Dark Matches: Hannah Rivers defeated local talent Natasha York, and Travis Samuels defeated local talent Vinay Khan
HAW Kicked off with the music of Peter “Carnage” Horn.
Edward Findleton: Welcome to HAW! We are in Boston tonight, and it looks like we’re wasting no time getting the show started with our first match!
Horn came out with Alfred Karneus, who had a microphone ready:
Alfred Karneus: Peter…Carnage…Horn. Do you remember the name now? I gave you all a pass for forgetting about him during the tour. But after what you saw last week, you can’t forget his name. This man is a machine, destined to pulverize the entire HAW roster. Chapter three in the Book of Carnage will be written tonight. Remember it. Remember his name, remember this night, and remember-
Alfred Karneus was cut off as the Samurais of Power’s music played. Trickshot and Sensei Onaga ran out on the stage, then stood on both sides of the entrance and clapped their hands as Ozzie Reagan came sprinting down to the ring.
THE Casey Gains: Edward, I’m not so sure angering Alfred Karneus or Peter Horn is a good idea…but it looks like the Samurais of Power did just that by cutting off the promo.
Peter “Carnage” Horn came out of the gate fast, defeating Ozzie Reagan with a Side Sitout Powerslam in 1:45
Edward Findleton: Another dominant performance by Horn!
THE Casey Gains: Edward, I know so far he’s just gone against two rookies, but we’re forgetting he’s a rookie himself. Very impressive performance from Horn!
Edward Findleton: Indeed it is! But folks, I’m getting word that we’re going to an interview backstage with Gregory Greystone! Gregory?
Backstage, Gregory Greystone was with Pastor James Calhoun and Kenneth Cobb.
Gregory Greystone: Hello ladies and gentlemen! I’m here with the two competitors for the HAW National Championship, but on a more fun note, two unlikely tag team partners tonight! Pastor James, how do you feel about teaming up with The Insomniac tonight?
Pastor James: Gregory, there’s only one way to answer that question…and it’s an honor. It’s an honor to be teaming with a champion. It’s an honor to help him, inside and outside of the ring. Mr. Cobb, if there’s anything you need, I will pray for you. I will ask the Lord to ease your suffering! I will-
Kenneth Cobb: Calhoun, I don’t need your prayers…or your help. I don’t need you at all, and if I were to answer Gregory’s question, I’d have to say that I’m ashamed to be your partner tonight. I generally don’t team up with con artist…but if that’s what I’m forced to do tonight, that’s what I’ll do.
Pastor James: Mr. Cobb, I won’t lie. Those words hurt me. They sting my very soul. But I know the pain I’m feeling, is nothing compared to the pain our savior went through the day he went up on that cross.
Kenneth Cobb: I hope when we finally face each other, I make you feel more pain than Jesus did.
Pastor James: Please listen! Can’t you see I’m trying to improve your life? Just..open it…let the lord in!
Kenneth Cobb: Your reputation is set in stone Calhoun. No one in this company trusts you.
Pastor James: You can deny me three times….but rest assured, I will be your savior tonight.
Pastor James walked away, and Cobb shook his head in anger.
Gregory Greystone: We have tag team action next! Stick around!
Gospel music played in the arena, and Pastor James made his way down to the ring:
Edward Findleton: Casey, how do you think this will go with Pastor and The Insomniac as partners?
THE Casey Gains: From the looks of it, Pastor James has wrestling entrance music and promo entrance music. Cobb is probably right now to trust him.
The Insomniac came out next, eyeing James the whole time. Eventually their opponents came out, Rough Hog Reid Harrison and Local Legend Danny Miller.
The match had shaky teamwork from James and Cobb, but it paid off. As Danny Miller distracted the ref, Reid Harrison grabbed the National Championship, and was about to blast Cobb in the head with it. Pastor James pushed Cobb out of the way, getting hit instead. Rough Hog was surprised, allowing Cobb to capitalize with a Sleeper Hold, and pick up the victory in 6:17.
Edward Findleton: And a heroic sacrifice by Pastor James gets his team the victory!
James slowly got to his knees, and Cobb gave a large sigh, before extending his hand to help Pastor James up. James finally got on his feet, then raised Cobb’s hand in the air.
Edward Findleton: Is Cobb warming up to Pastor James?
THE Casey Gains: Kenneth Cobb can thank James for that victory…but I highly doubt he’s forgotten that they’ll be facing each other in two weeks at One Way Trip!
Edward Findleton: And speaking of One Way Trip, we’ll be hearing from the World Champion in just a moment!
The MuscleGang’s music played, and out came Crash, Frederic, Liam and Oden.
Crash: Last week, we had my championship…celebration…first promo but not really a first promo…thing. Event.
Lovable Liam: Extravaganza!
Crash: Yes! Extravaganza! But this week, we are going to have the PRE….tag team championship celebration extravaganza! Because you’re looking at the next tag team champions, Lovable Liam and Frederic St. Pierre!
St. Pierre waited for the crowd’s cheers to die down, then spoke up.
Frederic: It is no guarantee, mon ami. Franco Mancini…one of the best ever. The O’Tooles? Tag team masters. We will give it our all.
Crash: And win and become the next tag team champions! Then the MuscleGang will have the World Title! The Tag Titles! Oden can win the national title! And then we can probably just offer invitations to whoever holds the women’s titles, and we’ll have them all!
Franco: Not happening Crash.
Franco Mancini and The O’Toole Brothers walked out on stage and made their way down to the ring.
Franco: Listen, listen. It’s cute. Fun little fantasy you got. A group holding all the titles, that’s cool. A lot of people dream about that….but no chance. You really think you can beat us? Crash, I was THIS CLOSE to being the HAW World Champion the last time we met. I could beat you Crash. I could beat Liam. I can beat St. Pierre. So can Fergus, so can Sean. Honestly, if this company was fair, the three of us would be holding all the titles.
Oden Schreiner: You will hold no titles! You will lose the tag team championship! Then, you will lose the NRWL TItle to The Bean!
The crowd erupted in cheers and Franco looked furious as “Bean” chants started
Franco: Don’t even start big guy. Because I’m not afraid of you….and I sure as hell ain’t afraid of a Bean!
Mayor Briggs music hit, and he started to make his way out with Douglas Brunswick.
Mayor Briggs: Whoa, whoa….Franco Mancini! Lookin’ a little tense there, eh? Come on mate, just accept the fact you’re….being phased out.
Franco: What?!
Mayor Briggs: Hey, don’t take offense, not trying to start anything. My beef is with Crash, not you. But….you’re kinda takin’ my spotlight, ok? This is World Champion time, this is a young man’s game. I’m sorry that you’re losing a year to squander around the tag division, but can you just leave and let the focus be on me for a bit?
Franco: Who do you think you’re talking to right now? There’s no one better than me in the world. It’s a fact.
Mayor: No, no! I get it! You were relevant like…what, 20,25 years ago? I’m not saying you can’t have your last run!
Franco Mancini: You god damn freak, I’m in my prime! I just turned 34!
Mayor: Ew….you’re in your 30’s…Douglas, this ring is like a nursing home.
Franco threw his mic down and looked like he was ready for a fight. The O’Tooles also looked over at the Muscle Gang, and the three groups started to square each other up, when suddenly Jack Trailor’s music hit.
Edward Findleton: Jack Trailor?!
All the men in the ring looked confused as Trailor made his way down to the ring. He entered, walked past all the wrestlers, and went to his corner and started to warm up. Mayor Briggs slowly approached him.
Mayor Briggs: …What are you doing?
Jack Trailor: You and I have a match tonight. I heard your music and rushed out here.
Mayor Briggs: Mate, we’re the main event! This isn’t main event time!
Jack Trailor: Oh….sorry.
Jack Trailor started to leave, but stopped and turned around.
Jack Trailor: By the way…have any of you seen my friend Glenny Pax? I haven’t been able to track him down since the tour.
All three groups looked at each other, then shook their heads no.
Jack Trailor: That’s disappointing….thank you.
Jack Trailor left the ring. Mayor Briggs shrugged, and he and Douglas exited as well. Franco and the O’Tooles gave one last look at the MuscleGang, and exited too.
Crash: ………Well with that being said, let’s give it up once again…for your future tag team champions!
Edward Findleton: High tensions all around! Jack Trailor will be facing Mayor Briggs in the main event tonight, but coming up next, Rachel vs Mary Jane Elder!
As the next match segment started, Mary Jane Elder made her way to the ring. Moments later, Rachel came out, with Crystal Cyclone in her corner.
THE Casey Gains: The Solo Girls are here, and they made some bold statements on the microphone last week, it’s time to see is Rachel can back it up in the ring!
In a match that saw Crystal assisting Rachel in every way possible, Rachel defeated Mary Jane Elder in 8:31 after a roll up and grabbing the tights.
Edward Findleton: And Rachel picks up the victory, but definitely needed to use every trick in the book to win!
Crystal Cyclone was near the announcers desk and heard that. She went over to the announcer’s desk then grabbed the headset off Edward’s head.
Crystal: Tricks? It’s called making the most of our chances. This is our livelihood Edward. We wrestle, we need to win, and we’ve got each other’s backs. So keep talking Edward, you’ll respect our style after One Way Trip.
Crystal threw the headset back at Edward.
THE Casey Gains: Geeze Edward. Show them respect, they just won a match! You’re making us look bad!
Edward: I…apologize I guess? I need to rearrange this headset, it’s all screwed up now..we’ll be back with our main event shortly!
Mayor Briggs music hit, and he came down to the ring with Douglas Brunswick. Jack Trailor came out next, and went to the corner of the ring again. To Jack’s surprise, Crash’s music played next, and he went into the corner of Jack Trailor.
The match was fairly even, but when Jack Trailor had the upper hand. Brunswick tried to interfere In response Crash attacked Douglas Brunswick. Referee Dennis Thompson separated the men, and started to lead both of them to the back. Jack looked to be in control, when suddenly the lights in the arena flickered.
Edward Findleton: Uh oh…some sort of power surge, I think?
The lights in the arena then went completely dark, and when they came back on, multiple men dressed in whitebody suits with golden boots, gloves, and masks were in the ring. The men started attacking Jack Trailor and beat him down. With Trailor unconscious, the men fled into the stands. Dennis Thompson started to make his way back to the ring, and as Briggs regained his composure, looked confused. He pinned Jack Trailor, and got the three count in 9:52.
Edward Findleton: Who were they?!
THE Casey Gains: I’m not sure…but judging by Mayor Briggs face, I don’t think he knew either.
Edward Findleton: An unusual attack but regardless…Mayor Briggs picks up the victory tonight! The question is, can he do this again against Crash? We’ll see in two weeks! So long everybody!
