NAWC Series Five

For the wrestler known as Madness — it has been a good three plus years ago since the debut of the legendary tag team (M & M). Along with manager The Mook, brothers Brock and Dillon Mason have joined the exiled Keth Vale in forming a new group called The Marauders.

The tag team M&M have seen great success feuding with great teams within the NAWC such as, the Ragnarockers, New Kindred, Steven Rush & Von Braun, PRC and the rentless Primal Fear. Their only title victory was for the All-Planets Title which they were only able to hold on for three short title defenses before dropping the belts. Brock has ventured into singles action as of late doing battle with former GWF Superstar Mayhem over the name Mayhem. Brock holds the advantage over Mayhem if for no other reason then The Marauders numbers advantage. Critics say that if given the chance Brock could turn into a singles star, but with Vale headlining the singles matches and M&M's continued tag success a singles career is not in the future for either. Look for a serious title push, "The Mook" is out to prove he is the manager of champions and M&M look to cement their place as THE team to beat again within the NAWC and the inter-galactic Indy circuit.

Mayhem — also known as "Brock the Rock" has really hit the gym and blown up gaining almost 30lbs of muscle within the last good three plus years since his debut and his tag team (M & M). Along with his manager The Mook, the brothers Brock and Dillon Mason have joined the exiled Keth Vale in forming a new group called "The Marauders."

M&M have seen great success feuding with such great teams in the NAWC such as the Ragnarockers, New Kindred, Steven Rush & Von Braun, PRC and Primal Fear. Never title oriented their only title victory was for the All-Planets Title. They only made three title defenses before dropping the belts. Brock has ventured into singles action as of late doing battle with former GWF Superstar Mayhem over the name Mayhem. Brock holds the advantage over Mayhem if for no other reason then The Marauders numbers advantage. Critics say that if given the chance Brock could turn into a singles star, but with Vale headlining the singles matches and M&M's continued tag success a singles career is not in the future for either. Look for a serious title push, as The Mook is out to prove he is the manager of champions and M&M look to cement their place as THE team to beat in the NAWC and the Indy circuit.

Cyclone - "Karl Collins" — an Earth born wrestler, Karl has been with the NAWC since their relocation from Earth to the planet Alaara. The time has come for this former match opener and Sanctuary graduate to step up and take his career by the horns. Now in his late twenties the NAWC Council feels that it is now or never for this former blue chip prospect to make a name for himself. Karl Collins has kept himself distant from the many conflicts in the NAWC which is not easy to do, but looks for opportunities to make it big with his own merits. Time will tell if the Cyclone can make the climb to the top. In the NAWC's eyes that time is running out, so it's do or die time and this former Earther will show that his will, heart and talent are. He is more than ready to appease the hero hungry crowds of the NAWC.

Jac K' yl — is the first student of the "new Black Tiger" Training Academy to gain entrance to the NAWC. A native of the new home planet to the NAWC Alaara, Jac sought out the first NAWC Universal Champion Drake to begin training. At first Drake did not want to teach the brash would be student as he felt he still had plenty of gas in his tank to make a run at a major title. Finally, after capturing the All-Planets title Drake felt it was time to give back to the sport he has been apart of for the past twenty years. He finally agreed to train Jac, his son Drakardis and three other students.

Jac was a quick learner and soon picked up the finer points in a few months. Then in the later parts of his training, he was teamed with Drakardis for their eventual debut in the NAWC. Now after two matches with Drake as his partner while Drakardis finished his schooling, Drake is ready to unleash his Tiger Corps (Jac & Drakardis) upon the crowded NAWC tag division. It will be a trial by fire but Drake is confident that the brash would be student and his son can rise to the top of the tag team heap.

Haikuru is the Council of Wyrms prospect Ryuujin has staked the future on: a true protégé raised in-house, not another borrowed star who drags in another promotion's baggage. Kagirinai has promised a fresh wave of home-grown dragon talent, and Haikuru is the opening argument—fast-lane violence with a C.o.W. stamp. He and Moeru Tohkon now work as Dragon Forge, the unit the Council has thrown at the Bringers of Chaos while the war with Zargon still smolders at the edge of the map.

His offense is hard-striking and honest: kicks and ground-based work first, the air only when the numbers demand it. He can fly, but he would rather take an opponent's head off at the shoulder line or drive them with one of his two modified Falcon Arrows—the same geometry that powers his DRAGON KRUSH I and II finishers. Survive the first exchange and you still owe him a round of clinch, stretch, and spite before the three.

Outside the ring he is a whirlwind—always stretching, always drilling kicks, always in motion. He is loud, vocal, and quick to tell a rival they are not on his level, and he leans on taunts when the gate is slow to respect his skill. That should clash with Moeru Tohkon's slow-boiling reserve; instead the two mesh like flint and tinder, and the roster is left to wonder who will still be standing when a dragon's rage finally catches full flame.

Sam Moon — has been a wrestler, an announcer, a wrestler representative with the NAWC Council and he has been the leader of his home land Alaara. Over twenty years ago Sam wrestled under a mask and called himself Halfmoon. He has held titles all over Alaara and was considered the greatest wrestler of his generation. Then about fifteen years ago, war broke out on Alaara and Sam joined the military becoming a major player within the politics of the war. Then ten years ago after five brutal years of conflict, the fighting ceased and a new council of the five remaining nations of Alaara formed a council to control all political affairs on the planet called the NAWC.

Sam being the highest-ranking official in the Goldsboro Military was elected as their representative on the Council. The Council's first act was to create a Contest of Champions that would allow the winners nation control over the Council for a two-year period. Sam Moon won the first four contests and trained the fifth winner (Ciber Naught) and has kept Goldsboro as the leader of the council. Now after what some call questionable actions against enemies of his fellow Goldsboro natives, he has been removed from his seat on the council, his wrestler rep position and his announcer's job on NAWC Television. Not taking these announcements sitting down Sam returns to ringside as the manager of the newly christened Alien Alliance team. With political upheaval in the air (two nations have joined council and a third has arisen from extinction trying to reclaim their former seat of power) Sam and Ciber Naught have begun retraining for the Contest of Champions, which is a mere 2 months away. Sam has also been training his son who has donned his Halfmoon mask and looks to enter the NAWC in the near future.

The wrestler known as "Drakardis" or the Black Tiger II — along with his mother returned to Alaara at his father's side a little over a year ago after being brought up in the hostile planet of Dimension X. At first he was alienated by the sudden move back to his fathers side but he has taken up his fathers craft to follow in his fathers footsteps since he only knew him briefly in childhood.

Drakardis was originally separated from his father when his mother brought him back to Dimension X to attend school and learn of his people's beliefs. He is the first student of Drake and second one to gain entrance in the NAWC and along with Jac K'yl looks to learn the ropes as a tag team before his eventual ascension to the singles ranks. Gifted with unusually large paw like hands due to genenic splicing that is very prevalent in his mother's culture, Drakardis carries on the Black Tiger legacy by becoming the second incarnation. Strength, size and youth are on his side as he is only 17 years old but the inexperience of ring time could cause growing pains in this rookie prospect. The future is bright but will the expectations of being as good or exceeding his father stall the youngster's progress or will it fuel a killer instinct and take him straight to the top.

After a promising start to a young career that outpaced his years, Moeru Tohkon was claimed by Ryuujin and the Council of Wyrms—not a courtesy visit, a full re-forging. Under a brutal camp schedule, he was introduced to the C.o.W.'s newest acolyte, Haikuru, and the two were pit against each other on purpose: learn every tell, every escape, every habit of the other's defense before the masks ever came off. When the drills turned to tags, the timing clicked; the elders stopped seeing two singles egos and started seeing a machine.

What followed was a closed ritual where Moeru took the lifeblood of the Dragon Elders into his veins. He walked out of the circle heavier, harder, and hungrier—still the same blinding top speed—with a body that now carries the Council's full stamp. Ryuujin and the old dragons wanted to call him the Burning Dragon (the name you hear when BURNING DRAGON lights up a card); Moeru kept Moeru Tohkon in lights too, because its sense of a spirit that fights and burns is the road he is still walking.

Reborn as a tag driver, he now anchors Dragon Forge with Haikuru—the team Kagirinai and the C.o.W. are aiming at the Bringers of Chaos while the wider NAWC and O.S.S.E. tag field keeps shifting underfoot and Zargon's war still throws heat from the door. DRAGON RAGE is the punctuation when both men agree the night is over. The question is whether two high-tempo cruisers can outpace monster squads and ring politics alike—or be grounded by the very machine that claims to need them.
