For the fifth time, the Triforce Tournament has its conclusion! But for the first time, we have a Goron and two Gerudo battling it out for the great honor and glory of lifting the trophy! History is being made no matter what, but will young Yunobo make his family proud? Or will the Gerudo Sisterhood keep their momentum going all the way to the top of HPW? Likewise, the living legend, Nabooru, is going to reignite her old rivalry with Zora Princess, Ruto! Two icons of women’s wrestling will collide, but only one can be a Goddess! The Fifth HPW Triforce Anniversary in Central Hyrule starts now!

HPW Goddess Championship: Ruto VS Nabooru!

So much of HPW’s landscape changed at HyruleMania 4, and The Zora Princess played a major part in that. Ruto is Arrow Club, will she keep them golden? Or will her old rival get one more on her after all this time?

The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see who is truly iconic!

The bell rings and the fans are already chanting “This is Awesome!” because it’s been that long since these two were 1v1. Ruto smirks as she and Nabooru finally start circling. They approach, but then Ruto avoids the grapple to strut around. The fans are torn but Nabooru keeps cool, she remembers Ruto’s antics. Ruto eggs Nabooru on, they reset, but then Ruto avoids another grapple. Ruto smiles and waves to the crowd, getting both cheers and jeers. But then she turns around into Nabooru’s DROPKICK!

The fans are shocked but The Zora Princess snatches away the victory! What is Nabooru to do about this controversy? Will Ruto’s reign continue on through the Spring?

Byrne Lokoma w/ Chancellor Cole VS ???

Turns out, “the man who will take his control of this year’s tournament and finally steer HPW in the right direction,” to quote the Special Counsel, is not The Man with the Iron Claw. Maybe Rusl getting off commentary to shout at him wasn’t right, but Byrne did throw Taro Blanco at him first. But then, is Rusl really going to be the one that puts Byrne in his place? Or will there be no more derailments for this former Dark Horse?

Chancellor Cole looks to commentary and sees Rusl isn’t there. Cole has the mic to ask, “So, either the old timer is a coward or a fool. If he’s hiding in the back, then he’s a coward. But if he’s actually thinking of coming out here to fight my client, then he’s a fool. So which is he really, hmm?” Everyone waits, and Cole gets impatient. “We don’t have all day!” Rusl’s music hits! The fans cheer and Cole laughs. “Guess he’s a fool then! Alright, come on in then so we can get this over with.” Rusl has a mic to say, “Well, you know me. I’d rather be a fool than a coward. But I’m also not a fool. See, for the first time in a long time, I got in the gym, started working out.

“And I didn’t want to admit it at first, but uh… Well, that little toilet with the top hat had a point. I’m past my prime.” Fans chant “Toilet Top Hat! Toilet Top Hat!” and Cole grumbles. Rusl continues to say that yes, he’s past his prime. He let himself so it would be foolish for him to fight Byrne. But the thing is, Rusl knows somebody who is still in their prime, who hasn’t let themself go, and is just itching to humble a brat like Byrne. It’s AURU! The fans cheer as another member of The Resistance stands up to the upstart! Will Auru prove he’s still got it? Or will Lokoma stay on track despite this detour?

Byrne Lokoma w/ Chancellor Cole VS Auru w/ Rusl!

The bell rings and the fans rally up behind “A~RU! A~RU!” Auru and Byrne circle, feel things out, knuckle lock then clinch. They move around, Auru tries to wrangle Byrne but Byrne stays up, and the two reset. They knuckle lock again, go shoulder to shoulder, then use their heads to push the other around. Auru waistlocks but Byrne wrenches to a double wristlock. Byrne hits a takedown to a cover, ONE! Byrne wrenches and hammerlocks but Auru slips around, spins Byrne to snapmare, but Byrne slips out to hammerlock. Byrne keeps on the arm, then bridges over! Auru endures, so Byrne moves around.

Byrne keeps on the hammerlock but Auru fights up. Auru wrenches to wristlock and fans cheer the technical exchange. Byrne rolls, bridges, and then slips through to wrangle Auru. Auru rolls, kips up, and WRINGS Byrne out! Byrne goes to a corner and the fans cheer. Cole coaches Byrne as he and Auru reset again. They feel things out, and Auru gives testing kicks. Byrne gives those back, then they knuckle lock again. Byrne kicks and kicks, but Auru kicks back! They kick and kick and kick, and then Byrne drops back to drop toehold and ANKLE LOCK! Auru endures, Byrne shifts to hook the legs up, and then goes for the arms!

Auru resists, but Byrne still pulls! Up, up and a DOUBLE STOMP on the knees! Cole likes it while fans boo, but Byrne grabs a leg for a GROUND DRAGON SCREW! Auru clutches the leg, kicks at Byrne with the other, but Byrne grabs that leg and drops an elbow on the knee! Auru endures as Byrne shifts into a toehold, and he reaches back to ROPEBREAK! The ref counts, Byrne lets go, but “Oops!” and drops knees on the knee! The fans boo and the ref reprimands but Cole applauds. Byrne stomps Auru around then brings him up in a corner. Byrne CHOKES Auru with his iron hand but the ref reprimands.

The fans boo, Rusl protests and the ref counts. Byrne lets off at 4, then stalks Auru as he sputters. Byrne stomps Auru into a corner, then puts Auru’s right leg in the ropes. The fans boo and the ref reprimands as Byrne pulls on the leg! Rusl protests, shouts at Cole, but the ref gets Byrne to let go. Byrne runs side to side and dropkicks the leg! Auru hobbles and falls out of the corner, Byrne pushes him to a cover, TWO! Auru toughs it out and the fans rally up. Byrne scuffs Auru, kicks him around, but Auru scowls. Auru eggs Byrne on, Byrne kicks him more, but Auru shakes his head. Byrne KICKS and KICKS, but Auru blocks one!

Auru stands up, trips Byrne, and he SWINGS Byrne around! The fans fire up seeing the classic return! They also count along, and Auru goes around and around TEN times! Then Auru steps through and turns Byrne over for a SHARPSHOOTER! The fans fire up while Byrne endures and Cole freaks out! Byrne reaches out, claws his way towards ropes, and Cole coaches him on. ROPEBREAK! The fans boo but Auru lets go quickly. Cole gets Byrne out of the ring but Rusl storms up. The ref has Cole and Rusl both back off, and then Auru WRECKS Byrne with a dropkick! The fans fire up as Auru goes out after Byrne.

Auru brings Byrne around, puts him in the ring, but Cole shouts at Auru. Rusl shouts at Cole, the ref reprimands them both again, but Byrne KICKS the ropes to jam Auru up! The fans boo but Byrne gets the leg and DRAPING DRAGON SCREWS! Auru falls over, Byrne gets his leg for the STRETCH MUFFLER! The fans are torn between booing Byrne and rallying for Auru as he endures! Auru reaches out but Byrne’s between him and the ropes! Auru kicks with his free leg, backstrokes on the mat, moves around, but Byrne drags him back! But Auru uses that to turn and reach another side! ROPEBREAK!

The fans cheer, Byrne lets go in frustration and Cole is fuming. Rusl coaches Auru as Auru drags himself up to his feet with the ropes. Auru hobbles on the bad leg and Byrne storms up on him. Auru keeps his distance, wary of the bad leg. Byrne shoots in to go for said leg and Auru moves back, but just hurts the bad leg and he’s limping more now. Byrne gets Auru cornered and he fires forearms! The ref counts, Auru manages to turn it around to UPPERCUT! And UPPERCUT! And UPPERCUT and UPPERCUT and UPPERCUT! The fans fire up but the ref counts, and Auru lets off to snapmare Byrne.

Auru hops up the corner, shakes out the bad leg, and then FALLING UPPERCUTS! Cover, TWO! Auru is frustrated but he brings Byrne around, only for Byrne to CLUB the bad leg! Auru drops to his knees, and Byrne clamps on the IRON CLAW SLEEPER! Rusl panics and the fans boo but Byrne thrashes Auru around! Auru reaches out but he’s fading! Rusl shouts at Auru to fight, the fans rally as hard as they can, and Auru gets a second wind! Auru fights up to his feet, reaches for ropes again, but Byrne shifts to IRON CLAW BACKBREAKER! Then he drags Auru back up, IRON CLAW SLAM!! Cover, Byrne wins!!

Winner: Byrne Lokoma, by pinfall

The fans can’t believe it, nor can Rusl, but Auru’s return to HPW ends in defeat! Cole laughs at Rusl as he gets in the ring to celebrate with his client. Byrne is back on track, is there no stopping him until he’s reached the top?

Kevin turns things around to ROCK ReDead with a forearm. Kevin wrenches an arm, reels ReDead in and RAMS shoulders with him! Kevin wrenches again, RAMS shoulders again, then whips him to ropes.

Kevin hits buckles, ReDead comes back to CLOBBER him! The fans boo but ReDead says “I’M THE MAAAN~!” Beedle applauds but he’s the only one. Wizzro starts up a “REDEAD SUCKS! REDEAD SUCKS!” chant and that annoys Beedle. ReDead goes back for Kevin, stomps him some, then scrapes him out of the ring. ReDead taunts Wizzro, which distracts the ref, and Beedle sucker punches Kevin! Fans boo, but Kevin doesn’t even flinch!

Kevin glares at Beedle, fans chant “YOU MESSED UP! YOU MESSED UP!” The look on Beedle’s face shows he knows it as Kevin storms up on him. Beedle runs away, bumps into Wizzro, and Beedle shoves Wizzro into Kevin! The fans boo, the ref reprimands, but ReDead runs up to CLOBBER both Kevin and Wizzro!

Cover, but Beedle CLOBBERS the ref! Kevin’s eyes are wide with shock and anger as he glares at Beedle! “YOU MESSED UP! YOU MESSED UP!” and Beedle begs for mercy as Kevin stands up. Kevin grabs Beedle by the neck, so no mercy here!

Wait! Here comes the rest of the UnderWorld Order! The fans boo as Scaldera, Gomess and Death Sword rush down to the ring! Kevin shoves Beedle at Scaldera to knock him off the apron!

The fans boo but ReDead laughs and soaks it all up! It took the whole team but he still beat down his former friend, again! Wait, the King of Hyrule steps out on stage! Nicholas Foolyere has a mic, and he tells everyone, “Hold it, hold it, hold it! Why is it, that every time I turn around, the UnderWorld Order is up to no good?” ReDead still has a smug smile on his face while the belt rests on his shoulder. But Nick Fooly says he can wipe that smile off his face, because now the uWo faces the consequences. Did ReDead forget that next month is May? And that for HPW, May doesn’t just mean rain, it means… BLOOD & THUNDER!?

The fans go nuts as the graphic is on screen! ReDead does stop smiling as Nick continues. “Let’s see, we’ve got four uWo, and we’ve got four Dark Forces. So for the first time ever, Blood & Thunder will be four against four, no less and no more! And if you wanna ask why you’re gonna go through with this, I’ll give you a reason why! The winning side of that match gets to have whatever title matches they want after that!” The fans like the sound of that, and so do both factions. Nick says one way or another, someone’s paying the price for gold. Who survives the storm to shine in the sun?

Aveil runs, PENALTY KICKS, then Riju adds a SLIDING FOREARM! Aveil springboards to IMPLODER SPLASH! Cover, TWO! Yunobo is tougher than that, but Riju’s more upset Aveil even went for the pin! Aveil apologizes, they storm up on Yunobo together, but he DOUBLE BACK DROPS them!

Riju fires off body shots and fast hands, then a SOBAT! Riju whips Yunobo reverses to TOSS Riju up and out onto Aveil! The fans are torn again while the Gerudo get to their feet, and Yunobo builds speed!? But then he slows down to a stop, not confident enough to tope. He instead steps out onto the apron, takes aim, and CANNONBALL FLOPS as Aveil pulls Riju outta the way! They then get Yunobo up and DUMP him over barriers, into the timekeeper’s area!

The fans fire up, and then Riju and Aveil realize it’s just the two of them. They both slowly go to the ring and slide in, and fans rally as the two circle. They tie up, Riju wrenches, wristlocks, but Aveil switches around to waistlock and SLAM! Aveil holds on as Riju sits up. Riju pries the hold and switches, but Aveil switches right back. They stand, Riju wrenches free to hammerlock then headlock. Aveil powers up and out, then she runs Riju over! But then Riju kips right up! Aveil swings but Riju blocks to wrench and whip.

The fans lose their minds all over again as Yunobo covers, TWO?!?! Aveil survives and shocks everyone, especially Yunobo! Yunobo stands up to loom over Aveil, but then Riju springboards in to CROSSBODY! Direct hit, but Yunobo rolls through with it! Yunobo pops Riju up to a fireman’s carry, Aveil stands up, and Yunobo scoops her! FALL AWAY GORON DROP COMBO!! Aveil tumbles away, Yunobo carries Riju, TWO!! Yunobo is getting frustrated now!

Yunobo drags Riju up, whips her to ropes, but Riju tilt-o-whirls! Only for Yunobo to block the DDT! Yunobo throws Riju away, runs up, but Riju drop toeholds! Yunobo stays up, though! Aveil springboards in, FLYING CODE BREAKER! Riju rolls Yunobo up, but then Aveil rolls Riju up! TWO!! Riju SHOTEIS Aveil! Riju roars, runs, but into a SHEIKAH FLY!! Cover, Yunobo SENTONS it apart!! The fans are thunderously declaring “This is Awesome!” while all three are down! Wait, why’s Tali coming out here? She hurries down the ramp and to ringside. She’s coaching on the Gerudo Sisterhood as they and Yunobo stir.

Riju sits up and sees Tali. Riju asks what Tali’s doing out here, Tali says she’s cheering them on. Yunobo stands first, but Aveil follows. Aveil CHOPS Yunobo, Riju fires a forearm, they both mug Yunobo then double whip. And Tali trips Yunobo, but that messes up what the others were planning! They complain to Tali and Tali apologizes! Sahasrahla reprimands, Tali backs off, and the others bring Yunobo back up. They double wrench then double whip the other direction, to then KICK, AX KICK, BULLDOG and BASEMENT DROPKICK! But when it comes time to cover, the two hesitate. So they rock-paper-scissors! Aveil uses scissors to beat paper!

Aveil runs to the ropes to LYNEL-SAULT! Cover, TWO! Riju and Aveil coordinate, they wait on Yunobo to sit up. SLIDING D GAMANGIRI COMBO! Cover, TWO! Yunobo is still in this but Riju & Aveil work to drag him into a drop zone. Aveil goes up the corner while Riju goes out to the apron. Aveil MOONSAULTS onto Yunobo! Cover, TWO! Riju’s up top now, Aveil keeps Yunobo down, and then moves so Riju can ULTIMATE ELBOW DROP!! Cover, TWO?!? No one can believe Yunobo survives, and Tali is furious! Tali gets on the apron and says she wants to help. Riju says okay but Aveil says no! And they’re both surprised by the other!

Tali steps in, Aveil again says no, and now the three of them are arguing about this! Riju and Tali argue that it’s a Triple Threat, this isn’t cheating! But Aveil says that’s semantics! Triple Threats are No Disqualifications, but how would they feel if someone was helping Yunobo? But then speaking of Yunobo, he’s back up! And he runs in to CLOBBER all three Gerudo! The fans boo but Yunobo just drags Riju back up! Yunobo reels her in and lifts her up, to SITOUT POWERBOMB!! Cover, but Aveil basement dropkicks it apart! The fans are thunderous again while Aveil throws down hands on Yunobo!

Tali gets up in the corner, and she tells Aveil to set Yunobo up! Aveil hesitates, Tali tells her to just do it, and the fans seem to agree! Aveil gives in and she drags Yunobo up.

Tali goes after Yunobo, but he fireman’s carries her to GORON DROP onto Aveil!! Yunobo covers Aveil, YUNOBO WINS!!

Winner: Yunobo, by pinfall (2024 Triforce Tournament winner)

Fans can’t believe it, but in the end, the third-generation Goron survives taking on three Gerudo! The Sisterhood regroups on the outside, and clearly with a lot to figure out. As for Yunobo, Nicholas Foolyere is back to personally hand him the trophy. The fans are torn as Yunobo raises the trophy up over his head, with about 66% or maybe even 75% booing. Yunobo’s a little confused and disheartened by it, but Nick Fooly encourages him while handing him a mic. Yunobo nods and takes the mic. “I just wanna say-” The booing gets louder? Yunobo is again taken aback, but he starts again.

“I just wanna say, uh, that I wanna thank my grandfather, Daruk! H-He and my father trained me to be the… the best! Not just the best in our family, o-or the best Goron wrestler, but the best of all wrestlers! I, uh, I hope this trophy is proof I’m on the right track. Though, I guess I still have to win the world title first. S-So, uh, Link! If you’re watching, um, I guess I’ll see you soon. Good luck, and may the best wrestler win!” Yunobo’s confidence is up and he smiles as he lifts the trophy again. The streamers fly, the fans still cheer the moment, but will Yunobo have an even bigger moment in May?

My Thoughts:

Another under-the-wire just-in-time article here. I really should’ve planned for the March article to be earlier so that I’d have more time between them. I also had to iron out some details in other stories, I keep letting the Trios Division slip through my fingers. But I think HPW’s first 4v4 WarGames will be a good adjustment after missing out on setting up a good 3v3v3. Also, certainly for the “live audience” there, this was probably a real bummer for most with not so much all Heels but all “unwanted” results happening. Hopefully you, the real audience of readers, at least find these twists and turns intriguing.

PC Tunney

The Bandwagon is stripped down this week as Dave and PC Tunney helm the ship for a big week in the Nerdosphere. Naturally, we are covering Thunderbolts as Dave, Tunney (and the rest of the Bandwagon, for that matter) all saw the latest entry into the MCU. What was the consensus, and did the longest post-credit scene in MCU history push the Universe in the right direction? In other MCU News, we discovered why Hawkeye had no second season. From there, the guys head into the Trailer Park to look at the latest, including a sizzle reel for Netflix’s TUDUM event, Dwayne “The Rock ” Johnson’s latest movie, The Smashing Machine, and a very creepy look at Weapons. GTA 6 got delayed, again….but could that be a blessing in disguise? But this Episode was recorded on Star Wars Day, and to commemorate the event, Dave tries his best to convince Tunney to watch Andor, while Tunney tells Dave what he likes most about one of the most successful franchises of all time. All that, plus Dave tells you why The Last of Us is the best show anywhere on TV. Dave & Tunney cover a lot of ground in an action-packed episode of BWN, so make sure you tune in!

Undisputed HPW Triforce World Championship: Zelda VS GANON; Zelda wins and retains the title.

PLAY BY PLAY

HPW and HXT TV set the scene!

I’m gonna live till I die! I’m gonna laugh ‘stead of cry!

While Zelda finally won the Undisputed HPW Triforce World Championship through an epic all-timer with Link, elation soon turned to despair as Ganon and the Dark Forces attacked. Link was left a bloody mess while Zelda was an emotional wreck, but now is the chance to make Ganon pay for it all! Will there be no more tears as the Princess of Hyrule shows the Gerudo Ace no mercy? Or will the blue skies of Spring be clouded by a new reign of terror? Meanwhile, Yunobo won a title shot of his own through the 21 Person Battle Royal, and he has chosen to climb Death Mountain like his grandfather before him! The Ruler of Ruin stands at the peak, will he keep Yunobo from the summit?

But first! The schedule may have changed, but the storm that is ThunderStruck is still on the horizon. The Dark Forces hold the HPW World Trios Championships, and they welcome one and all to come after the gold! Two big trios matches have been made, but who will be rumbling into Blood & Thunder? HPW Wrestling Is Life on Tarm Point in Lanayru Bay starts now!

HPW World Trios Championships Blood & Thunder Qualifier: Arrow Club VS TSDQ!

These teams have battled quite a few times in the past, the trios titles at the heart of it. But now, they battle again in order to step inside the dreaded double cage that is Blood & Thunder! Who falls short while the other team is ThunderStruck?

Arrow Club is going with a very different trio this time, as the Young Ducks aren’t part of it at all! It’s Fin Balure, Bad Croc Scaly & Torbevito! They match up part for part with Groose, Skull Kid & Tingle, and the Faces of Evil when you think about it. The trios sort out, and while Groose calls out Fin, Fin mockingly says, “One second.” Then Fin steps outside the ring, letting Torbevito start against Groose. The bell rings and the fans duel, “T D S Q!” “ARROW CLUB!” Groose and Torbevito circle, feel things out, and they tie up. Groose powers Torbevito to the ropes, the ref calls the ropebreak, and Groose slowly lets off.

The fans applaud as Groose backs up and the two reset. Groose and Torbevito circle again, tie up again, and Groose puts Torbevito back on the ropes. Torbevito turns things around, the ref counts the break again, and Torbevito lets off slowly. But then he CHOPS! The fans fire up but Groose scowls while Torbevito backs off. Groose and Torbevito reset, circle, and Torbevito gets around Groose to CLUB him on the back. Torbevito headlocks, grinds the hold, but Groose powers up to lift him! Torbevito thrashes to keep the headlock on, but Groose fires body shots. Groose powers up and out, but Torbevito grabs the ropes.

Groose runs up, Torbevito dodges to roll Groose up! TWO, Torbevito runs to tilt-o-whirl and RANA Groose away! The fans are torn while Groose stands up at the ropes. Torbevito runs up, Groose pops him up to a Hebra Lift! Groose brings Torbevito around, but Torbevito flails! Torbevito sunset flips through, but Groose stays up! Groose YANKS Torbevito up off the ground, right into an atomic drop! Groose whips Torbevito to the Studly corner, then runs up to LARIAT! The fans cheer, Groose tags Skull Kid, and Groose keeps Torbevito corner while Skull Kid runs side to side. Skull Kid runs in and ELBOWS Torbevito in the corner!

The fans cheer while Skull Kid has Torbevito on the ropes. Skull Kid kicks Torbevito, whips him, but Torbevito reverses to then kick, KICK, wrench and SUPERKICK! Cover, TWO! Skull Kid is tougher than that, but Torbevito clamps onto Skull Kid with a chinlock. The fans rally while Skull Kid endures. Skull Kid fights up, powers up and out, but Fin sneaks a tag. Torbevito then slides out, taunts Skull Kid, and Fin rolls Skull Kid up! TWO, Skull Kid gets up, but Fin CHOPS him! The fans cheer and Fin CHOPS again! Fin puts Skull Kid in the Arrow Club corner, stomps him down, then digs his boots in. The ref counts, Fin tags Scaly, and Arrow Club backs up.

Scaly taunts Tingle & Groose as he whips Torbevito at Skull Kid for an ELBOW! Scaly sends Fin in for a CHOP! Torbevito & Fin send Skull Kid to Scaly for a fireman’s carry and GORON DROP! Cover, TWO! Skull Kid stays in this but Scaly stays on him with a chinlock and grinds him down. The fans rally as Skull Kid endures again. Scaly drags Skull Kid over to the Arrow Club corner and Torbevito tags in. They mug Skull Kid while fans duel. Torbevito kicks Skull Kid to the ropes, CHOKES him, but the ref reprimands. Torbevito lets off at 4 to argue with the ref, and that lets Fin sucker punch Skull Kid! Fans boo but Fin plays innocent.

Torbevito drags Skull Kid up, snapmares, then KICKS him in the back! Skull Kid writhes, the fans rally, but Torbevito pushes him down for a cover. TWO, and Torbevito clamps on another chinlock. Skull Kid endures, even as Torbevito digs a knee into his back. The fans rally, Skull Kid reaches out, but Torbevito then JAMS him in the back with his knee! Torbevito pulls back on the chinlock but Skull Kid still endures! The fans rally more, Skull Kid fights up, and he JAWBREAKERS free! Torbevito staggers, hurries back and he grabs Skull Kid’s foot! Skull Kid crawls, Torbevito drags him back, but Skull Kid turns over and BOOTS Torbevito away!

Torbevito flounders, Skull Kid scrambles, hot tags to Groose and Fin! The fans fire up as Groose CLOBBERS Fin, then ELBOWS Scaly! Groose runs up on Fin to CLOBBER him again! The fans fire up more and Groose waits on Fin to get up. Groose JABS! JABS! JABS! The fans chant “GROOSE! GROOSE! GROOSE!” and then Groose winds up, but Fin ducks the right hand! Fin runs and comes back to SLINGBLADE! Tingle runs in and HIP ATTACKS! The fans fire up, but Scaly storms up! Tingle dodges, comes back, HIP- atomic drop! Tingle clutches his butt as he hobbles, and then Scaly brings him around to short arm LARIAT!

Skull Kid springboards and MISSILE DROPKICKS Scaly! Torbevito tilt-o-whirl RANAS, but Skull Kid handsprings through!? Even Skull Kid seems surprised he did that! Torbevito runs up, Skull Kid dodges, and DOUBLE CROSSBODIES collide! The fans fire up as all six men are down! The others bail out, leaving Groose and Fin in the ring. Groose storms up on Fin, but Fin bobs ‘n’ weaves to then ROCK Groose with a forearm! And then CHOP! Fin whips, Groose reverses, Fin SLING- NO, Groose stops the slingblade to hit a BIG back suplex! Groose roars, the fans fire up, and Groose stalks Fin. Groose has the chicken wings!

Fin fights the turn, but Groose powers through! LOFT- NO, Scaly grabs Groose by the head! Thumbs up for the- NO, Groose ducks the Grenade, and Scaly narrowly avoids hitting Fin with it! Groose turns Scaly around, RIGHT HAND O’ THE GODDESS! The fans fire up as Scaly falls over, but Fin kicks Groose low! Fin reels Groose in, DEPTH CHARGE! Groose is in the drop zone and Fin climbs up. Skull Kid is on the apron but Torbevito runs up, FLYING RANA to the floor! The fans lose their minds, and then Fin hits a COUP DE GRACE on Groose! Cover, Arrow Club wins!

Winners: Arrow Club, by pinfall (advances to ThunderStruck)

The hybrid combination is a winning combination, and now Arrow Club is aimed right at the HPW World Trios Championships! Will Fin, Scaly & Torbevito soon reign together?

HPW Death Mountain Championship: Igos du Ikana VS Yunobo!

The Ruler of Ruin says the third generation Goron wrestler is not ready to “climb the mountain” that is his family’s legacy. Igos has led Termina Championship Wrestling, has held the weight of these titles, but will he break Yunobo’s will? Or will Yunobo Goro Goro go right to the top?

The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see who can carry that weight!

HyruleProWrestling DeathMountainTitleNew Igos

The bell rings and the fans rally up as the two stare down. They circle as the fans duel, “Let’s Go, Igos!” “YU-NO-BO!” Yunobo is a little flustered, but he and Igos circle. They feel things out, tie up, and Igos wrenches to a wristlock. Yunobo endures, reaches out for ropes, but Igos keeps him back. Igos UPPERCUTS the arm, then YANKS it! The fans rally, Yunobo works at an escape, and he rolls, only for Igos to roll with him! Igos twists the wrist, Yunobo reaches out for ropes again, but again Igos yanks him away. Yunobo rolls again, but Igos rolls with him again! Yunobo gets annoyed, and he rolls, rolls, rolls, and then gets free!

The fans applaud this opening exchange while Yunobo shakes out the arm. Igos and Yunobo reset and circle again. They feel things out, Yunobo calls for knuckle locks, and Igos obliges. But then Igos kicks low! Igos throws forearms, but Yunobo just stands his ground! Igos SOBATS, then front KICKS! Igos whips, but Yunobo blocks it! Yunobo shakes his head, then whips Igos to the ropes. Yunobo fireman’s carries, but Igos slips free! ROUNDHOUSE! Yunobo staggers, Igos aims, and Yunobo narrowly avoids Elegy of the Empty! The fans go nuts from that near miss, Yunobo is in a corner, and Igos signals that it was that close.

Yunobo calms down, resets with Igos, and circles with him again. They feel things out, Yunobo avoids a kick, then he storms up. Yunobo RAMS Igos into a corner, the ref counts, but Yunobo RAMS Igos again! Yunobo digs his shoulder in, the ref counts again, Igos throws down elbows, but Yunobo picks Igos up and runs him corner to corner! Yunobo RAMS Igos in again, the fans fire up, and Yunobo again digs his shoulder in. The ref counts again, Yunobo lets off, then reels Igos in for a fireman’s carry, GORON DROP! Cover, TWO! The fans rally as Igos stays in this. Yunobo sits Igos up and clamps on a chinlock.

The fans duel as Igos endures. Igos reaches back, bridges up, and he snapmares free! Igos then KICKS Yunobo in the back! The fans are torn and Yunobo seethes. Igos KICKS Yunobo in the back again! Yunobo still snarls at Igos, his defiant glare egging Igos on. Igos runs to PENALTY- NO, Yunobo blocks the kick! Yunobo rolls back and wrenches the leg for a takedown! HALF CRAB! The fans fire up while Igos endures again! Igos reaches out, but Yunobo drags him from the ropes! Igos turns over and he kicks at Yunobo. Yunobo lets go and staggers back, Igos kips up and storms up to fire strikes on Yunobo against the ropes!

The fans rally and duel, the ref counts, and Igos lets off at 4. Then Igos sweeps the legs! Yunobo falls on his stomach, then flops out of the ring! The fans fire up, and Igos builds speed?! Yunobo hurries out of the way, but Igos springboards to backflip and sit down cross-legged! The fans fire up as Igos stares Yunobo down. Yunobo is a bit flustered again, but he calms down as he slowly approaches the apron. The two stare down even as Yunobo slowly steps inside. Yunobo then rushes forward, but Igos ducks the sliding lariat! Igos kips up, KNEES Yunobo low, drop toeholds, then floats to go after an arm!

The fans rally as Yunobo fights against the Fujiwara Armbar, so Igos shifts to hook that arm and the other to then turn Yunobo over to a backslide! TWO as they tip over, arms still hooked! They fight up, Yunobo hooks Igos’ arms, and lifts Igos into a Goro Especial! Igos endures as Yunobo pulls on his arms! The fans rally, Igos fights free to sunset flip! Yunobo rolls through, then rolls forward to bring Igos up in a Hebra Lift! Igos fights with elbows and now he has Yunobo in position. Igos KNEES Yunobo again, then fires off the strike fest! IKANA RUSH! Yunobo staggers, drops to his knees, and Igos BLINDSIDE BUZZSAWS! Cover, TWO!

The fans fire up as Yunobo stays in this, but Igos is stoic as ever. Igos goes after the arm again! FUJIWARA ARMBAR! The fans fire up and Yunobo endures while Igos pulls on the arm! Yunobo fights his way around, reaches out, but Igos shifts around to a MOUNTED ARMBAR! Igos uses a cording hold grip to really pull on the arm! The fans fire up more as Yunobo still endures! Yunobo grits his teeth, and is he glowing now? Yunobo claws at the mat and drags Igos along, and manages the ROPEBREAK! The fans cheer, but Igos holds on! The ref counts, Igos lets go at 4 and stands over Yunobo. But then he rolls to THROW Yunobo into a standard ARMBAR!

The fans fire up as Yunobo endures all over again! Yunobo works to clasp hands, but Igos pulls harder on the arm! Yunobo fights around, reaches out for ropes, but Igos shifts things back to the MOUNTED ARMBAR! But Yunobo rolls through to high stack Igos! TWO, and Yunobo deadlifts Igos, to SIT OUT POWERBOMB! Cover, TWO!! Igos survives, both men are down, and the fans are thunderous! Yunobo and Igos slowly rise up, and Yunobo shakes out the bad arm. Yunobo storms up on Igos and GORON UPPERCUTS! Igos wobbles, but he comes back to KICK Yunobo in the bad arm! Yunobo GORO UPPERS again!

The GORO UPPERS and KICKS to the arm go back and forth, again and again, and then Igos KICKS, KICKS, and KICKS! Yunobo staggers while clutching the bad arm, and then Igos BOOTS Yunobo to the ropes. Yunobo rebounds and Igos SPIN JUMP KNEES! Yunobo falls, Igos covers, TWO! Yunobo is still in this, and he might be glowing again! The fans fire up as Yunobo fires up! Igos is a bit wary, but he swings on Yunobo. Yunobo just takes the haymakers! Then he HEADBUTTS Igos! Igos wobbles, Yunobo rushes him to the ropes and whips him, then scoops Igos for a SPIN OUT SIDEWALK SLAM! Yunobo roars and the fans fire up!

Yunobo runs and rolls, ROLLING THUNDER! Cover, TWO! Igos survives but Yunobo roars and goes to the corner! The fans fire up as Igos coughs and sputters. Yunobo runs up, GORO GORO- NO, Igos leaps over! Yunobo staggers up, turns around, ELEGY OF EMPTINESS!! Cover, Igos wins!

Winner: Igos du Ikana, by pinfall (still HPW Death Mountain Champion)

If you blinked, you would’ve missed it! But was this proof Yunobo wasn’t ready? Or was he just that close to reaching the top?

HPW World Trios Championships Blood & Thunder Qualifier: Los Taros Locos VS Cia, Lana & ???

With ThunderStruck on the horizon, we need three trios for the double cage, double ring demolition derby! But while Blanco, Rojo y Azul are all known factors of speed, strength and aggression, the Dark Sorceress and her bright and bubbly sister have been keeping this one close to the vest. But now is the moment of truth, who is their ace in the hole? IT’S MIDNA!! The fans go wild for the return of the Twilight Princess! Will Midna, Cia & Lana be rolling like thunder into Thundra Plateau?

The trios sort out and Azul starts against Cia. The fans rally up as the two circle. They feel things out, tie up, and Cia wrenches to a wristlock. Azul endures, reaches out for the ropes, but Cia keeps him away. Azul works on his escape, and he rolls, rolls back, and handsprings to then arm-drag Cia away! The fans applaud as the two stand off. They reset, circle again, but Midna tags in? The fans cheer but Cia is a bit annoyed that Midna did that. Midna steps up to Azul, they tie up, and Midna wrenches and hammerlocks Azul to headlock and hit the takeover. Azul headscissors, Midna kips free, and Azul headlocks for a takeover.

Midna headscissors, and she keeps Azul down as she squeezes tight. The fans rally as Midna turns over to THROW Azul, then turn over to THROW him again! Midna then crawls backwards, over to her corner, bringing Azul along! Midna reaches out to Cia, Cia tags back in, and Cia grabs Azul’s leg. GROUND DRAGON SCREW! Azul writhes in pain but Midna still has the headscissors on him! The ref counts, Midna lets Azul go at 4, then Cia drags Azul to a cover, TWO! Azul crawls for his corner but Cia grabs his leg again. Cia drags Azul away from his corner, then SMASHES his knee on the mat! Cia reaches out, but Midna snipes the tag!

The fans are torn and Cia is again annoyed. Midna takes one of Azul’s legs, stomps it, then YANKS it! Azul writhes, goes to an open corner, but Midna stomps a mudhole in. Midna digs her boot in, the ref reprimands and counts, so Midna stops at 4. Midna runs side to side, Cia tags herself back in! Midna stops short and looks at Cia. The fans are torn as Cia and Midna argue a bit. Lana wants them to calm down, and then she points out Azul is crawling for his corner! Midna and Cia both run to stomp him down! They drag Azul up, double whip, but Azul grabs the ropes to stop himself! Cia runs up but Azul dodges!

Azul slips around Midna, redirects her, and Rojo sneaks a tag before Azul goes back to RANA Midna! Cia ROCKS Azul, but Rojo springboards to MISSILE DROPKICK! Cia tumbles, both she and Midna end up on the outside! Lana hurries in, but Rojo dodges her to DIVE onto both Midna & Cia! They’re both sent into the commentary desk! Rusl is glad he went with a tumbler cup this time. Rojo hurries back into the ring, slips around Lana and shoves her to the ropes. Lana rebounds, but into a RANA! The fans fire up with Rojo, but Cia returns to CHOP Rojo! The fans fire up and “WOO~” while Cia puts Rojo in the corner.

Cia CHOPS Rojo again, “WOO~!” and Cia stomps Rojo down. The ref counts, Midna tags in, which again annoys Cia. Midna has Cia & Lana coordinate, and Midna taunts Blanco. Midna then whips Lana in and she ELBOWS Rojo! Lana sits Rojo down, Midna whips Cia in, METEORA! Cia & Lana drag Rojo up to double whip him at Midna, only for Rojo to leap over her spear! Hot tag to Blanco! The fans are torn as Blanco rallies on Midna’s team! LARIAT for Midna, LARIAT for Lana, LARIAT for Midna again, then LARIAT for Cia! The fans fire up with Blanco, and he waits on Midna. Midna stands up, takes a swing, but Blanco dodges and HEADBUTTS!

Blanco whips Midna to the Taros corner, then runs up to LARIAT! Tag to Azul, then Azul tags Rojo. Blanco whips Azul in and he ELBOWS Midna! Azul bails out, Blanco whips Rojo in and Rojo LARIATS! Rojo slips out, Blanco runs in, DOUBLE KNEE DOUBLE ENZIGIRI COMBO! The fans fire up but the ref reprimands. Blanco and Azul step out, Rojo digs his boots in, but the ref counts. Rojo steps off at 4, tags Azul back in, and they drag Midna out of the corner. They then turn her around and hook up the legs to roll and THROW Midna! Rojo keeps a hold of a leg for a leglock, the ref reprimands, but Azul sets up for a STANDING MOONSAULT! Rojo lets go, Azul covers, TWO!

The fans cheer but Azul drags Midna right up. Midna fires body shots, then reaches for her corner, but Azul keeps her back with a wristlock. Midna flails, the fans rally, and Midna ROCKS Azul. Midna reaches out again, but Azul holds on tight. Azul whips Midna back to the Taros corner, but she BLASTS Rojo off the apron! Midna takes a swing on Blanco but he drops back. Azul runs up to GAMANGIRI! Azul snapmares and covers, TWO! Azul stays between Midna and her corner, then RAMS her back into the Taros corner. Blanco y Rojo join in and mug Midna! The fans boo now, the ref reprimands, and the Taros let off.

Azul argues with the ref, but this is a distraction to let Rojo y Blanco drag Midna down! Rojo stomps away, the fans boo, but Blanco grabs some camera cord to LASH Midna! The fans boo more, Blanco LASHES Midna again, but then he and Rojo back off before the ref catches them. Azul goes out to drag Midna back into the ring. Azul covers, TWO! The fans cheer but Azul keeps Midna down with a chinlock. The fans rally as Midna endures, but Azul grinds her down. Midna fights up, fires body shots, then lifts Azul for a back suplex! But Azul lands out! Azul ROCKS Midna! Midna ROCKS Azul! Azul SOBATS! And front KICKS!

Azul spins, but Midna SLAPS Azul! And SLAPS, SLAPS, SLAPS! Midna CHOPS Azul off his feet! But Azul kips right up and ENZIGIRIS Midna! But Midna BOOTS in return! Both are down and the fans fire up! “This is Awesome!” as both Midna and Azul crawl. Hot tags to Blanco and Cia! Cia dodges Blanco to DROPKICK Rojo off the corner! Cia then runs up on Blanco, tilt-o-whirls, and RANAS! Cia tags Lana while Blanco staggers to his feet. Cia & Lana hold hands to DOUBLE LARIAT! The fans fire up with the sisters, and they wait on Blanco to get back up. Blanco stumbles to his feet, but Midna storms in?!

Midna SPEARS Azul down! The fans fire up, Midna tells the sisters to finish it, and Cia reels Blanco in for a FLAPJACK into Lana’s CUTTER! Cover, Lana’s team wins!

Winners: Cia, Lana & Midna, by pinfall (advances to ThunderStruck)

Cia & Lana took Blanco to the “Fourth Dimension,” and that now sends them and Midna to Thundra Plateau! Though, Midna does seem to be taking a lot of the credit for this win. Will the Twilight Princess learn to share the spotlight now that they’re going for the trios titles?

Undisputed HPW Triforce World Championship: Zelda VS GANON!

The Princess of Hyrule finally won THE top title in Hyrule, only for The Dark Forces to trample all over her moment. Link is still bedridden from what they did to him, and Zelda has vowed vengeance! But will Zelda be able to keep her emotions in check to also keep the title? Or will the Gerudo Ace continue to ruin everything?

The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see what it takes to be undisputed!

HyruleProWrestling TriforceChampionshipUNDISPUTED

The bell rings, and the fans rally behind Zelda while the two stare down. They slowly circle, the fans cheer Zelda harder, and the two feel things out. The two then storm up and start throwing hands! Ganon CHOPS Zelda down, but she’s right up to UPPERCUT! Ganon CHOPS again, then eggs Zelda on! Zelda UPPERCUTS, Ganon CHOPS her back down, then deadlift suplexes and THROWS Zelda! Ganon stomps Zelda, then stands her up to UPPERCUT! Zelda goes to ropes, Ganon runs, but Zelda runs up to UPPERCUT Ganon! Ganon tumbles right out of the ring and the fans are thunderous as Zelda pursues!

Ganon staggers to a railing, Zelda laces Ganon’s arm through it, and then BOOTS the railing! Ganon falls over, clutching his arm! The fans want that “One More Time!” but Zelda wrenches, twists, and STOMPS Ganon’s bad arm! The fans fire up and even sing for “ZELDA~! ZELDA, ZELDA, ZELDA~!” but Ganon CHOPS again! Ganon scoops Zelda to SLAM her on the apron! The fans continue to sing but Ganon snarls. Referee Tiger Sahasrahla reprimands, Ganon refreshes the ring count, then tells Sahasrahla to “unclench.” Ganon moves the apron skirt out of the way, and swings Zelda underneath the ring! To then CATAPULT her into the frame!

The fans boo while Ganon huffs ‘n’ puffs and rises up. Ganon flips off the fans, then he tells another segment to move aside. Ganon scoops, Zelda lands safe on the other side of the railing, and then uses the railing as part of an IRON OCTOROK! The fans fire up as Ganon suffers while Sahasrahla reprimands! The fans now start to chant, “Mess him up, Zelda, mess him up!” The ring count rises again, Zelda lets go and refreshes the count. Zelda goes back but Ganon CHOPS her! Ganon puts Zelda in the ring, storms in, but Zelda fires UPPERCUT after UPPERCUT! Zelda wrenches an arm and grinds her elbow into the shoulder!

Zelda pulls on the arm, powers it into a hammerlock, and she wants to put it on the mat! Ganon fights back and rises up, only for Zelda to shift to a top wristlock! Zelda bends Ganon’s fingers! Ganon still endures, whips Zelda away, but Zelda goes up, comes back, but into a POP-UP POWERBOMB!! Ganon clutches the bad arm while Zelda writhes!

Ganon avoids the roundhouse but not the LEG SWEEP!

Zelda then runs, and PENALTY KICKS Ganon down! Cover, TWO! Ganon snarls as he rises back up, but Zelda eggs him on. Ganon swings, Zelda blocks it and wrenches, but Ganon RAMS Zelda into a corner, for another OVERHEAD BELLY2BELLY! Zelda flounders, Ganon storms up, and Ganon CHOKES Zelda! The fans boo, Sahasrahla reprimands, but Ganon deadlifts Zelda right up with both hands! But Zelda breaks free and has an ARMBAR! Ganon stays on his feet while the fans fire up, so Zelda shifts to the TRIANGLE HOLD! Ganon deadlifts again, but Zelda twists the arm into a KIMURA!!

Ganon drops to the mat, Zelda keeps the bad arm trapped with leg scissors, and then she grabs for Ganon’s right arm! Ganon flails but Zelda still gets a grip, and she bends fingers in order to pull the arm back! Ganon fights around, reaches out with his legs, and manages the ROPEBREAK! Sahasrahla counts, Zelda lets go at 4, but only of the right arm! Sahasrahla reprimands and counts again, so Zelda lets go of the left arm. Ganon bails out of the ring to shake out both arms. Zelda lines up the shot, builds speed, and she DIVES! Direct hit and the fans fire up for this shoutout to Link! Zelda slides back in and builds speed again, to DIVE!

The fans fire up for a second direct hit! But Zelda isn’t done as she hurries back into the ring. Zelda builds speed a third time, DIVES, but Ganon THROWS her into the railing!! The fans lose their minds, especially the front row in that section! Zelda is down in a heap and Ganon snarls as he looks down on her. Ganon then storms over, drags Zelda up and pushes her into the ring. Ganon stalks Zelda, then waistlocks to GERMAN SUPLEX! The fans boo but Ganon stalks Zelda again.

Ganon THROWS Zelda away, then runs up, only for Zelda to duck the boot! Zelda comes back to CHOP BLOCK! Ganon drops to his knees, and Zelda clamps on for the IMPA LOCK!! The fans fire up as Ganon falls back into the body scissors! Ganon flails, kicks around, reaches out, but Zelda’s got him near the center. Ganon claws at the body scissors and pries free! Ganon kicks his way over to the ROPEBREAK! The fans boo but Zelda holds on!

Sahasrahla reprimands Zelda then counts! Zelda lets go at 4, then stomps away on Ganon at the ropes! The fans fire up but Sahasrahla again reprimands. Sahasrahla counts, Zelda just stomps harder and harder, so Sahasrahla pulls Zelda away from Ganon! The fans boo, Zelda argues with Sahasrahla, and he says Zelda has to obey the rules. Zelda pushes past Sahasrahla to go after Ganon, but he’s on the apron. Zelda grabs at Ganon through the ropes, but he HOTSHOTS her down! Ganon then drags Zelda out, brings her in and lifts! APRON POWERBOMB!! The fans lose their minds while Zelda falls to the floor in a heap!

Sahasrahla reprimands Ganon now but he drags Zelda up and into the ring again. Ganon reels Zelda back in for a GANON BOMB!! The fans boo as Ganon high stack covers, TWO?!?! Zelda survives and shocks everyone, most of all Ganon! Ganon argues with Sahasrahla about the count but Sahasrahla defends it. Ganon accuses Sahasrahla of favoritism, but Sahasrahla brings up how he stopped Zelda. Ganon goes back to Zelda and drags her up again. Ganon tells her she should’ve just forfeited. Ganon whips Zelda to ropes, POP-UP POWER- DDT!! Zelda brings Ganon down, and then turns that into a GUILLOTINE FACELOCK, with body scissors!

The fans are thunderous as Ganon is stuck again! Ganon fights and flails around, but he’s so far from the ropes! Ganon pushes up off the mat, tries to stack Zelda in that position, but she just cranks on the hold even harder! Ganon reaches out, but he looks to be fading! Sahasrahla checks Ganon, lifts his arm, but then Ganon GRABS Sahasrahla!! The fans boo and Sahasrahla reprimands but Ganon isn’t letting go! Ganon stands up while Sahasrahla tries to shake him off, and Ganon SHOVES Saharahla down before he SPINEBUSTERS Zelda! Zelda lets go of the hold, but Sahasrahla flops out of the ring and to the floor!

The fans boo as hard as they can as Ganon now stands tall. Ganon looms over Zelda while he soaks up all that heat. Ganon then goes to a corner, and he rips away the buckle pads! Ganon goes back to Zelda, sits her up, and tells her she’ll be spending a lot more time with Link from now on, because they’ll both be sidelined! Ganon reels Zelda in, aims for the corner, but wait! Who is that at the corner? They’re in a hooded jacket but the “dirty blonde” hair peeking out… The hood comes off and IT’S LINK!! Link stares daggers at Ganon and Ganon looks like he’s seen a ghost! Link SUPERKICKS Ganon!

Ganon sputters, Zelda slips around behind and REQUIEM OF SPIRIT! Link then goes around the outside to fetch Sahasrahla into the ring. Zelda drags Ganon into a half hatch, and bridges for a Chancery!! Ganon sputters and flails, but he’s fading again! Ganon’s greenish face is going red! Sahasrahla checks on Ganon, and this time, Ganon is OUT!! ZELDA WINS!!

Winner: Zelda, by submission (still Undisputed HPW Triforce World Champion)

The Hero of Hyrule returns to get his revenge on Ganon, and the Princess of Hyrule still reigns! Link then raises Zelda’s hand in victory, to LARIAT HER?!? The fans freak out all over again, but then Link looks into the cameras. He has an evil smile, and then he brings his hand to his eyes, and takes out contact lenses!? He has RED EYES! THIS ISN’T LINK, IT’S KAGE!! The Hero’s Shadow tricked everyone, and now he’s back! Will Zelda’s soon be overshadowed?

My Thoughts:

What a twist! I’d been waiting for a chance to bring Kage back into the story, and here we are! And he calls his shot against Zelda while showing he isn’t part of Ganon’s Dark Forces at the same time. ThunderStruck will be some good stuff.
