Dark Matches: Team Sentinel (Sentinel, Billy Taylor, Wesley Wagner) defeated Jenson West, Connor Andrews and Tyler Ford, Penny “The Hammer” Downs defeated Bethany Watts
HAW Kicked off, with a lot of the women’s roster already in the ring.
Edward Findleton: Welcome to HAW! We’re in Portland, Oregon, and we’ve got an interesting set up in the ring! The Stable, The Strange Crew, Exotic Delights, and Solo Girls are all in the ring, as if Kherti Bhakta, awaiting Sekino The Stunt Pilot!
Sekino’s music played and the Women’s Champion came out. The roster stood between Kherti and Sekino, preventing a fight from breaking out as each had a microphone.
Kherti Bhakta: Sekino, I’m making this simple for you to hear. I’m challenging you for the HAW Women’s Championship. You don’t have a choice really, I will fight you until you give me that match. I will attack you, I will ambush you, I will make your life hell, until I get this match against you. Because this isn’t even about the title. This is about revenge. And seeing you stripped of the thing you covet most, maybe I can finally get some peace. Maybe I can bring peace to people like Penny “The Hammer” Downs, a woman you’ve bullied all year. And maybe I can bring peace to Athena, knowing that your days as top dog are over.
Sekino rolled her eyes and gave an exaggerated yawn.
Sekino: You want to challenge me? You’re so boring! I beat you how many times?! But ok, if you want boring, we can do boring. Another match, Sekino vs Kherti. Another title defense for Sekino. Oh! And I almost forgot! To keep this as boring as possible….another cage match!
Sekino started to chuckle, and left the ring, not interested in trying to fight Kherti tonight.
Edward Findleton: Well folks, it’s official, at End of the Trail, it’s Sekino defending against Kherti in another steel cage match!
RJ Bu’s music hit at that point, and he made his way down to the ring, with Niko Green in tow. RJ passed the rest of the women’s roster departing up the ramp, winking and making “call me” hand signals.
Edward Findleton: RJ Bu is in some singles action tonight, but Casey, this season of HAW is winding down just in time for the Thanksgiving holidays!
THE Casey Gains: …
Edward Findleton: I said, just in time for the Thanksgiving holidays!
THE Casey Gains: Don’t make me say this…ok, fine! Ahem, yes Edward, and that reminds me, what kind of key doesn’t open a door?
Edward Findleton: I don’t know, tell me Casey!
THE Casey Gains: …..A Tur-key.
Edward Findleton: What a great joke, which leads us to RJ’s opponent tonight, Phil Grump!
Making his entrance was Mimic, dressed as a pilgrim.
THE Casey Gains: The only thing good that may come out of this match is me stealing Phil Grump’s hat and selling it in 10 years.
The match began, with RJ Bu taking Phil Grump seriously, trying to outwrestle him. Niko Green seemed to reluctantly offer support, clapping his hands a few times but avoiding eye contact with RJ.
Edward Findleton: In all seriousness, RJ should really be putting Phil Grump away quickly.
THE Casey Gains: Niko Green has shown time and time again, he’s good in the ring but RJ…well, he’s inconsistent. It’s there, but he doesn’t always put it all together.
Finally after 5:12, RJ Bu hit a Corkscrew Neckbreaker and pinned Phil Grump. As RJ celebrated with a non enthusiastic Niko, The Navigators appeared on the jumbotron.
Aiden North: Congratulations on the win RJ, very impressive victory.
Pete Arrow: Such courage and determination taking on a valiant opponent tonight.
Aiden North: Niko, good luck next week. You’re REALLY going to need it.
Pete Arrow: We apologize in advance. It’s not fair having a minor league partner.
RJ looked annoyed and complained to Niko, but Niko Green remained emotionless, not doing anything to calm RJ Bu down as the pair exited.
Edward Findleton: Big tag match next week, and the Navigators are claiming they are done with HAW after End of the Trail.
THE Casey Gains: A lot is on the line in the match, titles, careers, contracts, and maybe even friendships.
On the jumbotron, Mayor Briggs appeared, again showing up at Abbey’s Alehouse in England.
Mayor Briggs: Ay’ Mates! Checking in from across the pond again, but I just had to make another vid for El Termitas II! You see Termitas, last week, you probably thought you were clever. The shoelace technique! A classic, and trickery 101!
At that point, El Termitas II started walking down to the ring as Briggs spoke in the video.
Mayor Briggs: See lad, if you want a more advanced course, I’ll teach it next week. I’ll be the professor, you be the student, but I’m warning you, you’re gonna fail!
In the ring, El Termitas II had a microphone in one hand and a remote control in his other. He put his hand on the power button of the remote, and pointed it at the jumbotron.
Mayor Briggs: Ya see, this match we-
The video of Briggs shut off, and Termitas held up the remote control in victory.
El Termitas II: If I knew that would have worked, I would have done that weeks ago!
The crowd cheered, approving of El Termitas’s actions.
El Termitas II: The truth is, all I’ve wanted is just a shot at the HAW National Championship, a one on one match with the best wrestler winning. Look, Briggs ain’t a walk in the park. But I am prepared. Mayor Briggs, I am prepared for whatever tricks you have up your sleeve!
Termitas posed with the remote once more, unaware that Bigg Pimpin’ Alex had slid out from under the ring. Alex came in, and as El Termitas II turned around, attempted a clothesline, but Termitas ducked. Termitas grabbed Alex and hit a Standing Shiraunai, then locking in an Ankle Lock. Alex started tapping in the ring and Termitas let go.
El Termitas II: Tell Briggs, that's his warning!
Alex hobbled away, upset at the failed sneak attack.
Edward Findleton: And we have it on good authority, Mayor Briggs MUST be in Seattle next week for End of the Trail!
THE Casey Gains: Closing time in England tonight, and a national championship match next week!
The scene faded in showing the Samurais of Power at the office of the Daddy, Kyle Higgins, as his stacks of papers were pushing through the ceiling tile, and completely covering the floor of the office.
Kyle Higgins: Sensei, I’m so glad to see you back in one piece.
Sensei Onaga: It’s good to be back, Daddy!
Trickshot: Unfortunately, we didn’t have a chance to retrieve the bra…
Ozzie Reagan: Or even stop Club Corruption.
Kyle Higgins: Samurais of Power, you’ve done great so far. But time is running out. We can’t let Club Corruption go through with the sale! The consequences of that could be potentially deadly!
Sensei Onaga: Samurais, Daddy, I’m happy to tell you I was able to put one of my teachings to use on board that zeppelin. No one is as deaf as the man who will not listen. And I overheard a lot of their plans. I know the location of the sale.
Trickshot: Where?!
Sensei Onaga: Seattle, Washington, next week. The Bra of Miss Lifeguard will be hanging above the ring at End of the Trail.
Ozzie Reagan: This is our chance…if we can get there, maybe by climbing a ladder, before Club Corruption does…
Sensei Onaga: We stop the sale, we prevent Club Corruption’s plan from culminating. Samurais, are you ready?
Trickshot and Ozzie nodded. They formed a circle, put their hands in the center and yelled “Samurais of Power!” as the scene stopped at a freeze frame.
Backstage, Eta Nu Iota was sitting at catering, looking miserable. A staff member came by, holding a tray of biscuits.
Staff: May I interest any of you in a biscuit?
Isabella Dawson started to reach for one, but Hannah Rivers slapped her hand away.
Isabella Dawson: I’m just so hungry!
Hannah Rivers: No! We can’t eat, especially here!
Natasha York: Are you sure that….Summer Fun is trying to poison us?
Hannah Rivers: Yes! First the gummies, then the brownies and now…who knows what they have here. We are only buying grocery store food this week that we’re prepping, and next friday, we aren’t going to eat a single thing.
Isabella Dawson: Can we atleast bring leftovers?
Hannah Rivers: No, we can’t. Isabella, stay focused. I need you of all people to watch out for Natasha and myself. We’re the ones wrestling, make sure we’re safe!
Isabella Dawson: …Fine.
The scene switched to Gregory Greystone in the locker room with Jack Trailor, Danny Miller, and Douglas Brunswick.
Gregory Greystone: Hello ladies and gentlemen! I’m happy to announce we have an official match next week, as these three men next to me will take on The Visitors, Glenny Pax, Cyberhemoth, and The Insomniac Kenneth Cobb! Jack, how are you holding up after last week?
Jack Trailor: Hurt. My feelings hurt. I miss my friend. But I think he’s gone. I need to get over that. I think next week will help.
Gregory Greystone: And the big question of course is for Douglas….why help these two?
Douglas Brunswick: Look, I’m going to admit it. Last year, I tried to manipulate Jack Trailor. And I’ve apologized privately, and I’ll say it again publicly. Jack, I’m sorry for how I behaved in the past. You’re a good guy, and didn’t deserve that type of treatment.
Jack Trailor: It’s ok.
Douglas Brunswick: Thank you. And while I wanted to come out and help, I also wanted to put a stop to these Visitors. Glenny Pax has been a nuisance for too long. I’m sick of him, and quite frankly, he needs to be stopped. So I’m happy to align with Jack Trailor and Danny Miller to stop him.
Danny Miller: Local Legend Danny Miller!
Douglas Brunswick: ….Ok, I grew up here, but sure, Portland’s own Local Legend, Danny Miller! And next week, Seattle’s own, Local Legend Danny Miller!
Danny Miller: Well, not Seattle…I don’t have good memories of that place. A man tried to murder me in my tour bus there.
Gregory Greystone: On that note let’s throw it back to ringside!
In the arena, Pastor James’ theme hit, and he came out with Dixie Boyle in a crop top referee shirt. James was wearing a headset with a microphone, and carrying a wrestle buddy doll modeled after Edward FRindleton
Edward Findleton: What on earth is this? Can we go back to Gregory?
THE Casey Gains: Or even the Samurais of Power. I’ll never complain about the ridiculousness of it again, I promise. Anything to stop whatever James is going to try to do tonight.
As James got to the ring, he placed “Edward” in the corner.
Pastor James: Good evening, brothers and sisters….and welcome to HAW! I’m Pastor James, and we got a rowdy match tonight, it’s Pastor James vs Edward Findleton! Ring the bell! Ding ding ding!
James grabbed the Edward doll, and started a match he called himself, while Dixie officiated.
Pastor James: James is dominating this match! Another…Leg drop! And now…a powerbomb! Edward can’t get to his feet, Pastor James is just too much. What a great wrestler and a great pastor he is! Wait, what’s this? It looks like he’s going for the “Throw the opponent 30 feet in the air” maneuver!
James launched the doll up as high as he could, then punched it on the way down.
Pastor James: What more damage could be done to Edward Findleton? How about..Cobra Clutch Slam! There we go, Dixie Boyle gets in position to cover! One, Two, Three, and Pastor James pulls off the victory of the century!
Dixie raised James hand, and he then turned his attention to the commentary tables.
Pastor James: Now…Edward Findleton. What you just saw was a demonstration. I’ve ended Viking’s career…and I think maybe it’s time I end your career. I challenge you, former world champion to former world champion, next week at End of the Trail! Or…your other option, is you can come in this ring right now, apologize, beg for mercy, and resign from HAW as you try and save some face. What will it be?
Casey Gains grabbed a microphone and stood up from the announce table.
THE Casey Gains: I think I’ve had enough of you. Edward isn’t quitting HAW, and Edward isn’t facing you at End of the Trail. But if you’ve got the guts, then maybe you can have a match with me. Because honestly, I hate you more than he does! But you’re not trying to pick a fight with me, because you want this to be easy. Well I’m sorry to say, but the last easy thing you’ll ever have is Dixie Boyle’s mom!
Dixie’s mouth dropped open in shock, while James looked absolutely enraged.
Pastor James: You….you’ve gone too far! Gains, next week, you’re dead!
James ripped his headset off and threw it to the ground, storming to the back with Dixie following.
Edward Findleton: …Thank you.
THE Casey Gains: Please don’t get sappy, Edward. If he sent you into a coma next week I don’t think I’d be able to last all of next season with him by my side. Let’s throw this backstage to Phoenix and get this show back on track, ok?
Phoenix was backstage, posing for some pictures with fans for an autograph signing. Out of nowhere, Franco Mancini jumped him. A brawl broke out and Franco had Phoenix down on the ground. In desperation, Phoenix grabbed a nearby stapler and pushed it into the knee of Franco Mancini, who screamed in pain, clutching his leg. Phoenix grabbed a garbage cart and pushed it at Franco, who dodged, and charged Phoenix. Franco hit a quick pickpocket onto the arena floor, knocking him out. Mancini stood up, still hunched over clutching his knee. He grabbed a pen and limped to a fan and signed his shirt.
Franco Mancini: A little gift from the future HAW World Champion. When he wakes up, tell him to enjoy his last week as champ.
With that, Franco Mancini limped away.
At ringside, the MuscleGang’s music played, and Crash came out with Liam and St. Pierre.
Edward Findleton: It’s time for our main event, the debut of Georgios Stanellis, as he takes on Crash MuscleGate!
Georgios Stanellis’ music hit and he came out with Mitchell Row, Scarred Badger, and Kitty Kayleen.
As the match began, Stanellis looked solid, hanging with the former World Champion. Both men had gotten in solid offense after about five minutes before a natural break occurred, and Crash nodded in respect. He extended his hand for a shake, and Stanellis accepted. Seeing this, Mitchell got up on the apron and motioned Georgios to come over. Row seemed to be giving him advice.
Seeing this, Crash was annoyed and came over, exchanging words with Row. This angered Georgios, who pushed Crash away, and the wrestling began again, with more intensity now. As Crash started to gain an upper hand, Row, Badger, and Kitty all jumped on the apron. Referee Dennis Thompson ignored them, focusing on the action and not the distraction, but St. Pierre and Liam thought otherwise. The two started to approach Row and Badger, who retreated into the ring, and St. Pierre and Liam followed. The non-participants started to exchange blows.
Edward Findleton: This main event has gone off the rails!
Scarred Badger whipped Liam into the ropes and went for the Big Boot, but Dennis Thompson accidentally stepped foot in the path, and Badger hit Thompson, knocking him out. The brawl between Liam, St. Pierre, Row, and Badger moved to outside the ring, as Crash and Stanellis continued to wrestle. Crash seemed to have Georgios on the run, but Kitty crept into the ring and low blowed Crash. As Crash fell to the ground, Stanellis locked in a Boston Crab. Dennis Thompson started to come to, just as Crash tapped out.
Georgios released the hold, and Kitty rushed into the ring to hug him.
Edward Findleton: Georgios Stanellis makes a former HAW World Champion tap out in his debut match!
THE Casey Gains: That’s the headline right there. Forget the interference, forget everything else. Georgios Stanellis starts his career off with a huge victory!
As Stanellis continued to hug Kitty, Row and Badger returned to the ring, and separated Kitty and Georgios. Georgios looked worried for a few moments, until Mitchell Row smiled and gave him an even bigger hug, as Scarred Badger seemed to roll his eyes and shake his head.
Edward Findleton: Folks, we’re out of time, but be sure to join us next week for HAW’s final show of the season, HAW End of the Trail! Goodnight!
