*Athena was walking basckstage, her belt on her shoulder, when a fan ran up to her*

Fan: Athena! Athena! Can I get an autograph?


Athena: Sure! Do you have a pen or anything to-OOF!


*Athena was hit from behind with a metal pipe by Crystal Cyclone, causing Athena to fall to her knees. Crystal began to repeatedly swing the pipe onto Athena's back*


Crystal: I'm going to be HAW Women's Champion! Not you! ME!


*Athena tried to get up, but Crystal brought the pipe up to Athena's neck and began to choke her*


Crystal: Calhoun promised me a title match against you! See you at the pay per view! *Crystal released the pipe and let Athena fall to the ground, unconscious*

*After the match, Bigg Pimpin' Alex picked up a mic*


Alex: See that, Row? You thought you were tough stuff beating this guy last week! I crushed him too! Just like I'm going to crush you!


*Mitchell Row's music hit, and the crowd erupted. He ran towards the ring*


Edward Findleton: Mitchell Row! He's ready to fight Bigg Pimpin' Alex right now!


*Row slid into the ring, and him and Alex began to trade blows. Mitchell Row blocked one of Alex's punches, then whipped him into the ropes and hit a clothesline*


Edward Findleton: And the champ is down! Mitchell Row is looking to put Alex away, just waiting for him to get to his feet!


*Alex slowly started to stand up, Mitchell Row sizing him up. Right before Alex turned around, Jessie Parran ran into the ring, and grabbed Mitchell Row's arm. He turned towards her, trying to get her to let go. He finally pushed her off, then turned back towards Alex, only to be met with a kick to the guy. Row bent over, and Alex picked him up, and hit him with the piledriver*


Edward Findleton: And now Row is down, and he is out of it!


*Bigg Pimpin Alex put a foot on Mitchell Row's chest, and Jessie Parran got to the mat to give a 3 count, then raised Alex's hand*


Edward Findleton: There you have it! If Bigg Pimpin Alex hits that piledriver on Mitchell Row at the pay per view...it's over! Alex sending his message loud and clear!

*Hawaii was pacing back and forth backstage, talking to himself*

Hawaii: I'll win tonight...I'll destroy the clown. KILL THE CLOWN! Haha! He'll be a sad clown. His make up...his beautiful make up will run down his face from his tears! Or from his blood! HAHAHA! Then he'll see....he will understand! Calhoun will give me the title match! Yes! Hahaha! What? Oh...it's him. It's him!

*Drizzles the Clown walked up to Hawaii and stared at him for a good ten seconds*

Hawaii: What?! What do you want?!

Drizzles: You should not speak your mind so soon, for I have talked to James Calhoun! "Words can be lies" is what he said, your title hopes will soon be dead! For Drizzles will be the one to beat you down, and then you will fear this sad little clown!

Hawaii: NO! I'm going to kill you. My hopes won't be dead, you'll be dead!

Drizzles: See you in the ring, and good luck my friend! You'll come to accept, that this is the end!

*Drizzles walked away backwards, staring at Hawaii the entire time*

Hawaii: No....no...I'll kill the clown...I'll kill the clown...I'll kill the clown.......

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

*Bigg Pimpin' Alex's music hits, and he came down to the ring with Jessie Parran. Both took microphones*

Jessie Parran: Gentlemen...and ladies. Allow me to introduce the HAW World Champion...Bigg Pimpin' Alex!

Alex: Thank you Jessie, and you look smoking as usual! But I just wanted to come out here and show to you all...my championship gold! Last year, no one thought I could be HAW World Champion. This year, people thought I lucked out or cheated. Well I DESTROYED Luke Barnson! He went crying all the way home! That's a message! Anyone who comes into my territory and tries to take my things...you're going to be sorry!

*James Calhoun's music hits, and he walked out onto the stage area*

James: Hello Alex. I'm really happy to hear you say these things. You've got quite the bit of confidence in your voice, and I admire that. I admire it so much, I'm coming to ask you...no...BEG you for a favor. See, I inherited a little problem from Rat when he put me in charge. That was Mitchell Row. I need him out of this company. I thought maybe use The Behemoth, but Mitchell already beat him....so who better to go to than the HAW World Champion himself, Bigg Pimpin' Alex?

Alex: Calhoun, if Row comes out here right now, your problem will be solved!

James: Now hold on, I can't do that right now. These fans payed for a television taping...not a pay per view taping. They don't deserve to see a match of that quality.

*The crowd booed Calhoun's words*

James: Alex, I just need to promise me you'll beat Mitchell Row so badly, he quits.

Alex: If you want a promise, then I promise!

James: Good. Because if you fail, he wins the HAW World Championship. So we both benefit from this. But right now, I need you to get out of the ring. Mitchell Row will be trying to prove himself against TJ Street...right now!

*The camera faded in to show Gregory Greystone, backstage*

Gregory: I'm here with my guest at this time...Athena.

*Athena walked into the shot*

Gregory: Athena, you're just seconds away from this handicap match against The Behemoth. Are you nervous?

Athena: Maybe a little. The Behemoth has done some damage to people in his short wrestling career. The Zaz, Annie Bonkers, and many others. But at the same time, I feel strangely confident.

Gregory: Because of your partner?

Athena: Exactly. Win or lose, I can't wait to see Rat's face after this match.

Gregory: I'm getting the signal that you're up next! Good luck Athena!

Athena: Thanks Gregory. *Athena walked off*

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

Edward Findleton: I'm getting word...there's some developing action going on backstage! We've got a camera on the scene!

*Rat was storming around the arena, knocking random items over*

Rat: Screw them! Screw all these people! Screw everyone! They can't do this!

*Rat pushed a few random employees out of the way, seemingly on a warpath. As Rat continued along, he crossed paths with James Calhoun, who was holding his head and still sweating from his match*

Rat: Get out of here Calhoun! I'm done with everyone!

James: Now....allow me to catch my breath for a second, but you seem to be troubled.

Rat: Damn right I'm troubled! Mitchell Row is back! I won a match to get that guy fired, and now I'm tricked into signing a contract? Where's Lincoln?! I want that contract terminated or I quit!

James: Hold up Rat. Don't be too rash. I can see your frustration. It was a cruel, dirty trick that Athena played on you. But quitting your own company? That's not very logical.

Rat: I don't care!

James: You do care, or else, you wouldn't be this angry. Allow me to offer a suggestion...take a break. A little vacation. Go away for a month and recharge those batteries. But don't quit. It's just not wise.

Rat: ...You're right. I'm not quitting. I just need to fire Mitchell Row and relax!

James: Relaxation should be your number one priority, not doing legal work! I have an idea. Let me take care of Row. Put me in charge on a purely interim basis, you'll come back happier than ever. I promise I'll solve all of your problems, and you won't lose a penny or a wink of sleep.

Rat: You promise?

James: A man is only as good as his word. I promise.

Rat: ...Deal. You're in control for this next month. Just solve these problems. It's vacation time for Rat!

*Bigg Pimpin' Alex was warming up backstage, Jessie holding his HAW World Championship on her shoulder, when Baby Luke Barnson approached them*

Baby Luke: Hey Jessie...it's a nice title you got there. But I got to admit, it would look a lot better off of you...and on me.

Jessie: Sorry, but I only talk to men, not little babies.

*Alex approached closer and got into Luke's face*

Alex: I bet you worked all day on that one...and she destroyed you in a five seconds. That's only two seconds longer than you'll last in the ring with me. See, unlike Jessie, I don't mind making babies cry. In fact, tonight, I'll enjoy it!

Baby Luke: The bigger they are, the harder they fall. *Baby Luke smiled, then walked off, ready for his match*

*James Calhoun was walking backstage, when Ruslan Panov stepped in front of him, blocking his path*

James Calhoun: Excuse me sir, but I have a match to participate in. I'd appreciate it if you just stepped out of the way for me.

Ruslan: You have a match against Tarik. Rumors are saying you're defending your HAW National Championship against him next week at the PPV. I actually DEFEATED Tarik! You're a coward! You fear me!

James: I fear the man who I defeated for this title? No, you're wrong. You're so wrong...you're only half right! See, I'm defending the title against Tarik. But, I'm also defending against you, in a triple threat match. So put aside the anger for now and save it for next week, ok?

Ruslan: ...Why? Why would you willingly put yourself in a triple threat match?

James: Because it's all about resume building, like I've said in the past! People look and say “Wow, that man was a 10 time tag champion and an 8 time world champion! He was good!” This hypothetical man could have held those titles for a grand total of 5 minutes, but no one will care about that. They care about the number of reigns. If I lose this title, it won't matter. It gives me an opportunity to gain it back and become a two time HAW National Champion. Or I could move onto something else. Does this answer your question, Panov? Now excuse me, I have a match! *Calhoun pushed Ruslan Panov aside and walked away*

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

*Rat was backstage in his office on a computer, when the door to his office burst open, Luke Barnson entering with a clipboard in his hand*

Luke: Rat! What are you doing to these refs?!

Rat: Calm down now-

Luke: He didn't bring his hand down for the pin attempt last week! I had Jet Black pinned!

Rat: Well, you see-

Luke: 1-2-3! That was the match! But the ref didn't bring his hand down again! Why not?!

Rat: I guess-

Luke: The only answer I'm accepting from you is to officially sign off on this contract for a HAW World Championship match, me against Alex!

Rat: That could possibly- *The door burst open again, Athena also walking in with a clipboard* Oh great, you...

Athena: You sent The Behemoth to end Annie's career?!

Rat: You basically asked-

Athena: I wanted a fair match! Not something like that! Do you want me to start a boycott?!

Rat: Not exactly, but-

Luke: You're a corrupt owner!

Rat: I just-

Athena: You need to be out of here!

Rat: That's not really-

Athena: Sign this! Sign it or I start a protest! *Athena slammed down her clipboard*

Rat: Uhh...what exactly is this?

Athena: A handicapped match against, two on one against The Behemoth!

Rat: Fine...

Luke: And mine! Sign mine as well!

Rat: OK! Shut up, the two of you! *Rat signed both contracts then threw his pen across the room* You know what? You two come in here, making demands like this? I'm putting you both in a match. You two will go against Bigg Pimpin' Alex and Jessie Parran! Right now! Go! *Luke and Athena took their contracts and walked off. Rat sat down in his desk and buried his head in his hands. Athena then walked back to Rat*

Athena: By the way, I really think you're going to regret who you signed as my partner for that match. *Athena smiled and walked off, as Rat stared at her with a worried look*

*The show opens up with Rat in the middle of the ring, microphone in hand*

Rat: Hello! Welcome to another episode of HAW! I stand before all of you tonight, because I need to update you, the fans, on the current state of HAW. I begin with some sad news...I don't know how this happened but.........Annie Bonkers was seriously injured during her match with The Behemoth last week. I apologize, this is my fault! I should have never have let that match take place, but....Athena just wouldn't take “no” for an answer. I'll be the bigger man though, and not put the blame on Athena. Annie Bonkers career is most likely over, and I take full responsibility. I'm sorry.

*The crowd boos the news, while Rat smiles*

Rat: But hey, it's not all bad! Tonight's main event will see Baby Luke Barnson and Chet Citrus team up against Jet Black and HAW World Champion, Bigg Pimpin Alex! Baby Luke and Chet were a bit mad a few weeks bad with the officiating, so let's allow them some revenge! And finally-

*Rat was cut off by Ruslan Panov's music and the crowds eruption of cheers. Panov made his way out to the ring and grabbed a microphone*

Ruslan: Rat...I want Calhoun. I want the HAW National Championship. And I want that match, tonight.

*The crowd cheered, but Rat shook his head no*

Rat: Nope. Head backstage and get ready, because you have a match, but it's not against James Calhoun. It's against Tarik! But don't start getting angry and making threats. A win tonight will go a long way in seeing who becomes the number one contender, if you catch my drift. *Panov nods, and exits*

Rat: Well that catches everything up, let's get on with the show!

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

*Backstage, Bigg Pimpin' Alex was with Jessie Parran and Jet Black, all sitting down in the locker room*

Jet Black: Alex.... tonight, we team again.

Alex: Hah, that we do! And we made quite a team last time!

Jet Black: Do you know how that makes me feel? I picked up the victory for our team...yet you're the one who became HAW World Champion...

Alex: You should look at that as an honor, Jet! You paved the way for a great championship reign to take place! You'll go down in history for that! Shouldn't he be proud, Jessie?

Jessie: He certainly should be.

Jet Black: I'm not proud. I regret picking up that victory! I've done nothing but lose since! And everyone talks about how Baby Luke should be the number one contender, but it should be me! IT SHOULD BE ME! ME! I SHOULD DESTROY YOU TONIGHT! AGHHHH!

Alex: I'm not having any of that! No temper tantrums, we have a match to focus on! So I'll make you a deal. You forget all about this talk of being number one contender and backstabbing me and instead focus on being a cohesive unit....and in return, you can go out with Jessie after the show and maybe she'll introduce you to some of our....friends.

*Jessie Parran walked over to Jet Black and sat on his lap*

Jessie: It will be a lot funner than worrying about a match.

*Jet Black remained silent*

Alex: That's what I thought. I'll see you out there, partner.
