Dark Matches: Jet Black defeated Leon Baron, Rough Hog Reid Harrison defeated Jenson West
The HAW theme played to start the show.
Edward Findleton: Welcome to HAW! We’re in Nashville tonight, and we’ve got a great show! The Samurais of Power will face Club Corruption, Penny “The Hammer” Downs takes on Monica Stone, and our main event will see Douglas Brunswick take on Cyberhemoth!
THE Casey Gains: And before we went on the air, Freezerman made it official. At Downtown Disaster, it’s a 4 man elimination match, MuscleGang Bros vs The Visitors!
The intro was cut off as Harvey Allison’s music played, who had a cocky grin as he made his way to the ring.
Harvey Allison: Thank you for the tremendous response. I know it must be special to see someone like me, when your previous entertainment as a city is hearing songs about tractors and trucks. But Nashville, you’re not the only ones lucky enough to be in my presence. I’m also talking about…Cole Arcane.
As the crowd cheered Arcane’s name, Allison held his arms out and closed his eyes, basking in the ovation as if the cheers were for him.
Harvey Allison: Ah, feels good. Well, Cole Arcane is a strange case. This is a man who has done nothing but fail to deliver, week after week. I honestly don’t know why we signed him, or why anyone ever employed him before us. I mean, I have the looks of a model, but Cole Arcane should model too…they can put his picture in the dictionary after the word “disappointment!” Haha, wow, I crack myself up. Look, the truth is-
Allison was cut off as Cole Arcane’s music hit, and an annoyed Arcane walked down to the ring, and looked over Harvey Allison.
Cole Arcane: I’m going to be honest with you. You’re going around bragging, talking about how great you are and how terrible I am. It makes sense, I remember being a young wrestler once, trying to make a name for myself. But prior to a couple of weeks ago, I had no idea who you were. Actually, I’m still not sure I remember your full name. I just know that you’ve been like a parasite, latching onto me. So kid, you want your 15 minutes of fame? Fine. Let’s fight one on one at Downtown Disaster.
Harvey Allison: Handsome Harvey Allison vs Cole Arcane? I accept!
Cole Arcane: Good, now shut up, I’ll see you next week.
Cole Arcane started to leave and made his way back up the ramp. However, right before he made it to the entranceway, Pastor James’ music started up, and James walked out with Dixie Boyle and Ivy Clarke.
Pastor James: Cole Arcane…the new sheep of the flock! A pleasure to finally meet you! It’s been tough to track you down, but the good Lord has shown me the path! Now with you being the newest member of HAW, I imagine you’ve had trouble finding a match. I myself am in the same boat, so at Downtown Disaster, I challenge you to-
Cole Arcane: Whoa, were you even listening? I’m fighting Pretty Boy down there. You’re a bit too late.
Arcane patted James on the shoulder and left, as Pastor James looked visibly frustrated, and Dixie and Ivy needed to calm him down.
Edward Findleton: Well we’ve got another match set for Downtown Disaster! Unfortunately, Pastor James does not. Oh well! Let’s go backstage where it sounds like some action is going down!
Walking through the corridors, Jenna Ingram was walking with a purpose, while Hazel Glover followed along. In the distance, she spotted Exotic Delights, and made a line straight towards the two.
Jenna Ingram: You two! Zoey is out because of you two!
Lela LaCruse: Oh no! She won’t be able to appear? Toooooo bad!
Jenna Ingram: We’re not waiting for next week. We want to defend the titles tonight so we can make you feel some pain!
Phueng Ahunai: Yeah, no. Not ready for a title match tonight. But…what about two singles matches? Me and you, Lela and Hazel?
Jenna Ingram: We granted you the title opportunity, but we can take it back. So here’s what I think, we’ll do the singles matches now, we’ll do the tag titles next week, but if you lose, Exotic Delights can never team together again. And if you refuse all of this, then there’s no match next week, you don’t get a title shot, and we’ll just win these right back anyway! So what do you say?
Lela LaCruse: Typical bully…oh well, we’re not afraid. We accept.
Jenna Ingram: Then we’re doing the singles matches now!
Jenna grabbed Phueng by the arm and started practically dragging her towards the stage entrance. No music played as Jenna and Phueng walked out to the ramp together, and as they got in the ring and the bell rung, Jenna immediately attacked Phueng. Jenna dominated the match, and defeated Phueng in 2:56.
Edward Findleton: Jenna Ingram, not too pleased at what happened to her friend and fellow member of The Stable, Zoey Chambers, but tonight she got a little revenge.
THE Casey Gains: I guess the question is, can Hazel follow up on that performance?
Eddward Findleton: We’ll find out in a little bit, but first, we’re going backstage to Gregory Greystone!
Gregory Greystone: Hello ladies and gentlemen! I’m being joined by Phoenix and Fun Fight Machine! Gentlemen, you two have been getting along quite well the last few weeks, what’s the plan for the future?
Phoenix: Well, that’s a great question. We can always become a tag team. We have a good name already, The Firing Squad. Fun’s got a fire motif going on, a phoenix rising from the ashes, pretty cool, right?
Fun Fight Machine: But right now, we are focusing on wrestling. We are falling back in love with it! And my current focus…is to help Phoenix. I want him to win a title.
Mayor Briggs: Aw mate, is that so?
Briggs, Bigg Pimpin’ Alex, and The United States all walked into the frame.
Mayor Briggs: Ya defeated one of my City Council members last week, good job. Maybe, maybe that means…Phoenix here is good enough to defeat me, and become the HAW National Champion! That’s right, Phoenix vs Mayor Briggs, next week! Unless…Fun, are you sure? You want Phoenix to challenge me?
Fun Fight Machine: Yes. He deserves this opportunity.
Mayor Briggs: Aight, I agree. He does. These moments don’t come by too often, right? Don’t want to waste the’emm, and look back in the mirror and go “Wow, I wish I had done things a tad differently.” Ah well, good on ya Fight Machine, you’re a right ol’ lad! See all ya in a week!
The City Council left, and Fun and Phoenix stared off after them.
Phoenix: I think he was trying to plant the idea in your head that you wasted your title shot, and to turn you against me.
Fun Fight Machine: Oh? I could not understand him with his accent. His English needs to be better.
Gregory Greystone: Edward, Casey, back to you!
At ringside, this time the music of The Stable played, as Hazel Glover came down for her match against Lela LaCruse, who followed.
The match was more even, but Lela managed to turn the tide with a poke to Hazel’s eyes, and eventually pin her after a Diving Corkscrew Moonsault in 8:18.
Edward Findleton: And Lela picks up the victory! It’s a split decision tonight between Exotic Delights and The Stable, but we’ll see what happens next week with the tag titles on the line!
Outside in the arena parking lot, Scarred Badger was standing next to a light pole. Georgios Stannellis approached him.
Scarred Badger: Hey, I’m glad you accepted my offer to meet here.
Georgios Stanellis: Just make it fast.
Scarred Badger: Look, last week, we both acted like idiots. But I’m telling you…you need to watch out for Row and Kitty. They’re not worth the trouble. They care about each other first and foremost, everyone else is trash. You should just distance yourself if you know what’s good for you. Neither of them are worth it.
Georgios Stanellis: Thanks, I appreciate that. I can respect when someone is telling me the truth. But I need to come clean with you. I didn’t come alone.
At that point, Mitchell Row and Kitty Kayleen came out of a hiding spot from behind a car, and Badger simply nodded.
Georgios Stanellis: I’m glad to hear you say all of this in person. I would never betray Kitty and Mitchell, but I see you’ve shown your true colors.
Scarred Badger: I ain’t one for secrets. I accept what’s about to happen to me, but Stanellis…quit acting like a boy, and be a man. Meet me in the ring next week at Downtown Disaster.
Georgios Stanellis: I’d be happy to destroy you next week…and this week.
At that point, Stanellis and Row started attacking Row, beating him down and throwing him into cars, until Badger could no longer stand. Row and Stanellis nodded to each other, and departed with Kitty.
Back in the arena, the Samurais of Power made their entrance, as Trickshot and Ozzie Reagan came ready to fight, Sensei Onaga backing them up. Club Corruption followed, and the match began.
The teamwork of the Samurais of Power was on full display, and they picked up the win after Ozzie Reagan hit a Butterfly Backbreaker on Ninja in 6:18. After the match, Onaga grabbed a microphone.
Sensei Onaga: Niko Green, RJ Bu. We thank you for giving the Samurais of Power a chance. But next week, we are going full force!
Edward Findleton: It looks like a respectful bout will take place next week at Downtown Disaster between these two teams!
THE Casey Gains: Well we’re about to hear from Peter “Carnage” Horn and Alfred Karneus, and I don’t know if they’ll have anything respectful to say about Franco Mancini!
Horn’s music played, and he and Karneus made their way down to the ring.
Alfred Karneus: Tonight, ladies and gentlemen, is a special night. Look in this ring. This is the last time you’ll see Peter “Carnage” Horn without a title over his shoulder! Franco Mancini has become so desperate, he’s resorted to pretending that beating some no name creep in a faster time is an accomplishment? I can honestly say, Franco, I’m not impressed.
At that point, an angry Franco Mancini came out to confront the duo in the ring.
Franco Mancini: I do agree Karneus, my win means nothing. All that matters is next week, when I beat this oaf at Downtown Disaster!
Karneus was about to speak, but Horn forcefully grabbed the microphone from Alfred’s hands.
Peter Horn: Mancini…all it takes….is one move!
Horn quickly got a hold of Franco, and hit a Side Sitout Powerslam. Horn picked up the title that Franco dropped and held it up in the air, while Karneus held up the Book of Carnage. Horn took a long look at the belt, before tossing it next to a still down Manicni and exited.
Edward Findleton: That Side Sitout Powerslam had put away 16 other wrestlers. I think it’s best if Franco avoids getting hit with that next week, or he’ll be in the Book of Carnage.
THE Casey Gains: Well we’ve got more wrestling to get to as they help Franco to the back, it’s Penny Downs vs Monica Stone!
Penny and Monica made their respective entrances, and Penny came out of the gate fired up. Downs controlled the match, and promptly won after hitting a Single Underhook Facebuster. After the match, she exited the ring and took a microphone, before sitting on the ring steps.
Penny Downs: I just wanted to talk for a bit. I have this weird feeling inside of me. Sort of like guilt. Imposter syndrome. I don’t think anyone believes in me. They don’t think I should be facing Kherti Bhakta next week. But I really should. I never lost to her. I forced my way into a match to get a rematch, yeah, but I won that! And then last week…Kherti just gives me lip service? I’m a great wrestler, I’ve got potential, she respects me. But she doesn’t! She doesn’t think I’m a threat! Kherti, it was just a few years ago that your family didn’t believe in you as a wrestler! And I related to that! I felt that, watching you, because my whole career has been people doubting me!
Penny took a few deep breaths then stood up from the steps.
Penny Downs: But it makes sense. Respect has to be earned. So Kherti, I want to truly earn you respect, so I asked Freezerman to make next week’s match…Last Woman Standing!
Penny threw the microphone down, and walked to the back.
Edward Findleton: Well that really ups the ante for next week’s Women’s Championship match!
THE Casey Gains: Penny is ready, and I think Kherti should really prepare as well. This is going to be a tough match.
Edward Findleton: And speaking of tough matches…it’s our main event, Douglas Brunswick and the Cyberhemoth!
Cyberhemoth made his entrance, accompanied by Glenny Pax, Kenneth Cobb, and The Venator. As Douglas Brunswick walked out, there was no sign of the MuscleGang.
THE Casey Gains: I really think Douglas Brunswick needs his MuscleGang Bros with him today…The Visitors don’t play fair.
Edward Findleton: And if not tonight in this one on one match, he definitely needs them next week! He will NOT win a 4 on 1 match!
As the match began, Brunswick tried to focus on Cyberhemoth’s legs, but quickly met the first of Cyberhemoth, who started a series of methodical, powerful slams to Brunswick. As Glenny laughed outside the ring, Cyberhemoth seemed to toy with Brunswick. However, Brunswick managed to reverse a slam into a bulldog. Brunswick worked on adrenaline, and managed to hit the Lifting Reverse DDT on Cyberhemoth. As Brunswick went for the cover, the lights went out, and a spotlight hit the ring again, freezing referee Tom Hunter.
Edward Findleton: Oh not these alien freezing rays again!
As Glenny, Cobb, and the Venator rushed to the ring, the spotlight went out, and the normal arena lights came on again. All four Visitors looked confused, as did a now moving Tom Hunter, until a camera zoomed in on Frederic St. Pierre in the rafters, holding the spotlight. A second camera then zoomed to show Crash and Liam at the lighting table, making sure the arena lights were on. Glenny, The Venator, and Cobb rushed out of the ring towards Crash and Liam. Crash took off running, and Liam followed, but not before flipping a setting to multicolor disco lights.
In the ring, a groggy Cyberhemoth struggled to his feet, and Brunswick hit a second Lifting Reverse DDT. He covered Cyberhemoth, and picked up the three count this time. The Visitors rushed back to the ring, but Brunswick fled into the crowd, leaving Glenny enraged.
Edward Findleton: Well the MuscleGang Bros were prepared for The Visitors this week! But next week, less hijinks will take place, as all four men will be in the match! We can’t wait to see you at Downtown Disaster! Goodnight!
