The HAW Theme as Edward Findleton welcomes the crowd to the show.
Edward Findleton: Welcome to HAW! We’re in Tucson, Arizona, and what a shot! We’ve got a main event of Glenny Pax vs Rat, we’ve got-
Edward was cut off as Douglas Brunswick’s music hit.
THE Casey Gains: We’ve got Douglas Brunswick interrupting you!
Brunswick stormed out on the stage, visibly angry, while Mayor Briggs followed behind him. With a cameraman in front of Brunswick taping his entrance, Brunswick pushed the camera out of his face, grabbed a nearby microphone and rolled into the ring.
Douglas Brunswick: Crash MuscleGate! Get out here now!
Briggs appeared to be trying to calm Brunswick down in the ring, but as Crash’s music hit and the crowd cheered, Brunswick looked more fired up. Crash walked out, with the rest of the MuscleGang behind him. As he made his way down, Crash stopped at ringside, and motioned for the MuscleGang to stay outside the ring. Brunswick looked over at Briggs, telling him to leave, as he exited the opposite side. Crash climbed into the ring and got face to face with Brunswick.
THE Casey Gains: These two might come to blows again!
Douglas Brunswick: You….screwed me out of the tag team titles!
Crash MuscleGate: I did exactly what you did to me. We have done things exactly the same. The only thing that separates our paths, is that I’ve been able to pin you 1…2…3.
Douglas Brunswick: You got lucky. You are not better than me.
Crash MuscleGate: The results say otherwise.
Douglas Brunswick: One fluke win doesn’t define a career. I have been talked up for years. I have studied wrestling my entire life. I dream about this in my sleep, I breathe it, this is my entire life! I will not let a loss to some comedy act define my entire career!
Crash MuscleGate: Then wrestle me again! Let’s have a rematch! One on one! If this is what you believe, then why aren’t you trying to prove it to yourself that you’re better, that you can beat me?!
Douglas Brunswick: I don’t need to prove anything to myself.
Crash MuscleGate: And I don’t need to hear your rationalization, because I know the truth. You’re afraid. You’re afraid of losing to me again. But I’m not afraid of you. So if you want to continue this war, and you want your career to be defined as the sore loser who could never get over the night he lost to a comedy act, then continue that and be a footnote in professional wrestling history. If that’s your choice, then for all these other people who dream about wrestling in their sleep, when they wake up, the legacy of Douglas Brunswick will fade away as quickly as the memory of a dream.
The two men stared at each other intensely, as Brunswick finally nodded.
Douglas Brunswick: You and me, Summit of Success.
Brunswick threw the microphone down and gave a slight shove to Crash as he exited the ring, heading to the back with Mayor Briggs.
Edward Findleton: And we have ourselves a rematch of last year’s title match, Douglas Brunswick vs Crash MuscleGate, round 2!
THE Casey Gains: This has been building for awhile, and I have a feeling this won’t disappoint!
Backstage, Sentinel was watching some wrestling footage on a laptop when Phoenix came up to him
Phoenix: Hey man, how’s it going?
Sentinel: Great. I heard we have a match next week against Mitchell Row and Scarred Badger. We need to be ready for that one. I’ve got a collection of their matches here, I think we should scout them out.
Phoenix: That’s a good idea…but…can you go?
Sentinel: Go? Go where?
Phoenix: Like…go in the ring. Go toe to toe. Go at the pace of a professional wrestler. Like, I appreciate everything you’ve done for me as a mentor, but you’re in your 40’s and we’ve just been losing a lot this year.
Sentinel: And you think it’s my fault?
Phoenix: I just….I just worry sometimes. I don’t want to see you get hurt.
Sentinel: You worry about yourself. You don’t need to worry about me.
Sentinel folded the laptop up and shoved it into Phoenix’s chest.
Sentinel: You watch this. You’re the one who needs to study more.
A frustrated Sentinel walked off, also leaving Phoenix disappointed at how the conversation went.
THE Casey Gains: Uh oh! Tag team trouble Edward!
Edward Findleton: You’re right Casey! These two better get on the same page if they want to defeat Row and Badger next week!
At that point, the music of The Rookie, Kyle Higgins played and he made his way down, holding the HAW National Championship.
Edward Findleton: And up next is a match NOT for the HAW National Championship, it’s The Rookie taking on El Espectro!
El Espectro made his way out next and as he entered, eyed up the title.
A hard fought match took place over 8:03, with El Espectro winning with the Inverted Stomp Facebreaker, though this happened after Pastor James had interfered and attacked Kyle Higgins.
As El Espectro celebrated, he rolled out of the ring and walked over to the time keeper’s table, grabbing the HAW National Championship. He rolled back in and held it up high in the air.
THE Casey Gains: Do any of these people realize that Pastor James is still the champion?!
Pastor James entered the ring smiling, and talked to El Espectro, gesturing to hand the title over. El Espectro shook his head no repeatedly. The smile left the face of James, who attacked El Espectro and hit him with the Cobra Clutch Slam. Pastor James was about to pick up the National Championship, when Kyle Higgins took James by surprise and delivered the Inverted Front Powerslam. The Rookie pinned James and counted to three on his own again, then took the title and left, celebrating with it.
Edward Findleton: And Kyle Higgins defends the title! Or wins it again! I’m not sure which it was!
THE Casey Gains: Pastor James is the champion! Listen, I don’t like the guy at all but can we all at least accept reality?!
Edward Findleton: No! We can’t! And now, we’re going to go backstage, er…back…out of the arena? In a desert?
The camera faded in to show the Arizona desert at night, with a car with headlights by itself. Shortly later, a second car approached. As it parked, Sydney Mason and Dalton Elkins exited, while Phueng Ahunai and Lela LaCruse left the first car, meeting between the two vehicles headlights.
Lela: Here? Of all places, here?
Dalton Elkins: Do you know who you’re dealing with?
Phueng Ahunai: Yeah, the Strange Crew.
Sydney Mason: Exactly. They’re all insane. So if you want us to continue our assistance to fend them off, you need to trust our instructions. Do you have the money?
Phueng and Lela nodded and handed a briefcase over. Dalton took the briefcase and placed it on the hood of the car, then carefully opened it and shielded his eyes, then looking relieved to find the briefcase wasn’t tampered with.
Dalton: I think we’re good on-
Dalton stopped and looked past Phueng and Lela, towards their car. Sitting in the back seat with lights on were Smiling Sally and Jessie Parran.
Phueng: What’s wrong?
Dalton: Look!
As everyone turned to the car, the backseat was dark, no one in the car.
Sydney Mason: You’re getting paranoid, man!
Lela: Uhh…..guys?
Lela was now looking at Drizzles and Hawaii, similarly lit up in the backseat of the Biofuel Engineer’s car.
Sydney Mason: What now?!
As the rest turned to look at the Biofuel car, it too was dark and empty.
Dalton Elkins: Maybe…maybe we should get going. But the deal is done. We’ll help you.
Lela: Yeah…thanks, we appreciate it.
The two teams got in their car and drove their separate ways.
Back at the show, Gregory Greystone was backstage with Club Corruption, the Night Prince and Ninja.
Gregory Greystone: Hello ladies and gentlemen! I’m here with the number one contenders for the HAW Tag Team titles, Club Corruption! How excited are you to get this shot?
Night Prince: Excited, Gregory? Excitement is not an emotion we feel. We are bound to feel nothing but boiling rage that fills our souls.
As Night Prince talked, Ninja nodded in the background silently, clapping his hands together.
Night Prince: The biggest fools ever own those titles, and we are ready to take them away by any means necessary. Our superior force, our ultimate power, will bring the HAW Tag Team Titles into our grasp! And then, the world will see us, and cower in fear, for we shall fulfill the doomsday scenario of Club Corruption taking over the world! Hahahaha!
Jack Trailor and Local Legend Danny Miller walked into the shot.
Jack Trailor: Hey.
Night Prince: What?!
Jack Trailor: Good luck. My last tag team partner, he apparently has already taken over the entire universe, so it’s pretty smart to set your goals lower to just trying to take over the world. Hope it goes well for you.
Jack and Danny walked away, leaving Night Prince and Ninja looking angry.
Night Prince: Run away! You’ll see in the end just who you dared cross!
Jack and Danny walked back into view.
Jack: Isn’t it you guys I crossed? Or did I cross someone else?
Night Prince: …….
Jack Trailor: Ok, bye.
Jack and Danny walked out of frame again.
Night Prince: We do not fear him, we do not-
Danny Miller jumped back into frame
Danny Miller: Hello Tucson! It’s great to be home! I love all of you!
Danny quickly left, as Night Prince looked even angrier.
Night Prince: My point I’m trying to make, is that when we take over-
Gregory Greystone: I’m sorry guys, we’ve gone over our allotted time slot! Back to you Edward and Casey!
Edward Findleton: Thank you Gregory! Just in time for our main event!
THE Casey Gains: Weren’t they supposed to have 30 seconds?
Glenny Pax came out first, with around 10 Visitors flanking him, while Rat came out second, accompanied by The Behemoth.
The bell rang and the match started, concluding with Glenny Pax defeating Rat in 11:47, cleanly using the Standing Tornado DDT.
As the bell rang to end, The Visitors started swarming, six attacking The Behemoth, while four others grabbed Rat’s unconscious body. Glenny and the four Visitors quickly hurried backstage carrying Rat. The Behemoth tried to give chase but was slowed down by the attacks. He eventually overcame all of them, slamming and delivering a few Powerbomb Shoulderbreakers until the bodies of the Visitors were all across the ring.
At that point, the jumbotron cut to the backstage parking lot, with the Visitors and Glenny taking Rat into a spaceship. Glenny turned to the camera.
Glenny Pax: Behemoth….say goodbye to your best friend!
The spaceship door shut, there was smoke, and the camera shook. When everything cleared, there was no sign of the spaceship.
The Behemoth looked enraged, and delivered a Powerbomb Shoulderbreaker to a Visitor that started to get up. The Behemoth rolled out of the ring, stomping one that was on the ground outside.
Edward Findleton: Well that was an unexpected surprise! We’ll have to see what happens next week when- uh oh!
The Behemoth threw a Visitor on the announcer table, causing Edward and Casey to flee. He slammed the Visitor through the table, then kept going to the unconscious bodies, delivering multiple Powerbomb Shoulderbreakers. Finally, he grabbed one by the head, then tossed him headfirst into a camera, as the feeds cut to black.
