Dark Matches: Niko Green defeated local talent Georgios Stanellis, Strawberry Bates Hill defeated local talent Lenin May, Kherti Bhakta defeated local talent Caroline Goodwin
Edward Findleton: Welcome to HAW for Downtown Disaster, as we’re in Oklahoma City tonight! We’ve got both sets of tag titles, as well as the World Title on the line tonight!
THE Casey Gains: There’s a lot of possibility for first time winners, and we’re starting off with the men’s tag match!
Douglas Brunswick’s music hit, and he came out with Mayor Briggs.
Edward FIndleton: The first challengers, Brunswick and Briggs…well, I don’t know if they got in through trickery or pity, but they have a great shot to capture gold tonight.
Out next came Jack Trailor and Local Legend Danny Miller.
THE Casey Gains: Want to know how Brunswick and Briggs got in? Through Trailor’s stupidity, and that’s the same reason Danny Miller is in this match! Trailer had a guaranteed title victory and- wait, is that fan over there seriously waving a “Welcome Back Home to Oklahoma Danny” sign?!
Danny Miller posed with the fan at ringside for a selfie, then joined Trailor in the ring. Finally, the Biofuel Engineers made their way out, holding the HAW Tag Team Championships.
Edward Findleton: A very formidable team in their second run with the tag titles, they have the odds against them to retain, but they might be the favorites.
THE Casey Gains: And Edward, Referee Tom Hunter is explaining the rules to the competitors now, a single pinfall wins the title, and all three teams will have a tag team member active.
The match began with Mayor Briggs, Dalton Elkins, and Jack Trailor in the ring. The three men eyed each other up, when Briggs walked over to Trailor and motioned he wanted to talk. The two huddled together, with Briggs seemingly relaying a plan. Briggs put his hand out, Trailor put his on top, counted to three, and Trailor charged Elkins while Briggs meandered over to his corner next to Brunswick.
Jack Trailor was using his size and strength to his advantage, and seemed to be in control over Dalton Elkins. Trailor whipped Elkins to the ropes and hit a powerslam, then went for a pinfall. Before Tom Hunter could could even finish counting to two, Briggs ran over and kicked Jack Trailor in the ribs. Briggs started to stomp Trailor, eventually pushing him out of the ring, then tried to cover Elkins, though he successfully kicked out.
Mayor Briggs seemed to be in complete control, isolating Dalton Elkins from Sydney Mason, and then tagged in Brunswick. Brunswick started to get some offense in when Jack Trailor made his way back in, looking angry. Douglas Brunswick smiled at Jack, and looked like he was about to try talking to him again, but instead Jack Trailor punched Brunswick in the face.
Edward Findleton: I think Trailor finally had enough of their manipulating!
Jack Trailor and Douglas Brunswick started to duke it out, allowing Elkins to start crawling to his corner. Brunswick whipped Trailor to the ropes, then ran the opposite way, and both collided in mid air with flying clotheslines. At that moment, Sydney Mason got the tag and made his way in.
Mason first started beating down on Jack Trailor, then once he saw Brunswick was making his way to Briggs, changed course. Unfortunately for Mason, he was too late, and Briggs got the tag in. Briggs cautiously walked in and put his hands up to Mason, signaling he didn't want to harm him. Briggs instead walked past him, and hit a knee drop on Jack Trailor. Briggs gave a few more knee and elbow drops, then motioned for Mason to come over and join in. Instead, Mason grabbed Mayor Briggs and delivered a swift DDT.
Sydney Mason was now on the offensive, hitting multiple slams on Mayor Briggs. Finally Mason grabbed Briggs, and hit the Knee Drop Brainbuster. Syndey Mason hooked the leg, but at the very last second, Danny Miller broke the pin up by pulling Mason's leg off of him.
Mason stood up, looking furious at Danny Miller. Miller ran back to his corner in fear, and then once safe behind the ropes, stood tall and proud, finding himself immune from the wrath of Sydney Mason. At that moment, a crawling Jack Trailor reached out and slapped Miller's side, tagging him in. Danny Miller's smile dropped, while Mason grinned. Slowly, Danny Miller made his way into the ring, but Mason wasted no time and launched an attack.
Dalton Elkins had no crawled back into the ring, and with Danny Miller out of it, the two grabbed him and hit the Double Flapjack.
THE Casey Gains: This is the match! They just need to pin and...Wait! It's the Strange Crew!
Drizzles and Hawaii started running down the ramp towards the ring, each holding super soakers, as Mason covered Miller. Tom Hunter started to count, but before he could hit the three count, Drizzles shot water into Tom Hunter's eyes, causing him to instinctively grab his eyes and stop the count.
Mason stood up and joined Elkins, who leaned over the ropes and started shouting at The Strange Crew. As the Biofuel Engineers yelled, pointing fingers at the crew, Hawaii grabbed each of their arms and pulled them over the rope to the outside. Drizzles sprayed them with more water, then started brawling on the ramp.
Briggs and Miller had crawled to their corners during the commotion and tagged in their partners. Trailor seemed out of it, and while Brunswick was a bit hurt, seemed a lot fresher than Trailor. Jack punched at Brunswick but missed, getting nothing but air. Jack punched again, but Brunswick dodged. Jack went for a third punch, losing his balance this time, allowing Brunswick to sneak behind him and hit the Lifting Reverse DDT. Brunswick started to make his way over to Tom Hunter, who was still holding his eyes.
Edward Findleton: I think we have new tag team champi-Oof!
The sounds of a headset falling off were heard, and a hoodie wearing fan jumped the barrier behind the announcer table and slid into the ring. Brunswick turned at the last second, as the fan jumped and hit a Dropkick to Brunswick's face.
The hoodie came down, revealing Crash MuscleGate. He grabbed Jack Trailor and pulled him on top of Douglas Brunswick, then slid out of the ring.
THE Casey Gains: No!
Tom Hunter finally regained his eyesight, got in position, and completed the three count.
Edward Findleton: They did it! Trailor and Miller win! The guaranteed victory came true!
Jack Trailor and Danny Miller slowly regained their senses and celebrated in the ring, while the other teams were left arguing with Tom Hunter.
THE Casey Gains: What an absolute joke.
Edward Findleton: Congratulations once again to Trailor and Miller! As they’re getting out of the ring, we do have a few announcements!
THE Casey Gains: That’s right, our next big event next month will be Summit of Success in Salt Lake City, where hopefully we see these two lose the titles.
Edward Findleton: And also, we have a bonus match, right now! It should be a good fight, it’s El Spectro vs The Behemoth!
El Espectro’s music hit and made his entrance, and shortly after, the pyro of The Behemoth rocked the arena, as he came down with Rat by his side.
Referee Dennis Thompson rang the bell, and the match was under way. El Espectro tried to use some of his familiar power moves, but realizing the size of the Behemoth, switched things up with a more fast paced, striking offense. El Espectro’s strength and speed started to get the best of The Behemoth, but The Behemoth blocked a punch, then delivered a strong clothesline.
The Behemoth now began to toss El Espectro around, using his size and gravity to help do all the damage to El Espectro. With El Espectro weak, the Behemoth got him in position for the Powerbomb Shoulderbreaker, but El Espectro reversed it into a backbody drop.
Edward Findleton: El Espectro is showing some life!
Realizing how close the end of the match was, El Espectro started to get desperate, locking in holds and not letting go until there was a risk of disqualification. The Behemoth started to wear down and as Espectro had him in a choke hold, he used his feet on the ropes to give some more leverage. Rat saw this and got up on the apron to tell Dennis Thompson, but Thompson instead started to instruct Rat to get away from the ring. With the distraction, El Espectro let go of the hold, then delivered a cheap elbow shot to The Behemoth’s groin.
THE Casey Gains: And a dirty move by El Espectro! I like it!
El Espectro continued to attack the fallen Behemoth, then went for the pin, but Behemoth kicked out. El Espectro then tried to lift The Behemoth up, but the dead weight proved too much, so El Espectro began to pace around the ring, awaiting The Behemoth to recover.
Edward Findleton: He looks to be sizing the Behemoth up!
As The Behemoth finally stood up, El Espectro grabbed him and attempted to get in position for the Inverted Stomp Facebreaker. As El Spectro grabbed The Behemoth’s arm, the Behemoth instead charged forward, and crushed El Espectro into the ring post. With Espectro dazed, The Behemoth grabbed him, and quickly hit the Powerbomb Shoulderbreaker. The Behemoth covered him, and picked up the victory.
Edward Findleton: A great statement win by The Behemoth!
As The Behemoth got to his feet, Rat came in and celebrated. Rat gave The Behemoth a big hug, and the two made their way back.
Edward Findleton: Well what a match that was, but we have another title match…and it’s another tag match! That’s right, The Strange Crew challenges The Solo Girls for the HAW Women’s Titles!
The Strange Crew came out first, as Jessie Parran and Smiling Sally made their way down.
THE Casey Gains: No sign of Drizzles and Hawaii, Edward. But I wouldn’t be surprised to see them after getting involved in the previous tag match!
The Solo Girls, Crystal Cyclone and Rachel, made their way down next.
Brenda Moses called for the bell, and the match began with Rachel and Jessie Parran. Jessie and Rachel started a few locks up that both would mutually break up, as they tested the waters. Finally, Rachel hit a snapmare to stun Jessie, and made a quick tag to Crystal Cyclone.
Crystal rushed in and jumped on top of Jessie, driving her face into the mat. Crystal hit a quick standing moonsault for a pinfall attempt but Jessie kicked out. Crystal then picked Jessie up and whipped her into the turnbuckle of the Solo Girl’s corner, then delivered shoulder thrust to Jessie’s midsection.
Crystal made another tag, and Rachel didn’t give Jessie a second to recover before giving her a shot to the jaw. The clear strategy of isolating Jessie continued, as Crystal and Rachel started to make frequent tags nearly every 30 seconds, constantly beating down Jessie and keeping her in that far corner.
With Rachel now the legal wrestler, Rachel delivered an elbow to Crystal’s face, causing Crystal to fall and Rachel going for the pin. Jessie reached out with her leg and got it on the rope, causing Brenda Moses to stop the pin count. Rachel made another quick tag to Crystal, who picked Jessie up and delivered a scoop slam. Crystal then grabbed Jessie’s legs and started to go around in a giant swing. After a few rotations, Crystal started to get dizzy and let go of Jessie, who’s released momentum caused her to roll into the corner next to Smiling Sally.
Rachel started to yell to Crystal, who was holding her head trying to recalibrate her balance. As Crystal finally regained her senses, she saw Jessie tag in Smiling Sally. A look of horror dawned on Crystal’s face, as Sally slowly stepped into the ring and stared down Crystal.
Crystal took a deep breath and approached Smiling Sally, delivering a left and right punch combo to her head. Sally slightly flinched, before glaring in Crystal’s direction. Crystal tried to run, but Sally grabbed her arm hard, then whipped her into the nearby turnbuckle. Sally kept her grip on Crystal’s arm not letting her go, and whipped Crystal’s body again into the turnbuckle, never breaking the connection. Sally continued these whips, flinging Crystal around by her arm.
Edward Findleton: She’s going to pull her arm with all of this!
Rachel saw too much and ran into the ring and kicked Sally’s back, causing her to finally drop Crystal, but now turning towards Rachel. Smiling Sally grabbed Rachel, and immediately hit a Tornado Bomb, seemingly knocking Rachel out. Sally looked back at Crystal, who was holding her shoulder and in a lot of distress. Sally picked her up, and hit a Tornado Bomb on Crystal. Sally covered Crystal Cyclone, and Brenda Moses counted to three.
Bradley Wallace: The winners of this match and NEW HAW Women’s Tag Team Champions, The Strange Crew, Jessie Parran and Smiling Sally!
THE Casey Gains: Well, if I was Jessie, I may have used the strategy of having Sally start in the ring and do this from the start, but it worked out! They’re the new champions!
Edward Findleton: And an absolutely ruthless and terrifying performance from Smiling Sally. I’m not sure if anyone can defeat her!
THE Casey Gains: It’s definitely going to be a difficult challenge to overcome.
Edward Findleton: With the Strange Crew heading back to celebrate, lets get to our next match!
Fun Fight Machine came out first, followed shortly by Mitchell Row, who was accompanied by Kitty Kayleen and Mitchell Row.
THE Casey Gains: And finally, the audience will get to see Fun Fight Machine get his comeuppance for interfering in the family life of Mitchell Row, Kitty Kayleen, and their butler!
Brenda Moses called for the bell, and the match was on. As the match began, Mitchell Row went on the offensive, and looked to be keeping Fun Fight Machine’s aerial attacks grounded. Row eventually tried to suplex Fun, but Fun Fight Machine reversed, landing on his feet. Fun ran to the ropes to gain some speed, but as Row turned around, he jumped and Speared Fun Fight Machine.
Edward Findleton: It’s over already! Mitchell Row with the Spear!
Mitchell Row smiled and laughed, then rolled out of the ring. He motioned for Scarred Badger and Kitty Kayleen to come over. Scarred Badger took a water bottle and squirted some water in Row’s mouth, who then gave a quick kiss to Kitty. Row rolled back into the ring and went for the pin, but Fun Fight Machine kicked out on two.
THE Casey Gains: He uhh…he wants to inflict more damage on this homewrecker! Mitchell Row is making a statement!
Edward Findleton: To me, it looks like Mitchell Row is surprised Fun Fight Machine kicked out after having half a minute to recover!
Row locked in a chinlock, but as the fans started to clap and rally behind Fun, he started to get to his feet. A couple of elbows to Row’s midsection, and Fun Fight Machine was free to deliver a quick jawbreaker.
Momentum was now on Fun’s side, and he began to implement his face paced aerial moveset. Fun hit a bicycle kick on Mitchell Row knocking him down, then started to head over to the ropes, looking ready to go up top. At that point, Kitty Kayleen jumped up on the ring apron, holding a microphone. Brenda Moses tried to get her to leave, but Kitty stayed up.
Kitty: Fun! Fun Fight Machine! I love you!
Fun Fight Machine stopped midstride and looked at Kitty Kayleen with a surprised face look. He pointed to himself and mouthed “Me?”
Kitty: Yes! You! You’re so handsome! And the way you jump around the ring makes me want to jump into your arms! I need to kiss you!
Fun Fight Machine motioned to Brenda Moses that she can let her in. Fun slowly approached Kitty, and held her hand to bring the microphone to his mouth.
Fun Fight Machine: I will kiss you. Close your eyes, I want it to be a special moment in front of these fans.
Kitty: Of course my love!
Kitty peaked over Fun’s shoulder, and Scarred Badger slid into the ring, holding what looked like a bunch of quarters in a sock. Fun Fight Machine closed his eyes, and Kitty closed hers too and leaned in for the kiss. At the last moment, Fun Fight Machine pulled away, turned around and grabbed Scarred Badger’s head and pushed him towards Kitty, causing the two to kiss. Badger tried to pull away, but Kitty held his head, seemingly waiting for Badger to hit Fun. She finally opened her eyes, which went wide. Kitty started to gag and rolled out of the ring.
Mitchell Row was now back on his feet, and Badger, free of Kitty, turned towards Fun Fight Machine. Badger locked up with Fun Fight Machine and tried to Irish Whip him towards Mitchell Row, but Fun reversed the whip. Row had already ran forward, and delivered a Spear to Scarred Badger. Fun Fight Machine quickly hit a bulldog on Mitchell Row, then climbed to the top rope and delivered the 450 Splash. Fun covered Row, and Brenda Moses counted to three.
Bradley Wallace: The winner of this match, Fun Fight Machine!
Edward Findleton: And the plans of Mitchell, Kitty, and Badger fail! Fun Fight Machine comes out on top.
THE Casey Gains: I guess the lesson to learn in all of this is sometimes the good guys don’t win.
Edward Findleton: Or sometimes, cheaters lose!
THE Casey Gains: I’m sticking to what I said!
Edward Findleton: Well I know you and I can debate all night, but one thing we can agree is that last month, Pastor James went through a hellacious match with Jet Black. And right now, we’ve got a video update from the HAW National Champion himself!
The screen faded to Pastor James, sitting at home, but wearing a plastic angel halo attached to his head.
Pastor James: Good evening. Now I know what you’re thinking…Pastor James, is that a halo? Did you die? Haha! Ahh, it’s too funny and I bet I had you fooled, but the truth is, I like to have fun. I think our good Lord for allowing me to spend more time on this earth, to heal up for a return to HAW next week, and to offer my house…to trick or treaters for Halloween! Carmella, is the candy ready?
Carmella the maid nodded and handed a candy bowl to James, who stood up and began walking to the door.
Pastor James: What a great holiday this is for the children. They can see adults like me looking just so silly with this little halo, and we can brighten their night up! But there’s more to the holiday this year. Last night, I prayed to the man upstairs to give me a sign. A sign to see who I will defend my HAW National Championship against. And I think he might show that sign to me tonight.
A door bell rang and James adjusted his halo.
Pastor James: Trick or treaters! Let’s see who’s here.
Pastor James opened the door, and a young child was wearing a devil costume.
Devil Child: Trick or Treat!
Pastor James: Begone heathen! You deserve to burn in eternal damnation for your worship of false idols! Leave this sacred place!
James slammed the door shut in the child’s face. A few seconds later, the doorbell rang again, and James opened the door. This time, a young child dressed in ring gear of “The Rookie” Kyle Higgins was standing there.
Rookie Child: Trick or Treat!
Pastor James: Oh! What a scary costume! Who are you, a homeless person?
Rookie Child: I’m dressed up as “The Rookie” Kyle Higgins, my favorite wrestler. He inspires me because he’s shown me I can waste all of my prime adulthood until I’m fat and ugly, and then get hired by a company as a promotional stunt!
Pastor James: Well good for you young man. Here’s two peanut butter cups to help you get reach your obesity goal sooner! Say….this might be God’s sign to me. Folks, I’m ready to return to HAW. And as the Lord works in mysterious ways, I’m ready to defend my National Championship against Kyle Higgins. I’ll see you all next week, good night, and don’t be too afraid this Halloween, as He is always beside you.
The scene faded out and then back to the announcers table.
THE Casey Gains: Oh wow. Can you ever believe that? What on earth are the odds. A child dressed as Kyle Higgins. I believe everything we just watched.
Edward Findleton: Regardless of Pastor James’ honesty, this will be a big opportunity for The Rookie!
THE Casey Gains: You are right on that. The National Championship can lead to a World Championship shot, as we’re seeing in our next match!
The challenger Kenneth Cobb came out first, holding the 2x4 he had last week.
Edward Findleton: And I need to be honest, a hardcore match seems like it favors The Insomniac!
THE Casey Gains: I agree Edward. You might say Glenny has the power of the Visitors being able to interfere, but Cobb himself is aware of this. There’s no element of surprise and he’s ready.
Glenny Pax’s music hit next, and he came out alone, save for the HAW World Championship over his shoulder.
Tom Hunter called for the bell to begin, and the match began. Glenny was unarmed, and Cobb looked at his 2x4. The Insomniac threw the 2x4 down, and Pax and Cobb locked up. Cobb quickly overpowered Glenny, and delivered a few arm drags and hip tosses to ground Glenny. Glenny rolled out of the ring to recover, but Cobb followed him. Coming from behind, Cobb grabbed Pax and threw him into the barricade.
Edward Findleton: Kenneth Cobb is the aggressor at the start!
The Insomniac started to pick Glenny up near the announce table.
THE Casey Gains: Watch out!
Cobb lifted Glenyn up as Edward and Casey moved out of the way, but Glenny Pax wriggled out of Cobb’s grip landing behind him, and delivering a quick low blow. Cobb fell to the ground in pain, allowing Glenny to climb up on the announcer table. He jumped, delivering a splash to The Insomniac on the ground.
Pax was starting to gain control, helping Cobb up and pushing him into the ring. Pax grabbed Kenneth’s arm, then flung it into the steel ring post. Pax then started to push the arm against the post, bending it far in a way the arm wasn’t supposed to go. The Insomniac grabbed his arm in pain, and Pax went into the ring. He propped Cobb up in the corner and climbed the ropes, and attempted to deliver the Standing Tornado DDT. Cobb managed to overpower Glenny, resulting in them both landing on their feet on the mat. Pax ran at Cobb who clotheslined Glenny with his good arm. Pax stood up dazed, and Cobb locked in the Sleeper Hold.
Edward Findleton: We might have a new HAW World Champion!
Pax started to fade, looking weaker as Tom Hunter checked on Glenny. In a desperation attempt, Glenny punched Cobb’s injured arm, slightly loosening the hold. Glenny punched the injured arm again, and again, and again, forcing Cobb to let go. Glenny collapsed to his hands and knees, right near the 2x4. As The Insomniac tried to approach Glenny again, Glenny grabbed the 2x4, turned around, and swung it up at Cobb, hitting him in the torso and cracking the 2x4 in half. Cobb fell to the ground, and Glenny quickly went for a cover. Referee Tom Hunter got down and counted 1, 2, 3.
Edward Findleton: And Glenny retains!
THE Casey Gains: A not so hardcore match until the very end, when Glenny needed it!
Glenny held the championship up high, still weak from the Sleeper Hold, to a round of boo’s from the audience. Suddenly, a loud explosion rocked the arena, and the music of The Behemoth hit. The crowd cheered as he walked on stage, flanked by Rat.
Edward Findleton: The Behemoth is back for more!
THE Casey Gains: He might be here for that title!
The Behemoth made his way into the ring, as Glenny looked intimidated at the size mismatch. Behemoth moved his fist back ready to strike, when the lights in the arena went off, save for a spotlight on Glenny. The spotlight stayed there for a second, then went dark. After a few more moments, the lights came on, with Glenny Pax no where to be found.
Edward Findleton: Well it looks like Glenny might have a found yet another enemy! We’re out of time tonight, but we’ll see you next week to see how this unfolds! Good night!
