*HAW came on the air. Freezer Man was in the ring with a serious look on his face. On one side of him was Bigg Pimpin' Alex, on the other side, Jessie Parran and Mitchell Row. Freezer Man held up his mic*
Freezer Man: I want to begin by apologizing. On so many levels, I am sorry. I am sorry to you the fans that I have to come out here tonight, and take time away from your wrestling show to set things straight. I'm sorry to the wrestlers and crew of HAW, who do their best to give this company a good name. And most importantly, I am sorry to the Lexington Stallions baseball organization. HAW caused a great deal of commotion, pain, and distress at your stadium last week, and I can't express the regret I feel.
Edward Findleton: For those keeping track, this is the second terrible thing HAW has done to the sport of baseball this season.
Freezer Man: At this time, I would like all the wrestlers involved to apologize. Alex, please begin.
Alex: Hey...Lexington....from the bottom of my heart, I am sorry. I am sorry that I wasn't able to put your hardworking doctors to use, and have these two end up in the hospital!
Freezer Man: Alex! This is your final warning!
Alex: What are you going to do Freezer Man? Fire me? I ain't even on the card for the rest of the season! I don't need you, I don't need this company, or Lexington, or any of the stupid fans here tonight! The only thing I really care about, is her! *Alex pointed to Jessie* I care about setting an example. I care about making sure she never gets the women's championship again! And I can do that outside of this company! So fire me, Freezer Man! Because it doesn't matter! At the end of the day, everyone will know you don't screw over Bigg Pimpin' Alex!
Freezer Man: Alex, you leave me no choice. We are heading backstage right now.
Mitchell Row: Hold up! Alex, before you go, I want you to know this. You can try all you want, but Jessie is never going to be held down by you. She's going to soar higher than ever.
Alex: She couldn't even take on two of my weakest women last week! I can find stronger women. I WILL find stronger women. And I'll get them signed here, and I'll ruin her career!
Mitchell Row: Just leave her alone!
Alex: You make me! Prove it! You and me in a match! And if you win, I'm gone for good! I win, you leave the company!
Freezer Man: That's not happening. Mitchell is scheduled to compete in one match next week, and there's no room tonight for that to happen.
Alex: So drop out of the other match! Do it for her! Career vs Career match!
*Mitchell Row looked at Jessie Parran. She shook her head no, and could be heard telling him to go for the title. Row looked back over to Freezer Man*
Mitchell Row: If I drop out of the World Title Match, can I do this match?
Freezer Man: I can allow it. It will have to be a career vs career match. Someone has to take the blame for this and no longer be associated with HAW.
Mitchell Row: ....Then Alex....I accept! *Alex burst out laughing*
Alex: You really are dumb. Or blind. I don't know which. But either way, I love it! You just ruined your entire life! *Alex left the ring, smiling*
Freezer Man: Mitchell, I do have to say...we had a scheduled match tonight for you. But with you not being involved in the five man match, I'm changing things up. You will be facing Dalton Elkins. So get ready for that. And for the main event, I'm just removing Viking from guest referee, and he will team with Oden Schreiner! So wrestlers, get ready for some new action tonight!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
*The MuscleGang was backstage, seemingly discussing the the recent development when Viking showed up*
Viking: Oden.
Oden: Viking!
Viking: I am your partner tonight. I want to win tonight. I want momentum heading into next week. And I still want that title.
Oden: Not "that" title, MY title! You can have your win tonight, I promise you that! But not this! I beat you once, I can beat you again! I can beat all those men!
Viking: My desire to win has never been stronger. But you four apparently don't care about my speeches about desire, as I saw last week.
Crash: Oh we were totally paying attention Viking! You talked about your wife, how much you love, how she filed a missing persons report on you...something along those lines, right?
Viking: See Oden? This is why you won't win. You hang around with...jokers. You will see tonight in the ring, I never joke. *Viking walked away*
Lovable Liam: ..........We should invite him into the gang! He has good muscles!
Crash: Are you serious Liam? Have you SEEN his meal plan? Absolutely terrible, he would never cut it here. Now come on, we need to prep the big man for a match!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Edward Findleton: Folks, what we are about to show you is footage courtesy of Five Star Industries. This was shot yesterday by a documentary crew in what was described as "A Day in the Life of a BioFuel Engineer." Enjoy!
*The camera faded in, showing formally dressed Dalton Elkins and Sydney Mason in a conference room with other employees*
Sydney: ...As you can see, if we expedite the process, the product still remains the same, perhaps even better. There is no loss of quality.
*There was a knock on the door, and a small, nervous man opened it up and stuck his head in*
Man: Umm...Mr. Mason, Mr. Elkins.
Sydney: Clark, we told you, don't interrupt this meeting.
Clark: But...but...
Sydney: Just go.
Clark: Please...you need to come with me. It's about the trucks. *Sydney sighed and buried his head in his hands*
Dalton: Clark, that's not our department. We don't care about shipping. We are engineers. We went to school, we got degrees. We aren't minimum wage peasants who deal with manual labor.
Clark: Please guys! It's an emergency!
Sydney: Ok! I'm sorry everyone. We will be back in five minutes. Coffee is down the hall. *Sydney and Dalton followed Clark, who was leading them out to the parking lot*
Sydney: So what is it about the trucks?
Clark: I....I...I don't know.
Sydney: You don't know?
Clark: I mean, I know! I just...I can't tell you guys!
Dalton: Spit it out geek! You're bringing us out here!
Clark: I have to show you or else...or else something bad will happen! There! Up ahead! *Clark pointed to a delivery truck, finger pointing nervously*
Dalton: Ok...So?!
Clark: You have to look in the cargo.
Sydney: Please tell me it's not something dumb like a rat. *Sydney and Dalton stood at the back of the truck, then looked over at Clark, who was standing back, and now holding a remote control*
Dalton: Clark, what are you doing?
Clark: I'm sorry. I really am. I was forced to. *Clark pushed a button, and the back of the truck opened. Tons of corn came flowing out, burying the BioFuel Engineers up to their chins*.
Sydney: What the hell Clark?! Get us out of here!
*The truck driver's door opened up, and out came Hawaii.*
Hawaii: Good work Clark! You did a good job! Your completely illegal secret is now safe with us! You can run along now! *Hawaii approached the BioFuel Engineers, studying them as he walked around them*
Dalton: Hawaii! You're going to pay for this! Next week, you're dead! Do you hear me?! Dead!
Hawaii: Perhaps. Atleast I'll be alive next week, unlike you two.
Sydney: What do you mean? *Hawaii whistled, and a fuel tanker truck driven by Drizzles drove over to the buried engineers. Hawaii went over to the tank, climbed up, and opened the fuel latch so that fuel started pouring out onto the ground*
Hawaii: We're going to blow you up! At your own BioFuel Engineer job! Isn't that going to be fun?! Hahaha!
Dalton: Hawaii! Stop! Stop! We're sorry, ok? Just...just stop this!
Hawaii: Your begging really intrigues me. But if I'm going to watch a show, I need popcorn. And to get that...I need more heat! *Hawaii lit a match*
Sydney: No! Don't do it! We'll give you anything! Just don't kill us!
Hawaii: That just wouldn't be fun. *Hawaii threw the match down, and the BioFuel Engineers both screamed. The match landed in the liquid, and immediately extinguished* And unfortunately, we can't have fun just yet. But we DID pay Jack Trailor to get us a water truck and get it painted like a fuel truck! I think it was worth the money just to hear you two scream!
Dalton: You idiots! How do you two even exist?! You just violated so many safety protocols!
*Hawaii and Drizzles jumped down from the truck*
Sydney: Just wait until next week. Just wait. You don't make us look like fools. You two are the only ones who can look like that!
Hawaii: Stop taunting us! Really! We aren't actually going to murder you, true. But you two are still trapped, so you should realize, we're going to beat the hell out of you. *Hawaii climbed onto the mountain of corn and started punching Sydney in the head. The camera man then got shoved away. Drizzles smiled into the camera, then turned it towards Dalton Elkins. Fear was in Dalton's eyes, as the camera was sent flying towards his face, then cutting to black*
Edward Findleton: Thanks once again to Five Star Industries for that footage! Dalton Elkins takes on Mitchell Row next!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The previous day's attacks must have taken its toll on Dalton Elkins, as Mitchell Row defeated Dalton.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
*The Trans-Atlantic Family was backstage meeting with the Men of Power*
James Calhoun: Franco Mancini! O'Toole Brothers! I'm so glad you agreed to talk to us before the match tonight.
Franco: I'm kinda surprised you wanted to talk after what we did to you last week.
James Calhoun: Well I am willing to let bygones be bygones! We've each done some attacks in our time, we're similar men! Tonight, we need to be on the same page if we want to win-
Franco: Calhoun, shut your mouth. You know this and I know this...it doesn't matter if we win tonight. What matters is damage. Not getting injured. Hurting the other guys. That's all that matters tonight. Tonight, I play it safe, and I ain't pushing my body to its limit. That's going to happen next week in the cell match. So if you came here to give me a little rah-rah speech you can save your breath. I'm not injuring myself for your gain.
James Calhoun: Franco...allow me to be honest. I really like you a lot. Your mind is great, and it's just a shame we're always on the opposite sides of spectrum.
Franco: I think the only reason you say that is because you know...I'm better than you. And if I was your little lackey, you'd have more titles. More money. More power. But I'm the one thing that stands in your way. And believe me, I will always stand in your way.
James Calhoun: One day, you will realize that's a mistake. Because anyone who stands in my way, falls.
Franco: I'd like to see you try. Good luck tonight, "partner." *With that, The Trans-Atlantic Family walked off*
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
*Gregory Greystone was in the ring*
Gregory: Hello Ladies and Gentlemen! Our main event is coming up, but first, give a warm welcome to Kherti Bhakta!
*Kherti Bhakta's music played, and the crowd cheered as she came out, her face and body language neutral*
Gregory: Kherti, next week you have a chance to make history and become HAW Women's Champion! But facing a tough challenger like Athena, how do you think you'll fair?
Kherti: ..........
Gregory: Uhh...Kherti? How do you think you'll fair? Do you think you will do well?
Kherti: ...I just need to say it. I.....Last week, Athena and I won our match. And I was so happy, my father got to witness it live. I went backstage and he kissed me, congratulated me...and we hugged goodbye, saying we'd see each other next the day of my title match. And...as I walked backstage and packed my bags, people either avoided me or...stared at me. it was odd. So I got in my car and drove to the next town. It was all normal, I sang songs, stopped at a small place for food. Then got to my hotel, and I finally checked my phone. Online, people asking me if I'm ok, others tweeting video of the episode to me. And I saw it.
*Kherti took a deep breath and tried to compose herself*
Kherti: I thought I had made my family proud. I thought...even if I hadn't yet, if I win next week, they could be proud of me. They could see I made something of myself. But I don't think I can ever achieve that goal, of being someone. Atleast to them. So now I got into this one on one match against Athena, but it feels like a handicap match. I am alone. I have no one behind me.
*Slowly a "Kherti Bhakta clap clap clapclapclap" chant started to break out*
Gregory: It looks like the fans are behind you!
Kherti: And I appreciate that! Thank you. And I don't want to play it off like it doesn't matter, because it fills me with joy to hear that chant. But it's just not the same. Because I want my family's support so bad. So often times, right before a big match, one wrestler says to another wrestler how she's going to beat the daylights out that wrestler next week. But this time, my message is to my father...to my mother, to everyone. It doesn't matter if I win or lose next week...because while I want your support...I NEED this business. I need wrestling! I need to forge my own path, to be my own person, and to succeed! And I'm not going to quit until I can sit down, look back at my work, and be proud of myself! Thank you, and I will see everyone next week!
Gregory: Kherti Bhakta, everyone!
*The crowd cheered, and Kherti Bhakta walked to the back, fired up but emotional*
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In the main event, the larger team of Viking and Oden Schreiner defeated the unwilling partners of Franco and James Calhoun when Viking pinned Franco.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After the match, Rat, Behemoth, and Fun Fight Machine came down to the ring. Viking and Oden celebrated outside the ring, but inside, the Calhoun and the Men of Power stood over a fallen Franco Mancini. The four then started stomping on Mancini. The O'Toole Brothers then came running down for the save, but the four on two odds quickly laid them out.
With the Trans-Atlantic Family out, the Men of Power turned towards Oden and Viking, who were outside the ring watching it unfold. The Men of Power split up, with Fun Fight Machine and Rat throwing Viking into the steps, while The Behemoth and Calhoun went after Oden. They clubbed Oden down, then Calhoun laid out the HAW World Championship on the ground. The Behemoth grabbed Oden, then proceeded to give multiple powerbombs onto the title.
The MuscleGang had seen enough and ran out. Crash and Lovable Liam ran outside the ring towards Rat and Fun Fight Machine. Crash jumped onto the steps and gave a flying clothesline to Rat, but Liam ran right into a dropkick from Fun Fight Machine. With Crash getting up from his clothesline, Fun Fight Machine ran over to Crash and gave him a bulldog onto the ground.
Meanwhile, St. Pierre slid into the ring holding his National Championship. Using it as a weapon, he blasted The Behemoth in the head with it. Calhoun grabbed St. Pierre from behind, causing him to drop the title, and attempted to irish whip St. Pierre into the ropes, but St. Pierre held onto his arm, and whipped Calhoun right over the top rope. Frederic St. Pierre looked down outside the ring, yelling and taunting at Calhoun. Behind him, Fun Fight Machine slid into the ring, then picked up the HAW National Championship. He waited, lined up St. Pierre, and when St. Pierre turned around, hit him in the face with his own championship.
Fun Fight Machine held the National Championship in one hand. He looked down at the ground and also saw the World Championship. Fun Fight Machine picked up both, looking back and forth. Calhoun rolled back into the ring, and motioned for Fun Fight Machine to give him the World Championship. Slowly, Fun Fight Machine held out the world title, and Calhoun quickly snatched it.
Calhoun and Fun Fight Machine held up both titles in the air.
Edward Findleton: And look at that! While not official, the Men of Power hold up both titles! Will this be how the season ends? We're going to find out next week!
