Multivania IV, Day 2: Warzone

Multivania. The Showcase of the Immortals. The biggest stage in all of MNW. The "Mainest" of Main Events. Pandemonium in wrestling form. Tonight, C-Minus is joined by special guest commentator Eric Genericson, and all proceeds from the show would be donated to real-life Navajo Nation COVID-19 Relief funds.

"You're here, I'm here, LET'S DO THIS?!"

## Encore Match: Flashbang Tag Team Turmoil 2

In a special encore performance, Multivania Day 2 opened with the second part of the Flashbang Tag Team Turmoil mini-tournament: a 4-team Tornado Tag Elimination match. Facing off this time: The Special Forces, Dungeons and Destinies, The Forces of Nature, and the team of Madness and Mad Jester Fool. The winners would go on to face the winners of last night's Tag Team Turmoil after Multivania for the Flashbang Tag Team Title #1 Contendership.

As per usual in these complex matches, the action quickly devolved into chaos: everyone battling everyone else, constantly shifting and moving as situations and opportunities arose. As is also the case, the damage inflicted was brutal. After casually tossing around several wrestlers, and taking numerous top-rope splash moves Sgt. Thunder was eliminated by an opportunistic Big Rock. Almost immediately after, Rock's partner Huge Maine locked his signature Tree Trunk hold onto Macho Tank, forcing him to tap, and eliminating the Special Forces. Druthulhu was able to pin Madness on the outside, ironically giving MJF the opportunity to escape Huge Maine, who tried to pin him at the same time. MJF was able to come back against Huge Maine and pin him, leaving Big Rock alone in the ring with Dungeons and Destinies. Realizing they had to work together to overcome DnD, Big Rock and MJF separated and isolated the brothers. Lord Bareback was able to break away and help his brother Duthulhu pin Big Rock, eliminating the Forces of Nature. The Jester put up a valiant defense, but couldn't overcome the full-strength team, finally falling to Lord Bareback's pin, securing the win for Dungeons and Destiny.

### Promo: Registered Anon

To begin the show, The HR Rep Registered Anon assured the audience that he made sure everyone was in fighting shape for Multivania, despite several attempts and attacks backstage. He expressed his pride in the Tag Division, and his "disappointment" in other divisions for attempting to interfere with his efforts.

## Opening Match: Big OOF #1 Contendership Battle Royale

The big opener for the Warzone portion of Multivania, a massive Battle Royale match. The rules are simple: you go over the top rope and hit the floor, you're out. Tonight would feature: Wonderball, Absolute Washington. Power Surge, Lt. Phoenix Halix, Mr. E Nigma, Pengchi, DJ Millzner (fresh off the injury list), and Chaz Lee, all vying for their chance at the Big OOF Championship.

Naturally, the action was pure chaos. A close call for Pengchi, put over the top rope by Wonderball, got her tangled in the ropes long enough for a shove from DJ Millzner and a sneaky clothesline from Lt. Halix to fling former Big OOF Champion Chaz Lee over the top and eliminated. After pin-balling around the ring, smacking just about everyone in the face, DJ Millzner was put over in a high-risk running tackle from Mr E, eliminating the only other former Big OOF Champion in the match. Nigma then worked with Absolute Washington to try and eliminate Lt. Halix, to no avail, turning Washington back against Mr. E and eliminating him on the other side. The chaos from that scuffle sent Pengchi into the corner, who was quickly eliminated by an opportunistic Power Surge, in a "blink and you miss it" moment.

The action slowed rather significantly for the second half of the match, as all four challengers battled it out. Wonderball was able to place Power Surge in a precarious position, but was caught up in the battle between Absolute Washington and Lt. Halix. The slight delay was just long enough for Power Surge to prepare a counter to Wonderball''s charge and send him flying. After eating a double superkick from Phoenix and Surge, and a bit of a scuffle between them afterward, Absolute Washington was able to pick up Lt. Phoenix Halix and powerbomb him over the rope. That must have taken a toll on Absolute Washington, as Power Surge, in the same lightning-fast move that eliminated Pengchi, tossed him from the corner out of the ring for the win.

### Promo?: Trashman Jones

Immediately following Power Surge's victory, Trashman Jones interrupted the action to sing the Canadian National Anthem, frequently breaking to jeers from the audience. Through mostly incoherent rambling, Jones brought mention of secret plans from Shoot Nation, which he first approved, then took credit for making. He congratulated his Nakama Worldwide on their victories tonight.

## Match 2: Gore-Wheel vs Maximillion Thunder Thighs

### Promo: "Max Gore"

In a dramatic promo video, Gore-Wheel and Maximillion Thunder Thighs addressed their constant rivalry, vowing to fight with all of their strength, and win unequivocally. Followed up by a montage of various slams and moves they'd inflicted upon each other over the previous months.

Their rivalry had been building since their debuts, and grew when Gore-Wheel was added to Nakama Worldwide, only to be kicked out again for attacking Max in a match against Trashman Jones, accidentally giving Thunder Thighs the win. They blamed each other, naturally, and it only escalated from there. They also seem to have an odd jealousy for each other, actively interfering in each others' matches, despite both adamantly declaring they are "not OTP 2.0!" and their everlasting hatred.

The match started off with both Max and Gore trading blows. Max would gain a clear upper hand, but Gore would battle back. Momentum appeared to be moving heavily in Max's favor... until The Brass decided mid-match that it would become No Disqualifications, allowing Gore Wheel to turn the tide with a kendo stick he found under the ring. Then they seemed to enjoy taking turns slamming each other onto the kendo stick (and subsequently, the Lowe'stm hard wood flooring), before Max finally took up the "sword" and struck Gore hard in the back. Gore, true to his name, was able to bust open T. Thighs, but it wasn't long before both were bleeding profusely. They had scouted each other, perfectly countering so neither could land their big finishing moves. It was clear the frustration was building in the ring, until Gore-Wheel landed his eponymous Gore Wheel, which Max barely kicked out. Frustration coming to a head, Max was able to chain his big Thunder Thigh drop into his powerful Max Damage slam, keeping Gore-Wheel down for the count.

## Match 3: The Brawl 4 Most Warpgate Hardcore Championship

This 8-Man No DQ Hardcore Elimination Title match had a lengthy qualifier in the run-up to Multivania, as nearly every wrestler on MNW Warzone was eligible for these wild card slots. Ultimately, it was down to Jungos, Lade Hireold, Dagarik, D4C Trice, That One Schmuck, the freshly healed McMorgan, Gorm, and the reigning champion Notorious CAT.

The reigning strategy in a match like this is to pair off and hope you win your mini-match, and this one was no exception. Jungos immediately went after his former friend Gorm, while Schmuck isolated Dagarik. McMorgan wanted to battle Trice, leaving Hireold to CAT. A powerful ki strike from Hireold to CAT's groin in the ring sent the semi-stable battle into chaos as the various free radicals bounced off each other and collided into other battles, and the match only escalated from there. At one point, CAT slammed Trice so hard, his body phased through the ring post! Hireold found himself battling Gorm, taking big hits from the goliath, as well as Jungos and Dagarik on the outside. It took only one more heavy slam from Schmuck to put Hireold down, who was understandably baffled and shaken by certain events last night. The next to fall was McMorgan, still recovering from a vicious assault (and smashing out of his own lacta tank earlier in the week to punish his aggressors), his body finally gave out to a powerful Schmuck Movement slam and getting trampled by CAT using his Cat Scratch Fever running tackle on Jungos. Jungos and CAT battled savagely, with failed attempts to interfere by Schmuck, until Jungos landed a third spear tackle on the Script Daddy to put him down and guarantee a new Warpgate Hardcore Champion. While all eyes were focused on the titanic clash between Gorm and Jungos (and also Schmuck), Dagarik all-but-silently isolated the gladiator in the corner, finally dropping Trice with a Tombstone piledriver.

Though Jungos and Gorm continued to fixate on each other, they were split up once again by Dagarik and Schmuck. Gorm eventually overwhelmed Schmuck, tossing him back into the ring, and watching as Dagarik landed another Tombstone piledriver, and pinned him. Unfortunately, the Dagger's victory would be short-lived, as he immediately ate a Spear tackle from Jungos, pinning him. With no-one left to interfere, the two former allies battled it out. It looked like Jungos was in trouble, taking a Running Boom from Gorm, but countering with a Big Boot superkick, nearly taking Gorm's head clean off, and pinning him.

### Interlude: Trashman's Plan

The Shoot Nation "secret plans" Jones took credit for came to fruition between the Brawl 4 Most and the next match, seeing the thugs attacking Citric King backstage, and retreating when Helixux appeared to stop them.

### Promo: Raphael Samson

"Hearken! o Multiverse!" With his usual eloquence, Raphael Samson apologized to his partner, Sasquatch Wing, for his selfishness in the ring costing them their last match, and gave warning to future opponents of the Oh Lawds that the two would be in far better sync later on.

### Promo: Convict 311

After taking Juan Jobber's "piece of trash" lucha mask, he proudly boasted to Los Bell Bros, that he and Flame Revenant were coming for their masks as well as their titles.

## Match 4: Ausir Taran vs iAlbatross

A rivalry dating back to the earliest days of MNW. A Best 2 out of 3 Submission match, to settle once and for all whose submission hold reigned supreme: Ausir Taran's Trials of Osiris, or iAlbatross' Maker's Guillotine.

The match started off very cautiously, both men conserving their strength and stamina as best they could, trying to wear out the other. The Beefling, ringside by Ausir, attempted to cheat early on by throwing a chair into the ring and distracting the Ref, but both competitors ignored it, and Beef was issued a warning. Alba was able to apply the Maker's Guillotine five times to Ausir, but the VIPharaoh broke out, continuing to focus damage on Alba's left arm, including a painful arm lock over the turnbuckle. Ausir was able to land a devastating Judgement of Anubis into Trials of Osiris combo, but Alba summoned the strength to break free, even with his arm hurting. The sixth Maker's Guillotine finally forced Ausir to tap, scoring the first match point for Alba. Immediately afterward, Ausir chained two Trials of Osiris together, eventually forcing Alba to tap, for his first match point. The next submission would decide the match.

Alba decided to change tactics: instead of constantly applying his hold, he would attack the VIPharaoh's arms himself. The two showed off their technical prowess, countering each other's moves perfectly. Ausir attempted to use Alba's own Maker's Guillotine himself, but Alba broke the hold and countered with his own, which Ausir then reversed into his Trials of Osiris... which Alba broke again, and countered with his own version of the Trials of Osiris as turnabout. Ultimately, it was a chained spider hold on the ropes into a Trials of Osiris that finally made Alba tap a second time, ending the match.

## Match 5: Face Your Fears

The Faces of Fear signature style match, forcing a mishmash of four wrestlers to face them in a 4v4 Elimination match. Tonight would be a civil war grudge match, as Grizzly Adams, The Storyteller, Lucius Constantine, and Exar Kun would be challenged former Faces of Fear members, Ramund, Pestilence Demon, FearStrykes, and The Revenant, as revenge for their casual dismissal by Lucius. The match began with Ramund aggressively attacking Grizzly Adams, who quickly tagged in Lucius Constantine. Everyone on the other side wanted a piece of Lucius.

### Promo: Exar Kun

Played mid-match, Exar Kun's recorded message reminded the challengers that their fears run deeper than their bravery, and that training in The Under against Ouroboros has awakened his reflexes even faster, to "one thousandth of a second".

The Faces of Fear showed off their team prowess, teaming up on their opponents with fast tag after fast tag. Revenant was able to tank most of it for their team. The first elimination, unexpectedly, went to Revenant, knocking out Grizzly Adams on the outside on a count of 16, before making his way to the ring and tagging in Pestilence Demon forcing a "galaxy brain tactics" elimination. Unfortunately for the challengers, Lucius Constantine was in no mood for shenanigans, slamming PD and teaming up with Exar Kun to put the big demon down. Revenant was able to deliver multiple Half Life slams to Exar Kun, but the teamwork of the Faces of Fear, especially Exar Kun and Lucius Constantine using the same move that put down Pestilence Demon, dropping The Revenant for a 3-count. Lucius and Exar attempted the same team move again, now dubbed "Apocalypse Now", to Fearstrykes, but Ramund was able to break the count. Fearstrykes battled back, landing his Fallen to Fear top rope suplex on Lucius Constantine for the 3-count, with The Storyteller just barely missing the breakup attempt. Storyteller took out his frustrations on an exhausted Ramund, who went down fairly quickly to several big slams.

### Interlude: Lucius is Furious

Following his elimination, Lucius Constantine attacked Revenant backstage in a rage. He ate a punch in the face in response, but quickly put Revenant down again with a Devil Trigger slam.

Meanwhile, Fearstrykes did his best to hang on against The Storyteller and Exar Kun. The Terrornator was able to deal significant damage to The Storyteller, landing his signature Fear Strike. He was able to follow up with his Fallen to Fear suplex again, finally putting down The Storyteller. Both Exar Kun and Fearstrykes, coincidentally Master and Apprentice once, were utterly exhausted towards the end of the match. Exar Kun was able to trick Fearstrykes into the corner, setting up and landing his flying moonsault for the final elimination, and continuing the Face Your Fears win streak for the Faces of Fear.

## Match 6: Wilson, Son of Will vs Rapture Newroad

### Promo: Wilson, Son of Will

Calling out his new Big OOF #1 Contender, "Crapture Pooroad", Wilson reminisced that Rapture was his first-ever Singles match on Flashbang, which he "won clean"... to the best of his recollection". Wilson made it clear that Rapture was irrelevant and unknown, before completely losing his cool and cackling maniacally.

### Promo: Rapture Newroad

Rapture Newroad responded to Wilson's taunting by claiming to be above head games, despite Wilson's "issues". Rapture assured everyone, especially Wilson, that he was a fighter like his friends in DnD, and that the title belt was irrelevant, "the cherry on top". This match was just an excuse to kick Wilson's ass.

Rapture Newroad, supported by his wife Trinket, against Wilson, Son of Will for the Big OOF Championship. An unusual "rematch" of sorts, the acrobatic Rapture came out swinging. Unfortunately for Rapture (and Trinket), Wilson's trademark groin-based offense was also in full swing, right out of the gate. It became so offensive that C-Minus himself joined the crowd in jeering Wilson. Disrespect, snide comments, mocking behavior, the "I'm Prettier" slam, all part and parcel in Wilson's arsenal, but something in Rapture snapped when Wilson insulted his wife. No less than four Enrapturing Strikes, and two Enrapturing Slams in relatively quick succession brutalized Wilson, but simply could not keep him down. Wilson answered with every dirty trick in the book: multiple low blows and I'm Prettier slams, pulling the pad off the turnbuckle, even stooping so low as to pull out Brass Knucks and nearly knock out Rapture. When it looked like Rapture might regain the upper hand, VIP entered to interfere, but they were intercepted by Dungeons and Destinies and taken out on the ramp. Taking advantage of the distraction, Rapture Newroad was able to chain together his Enrapturing Slam into an Enrapturing Strike, and finally keep Wilson down.

In a touching follow-up scene, Rapture and Trinket kissed, and together held the title belt high.

## Match 7: Trash Brawl: Yakiniku Party vs Trashman Jones

In the weeks leading up to Multivania, Trashman Jones, declaring himself the strongest and the best, and insisting that he is "The Manager" and "Karen Supreme", set out an open challenge to his signature style match: Last Man Standing. Almost immediately, his former friend, Nakama Worldwide co-founder Yakiniku Party stepped up to "finally smack some sense" into Jones.

Right from the bell, Yakiniku's big speed advantage over Jones was apparent, landing quick strikes and using hit-and-run tactics. Jones, on the other hand, appeared more interested in gathering various items and tossing them in the ring, including a steel chair, a sledgehammer, a baseball bat, and both "690lb (Nice!)" steel steps. Finally in his element (surrounded by trash, apparently), The Trashman set about slamming Yaki into as many hazards as he could. One particularly brutal slam onto both steps left Yaki in full body spasm for several seconds, but he was able to recover and stand. Then, Yakiniku picked up the bat. Jones decided to run away from Yaki, evading him like a cartoon comedy sketch, before picking up a sledgehammer and turning to fight back. Their attacks landed simultaneously... on the Ref, who was knocked unconscious. Yaki tried to apologize and help, but took a hammer to the gut instead.

It soon became clear that Jones was firmly in control of the match, and Yakiniku Party had taken just too much damage... but Jones refused to let the Ref count him out. Yaki made him regret it with a series of high-flying maneuvers, a similar seizure-inducing slam onto the steel steps, even a baseball bat strike directly to the face. But Jones would not stay down. The fight finally ended when Jones caught Yaki preparing a hit, shouting "Trashman Special Move!" and punching Yakiniku Party in the balls, knocking him out cold.

### Interlude: Death's Fury

...but that wasn't the end. After the bell, a furious Helixux charged the ring, and beat the ever-loving snot out of the former role model for several minutes, as revenge for hurting Citric King, earlier tonight. Even the Ref got in on the action, clearly upset after being hit by the sledgehammer and baseball bat repeatedly. Ref deliberately looked away and did nothing to intervene while Helix "took out the Trash", as it were. He slammed Jones over and over again, directly onto the sledgehammer's head, and including his signature Death's Door slam. The only defense Jones could muster was weakly sputtering "I am the winner! I am the winner!" before throwing up in the ring and passing out.

## Match 8: Trios Title Championship: Lucha on the Rocks vs MEME

### Promo: Alpha Kong

Laughing off previous attempts at humor by Zako Duo and MEME, Alpha Kong berated his robotic opponents. Though he admits to being only a friend and substitute for Lucha on the Rocks, he defends their honor and titles with the same fervor as any Omega Club team.

[Editor's Note: My apologies to everyone, but due to schedule delays, the original source video was no longer available while writing up the show past this point. As such, most of the fine details and action were lost. Big thanks to our very own Bookkeeper for her detailed Booklets, allowing me to complete the page.]

### Promo: Zako Duo

Zako responded to Alpha Kong with his trademark witty retorts and insults.

The Main Event Mechs.exe were able to dethrone Lucha on the Rocks + Alpha Kong, winning the Trios Title Championship via pinfall.

## Match 9: Aiden Xero vs Louis McDonald

A rivalry that has been building since McDonald betrayed his former partner to The Inquisition. Aiden Xero was finally able to bring comeuppance to Louis, despite copious amounts of cheating from the "Evolved One".

## Match 10: Mega Money in the Big Bank

### Promo: Semjax

The Trustworthy One declares his intention to win.

### Promo: Justice Jhake

The Hero for Hire calls out his opponents.

### Promo: Burnout Vaughan

The One-Man Barfight boasts of incoming victory.

The highest-stakes match of this type to date, we saw Burnout Vaughan, The Beef, Daverman, Semjax, Da Funk, Justice Jhake, Dr. Grimm, and Cain all vying for a Money in the Bank title shot at the Multiverse Heavyweight Championship, currently held by HATsmoke. In the end, it was Justice Jhake holding the briefcase.

## Match 11: Tag Team Title Gauntlet Match

In a unique gimmick for Multivania, the Tag Team Title Championship would be defended via "winner advances" mini-tournament.

### Promo: Theron Eldrazi

Theron Eldrazi declared The Outlaws would win, revealing that he knew his team were last in the lineup and therefore had the strongest chance for victory.

### Match 11a: Oh Lawds vs The Jobbers

The first match of the gauntlet put fan-favorites, Sasquatch Wing and Raphael Samson, against the universally reviled Dr. Jobber and underground "cult hero" Juan Jobber. The Oh Lawds handled the Jobbers easily.

### Match 11b: vs Conquest Bloodline

Representing Conquest Bloodline, Feel Good Inc. and Carni-Val stepped into the ring. They were able to defeat the Oh Lawds.

### Match 11c: vs Omega Club

Representing Omega Club this time was the first-ever mixed tag team on Warzone: Megablitz X and Kelly. Unfortunately, they were not able to overcome Conquest Bloodline.

### Match 11d: vs Chained Hell

Flame Revenant and Convict 311 were next in line for the Gauntlet. They defeated Conquest Bloodline to advance.

### Match 11e: vs Shoot Nation

Next in succession was the Nakama Worldwide thugs, Devon and Suplex Sam. They were defeated by Chained Hell.

### Match 11f: vs Los Bell Bros

Veteran tag team Flyboy and Strongman Bell entered the fray. They were able to defeat Chained Hell and advance.

### Match 11g: vs The Outlaws

As declared earlier, The Outlaws, CJR Killer and Theron Eldrazi, were the final entrants in the gauntlet. They were defeated by Los Bell Bros, who claimed the Tag Team Title Championship.

## Match 12: Multiverse Heavyweight Championship: HATsmoke vs Nice Ice

The ever-popular, former Big OOF Champion, Nice Ice, secured a #1 Contender shot against reigning Multiverse Champion HATsmoke. Thanks to his dubious methods, HATsmoke was able to cheat Nice Ice and retain his title.

### Interlude: Justice is served!

Not content to allow a dirty win by the villainous HATsmoke, Justice Jhake surprised everyone by immediately cashing in his Money in the Bank, won earlier tonight, to face off against the champion. Continuing his cheating ways, HATsmoke kept the Hero for Hire on the back foot. Help from the rest of High Voltage, Chaz Lee and Aiden Xero, tipped the scales back, but surprise intervention from fellow super hero Daverman and - perhaps even more surprising - Pr0bunaga himself, finally allowed Justice Jhake to take the title.

## More Multivania!

That concludes Day 2 for Multivania IV, but it's only half the show! Don't miss out on the explosive Day 1, from MNW Flashbang!
