The heat of Summer has passed, and the chill of Autumn is here. And with that Autumn wind, The Dark Horse Stampede returns once more, with the Clash of Fates as the goal! In the end, five young fighters will move forward while the others are left out in the cold. Who will rise above in the Fall? HPW Dark Horse Stampede on Cephla Lake begins now!

El Skulltula Negro VS Geozard!

The Black Spider and the Swamp Creature are to set the tone for tonight, so no pressure or anything. But will Skulltula Negro catch his prey in his web? Or will Geozard spit hot fire and blaze a trail to the Hyrule Coliseum?

The bell rings and the fans rally as the two circle, even with some airhorns going. Skulltula and Geo step up, and Geo starts slapping at Skulltula. Geo grabs at Skulltula’s mask! The ref reprimands, Skulltula breaks free, and they clinch. Skulltula puts Geo on the ropes, the ref counts, and Skulltula lets off slowly. But he’s standing on Geo’s foot!

Omfak VS Vaati!

The Shape Shifter has been campaigning for entry into the Dark Forces, so this might be less a chance at the Hyrule Warriors match than an audition for Ganon’s consideration. But will Omfak’s rumored “Three Faces of Evil” style do the trick? Or will the “small yet mighty” Wind Sorcerer be ready with tricks of his own?

The two step up and we see Vaati is indeed on the smile side. The bell rings and the two circle. They feel things out, and Omfak mocks Vaati’s height by calling for a Test of Strength, but with his hand way up high. The fans chuckle, but then Vaati KICKS Omfak in the leg! The fans cheer, Omfak swings but Vaati bobs ‘n’ weaves. Vaati KICKS Omfak’s leg again, but Omfak ELBOWS Vaati in return. Omfak runs, Vaati dodges the lariat, then comes back to duck an elbow!

Omfak spins, but Vaati swings through to sunset flip! TWO!! Omfak escapes in time and the fans fire up! Vaati tells Omfak it was that close, and that upsets Omfak. Omfak and Vaati reset, tie up, and Vaati slips around to waistlock. Omfak pries the hold open, switches with Vaati, and Omfak SLAMS Vaati down. Omfak floats all over Vaati, slaps him around, and pushes him down. The fans boo, Omfak tells them to shut up, but then Vaati UP KICKS Omfak! Omfak staggers, Vaati runs up and uses the ropes to TORNADO DDT! Omfak tumbles and Vaati hurries after, but Omfak is already on the outside. The fans boo and Vaati is already frustrated.

Vaati goes out to the apron and he aims at Omfak. Vaati runs and leaps, but Omfak dodges! Vaati stumbles, and Omfak DECKS him with a right forearm! The fans boo but Omfak soaks up the heat. The ref starts the ring count, Omfak drags Vaati up, and he puts Vaati back in the ring at 4 of 10. Omfak storms up the steps to step into the ring, and he stalks Vaati while talking trash. Vaati stands, Omfak ROLLING- NO, Vaati ducks the elbow! And CHOP LARIATS! The fans fire up with Vaati while Omfak sputters around! Omfak goes back to the apron, but Vaati hurries after. Vaati says, “Not this time!” and he drags Omfak up.

The fans boo and tell Omfak that he’s sick while the ref reprimands! Omfak stops at 4, and his giant mouth-face has a certainly sadistic grin on it. Omfak then goes back to his wolf head so he can MONKEY FLIP Vaati away! The fans continue to boo while Omfak kips up so smooth.

Omfak taunts Vaati, Vaati slowly rises up, and Omfak uses his lion head as he runs up! But Vaati dodges to POST Omfak! The fans fire up as Omfak slumps to the apron! Omfak flops from the apron to the floor, Vaati goes back to the apron, and he runs up again! FLYING DROPKICK! The fans fire up as Vaati hits Omfak this time, sending him tumbling towards railing!

Cover, Vaati wins!

Winner: Vaati, by pinfall (advances to Clash of Fates)

Well, this doesn’t bode well for Omfak’s chances of joining The Dark Forces. Vaati stands tall for being short, will this win be the wind beneath his wings to help him reach the top of HPW?

Jolene VS Bellumbeck!

The She-Pirate has made land in Hyrule Pro-Wrestling, but so has the Iron Buccaneer. They’re rivals from the indies, so them battling again is far too fitting. But who will win the fight and claim the booty that is a ticket to Hyrule Coliseum?

The bell rings, Bellumbeck runs up, but Jolene dodges! Bellumbeck dodges back, and both avoid kicks. The fans fire up for the standoff, and the two reset. They feel things out, clinch, go around, and the fans rally. Bellumbeck puts Jolene on ropes, lets off as the ref counts, and the two reset. They feel things out again, Bellumbeck has the ankle pick then a float over. Jolene fights up, waistlocks, then she spins Bellumbeck to snapmare and chinlock. Bellumbeck wrenches out, but Jolene wrenches back. Bellumbeck powers through to wrench again, but Jolene gives that back! The fans rally as the armlocks go back and forth!

Jolene’s tougher than all that and Bellumbeck is annoyed. Bellumbeck tells the fat idiots to shut up. Sounding like an Iron Savage here as Bellumbeck whips Jolene hard into a corner. Bellumbeck runs up to BACK BODY BLOCK! Bellumbeck goes side to side to forearm SMASH! But Jolene turns things around to fire off shots! The fans fire up, the ref counts, but Jolene UPPERCUTS then runs! Jolene comes back, HYDRAULIC DROPKICK!

Jolene drags Bellumbeck up as the fans rally, but Bellumbeck blocks the suplex! Bellumbeck suplexes high and hard, and the fans boo. Bellumbeck snarls, goes to a corner, and he climbs up! Bellumbeck is a bit wobbly, though, and Jolene ROCKS him first! Jolene goes up, brings Bellumbeck to the top, and the fans fire up! But Bellumbeck fights the suplex!

Jolene smirks, and she pats Bellumbeck on the head as thanks for a “good time.” Will Jolene have an even better time now that she’s in the Hyrule Warriors match?

Silver Darknut VS Fraaz!

If you’re wondering, this is the younger brother to Red Nut & Blue Nut of the Darknut Family. But as such, he is ready to shine all on his own! Will he do just that here in the main event? Or will Mr. Hot-Headed, Cold-Blooded Killer snatch the last golden ticket?

The bell rings and the two circle. They feel things out while the fans rally. They tie up, and Silver digs in his heels as Fraaz tries to push him. Silver doesn’t budge, and he shoves Fraaz away. Fraaz huffs ‘n’ puffs and storms up to get face to, well, chest with Silver. Silver pushes Fraaz again, then ROCKS him! The fans are torn as Fraaz staggers. Fraaz shakes that off, and he puffs up!

Winner: Silver Nut, by pinfall (advances to Clash of Fates)

The main event is the fastest match of them all, but that speaks to the power of the Silver Nut! Will he prove himself a true Hyrule Warrior and go after the gold?

My Thoughts:

Finally not doing one of these under the wire, though maybe I was rushing through them? Not sure, maybe I could’ve gotten more out of that main event. At the same time, Fraaz’s gimmick is a bit more a comical wrestler than serious. And El Skulltula is a Hylian (elf) luchador, just to help everyone’s imagination. Here’s to making their spots during Clash of Fates, and Clash of Fates as a whole, some great stuff.
