From the Icarus Spectrum, Earth

Black Death fans from across the galaxy have descended on Earth for tonight’s card.  This is the final regular card before the final three SuperCards that will end 2128 and expectations are running high!  Tonight we find out the other wrestlers and team who will be moving on to BETRAYAL and CIVIL WAR.

Already Qualified for the BETRAYAL tournament: Gryt, Bex, Tauran & Paralyze.  Tonight, four other men will join them.  By the end of the BETRAYAL tournament, one will be the new GALAXIAN CHAMPION.  Qualified for CIVIL WAR already are the teams of BLACK DEATH SPELLBOUND and RECONCILIATION.  Tonight, three teams will join them in the tournament to determine who gets a title shot against THE IMMORTALS at BIG BANG!

BETRAYAL QUALIFYING MATCH
Hector, The Holy Brown Bear d. Panther Warrior via pin with I KNOW YOUR SECRET – *
– After the match, TRICKS appears out of nowhere and begins attacking the fallen PANTHER WARRIOR!  Before anyone can react he smashes the ringsteps on PANTHER WARRIOR’S left leg, leaving the ANI-MAN crying out in pain.  TRICKS gets run off by SWARM and MANTIS and PANTHER WARRIOR is hovered out on a stretcher.  Lost in all this, Hector, The Holy Brown Bear advances.

CIVIL WAR QUALIFYING MATCH
FEDERATION DEFENSE FIGHTERS WATCHMEN d. PAYBACK TIME via pin when HelSin hits Overtime with STAKE TO THE HEART – DUD
 – This wasn’t even a contest.  OVERTIME wanted to start the match and HelSin and PSI made him look like a rookie, never allowing the tag and just completely destroying him.  PAYBACK was furious after the match.  The WATCHMEN advance. 

BETRAYAL QUALIFYING MATCH
Sur d. Aethran Overmaster via submission with GIFT OF THE GODS – *****/SQUASH – 
Apparently attempting to show up BEX, SUR just trounced OVERMASTER here.  OVERMASTER got in no offense and even THE LEVELER couldn’t turn the tide in the directio of the Gladiator.  The crowd goes crazy as SUR advances to the next round!

CIVIL WAR QUALIFYING MATCH
ULTIMATE FIGHTERS d. WARRIORS BORN via pinfall when Clinch hits Thraxx with an overhand right – SQUASH – 
Another quick match here as the ULTIMATE FIGHTERS just trounce THRAXX and THARKAS.  After the match they spend a few minutes doing their wild arm gestures much to the chagrin of the pro-Black Death crowd.

BETRAYAL QUALIFYING MATCH
UltraMantis Black d. Monolith via DQ when Monolith delivers a piledrive on the ringsteps to his opponent – *1/2 –
For some reason, right off the bat, ULTRAMANTIS BLACK didn’t look like he was in any shape to wrestle.  He was limping pretty badly and appeared to have bandages on under his gear.  He still got in the ring and when the bell sounded he was like a man possessed!  He was getting in blinding offense against MONOLITH, stunning the big man.  Never one to be made a fool of, MONOLITH lost his temper and took the action outside the ring.  Despite THE GUARDIAN’S warnings, MONOLITH delivered the blow that cost him the match.  ULTRAMANTIS BLACK advances!

CIVIL WAR QUALIFYING MATCH
RUSH & TURMOIL d. TRICK & NOSFERA via pinfall when Turmoil hits Tricks with CHAOS IN THE CROWD – *1/2 – 
The GLADIATORS are on a mission to reclaim their titles and they proved it here tonight, laying waste to the odd team of TRICKS & NOSFERA.

BETRAYAL QUALIFYING MATCH
Endgame d. Abroz via pinfall after the ULTIMA LEAP – *1/2 – 
The crowd, as always, hated ENDGAME from the moment he appeared.  THey hated him even more so after he demolished ABROZ and advanced in the BETRAYAL tournament.

The crowd booed loudly and threw garbage at ENDGAME as his hand was raised.  It’s this we see as we…
