After Downtown Disaster, HAW was in Detroit, Michigan with a full crowd. Douglas Brunswick's music hit, and the HAW World Champion came out with Mayor Briggs, heading to the ring and looking ready to talk.
Edward Findleton: Welcome to HAW! It looks like the World Champion is going to be speaking, but stay tuned for our main event! The Insomniac, Douglas Brunswick, has agreed to put his newly earned National Championship on the line against Viking!
THE Casey Gains: We have a lot of fallout to get through, but I'm all ears for what Brunswick and Briggs have to say!
The two men stood in the ring with microphones. As the crowd booed, Brunswick smiled and held up the title, leading to louder boo's.
Douglas Brunswick: What's wrong? You didn't get what you wanted? Did you want Phoenix to win? Did you want me and him to battle it out in a thirty minute match of the year candidate? Did you want me to do some crazy move you can make a gif out of and show on Twitter? Well I'm sorry, but all of YOU set yourselves up for those failed expectations.
Mayor Briggs: Ya see, Douglas here, he's been having the best run of his career, and if I may say so, it's a bit thanks to my help. Here, it's all about how you know. This bloke is friends with this bloke and he'll go mop the floor with ya if you cross his mate. And Douglas, he's been forced to face off against a group of four, and then last month, a tag team, and now another group of four!
Douglas Brunswick: So if you think I'm worried about entertaining the fans, think again. None of you actually care about me, and you know what? I don't care about you either! I don't care if you're bored and sleeping through my championship matches, as long as I win! Mayor Briggs and I will take on the world and overcome all the number disadvantages HAW tries to throw at us!
At that point, Oden Schreiner's music hit, and he came out to a loud ovation from the crowd, accompanied by the MuscleGang.
THE Casey Gain: Speaking of number disadvantages, I think Oden has Douglas in group strength, ring experience, and definitely height and weight!
The MuscleGang came into the ring with microphones, and Oden got right up next to Douglas.
Oden: I will beat you until you are unconscious then I'll take your title!
Briggs brought Brunswick back a few steps and stood between the two men, trying to calm them down and shield Brunswick.
Crash: Briggs, don't even get involved. See, we're The MuscleGang. We've been causing mischief and gaming the system for years. We can already plan that you'll have a plan. But you're smart, so you'll know we have a plan. But we've already planned out that you'll know we're ahead of your plan. But The MuscleGang knows that you'll be planning for that, so we developed a plan to-
Frederic: Crash...please stop. What he's trying to say is, we're ready for you.
Crash: Yeah!
Douglas: The MuscleGang....I remember watching you when I was a kid. You know what that means? You're relics. You're from a long ago era. I don't need to be an oversized freak or have some stupid gimmick. I'm simply Douglas Brunswick, the HAW World Champion, and maybe, just maybe, I can send you geezers to the retirement home. Let's go Briggs.
Douglas Brunswick's music hit, and he started to exit the ring with Mayor Briggs. They started walking up the ramp when Lovable Liam started shouting over the music.
Lovable Liam: Stop the music! Stop! Wait!
The music cut out, and Brunswick and Briggs stopped mid ramp to look back at Liam.
Liam: ….We are NOT old! ….Now play his music again.
Brunswick music started up again, and the champ and Briggs glanced at each other oddly, but continued up the ramp.
Edward Findleton: These two will meet in just a few weeks at Summit of Success! What a match that will be!
Gregory Greystone was backstage with Rat and The Behemoth.
Gregory: Hello ladies and gentlemen! I'm being joined by the two former Men of Power members...Rat and The Behemoth! Gentlemen, what exactly happened last week?
Rat: It's simple. James lost his mind. Before, he used to be calculating, he was prepared...but these past few months? Man, he's been off the deep end. It's about time all of us re-evaluated where we're at, and just go on from there.
At that point, Calhoun and Fun Fight Machine walked up the interview, Calhoun smiling.
James Calhoun: Well if it isn't my good friends, Rat and The Behemoth! Gentlemen, what a week it's been, we have a lot to catch up! Fun and I missed you guys!
Rat: We're not friends, James. It's over.
James: Oh come now! I know I designated Fun Fight Machine as my new companion wrestler, but I can give that honor back! Everyone can share it even!
Rat: Calhoun...leave now, or we'll beat you down again like last week.
Calhoun's smiling demeanor suddenly grew serious.
James Calhoun: You two are making the single biggest mistake of your lives. I am the most powerful man in this company. I run this place. I decide what happens. ME! And if you want to cross me, if you want to make me your enemy, then you are planning your own funeral!
The Behemoth grabbed Calhoun by the collar and brought him close, Calhoun suddenly looking up at The Behemoth in fear.
The Behemoth: You two....against us two.........at Summit of Success.
The Behemoth let go of Calhoun, and walked off with Rat.
Gregory Greystone: James Calhoun. Any thoughts on what just happened?
Fun Fight Machine: Not now! Let's go Mr. Calhoun.
Fun Fight Machine helped Calhoun get composed, and walked off with him.
The new music of Mitchell Row hit, and he came out accompanied by HAW Women's Champion Kitty Kayleen.
Edward Findleton: We have an interesting match up next, Mitchell Row will be taking on his long time ally, Ruslan Panov!
Ruslan Panov came out next, and as he made his way to the ring, grabbed a microphone.
Ruslan: Mitch. We've fought as partners in matches in the past. We've been friends for years. But I'm worried for you man. This isn't the Mitchell Row I know. Let's have a good fight tonight, but afterwards, can we just talk together in private?
Ruslan extended the microphone to Mitchell, but before he could grab it, Kitty snatched it away.
Kitty: One word: NO!
Kitty left the ring with the microphone, and referee Tom Hunter called for the bell. Ruslan extended his hand for a shake. Mitchell contemplated, then grasped Ruslan's hand for a shake. Without letting go, Mitchell pulled Ruslan forward, and delivered a clothesline to knock him down.
Mitchell started to use rest holds on Ruslan, keeping him grounded to the mat. Ruslan would try some strikes, but Mitchell managed to always use his strength to immediately ground Ruslan. Mitchell was dominating, but Mary Jane Elder's music played, and she made a dash to ringside straight towards Kitty.
Mary Jane Elder jumped on Kitty and started punching her, as Kitty tried to block the blows. Mitchell was leaning outside the ropes, yelling at Mary Jane to stop. With the distraction, Panov spun Row around and delivered a knee to his jaw. The action continued on in the ring while Mary Jane continued her attack outside, only stopping after delivering a Leg Drop DDT.
Inside the ring, Panov was striking Mitchell Row in the corner, but Row pushed him backwards. Row then ran towards Ruslan Panov and went for a spear, but Panov dodged it, causing Row to hit his head off the turnbuckle, and looked completely knocked out. Panov took advantage and quickly covered Mitchell Row and picked up the three count.
After the match, Mary Jane Elder approached Ruslan Panov. She extended her hand for a handshake, but Ruslan shook his head no and walked away. Mary Jane Elder looked at him, confused as he left her at ringside with the fallen foes.
The Musical Lifeguard Chairs were in a locker room backstage, each showing the other something on their phone, when Franco Mancini and Fergus O'Toole walked up to them.
LaZor: Oh, hey guys! Awesome win last week, right?
Fergus: Pretty good, except my brother got hurt.
Mr. Lifeguard: I felt so bad. How about I email all of you a list of warm up stretches? Maybe he won't pull a muscle next time!
Franco: You think you're funny with your little jokes?
Mr. Lifeguard: First aid is not a joke!
Franco: My boy last week, put his body on the line in that match. And LaZor...you stole his victory. You did nothing but tag in an injured ally and steal the spotlight!
LaZor: Whoa whoa! I wasn't trying to steal the spotlight, I wanted to defeat The Men of Power!
Fergus: You didn't even check on us after the match!
Mr. Lifeguard: Ok! Everyone, calm down. LaZor and I are truly sorry. I think this is a giant misunderstanding, and we don't want to cross you. We're defending our tag titles against The Strange Crew next week, and we're focused on that. So if you'll excuse us, we've got preparation to do, and then maybe we can catch up and rectify this.
Mr. Lifeguard and LaZor quickly left.
Franco: This ain't over. Come on.
Franco and Fergus exited in the opposite direction. The room was silent for a bit, when Drizzles the Clown tip toed into the room, and over to a locker. He opened it up, and Hawaii stepped out. The two looked around to make sure the coast was clear, then scampered off.
The MuscleGang were outside the arena, packing their bags into a car.
Crash: Ready? Oden give me the keys!
Oden reached into a pocket, but started fumbling around, before realizing he didn't have them.
Oden: Stay!
Oden started walking back to the main arena. As he entered, Douglas Brunswick and Mayor Briggs were behind a door and jumped him. The two started beating him down, quickly overpowering him. Mayor Briggs then jumped in a near by golf cart, and Brunswick grabbed Oden's arm. Brunswick held it against a wall, and Briggs accelerated. The cart crashed right into Oden's arm, as he cried out in pain.
Brunswick and Briggs then took off running, and moments later, the MuscleGang rushed in along with medical crew, checking on Oden who was writhing on the ground clutching his arm.
Edward Findleton: Well...we're going to cur away from that out of respect for Oden Schreiner but...that was quite the violent attack by Brunswick and Briggs.
THE Casey Gains: We might see a bit more of that violence in our main event.
Viking's music hit, and he came out with The Iconoclast. Moments later the new HAW National Champion came out, The Insomniac Kenneth Cobb. Viking was taunting Cobb as he made his way down to the ring, and Kenneth Cobb wasted no time, rolling into the ring and immediately started fighting Viking.
The quick attack caught Viking by surprise, and Cobb had Viking against the ropes. Kenneth Cobb was looking dominant, but when Viking was being checked on by referee Dennis Thompson, The Iconoclast climbed up on the apron and elbowed Cobb in the spine. This slowed The Insomniac down and allowed Viking to start to take over.
Viking used his power and size to slam Kenneth Cobb to the mat multiple times, then started delivering elbow drops and leg drops. With Cobb hurting, Viking cracked his knuckles and moved his fingers, sizing up Cobb.
Edward Findleton: It looks like Viking is thinking of ending this with his throat toss!
As Cobb stood up and turned around, Viking grabbed him by the throat and lifted him in the air. Cobb struggled free, and fell to the ground. Viking tried to kick The Insomniac, but Kenneth Cobb ducked and went behind Viking, before jumping on his back and locking in the Sleeper Hold.
Viking fell to his knees, and Dennis Thompson tested his arm and raised it once, but it fell. Viking then fell to the mat, and Thompson raised the arm, and it fell again. Dennis Thompson raised Viking's arm one last time, but before he could let go, The Iconoclast rolled in the ring and started attacking Kenneth Cobb.
Thompson rang the bell for a DQ, but The Iconoclast kept his attack up, beating down Kenneth Cobb. The Iconoclast moved Cobb to a corner, then hit the Cannonball Senton. The Insomniac was still conscious, but clearly in pain, as The Iconoclast helped Viking up. Viking exited the ring with The Iconoclast's help, but before the Iconoclast exited, gave one final kick to Cobb's chest, before exiting up the ramp.
Edward Findleton: Kenneth Cobb is the victor tonight and still the champion, but he took a beating!
THE Casey Gains: Cobb doesn't strike me as the type of guy who will forget about this. But at the same time, I think the Towering Blights will want revenge too.
Edward Findleton: It's all the time we have for tonight though, we'll see you next week!
