Dark Matches: The Samurai’s of Power (Sensei Onaga, Ozzie Reagan, and Trickshot) defeated local talents Chandler Rich, Mason Lawrence, and Harvey Allison. Local Legend Danny Miller defeated local non-legend Terrell Brock.
The HAW Theme played as the show opened up.
Edward Findleton: Welcome to HAW! Tonight we’re in Raleigh, North Carolina!
THE Casey Gains: Our main event will be Athena taking on Maple Blossom, but we’ve also got Fun Fight Machine going against The Iconoclast! But first, we’re beginning our show with the fallout from last weeks HAW National Championship match!
Jet Black’s music played, as he came out looking upset.
Jet Black: James, I told you. I told you I can take your pain. You didn’t believe me. Maybe have faith…in me? Yes…yes….I will show just how weak willed you are, pastor. I get a rematch with you, and-
Jet Black was cut off as Pastor James’ music played, and he made his way to the ramp.
Pastor James: My dear friend, Mr. Black. I want to first apologize for using a chair to attack you. It was not right, and I hope you can find it in your heart to forgive me of that sin. I want you to know one thing, I am truly sorry. HAW rules state that rematches for titles don’t happen…but when I went backstage after our match, I begged for you to get that rematch. I said to Freezerman “Please sir, he deserves a fair shot. Let’s have one more round.”
Jet Black: I’m ready right now, pastor.
The crowd cheered in anticipation as Jet Black motioned for James to come to the ring.
Pastor James: I apologize friend, but allow me to finish my story! I said…”Let’s have one more round….at Vindication”
The crowd booed, but Jet Black just smiled.
Jet Black: We can have it at Vindication. Sure. But when you had your make believe conversation, did he tell you the stipulation to the match? Because he told me.
Pastor James suddenly looked concerned.
Pastor James: I think a simple, normal one on one-
Jet Black: An I Quit match! And pastor…I will make sure everyone knows that your make believe conversations with all the higher powers are exposed. Next week you won’t be a champion, you’ll be a liar.
Pastor James just nodded, not too happy and went to the back as Jet Black’s music played.
Edward Findleton: And James won’t be able to get intentionally disqualified now, a very violent match will be taking place next week!
THE Casey Gains: This match is right up Jet Black’s alley, Pastor James will have his hands full!
The screen went static again, before fading back to Crash MuscleGate, sitting in a futuristic prison cell. Empty cans of soda, pizza boxes, and burger wraps were all around him. A robotic voice came over an intercom.
Voice: Feeding of test subject to begin.
At that, Crash stood up next to the side of the cell doors. As they slid open, a Visitor walked into the cell holding a cake. Crash snuck up behind the Visitor, then shoved the Visitor’s face into the cake and made a break for it.
An alarm sounded, and Crash started running through this spaceship, as Glenny Pax and the Visitors gave chase. Crash suddenly stopped, seeing a door labeled “Escape Pod.” Crash opened the door and called out to Glenny, panting and out of breath.
Crash: Hey…hey….*gasp* Glenny! I’ll….I’ll see you in a week at…*gasp* Vindication!
Crash ran into the escape pod and shut the door, as the ship started to rumble. Glenny Pax smiled.
Glenny Pax: I’ll be ready Crash….I’ll be ready. The question after all this food…..will you? Bwahahahaha!
The screen went static again before joining back up to HAW.
Ring Announcer Bradley Wallace: Making his way to the ring, The Iconoclast!
Edward Findleton: Folks, we’ve got good news! Gregory Greystone is ok after his attack from The Iconoclast last week!
THE Casey Gains: And I’m also getting breaking news, apparently Crash MuscleGate has been seen back on Earth, safe as well!
Edward Findleton: Thank goodness for that!
Fun Fight Machine came out next, and the match started.
In a 6:57 match, Fun Fight Machine pinned The Iconoclast a second time after a 450 splash.
Edward Findleton: And Fun Fight Machine comes up with another win!
THE Casey Gains: Edward, we’ve seen him wrestle a lot over the years, but these past two matches I’ve never seen Fun Fight Machine more focused. This guy is a real threat to HAW!
Edward Findleton: One thing I know is Gregory Greystone is probably happy with this result! So let’s send it back to Gregory!
Backstage, Gregory was standing with Liam, Frederic, and Oden on one side, and Dalton Elkins and Sydney Mason on his other. Gregory’s glasses appeared to be held together by tape.
Gregory: Hello ladies and gentlemen! I’m joined by the competitors in next week’s tag team championship match, the MuscleGang and the Biofuel Engineers! Sydney, Dalton, you’re former champions, how are you getting prepared for this match?
Sydney forcefully grabbed the microphone, causing Gregory to wince in pain.
Sydney Mason: Same way we always do. We look at the challenge in front of us, we come up with a plan, and we execute.
Dalton Elkins: We’ve dealt with a lot of weird people in HAW…these guys…just more of the same, nothing new.
Oden grabbed the mic and pulled it towards him.
Gregory: Ow! Please…
Oden Schreiner: You will not beat them! They are more talented than you!
Sydney Mason: Hey big guy, why not leave it between us? Apparently your other boy has been found, maybe you protect him from the aliens and leave the adults to fight it out.
Frederic St. Pierre: We are happy Crash is safe. And Oden will do what he wants. But Liam and I? We will not underestimate you. We know this is not an easy match, that you are both tough competitors. We will study your tape. We will train for your moves. Practice counter upon counter, and we will be prepared. Is that right Liam?
Liam: You guys suck! And as we say in French, you’re the Biofuel Losers!
Frederic St. Pierre: ….Merci Liam. Let us go and prepare.
Gregory Greystone: What a tag match that will be! You can see it all next week at Vindication!
Edward Findleton: Thank you for that Gregory! It’s time for our main event!
Athena came out first, while Maple Blossom came out second, accompanied by Daisy Fields.
Athena picked up the pinfall but did so in 7:27, nearly a minute longer than Sekino. As Athena celebrated, Sekino came out on the stage.
Sekino the Stunt Pilot: 58 seconds. Too slow. I will show the world what a true champion is. Goodbye, Athena!
Edward Findleton: She may not have beat Sekino’s time, but it is a different competitor she faced this week, and a win is a win!
THE Casey Gains: Both women will be looking to use their perspectives as a means of positive momentum. We’ll have to see who harnesses that momentum better.
Edward Findleton: That’s all for this week, we will see you in one more week for HAW Vindication. Good night everybody!
