A recap package of Eve of Extinction plays before the pyros and graphics of Sunday Night Survival begin. We see Morgoth getting fired by email, Conner becoming the new HWA World Heavyweight Champion, and then the formation of the NGW - The New Generation of Wrestling - fronted by the HWA Champion himself. Keith Kincaid is in the ring.
KK: Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to Survival! I'm Keith Kincaid. Normally I would be sitting down there, next to your favourite play by play guy, and my best friend - Trent Brown. Now due to the actions of the NGW last week, Trent is out of action. Indefinitely.
The crowd boos at this.
KK: Trent, I wish you well buddy, get better soon. Folks, I don't know what the hell is going to happen tonight. We have no president right now, and no play by play announcer. The only staff I've seen tonight is Anderson. So I guess Anderson and myself are running the show.
"Step Up" by Drowning Pool hits and the commision, "Awesome D" Anderson steps out to the top of the ramp. He gets a huge ovation, but manages to quiten the crowd eventually.
ADA: Thanks a lot Raleigh!
Another huge cheer.
KK: Milk it Anderson, milk it!
ADA: Oh don't worry Keith I plan to!
KK: Anderson, do you have ANY idea whats going on tonight?
ADA: I know about as much as you do Keith for sure. The owners are certainly keeping everyone on their toes since Morgoth got fired last week. Nobodies job is safe. One thing I DO know though is that we have a new play by play man coming in tonight. Thats because I hired him!
KK: Anderson. Tell me. Are the rumours true?
ADA: Well, I'll let him speak for himself.... Raleigh, please go nuts for the former owner of the HWA, a HWA legend, the man who built this place and my former tag team partner - RON ROYALTY!!!
"I Predict A Riot" by the Kaiser Chiefs hits and Ron Royalty appears at the top of the ramp dressed in a fine Armani suit and tie and wearing some expensive looking glasses. He raises a fist into the air as the crowd go absolutely insane!
RR: HWA - HOW YOU DOING?!
More huge cheers as Royalty nods his head in respect to the crowd.
RR: Wow, thanks! I thought you guys might have forgotten me!
It certainly doesn't appear that way though as the crowd are blowing the roof off the arena. Royalty climbs into the ring and shakes hands with Keith Kincaid. Anderson raises the mike to his lips.
ADA: How about it folks - our new announce team!
The crowd shows their appreciation for Anderson's hiring of Royalty as the show prepares to make a formal start, Ron Royalty and Keith Kincaid taking their seats at ringside.
RR: Well here we have the former HWA President, Morgoth, with a chance to win his right to stay in the HWA as a wrestler, against a guy I first brought to the HWA - Fat Larry White.
The two men begin in the ring. Fat Larry clotheslines Morgoth. Morgoth goes down and stays down.
KK: I guess Morgoth's in ring skills have depreciated to the level that his management skills have too.
RR: Kinda harsh double K, but I can't say I disagree all that much with you.
Larry White shrugs his shoulder, then does his trademark 'sit down' pin. He gets the 1-2-3 and Morgoth has to leave the HWA.
RR: Wow. Sucks to be Morgoth doesn't it Keith!
KK: Sure does!
The crowd start to sign "hey hey hey goodbye" to Morgoth. Morgoth looks disappointed and dejected as he leaves the ring. Fat Larry White performs his victory dance in the ring, shaking his fat ass all over the place!
KK: Now it's time for the Kevin Conner interview which took place earlier this week. Please roll the tape, monkeys!
Q1) Kevin Conner. You're only the third HWA in the last year to take the 'sit down' interview. The other two being Michael Diamond and Danny Starr. How does that feel?
KC: How does it feel? That's your first question. It feels long over due. I feel like its about time. I should of been the first to be interviewed on this sorry ass show. Really the only thing "good" about this whole entire thing is that I don't have to waste my talent on those ungrateful fans and on a jobber like Tiger Knight. Did you see me beat his ass for this title. A moment that man will never forget. He's a household name because of me. As for you mentioning Michael Diamond and Danny Starr, Not on my time.
Q2) Tell us more about how you got started in wrestling, and your ascent to the top in the HWA.
KC: My rise to the top in the HWA is very well documented as it should of been. I was the next generation coming in at the very young age of 18. But I was wrestling since I was 16. I've loved the sport and studied it all the time. When they say "a student of the game" I'm what they are talking about. Locally I was the hottest thing going around. Pocket Change was with my sister and we put on some great matches but I was lucky enough to get the call up to the HWA. Where as you know I got my ass kicked. But my fueds with Fudge, Starr put me over the top. I mean hell my first match was against Hollywood D. I won every title and became the first Grand Slam Champion, Hardcore, Cruiserweight, International, Tag, World Championship. I came on the scene as took the crowds breathe away. I did, and still do things that make the crowd chant my name no matter what I say or do simply because they know I am the best. And now I got this World Title as proof!
Q3) You recently formed the group NGW - The New Generation of Wrestling. What prompted you to form this group, and what are your aims?
KC: In my whole entire life I've always wanted to lead the strongest force in wrestling, but i had to wait for the perfect time to do it. You see this isn't your old school wrestling days like Hulk Hogan, Ultimate Warrior, Macho Man, Jake Roberts. This is a New Generation, the generation of excilents. See this sport doesn;t come down to size and strength anymore. This is a Generation of mind games and speed. See there are strength in numbers and might equals right. The NGW is hte most powerful foce in the HWA and as of right now we have no offical targets but everyone has been warmed that you, are not safe!
Q4) What role do you see each member of the NGW taking within your group?
KC: We all have our own personal fueds with people or obligations that we have to live up to. Such as Pocket Change, the CFO Champion, Kevin Hurts, he's the X-Treme Champion, and myself who is the World Champion. That means the NGW holds every title in the HWA right now. But I'm not going to be cliche and rename this title the NGW World Heavyweight Championship, no, I am gonna keep it the same name because it shows the demise of this orgination. See for years I was the heart and soul of this place and i still am. Each member of the NGW will stick together. We are stronger together then we are devided and nothing we seperate us.
Q5) Ron Royalty returned this week to perform play-by-play duties for the HWA. What is your reaction to the former owner and president's return?
KC: Ron Royality? He's still around? How many times has that dude come back? My reaction is the same reaction that I have towards everyone else. You saw what the NGW did to Trent Brown, if it comes down to it. We will do the same to Ron Royality. So my advice to Ron, watch your back and stay out of my face, you're not the owner or the president anymore Ron, you're just a washed-up wrestler turned announcer.
Q6) Now that you're the HWA Champion once again, who do you think will step up to be the next challenger and why?
KC: My next challenge. There is really no one that can challenge me but I have to think that Tiger Knight wants a rematch. Why someone would want to get their ass kicked again I don't know but I just think that's how Tiger Knight lives life. From ass kicking to ass kicking. You see, this is my third reign as HWA World Heavyweight Champion, and it will be my longest because the only way someone else is going to be holding this championship, is when I'm dead!
Q7) Aside from Tiger Knight who do you see as being the biggest threat in the HWA currently?
KC: You? (Conner laughs) The biggest threat in the HWA is myself. Then Pocket Change or Kevin Hurts. But they aren't threats to me or my HWA World Championship because they are on my side. I mean Judge is out there, but please Judge isn't anyone. Like i stated it not about the size, its about the mind over body! I will put my body through anything and it makes whomever I'm in the ring with quiver! These scars aren't paint and make up. They are what I will go through to get what I want. If anyone wants to step up to the plate and try to pry this title away from me, they are more then welcome. But I don't see that happening anytime soon, so until then, I'll just enjoy my life.
Q8) Who do you think will be named the new president of the HWA later this evening?
KC: You know I've been thinking that ever since it was announced last week. And to be honest, I don't even think that the person who's going to be annoucned president tonight, even knows. I think the higher ups in the HWA has kept it secret from everyone. I hope later tonight I get called down the ring and crownd HWA President. But who ever it is shouldn't try to control the NGW, beacuse like everyone else they are warned and if they slip up once, Well the Big Boys in charge better pencile in a replacement for him. Right now, I'm the powerful person in the HWA. This title isn't decoration, so whomever comes out and walks the aisle should be scared and nervous for what they are about to get into. Bigg Money, Pocket Change, Kevin Hurts, and "The Celtic Warrior" Kevin Conner are the NEW GENERATION OF WRESTLING and we are unstoppable, because that's just the way we are!
Thankyou for your time Mr Conner
KC: No problem
RR: What is it with Irish wrestlers in the HWA?! There's never been so many! The funniest thing about all of that is the fact that my home is nearer to Dublin than any of theirs!
"Reconnect" by Sevendust hits and Dylan Wolfe stands at the top of the rampway. He gets a mixed reaction as he makes his way to the ring.
RR: Dylan Wolfe is a HELL of a competitor when he wants to be, and i stress that its when he wants to be. His record in the HWA is not particularly great, especially when you look at his win/loss record.
KK: It's almost as if he needs motivation. Which Dylan Wolfe will we see here today do you think Ron?
RR: I just don't know. Obviously I would like to see Dylan at his best, but it's really just up to him.
"Jump Around" by house of pain hits. The crowd dance around to it as the popular Shawn clover makes his way to the ring, slapping hands with fans on the way. He jumps over the top turnbuckle and prepares to face Wolfe. The bell rings and we're underway. Clover goes straight on the offensive, attempting to wrestle Wolfe into the corner. Wolfe shoves Clover back, and Clover tumbles into the centre of the ring. Wolfe takes a step backward onto the middle turnbuckle, then lands a flying elbow on to Clover. Clover rolls over in pain, but recovers in time to prevent Wolfe locking in a figure four leglock on him. Clover reverses and pushes Wolfe away.
RR: Interesting exchange here in the early going.
KK: Neither man getting an advantage, though Clover has spent a while on the mat.
They tie up, but neither man can take advantage. Clover goes for the Pot o' Gold, but Wolfe reverses and hits a DDT. Clover is reintroduced to the mat once more. This time Wolfe applies the figure four succesfully. Clover reaches for the bottom rope but can't reach it. He roars with pain and stretches his fingertips as far as possible after a slight shuffle and is able to make the rope. Referee Wallace Cunningham makes the rope break and Wolfe is back on his feet ready to apply the next attack.
RR: Dylan Wolfe is showing his crisp technical skills here, and has managed to ground the high flyer elements of Clover's game.
KK: Clover definitely needs those to win. This is a good tactical display by Wolfe, he's clearly done his research on Clover.
Clover tries to climb a turnbuckle, but Wolfe is there quickly and throws Clover to the mat in a modified facebuster. The crowd wince collectively as Clover's neck snaps backwards with the impact.
KK: Oh my God thats gotta hurt!
RR: Yes, and it's a perfect set up for something....
Sure enough, Wolfe picks up Clover and hits the Punishment Wolfe(Set-up for Tombstone Piledriver, but instead of piledriving, he falls forward, slamming the neck onto the canvas.) Wolfe makes the cover 1-2-3 and it's over.
KK: Good win by Wolfe.
RR: Certainly is. Clover put up a good fight, but he wasn't a match for Dylan Wolfe's tactical knowledge. Wolfe is a thinking man's wrestler for sure.
We are backstage, and Tiger Knight is doing his pre-match warm ups when all of a sudden three men barge into the dressing room wearing the 'carver' masks. Tiger Knight backs into a corner, then the men throw off the masks revealing them to be Pocket Change, Kevin Hurts and Bigg Money. Tiger Knight laughs at them.
TK: Jeez, I think your real faces are scarier!
Pocket Change commences a vicious attack on TK. TK goes down and all three men stomp on him. The camera catches an occaision glimpse. TK's face is now covered in blood.
PC: Consider yourself a victim of the NGW.
The three men walk away back to their dressing room, laughing and joking.
RR: I guess that means Tiger Knight will not be involved in the main event match tonight.
KK: That leaves Shawn Clover to fight single handedly against the NGW.
The scene switches back to Anderson's office where Tiger Knight has just entered.
ADA: Well if it isn't our former champion!
TK: What? Oh. Oh yeah. Well look, I'm giving my notice Anderson. I quit.
ADA: You're walking out?
TK: Yep, thats what I said.
ADA: Right. Why is that?
TK: It's this place. The management. They've had it in for me since day 1.
ADA: I don't see that TK to be honest. I mean, we've had different Presidents under your tenure here too.
TK: Well I don't like it. I keep on getting screwed out of matches.
ADA: Perhaps thats because, well, you just don't try!
TK: Thats not fair Anderson.
ADA: Well look, you only won two matches! One was a world title qualifier, the other was FOR the world title! I guess people are justified in saying that you were the biggest flash in the pan we ever saw in the HWA!
TK: What?
ADA: Yeah thats right. This place stands for pride and honour, of which you have neither. Now get the FUCK out of my office and get the FUCK out of the HWA you snivelling little piece of shit.
Anderson raises up from his side of the desk and TK gets the hell out of there as quickly as he possibly can.
RR: Anderson just OWNED Tiger Knight!
KK: Good riddance to old trash I say.
RR: Yes indeed. Now we're going backstage again. This time to the NGW dressing room.
(The NGW sits in there dressing room talking about the attack on Tiger Knight and also their up coming matches. Everyone lets out a laugh at the mention of Tiger Knight and his ill-fated title reign. A knock on the door causes everyone to stifle their laughter. Kevin Hurts gets up and answers the door. Jay Marshall stands on the other side with yet another worried look on his face.)
Jay: Kevin! Just the guy I was looking for. Earlier in the week you mentioned that you had a surprise for everyone that you would reveal tonight.
Kevin Hurts: Oh yeah. Thanks Jay! I almost forgot. One second.
(Kevin Hurts grabs a large brown bag off a nearby chair and his X-treme belt and exits the room.)
Jay: So? Are you ready to show everyone what's in the bag?
Kevin Hurts: Yeah I am. But not here.
Jay: Then where?
Kevin Hurts: Where else? Come on think about.
Jay: You mean out in the ring?
Kevin Hurts: Bingo!
(Kevin Hurts and Jay Marshall make their way to the ring passing several stagehands and other backstage crewmen. Out in the arena 'Immortal' by Adema hits and blue strobe lights kick on. Kevin Hurts walks out with his belt in hand and the large brown bag in the other. Jay Marshall trails shortly behind him. Kevin Hurts slides into the ring and rises as Jay steps into the ring. The music cuts off as Jay grabs a mic.)
Jay: Well ladies and gentlemen. Now is the time that at least I have been waiting for. Now is the time for the unveiling of the surprise
(Kevin Hurts grabs the mic from Jay and shoves him to the side.)
Kevin Hurts: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, I told Jay earlier this week that I had a surprise for everyone. And I hold it in my hand right here! So if Jay here will be so kind as to hold my mic for a second, I’ll unveil my little surprise for everyone.
(Jay steps forward and takes the mic as Kevin Hurts grabs the bag and opens it. He pokes his head in and pulls it out laughing. He reaches in and pulls out the International Title! Hurts begins to laugh as the entire crowd begins booing him and start throwing trash at him. Kevin takes the mic back from Jay and drops the bag onto the mat.)
Kevin Hurts: I told everyone I had a surprise and here it is. What do you think? Let's see how it fits.
(Hurts puts the mic in his pocket and places the title around his waist and begins to laugh. He pulls the mic out of his pocket and raises it to his mouth once more.)
Kevin Hurts: Fits nicely. A little snug but I could get used to it.
(The crowd begins a chant of 'Asshole!')
Kevin Hurts: Oh come on now. There's no reason to call Jay here that! He hasn't done a thing yet. Don't worry folks; you won't have to worry about this belt leaving my side. It's just a small trophy I decided to collect. It isn't in circulation right now and I just couldn't bear to see it collecting dust any longer. After all, who better to hold onto the belt than the man that put it inactive?
(Jay walks over to the edge of the ring and picks up another mic.)
Jay: Well, why not bring it back and defend it like a true champion?
Kevin Hurts: Are you questioning my skills Jay?
Jay: N-No. That's not what I meant.
Kevin Hurts: Then what did you mean?
Jay: I-I just, well,
Kevin Hurts: Haha. Chill out Jay. It's ok. I know what you meant.
(Jay lets out a deep sigh of relief. A large smile crosses his face as Kevin Hurts starts to leave the ring with the X-treme title on his shoulder and International title in hand. As he reaches the ropes he turns around and walks back towards Jay. Jay holds out the mic for Hurts to talk into.)
Kevin Hurts: You know, there was one thing I forgot to say. Earlier in the week I said something else. What was it? Oh yeah! No one is safe, not even you!
(Hurts smashes Jay in head with the International title knocking him to the mat in a heap. Hurts stands over the unconscious Jay Marshall and begins to laugh once more. Hurts leaves the ring and heads to the back smiling at his handy work as a chant of Asshole! fills the arena. Referees and EMTs run down to the ring to check on the injured Jay.)
"Immortal" by Adema hits and Kevin Hurts comes out, wearing both the X-Treme Championship, and also the International Title he had brought back out earlier in the evening. He gets roundly boo'd be the HWA faithful as he makes his way to the ring.
RR: What? No support for Hurts? Where's the rest of the NGW?!
KK: Yes that IS surprising. Perhaps this actually WILL be a fair one on one.
RR: I somehow doubt that.
"November Rain" by Guns 'N' Roses hits and Judge walks slowly down to the ring. He is met with a mixed reaction.
KK: Seems a few people are behind Judge in this match, probably just on principle because he is opposing a member of the NGW.
RR: Yeah, it's quite possible.
The match gets underway. Judge goes for the big boot. Hurts ducks and knocks Judge down with a roundhouse kick. This big man falls, but luckily falls into the turnbuckle and is quickly up again. Hurts elbows Judge a couple of times. Judge just shoves Hurts away, then clotheslines him to the mat. Hurts goes down. Judge sits on the top turnbuckle and makes himself comfortable, waiting for Hurts.
KK: Now thats just patronising Hurts!
RR: Yeah, but you've gotta love Judge's style!
Hurts eventually gets up but can't believe the disrespect Judge has showed him. He approaches Judge and tries to push him off the turnbuckle. Judge instead hooks an arm around Hurts and attempts the Tornado DDT. Hurts manages to get one hand onto the top rope though and the two men fall in a heap.
RR: Uh, oh, here's trouble.
Conner runs down the ramp and then grabs a back under the ring as two men lay their motionless. He gest in the ring and grabs a bag. The crowd is booing loudly.
KK: What's in the bag?
RR: I think I know
Conner then empties the bag and its full of thousands thumbtacs. Judge gets up and catches Conner as he throw bags accross. Conner turns around and grabs him by the throat and lifts him up but Hurts hits a low blow. Conner then kicks Judge in the stomach and then sets him up and hits the Conner Clash in the tacs. Judge screams in pain and so does Conner trying to get them out of his shins. Conner rolls out the ring and then back.
KK: A CONNER CLASH IN THE TACS! NGW WILL STOP A NOTHING.
RR: To be fair and impartial, like we're supposed to be, Judge did basically call out the NGW to attack them.
KK: We've got even more company here.
Bigg Money and Pocket Change come running down to the ring. Within a few moments all four men are putting the boots in to Judge. But suddenly, in a page out of Hulk Hogan's book, Judge manages to shake them off, sending one man flying to each corner of the ring, looking like some sort of choreography in spandex!
RR: Wow, such power from Judge.
KK: Thats why he's a multiple time HWA Champion!
But the fight back is short lived. A timely low blow from Bigg Money and Judge is bowed over. Hurts hits a DDT and Judge is grounded. Wallace Cunningham refuses to make the pin when Hurts covers Judge. Change and Conner march Cunningham over and force his hand down three times.
RR: Hurts wins, but this is just ridiculous. The NGW are having their way with the rest of the HWA roster. This simply isn't fair.
RR: Ladies and gentleman, as you all well know, the HWA owners have spoken. They have demanded Morgoths eviction from the HWA Presidency. In his stead, they apparently have brought forth a new president to fill in Morgoths shoes.
KK: And what big shoes he has to fill!
RR: Literally, but not metaphorically. In truth, Morgoth has been very lax in the ring, and in his policymaking as well. While the new President would be hard-pressed to fill in the mans real shoes, it would seem that it wouldnt take too much to be a better President than he was.
KK: Well, either way, Ron, if Im not being lied to in my earpiece here, the new HWA President is about to be announced! And no, it's not you!
RR: Good, I cant wait to see who these people have chosen. Will it be someone new? Someone we know?
KK: Keep your pants on, were about to find out.
RR: I suppose we are.
The lights dim. Silence fills the arena for at least a full minute, mounting suspension. The cheering fans, seeing the eeriness of the moment, quieted down as well, waiting with mute anticipation for the unveiling of the new leader of the HWA.
Once the entire crowd has silenced themselves, an old, but familiar song starts to play over the speakers. The oldest of old-school HWA fans begin to roar loudly, standing up even to announce their loyalty to an old favorite of the HWA, rather scarcely seen these days. Slightly younger fans look on in puzzlement, knowing theyve heard that song somewhere, but not able to place it. The newest fans, those tuning in only for this new age of HWA wrestling, look on completely clueless as the song keeps playing.
The song is Vultures by the Offspring. The slow, bass-filled guitar riffs blast over the small, but ferocious amount of cheers.
KK: Hey... that sounds very familiar...
RR: Oh my God, it cant be...
Fog begins to rise from the stage area, and through the haze, a large silhouette stands tall and firm.
KK: Is that...?
RR: Oh my GOD! IT IS! IT IS!!!
The fog finally dies down, and a spotlight shines on the stage, revealing the man to be none other than former HWA Champion, Former HWA President, and Current Hall of Famer Sett. He has a microphone in his hand, and he slowly raises it to his lips, listening as the die-hard fans cheers are amplified by the cheers of all those who know and love the man, including a fair bit of the newest of new-school fans. Sett smirks, basking in the cheers for a while longer, before finally speaking. As he does so, the music fades into nothingness, and the cheers descend in pitch to a dull roar to allow the man to speak.
Sett: Man... that was a hell of a fanfare, huh?
The crowds roar rises uncontrollably again, shaking the rafters with its pure volume. Sett shakes his head and laughs, making sure to drop the mic from his mouth in an attempt to retain some semblance of professionalism. With his free hand, he motions for the crowd to quiet down a bit, and they comply willingly.
Sett: Yeah, so I told the FX guys in the back I just wanted them to play my music and maybe throw some lights around a bit. This is what they give me. An entrance worthy of a king or some shit. Youd think I was the new HWA President, the way these guys were carrying on back there.
The camera zooms in on Setts face, and he winks, following it up with a little smirk. Again, the crowd roars at the final indication of what they all knew to be true in the first place: Sett had indeed been appointed the HWA President once more. Sett begins to walk to the ring, talking as he does so.
Sett: Now, Ive been hit with a bit of controversy, especially considering my past life out of ring, and my former stint at the presidency. Apparently a few people werent happy with the fact that I, outside of my wrestling life, was dealing with situations that were bigger than my career, and as such, I wasnt as prepared for things in-ring. And then there were the naysayers, saying how the HWA under my eye was one of the lowest points in HWA history. Well, Im sorry if my actions out of ring, you know, saving the great state of Texas from organized crime and all, offended any of you. Ill try to be a better boy next time. And as far as my presidency last time...
Sett stops speaking as he reaches the apron, and climbs in, pulling himself up to the apron and swinging his legs over the ropes as only a big man like Sett can truly pull off. Once in the middle of the ring, Sett began anew, finishing his thought from a few moments previous.
Sett: ... who can say I wasnt entertaining? Dont forget, youre looking at the man who brought you one of the most legendary matches of all time! SyXx versus Billy The Bear!
The crowd laughs, and Sett nods, grinning for a moment, until his face clears, and he looks all business once more.
Sett: Lets get serious, though. I was sitting at home a few days back, when I get an email from HWA Entertainment, Ltd. It was very short, very succinct, it more or less just said get your ass to Survival, youre HWAs new president. Apparently, my good buddy Morgoth doesnt have what it takes to run this place, so they brought in another good ol boy from down South. A good move, if you ask me. You kids in the audience might be wondering what the hell Im doing now, considering Ive got the HWA in my hands. Well, I intend on fixing things. This place has been hella boring, man! All this new talent is great, dont get me wrong... but nothings happening! This isnt your high school Greco-Roman, this is sports entertainment! And yet the only thing Im seeing is some family-feuding Soap Opera bullshit!
The crowd cheers at Setts blatant denunciation of Conner and Changes feud turned alliance. Sett smirks and continues.
Sett: Speaking on that, I should divulge my first order of business. NGW, New Generation of Bullshit, or whatever, as soon as you guys started playing Guess who? with the HWA roster, I said I would bring you down. Now that youve finally revealed yourselves, I find it wont be so hard after all. I havent quite decided how Im getting to destroy you, but just keep watch, kiddos. Just hide and watch while I show you how old-schoolers win matches: With style, with skill, not with trickery and backstage bullshit. Aside from that, well, this goes out to everyone in HWA: Just expect this place to be a lot more fun, now that Im here. Im here for you. Any of you kids need something, youll know where to find me. Oh, and one more thing. Now that Im in charge, if any of you decide to step out of line, expect a very swift retribution, at the hands of some Southern Justice. Got it? Good.
Sett nods the a nearby ring attendant and hands him the mic, raising his arms into the air as Vultures and the crowds cheers come up. Grinning, Sett, for the second time, basks in the crowds acceptance, turning back to face the ramp, leaving the ring and making his way to the back.
KK: Well Ill be damned...
RR: Setts back! Setts back and in control of the HWA, ladies and gentlemen! Finally, this place is going to be set right!
KK: Pun intended, Ron?
TB: ... shut up, Keith.
Kevin Hurts and Pocket Change walk down to the ring to the NGW Theme tune, they are accompanied by Bigg Money and are looking incredibly confident.
KK: I suppose they've got every reason to be confident! It's a 2 on 1 match since TK walked out!
RR: Thats right. Shawn Clover has a hell of a job on his hands here. In fact really, with Bigg Money at ringside, and lets be honest, Conner will probably be down here at some point too, it's going to be more than just 2 on 1. Plus he's already had a match tonight!
"Jump Around" by House of Pain hits, and while the crowd dance around to it, doing the trademarked head bobbing, Shawn clover's face is much more serious.
RR: There walks a man with the weight of the federation resting on his shoulders.
KK: Yeah, but can he get the job done? I say its damned near impossible.
Clover gets into the ring, and even before the bell rings he is set upon by Change and Hurts. The two men pummel him down with rights and lefts. All Clover can do is roll out of the ring. Clover grabs a chair and throws it at Change. This takes Change out of the match for a few seconds, allowing Clover to knock down Hurts with a drop kick. Clover goes to retrieve the chair but he is blindsided by Bigg Money who sends Clover hurtling into the crowd barrier. Clover collides awkwardly, his ribs taking the brunt of the impact.
Next, Kevin Conner appears the other side of the railings, dressed as a fan in a hoodie. He grabs Clover around his neck. The others take turns in finishing the job on Shawn Clover's ribs while Conner maintains the choke hold. Shawn Clover starts to turn purple.
RR: Shit. They're going to KILL Clover! Somebody DO something!
KK: Ron! Why don't you get out there and help?
RR: I can't. I'm only hired as an announcer remember. I wish I could.....
KK: Well who the hell else IS there?! Judge is out injured now, Tiger Knight quit, Dylan Wolfe just had a match with Clover and is unlikely to help.
RR: The HWA just doesn't have anyone out there to stop the NGW. I'm putting out a plea. Can ANYONE out there help us fight the NGW?!
KK: Wait a second, i'm getting word in my headset, Anderson has authorised a match, next week: YOU CAN WRESTLE!! You and Sett versus two of the NGW!!
The show goes off the air as Shawn Clover finally taps out after putting up a brave fight.
