PLAY BY PLAY

The more things change, the more they stay the same.

“And in some ways, that’s incredibly true for people. Some say they want to change, but do they really try? Are they lying to the people around them? Or just lying to themselves?” Good visual montage shows us the past five years, the growth of the many stars of HPW, heroes and villains alike. “Can things change with enough willpower? Or does it take a little something more? There’s much magic and mystery in Hyrule’s history, but one thing is clear to everyone here in HPW: You must fight to get what you want!

Since April 1st of 2020, we have seen The Hero of Hyrule become a THREE-TIME HPW Triforce World Champion, The Gerudo Ace become HPW’s first and only Triple Crown Champion, and the Princess of Hyrule set a substantial mark as the TWO-YEAR HPW Goddess Champion. They now meet again here, the biggest night of HPW’s calendar, and perhaps the grandest Celebration of Greatness yet! But will history repeat itself with another victory for Link? Will Ganon become a two-time world champion? Or is this going to be the night Zelda finally takes the throne?

But that’s not all, as this night is loaded! Kevin Gibdo looks to settle things with the UnderWorld Order once and for all, but he’ll have to play by Majora’s rules, so to speak. The Wrestling Roulette has been employed again and again in this high risk rivalry between Kevin and the uWo, and now it’ll be spun again and again until someone wins! Who will succumb to the Moon Madness? Osphala also seems willing to gamble with his gold, as he is putting up his Termina Championship in an Open Challenge! Who will answer the call in hopes of cutting Osphala’s reign short?

And speaking of settling scores, Ladrona took the title from Ruto, but Ruto wants revenge! Will the Thief Girl be able to keep the Zora Princess’s treasure from her? Or will Ruto once again be Goddess Champion? Arrow Club is going to be busy tonight as it would seem Ganon is sending his entire army after them! The Dark Forces and the Faces of Evil are all after Fin & The Ducks, who makes it out of here with the HPW World Trios Championships? But first! It is once again time to climb Death Mountain! Will Thunderbird be able to stay atop the summit? Or will someone bring him down and plant their own flag? This is HyruleMania 5!

HPW Death Mountain Championship Ladder Match: Thunderbird VS Ralph VS Ghirahim VS Militron VS Igos du Ikana VS Grim Creeper!

Dark Horses, Dark Forces, Faces of Evil, even an icon of Termina, they’re all battling to climb atop the mountain. Will Thunderbird survive this Six Pack Challenge? Or will there be a new champion that rises up?

Everyone has brand new gear, and clearly they’re all thinking the same with the gold and silver trim. The introductions are made, the belt is high above, and we see who reaches the peak!

Fans lose their minds already while Thunderbird writhes and flounders out of the ring!

Militron takes the ladder, stands it up, but Ghirahim slides into the ring. They stare down, given the Dark Forces and Faces of Evil are both under Ganon now. But will the truce hold against a singles title? Igos returns so Ghirahim goes after him! Ghirahim CLUBS Igos, then Militron puts his ladder in a corner. Militron calls to Ghirahim, Ghirahim whips Igos that way, but Igos reverses! Ghirahim and Militron stop from colliding, and Ghirahim turns around, but into a ROUNDHOUSE from Igos!

Thunderbird builds speed, but Ghirahim trips him! Ghirahim drags Thunderbird out and throws him into a ladder that’s just on standby! Ghirahim goes back to the ring, but Militron’s already moving the ladder back to center. Ghirahim says good job and he starts climbing! Militron is confused and upset as he goes around to that side. Militron brings Ghirahim down and shoves him. Ghirahim is mad now, and he shoves Militron back!

Ghirahim says they’re on the same team, it doesn’t matter who climbs up to get the belt! Then it shouldn’t matter that it’s Militron! He shoves Ghirahim aside and goes up the ladder!

Creeper tumbles away, having narrowly missed the downed ladder. Militron brings that ladder back up and positions it just right.

Militron reaches under the ladder in the corner and gets Thunderbird’s legs! CATAPULT into the ladder! Fans all wince seeing that while Thunderbird sputters and flops out of the ring. Militron goes to the main ladder, but it seems to be a bit wobbly now. Militorn repositions the ladder in the corner to be a bridge between corner and main ladder as a stabilizer. The fans boo while Militron goes to the other side to climb. The fans boo more as he continues up rung by rung, but Ralph is at the corner!

Million Rupee Championship Moon Madness Match: Kevin Gibdo VS Majora!

You wanna get nuts? Let’s get nuts! To finish off this war between the Gibdo of All Gibdos with the UnderWorld Order, the Wrestling Roulette is going to work overtime! Every THREE minutes, that wheel will spin, and the conditions for victory will completely change each time! Who will find a way to win on an ever-changing landscape?

The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see who stays sane!

The Wrestling Roulette on stage looks a bit… different from the usual. Oh, that’s right, Majora busted that one up when he announced this match. And so this seems to be a special Majora edition of the wheel. New additions include Falls Count Anywhere, Submission Match, Tables Match, and even an I Quit match! The wheel spins and round one is… FALLS COUNT ANYWHERE!

Falls Count Anywhere!

The bell rings and the two start throwing hands! The fans fire up as the two go along the ropes, into a corner, and then out of the corner. Kevin gets the edge, then winds up to ROCK Majora!

And then Kevin runs up to BOOT Majora into the timekeeper’s area! 30 seconds until the next spin, and Kevin storms his way around barriers into the timekeeper’s area. Kevin covers, the ref works to fit into the space with them, then counts, TWO!

Kevin complains but the ref says there was nothing he could do! Kevin drags Majora up, SMACKS him off the ring bell, then shoves Majora back to the ring. Kevin pushes Majora into the ring, and the fans count it down! “Three! Two! One! BRR!” The wheel spins again! And it lands on… TABLES MATCH!

Tables Match!

The fans go wild because who doesn’t love “TABLES! TABLES!” Kevin looks under the ring, and yes, he brings out a table! The fans cheer and Kevin slides the table into the ring. Kevin props the table up in a corner, then goes to Majora. Majora fireman’s carries! The fans freak out but Kevin slips free! Kevin shoves Majora at the table but Majora stops himself.

Kevin drags Majora up, but Majora pushes Kevin away and scrambles for ropes. Kevin grabs at Majora, brings him around, but Majora ROCKS Kevin!

Majora staggers back to lean against ropes while Kevin staggers to the far side. The countdown is back, “Three! Two! One! BRR!” The wheel spins~ again! And now we get… A BIKER’S CHAIN MATCH!

Biker’s Chain Match!

A member of the ring crew rushes out from the back, and he does his best to TOSS the biker chain into the ring! The chain lands right between Majora and Kevin! Majora and Kevin both look at the chain, and then they both rush forward! Majora grabs the chain but Kevin CLOBBERS Majora! Kevin grabs the chain and he LASHES Majora with it! And LASHES him again!

The fans freak out, and Majora celebrates down in the wreckage! But the ref reminds Majora, the stipulation completely changed, the table isn’t a way to win anymore! Majora is immediately upset, but there’s still another minute before the next stipulation change.

Majora drags himself out of the wreckage, and he spots the biker chain. Majora crawls over to the chain, and he wraps it around his wrist. Majora takes aim while Kevin slowly rises up. Majora runs up to BIKER CHAIN PUNCH!! Kevin staggers then falls in a heap at the ropes! Majora shakes out his hand, that may have been double-edged. Majora storms over to cover, ROPEBREAK!! The fans go nuts as Kevin survives by a mere fingertip! Majora is absolutely stunned, and then he’s furious again!

SPINEBUSTER to the floor!! A desperate move saves Kevin, and “Three! Two! One! BRR!” The wheel spins~ again! And now we have a… Champagne Bottle Match?

Champagne Bottle Match!

The ring crew guy returns, and he puts bottles of champagne on the outside of every corner. Ring announcer Purah is then given a note to explain the rules of this match. The way to win is to first cover the opponent in champagne, then go for a pinfall or submission in the ring. Other than that, there are no rules! Kevin hobbles his way over to a corner and grabs the bottle. Kevin shakes it up, takes aim, and POP! The cork hits Majora and so does the spray of champagne! The fans have a good laugh as Majora sputters and coughs, and then Kevin SMASHES the bottle on Majora’s head!! Fans lose their minds while Kevin puts Majora in the ring.

Majora sputters, and he is busted open! Kevin storms in behind him, drags him up, and clamps on the choke grip! CHOKE SLAM! Cover, TWO!! Majora survives and the fans boo, but Kevin stays cool.

Kevin sends the bottle flying and it SMASHES on the mat! Majora scrambles away but Kevin grabs at his feet! Majora reaches a corner and holds onto ropes as Kevin pulls him back.

The fans go nuts again as Kevin falls over in a heap, just like with that biker chain punch! Majora seethes as he drags himself up with the ropes.

Last Man Standing Match!

Well, wait, both men are down from getting hit with the bottles! The ref starts counting now! The fans rally as hard as they can for Kevin as he and Majora stir at 2. They both slowly sit up at 4, and Kevin reaches out for Majora. Majora slow rolls to the ropes, and he slips to the outside to stand at 8! Kevin stands up shortly after, wobbles and hobbles over, and he reaches through ropes to grab Majora by the head! Majora flails and fights free to then ROCK Kevin! Kevin staggers away, Majora hurries back inside, and he runs up to TORPEDO MAJORA!! The fans boo while Majora shouts for a count!

The ref counts and Majora makes sure he’s up on his feet using a corner. Kevin is still down as we reach 5 of 10! Majora shouts to go faster but the ref stays on pace, 6! Kevin sputters and rises up, 7! The bloody forehead has soaked the bandages red, but Kevin is still on his feet by 9! Majora shouts and runs up, TORPEDO MAJORA AGAIN!! Both men are down again while fans boo as hard as they can! Majora rises with a wild look in his eyes and he flounders to the ropes. Majora shouts for the count, which does start, and fans rally for Kevin again. Kevin is still down at 5, but Majora complains the count needs to be faster!

Majora points to the clock. Ten seconds have already gone away, why hasn’t it been a ten count yet?! The ref tells him to stop complaining! The count is 6 of 10 as Kevin slowly sits up. Kevin reaches out for ropes in a daze, but he manages to stand at 8, only to stumble and flop near a corner. The ref starts a new count, Majora gets upset, because the clock is ticking! Majora storms over to Kevin, drags him up before the count’s even 5 of 10, and he puts Kevin in the ropes! DRAPING DDT! The clock is at 20 seconds while the fans lose their minds, and Majora shouts for the count! The ref starts, and it is truly a race against time!

Majora watches time tick away and he pounds the mat while shouting, “C’mon! C’mon! C’MON!” The count is 5 of 10, but we’re at 10 seconds! Majora is losing his cool as Kevin stirs and sputters at 7 of 10, and he starts to sit up! Majora shouts, “C’MON!!” Kevin drags himself up with the ropes, and he stands at 9! Majora runs up, but Kevin DUMPS him out to the floor! And the wheel spins~ again! CASKET MATCH!!

Casket Match!

The fans fire up seeing that result, and while it’s hard to see Kevin’s mouth, it is clear Kevin is smiling a sinister smile! More members of the ring crew hurry to wheel a casket out to ringside while Kevin goes out after Majora. Kevin drags Majora up, and he uses a headlock to bring Majora around the way. The casket is parked right by the ring at the ramp side, and the crew opens the lid. Kevin brings Majora over, but Majora throws body shots! Majora CLAWS Kevin’s eyes and the fans boo, but then Majora POSTS Kevin! Kevin slumps against the post, sputters and coughs, but Majora stands him up to POST him again!

Kevin slumps off post and against apron, and Majora drags him over to the casket. Majora shoves Kevin up against the casket, then struggles to lift the rest of him. Kevin kicks Majora away, the casket slides and Kevin goes stumbling back with it as it does. Majora grabs a chair, storms up on Kevin, but Kevin moves, so chair hits casket! Majora drops the chair from the recoil, and then Kevin choke grips him! CHOKE- NO, Majora breaks free, and he ROCKS Kevin with a big right! Majora shoves Kevin into the side of the casket again, and then he SLAMS the lid on Kevin! Kevin is like a walnut by a nut cracker!

Fans boo while Majora presses down on the lid to squeeze Kevin! Majora then opens the lid again, and he pushes Kevin inside. Majora grabs the lid, but Kevin grabs Majora! Kevin sits up as he squeezes Majora’s neck! Majora flails, clubs at Kevin’s arm but Kevin won’t let go! Kevin climbs out of the casket, and he CHOKE SLAMS Majora into the casket! Wait, who’s this jumping over the barriers? It’s another Gibdo! Is uWo really pulling this trick again? But then this Gibdo THROWS FIRE in Kevin’s face!! Kevin flails in pain and panic, and the Gibdo pulls their bandages away to reveal SCALDERA!!

Majora is out of the casket, and he pops Kevin up for an APRON POWERBOMB!! Kevin writhes, but Majora scoops and POWERSLAMS him into the casket!! Majora and Scaldera both slam the lid shut!! MAJORA WINS!!

Winner: Majora (NEW Million Rupee Champion)

Scaldera and Majora both laugh maniacally, having screwed Kevin over together! Scaldera shouts, “How does it feel? How does it feel?!” The proverbial tables have turned as now Kevin is stuck in a casket like Scaldera was back when he was “Alex Gibdo.” But wait, now Majora and Scaldera are taking the casket somewhere? They’re going on stage with it, and out comes Hollywood ReDead! ReDead knocks on the casket and asks if Kevin can hear him in there. That’s when ReDead reveals he has an AX?! ReDead taps the casket with the ax and asks if “Kev” can hear him! ReDead says it’s time to “cut ties” with him once and for all!

ReDead starts chopping at the casket with the ax!! Fans freak out as ReDead starts chipping away at the thing! Kevin can’t get out should that blade get him! But then Scaldera brings out a tank of gasoline?! The ref reprimands but Majora tells him to back off! Scaldera pours the gasoline all over the casket! Fans boo, shout, scream, but that’s a lot of gasoline! Scaldera empties the whole can as he tells Kevin he’s gonna burn! Scaldera uses his own fire power to ignite the gasoline!! The casket goes up in flames!! The uWo all laughs like the evil psychos they are! Fans are freaking out as Kevin could be burning, well, undead?!

HPW crew hurries out with fire extinguishers! They hit the casket with everything they’ve got! Is it in time?! The casket is falling away already! Fans are freaking out but the flames are dying down. The crew hurries to get Kevin out of what’s left but… Where is he? Where’d he go? There should be something left but it’s just the casket! Even the uWo is confused! What happened to Kevin!? Will the uWo have to answer for their crimes?

Ghirahim and Militron argue backstage.

They’re angry with each other over the loss in the ladder match, but then Ganon storms his way over. Ganon asks,
“What in the wide world of sports was that crap!?” The two try to explain but Ganon tells them to shut up, he was being rhetorical! It was them being idiots instead of champions! Ghirahim doesn’t understand why Ganon needed to bring in the “rejects” but Ganon tells him not to dare question what Ganon does. Their purpose is to win championships so they can run HPW. That means getting past their egos and working together. And that includes later tonight, got it?

Ganon leaves, still having to prepare for the HPW Triforce World Championship match. Is that what he’s referring to by “later tonight?”

HPW Termina Championship Open Challenge: Osphala VS ???

The Gleaming Yellow Light returned at Treasure Island under an Open Challenge, so now he’s going to defend this title under the same circumstances! Will Osphala become a great Termina Champion this second time around? Or will he regret gambling with his gold?

Who answered the call of this Open Challenge? It’s… TORBEVITO! The Son of the Whirlpool is here, but will he take this title for Arrow Club? The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and let’s see who shines brightest at the end of the year!

Osphala keeps on Torbevito with a headlock, hits a takeover, but Torbevito headscissors. Osphala kips free, roles reverse as Torbevito hits a headlock takeover, and Osphala headscissors. Torbevito kips up, Osphala headlocks again but Torbevito hurries to power up and out. Osphala comes back, Torbevito drops down then hurdles, but Osphala catches him!

Osphala hits an atomic drop, waistlocks again, but Torbevito fights the lift. Torbevito drop toeholds, gets the legs, but Osphala kicks him away! The two back off and the fans cheer this opening exchange. The two reset, feel things out, and knuckle lock. Torbevito kicks one apart to wrench the other, but Osphala spins, slips through, wrenches and hammerlocks. Osphala spins Torbevito around to cravat, snapmare, and then chinlock. Torbevito drops, slips out the back, goes for the headlock, but Osphala slips out the back. Torbevito ducks a Penalty Kick, rolls Osphala up, but Osphala rolls through! Osphala blocks a mule kick!

Osphala stands, DRAGON SCREW, but Torbevito spins through! Torbevito sits on a cover, TWO, and Osphala sunset flips! TWO and both men get up fast. Torbevito KICKS Osphala’s punch away, but Osphala avoids the heel kick! Osphala BOOTS Torbevito, but Torbevito rebounds off ropes! Torbevito leaps up, but Osphala stops the DDT and throws him away! The fans cheer this newest exchange and newest standoff! Osphala nods and applauds in respect, then circles with Torbevito again. Torbevito SLAPS Osphala! Fans are torn but Osphala is pissed! Osphala swings, Torbevito bobs ‘n’ weaves, then UPPERCUTS!

Torbevito whips, Osphala reverses, Torbevito tilt-o-whirls and RANAS Osphala! Osphala tumbles out of the ring while the fans are torn, and Torbevito builds speed.

The fans fire up, Torbevito puts Osphala in the ring, hurries to get him back up, and he kicks off the ropes for the WHIRL- Whoa, whoa, they’re going around and around! Osphala stops the DDT again! And then NORTHERN LIGHTS! Bridging cover, TWO! The fans cheer again while Torbevito staggers up. Osphala stalks Torbevito, then reels him, but Torbevito fights the lift!

The fans fire up again as Torbevito narrowly escapes! Torbevito staggers around, Osphala runs up and clinches. They go to ropes and Osphala uses that to rebound and BELLY2BELLY! Torbevito tumbles, Osphala hurries after, but Torbevito rolls out of the ring!

The fans are torn but Osphala is frustrated. Osphala hurries out after Torbevito to drag him up, but Torbevito RAMS Osphala into steel steps! The fans are still torn while Torbevito gets space. Torbevito runs up and DROPKICKS Osppala against the steps! Osphala coughs and sputters while Torbevito kips up real smooth. Torbevito drags Osphala up, puts him in the ring, then aims from the apron. Osphala stands and Torbevito springboards, FLYING LARIAT! Torbevito fires up while the fans continue to duel, “Torbevito!” “TORBE SUCKS!” Torbevito waits as Osphala rises up, then jumps, SATELLITE DDT!

Ruto really brings out the glamour for this entrance as she wears a glittering silver gown with a long train on the skirt, which is kept off the ground by attendants. Ruto walks up special steps just for her to go up to the apron, and then the train of the dress detaches to float away. Ladrona’s entrance has the lights go down, and then there’s glowsticks and LEDs lighting up. The band, Lifeless Tuesday, is here to play Ladrona’s theme live! And then Ladrona walks out in her own LED jacket! Ladrona rocks out with Ron Glynn on guitar before continuing down the ramp. Fans are already chanting “Ladrona Rocks!” as she steps in the ring.

HPW World Trios Championships Triple Threat: Arrow Club VS The Dark Forces VS The Faces of Evil!

Fin Balure & The Young Ducks are surrounded on all sides. In Ganon’s desire for domination, he is sending everything he has against the Zora Rock ‘n’ Rolla! However, the Dark Forces OGs like Volga & Wizzro aren’t exactly getting along with Harlequin, Lupay & Glutko. Will Fin, Mack & Rick use that dysfunction to survive? Or will they lose these titles one way or another?

The Dark Forces jump out from under a trap door and get some pyro to go with it. Zant’s the most fired up for it, too. But their song gets cut off by the Faces of Evil making their entrance. Harlequin tries to be buddy-buddy with the Dark Forces but only Zant high-fives him. The six of them go to the ring together so you might as well call this a 6v3 Handicap Match. As for Arrow Club, they have shining gold gear with black trim to match the belts. They also bring the weapons of their people: bow ‘n’ arrow for Mack & Rick, and a long spear for Fin. Those are just props, though. Fin points at the ring with the spear, and the Ducks “shoot arrows” for pyro to go off!

The introductions are made, the belts are raised, and we see if Arrow Club’s fortunes change!

In this kind of Triple Threat, each trio will have one person be legal, and they can only tag out to their own trio. Mack starts against Wizzro and Glutko and the bell rings. The fans rally up for Arrow Club as Mack is wary of both opponents. Wizzro runs up but Mack dodges and he fires hands on Glutko! The fans fire up but Glutko SHOVES Mack down. Wizzro jumps on Mack to CLUB away on him, but Mack shoves Wizzro into the Arrow Club corner. Rick and Fin trap Wizzro to mug him! The ref reprimands, Mack baits Glutko in and sends him into Wizzro! Mack DROPKICKS Glutko to send him back into Wizzro!

Wizzro sits down in the corner, Mack RAMS Glutko back in, making Glutko give Wizzro a stink face! Arrow Club mugs Glutko! The ref reprimands but the fans fire up!

Glutko then DOUBLE- NO, The Ducks fight off the double suplex, kick low, then reel Glutko in for a DOUBLE DDT! Rick covers Glutko, TWO! Wizzro tags in Volga and Volga runs up on Rick. Volga CLOBBERS Rick, CLOBBERS him again, and fans are a bit torn. Volga kicks, Rick blocks, but not the DRAGON WHIP! Volga covers, TWO!

Volga drags Rick into a chinlock, and Glutko stands up to stomp Rick in the stomach. The fans boo but Volga drags Rick up. Volga whips Rick to the Faces of Evil corner, Glutko runs in and SPLASHES! Tag to Harlequin, he and Glutko mug Rick, then they feed Rick to Volga for an arm-drag! Volga has the armlock, Glutko BLASTS the Arrow Club corner! The ref reprimands while Glutko steps outside. Harlequin taunts Rick, then stomps him in the stomach. The fans boo more but Volga drags Rick up for him and Harlequin to double whip. Rick KICKS Harlequin out of the backdrop! Volga takes a swing but Rick dodges!

Rick turns around to ROUNDHOUSE Volga! SOBAT for Harlequin! BACK ELBOW for Volga! SPINNING ROUNDHOUSE on Harlequin! Harlequin and Volga end up in corners so Rick runs up, SHINING WIZARD on Volga! Harlequin runs corner to corner, but into Rick’s BULLDOG DROPKICK COMBO! Cover on Harlequin, TWO! Rick hurries to cover Volga, TWO!

Harlequin storms over, but the Ducks double drop toehold him into Volga’s dragon balls! The fans laugh while Volga doubles over.

The Ducks then drag Harlequin back, and they each have a leg for a DOUBLE HALF CRAB! So technically, a full Sand Crab? The fans cheer, Harlequin endures, but the ref reprimands Rick. The ref says the submission won’t count while Rick is holding on, so Rick lets go, to then BLAST the Dark Forces corner. The ref reprimands more but then Lupay storms in and BOOTS Mack! The ref reprimands Lupay now, but Mack gets up to throw hands on Lupay! The fans fire up but the ref reprimands more, and now Rick goes after Lupay, too! Glutko storms in and HEADBUTTS Rick! The fans boo and the ref keeps on reprimanding!

Fin is back and he runs up to fire shots on Glutko! Harlequin is up, he goes after Fin, the ref is desperately trying to calm this all down, but now the Dark Forces jump in! Volga goes after Rick, Wizzro’s after Mack and Zant is after Fin! The Dark Forces and Faces of Evil keep up the 2v1 muggings in three of the four corners! Zant and Harlequin double whip Fin corner to corner, then Zant whips Harlequin in and he RAMS Fin! Zant runs up to add a GAMANGIRI! Glutko and Wizzro each whip The Ducks, but the Ducks dosido! But then Volga and Lupay each block superkicks! They hand those off to Glutko and Wizzro so they can KICK the Ducks in the legs!

Then Zant gets to SPLASH all three! Then Glutko SPLASHES all three!! Arrow Club sputters, falls, and flops out of the ring! The fans boo as hard as they can, but now Faces of Evil and Dark Forces are alone with each other. The ref is out of breath reprimanding, he wants this back down to just the legal men!

FOE and Dark Forces agree to back down and they go to their corners. Zant tags in, and he steps up to Harlequin. Harlequin offers a handshake and Zant says sure! They shake hands and Zant says “this is going to be good, clean, professional wrestling.” They circle while fans rally for “Dark Forces! Dark Forces!” The two feel out a knuckle lock, but Harlequin asks everyone to quiet down. He and Zant reset, feel out the grapple, and they tie up collar ‘n’ elbow. Zant waistlocks, but Harlequin wrenches out. Wait, this seems like they’re going in slow motion… Zant wrenches back to a wristlock, Harlequin reaches for ropes, but Zant keeps him away.

Harlequin rolls and wrenches to a wristlock. Zant “endures,” then rolls, rolls, and rolls. Zant wrenches to a hammerlock then headlock. Fans applaud, but Harlequin wrenches out to a headlock of his own. Harlequin says, “Around the world~!” as he goes from headlock to hammerlock to headlock again. Zant throws slow-mo body shots and Harlequin jokes that it hurts. Zant “powers out,” Harlequin “runs” to “ram” Zant, and Zant “falls.” Harlequin flexes and fans applaud the good show. Things “speed” up, Zant drops down and Harlequin stops to dramatically flail his arms before “falling forward” from the trip.

Zant fires up, “runs” back in, but Harlequin “sweeps” the legs and covers, TWO! Zant “sweeps” the legs and covers, TWO! Both men roll to their feet, put up fisticuffs, and the fans applaud. Harlequin and Zant shake hands again and everyone applauds. Zant and Harlequin circle, Zant getting a stomp stomp clap going with the fans.

But then Harlequin SMACKS Wizzro! The Faces of Evil stomp away on Volga & Wizzro while Zant stays completely out of the way! But then Arrow Club returns, and they have chairs! Fin & The Ducks start throwing chair shot after chair shot!

The fans are thunderous and the ref reprimands, but he can’t really do anything under Triple Threat rules! Arrow Club gets Glutko and Lupay out of the ring, and all the attention turns to Zant and Harlequin! Mack and Rick alternate as they SMACK away on Zant and Harlequin! Fin plays defense, making sure no one else can get in! The ref reprimands, so Fin and Rick stand down. Mack takes the chairs and sits them up, two chairs facing each other.

Winners: The Faces of Evil, by pinfall (NEW HPW World Trios Champions)

The fans boo as loud as they can, because they can’t believe Ghirahim would choose the FOE over his allies! Or, was he ever a friend to Volga? Wizzro storms in and shoves Ghirahim, demanding to know what that was about. Zant also gets back in and stands with Wizzro. However, Militron gets in, so that’s Ghirahim and four Faces of Evil standing against Wizzro, Zant, and a downed Volga. ZANT GRABS WIZZRO IN A SLEEPER!!

Fans boo as hard as they can, but Zant demands the ref bring the belts! The ref reluctantly does, and Zant snatches those from him to then hand to Glutko, Lupay & Harlequin. They hold the belts up while Zant clears out Volga and Wizzro. And now, horns blow? Big war horns are being blown by big Bokoblins as they lead the way out from backstage, a procession on either side of the ramp. They also bang drums and have Bokoblin war dancers. Harlequin laughs as he leads the Faces of Evil, Ghirahim & Zant out of the ring to then meet the procession at the stage. He joins in on the dance, the belt now shining around his waist.

The war dance ends with Harlequin and the other dances pointing to the stage. The music then slowly transitions, and it’s Ganon’s theme song! The Gerudo Ace, the general of these new Dark Forces, makes his way out on stage, and his hair is glowing like fire! He has black war paint on his arms and upper body, and he wears a dark grey tunic with gold runes on the hem over his jet black ring gear. Ganon walks down the ramp, and his followers stand around him. Will Ganon soon add another championship to the collection?

Zelda then throws the cloak away in one go, and she has turned the “customary attire” of a Hyrule Princess into a superhero spandex costume! Fans go wild for the rose gold and lavender with gold trim as Zelda struts down to the ring. This leaves Link for last, but certainly not least. Link walks out on stage, wearing a blue tunic, white pants, and then Link brings out a mask?!

My Thoughts:

I am truly getting this one done late at night, but I made sure to get it done. I was aiming to make this as awesome as I could, so I was very torn over a lot of the finishes and results. And none more so than that main event. A part of me wanted to find a way to finally get that world title on Zelda, but as I was going, that finish there just came out organically and I could not override that. I could not find a spot that I could detour things, and I feel so weird about it. But who knows, maybe we can find a way for Zelda to #FinishTheStory in 2025, a fresh slate for us all.
