ban, WoW has been reinstated. The first show of 1985 will be in the Chitown Complex.
The Nominees for the fan-voted “Most Hated” category are
Ace of Spades
Mr. Tycoon
Lyndi Harker
Skullgore
Countess

The “Most Hated” wrestler for 1984 is Ace of Spades. His acceptance speech is him thanking BASILISK for setting him on the right path. Al has to interrupt and tell the crowd that rudeness, even if deserved, is not tolerated.

Next up is the fan-voted “Most Popular” Category. The nominees are

Madame Tiki
Arizona Chance
Jet Set Strutter
Average Guy
Mighty Leo

The “Most Popular” wrestler for 1984 is, for the second time, Average Guy.

We come to Tag Team of the Year. The nominees are:
The Blade Blasters
Wall Street
Barbaric Nature
Howl n’ Roar

There were only four nominees this year as the committee felt these were the only teams deserving. 1984’s Tag Team of the Year is Wall Street. Only the Blasters and Wall Street received votes. Tycoon went to the podium with Harker. Harker thanked everyone for her Most Hated nomination. She carried her plaque for 1983 Wrestler of the Year with her onstage. She said she was due an acceptance speech for that award since she didn’t get to give one last year. After Al cuts her off, she smashes the plaque, saying the awards not worth anything if the awarding body is as incompetent as WoW, Tycoon enjoys watching her rant. He then says he needs to thank everyone who voted for Wall Street even if it took greasing some palms to get people to recognize true greatness. Al interrupts again and says that statements impugning the integrity of the Award system in WoW will not be tolerated. He says Tycoon is done. He asks Tycoon why Yuppie, still sitting in the crowd, didn’t come up onstage. Tycoon says, “you said I was done, and now you want to ask questions? Make up your mind, Al.”

We come to Wrestler of the Year. There are two nominees:
Exotic Rick
Average Guy

Due to the outcome of last week’s match, we know Guy is the winner of the award. Guy says that Thinker’s men boycotted due to Rick not winning the award. He says that if it will keep Rick from pouting, he can have the plaque. The award itself isn’t this piece of wood and metal, but the idea that people thought you were the most productive wrestler in WoW for 1984. He admits Rick has a claim to the award, and will be a WoW title contender for years to come.

We open with pre-recorded footage of Al addressing the company, sans BASILISK members, several hours before the show. He tells them not to worry, they are secure for the time being, specifically, at least one year. Depending on how WoW answers the call, one year from right now could mean a different story. He then says that there have been rumors swirling that there are wrestlers he’s addressing right now that have BASILISK allegiance in secret. If that’s how it goes, so be it. “You might want to know that you are hitching your wagon to the wrong team. BASILISK are thugs, murderers, and terrorists. Is that really what you want?” There’s a pause, and then Thinker speaks up, “Lies. All lies. Countess assured me that none of what the government says is true, and you are just parroting their line.” He approaches Al. BASILISK is an organization of scientists, philosophers, and futurists trying to change the world for the better. The Think Tank stands with them. Let’s join our real allies, team.” The Flawless One and Exotic Rick follow him. Valedictorian drags behind. TFO tells Val to come on. He does with great hesitation. Al says they will finish this conversation at the end of the tonight’s show.

1) Aurora over Valley Girl in a first-round match.

2) Elfette over Lyndi Harker.

3) Mother Russia over Spunky Sparks.

4) Madame Tiki over The Queen of Mean.

5) Wall Street successfully defend the WoW Tag Titles against the Adventurers. After the match, Tycoon called Chance a winner, and says that the Pirate is holding him back.
6) In the second-round, Elfette defeats Aurora.

7) Mother Russia over Madame Tiki.

8) In a WoW World Title match, Average Guy retains against Skullgore.

9) In the ToQ final, Elfette defeats Mother Russia to become ToQ champion. In her post-match interview, Elfette is demure and self-effacing. She praises all her opponents, individually, at length. Tiki comes out to congratulate her. Auntie Voodoo comes out, and Elfette seems outright frightened by her. Elfette tells the crowd that she will need all their support to face Voodoo. Auntie says it will be a one-sided demolition of Elfette. Al calls out the entire roster, and they fill in and around the ring. BASILISK loyalists, now including the Think Tank, stand on the entrance platform. Al says that he can know give a full update. Thanks to assistance from the federal government, including an organization called Kathreftis, he has halted BASILISK’s takeover temporarily. Kathreftis reason for existence is to stop BASILISK. He is allowed to mention their name. While they are unknown to the public at large, they are not top-secret. There are groups that aided him that he’s not even aware of by name. A lot of planning was done by top-secret courier and phone calls on secure lines. The point is that all this effort worked, for now. Next week, in Chicago, everything will become clear. WoW isn’t out of danger, but the danger is delayed and could be thwarted in totality. The final verdict won’t be known for one full year. He thanks everyone for coming. Suddenly, a commotion is heard amongst the BASILISK ranks. Valedictorian is asking The Thinker what he’s doing speaking for the team on such an important matter. Thinker says it was the right call. Val says BASILISK’s reputation is well-known, and the stories about their villainy are true. He won’t be associated with such evil people. He asks Rick and TFO if they are with him. After they hesitate, Countess steps up. She says that Val would’ve been a great ally, and she’s sad to see him go. However, BASILISK doesn’t believe in keeping anyone against their will, so he’s released. Val replied that he was leaving with or without her’s or anyone’s permission. Countess replies, “you misunderstood. I said you were released. I didn’t say you were free to leave.” The BASILISK loyalists attack Valedictorian. WoW wrestlers are moving to help when out of the entrance, behind BASILISK’s position, comes Dude Brohan. He jumps in the fray and BASILISK scatter. He helps Val up, and they walk to the WoW allies’ position. Val shakes hands with Brohan and Guy as we fade.

1535/48/**

For the first time in over a year, WoW is back in Chicago for a show that begins a year in which WoW’s ultimate fate will be determined. 12 months from now, WoW will either become BASILISK or end BASILISK once and for all. Honest Al, Arizona Chance, Countess, and Skullgore are in the ring. The lights go out and a video begins. It’s a make sitting at a huge desk with the BASILISK symbol on the wall behind him. He’s wearing a tuxedo, and a gold mask with a snake etched into it. He identifies himself as the Supreme Serpent. He opens by admitting he underestimated Al’s resolve. He didn’t expect him to reach out to the government for help, and he didn’t expect Kathreftis to get involved. However, what’s done is done, and all that’s been accomplished is the delay of BASILISK’s takeover of WoW. He will leave it up to the championship committee to explain the rules. He will check in on occasion to get a first-hand view of BASILISK’s dominance, but the operation will be handled by Countess and Skullgore. He’s quite sure they will do a wonderful job of moving the plan forward. The video goes dark and the lights are up. Al says that the championship committee of which the gentleman spoke now consists of Countess, Skullgore, Arizona Chance, and himself. The other three will remain active wrestlers as well. Countess then took over and said that we will announce the alignments for wrestlers in the upcoming conflict. Wrestlers could choose WoW, BASILISK, or unaligned. However, BASILISK tends to have a “if you’re not with us you against us” mindset, so unaligned wrestlers are considered the enemy. That being said, any matches between WoW or BASILISK wrestlers and unaligned wrestlers don’t count towards the end goal of the conflict. Wrestlers are allowed to change sides should they come to their senses when they realize a BASILISK victory is inevitable. Al warns her to keep it neutral as discussed, and she agrees. Arizona Chance says that they will begin calling names, and the wrestler will come out and stand on the side of the stage under the WoW logo or the BASILISK logo. Any names not called are unaligned, and that list will appear on the screen at the end. By the end of the exercise, the teams, plus unaligned, look like this:

WoW-Arizona Chance/Aurora/Average Guy/Buzzsaw/Damon Van Winkle/Danger Zone/Devin Van Winkle/Dicky Thunderbird/Dude Brohan/Dungeon Crawler/Enormous Pierre/Freedom Fighter/Gothica/Grand Manga/Haka Tonga/He-Beast/Jet Set Strutter/Lazer/Madame Tiki/Michael T. Wolf/Mighty Leo/Princess Starbright/Red Pirate Rogers/Reptile Ranger/Roboelectro 2000/Terry Van Winkle/The Valedictorian/Valley Girl/War Hawk

Notes from the WoW roster-Lazer and Princess Starbright were not present due to injury. After announcing War Hawk, Al said that the foursome of Cutthroat Carter, Papa Choppa, The Mad Arab, and Troglo were WoW’s reserve team. He did not elaborate on what that meant. However, the four men walked out together, and Carter and Choppa did not look happy.

BASILISK-Ace of Spades/Auntie Voodoo/Brit Buckingham/Countess/Dark Invader/Death Star Boy/El Presidente/Exotic Rick/Flawless One/Gorgon Tokoro/Iron Mask/Lyndi Harker/Mother Russia/Mr. Tycoon/Ninja Shadow/Piranha/The Queen of Mean/Skullgore/The Annihilator/Vladimir the Cruel/Yuppie VP.

Notes from BASILISK roster-Countess said that she’s sure everyone’s already noticed that WoW has more members. BASILISK is about quality, not quantity. Plus, they are still in negotiation for a couple of their roster spots. The biggest surprise here is the inclusion of Piranha. Many thought a mistake had been made when the name Piranha was called out. However, out came Piranha who immediately went to the BASILISK side. Al commented that they had never received an answer from The Shark, and now they know why. As Piranha took his place with BASILISK, Skullgore was heard to remark, “Thank you, Dark Invader. Your skills are masterful.”
Everyone aligned with BASILISK had a logo somewhere on their gear.

The following names appeared on the screen for several minutes as the aligned wrestlers returned to the back to begin the show. They did not come out.

Bobby Blitzworth/Brute/Bug Buster/Cesar Sleaze/Chaka Crass/Chameleon Kid/Chief Buffalo/Crash/Drool/Elfette/Fireball/Glam/Herman the Nerd/Jessie Wild/Johnny Kobra/Magnus Muscle/Mark Bugg/Massacre/Max Attack/Mike Bugg/Moon Man/Mynx/Pat Cabbage/Pop King/Ruffian/Sgt. Shipley/Slammer Johnson/Spunky Sparks/Waldo the Dweeb/Zeke Mullet/Zen/

An asterisk next to Chief Buffalo’s name said that he had requested BASILISK, but had been turned down. He is the only wrestler to which this happened. Tennis Pro refused to answer the request, saying he was only here long enough to beat The Fake-Pros. He was leaving this “third-rate” fed that didn’t appreciate his greatness ASAP.

Additionally, Teeny Norman announced his formal retirement from the ring, but would keep his playhouse open when needed. The Dobermans, GoblinKnight, and Juan Tijuana have parted ways with the company.

1) In the first match of the WoW vs. BASILISK conflict, WoW strikes first when Madame Tiki gets the win over Gorgon Tokoro.

2) Al makes a special announcement for the next two matches. We will have back-to-back three-way matches and each match will involve a member of one of three teams, The Gladiators, The Muscle Men, and 8-Bit. The winners of those two matches will then face each other to see which team gets a tag title match. If the two team members win both, then that team wins the title match. In the first match, Massacre defeats Pat Cabbage and Zen.

3) The second three-way, Brute versus Max Attack versus Magnus Muscle ends in a No Contest when all three men start brawling all over the ringside area, and then their partners get involved. After order is restored, the ring announcer says that since Massacre won the first match, The Gladiators will get the title shot.

4) Countess comes out with Iron Mask, Mr. Tycoon, Dark Invader, and Ninja Shadow. She tells the fans to bask in the greatness that is the core of her team. She echoes Skullgore’s appreciation to Dark Invader for delivering Piranha. DI says “that lunatic’s teetering on the edge of insanity all the time. Pushing him one way or the other was child’s play.” Tycoon says that with his financing, Invader’s influence, and Countess ability to lead, this team is unbeatable. Countess promised everyone present a position of authority once BASILISK formally takes over. She says that she doesn’t think the process will last a year, as she expects Al to fold when he sees how he’s outclassed. Iron Mask ventures that this team alone could defeat WoW without the others. Countess admonishes him for too much bravado.

5) Crash over Bug Buster. Buster attacks Crash as soon as he comes through the entrance. It looks like he will roll to an easy win when a video of the Insectoids appears on the screen. They have the satchel, and they thank Crash for getting their money back. Crash uses this distraction to get the win.

6) Ace of Spades over Dicky Thunderbird by Countout. Piranha comes to ringside while AoS distracts the ref and hits Thunderbird with a foreign object. He is unable to beat the ref’s count back to the ring.

7) Skullgore and Haka Tonga fight to a double-disqualification.

8) In a non-title match, The Flawless One, with The Thinker, over The Valedictorian.

9) In a Cruiserweight title match, Grand Manga successfully defends against Devin Van Winkle. After the match, Ninja Shadow attacks Manga.

At the end of the show, it’s announced that due to having 1 pinfall and 1 countout victory to WoW’s 1 pinfall victory, BASILISK win this event.

1) Mike Bugg and Crash are talking backstage. Bugg thanks Crash again for getting their money back. He “tips” him with a roll of bills. Bug Buster comes and immediately goes after Crash, but Mike pulls him off. Buster takes a swing at Mike, but security separates them before it escalates. BB asks Crash why he stole the money and smashed his backpack after helping him get it back. Crash reminded of him the conversation they had after he’d been beaten up by the Bullies. How BB promised to help him next time? “Next time came, and I got my tail kicked again by the Bullies. Where were you? Still “mentally preparing” for your handicap match. How much mental prep do you need?” Buster said it didn’t matter now as Crash had crossed the line when he stole money and damaged property. Mike Bugg called BB ungrateful. BB said that he was getting every dime back, and Crash was going to be the one to cover that guarantee this time.

2) Chaka Crass over Elfette. Elfette was very distraught at her loss.

3) In Trios Elimination match, the BASILISK team of Ninja Shadow, The Annihilator, and the sole survivor, El Presidente defeated Arizona Chance, Red Pirate Rogers, and Reptile Ranger.

4) We go to a P4V commercial for the upcoming Battle Royale in two weeks. Buzzsaw, Freedom Fighter, and Roboelectro say their job is to try and win while, at the same time, keeping BASILISK from winning. FF even says that sometimes you have to sacrifice the former for the latter. We also get a quick word from Ace of Spades, who will be challenging Average Guy for the WoW title in a Steel Cage Match. AoS says that he’s going to win the title, and a BASILISK “patriot” will win the Battle Royale. This will lockdown the WoW title for BASILISK for a long time.

5) The Tennis Pro comes out extremely cocky. He says that he’s found the partner who will help him take out Blitz and Slammer. He came highly recommended by someone who he respects, Countess. Welcome to WoW, Chicano!!! Chicano almost single-handedly takes out the All-Pros by himself. He pins Blitzworth after using his Straight Edge finisher. He then attacks Johnson, and takes him out with the same move. Tennis Pro loves it. That changes when Chicano attacks Pro with his own racquet and smashes it to pieces over his back. He then lays out Pro with a third Straight Edge. Chicano said that Pro was the biggest waste of air he’s ever encountered, but his money spent like everybody else’s. The announcers said that this was Pro’s last match in WoW, and he’s going out in a manner worthy of his lousy personality.

6) Cutthroat Carter over Iron Mask. Carter says that he hopes Al and Chance were watching that. He and his boys are getting tired of being overlooked. “And what’s the reserve team, anyhow? Nobody will actually explain our role to us.”

7) The Flawless One and Exotic Rick are out with the Thinker. Rick says that Valedictorian was the weak link, and they’re better off without him. He calls himself “The REAL 1984 wrestler of the year.” Thinker says Rick’s right, however, Val’s betrayal will not go unpunished. Joining BASILISK, regardless of how you feel about them, was the right move. Val’s going to feel stupid when he and his family are homeless. He will come begging for help, and The Think Tank will kick him until he forgets his wife’s name. Rick says that he might take the wife for a maid or something. He’s seen her, and she looks pretty good.

8) In his first match back in over a year, Dude Brohan loses to Dark Invader, with Death Star Boy.

9) Wall Street, with Lyndi Harker, over The Gladiators to retain the WoW tag team championship. 8-Bit walk out and remind everyone that they beat The Gladiators. When’s their turn? Tycoon says that they’re now next in line.


At the end of the show, it’s announced that due to having 2 pinfall victories to WoW’s 1 pinfall victory, BASILISK win this event. They lead 2-0.

3) Evil Empire over 8-Bit. DSB tells them that they’re lucky to get that title shot Tycoon promised last week because they don’t deserve it. He guesses that Wall Street took the match because they want what’s pretty close to a night off when you fight 8-Bit.

4) Brit Buckingham over Zeke Mullet. El Presidente came out and his distraction set up the finish. EP tried to attack Mullet, but he got away.

5) Skullgore is with what appears to be Rex Spectrum’s TV adorned with BASILISK logos. Instead of Spectrum, the Supreme Serpent’s face appears. He congratulates Skullgore for jumping out to a lead early. Skull says “the faster they get demoralized, the faster this is over. They will be crying for mercy by Summer.”

6) Gothica and Valley Girl are backstage talking about VG’s upcoming match with Gorgon Tokoro. Gothica is giving her a scouting report, as VG’s never met her one-on-one. As they speak, Lyndi Harker and Countess jump them. They focus the assault on VG, and she takes a beating. It is quickly determined that a hospital visit is in order.

7) The Frat Boy Bullies over Nerd Alert.

8) Gorgon Tokoro comes out, and Countess joins the announcing crew. Countess says it will be a forfeit win since Valley’s taking an ambulance ride right now. Al comes out and says that she needs to hold her horses. He’s found a more than suitable substitute. She’s back and in the best shape ever…Princess Starbright! Countess and Gorgon laugh, until Starbright hit the ring and lays into Tokoro. She hits and runs the entire match, and Gorgon is off-balance. Starbright’s intensity is at a brand-new level. Countess finally leaves the desk to interject herself, and Starbright takes both of them out and follows it up with a pin on Gorgon.

9) In a three-way WoW Ladies’ Title match, Auntie Voodoo retains against Elfette and Madame Tiki. In the end, Elfette sacrificed herself to save Tiki from taking the losing pinfall. Auntie was setting up for Auntie’s Hex on Tiki when Elfette shoved Tiki out of the way and absorbed the brunt of the move, which caused her to be pinned. Al approached her after the match, and asked what happened. Elfette said that if Auntie was going to win the match, then she would rather take the fall than let a legend like Tiki suffer the loss.


At the end of the show, it’s announced that due to having 2 pinfall victories to WoW’s 1 pinfall victory, BASILISK win this event. They lead 3-0.

1) Wall Street, with Lyndi Harker, retain the WoW Tag Team Titles against 8-Bit.

2) Princess Starbright over Countess. This match had also been Valley Girl’s originally, but she wasn’t released to wrestle after the attack by Harker and Countess. Al comes out and names Starbright the #1 contender to the Ladies’ Title despite the protestations of Countess.

3) Cutthroat Carter, Papa Choppa, and Barbaric Nature are out. Carter says they are still upset at the lack of respect they’ve been given ever since Ryan Regret, who they’ve not heard from in weeks, told them that their alliances were shifting. He said they don’t care who they beat up, but there are a lot of guys in the WoW locker room that they really don’t like. If they have to associate with them, they damn well better be respected by them. He gives Al a few more days to meet with them and explain exactly what their role is, or they might take it upon themselves to make a new role.

4) In a Steel Cage Match for the WoW title, Average Guy retains against Ace of Spades.

1) Sgt. Shipley defeated Gothica and Lyndi Harker in a three-way match.

2) In an elimination Trios match, Brit Buckingham, The Annihilator, and The Piranha defeated Papa Choppa, Cutthroat Carter, and Troglo. Piranha was the only survivor. After the match, a frustrated Carter said that this was the last straw. He called out Al and asked why he hasn’t gotten his meeting yet. Carter continues by saying that he’s found out from good authority that Al and Chance don’t trust him and his crew, and they likely regret approaching Ryan Regret the way they did. Al admits that there are some in the locker room on the WoW side that aren’t convinced that this group can be trusted. Other’s don’t feel that this group’s ability to help the WoW team is really there. Carter says he didn’t expect such honesty from Al. Al asks what he’s going to do. Carter says he has no desire to have WoW’s back any more, but he and Papa think that BASILISK are a bunch of jerks. He doesn’t know or care what The Arab and Troglo are doing, but he and Papa are officially done as of right now. They exit, and Al and a confused Troglo are left standing in the ring.

3) Exotic Rick and Chicano defeat Jet Set Strutter and Enormous Pierre when Pierre turns on Strutter and joins the Think Tank. Strutter had the 6-Figure Leglock on Chicano when Pierre dropped the big elbow on JSS’ chest. He pulled Chicano over to Rick, who tagged himself in and finished off JSS with the Exotic Awakening. The Thinker, Rick, and The Flawless One embrace Pierre as they celebrate. Thinker said the real Pierre is back and better than ever.
4) Bug Buster over Crash. BB again demands his money back, but Crash says to “talk to the Buggs.”

5) Damon Van Winkle over Vladimir the Cruel.

6) Haka Tonga over Cesar Sleaze. Chief Buffalo attacks Sleaze after the bell.

7) Buzzsaw over Skullgore. Before the match, Skull asked Saw if he’d talked to Lazer lately. Saw says that they talked this morning. Skull wonders if Buzzsaw’s aware that he may have made a wrong assumption about where Lazer’s loyalty’s lie. He asks Saw if he’s aware that Lazer knows that ‘Saw may not be as interested in restarting the Blade Blasters as Lazer is. Buzzsaw tells Skullgore that BASILISK has already tried messing with he and Lazer once, and it blew up in their face. Don’t make the same mistake twice.

8) Grand Manga retains the WoW Cruiserweight Title against Ninja Shadow.

9) The Flawless One retains the WoW TV title against The Mad Arab.

Both WoW and BASILISK finish this show with 3 pinfall victories each, so this show is deemed a tie. BASILISK still leads 3-1.

1) Pierre the Enormous, with The Thinker, destroys Drool. Thinker says that what you’ve just seen is but a tiny fraction of what Pierre is capable of.

2) Red Pirate Rogers over El Presidente and Chameleon Kid in a three-way match.

3) Chief Buffalo pins Cesar Sleaze. Buffalo says that he would like to petition WoW for inclusion on their team. He “will help them teach BASILISK a lesson.”

4) The Championship Committee of Al, Arizona Chance, Countess, and Skullgore are in a conference room. Al says that Cutthroat Carter and Papa Choppa have indeed ended parted ways with WoW. He has no further info on the status of The Mad Arab and Troglo right now. Countess says that she can update their status. The Arab and Troglo are now aligned with BASILISK. Barbaric Nature is being dissolved, and Troglo will be reunited with Piranha as The Neanderthals. Chance replies that neither of those acquisitions causes undue concern for WoW. He admits he didn’t trust anyone in Regret’s old group. Skullgore says that there are several people currently aligned with WoW who have been reaching out secretly about changing sides. Chance calls him a liar who is only trying to create mistrust. BASILISK is terrified of when The Blade Blasters reunite, and will do anything to stop it.

5) Teeny Norman opens up his Playhouse on tonight’s show. He mentions his retirement again, and thanks everyone for their support. He didn’t have a long career, but it brought him together with Tiki, so it was a successful one. He introduces Elfette. He thanks her for her actions in the three-way match where she took a move intended for Tiki. She had later said that she did it to “save” Tiki from being the one pinned. She said she only meant well. Norman then introduced Tiki. She told Elfette that while she appreciated the thought behind the action, Elfette needs to let mind her own business. Tiki’s tougher than Elfette thinks she is, and there’s a good chance that she would have survived that Auntie’s Hex. Instead, they both lost the chance to get the title out of BASILISK’s hands. Elfette begins crying, saying she meant no harm. Norman goes into sympathetic mode, but Tiki is unwavering. She tells Norman that Elfette needs to thicken her skin if she wants to succeed in this business.

6) 8-Bit and The Gladiators fight to a 30-minute time-limit draw.

7) Haka Tonga over The Piranha.

8) Average Guy is out to speak. He talks about how blessed he is to have enjoyed this lengthy title run. The competition in WoW, regardless of your loyalty, is the best in the world and he can never be off his game, not one night. However, it’s hard to enjoy the privileges that come with being champ when the fans are looking at you as one of a group of saviors. Defending the title now means defending the company against BASILISK. He’s surrounded by good people every step of the way, and has no doubt that WoW will prevail.

9) In a rematch, Dude Brohan defeats Dark Invader with Death Star Boy. After the match, Brohan fights off an attacking DSB. As Dude celebrates in the ring, an unearthly roar fills the stadium. A giant of man steps on to the platform. Brohan looks confused. “Skinny?” Dude asks, but the man stands and stares. Everyone recognizes the man as Tony “Skinny” Wistler, the actor who played the protagonist to Dude’s main character in his movie, “Anything Goes.” Brohan approaches Wistler. Wistler lets out another roar and yells, “I am JUPITER,” before clotheslining Brohan so hard he goes head over heels. The crowd doesn’t know what to think, as Jupiter is the villain character played by Wistler in the movie. “Jupiter” grabs Brohan and stands him up. He carries him to the edge of the platform and bodyslams him 10 feet to the floor. “Brohan! You won our first match, but next time, Jupiter will end you.”


At the end of the show, it’s announced that due to having 3 pinfall victories to BASILISK’s 1 pinfall victory, WoW win this event. BASILISK still lead 3-2.

Dude Brohan enters the backstage area from the outside looking rough. Countess and Skullgore
appear to be waiting for him. “Looking rough, Brohan,” said Skullgore. “Jupiter did a number on you.”
“Jupiter, my butt. Somebody paid Tony a fortune to act like he believes he’s a character from a movie in
real life. I just spent 10 hours a day for the last year working shoulder-to-shoulder with that brother. 8
weeks ago, he was about to start a new movie. All of a sudden he shows up here with full-blown
schizophrenia and throws me in a 10-foot hole. Was Tycoon behind this? It doesn’t matter, because when
I find who turned my main man against me, I’m going to crush them.” Countess laughed lightly, “Your
friend is gone. What you experienced last week was BASILISK’s new engine of destruction. His path
begins with you and ends with the WoW title around his waist. Don’t bother looking for him. He only
comes around when called for, and we decided to let you stay angry a little longer.”

1) Howl n’ Roar over Brit Buckingham and Vladimir the Cruel. During this match, the announcers
mention that the agreement which ended the Coalition several years ago has been rescinded.
Former Coalition wrestlers are no longer prohibited from having in-ring associations or alliances.

2) Devin Van Winkle over the Mad Arab.

3) Lyndi Harker over Gothica. Arizona Chance comes out and compliments Harker on her recent He
success. He says that if she weren’t aligned with Auntie Voodoo that she would be a top
contender just like Starbright. Sadly, she made her bed; she has to lay in it.

4) Evil Empire over the American Heroes.

5) Princess Starbright is out with Al. She says she’s never been more intense or focused. The
amount of time she’s spent in rehab and recovery lately has given her a lot of time to think. She
proved what she can do when she beat the biggest and baddest in Gorgon. Nobody thought she
could win, and the old Princess might not have been able to do so. She thanks American Guy and
Valley Girl for standing with her. She laughs about thanking Valley Girl, as that’s something she
never thought she would be doing. VG stood beside her the whole way through. Her taking the
title from Voodoo is dedicating to VG, Guy, and anybody who has ever helped another person
through a rough time. “Voodoo, all the hexes in the World won’t stop me.”

6) El Presidente and Chicano defeat The All-Pros. Johnson is so upset that he smashes his bat on the ring post.

7) He-Beast and Iron Mask fight to a double-disqualification.

8) Arizona Chance has something on his mind. He references the next match, a cruiserweight title match which sees Skullgore challenging. He mentions that that he was under the impression that Countess, Skullgore, and himself weren’t going to go after titles during the conflict. Not only that, but Skullgore goes after any title that suits him, even if he doesn’t fit the tradition of that title. WoW doesn’t keep wrestlers in a stylistic box, but there’s a look and a feel to a cruiserweight, and Skullgore isn’t it.

9) Skullgore, with Countess, wins the WoW Cruiserweight title from Grand Manga.




At the end of the show, it’s announced that due to having 3 pinfall victories to WoW’s 2 pinfall victory, BASILISK win this event. BASILISK remain in the lead 4-2.

Al and Countess are meeting. She says they want to make tonight’s main event a three-way match and they want to add Exotic Rick. Al laughs and says the three-way is fine, but there’s no way that a BASILISK member will be the third man. Al brings up Dicky Thunderbird. Countess says “no way.” Al asks if she understands why her suggestion was ludicrous. Countess says that he’s just delaying the inevitable. Al says we will add somebody from the unaligned group by match time.

1) Jet Set Strutter over Pierre the Enormous, with the Thinker, with the 6-Figure Leglock. Pierre and The Thinker had told Strutter before the match that if he got the hold on Pierre that he would never submit him. Surprisingly, Pierre tapped quickly, but it may have been a ruse. He wouldn’t let JSS release the hold, and Exotic Rick and The Flawless One attacked JSS while he was down. The Valedictorian and Dude Brohan made the save, but Jupiter came out and took out all three WoW wrestlers.

2) We quickly go to the back, where The Gladiators have attacked Max Attack from behind and are working him over. Zen shows up with two metal chairs and chases them off.

3) Lyndi Harker over Elfette. After the pin, Harker grabs Elfette’s face and slaps her. She tells her that she can’t believe she managed to defeat her in the Tournament of Queens. Harker said it was a pure luck and could never happen again. The only bright side is that Elfette wasted the title shot she got in a lame effort to express Tiki. All she got for that was a chewing out by Tiki. She’s impressed nobody, and needs to reconsider her future in WoW before BASILISK considers it for her.

4) Howl n’ Roar become 6-time tag team champions when they dethrone Wall Street. Lyndi Harker does not initially come out with Wall Street, but shows up mid-match. Tycoon’s attention immediately goes to her, and his teamwork with Yuppie suffers. H n’ R win after a Thunderstrike on Yuppie that Tycoon isn’t there to save. Tycoon and Harker lay into Yuppie verbally for getting pinned. He lashes back, saying that if Tycoon’s mind were on the match and not his chippie that the match would still be going on. Harker slaps Yuppie. He refrains from hitting back. Tycoon tells him that was a “good idea. We’ve never looked better since Lyndi joined us. You owe her a thanks for the help and the slap. Maybe it brought you to your senses.” Yuppie, “We were getting better before she ever joined up, and we’ve, no-you’ve-gone downhill ever since.” With that, Tycoon shove Yuppie back. Yuppie, “We’ve been friends too long for me to drop you like you deserve. In the spirit of that friendship, I am going to go talk to Countess and tell her that it’s in BASILISK’s best interest for me to have a new directive. Wall Street can no longer be effective.” Yuppie heads up the aisle. Tycoon, “VP, listen up, kid. You don’t have to bother Countess. I know what she’s going to say. Your effectiveness is limited to what you do as part of Wall Street. Lately, that hasn’t been very much. We anticipated you costing us the titles, and we decided that when that happened, your new directive would be “terminated.” Meet my new partner, old pal.” Jupiter comes in behind Yuppie and destroys him with a big boot. Tycoon and Harker join in the assault. Countess and Skullgore come out to take their shots. Yuppie VP is a bloody mess. Tycoon instructs a production assistant to “get this trash to the dumpster.”

5) Dude Brohan is out for the next match. Jupiter comes out second. Dude, “Tony, I don’t know what’s going on here-.” Jupiter interrupts, “I am Jupiter. For every time you address me as any other name, I will increase the length of the beating you will receive before I pin you.” Dude, “Listen, brother, I don’t know if you’re brainwashed or paid off or what, but playtime’s over. The only thing I’m calling you is delusional for believing, or acting like you believe, that you’re a movie character.” Jupiter ordered the bell rung, and the ref complied. Jupiter stunned the crowd by cleanly pinning Brohan with his Wrecking Machine finisher. Brohan didn’t move. “Jupiter knelt down, got in his face, and screamed “I am Jupiter! You will say my name!!”

6) Grand Manga over The Piranha.

7) Auntie Voodoo is about to talk when Princess Starbright interrupts. “Voodoo, for all your talk about BASILISK and your magic and all that nonsense, one thing is clear. You are afraid of Princess Starbright. Everybody watching can see that. You can laugh it off, and try to hide it, but it’s simply the truth. It’s eating you up inside. You owe me a match. Stop dodging me and let’s get this thing settled.” Voodoo replied, “Chile, I am incapable of experiencing an emotion like fear where a mere slip of a girl like you is concerned. I am not forgetting you beat Gorgon, but she’s not me. She’s not wearing this gold belt. People whisper about how Starbright’s changed, how she’s somehow tougher. You’re still wet behind the ears, chile. Auntie is the master here, and always will be. You are hopelessly dreaming, and that will bring you nothing but pain.”

8) Sorcery defeated Sibling Strength.

9) Average Guy retained the WoW title in a three-way match also involving Ace of Spades and, from the unaligned group, Bobby Blitzworth. Blitzworth takes the fall after an Average Elbow.


At the end of the show, it’s announced that due to having 4 pinfall victories to BASILISK’s 3 pinfall victory, WoW win this event. BASILISK remains in the lead 4-3.
