PLAY BY PLAY

HPW and HXS TV set the scene!

The Triforce Anniversary had the Third Triforce Tournament’s finals, and the Hero’s Shadow won what was more a 2v1 handicap! But he isn’t getting a 1v1 rematch with the Hero of Hyrule, all because of the Underworld Order! Hollywood ReDead was added to this title match because of the hard work of his faction, but will he make it pay off? Then, the Princess of Hyrule returns to action against not just one or two opponents, but FOUR! All four Poe Sisters, from Amy to Beth to Joelle to Meg, will compete against Zelda in a Gauntlet match! Will any of the sisters stand a chance? Or will Zelda go 4-0 against the Poes?

Ghirahim has one last piece of the Fused Shadow, and Midna is coming for the sweep! Will the Living Blade keep this series alive? Or will the Twilight Princess end this nightmare? But to open the night, the rest of the uWo is in action! Death Sword, Gomess and #DatGibdo look to hold up their end of things by going for the HPW Trios Championships! But standing in the way is the Zora Rock ‘n’ Rolla and the Young Ducks! Fin Balure may be Termina Champion, but that’s not going to stop Arrow Club! Will they shoot down the uWo to take aim at Ganondorf and team? HPW’s Spectacular Spectacle starts now!

HPW Trios Championship #1 Contender’s Match: Arrow Club VS The UnderWorld Order!

“Arrow Club. F-F-F-For… Life.” The Young Ducks, Mack & Rick Quackson, walk out first, and then Fin Balure is riding on the shoulders of a burly Zazak gatorman! Just who is that? They go to the ring and Fin gets on the apron off the Zazak’s shoulders. Fin gets a mic while the Zazak gets in with the Ducks. “Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Spectacular Spectacle! And let me introduce you to the newest member of the Arrow Club! This is the Undertow, Bad Croc Scaly!” There are fans who cheer as Scaly roars and flexes.

Fin says he was “inspired” by what the uWo did at ThunderStruck last month. So now, for this match of Arrow Club VS uWo, it’ll be the Young Ducks and Bad Croc Scaly VS Death Sword, Gomess and Gibdo, the winners moving on to face- Speaking of, Ganondorf and his team make their entrance! And judging from the tron, they’re going by #GZA. The Gerudo Ace has a mic to say, “Wow, would ya look at that? It seems like no one wants to do any hard work around here! ReDead lets his old buddy, Gibdo, fight for him. And now Fin’s getting two turkeys and a gecko to do his chores.” Zant and Agahnim chuckle while fans are a bit torn.

Ganondorf tells everyone in the ring to relax, he and his team are just here to enjoy being the NEW HPW Trios Champions in their special VIP area. They’re going to enjoy watching these trios beat each other all up just to win a chance to lose to them. Ganondorf, Zant and Agahnim walk over to a spot cleared out ringside with cushy armchairs, champagne bottles on ice, and even a wide variety of lovely ladies. The trios sort out, and the debuting Bad Croc Scaly starts against Gomess. They circle, fans rally, and the two stare down. Scaly pie faces Gomess, but Gomess fires off fast hands and a BIG haymaker! Scaly just smirks.

Scaly grabs Gomess with both hands and throws him to an open corner! Scaly throws big body shots from all sides, but lets off as the ref counts 4. Scaly then throws a big back elbow! Gomess staggers but Scaly keeps him cornered to grind his forearm into Gomess’ face. Ganondorf’s team seems to like that. The ref counts again, Scaly lets off at 4 again, then goes for another back elbow, only for Gomess to dodge! Gomess stomps and punches and stomps some more and now the ref counts on him. Gomess stops at 4, wrenches Scaly and whips corner to corner. Gomess tags Death Sword then runs in from the side to forearm smash Scaly!

Death Sword runs corner to corner to RAM into Scaly! Death Sword digs his shoulder in and Gomess goes corner to corner to forearm smash again! Gomess then runs to swipe at the Ducks but they get out of the way, to the amusement of Ganondorf’s team. Death Sword snapmares Scaly, then drops an elbow! Cover, TWO! Scaly reaches out for his corner but Death Sword keeps him down with a chinlock. Fans rally and Scaly endures but Death Sword leans on the hold. Scaly fights up, throws body shots and gets free. Scaly headbutts Death Sword, then has him against ropes. Scaly CLUBS Death Sword in the chest!

Scaly whips Death Sword, Death Sword ducks and dodges, but Scaly CLOBBERS him! Scaly tags Mack, then Mack tags Rick. Mack & Rick hop onto Scaly’s back for a BIG SPLASH on Death Sword! Rick covers, TWO! Rick stomps Death Sword, and fans chant, “Young Ducks! Woop Woop! Young Ducks! Woop Woop!” Rick claps along with the “Woop Woop” then stomps with “Young Ducks!” So it’s stomp stomp, clap clap, repeat. Ganondorf’s team boos that, then Rick drags Death Sword by his legs and brings him over. Tag to Mack and Mack slingshot sentons onto Death Sword! Then tag back to Rick and Mack puts Death Sword through the ropes.

Mack drapes Death Sword out and Rick springboards, DRAPING 450 SPLASH! Cover, TWO! Rick tags Mack and they get Death Sword up. They double whip him to ropes, then double hip toss to handsprings and DOUBLE BASEMENT DROPKICK! Mack covers, TWO! Mack keeps Death Sword from the uWo with a chinlock. Death Sword reaches out with his arms but Mack grabs one for a half straitjacket. Death Sword grabs at Mack with the other arm, so Mack jabs an elbow into his head! Mack gets the other arm to complete a full straitjacket stretch. Death Sword endures and fans rally again. Death Sword fights up to his feet but Mack throws him down by his head!

The ref reprimands but Mack tags Scaly. Scaly drops an elbow on Death Sword in return for earlier, and also covers. TWO, but Scaly CLUBS Death Sword with crossface forearms. Scaly sits Death Sword up to CLUB him in the chest. Scaly drags Death Sword up, shoves him to ropes and CLUBS him on the rebound! He shoves Death Sword at the ropes again, to CLUB him again. Scaly shoves Death Sword a third time, but Death Sword comes back with a BOOT! Scaly staggers back, rebounds and runs in, but Death Sword dodges him! Gomess sneaks a tag and Death Sword CHOP BLOCKS Scaly! Gomess runs the ropes to LARIAT Scaly down! Cover, TWO!

Fans rally and duel as Gomess drags Scaly up and bumps him off buckles in the uWo corner. Tag to Gibdo and fans boo. Gibdo CLUBS Scaly, puts him against ropes and throws back elbows. Gibdo lets off as the ref counts 4, and then Gibdo runs the ropes to clothesline Scaly out of the ring! Fans fire up as Scaly tumbles to the floor! Gibdo roars and flexes and fans boo, but then the Dark Forces storm out! Wait, is that another Gibdo? The Gibdo leading Cia, Volga and Wizzro is in the Dark Forces purple ‘n’ silver and he’s pointing at the Gibdo in the ring wearing uWo black ‘n’ white! Even Ganondorf asks what’s going on here!

The ref tells the Dark Forces to stay back while the uWo seems unsure what to do about this. Fin distracts uWo Gibdo and then gets away as uWo rushes at him. That distracts Death Sword and Gomess, and they even chase Fin off! The Ducks get in! The ref reprimands but the Ducks DOUBLE SUPERKICK uWo Gibdo! Death Sword and Gomess notice that and get back on the apron, to get SUPERKICKS from the Ducks! Scaly gets in, the Ducks feed Gibdo to his choke grip, and Scaly holds up his other hand. Scaly pretends to pull a pin with his teeth, like a grenade! And then he pops uWo Gibdo up to CLOBBER him! Cover, Arrow Club wins!

Winners: Arrow Club, by pinfall (NEW HPW Trios Championships #1 Contenders)

Ganondorf applauds with very little enthusiasm, but the Dark Forces laugh at the UnderWorld Order. The Arrow Club celebrates, and they take aim at Ganondorf and his team with their pretend bows. Ganondorf dares them to try, but will the Ducks and Scaly hit those golden bull’s eyes? As for the uWo, they regroup and shout at the Dark Forces. The two Gibdos stare down, will the Dark Forces’ Gibdo expose this fraud?

Fused Shadow Piece: Ghirahim VS Midna!

The Living Blade has been stringing the Twilight Princess along by holding her prized possession hostage. Midna has won two pieces back, but this won’t be finished until she wins back the third! Will it all end here? Or will Ghirahim keep this going for a Fused Shadow Summer?

There are no entrance shenanigans this time, and the two stare down as the bell rings. Fans rally up and the two slowly circle. They approach, feel out knuckle locks, but then Ghirahim backs up. Midna is annoyed already and fans boo but Ghirahim tells them all to shut up. They circle again, feel out another grapple, Midna gets an arm and wrenches to a wristlock. Ghirahim rolls, kips up, and wrenches Midna to a wristlock. Midna spins and slips through to wrench and wristlock back. Midna YANKS the arm to keep Ghirahim from ropes, then twists the wrist.

Midna sputters while she still has her foot on the rope and fans are going nuts!

Ghirahim paces and waits on Midna. Midna slowly gets up, Ghirahim rushes her to get her against ropes, and then TOSSES her! Fans boo while Midna flounders up, and Ghirahim gets Midna again for another TOSS! Ghirahim shouts at her, “You’re NOTHING without your stupid crown! You’re not powerful! You’re not special! You’re just an ugly dwarf!” Midna drags herself to a corner and shouts back, “You idiot! The crown doesn’t give me power! My power was sealed in the crown! You’ve been fighting me with a huge advantage and you’ve still been losing!” Fans laugh and go “Ohhh…!” while Ghirahim tries to do the math on that.

Ghirahim gets furious and runs at the corner, but Midna dropkicks a leg out! Ghirahim hits buckles, Midna rolls him up, TWO! Midna stalks behind Ghirahim, he sits up, TWILIGHT- NO!

Ghirahim drops back, but Midna rolls back to a cover! TWO, TWILIGHT SLEEP!! Midna staggers to the cover, TWO and Ghirahim has a cradle! TWO!! Fans fire up while Ghirahim checks with the ref.

Midna survives and no one can believe it! Ghirahim is losing his cool and he pounds the mat. Then he glares at Midna, looks at the corner, and looks back at Midna. Ghirahim watches Midna as he goes to the corner.

Fans rally up as Midna slowly gets up. Ghirahim runs in from behind, HIDDEN BLADE!! Fans lose their minds, but then Ghirahim wraps on the DRAGON SLEEPER! Midna is OUT, Ghirahim wins!!

Winner: Ghirahim, by submission (holds onto the Fused Shadow)

Fans boo and some even throw their drinks! The Living Blade stands over Midna, hands raised in victory and with the third Fused Shadow piece in his hands. Then he kneels down beside Midna and says, “You will never have this back! EVER!” Ghirahim then leaves, holding the Fused Shadow up as he walks up the ramp. Is the Twilight Princess’s fate sealed? Or can she come back and finish this in four?

Beedle presents Link on the chair like a gift to ReDead, and ReDead applauds while fans boo as hard as they can.

Sahasrahla tells Beedle to get out of the ring but Beedle tells him, “Just be ready to count!” ReDead runs the ropes again, but Kage gets up to shove Beedle into him! Kage then SUPERKICKS ReDead down! Kage grabs Beedle with both hands as he stares death into his eyes! HEADBUTT! Fans fire up, Kage goes back to Link, and he sees the chair. Kage drags Link further onto the chair and puts Link in a drop zone. Kage climbs up the corner, to PHOENIX SPLASH!! Link is sandwiched between Kage and chair!! Kage covers, AND WINS!!

Winner: Kage, by pinfall (NEW HPW Triforce Champion)

The Hero of Hyrule has been dethroned by his shadow! A new era has just taken root, will HPW be subject to the Dark Forces?

Wait, wait, who is this coming out on stage now? Another surprise guest is here? It’s THE DARK GENERAL, ONOX!! The only Termina Championship Wrestling Triple Crown winner is here, too!! And he stares Kage down just like Veran and Zelda! Onox, Veran, is TCW trying to resurrect itself through HPW?

My Thoughts:

I can’t speak to whether this is “must-see,” but I sure had fun with this one. A new top champion while those of another (and currently defunct) promotion are making their way into the company. Big moves for this Summer, we’re going to have a really fun one for July to bridge the gap to August and Treasure Island 3. Which reminds me, I need to get going on Eventide Challenge entrants…
