HPW and HXS TV set the scene!

The opening round draws to a close, and if the other brackets were any indication, this could be a wild finish! Arrow Club, the UnderWorld Order and The Dark Forces (or is it still Faces of Evil?) are all over this card, with a few unique variables thrown in. Donny B. Kool is back in action, facing the leader of the Arrow Club faction. Can Donny groove into the next round? Or will Fin Balure take him down? And while the uWo has the Million Rupee Championship back, Hollywood ReDead wants more! Will he make it past the boisterous Bokoblin? Or will he fail to conquer his FOE?

But first, we get some back-to-back masked luchadores! The Son of the Whirlpool wants to prove Arrow Club has no weak links, but will he turn the tides? Or will the wild Wolfos wring him out and head for the next round? The Sixth Annual Triforce Tournament opening round concludes right now!

CACAW!” The Ducks head out with the challenge made, will Arrow Club have their revenge in February?

My Thoughts:

Another “just in time” finish in writing this article, but I really wanted to maximize the impact of this bracket most of all. Bracket of Courage, the highspeed style, the bracket our Hero of Hyrule represents, it should have the hottest matches to finish up the opening round. I hope I can improve upon that in the second round, especially as there are other things planned besides the tournament.

Bandwagon Nerds #287: Filling A Void

The Nerds review Thunderbolts*, check out the latest trailers, and celebrate Star Wars Day as only they can!

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!

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!

Groose roars, the fans fire up, and Groose stalks Fin. Groose has the chicken wings!

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!

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!

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!

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.
