Edward Findleton: Welcome to HAW! We just finished Shootout last week, but we're here in Louisville, Kentucky to start the path to HAW Vindication!
THE Casey Gains: A lot went down last week, but Gregory Greystone is standing by in the ring to interview the new HAW World Champion, Douglas Brunswick!
Douglas Brunswick's music hit, and he came out to some cheers from the crowd, the World Title around his waist. He entered the ring and posed on all four turnbuckles with the belt, before going over to Gregory Greystone.
Gregory: Douglas Brunswick, congratulations on your victory last week over James Calhoun. How does it feel to finally be World Champion?
Douglas Brunswick: It's an absolute honor. I know there's veterans in the business that go their whole careers without achieving a world championship. And I know I'm young, but in all honestly, I've been working towards this since I was a kid. I've got the mind of a veteran and the body of a youth, and with that combination, I plan to hold this title for a long time!
Gregory: Tonight, our main event is going to be a number one contenders match...James Calhoun's companion wrestler, The Behemoth, versus the man who many say got you that victory, Mayor Briggs. Do you have a preference on who you face?
Douglas Brunswick: Now hold on. I am thankful that Mayor Briggs took out the Behemoth. And that Dennis Thompson did his job and sent back Rat and Fun Fight Machine. But, whether it's 4 on 1 or 1 on 1, I was going to become champion. I know I can beat any wrestler out there, and that goes for tonight's match too. Whether I face The Behemoth or Mayor Briggs, I have bad news for my eventual opponent...you're losing at Vindication!
Gregory: There you have it! Give it up one more time for the new HAW World Champion, Douglas Brunsiwck!
Brunswick music played, and he posed some more with the title for the fans.
Edward Findleton: The Behemoth vs Mayor Briggs! Winner faces Douglas Brunswick!
Backstage, the MuscleGang was packing up their belongings at a table with a sign reading “Autograph Signing” above them.
Security
Guard: Ok folks it's over! MuscleGang is leaving, move out!
Crash started to grab his bags and walk away.
Lovable Liam: Crash! Where are you going?
Crash: I think...I'm just going for a walk. I'll catch up with you guys later. I'm just going to be alone.
Crash started walking through the arena, his head down, when a red, white, and blue dressed up figure approached him.
The United States: Crash MuscleGate! Good to meet you, I'm The United States.
Crash: Look, I know we have a German and Frenchman in the group, you can save your words about how they're traitors or...or whatever. I don't really care anymore.
The United States: Crash! I'm not going to insult people from other countries! That's not what being American is about. My ancestors came to the United States because this was the land of opportunity! And right now Crash, I see an opportunity in your future!
Crash: ….You do?
The United States: Yes! The opportunity...for The United States to make a name for himself in HAW! You've completely mentally quit on wrestling and are basically a shell of yourself! Can you imagine the headlines....”The United States Defeats MuscleGang Leader!” I'll be main eventing in no time!
Crash: ...Whatever man. Go bother someone else.
Crash started to walk away from The United States, head down and going at a fast pace to put some distance. Not looking where he was going, he turned the corner, and ran straight into two muscular bodies. Crash looked up and saw The Biofuel Engineers.
Sydney Mason: Watch where you're going!
Crash tried to move past them, but Dalton grabbed Crash's arm.
Dalton: Yo! Loser! Apologize for running into us, or we'll teach you a lesson.
The United States had caught up now and was behind Crash.
The United States: Yeah Crash! Don't ignore any of us! Man up!
Frederic St. Pierre: I don't think that would be wise for you guys.
The camera turned, and coming from another hallway was Frederic, Liam, and Oden. They all stood next to Crash protecting him, while the Biofuel Engineers and The United States backed up.
Sydney Mason: Maybe we'll see you in the ring one day. Then we'll teach you a lesson.
The three men walked away, as the MuscleGang stayed behind with Crash.
A video played, with a man narrating over the sound of a ticking clock, and shots of a man in a hoodie going about his work day at an office, his face either obscured with his back turned towards the camera, or a hoodie covering him.
Narrator: It's morning. I put on my tie. I go to the office. I come home, and I stay up. I don't sleep..........Ever.
The screen showed a ticking clock, then faded to black.
Edward Findleton: And we've got a good match coming up, it's a tag match, but with a twist!
THE Casey Gains: Freezerman announced that the challenger for Scarred Badger this month, is Little Man! But tonight, Scarred Badger and Little Man team up to face Glenny Pax and Jack Trailor!
Glenny Pax and Jack Trailor came out first, trying to get the crowd on their side. Little Man came out next, coming down to the ring he could be seen pointing at his opponents and trash talking them. Finally Scarred Badger came out with the HAW National Championship. As he got into the ring, Little Man tried to have a conversation with him, but Scarred Badger ignored him, went behind the ropes, and grabbed the tag string, simply waiting for the match to start. Little Man was annoyed, but squared off against Jack Trailor.
Little Man started to grapple Jack Trailor, using take downs to get the larger Trailor down to the ground. Little Man went and tagged in Scarred Badger, who started striking Jack Trailor in the back. Badger got Trailor caught up in the ropes, and then clotheslined him over the rope outside. As Trailor went over the rope, he landed outside, and twisted his ankle, grabbing it. Referee Tom Hunter went to check on him, stopping Badger from anymore attacks. Hunter called for medics, who started coming from the back. Trailor then quickly rolled into the ring and tagged in Glenny Pax, then rolled out, as medics helped him to the back. Glenny looked across the ring at Scarred Badger and Little Man, now visibly scared.
THE Casey Gains: If I were Glenny I would just take the loss right now and lay down.
Glenny reluctantly got into the ring, while Scarred Badger smiled. Scarred Badger leaned his face out, and screamed to Glenny to take a free shot. Glenny looked at the crowd for encouragement who started to cheer. Instead of punching him, Glenny grabbed his head, and delivered a facebuster to the mat! Little Man was seen pointing and laughing at Scarred Badger, while Glenny started to stomp on Badger. Badger finally grabbed Glenny's foot and tripped him up. Scarred Badger went to the corner to tag in Little Man, but Little Man jumped down from the apron, and started to walk up the ramp.
Edward Findleton: And Scarred Badger looks furious now!
Scarred Badger was screaming at Little Man, then turned towards Glenny Pax. Glenny ran to the ropes and tried for a jumping clothes line, but Scarred Badger put his foot up to hit Glenny with a Big Boot in mid air. Glenny fell to the ground unconscious, and Scarred Badger went for the cover. Tom Hunter counted to 2, but before he could get to three, Badger stood up. He walked up the ramp, then started attacking Little Man. Scarred Badger threw him back down to ringside, then bashed Little Man's head off the ring post. Badger rolled in Little Man, stood him up, and hit him with another Big Boot.
THE Casey Gains: I think Scarred Badger is making a point here tonight!
Badger took Glenny Pax's still unconscious body, then draped it over Little Man. Referee Tom Hunter got down and counted for three.
Edward Findleton: There it is! Glenny Pax gets his first career victory!
The CASEY Gains: I don't think he'll realize that for about three days, but hey, he did it, I guess.
Scarred Badger shook his head at Little Man, then grabbed his title and left, leaving both men down in the ring.
The Exotic Delights came out to a negative reaction, each holding the HAW Women's Championship. Confetti fell as they made their way down the ring, basking in the celebration of their victory, before grabbing microphones.
Lela LaCruse: Introducing your HAW Women's Champion....Phueng Ahunai!
Phueng Ahunai: AND Lela LaCruse! This is our celebration! This is to show everyone that your dreams can come true!
Lela LaCruse: Don't let people hold you back! Be your own person and forge your own path! If you work hand enough, you can have a successful celebration just like us! Consider The Exotic Delights...your role models!
At that point, Kherti Bhakta's music hit, and she came out onto the stage
Kherti: I wish I could come down there right now and take that title from you. You don't deserve it. You didn't work for it, you cheated your way to the top. I've felt nothing but guilt since last week. I let people down. Unfortunately, I am not the contender for the title this month. But you know what? I am going to be in the corner of your challenger to make sure you're never called a champion again!
With that, Jessie Parran's music hit, and the crowd cheered as she came out.
Jessie: Phueng...Lela....my message is simple. At Vindication, I'm the new HAW Women's Champion.
Jessie threw her mic down, and her and Kherti started to head towards the back.
Phueng: And there go the little cowards! Walk away! We'll be done with you in a couple weeks anyway!
Jessie and Kherti turned back to the ring. They looked at each other, nodded, and started to run down towards it. As they slid in the ring, the Exotic Delights wanted no part of the fight, and immediately jumped out, retreating up the ramp.
Edward Findleton: And the championship celebration of Phueng and Lela ended prematurely, but now we know the challenger for the Women's Championship, and it's none other than Jessie Parran!
The Musical Lifeguard Chairs came out to a roaring ovation from the crowd, holding the newly acquired tag titles up. After some air guitar celebrations, they came to the ring and took some microphones.
LaZor: Good evening Louisville!
Mr. Lifeguard: It's great to be here, and great to be your tag team champions! We've had a fun week, but it's time for business now. We have some announcements.
LaZor: First and foremost...we wanted to let everyone know that this season of HAW....will be our last as in-ring competitors. We've been in this business for years together, and we knew coming into this year, we needed to reach this goal of tag team champions...and we did it! So everything else is just icing on the cake as we kick off the Musical Lifeguard Chair Retirement Tour!
Mr. Lifeguard: But that doesn't mean we don't have goals. Our new goal, is to retire as champions and hold these for the entire season! But to do that, we need challengers...and that's why we've chosen our challengers. The first man is a long time friend, a long time ally, and a worthy opponent....Mitchell Row!
Mitchell Row came out smiling. He got to the ring and shook the hands of LaZor and Lifeguard, and they gave him a microphone.
Mitchell Row: LaZor and Lifeguard proposed this man to team with me...at first, I wasn't so sure. But you know what? He deserves this opportunity, and I agreed. He's been here since season 1 of HAW. You might know him as Brat, How-Aw-Yee, Miss Lifeguard, The Termite, Rainbow Blackness, Nylon Pancake-Ov and of course....Rich Old Moe. But tonight, I introduce him simply as....Mimic!
Mimic came out, not dressed as any particular wrestler, but just wearing regular tights.
Edward Findleton: Wait! What?! I could have sworn that was just a disguised Rat back then! They're different people?!
THE Casey Gains: Oh shut up Edward!
Mimic entered the ring and was seen thanking everyone in the ring and shaking hands.
Mimic: You know, this is probably the first time many people have heard me speak. I want to thank everyone here for this opportunity. It really means a lot. I know I don't have the best track record, but I just want the Musical Lifeguard Chairs to know that I'm going to do whatever it takes to be a champion! It doesn't matter when, it doesn't matter where, it doesn't-
Mimic was cut off, as Viking's music hit. Coming onto top of the ramp were Viking and The Iconoclast.
Edward Findleton: I don't know what these two monsters are doing here, but if they've teamed up, this tag division better watch out!
Viking: Deserve? Opportunity? What are all of you talking about? None of you deserve anything! The only thing you deserve is to be kicked to the curb for making a joke of a championship title!
The Iconoclast: If anyone deserves an opportunity, it's us. My pal Viking has never had a fair shake here in HAW. And for myself, I come out for my debut where I'm overpowering the man in that ring, Mitchell Row, and then I get tossed to the side after a double DQ. My debut was an afterthought! Well you know what? You're not going to forget us.
Viking: If you want that opportunity, then put it on the line. Next week, Mitchell Row and Mimic vs Viking and The Iconoclast, winner gets the title shot!
Mitchell Row and Mimic looked at each other, and nodded.
Mimic: Hey losers......you've got yourself a match!
Viking and The Iconoclast laughed, confident in their ability to win as their music played.
Edward Findleton: The stakes are going to be high next week with that tag match! I can't wait to see how that plays out!
Mayor Brigg's music hit, and he came to the ring, taking his time and looking all around the arena, seemingly studying the environment.
Edward Findleton: It's main event time! Mayor Briggs vs The Behemoth, winner gets Douglas Brunswick at Vindication!
A huge explosion rocked the arena, and out came The Behemoth with his fellow Men of Power stablemates, Calhoun, Rat, and Fun Fight Machine. The three were patting Behemoth on the back, encouraging him. Behemoth got to the ring and went right up next to Mayor Briggs, towering over him. Referee Tom Hunter pushed both men back to their corners, then rang the bell.
Briggs tried to use his agility around the ring, trying to get behind Behemoth and give him some low shots to the legs. Behemoth grabbed Briggs on one of his attacks, and shoved him to the ground. Briggs look frustrated, so he stood up, and ran towards Behemoth with a jumping clothesline. It barely knocked Behemoth back, and he grabbed Briggs then threw him shoulder first into the ring post.
THE Casey Gains: Behemoth looks like he's toying with the rookie right now!
Briggs tried to roll out of the ring, but Rat and Fun Fight Machine surrounded him. Referee Tom Hunter yelled for them to move, but they just put their hands up, remaining in place. Briggs recovered, then rolled back into the ring. Mayor Briggs began to run the ring ropes again for another attack, but Calhoun tripped him up. Briggs yelled to the referee, but Tom Hunter simply gave Calhoun a warning.
Briggs changed up his approach, and tried to grapple with Behemoth.
THE Casey Gains: He's getting desperate, because no way will he out power this man!
Behemoth grabbed Briggs, then started to lift him up for a scoop slam. Briggs wriggled out of his grasp to go behind Behemoth, and put him in a sleeper hold! The Behemoth started to fall to his knees, losing power.
Edward
Findleton: This could be a huge upset! Mayor Briggs is sending The
Behemoth to dreamland!
Rat jumped up on the apron, and seeing this, Tom Hunter went over to talk to him. Fun Fight Machine then rolled into the ring, looking ready to hit Mayor Briggs. Briggs saw the coming attack, and let go of the sleeper hold, and rushed to the referee pointing at Fun Fight Machine. Tom Hunter was heard giving Fun Fight Machine another warning. Briggs looked visibly frustrated, and started to argue with the ref.
Edward Findleton: I think Mayor Briggs is arguing that these guys should be thrown out of here!
THE Casey Gains: If he wants a title shot, he should be attacking the Behemoth with his hands, not attacking the ref with his mouth!
Tom Hunter seemed to give a final decision that no one was being thrown out, and Briggs was very displeased. Behemoth was now up to his feet, staring down at Mayor Briggs. Briggs looked around to the audience, then smiled and shrugged. Mayor Briggs walked right up to The Behemoth, and kicked him straight into the groin, receiving an immediate disqualification!
Edward Findleton: And The Behemoth is down! But...not in a legal manner!
Calhoun, Fight Machine, and Rat all ran into the ring, as Mayor Briggs jumped out the opposite side and up towards the ramp to escape them. Mayor Briggs was smiling, seemingly pleased with his actions, as the non injured members of the Men of Power were yelling at him from the ring.
Edward Findleton: So it looks like The Behemoth will be facing Douglas Brunswick at Vindication! But tonight, even though he didn't come out on top, I think Mayor Briggs may have succeeded in his own mind! The Men of Power are left upset, and he's happier than ever! We'll have to see if this works out for him! So long everybody from Louisville, and we'll see you next week in Columbus for more HAW!
