PLAY BY PLAY

HPW and HXS TV set the scene!

We are just ELEVEN DAYS AWAY from the Triforce Anniversary! That means time is of the essence when it comes to making the traditional Triforce Tournament’s Triple Threat Finals! Ganon has returned to the Bracket of Power Finals, having overcome last year’s winner in Yunobo. However, will the Armored Annihilator defy the Gerudo Ace? Sidon has made quite the splash as an official part of the HPW roster, but he runs into the Living Blade, Ghirahim! Will the Dark Forces only grow stronger? Or can the Zora Prince prove himself worthy of this spotlight?

And while Thunderbird has been Death Mountain Champion, and while Fin Balure has been Termina Champion, both men want to be THE champion of HPW! Only one can step forward, but will the Ruto luchador fly high? Or will he be dragged into deep waters by the Zora Rock ‘n’ Rolla? But first, the Gerudo Sisterhood series continues as the smallest yet bravest member, Riju, steps up to Tali! Will Riju stop the selfish pursuit of payback? Or will the Dame of the Dunes dominate through the group? HPW Triforce Tournament on the Nima Plain starts now!

Zelda is here!

Well hold on a moment then! The Princess of Hyrule promised two weeks ago that she’d be here, and the crowd cheers as she heads to the ring. Zelda grabs the mic while fans cheer her on. Zelda looks to the ramp and says, “Link. I asked you to be here tonight, and to meet me in this ring. If you’re here, come out now.” Everyone waits, and waits, and Zelda starts to look emotional. Zelda lifts the mic again, but then Link’s music hits! Zelda is relieved as Link makes his entrance and heads for the ring. Zelda says, “I knew you cared about me. And I know you and everyone else wants to know why I even want to talk with you publicly.

“I’ll get right to the point then. You and I… Uh…” Zelda takes a moment again, and Link reaches out to her, but she has him hold off. “You and I have always been running parallel here in HPW, haven’t we? There’s a connection here. And like I said weeks ago, I really shouldn’t be upset that I lost in the Triforce Championship match. I have nothing to complain about. But even so, I still can’t get over that. I lost the original Triple Threat Finals, I lost to Ganon one-on-one, I lost to you one-on-one, and all these other times where we were both involved, I lost. To be honest, I’m not sure what to do. I’m… getting desperate.”

Link is as unsure as the crowd, but Zelda says, “I want one more shot. I want one last shot at the HPW Triforce World Championship.” The fans are torn hearing that, but Zelda wants them to hear her out. “I’m not using my name to just get this match made. This is still up to Link. I’m just asking for this chance. One last match between Link and I. If I lose, I’ll never challenge for the HPW Triforce World Championship again.” Now fans are shocked to hear that, and so is Link. Zelda says it’s alright if he refuses. She’ll just have to fight her way to it. Though, the tournament’s already ending, and who knows how this year’s Eventide Challenge or Hyrule Warriors matches will go.

But it’s Zelda, right? She’ll find a way. Maybe. Zelda sniffles and snorts back her tears, which makes Link panic a bit. Link says yes?! He’s accepting her challenge? Zelda drops her mic and gives Link a big hug! Link nervously hugs her back, and she thanks him. Zelda and Link smile, and she holds his hand up. The Princess of Hyrule is putting it all on the line against the Hero of Hyrule, who will be THE Champion of Hyrule after the Anniversary?

Tali w/ Shabonne VS Riju!

The Dame of the Dunes checked Buliara off the list, and now her selfish revenge tour brings her to Riju. Will Tali be 2-0? Or will Riju be the one to stop this madness?

The bell rings and the two circle. They feel things out, Tali gets around to waistlock, and she SLAMS Riju down! The fans boo while Tali stands over Riju. Tali flips Riju over, yanks her up, but Riju arm- NO, Tali blocks that, and shakes her head. Tali whips Riju to ropes, but Riju tilt-o-whirls and RANAS Tali to a corner! The fans fire up as Riju runs in, but Tali catches Riju! Tali carries Riju out, to then OVERHEAD BELLY2BELLY SUPLEX her away! Riju tumbles out, the fans boo, but Shabonne cheers on Tali. Tali flexes and soaks up the heat while Riju slowly sits up on the outside. Talij then storms out after Riju and drags her up.

Tali fireman’s carries Riju, aims for a corner, and runs up! But Riju slips free, and Tali clips the post! Tali staggers over to railing, Riju runs up and CALF KICKS Tali into the railing! The fans fire up while Riju puts Tali back in the ring. Riju drops an elbow, covers, TWO! Riju clamps onto Tali with a chinlock and she grinds Tali down. The fans rally but Tali endures. Tali fights up, Riju hops on as a backpack, but Tali still stands up. Tali THROWS Riju down, Riju flounders, and Tali RAMS Riju into a corner! The fans boo, the ref reprimands, but Tali RAMS Riju in again, and again, and again! Tali digs her shoulder in, but lets off as the ref counts.

Tali gets in Riju’s face and talks trash about how Riju didn’t stand up for Tali. Tali blames Riju as much as she does Aveil for how Aveil hogged the spotlight! Tali whips Riju corner to corner hard, and Riju bounces off the buckles! The fans boo but Tali storms up on Riju. Riju sputters and sits up, but Tali deadlift suplexes Riju! Tali holds Riju up and marches around while fans boo. Tali SLAMS Riju down at TEN, then soaks up the heat. Tali covers, TWO! Riju is tougher than that and the fans rally up. Tali scowls and Shabonne coaches her up. Shabonne tells her to focus, and Tali looms over Riju. Tali deadlifts Riju into another suplex!

Tali again holds Riju up, marches around, and SLAMS Riju down at TEN! Tali flexes, the fans boo more, but Shabonne says they will “respect the Dame of the Dunes and all of her dominance!” Riju crawls towards ropes, but Tali YANKS her back! Tali deadlifts Riju a third time, but gets a STUN DOG MILLIONAIRE! The fans fire up as Tali staggers back to a corner! Riju rises up while Shabonne panics a bit, and Riju runs up to fire off furious fists! The fans fire up even more but the ref counts! Riju doesn’t stop, the ref gets in there and backs Riju off, which the fans boo. Riju jukes past him to go after Tali again!

The fans fire up more, but Tali SHOVES Riju back! Riju rolls to her feet, runs back up, and DROPKICKS Tali to the corner! Riju sits Tali down and stomps a mudhole in! The ref reprimands but the fans fire up, and Riju lets off to go corner to corner. Riju comes running back, SLIDING FOREARM! The fans fire up again and Shabonne continues to panic. Riju has Tali in the drop zone, Riju climbs up, but Shabonne gets on the apron! The ref stops Shabonne, the fans boo again, and Tali crawls away. Riju gets mad, and she hops down to storm up on Shabonne. Shabonne backs off, and Tali SPEARS Riju off the apron!!

The fans go nuts as both women crash to the floor! Shabonne is shocked, the ref checks both Riju and Tali, and Tali crawls to the railing. Tali drags herself up with the railing while Riju coughs and sputters. Tali storms over to Riju, drags her up, and fireman’s carries her again. Tali runs and POSTS Riju! The fans boo while Riju flops to the floor! Tali seethes as she storms back up on Riju, and she drags Riju back into the ring. Tali drags Riju to the center for a cover, TWO!! Riju is still in this and the fans fire up! Tali is furious and Shabonne says finish her! Tali drags Riju up and shouts at her to just stay down!

Tali then gut wrenches Riju onto her shoulder, but Riju flails! Tali tries to hold onto Riju, but Riju manages to sunset flip BUCKLE BOMB! The fans fire up again as Riju storms her way to the far corner. Riju roars and runs back in, but Tali is up to SPEAR!! Cover, TWO?!? Riju survives and shocks everyone! Tali is beside herself and Shabonne accuses the ref of a slow count! The ref defends his count, and fans declare, “This is Awesome!” Tali shouts at Riju again, but Riju reaches up. Is her hand glowing? Tali grabs that hand, and YANKS Riju right to a fireman’s carry! Tali spins for an F5! But Riju lands on her feet!? Everyone is shocked, then Riju basement DROPKICKS!

Tali sputters, Riju runs and hits a BLOCKBUSTER! The fans fire up with Riju, and she stomps Tali into the drop zone! Riju climbs up, Shabonne freaks out, and the fans are thunderous for the ULTIMATE ELBOW DROP!! Cover, but Shabonne puts Tali’s foot on the ropes! The fans boo while Shabonne shouts at the ref! The ref only missed seeing Shabonne because he had to check the shoulders! Shabonne cheers but Riju is furious. Riju kicks at Shabonne but Shabonne gets away. Shabonne protests, but Riju drags Tali up from the corner. Riju whips Tali, Tali reverses, but Riju goes up and over! Riju keeps moving, ducks ‘n’ dodges, then LEAPING LARIATS!

The fans fire up as Riju waits on Tali to sit up to KICK! And KICK! And KICK! Riju fires up, but Tali ducks the buzzsaw! Tali lifts Riju, SPINE- DDT!! Riju turns things around, the fans fire up, but Tali bails out. Shabonne hurries to her side but the ref wants her to stay back. Shabonne says she’s checking on her client! Riju DIVES, but only gets Shabonne! Shabonne takes the hit for Tali! The fans boo but Tali gets up and she RAMS Riju through railing!! The fans lose their minds and so does commentary! The ref hurries to check them both, and somehow both Tali and Riju are okay to continue. The ref starts a ring count and the fans rally up.

Tali and Riju slowly get out of the wreckage at 3 of 10. Tali hobbles her way to the ring, Riju following at a crawl. Tali leans against the apron at 5 of 10, drags herself inside, and Riju tries to stand. Riju wobbles, hobbles, and we’re at 7. Riju goes to the apron, but wait! Shabonne is grabbing at Riju’s foot! The fans boo and the ref still doesn’t see this! Riju kicks Shabonne away, and she jumps in at 9.5! But Tali’s right on her with a gut wrench! Deadlift and DOMINATOR!! Cover, TALI WINS!!

Winner: Tali, by pinfall

Shabonne might be the most dedicated manager in the history of managers! She helps Tali survive the Ultimate Elbow Drop, she bites the bullet for her, then makes sure Riju’s focus is split! Will she continue to be the insurance policy on Tali’s revenge tour? Or will Aveil prevail in the last round?

Bracket of Power Final: Militron VS GANON!

The Dark Forces clash against themselves as The Armored Annihilator is put up against the Gerudo Ace! However, only one of them can head for the Triforce Tournament Triple Threat Finals! Will Militron defy his leader and take that golden opportunity for his own? Or will Ganon return to where it all began?

As Ganon makes his entrance, he has Zant and Ghirahim of the Dark Forces with him. But as Militron makes his entrance, he has The Faces of Evil with him. The two sides of the same faction stand against each other and fans are intrigued. Ganon has Zant & Ghirahim stand down, Militron has the HPW World Trios Champions stand down, and the bell rings. Ganon and Militron stare down, and Militron dares Ganon to bring the fight! The fans rally up, the rest of the Dark Forces fire up, and Militron SHOVES Ganon! The fans fire up, they want to see this one now! Ganon says fine, if that’s what he wants. Ganon shows punch, but then he just pokes Militron in the chest?

Militron falls right over?! Ganon covers with just one foot! GANON WINS?!!?

Winner: Ganon, by pinfall (advances to the Triforce Anniversary Triple Threat)

Fans are absolutely flabbergasted, but the Dark Forces all celebrate with Ganon! Even Militron! The fans boo, the fix was in from the very start! Commentary says this is a travesty, a farce, and just plain garbage! Ganon and the Dark Forces still celebrate, and Ganon tells Ghirahim to make him proud. Ghirahim nods as his match is up next. Will the Living Blade cut down the Zora Prince? Or will Sidon serve justice at the end of a Harpoon?

Spring is in the air!

With Spring comes new life, and as such, it’s time to liven things up! And as we all know, Wrestling Is Life! HPW changes up the schedule to put WIL on in May! But who will be crying mayday on May Day when the Triforce Tournament Triple Threat winner takes on the Undisputed HPW Triforce World Champion?

Bracket of Wisdom Final: Sidon VS Ghirahim!

As the Zora Prince makes his entrance, the referee asks the Dark Forces all return to the back. Ganon has Zant and the Faces of Evil stand down, and they all exit out through the crowd. The fans do applaud as this is now a fair 1v1. The bell rings, Sidon and Ghirahim feel things out, then back off. They go again, and Sidon shoots in for a leg! Ghirahim sprawls and has a facelock to block. Sidon wrenches and wrangles Ghirahim with a wristlock, Ghirahim goes to headscissor but Sidon shrugs that off. Ghirahim keeps his shoulder up, then pushes Sidon into the headscissors. Sidon kips free and the fans cheer the standoff.

Sidon and Ghirahim circle again, and the two tie up collar ‘n’ elbow. Ghirahim wrenches to a wristlock, then he hammerlocks, headlocks, shifts to the other side, then hits a takeover. Sidon headscissors and Ghirahim kips free. Ghirahim grabs the headlock again, but Sidon fires body shots. Sidon powers up and out, Ghirahim RAMS him, but Sidon stays up. Ghirahim frowns and he shoves Sidon. The fans boo but Sidon dusts himself off. Ghirahim talks trash on Sidon, but Sidon CHOPS him! The fans “WOO~” and Ghirahim scowls. Ghirahim glares at Sidon, then he CHOPS! And CHOPS! And CHOPS!

Ghirahim whips, Sidon reverses, and Sidon tilt-o-whirl scoops for a BACKBREAKER! Ghirahim writhes while Sidon grins and gives a big thumbs up. Sidon brings Ghirahim up in a corner and CHOPS again! Ghirahim seethes, and he puts Sidon in the corner to CHOP! The fans boo, but then Sidon turns things around to CHOP! JAB! CHOP! JAB! CHOP! The fans fire up as Sidon JABS, JABS, JABS! Sidon then winds up, to CHOP again! The fans fire up more as Sidon storms around. Sidon then goes back to Ghirahim, whips him corner to corner, but Ghirahim reverses. Sidon goes up and headstands on the corner!

Ghirahim is confused and annoyed by this, then storms up, only for Sidon to stick his foot out! Ghirahim grabs that foot, but Sidon uses that to reel Ghirahim in! Sidon headlocks and hits a tornado takeover! The fans cheer while Sidon grinds Ghirahim down. Ghirahim endures, fights up, but Sidon fishhooks him! The ref reprimands but Sidon snapmares Ghirahim into a chinlock. Ghirahim slips out the back, hammerlocks, but Sidon reaches back. Sidon bridges to stand up, and then he flying-mares Ghirahim away! The fans fire up, Ghirahim hurries back, but Sidon OVERHEAD ARM-DRAGS! The fans fire up while Ghirahim tumbles out!

Ghirahim throws a bit of a fit, storms back up to the apron, but Sidon rushes up. Ghirahim drops back and tells the ref to hold Sidon back. The ref has Sidon step back but Sidon keeps wanting after Ghirahim. Ghirahim goes around the way, Sidon slips pats the ref to go out the side and cut Ghirahim off! Ghirahim backs up, Sidon storms up, and Ghirahim leads Sidon in a cat ‘n’ mouse game. They go back into the ring, and Ghirahim drops an ELBOW on Sidon! Ghirahim HAMMERS away on Sidon at the ropes but the ref counts. Ghirahim stops at 4 and eggs Sidon on. Sidon crawls, and Ghirahim KICKS him in the side!

The fans boo while Sidon sputters to the apron. Ghirahim tells the fans to shut up, then he storms out to the apron. Ghirahim drags Sidon up, reels him in, and soaks up heat. But Sidon shoves Ghirahim back! Sidon ENZIGIRIS and Ghirahim wobbles while the fans fire up! Ghirahim holds onto the ropes to keep from falling, and Sidon runs up to FLYING RANA Ghirahim to the floor! The fans go nuts while Sidon fires up! Ghirahim sputters and flounders but Sidon stalks him. Ghirahim staggers to his feet and leans against railing. Sidon storms up, CLUBS Ghirahim on the back, and the fans fire up again.

Sidon brings Ghirahim around, headlocks, and brings him along. Sidon tells Rusl to hold onto his drink, and then he SMACKS Ghirahim off the commentary desk! The fans fire up, Rusl thanks Sidon for the warning, and Sidon gives another thumbs up. The ring count is past 5 of 10 so Sidon rolls in. Sidon rolls back out, goes after Ghirahim again, but Ghirahim ELBOWS him away! Ghirahim then hops up onto the desk! GHIRA CUTTER to the floor! The fans lose their minds all over again while Sidon sputters. Ghirahim rises up, grumbles as he hobbles and drags Sidon up. The ref’s new ring count is now at 5 of 10, so Ghirahim puts Sidon in the ring.

The fans rally for Sidon while Ghirahim looms over him. Ghirahim scuffs Sidon, kicks him, and eggs him on. Sidon sits up and glares defiantly at Ghirahim. Ghirahim gets annoyed, and he scuffs Sidon again. Sidon still glares at Ghirahim, even as Ghirahim scuffs him again. Ghirahim throws forearm after forearm, but Sidon seems to be feeding off them! Sidon stands up and takes forearm after forearm! The fans rally, Ghirahim winds up, but Sidon ROCKS him first! Sidon fires body shots, then a ROLLING ELBOW! Ghirahim spins through to CHOP!

Sidon rolls back over Ghirahim, drags him up with a waistlock, then turns it to a wristlock! Ripcord, HARPOON!! Cover, SIDON WINS!

Winner: Sidon, by pinfall (advances to the Triforce Anniversary Triple Threat)

After the absolute sham The Dark Forces pulled, the Zora Prince serves up some justice! He gives a big smile and thumbs up, but will he be able to do this again in the Triple Threat Finals?

Bracket of Courage Final: Thunderbird VS Fin Balure!

The last piece of the puzzle is about to fall in place. The lucha Ruto crosses paths with the leader of the Arrow Club, one step away from the Triforce Triple Threat. Will Thunderbird be soaring into the tournament finals? Or will Fin leave him behind in the deep waters?

Arrow Club does hang around at ringside, but they respectfully sit off to the side. The bell rings and the fans rally up already as the two stare down. Thunderbird and Fin circle, the two tie up, and Thunderbird puts Fin on ropes. Tiger Sahasrahla counts the break, Thunderbird backs off and the fans cheer. Thunderbird takes a bow before he and Fin reset. The fans rally and even duel, “Let’s Go, Balure!” “THUN-DER-BIRD!” They tie up, Fin puts Thunderbird on ropes, then shows punch, but he gives hard pats on the chest as he lets off. The fans applaud while Thunderbird brushes that off. Thunderbird and Fin reset and the fans rally up.

The two tie up, Fin wrenches and wristlocks, but Thunderbird spins, does a flip, and he wrenches Fin to a hammerlock! They go around, Fin slips around to headlock and takeover. Thunderbird rolls it to a cover, ONE, and Fin holds on. Thunderbird rolls to the cover again, ONE! Fin rolls, drags Thunderbird up and wrenches to a hammerlock, then shifts to a headlock. Thunderbird powers up and out, Fin runs him over, but Thunderbird kips up! Things speed up, Thunderbird hurdles, but Fin bypasses him. Thunderbird rolls off Fin’s back and DROPKICKS him out of the ring! The fans fire up as Thunderbird builds speed!

Fin hurries out of the way, but Thunderbird handsprings, then handsprings practically in place! The fans are all fired up as Thunderbird poses! Fin is annoyed and Arrow Club tells the fans to quiet down, but the chant of “THUN-DER-BIRD! THUN-DER-BIRD!” echoes out. Arrow Club huddles up for a second to talk strategy, then Fin goes back into the ring. The fans rally, Fin and Thunderbird feel things out, and they knuckle lock. They go for the other hand, but Torbevito storms up to the apron! Thunderbird lets go to step to Torbevito, but this lets Fin CLUB Thunderbird on the back! The fans boo while Thunderbird flounders to a corner.

Sahasrahla reprimands Torbevito but Fin storms up on Thunderbird. Thunderbird fires a body shot, but Fin TOSSES Thunderbird out. Sahasrahla has Arrow Club stay back, but Fin builds speed now! Fin slides out, and he SLAPS Thunderbird down! The fans are torn but Fin grins and raises his hands triumphantly. Arrow Club applauds as Fin does his mock victory lap. Fin then puts Thunderbird back in the ring, the fans applaud, and Fin clamps on with an armlock. Thunderbird endures, fights up, but Fin wrenches him again. Thunderbird rolls, handsprings, and wrenches back, but Fin rolls, wrenches, slips through, spins Thunderbird, and arm-drags him for an armlock!

The fans applaud while Fin grinds Thunderbird’s arm down. Fin knuckle locks to twist the wrist but Thunderbird fights up. Thunderbird snapmares Fin, but Fin wrangles him back down with the wristlock. The fans rally, Thunderbird kips up, and he goes up to step over! Thunderbird then headlocks for a takeover, but Fin headscissors, only for Thunderbird to kip free. The two stare down and the fans fire up again! The two circle, tie up, and Fin wrenches, rolls, drops and trips Thunderbird to then tie up the legs. Thunderbird endures the leglock as Fin pulls on the foot. Fin then floats to get the arm and grind it down again.

Thunderbird fights up, Fin wrenches and wristlocks, but Thunderbird stands. Thunderbird uses the ropes to flip through, but Fin headlocks. Thunderbird powers up and out, drops down, but then avoids Fin’s basement dropkick! Thunderbird STANDING SHOOTING STARS! Cover, TWO! The fans fire up and rally behind Thunderbird again while he stalks Fin. Thunderbird facelocks Fin, Fin endures then fights around. Fin scoots back and reaches out, ROPEBREAK! The fans cheer, Sahasrahla counts, and Thunderbird lets off. Thunderbird then pushes Fin to a corner, stomps him, then snapmares for a chinlock.

Fin endures, Arrow Club coaches him, and the fans rally as Thunderbird bends Fin back. Fin reaches out, fights forward, ROPEBREAK! Fin again escapes by a literal foot and Thunderbird lets off. Fin goes to a corner and Thunderbird storms up on him. Thunderbird throws ELBOW after ELBOW, then whips Fin corner to corner. Thunderbird runs corner to corner and back again to UPPERCUT! Fin sputters and flops over while the fans fire up. Torbevito shouts at Thunderbird but Thunderbird tells him to shut up. Thunderbird eggs Fin on now, then whips corner to corner. Fin reverses, Thunderbird goes up and over to handspring away, but Fin follows!

Fin DROPKICKS Thunderbird in the corner! The fans fire up and Fin watches Thunderbird bail out! Fin builds speed, but Thunderbird gets in! Thunderbird RANAS Fin! The fans fire up more as Fin tumbles out and Thunderbird builds speed! But Fin is back! Fin hurdles, bypasses, and DROPKICKS Thunderbird back out! Fin builds speed and he FLIES! Direct hit on Thunderbird! The fans duel again, “Let’s Go, Balure!” “THUN-DER-BIRD!” Fin high-fives Torbevito and the Ducks before he puts Thunderbird in. Cover, ONE, but Fin clamps on with a chinlock. Fin thrashes Thunderbird, then shifts to a headscissors squeeze.

Thunderbird endures, even as Fin pushes up for pressure. Thunderbird pries at the hold, but Fin pushes up for more pressure! The fans rally and duel, and Fin CHOPS Thunderbird in the chest! The fans “WOO~” but Thunderbird rolls and rolls, ROPEBREAK! Now Thunderbird escapes by a foot. The fans rally as Fin lets go in frustration. Fin snapmares Thunderbird, covers, ONE, but Fin gets moving! Basement DROPKICK! Cover, TWO! Fin is further frustrated and he stalks Thunderbird to a corner. Fin stands Thunderbird up to CHOP! The fans “WOO~” while Fin stalks Thunderbird to another corner. And he CHOPS again!

Thunderbird goes to a third corner, and Fin storms up to CHOP! The fans “WOO~!” more as they go to the fourth corner. But Thunderbird kicks Fin! And CHOPS in return! And CHOPS! Fin CHOPS back! The fans fire up, Fin snarls and storms back up. Fin whips corner to corner, but just to send Thunderbird back to the same corner! Thunderbird goes up and out, Fin ROCKS him first! Fin runs, but Thunderbird springboards in! MISSILE DROPKICK! Fin tumbles all the way out while fans fire up more! Thunderbird hurries to get up and ESCALARA TORNILLO! Direct hit and the fans fire up again!

Both men are down, the ring count starts, and both men stir at 3 of 10. Thunderbird stands up first, and he drags Fin up. Thunderbird puts Fin in at 7, then hurries after him. Arrow Club coaches Fin more while the fans rally harder. Fin stands to CHOP, then runs, but Thunderbird follows after! Thunderbird ELBOWS Fin at the ropes! Thunderbird runs, but now Fin follows, and he CHOPS at the ropes! Fin runs, but he fakes Thunderbird out, and he CHOPS again! Fin whips, Thunderbird tilt-o-whirls, and he arm-drags Fin away! Fin staggers up, comes back, but Thunderbird dodges to come back and RANA!

Fin flounders to a corner, Thunderbird hurries up top! The fans fire up for the second rope PHOENIX SPLASH!! Cover, TWO!!

The fans are thunderous again while Fin is shocked! Thunderbird sputters as he sits up, but Fin runs in! PENALTY KICK, but Thunderbird rolls through! Thunderbird is up and the fans fire up! Thunderbird ROCKS Fin, runs, but Fin ducks a lariat! PELE! Fin then runs up, but Thunderbird dodges, SNAP GERMAN!! Bridging cover, TWO!! Fin escapes in time and the fans rally and duel as hard as they can! “Let’s Go, Fi-in~!” “THUN-DER-BIRD!” Fin goes to a corner now, Thunderbird runs up, but Fin BOOTS! Thunderbird GAMANGIRIS! Fin stumbles forward and falls, Thunderbird aims from the ground now!

Fin staggers to his feet, WHITE LIGHT- NO, Fin dodges Thunderbird! Fin comes back, SLING- NO, Thunderbird shoves Fin away! Thunderbird ENZIGIRIS! Fin falls into the drop zone and Thunderbird hurries to the corner! The fans rally, Arrow Club shouts at Fin, but Thunderbird is back up top! SHOOTING STAR but onto knees! Fin reels Thunderbird into a cover, TWO!!! Thunderbird survives that sudden turnaround and the fans are electric! Fin rises and roars, then he runs, SLINGBLADE! Thunderbird gets up, Fin runs, and he SLINGBLADES again! Fin drags Thunderbird up with a dragon sleeper, for the BLOODY SUNDAY!! Cover, TWO?!?!?

The fans are going nuts as Thunderbird survives, and even Fin is freaking out! Wait, is Thunderbird glowing now? Fin growls and goes to the corner. Fin climbs, COUP DE GRACE!! Direct hit, but Fin isn’t done there! Fin drags Thunderbird up, DEPTH- NO, Thunderbird fights that, wrenches free, and then slips around! POISON-RANA!! And then deadlift GERMAN SUPLEX! Bridging cover, TWO?!? Now Fin has shocked everyone! Thunderbird stays calm, though, and he goes to the corner again. Thunderbird takes aim right there as Fin slowly rises. Fin is dazed, Arrow Club is freaking out, but WHITE LIGHTNING strikes!!! Cover, THUNDERBIRD WINS!!!

Winner: Thunderbird, by pinfall (advances to the Triforce Anniversary Triple Threat)

An absolute epic has just concluded, and it is Thunderbird that has punctuated it with his victory! Fin is frustrated, but he surprisingly offers a handshake. Thunderbird takes it and the fans cheer. Fin heads out with Arrow Club, will they just have to go after other gold instead?

As for Thunderbird, he stands on the corner and shouts in celebration! The fans cheer him on, and then we see Sidon returning to ringside. Sidon applauds and gives Thunderbird another of those thumbs up. Thunderbird nods and gives that thumbs up back. Ganon, however, is conspicuous by his absence. Will the Zora Prince and Lucha Ruto teach the Gerudo Ace a bit about respect? Or will this become the Year of the Dark Forces?

My Thoughts:

Fortunately I’m not quite so under the wire as usual, which is good because I also have to get going on the Triforce Anniversary now. April 1st is looming, and it’s gotta be big, so hopefully I can get it all done in time.

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!

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 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!

Ganon looms over Zelda, but Zelda gets up in a huff and starts firing SLAPS and UPPERCUTS! Zelda wrenches and PELES the bad arm! Ganon staggers, rebounds, but Zelda ROUNDHOUSES his lariat away! 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!

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 waistlocks to GERMAN SUPLEX again! The fans continue to boo, but Ganon waistlocks Zelda again! Zelda fights the lift, then drop toeholds, only for Ganon to stay up!

Ganon grabs Zelda and YANKS her right up! Then he reels her in for underhooks, but Zelda wrenches free! Zelda chicken wings that arm, but Ganon fights off the crossface! 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.
