*With the HAW theme music playing, the show opens, crowd cheering and pumped up*

Edward Findleton: Yes it is true! We're back on the air! It's HAW! I'm Edward Findleton, we have a great show tonight and-

*The HAW theme fades out, Rat's music comes on, and the crowd quickly changes to boos*

Edward: Well it looks like things are going to get started! Rat, the owner of HAW, is making his way to the ring!

*Rat reached the ring, took a mic, and smiled at the boos being directed at him*

Rat: I'm back! And you know what that means? HAW is back! You people now have a purpose in life! Now, you can give all of your money to me, while I send out guys in front of you willing to risk debilitating injuries on themselves! Everyone is a winner now! Except of course, our title holders...You see, after I beat some stupid lifesaving geek two years ago, I won control of the company. I was thrilled. But you know who was upset? Sponsors. Networks. Corporate Suits! They took HAW off the air! However, I think that was for the best. That allowed contracts to expire, and I could cut loose some people I just flat out hated. Others, eh...I let some others come back. But by letting contracts expire, 80% of our titles are vacant. No Tag Team champions! No National champion! And certainly, no World champion! Of course, our women's champion stayed....but no one really cares about that, right?

So let me get down to business on what the plan is. Vacant titles are useless titles, so we need some matches. At our first PPV, the Tag, National, and World championships will all be decided! For the most important title, the World championship...we will have a tournament! This week, there will be TWO 6 man tag team matches! The two winning teams will move on to the World championship match, in a 6 way free-for-all elimination match! National championship...we're going to have a bit of a loser's bracket. The winner of the loser's bracket will go on to face a man who agreed to give up his World championship spot in return for a bye to the national championship, James Calhoun! And for the tag titles, an alternate loser's bracket. We'll pair two guys up, and they'll face a newly signed team...The Chart Breakers!

Do you have all of that? Doesn't really matter, we're having our first qualifying match now! Bigg Pimpin Alex, Jet Black, and TJ Street take on Chet Citrus, Ruslan Panov, and “Baby” Luke Barnson!

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

*Rat was backstage in his office, when a door burst open and in walks Ruslan Panov, Chet Citrus, and Luke Barnson.*

Luke Barnson: What the hell was that?! Did you see that match out there?!

Rat: Yeah, you got pinned...in your first match! That's really pathetic.

Chet Citrus: I had a view on the apron. Baby Luke had Alex's shoulders on the mat, that ref refused to count three! He stopped an inch above the mat!

Rat: Wow! It's almost as if the only team in this tournament that was filled with rookie HAW wrestlers was prevented from competing for the World championship because it would do terrible buyrates, right? That's the theory you guys are going with, right? Look, all it was....was a simple mistake. I'll talk to the ref later, we'll find out what happened, and you guys have fun in the loser's bracket, ok? Now get out of my office. *Chet and Luke reluctantly left. Ruslan approached Rat and stared him down*

Ruslan: You're setting a tone your first night in charge. You mock people, you don't worry about anyone but yourself. Rat, you better worry about me. If not, this may be the second season in a row an HAW owner ended up in a coma. *Ruslan pushed Rat out of the way and walked off*
