Dark Matches: Jet Black defeated Georgios Stanellis, Little Man defeated Connor Andrews
As HAW came on the air, the theme music of Mitchell Row began playing, and the audience cheers quickly turned to booing. Mitchell Row made his way out, with Kitty Kayleen holding the HAW World Championship in the air for him, and Scarred Badger by his side
Edward Findleton: Welcome to HAW! We are in New York City and back for another season where we are kicking the show off with, as much as it pains me to say it, the new HAW World Champion.
THE Casey Gains: Edward, have some respect. This man single handedly saved the entire universe from an alien and cyborg. I thanked him this afternoon when I saw him!
As Mitchell Row took a microphone in the ring, he couldn’t speak as the crowd began to boo. Finally they calmed down.
Mitchell Row: You should all be thanking me. This entire day, the only person to thank me has been Casey Gains!
THE Casey Gains: See?!
Mitchell Row: But! But! I get it. True heroes don’t need praise from the masses. They focus on what matters most, and for me, that’s the most important thing in my life.
Mitchell pointed over at Kitty Kayleen, and she smiled.
Mitchell Row: That HAW World Championship that my wife is holding! That’s right, I am just the fourth person to hold this title more than once! It is well earned, and I can’t think of a person who deserves it more than me!
Kitty and Badger clapped, while the audience disagreed.
Mitchell Row: Now here comes the unfortunate part. I’m supposed to DEFEND this title now. You would think we would make this a year long celebration tour for saving everyone’s lives, but hey, I get it. So what I want to know is, who will face me? Which unlucky guy in the back got chosen to be the sacrificial lamb? Come on out and show your face!
Row waited a bit, and the MuscleGang music hit. Crash, Frederic, Oden, and Liam all came up with Crash leading the way. He got up into the ring and stared Mitchell Row down.
Mitchell Row: Wait? You? Crash MuscleGate? ……..Bwahahaha!
Row started laughing, along with Kitty, while Badger joined in chuckling.
Mitchell Row: Hey, weren’t you the guy who LOST to Glenny Pax? So my opponent is the guy who lost to the guy I beat? Bravo HAW! You made my day with this decision!
Crash turned around and nodded. He took a few steps back, and Frederic St. Pierre stepped forward.
Frederic: Not Crash. You will be facing….moi.
Edward Findleton: St. Pierre had a really solid run last year with an impressive seven victories!
Mitchell Row: Oh! My apologies! Don’t worry St. Pierre, you’re just as funny a choice as Crash! Because when I think of you, I think of the number….two.
Frederic: You may underestimate me if you wish, you may think I’m second best, you-
Mitchell Row: No! That wasn’t why I said two! Because of…February Two. Second. Groundhogs day! Because speaking of shadows, you’re finally stepping out of Crash’s shadow!
All other wrestlers in the ring stared at Row a bit confused.
Mitchell Row: It was an insult joke! Laugh at it!
Badger began to chuckle a bit, and Lovable Liam joined in as well.
Mitchell: Not you!
Liam stopped, looking dejected.
Frederic: Monsieur Row, here is your first and only warning. Do not insult my friends.
Mitchell Row: I’m the World Champion! I can do whatever I want! Oden’s weirdly tall, Liam’s hair is ugly, Crash is an-
St. Pierre quickly grabbed Mitchell Row’s head and hit the Butterfly DDT. The rest of the MuscleGang stood by St. Pierre, and Badger decided against an attack, as he and Kitty tended to Row.
Frederic: You WILL feel that again…at Downtown Disaster!
With that, the MuscleGang went to the back, as Mitchell Row recovered in the ring.
Backstage, Penny “The Hammer” Downs was walking and texting, when she ran into a person, contents from a bag spilling out onto the ground.
Penny: I’m so sorry! Let me help you!
Penny bent down and started picking up clothing items and handing it to the person, when she suddenly stopped. Penny slowly picked up the HAW Women’s Championship and looked up to see Sekino the Stunt Pilot. Penny handed the title over to her.
Penny: I’m really sorry. I should have been paying more attention.
Sekino grinned and looked down at the clothes and title in her hands. She threw the clothes on the ground.
Sekino: Pick them up for me.
Penny nodded and got to the floor again. Sekino then slowly put the bottom of her boot up to the side of Penny’s head, but then took it away, not inflicting any pain. Penny handed the clothes to Sekino, who threw the title down.
Sekino: Again.
Penny nodded and went back to the ground. Suddenly, Sekino kicked Penny right in the jaw, knocking her out. Sekino picked the title up on her own.
Sekino: This is my warning to you. Watch your step.
Sekino then stepped over Penny and walked away.
Edward Findleton: Folks I’m sure Penny will be just fine!
THE Casey Gains: She just got knocked unconscious, how can you say that? That’s legitimately the worst thing that can happen to a professional wrestler!
The music of Pastor James played, and he began to make his way out.
THE Casey Gains: Actually, if she’s out of it for all of this Pastor James segment then I’m envious of her, best thing that can happen to a wrestler!
As Pastor James got to the ring, he grabbed a mic and then held up the National Championship, the crowd booing him.
Pastor James: Brothers and sisters…I hear you! I feel just as you do! A burning anger deep in my soul. I know that to have this wrath coursing through my veins is something the good lord isn’t proud of. But I am just a man of flesh and blood, I am not perfect, yet I will not stand for the injustice that is happening in HAW!
Edward Findleton: What is he talking about?
Pastor James: I come out here the HAW National Champion, proudly representing this country and of course, our savior. Yet I was told who I will be defending my title against, and I will not have it! It impedes on my rights, my freedom of religion, and is just downright sinful! Ladies and Gentlemen, brothers and sisters, we all know that there is only one King, and that’s Christ the King!
At that point, a murmur in the crowd started which slowly built into a cheer.
Pastor James: Thank you! We strive to reach the Kingdom of God! And we will fight back against the heathen rule of HAW! Join in with me! No False Kings! No False Kings!
James held the microphone up, but the crowd started to chant “DON-O-VAN”
Pastor James: I get it! It’s tough for everyone to get on the same page, let me lead it. No False Kings! No False Kings! No False Kings!
Theme Music:Ladies and Gentlemen! Your attention please! Make way, make way for the new kings!
Stepping onto the stage to a loud cheer was King Donovan. He was accompanied by Bigg Pimpin’ Alex, who had a polo and slacks on. As Donovan made his way down towards the ring, Pastor James smiled, and began to clap along to the music. Donovan motioned for Alex to stay outside the ring. As King Donovan entered between the ropes, Pastor James opened his arms up for a big hug. Donovan ducked under the arms of James, and immediately hit him with the Full Nelson Slam, the audience erupting. King Donovan didn’t even acknowledge James, and left the ring to head back up the ramp, Alex behind him.
Edward Findleton: King Donovan is in HAW! And it looks like he’s challenging Pastor James for the HAW National Championship!
THE Casey Gains: The landscape of this company has just changed again! Pastor James may have met his biggest challenge yet!
Backstage, one of the doors to the outside of the arena was pushed open. A brown haired woman in green and brown wrestling attire peaked into the arena, then turned back to the outside.
Woman: Zoey! Jenna! Come on!
A woman with an athletic muscular build walked in first.
Woman: Hurry up Zoey!
Zoey from outside: Hold on Hazel!
After a few moments, Zoey, with blue hair and pigtails, joined Jenna and Hazel the door girl.
Zoey: I needed to make sure we weren’t being followed!
Hazel: …Why would people follow us? Wait, were there people actually following us?
Jenna: No one is following us, both of you shut up, we got in unnoticed.
Producer: Oh, there you girls are!
A backstage producer walked up to three women.
Producer: You’re the jobbers for tonight, right? I’m sorry, I’m sorry. Enhancement talent. My apologies.
Hazel: Uhh…well..umm..
Zoey: Yes! We are! We are indeed the enhancement talent!
Producer: Excellent! Your names?
Zoey: I’m Zoey Chambers! And this is Hazel Glover and Jenna Ingram.
Hazel: …Hi?
Producer: Perfect, perfect, let me finish writing that down here…ok, and your group name?
The three women looked at each other, unsure.
Producer: You know, like…a tag team name…a stable name.
Hazel: The Stable!
Producer: You call yourselves the Stable? O…k… No wonder you’re jobbers…And finally what music do you want?
Zoey: Generic Theme 14!
Producer: Oh that’s a fun one. Alright well it’s good you’re in your gear, you girls are next! Have fun getting destroyed!
The producer walked away, while The Stable all looked at each other.
Hazel: Oh my god, what did we just do?
Jenna: We got in, that’s what we did.
Hazel: We’re going to be late! Where’s the entrance area?!
Zoey: Follow the crowd noise, come on!
In the arena, new theme music started to play, and Hannah Rivers came out, with new women with her.
Bradley Wallace: Introducing first…Hannah Rivers, Natasha York and Isabella Dawson… Eta Nu Iota!
Edward Findleton: Well good for Hannah, it looks like she joined a sorority and made some friends!
THE Casey Gains: Is she just starting college now in her 20’s, or has she really done that badly in class?
As Hannah, Isabella, and Natasha got in the ring, Hannah took a microphone.
Hannah: Tonight is a historical match. Now only will the winning team get a shot at the Exotic Delight’s tag team titles, but more importantly, tonight is the night the Eta Nu Iota begins their run of dominance!
Hannah threw the microphone down and faced the stage.
Bradley Wallace: And their opponents…Zoey Chambers, Jenna Ingram, and Hazel Glover, The Stable!
The girls of Eta Nu Iota laughed, confident while the Stable made their way down. Hazel still seemed nervous, while Zoey happily gave fans high fives, only stopping when Jenna seemed to pull her away and focus on the upcoming match.
The triple tag match lasted for 8:21, with The Stable taking Eta Nu Iota by surprise. Jenna Ingram forced Isabella Dawson to tap out with a Lotus Lock.
Edward Findleton: And the Stable wins! Two of these three women will face The Exotic Delights for the HAW Women’s Tag Team Championships!
THE Casey Gains: Hannah Rivers and company definitely underestimated their opponents tonight!
Edward Findleton: Well folks, we need to shift gears a little. We’ve got a video package and…well, we’re just going to let you watch it.
The scene faded into Fun Fight Machine sitting in a living room.
Fun Fight Machine: Hello HAW fans. Tonight is the start of season six, and it should be a fun year. I had a great time last season, and felt I was really ready for my career to take off. However, I must break some bad news. My HAW career will be put on hold for this year. For personal reasons, I have moved back to Kyoto, Japan, and I just ask you to respect me and my family’s privacy. I promise the fans I will be back, and I want to give a special thanks to Freezerman. Not only has he been supportive, he is also letting me compete this year in Honor Pro Wrestling. I will miss touring America, and I can’t wait to be back. In the meantime, enjoy the season HAW Fans. See you soon!
Back at ringside, the camera focused on Edward and Casey.
Edward Findleton: And HAW is definitely supporting Fun Fight Machine, and hope for the best.
THE Casey Gains: Agreed. We’ll miss seeing you wrestle, but take some time and come back stronger next year!
Edward Findleton: Well said Casey. I think that-
Edward was cut off as Franco Mancini’s music began. Franco stormed out, with O’Toole Brothers behind him looking nervous at Franco’s rage. He rushed in the ring and grabbed a microphone.
Franco: Shut up! All of you shut up! I don’t want to hear it! No one dare say anything! The NRWL doesn’t even matter anyway! It’s a dead company with a meaningless title and wrestlers no one cares about!
At that point, the crowd began to chant “Bean! Bean! Bean” causing Franco to pace back and forth.
Franco: You think this is funny? Fine! Laugh it up now! Ha Ha Ha! So funny the Bean won! Maybe if these two knuckleheads behind me actually did what they were supposed to, he wouldn’t have won!
Edward Findleton: Is he admitting he needed help to win?
THE Casey Gains: Shh! He might hear you!
Franco:Now, all of you listen up. I’m going to get the last laugh. Last year, I was saddled with nothing but a stupid fantasy match. This year, I mean business! I’m going to destroy everyone who dares step in my path! This isn’t my fault. YOU all unleashed this. When you’re upset that your favorite wrestler is lying on this mat in a pool of blood, begging at my feet that the attack stops, think back to this moment, and realize that everyone in this audience is to blame!
At that point, the music of The Insomniac started, and Kenneth Cobb walked out to the top of the stage.
Franco: You’re interrupting me? You have something to say? Come down here and say it man to man!
Kenneth Cobb: …..No. I’m not dumb enough to get jumped by the three of you. Although, it seems easy to take the three of you on, based off what I’ve seen.
Franco: You’re a little coward, I get it, hiding up there.
Kenneth Cobb: If I recall, last year I helped beat the O’Tooles…then you guys hit us from behind? All because I, correctly, predicted a Bean victory? I’ll tell you what. I don’t like you guys. So I’ll wrestle all of you, each a week apart. We can cap it off with Franco Mancini vs Kenneth Cobb at One Way Trip! What do you think of that?
Franco: I like it. I like it alot. I don’t mind seeing you suffer three weeks in a row. Enjoy your funeral, we’re done here.
Franco threw his mic down and exited the ring, heading up the ramp. Cobb nodded, and exited before they could reach him.
Edward Findleton: Well we have another match at One Way Trip but we have a great main event next that was decided at last year’s End of the Trail. It’s the HAW Tag Team Championships on the line, as The Navigators take on Local Legend Danny Miller and Jack Trailor!
The Navigators, Aiden North and Pete Arrow came out first to a loud ovation!
THE Casey Gains: There were a lot of great free agents on the market this year, but Edward, I think HAW is lucky to have snagged these guys. They’re one of the top acts in wrestling!
Edward Findleton: Indeed! Former champions and a great history, I’m excited to see what they bring to the HAW Tag Division!
Danny Miller and Jack Trailor entered next, as Danny wore a shirt displaying all New York City teams in the four major sports.
THE Casey Gains: Wouldn’t a true local know that half of these teams hate the other half?
Edward Findleton: Nonsense! Miller loves all of his hometown equally!
Before the match began, the Navigators shook hands with Miller and Trailor. The match was very even, with the Navigators seemingly getting frustrated they couldn’t put away their opponents. The match took a sudden turn when Aiden North went for a flying clothesline on Trailor but missed, and instead hit referee Dennis Thompson.
Edward Findleton: Thompson looks out of it!
Trailor was about to capitalize, when North put his hands to stop and motioned to Thompson. North held Dennis Thompson in his arms, trying to help him. Trailer stood around watching, while Danny Miller joined.
Edward Findleton: And Thompson took that clothesline hard, and all the men in the ring are quite obviously concerned.
THE Casey Gains: Wait! Edward!
Pete Arrow had slid into the ring, holding a steel chair. He looked over at North, who nodded and covered Thompson’s head with his body and arms. Arrow then slammed the chair into the back of Danny Miller, who fell down in pain. Trailer turned around stunned, but was met with a chair to the gut, then a second to his back. North then rushed to cover Trailor, and Thompson slowly began to count.
Edward Findleton: No! One….come on Jack, kick out….two! You can do it…three. It’s a three count!
THE Casey Gains: The Navigators are the HAW Tag Team Champions!
North stood up and grinned at Arrow, and the two hugged. Dennis Thompson was able to retrieve the tag team titles and handed it over to the two men. The Navigators looked down at the titles, somewhat in disgust, then threw them on the ground. As they exited the ring, they did retrieve them, but dragged the titles on the ground without a care.
Edward Findleton: What is going on?! This isn’t the Navigators I know!
THE Casey Gains: It doesn’t matter how we know them, they’re the new HAW Tag Champs!
Edward Findleton: I can’t deny that, unfortunately. We’re out of time tonight folks, but hopefully we will get answers next week! Good night!
