*Mr. Lifeguard was backstage, standing in front of the entire HAW Roster*

Mr. Lifeguard: I've called everyone here to a mandatory meeting. I want to give all of you an update. My father is still hospitalized, in a coma. I have been working with the authorities, searching high and low for the man that attacked him. We could not find any motive for an attack...so I have come to this conclusion: Someone in here hired a man to throw my father from that building. But...who? Which one of you could have done it...maybe it was....Edward Findleton!

Edward: What? Me?

Mr. Lifeguard: Maybe you were a bit mad when he was revealed as owner...maybe so mad...you planned to eliminate him!

Edward: Why would I eliminate him? I mean, he, I..it's just...no! I didn't do it! I'm too weak to be involved in things like this! Honestly!

Mr. Lifeguard: ...I believe you...then perhaps it was...Franco Mancini! You hated the reffing. You hated wrestling Fun Fight Machine...and you had the money to do so!

Franco: Listen. If I wanted to eliminate Mikey Z, I would have made sure there were no witnesses. There would have been no evidence. And you would have NEVER...known it was me.

Mr. Lifeguard: Spoken like a true professional....well maybe it was...The O'Toole Brothers!

Fergus O'Toole: It wasn't.

Mr. Lifeguard: I know, just keeping you on your toes. But what about...Mitchell Row?!

Mitchell Row: Lifeguard, you and I have had our disagreements...and I had disagreements with your father. But I put my life on the line for this country, for people to have the freedom to speak their mind! I didn't like how your father handled the business, but I respected him. You have my word, it was not me.

Mr. Lifeguard: Very well....then perhaps it was...Hawaii!

Hawaii: You're just going to go around the whole room. That's what you'll do. And you know what Lifeguard? None of us sitting here had anything to do with it....unless of course....it was you who did it.

Mr. Lifeguard: What?!

Hawaii: Maybe you saw how much money Daddy was making...maybe you thought you could inherit his business...just a little push...and it's all yours! Haha!

Mr. Lifeguard: I would never do that! I.....ARGH! Meeting adjourned! I need to think....*The wrestler's began to file out of the room*

Hawaii: Good luck, Lifeguard. it's sink or swim time! *Hawaii left, leaving Lifeguard alone, pondering and upset*

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

*Liam was helping Frederic back up the ramp. At the top, Frederic grabbed a mic from a stagehand*

Frederic: Still! I am still HAW National Champion! That masked man...he has nothing! I have the gold! Me! Me! Merci! Merci!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

*Annie Bonkers was walking backstage, when saw Jack Trailor, with his head slumped in his hands*

Annie: Hey Jack...what's got you down?

Jack: I'm scared. I haven't won a match. I think if I keep not winning...they'll get rid of me.

Annie: They won't get rid of you Jack!

Jack: They may. I gots another match with Bigg Alex. I can hurt him...but it's Jessie. She's just so smart. She always jumps in the middle of us and ruins my con....concen....my thinking!

Annie: Well how about this Jack...I'll stand in your corner tonight! I'll give Jessie and Alex a taste of their own medicine!

Jack: Won't do no good...I just don't believe anymore. I don't believe I'll have a job...I don't believe I can win.

Annie: I believe in you!

Jack: You're just saying that...

Annie: No! Here...how about this. I'll prove it. I'll buy you your plane ticket to the next show! Because I KNOW you'll be there! I'll even make it first class!

Jack: ...Really? I won't have to drive?

Annie: Not a bit! Come on! Let's go show Alex and Jessie who's in charge!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

*Oden Schreiner was warming up backstage when Franco Mancini approached him*

Franco: Oden...look, I know we got off to a bad start. But I'm going to make it up to you! Let's make a deal, shall we? In our match tonight...you don't attack me...I won't attack you...AND....I'll throw in...$1000! Huh? Sound good?

Oden: No.

Franco: ...Look, it's perfectly legal what we're doing, what's the problem?

Oden: Make it $5000.

Franco: $5000?! Are you insane?! *Oden Schreiner cracked his knuckles and punched into his hand* ....Ok...$5000! *Franco quickly wrote out a check, and handed it to Oden Schreiner. He smiled and packed it away*

Oden: I like that. Trust me Franco, I won't attack you. Mainly because tonight, we are tag partners! *Oden laughed and walked away* Learn to check the match schedule!

*After the match, Franco Mancini took a mic*

Franco: Crash! Liam! I've got an offer for you! I've got an offer! *Liam and Crash, still hurting and clutching their bodies, stood up and looked at Franco* I'll offer you each....$5000 to withdraw from competition for the rest of the month! See, I've been told the PPV is between us three and Oden. So how about we just make it fair, and you guys get your title shot against me another month, ok?

Liam: ...No....I....I worked hard to get here. I'm not giving this shot up! *Liam walked out of the ring, then looked back at Crash*

Crash: ..........I accept this offer. You know why? Liam...you DO deserve this. You deserve to have higher odds to win! Don't listen to what anyone says. It's not that I'm afraid of Oden Schreiner or that I'll only take a one on one match! I...want what's best for you! Franco Mancini...I accept you offer. *Franco Mancini gave Crash a check and smiled, watching as Liam and Crash walked to the back*

Franco: One down....two to go! *He held up the World Title as the show went off the air*

 Edward: Ladies and gentlemen, at the last PPV, there was some very shocking events that happened. HAW owner, Mikey Z, was thrown off a building by a man. While alive, The Zaz has been in a coma since the incident. Right now at HAW, we would like to take this moment to- *Edward was cut off by Franco Mancini's music. He walked down to the ring, championship belt around his waist*

Franco: Ed, shut up. No one cares about an old man falling down. This is a results oriented business, and the results speak for themselves. I am the NEW HAW World Champion! *The crowd booed* Now, I wasn't too happy that an old has-been was the final image of the last show, and not me and my championship. But I'm a good guy. I can forgive that heat of the moment decision. But I will NOT have the start of this show be about him! It will be about the new reign of Franco Mancini! *The crowd booed* You're all too kind. Now, at this point, the old champion, the loser, would come down to the ring and interrupt me. Right? I bet everybody is just ready to see Fun Fight Machine come down and beat the crap out of me, right?! Who wants to see Fun Fight Machine?! *The crowd cheered* Well he's not coming down. Not for a long time. I drove his head through a table! Diagnosis? A concussion! He is out! He is not in this building! And that means that only person that matters tonight, is ME!

*The music of the MuscleGang played, and out came Crash, Frederic, and Liam*

Crash: Congrats Mancini. Way to go. You put a man through a piece of wood. You're a true champion. Actually, no, I take that back. You know who's a true champion? The MuscleGang. No one thought we would stick together after that match. But afterwards, we made sure the most important thing happened. We stood strong. For my part...I wanted to win that match. And I saw Frederic going for the pin on Liam. But I had this urge...this desire...to be the man to make Oden Schreiner tap out! It didn't work, but I was proud of my effort!

Liam: And honestly, I will let these guys pin me anyday of the week!

Frederic: Which makes moi, the HAW National Champion! A true winner, against worthy opponents.

Franco: So let me get this straight. Two of you are losers. One of you won a championship by having the two losers help you, and triple team a giant. And you think that makes you guys better than me, a man who won his match by himself?

Liam: You won against a rookie and a termite.

Franco: A Former World Champion and a long time veteran!

Crash: Hey, you only won against two losers! Atleast I lost to a winner!

Liam: Yeah!

Franco: That doesn't even make sense you idiots!

Crash: We're not idiots!

Franco: You sound like you are!

Crash: Are not!

*Oden Schreiner's music hit, the crowd erupting. He stormed into the ring, the other four men looking at him cautiously*

Oden Schreiner: I lost to Frederic St. Pierre....I lost...to the MuscleGang. They can keep their titles. But I have shown dominance as a singles competitor. Franco Mancini...I challenge you for the HAW World Championship, tonight! *Cheers*

Crash: Whoa! Hold up! Liam and I were challenging him. Sorry, but we were here first.

Oden Schreiner: You never said it!

Liam: We implied it!

Franco: There will be no world championship match tonight! None! I don't have to defend it tonight, and I won't!

Oden Schreiner: You fear me!

Crash: Quit talking to him in single person, we were here first!

Oden Schreiner: I don't care!

Liam: Freddie...get out of the ring, I think a fight's about to break out... *Frederic left the ring, and a ref ran down to the ring*

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

*Backstage, Gregory Greystone was with Mr. Lifeguard*

Gregory: Mr. Lifeguard...we saw the..the attack on your father at the end of the last show. What are your thoughts?

Mr. Lifeguard: ...My thoughts? You want to hear my thoughts? These are my thoughts! My father is a retired wrestler. His best years are behind him, we all know that. The man that threw him off that building...that man is a coward. I don't know who you are. I don't know what your motivation was. And I know you're watching right now. I will find out your identity. I will find out if you're just some sick, twisted man...or if someone put you up to this. And all I know is that when I find out this information...someone is going to pay. *Mr. Lifeguard walked away angrily*

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

*Frederic slowly rolled out of the ring, and took a mic*

Frederic: It....it does not matter if he wins! I let him win! I am still the National Champion! I am STILL the National Champion! Merci! Merci! *He put the mic down, then painfully walked to the back*

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


*Jessie Parran was in the ring*

Jessie: My name is Jessie Parran. I want everybody to know that. While yes, I am Bigg Pimpin Alex's manager and girlfriend...I have a name! I am not "that girl at ringside with Alex." I'm not "that chick that interferes in matches." I am Jessie Parran. And I am the QUEEN of HAW! I dare someone to tell me otherwise. I want an open challenge to any female in the back. It'll probably be some make up stylist...maybe an old ugly woman selling popcorn in the stands. But nobody can challenge me as Queen! And if you think you can, meet me in the ring, right now!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

*Glenny Pax was backstage with Jack Trailor*

Glenny Pax: Jack, you ready for our match tonight against Alex and Vernon?

Jack: Yep.

Glenny Pax: Good! Good! And you remember the plan...right?

Jack: Yep.

Glenny Pax: Great! How does it go?

Jack: .........

Glenny Pax: The plan, Jack! The plan! Describe it!

Jack: ....Win?

Glenny Pax: No! I printed out two copies! Didn't you read it?!

Jack: ...Nope.

Glenny Pax: Man, Jack. You gotta smarten up. Let's go. *Jack nodded and followed Glenny*

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

*After the match, Crash helped up Lovable Liam and walked up behind the still celebrating Frederic. Frederic turned around and looked at them for a moment, then held out his hand. After a few moments, Crash nodded, and shook Frederic's hand. Frederic then turned towards Liam, hand still out. Liam looked at Crash, then to Fred, then to the audience. The audience booed. Liam looked back to at Fred and shook his head no, eliciting cheers. Liam then hugged Fred, quickly turning the cheers back to boos, and the MuscleGang walked out of the ring together*

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Edward: Thank you all for tuning in folks, we'll see you next time- Wait...hold on...I'm being told something is happening outside the arena...Do we have a camera? I think we have a camera on the scene!

*The MuscleGang's music plays, and the three head out to the ring*

Crash: Tonight, was supposed to be a historic night. Tonight, the HAW National Championship was supposed to be defended against two fine men, Lovable Liam and Frederic St. Pierre. But they were robbed! You people were robbed! That match won't be happening? The idiot owner put me in a match against Oden Schreiner! This week, I am unable to wrestle. My personal doctor has declared I am not in 100% physical condition. So due to nature of my injuries, it is not possible- *Oden Schreiner's music hit, cutting off Crash. Oden walked to the ring, mic in hand*

Crash: What do you want?! You big brute!

*Oden held the mic up to his mouth to speak, then looked around at the crowd. Out of nowhere, Oden clocked Crash over the head with the mic and dropped it to the ground. Liam and Fred both charged at Oden Schreiner, but he grabbed each of them by the throats, lifting them up and giving a double choke slam. Oden picked the mic up again*

Oden: You three. Me. Four way dance next PPV. HAW National Championship! *Oden threw the mic down, leaving the MuscleGang destroyed in the ring*

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

*Mr. Lifeguard was backstage, looking into the camera*

Mr. Lifeguard: Hi folks. We are seconds away from the moment of the year! The wrestling debut of Mr. Lifeguard! So pay attention and watch closely! It just may save your life!

*Mr. Lifeguard was celebrating in the ring, when his music shut off, and Mikey Z's played. He came out to the entrance ramp*

Mikey Z: Son, congrats on your first victory! You seem to have had a bit of fun these past few weeks...so now it's time for a more challenging match. You, Hawaii, and Mitchell Row at the PPV. Good luck! *Mikey Z left, leaving Lifeguard looking a bit worried*

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

*El Termitas, Fun Fight Machine, Franco Mancini and Gregory Greystone were in the ring*

Gregory: Good Evening. In just a few days, the three wrestlers in the ring with me will be battling for the HAW World Championship. Tonight however, I am going to give each of these men a chance to speak their mind. I'll start off by asking the World Champion...Fun Fight Machine, are you worried about possibly losing your title, in a triple threat match where you don't even have to be the "loser?"

Fun Fight Machine: Gregory, a match with three wrestlers in still wrestling match. I do not have the control to make the matches. I do not have control over the other wrestlers. I only have control over me! That is why I believe to not worry, and to only give my best!

Gregory: Thank you. El Termitas...you're one of the best high flying wrestlers in the business. Are you worried about going into a more hardcore-themed table match?

El Termitas: Greg, it's like this. I'm a veteran of the squared circle. I've been in table matches before. But with my many years in the business, I've never been in a world championship match before. This may be my only chance. So am I worried about a table match? Not at all. Am I worried this could be my last opportunity? ...Honestly, yes. I need to make the most of this, and I need to prove to myself that I have the ability to achieve my dream.

Gregory: Very heartfelt. Onto Franco Mancini. Franco, recently - *Franco took the mic from Greg's hand, knocking Greg down to the mat*

Franco Mancini: I'm sick of this! Achieving your dreams...giving your best. You know who cares about that? NOBODY! Just stop talking about that all the time! There's one reason all of us wants to be World Champ, it's not self-esteem! It's money! The World Champion gets the big payday! I mean, are you people gullible enough to believe these guys? I mean, hey, I love wrestling! I get to legally beat people up, then wake up to a pile of cash! But if these people believe wrestling is a person's dream...then they are complete morons! *The crowd booed* What?! It's the truth! And don't you two look at me like that! *Franco pushed Fun Fight Machine, who pushed him back. El Termitas approached Franco as well* I knew it! These are your heroes! Ready to pounce on me! Well I hired help just for this occasion! *Jet Black's music hit and he ran out to the ring. The two teams faced each other down*

Gregory: Excuse me...uhh...I have an announcement...Mikey Z has declared that a tag team match will now take place!

*The show started off with El Termitas in the middle of the ring*

El Termitas: Ladies, Gentlemen...I've got a big announcement! You see, we don't just do televised shows. We do un-televised shows, making sure to visit all the cities we can! And last night at an un-televised show, I found out who I would be facing at the next PPV....Give a warm welcome to....your HAW World Champion, Fun Fight Machine! *Fun Fight Machine's music played and the crowd cheered as he ran down to the ring and took a mic*

Fun Fight Machine: Thank you very much, El Termitas! You and I will have a great match! I will give my best. You will give your best. The very best wrestler will win! I wish you much luck!

El Termitas: Thank you Fun Fight Machine! Together, our match can go down in history, as a match that will- *Termitas was cut off by Franco Mancini's music. Franco, looking angrier than the previous week, marched down to the ring, microphone in hand*

Franco Mancini: No. Nope. Your happy little match ain't happening!

El Termitas: And now give a warm welcome to Mr. Losing Streak, Franco Mancini! *The crowd booed, but Franco was unphased*

Franco: Losing streak? The only streak that's been going on, is the Franco Mancini gets screwed streak! But not anymore. I made sure of it. I talked to the higher ups, and it's not happening anymore.

Fun Fight Machine: Franco, you are a good wrestler! But understand, that the fans do not like a man who always complains!

Franco: Maybe they should! HAW has recently had some of the most disgraceful refereeing I have ever seen! Let's look at my rematch last week! Show the picture!

 

Franco: That still image shows Referee Denis Thompson's hand at the two count, making it's way down for three. It also shows me, with both of my shoulders off the mat, and being completely free of contact from Fun Fight Machine! Yet he still counted three!

Fun Fight Machine: It was-

Franco: I don't care! It doesn't matter! I didn't walk away with my championship! So you know what? Mikey Z was gracious enough to put me in the number one contender's match against El Termitas. Let's look at these highlights.

Franco: Number one contender, El Termitas...using WEAPONS! Physically assaulting me with a sledge hammer! To top it off, under the arena policy at that show, if a competitor bleeds, the match must be stopped. Yet referee Denis Thompson, again, blew both of those calls. El Termitas, why don't you direct the crowd to give Denis Thompson a welcome? Huh? Get out here Denis! *The referee made his way to the ring, paper in hand* Denis, I believe you have a prepared statement to make. *Denis took a microphone*

Denis: To the staff and fans of HAW: I, referee Denis Thompson, acknowledge that I have committed multiple errors in the Franco Mancini matches I have officiated. Franco Mancini's formal complaints to the offices of HAW should be handled in the most professional manner. That is why I suggest, that Franco Mancini be awarded one more match at the next PPV, as he challenges Fun Fight Machine and El Termitas for the HAW World championship. In the interest of total fairness, I withdraw my name from refereeing that match. Thank you for your time, and I will dedicate myself to be better at my job in the future.

Franco: Thank you Denis. How kind of you. It turns out, Denis's request has been approved. It WILL be a three way match. And to make sure no referee screws me over....it will be a tables match! *Franco threw the mic down and left the ring*

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

*Backstage, Mr. Lifeguard was in a make-up chair when Mitchell Row approached him*

Mitchell Row: Mr. Lifeguard, we need to talk.

Mr. Lifeguard: Sorry Mitch. I got a photoshoot to get to soon. No time for talking.

Mitchell Row: I am allowed to voice my opinion. This is America! And your disrespect of me and the Constitution just angers me!

Mr. Lifeguard: Whoa, dude! Dude! Don't start saying things like that. You make it sound like I hate America! I love this place! We've got the best beaches in the world! Now you on the other hand...I don't really know why I should show you respect...when you didn't show my father respect. See, I think your problem is, your anger is being misdirected. Don't be mad at my dad! Be mad at Hawaii!

Mitchell Row: I am!

Mr. Lifeguard: Well...good! So how about to get your anger out....you have a match against a certain....masked man?

Mitchell Row: ...If you make that match, I will defeat him, in Rat's name.

Mr. Lifeguard: Well, it's on! Go out there Mitch! Give the crowd a show!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


*Liam and Frederic were laughing as they walked backstage. They entered into their locker room, and saw Crash sitting there, head in his hands*

Frederic: Is something the matter Crash?

Crash: Yeah....this night is horrible. I just so...so...so BAD!

Liam: Awww... *Liam sat down next to Crash and put his arm around him* It will be ok. *Crash shoved his arm away*

Crash: No! It won't! I came here with plans to defend my HAW National Championship against...against you two. I wanted to keep my word to you guys. But you know what that idiot Zaz did? He put me in a one on one match against Oden Schreiner! Why would he do that?!

Frederic: He is a cruel man. But we have your back.

Crash: No! Guys...I have to do this by myself. Stay here. I will fight the good fight.
