The scene opens up to a somber, purple-tinted memorial to the late Julian Caesaro. Accompanying the center easel picture of Julian and the accompanying bouquet are Zachariah Zealot, CominAttraction, and Avalon Porter. Off camera, the entire locker room surrounds the general vicinity of the ring as Al Truistic begins to speak.
Al Truistic: We gather here today to mourn a great loss to the world of E-Fed pro wrestling. Julian Caesaro, better known as Julius Odomes, was a key member of the Fire Pro Wrestling Community. Through his contributions among feds like the Fire Pro Community Person Pack, Universal Battle League, SUPER NOVA, and his personally owned feds of Dragon Pro, GLITTER, and SEWA, Julian was a beacon of light in a practice normally kept in the public darkness.
Though his passion and energy can never be duplicated, the light he has shone on all of us to push harder, do better, and keep strong should serve as an inspiration to all he has touched on his time here with us. He may be gone, but he would have wanted us to continue along the same trail he blazed upon joining the community. And that is what we intend to do.
To honor his memory in true wrestling tradition, please rise as we toll the bell 10 times followed by a moment of silence in memory of Julian Caesaro.

The wrestlers exit as the fans make their feelings known for the late Julian Caesaro.
Out of respect, the dialogue will be done by me, the editor, as I reflect on some of the more memorable edits he and I have shared together as well as tributes to his contributions in the upcoming matches.

WonderZone vs. The Voyagers
Our first match showcases two separate stories of two teams in the prime of their careers. WonderZone burst on to the scene of SUPER NOVA after some successful streaming sessions between Ceese and I that for the most part showcased the talented Billy Wonder. When I figured out that he was teamed by Ceese with another one of his edits in Steve Zone as the team called WonderZone, I saw some real potential.
Originally, I brought them in under masked gimmicks as the original Space Tiger and Dimension Dragon and had them feud until unmasking and becoming a team. While they had some success in SUPER NOVA, they eventually faded into obscurity over time. However, as I was building another young, promising team in The Voyagers, I remembered how good WonderZone was and decided to give them a second chance in NEBULA Factory in a tag tournament.
With this, I figured booking this match would be an interesting way to kick things off.

Dragon Pro Showcase
Milo Crane/Jack Rabbit Cole/TJ Badasserson
vs.
Jax Palmer/Gravitas/The Colossus
Over the years, Julian Caesaro has really put a nice touch on a handful of his own original edits. This 6-man tag in particular showcase my personal choices for his best edits from my experience using them in my own work.
Milo Crane is a new edit on the NEBULA Factory scene, but has shown great potential so far and was at one time one of Ceese’s more deep edits with his storylines.
Jack Rabbit Cole was a surprise on the scene for sure. Beyond the goofy mask, he has proven everyone not to underestimate him and his flash ranas as he made his way to becoming NEBULA Factory Top Star.
TJ Badasserson has only been around for a short time like Milo in NEBULA Factory, but is super close to becoming a champ due to his sheer dominance in the ring with the dreaded Level 99 finisher.
Gravitas has also been a surprise considering he was one of Ceese’s last edits he’s worked on. Already an SNGW Comet champion, he still has plenty of potential.
Jax Palmer has also been an SNGW Comet Champion and is one of Ceese’s more colorful edits.
Finally, The Colossus, a former NEBULA Factory Top Star, is a young, immovable force to be reckoned with.
Should make for a good mix of styles in this match.

GLITTER Showcase Match
Molly Cule/Liza LuPone/Xiang Li/Orchid
vs.
Avalon Porter/Valencia Cruz/Gabriella Breeze/Catalina Maggia
This next match showcases what essentially became a starting point in my E-Fed career. For a short time, Ceese experimented with a joshi E-Fed named GLITTER. As a budding edit maker myself, I took the opportunity to debut 4 of my female edits to much praise.
To show my thanks for this, the original 4 edits I used will face off with some of Ceese’s best known edits. In a way, it’s an interesting look at how each edit has evolved since then. One edit to watch in particular from my group would be the return of Molly Cule. Story-wise fresh off of giving birth to her child with Dean Annay, she’s back with a new look and style that should be interesting.
On the other side, I found this match to be an important final match for one of Ceese’s best edits in Avalon Porter. While I’ve personally only booked her a few times, she is arguably Ceese’s best female edit and I feel like this is a fitting sendoff for her.

After the match, the wrestlers and the crowd shows their appreciation for Avalon Porter in her last match. She takes a bow to roaring cheers.
Entity Reunion vs. Heaven and Hell
Zachariah Zealot/Athrin vs. Tiger Sword/TheDenizen
I had to show the obvious Entity love here. While the two featured edits here in Tiger Sword and Denizen were the most recent and last additions during the group’s tenure in FPCPP, they are no slouches in the ring.
To make things more interesting, I had to participate my own edit as well in tribute to Ceese and made the unusual decision to team up with another one of Ceese’s friends and close adversaries of Zealot in Athrin.
Another great feeling from this booking is the fact that all 4 of the edits involved had some or a lot of involvement in the development of my E-Fed career. I feel it’s a great way to both remember that and remember Entity as well.

After the match, all parties involve embrace int he moment and acknowledge the fans for sharing it with them in Ceese's memory.
SNGW Interstellar Championship Match
Jester Jay (C) vs. CominAttraction
When I did this title match months ago, I thought it would be a one-time deal to show my sympathy for Ceese when he was still in recovery. Little did I think the worse news would come to me soon after.
Seeing as both CominAttraction and Ceese themselves really appreciated the match, I just had to do it again here. Not many people were as close to Ceese as CA was and I feel like he deserved another chance against another forum friend of Ceese’s in Jester Jay.

After the match, both wrestlers and the thunderous crowd celebrate the new SNGW Interstellar Champion in CominAttraction!
However, amidst the celebration, the theme of the night is clearly not lost on Cominattraction.
He places his newly won belt in the middle of the ring logo and acknowledges his fallen friend to a standing ovation from the audience. The crowd chants Ceese's name as CominAttrction exits in joyful tears.
Ceese touched many lives on his short time here on earth. As much as he was a champion and driving force in the Fire Pro Wrestling community, he was equally a champion in life by those who loved him, Things will never be the same without him, but his memory will live on in us forever. As a friend, this has been one of the most difficult things to do, but knowing that he is in a better place, I feel comfort in knowing that we as a community will all see him again as he smiles upon us. Until that day comes...
