Despite being an alien, Gorpp is something of an everyman among a highly advanced species. Bored with the monotony of transporting supplies here on Earth in preparation for an impending invasion, Gorpp becomes enamored with the spectacle of professional wrestling. One night, in the year 1975, he tunes in to a broadcast announcing the world champion will be defending his title in Tampa, Florida, not far from where the alien invaders are hiding out, in underwater caverns below the Bermuda Triangle. Gorpp doesn’t realize being the world champion of wrestling isn’t the same as being the world champion of Earth.
He is determined to show he is good for a lot more than running supplies, so he decides to challenge Earth’s champion and either return a conquering hero, or die trying.
After becoming the first couple of wrestling on Earth, Gorpp and Gabby decide to take their show on the road, to Gorpp’s home world, a moon called Enceladus in the rings of Saturn. They assemble a who’s who of Earth’s wrestling greats and embark on an interstellar journey. What they don’t know is that there is one among them intent on sabotage.
Maxim is the nephew of former champion Dimitri Drozdov, known as the Russian Blackbird. Maxim rumbles into the ring on an old Harley Davidson and wrestles as the Son of Blackbird. Will Gorpp’s triumphant return to Enceladus be undermined, or will things take a turn no one on this historic journey could have predicted?
