HAW kicked off another show, this time in France.
Edward Findleton: Welcome everyone to Paris, France! We've got a heck of a show tonight!
THE Casey Gains: This crowd is ready to go, and I think our first match is starting now!
New music played, and out came Asher Sutton.
Edward Findleton: Another young gun, what's the scouting report on Asher Sutton?
THE Casey
Gains: I did my research Edward, this kid has....a pretty bad
win-loss ratio. But the word around the various locker rooms is he's
got a good head on his shoulders. So there you have it folks, HAW is
now a charity.
Little Man came out next, and as he made his way to the ring, he extended his hand for a shake with Asher Sutton. Sutton reached in, but Little Man pulled his hand away and laughed. Referee Dennis Thompson separated the competitors, then started the match.
Little Man had an early advantage, but Asher started to make a comeback. However, a well placed eye gouge quickly stopped Asher's momentum. Little Man was able to regain control, then hit a Fall Away Slam on Asher Sutton. Little Man stood up and put a foot on Sutton's chest, and picked up the victory.
Edward Findleton: Little Man picks up a victory tonight, and Asher Sutton's win-loss ratio starts off terrible in HAW! We are now going to go backstage to meet up with HAW's European Tour host, Crash MuscleGate!
Backstage, Crash was with Frederic St. Pierre.
Crash: Paris.....It's Frederic St. Pierre!
The crowd's cheer could be heard backstage.
Frederic St. Pierre: Merci, merci! Je suis enfin rentré à la maison et c'est un honneur de jouer devant les meilleurs fans du monde!
Crash: I couldn't have said it better myself! You WILL beat Phoenix, just like you said, I guarantee it!
At that point, Phoenix walked up to them, with Sentinel behind him.
Phoenix: You guarantee it Crash? Look, I respect you guys but I know your game....running around, interference, games. That's why I've got my back up....Sentinel.
Frederic St. Pierre: You can have your back up. I will not need mine. I will pin you, I will win. BUT.........I look forward to seeing your best attempt. Try to come up with a plan to defeat me. I will see you later.
St. Pierre and Crash walked away, leaving Phoenix and Sentinel to talk strategy.
Edward Findleton: That will be our main event later on this evening! For now, we're going to a women's match!
The debuting Penny“The Hammer” Downs came out first, with Phueng Ahunai coming out second with Lela Lacruse. Penny started the match off with a fast offensive flurry, looking enraged and angry.
THE Casey Downs: Penny always felt she didn't get a fair shake in the indies and was looked down upon unfairly...it looks like she's harnessed that anger into her matches!
Phueng knew she needed to change things up, so grabbed Penny's hair in desperation and slammed her down to the mat, then stood on her hair, refusing to let her stand up until referee Brenda Moses forced her off. Phueng started to take control, until Penny's anger seemed to flair up again and she started pounding on Phueng. Phueng retreated from the ring over to the announce area, and started mocking Penny.
Phueng: Hey Penny! Go back to your backyard wrestling promotion! You don't belong here, you'll never be good enough!
Penny rolled out of the ring, and the two started to play cat and mouse around the announcers.
Edward
Findleton: This is too much, I'm getting out of here!
Edward and Casey both got up and moved, with Penny behind the desk and Phueng in front. Penny then eyed the empty chair Edward was on and smiled. She picked it up, jumped up on the desk, and used the chair as a battering ram, leaping onto Phueng Ahunai. Brenda Moses immediately called for the bell, and Penny “The Hammer” Downs brought a final chairshot down onto the ribs of Phueng. Lela tried to stop her but Penny scared her off with the chair. Penny retreated up the ramp and finally tossed the chair to the side as she went to the back.
THE Casey Gains: It uhh..seems Edward's headset isn't working so I'll relay the message I'm getting, Phueng Ahunai is your victor via DQ! Let's send it to the back again while we try to fix this!
Crash was walking backstage, talking on his phone.
Crash: So they're switching my documentary footage to a live shot to kill time? I'm on TV right now? What am I supposed to do?!
Crash looked over at the camera, then forced a smile.
Crash: Hello France! Allow me to uhh...show you the lovely arena we are currently in. Come with me as I show you this uhhh....water fountain! Yes! Remember to stay hydrated kids! And uhh....Oh! Around this corner over here is the parking lot! Let's go!
Crash started to turn a corner, but as he walked, bumped into Douglas Brunswick. The two men stopped and stared at each other.
Crash: ….Douglas.
Douglas: Crash.
Crash: ...How is life...treating you?
Douglas: Very well. You?
Crash: Great. Life has been very great....since I defeated you for the HAW Championship.
Douglas: …...That was a fluke. That will never happen again. I know I can't have a rematch, but my goal is to make sure you lose that title as quickly as possible.
Crash: We'll see. Good luck against this new guy tonight. Hope you can turn your career around.
Crash started to walk away, and the camera went back to ringside.
Edward Findleton: I'm back! I mean, we're back! We just saw Douglas Brunswick, he's about to face...Niko Green!
A few moments later, Niko Green's music played. As he walked out, a pre-recorded promo came over the TV Screen.
Niko Green: Why am I here? Why are any of us here? This planet is hopeless. We ignore the destruction we cause it every day. It would be nice if I can inspire someone to want to do something about our problem. I know it won't matter though, just more destruction. So why not cause some destruction in the ring tonight? It's all for nothing anyway.
THE Casey Gains: Truly inspiring words, Edward.
Douglas Brunswick came out next, and looked ready for business. Referee Tom Hunter rang the bell and the match was underway.
Solid wrestling was displayed by both competitors, but none the less Douglas seemed off his game and doubting his abilities, allowing Niko Green many chances to capitalize. Brunswick got desperate and went to the top rope for a flying dropkick, but Niko moved and Brunswick hit the ground. Green waited for Brunswick to get up, grabbed him, and hit him with a Side Death Valley Driver. Nike Green went for the cover and was about to get the three count, but Brunswick put a foot on the rope at the last moment.
Edward Findleton: We almost had a huge upset right there!
A frustrated Niko Green started arguing with Tom Hunter, allowing Brunswick some time to recover. With Niko still distracted, Douglas quickly rolled him up, and Niko was too surprised to be in a good position to kick out, as Tom Hunter counted to three.
Edward Findleton: And Brunswick picks up the win!
THE Casey Gains: A surprising match, and I never thought I'd say this. Brunswick wins, but Niko Green looked like he could have defeated the former champion with some more ring awareness!
Edward Findleton: A close encounter tonight for sure! But guess what? It's everybody's favorite segment coming up...Sightseeing with Glenny and Jack!
The camera faded into to the hotel room, once again just Glenny Pax sitting on the bed alone.
Glenny: Welcome again to Sightseeing with Glenny and Jack.
Jack Trailor Off Camera: Aghhhhhhh...
Glenny: Today, we visited some of the finest dining experiences Paris has to offer, and as we can see, Jack may have overdid it just a tad on the wine!
Jack Trailor: I'm going to puke!
Glenny turned to his right and looked, as the sounds of Jack's footsteps rushing to the bathroom, then slamming the door shut and vomiting were heard.
Glenny: Terrific....well, Jack and I saw many other things, including some famous historical sites! We went-
Glenny was cut off as there was a knocking on the door, this time the hotel room main door as Glenny looked right.
Glenny: I'm not expecting any visitors! I'm filming a show!
The knocking stopped, and the door handle started to shake.
Glenny: I said...no visitors! No visitors!
The shaking stopped, and there was silence.
Glenny: Thank you. Anyway, Jack and I-
An extraordinarily bright light filled the room, Glenny barely visible.
Glenny: No! No! No visitors!
The light continued getting brighter, until the whole screen was white. The camera eventually faded back to ringside with Edward and Casey.
Edward Findleton: …....Well I'm sure everything is just fine there! Speaking of absolutely nothing being wrong, how about next show's card, Casey?
THE Casey Gains: HAW heads east to Berlin, Germany! A new team, Summer Fun, consisting of Daisy Fields and Maple Blossom, will take on Crystal Cyclone and Hannah Rivers! Then Sentinel will face the debuting Peter “Carnage” Horn! And the main event is an HAW rematch! That's right, a match that originally took place April 20th, 2012, and two men who have a long history together...Lovable Liam will battle Oden Schreiner!
Edward Findleton: What a main event for next week! But before we get to Muscle Gang's and Sentinels next week, we've got Muscle Gangs, Sentinels, and Phoenix's now!
Phoenix came out first, Sentinel accompanying him and coaching him on his way down. As Phoenix made his way to the ring and looked at the entrance, Frederic St. Pierre's music hit, receiving a standing ovation from his hometown crowd.
Edward
Findleton: And here he is, Frederic St. Pierre!
St. Pierre came out with Crash, giving a polite bow to the crowd, and went to the ring. Crash and Sentinel got in their corners, and referee Dennis Thompson started the match.
St. Pierre tried to slow the match down at the start, using submissions and holds to keep Phoenix off his game. St. Pierre focused on Phoenix's arms, applying arm locks and striking the arms after breaking up the holds. Phoenix started to get desperate, trying more risky maneuvers to break free of St. Pierre's submissions, but Frederic's veteran technical expertise kept him in place.
Edward Findleton: And St. Pierre is not letting Phoenix get free and is just slowly wearing him down, like a lion and a gazelle!
THE Casey Gains: And unfortunately for Phoenix, the lion usually comes out on top.
After another submission, Phoenix eventually made it to the rope, and Dennis Thompson broke the hold up. Phoenix retreated outside the ring and sat down. St. Pierre went out to follow him, but Sentinel stepped in front of him, arms crossed. St. Pierre put his hands up indicating he wouldn't attack him, and rolled back to the ring. Phoenix took the most of the break, and Sentinel coached him and offered advice. Phoenix got in the ring at the 9 count, and as St. Pierre went for another submission, Phoenix reversed.
The opening was what Phoenix needed, as he started to up the tempo, using mostly kicks, stomps, and jumps. With St. Pierre finally knocked down, Phoenix wants to capitalize on his momentum and looked to the top rope, trying to end the match.
Edward Findleton: Phoenix looks like he's ready to go for the Phoenix Splash!
Phoenix went to the corner, and first tried to climb the ropes using just his feet for balance, but slipped and fell. He then used his arms to help climb the ropes, but had to moved gingerly as he winced in pain. As he finally got to the top rope, St. Pierre had enough time to recover. Frederic climbed up, grabbed Phoenix, and hit him with a superplex. St. Pierre win for the cover, and got the victory over Phoenix.
Edward Findleton: And what a match! You don't see St. Pierre going high risk, but his strategy paid off!
Crash ran into the ring to celebrate with Frederic St. Pierre, while Sentinel went to check on Phoenix. Phoenix slowly got to his feet, looking angry. Phoenix started to leave the ring but Sentinel grabbed him, and was heard yelling at him.
Sentinel: You do what I told you to do!
St. Pierre and Crash had their backs turned, and Phoenix went back to the ring, slowly approaching them.
THE Casey Gains: This could get ugly...
As St. Pierre turned around, he jumped in surprise, seeing Phoenix standing next to him. Phoenix stared him down, then put his hand out...and formed it into a fist. St. Pierre looked a bit confused for a moment, before reciprocating the fist bump.. Phoenix nodded, gave him a thumbs up, and exited the ring with Sentinel.
THE Casey Gains: I was right, it did get ugly! They showed respect!
Edward Findleton: A great match between two competitors, and both men can say they're leaving with their heads held high! We're just about out of time, but thank you for joining us, and we'll see you next time in Berlin!
