When it rains, it pours…

HPW prepares for ThunderStruck 2!
Skull Kid won the Triforce Tournament Finals, but in perhaps the most controversial fashion! How will HPW address this unforeseen outcome?
HPW Management addresses the results of the Triforce Tournament.
General Manager Nicolas Foolyere feels like this happens too often. Starfish McMaguro still can’t even understand what was going on. “A mask coming to life? How is that even possible?” Nicolas says he’s seen some stuff in his career, but that took the cake. COO Humpback Hook Halibut points out that by virtue of a Triple Threat, it wouldn’t matter if a mask came to life or if someone else interfered on his behalf, Skull Kid won. There’s nothing they can do about what happened. The others accept that but Starfish turns the discussion to how to handle the title match at ThunderStruck.
Nicolas suggests maybe they postpone the title match to have a rematch of the finals. And they’ll add a stipulation of no interference. Hook says, “If only we could. Link isn’t medically cleared to compete, and the doctors don’t think he’ll be 100% again until after ThunderStruck. And we can’t delay things until June.” But the measure against interference does sound good to Starfish. They’ll ban everyone else from ringside, and she means everyone. No UnderWorld Order, no Dark Forces, no one that isn’t Skull Kid or Kage. Hook adds that on top of that, if the mask decides to get involved, it will count as an automatic disqualification.
Those stipulations are agreed upon, but Nicolas still feels there needs to be something more. There should be something to make it up to Igos du Ikana, as he was also affected by the mask’s interference. Hook does agree there, and they do need something planned for the other titles. Ganondorf, or now just “Ganon,” has the Termina Championship, and Midna is still Death Mountain Champion. But Midna is also Goddess Champion again, so perhaps they need to discuss contenders for that title. Will Zelda want a rematch? Nicolas knows his daughter isn’t one to accept handouts and automatic rematches.
Then Hook suggests several #1 contender’s matches, choosing from the pool of Triforce Tournament participants. Nicolas and Starfish agree to that, and they bring up the bracket. Obvious choices would be the semifinalists, Onox, Harlequin and Lupay. Lupay and Harlequin being teammates in the Faces of Evil, they can’t be trusted to compete in the same match. A lesson learned when Hilda, Ravio and Yuga turned out to be allies. Then they should bring in the quarterfinalists, Fin Balure, Kēvín the Gibdo, Odolwa, Byrne, Groose and… Oh, Militron is another FOE.
And Starfish wants to point out the Death Mountain title is Open Division, this can’t just be a boy’s club. Then they might as well throw Veran, Cia, Aveil and Ladrona into the mix. Nicolas takes these names as names on slips of paper and puts them in a box. Then he grabs them out at random to create a lottery. For the Termina Championship #1 contender’s match: Igos VS Harlequin VS Onox! For the Death Mountain Championship #1 contender’s match: Byrne VS Lupay VS Veran! And therefore, in the Goddess Championship #1 contender’s match: Cia VS Aveil VS Ladrona! The three are in agreement, and those matches are booked!
Three Triple Threats in the wake of the Triforce Tournament, who wins the golden tickets at the end of the rainbow?
HPW hears from Skull Kid.
Skull Kid is at home, heart shaped mask off, pouring himself a glass of Ron Ron Milk. Sudden, maniacal laughter echoes from the other room, and it spooks Skull Kid. Skull Kid asks if someone’s there. “Somebody.” “Who said that?” “Don’t play the innocent with me.” Skull Kid enters the next room, and the voice gets louder. “You’ve known all along.” Skull Kid asks where this person is, and they say, “Follow the cold shiver running down your spine.” Skull Kid looks at his collection of old masks. And then he turns around to see himself in the mirror. “I don’t understand.”
The Skull Kid in the mirror says, “Did you think it was coincidence? So many good things all happening for you, all for you. Skull Kid…” What is going on? What does this other him want? “To say what you won’t. To do what you can’t. To remove those in your way.” He holds up the heart mask. The mask Skull Kid stole over two years ago, that he’s been wearing ever since. Skull Kid is suddenly swarmed with the memories of what he’s done since getting that mask, and it starts to overwhelm him. “You beat them down.” “We beat them down.” This other him… The mask?
“Bingo.” You stole him, so now he’s bringing Skull Kid everything he’s ever wanted: power beyond your wildest dreams. And it’s only just begun. “There is only one who can stop us. Or, imagine if he joined us!” Skull Kid is afraid of his reflection’s evil smile. What will this double-minded madman have in store for the Triforce Champion in May?
My Thoughts:
Heck yeah, Spider-Man movie reference with that Skull Kid promo. And also, a lot of awesome stuff coming for ThunderStruck 2. Blood & Thunder, the Triforce title match, and now three Triple Threat contender’s matches to possibly give us some fresh match-ups. Midna is gonna have her hands full defending two titles, but it would’ve been the same for Zelda since these are dual titles, not unified titles.

There’s been a slight change in the forecast…
There may not be a storm on the horizon, but when Wrestling Is Life, every day is unpredictable! What does HPW have planned for May Day?
HPW prepares for the storm ahead…
Blood & Thunder still beckons, and the Faces of Evil need to defend their HPW World Trios Championships. Therefore, Wrestling Is Life will see two qualifying trios matches! After the controversial nature of losing the titles at HyruleMania, Arrow Club is given a spot in these qualifiers. And they will be facing familiar foes in TSDQ! The Studly Don’t Quit, but will they make it through to ThunderStruck? As for the second qualifier, Los Taros Locos will return in hopes of stampeding up to the top of HPW, but they’ll be up against quite the mysterious team. Cia represents the OG Dark Forces expelled from the group, and she’ll bring her sister, Lana, with her!
But who is their third partner? They didn’t name them, so who could it be? Volga? Kevin Gibdo? Or even Wizzro? Will keeping it an unknown be the key to winning?
Igos du Ikana speaks.
From inside his shadowy throne room, The Ruler of Ruin looks at the HPW Death Mountain Championship on a pedestal. “The HPW Death Mountain Championship. A championship created not just to commemorate one of Hyrule’s greatest landmarks, but also to commemorate one of Hyrule’s greatest wrestling promotions. Death Mountain Wrestling was a vital part of wrestling history, where legends would pave the way for a new generation, and inspire many more. Not unlike Termina Championship Wrestling.”
Igos walks past the pedestal to look to a trophy case. Igos looks to his copy of the classic TCW Championship, and even of the High Noon Championship. There are also poster sized pictures of Igos’ greatest moments, such as the first time he won the TCW title, and the last time he held it while TCW was still active. Igos continues by saying, “I say this not because you don’t know. Of course you know this. I say this so that you might understand. I say this because I need you to understand. You have great aspirations, and strong ambition, but I don’t think you understand what you’re attempting to achieve.
“You stand at the foot of a mountain, it’s shadow upon you. That mountain’s name is legacy. You want to climb the mountain. You want to reach the top and plant your own flag at the summit. You want everyone to see you, to look up to you, to acknowledge you. But this climb is more challenging than you know. This climb is more challenging than you can handle. These belts may only be ten pounds, but they weigh so much more once you put them on. You are not ready for the climb. You are not ready to carry that weight. You are not ready to push yourself, step after step, inch after inch, as the mountain only grows steeper and steeper. And you never will be.
“So I tell you this not because you do not know. I tell you this so that you may understand. You must turn back now, find another path forward, before it is too late. Before you fall… to ruin.” It is clear who this message is for, but will young Yunobo heed this grizzled warrior’s warning?
HPW Deep Dive: Wisdom VS Power.
The Princess of Hyrule visits Hero of Hyrule, Link, now that he’s home from the hospital. He still needs bed rest, given everything Ganon did to him. He has bandages around his head, and his sister, Aryll, checks his stitches. 13 stitches all along the hairline. They’re holding well, no bleeding. Zelda sits with Link and holds his hand. She apologizes for what happened, but Link shakes his head. Aryll agrees, Zelda’s not to blame, Ganon and his Dark Forces are. They ruined her moment, they beat Link down, so they they have to be stopped. Ganon’s coming after the title anyway, so Zelda can get payback at the same time.
Ganon says, “Like I give a damn.” The Gerudo Ace lounges in his manor, The Dark Forces all around him. That now includes Shabonne & Tali, sporting new ensembles to reflect joining up. The Faces of Evil have their HPW World Trios Championships while Ganon has the Triforce Tournament trophy in hand. Ganon then mockingly says, “YoU dEsErVe It~! YoU dEsErVe It~!” Audio from the Triforce Anniversary event is interspliced here, as well as flashes of Zelda being emotional as she has the title belt put on.
“Isn’t it strange that Zelda takes the fall at HyruleMania, but I’m the one relegated to the tournament? And she clearly has that pointy eared little simp wrapped around her finger, or else he wouldn’t have even agreed to the match. But hey, what do I know? I only beat Link one-on-one in his first defense, then beat Zelda one-on-one in my first defense. I’m the Triple Crown Champion, I beat legends of TCW, and I’m this year’s Triforce Tournament winner. No one is more deserving of that title, of whatever title there is, than me! Isn’t that right?” The group all say, “Yeah!”
Ganon says, “The Dark Forces will be golden!” The group again shouts, “Yeah!” Ganon says, “The Dark Forces RUNS HPW!” The group again shouts, “YEAH!!” The Dark Forces all raise a glass to drink it up, while Link rests his head on Zelda’s shoulder and she rests her head on his. The Princess of Hyrule may reign, but will she fail to trump the Gerudo Ace? The countdown is on until May 1st, when Wrestling is Life!
