KK: Thats right, but first, we have a match between some new face here in the HWA, to determine who will face the tag champions - Ron Royalty and The Chosen One at Atmosphere!
RR: Yep, TCO and I are most interested in the outcome of this match, thats for sure!
"Remember the Name" by Fort Minor hits and Shaq Daddy along with HWA veteran Dan Sawyer make their way down to the ring.
KK: Great to see Dan Sawyer back in the HWA, Trent.
TB: Sure is, though he's not really been in good shape in my opinion.
RR: Well we're about to see once and for all what sort of shape he's in. Here come their opponents!
Some jaunty pirate ship style music hits and Jolly Roger appears at the top of the ramp. He holds aloft his 'stuffed' pirate, but gets only a barrage of boos from the crowd. None the less, he makes his way down to the ring.
RR: He's quite some character!
KK: You're not kidding!
TB: Where's Noel Foster?
RR: Well there's the bell, doesn't look like he'll be coming.
Jolly Roger starts in the ring against Shaq Daddy. Shaq tries to spear Roger, but Roger converts it into a DDT.
KK: Wow, great start by Jolly Roger!
RR: Excuse me guys, erm, something's come up and i've got to leave.
Ron puts down his head set and walks back up the ramp towards the back.
TB: That was abrupt. Whats up with Ron?
KK: Not sure. Think he heard something in his head set.
We return to the ring. Dan Sawyer has entered the ring. Dan punches Jolly Roger a couple of times, but Roger just laughs. Dan gets pissed off and starts shoving him. Jolly Roger shoves Dan back, Dan trips over where Shaq Daddy is still lying. Jolly Roger takes advantage of the situation and covers Sawyer. 1-2-3 and Jolly Roger wins!
KK: I really can't believe this guy! Jolly Roger wins here in the HWA!
TB: Hey wait, whats he doing now?!
Jolly Roger starts to hoist a flag aloft on one of the turnbuckles, it is the familiar skull and crossbones black and white flag. Jolly Roger salutes the flag, before retrieving his stuffed parrot and leaves the ring.
KK: So Jolly Roger earns himself a shot at the tag team titles! Who will his partner be?!
TB: Would you want to be his partner?
KK: Not really.
TB: Well then!
MC: So it appears that Pocket Change is too much of a wimp to face me here tonight. Upon seeing my name against his on the card, he bottled it and has quit the HWA. Well thats just fine by me. I still get my X-Treme Title shot at Atmosphere. I don't care if it's Night Stalker or if it's Hurts. One thing's for sure is that you are looking at the next HWA X-Treme Champion!
Mark Crow drops the mike and heads to the back. As he walks up the ramp, Ron Royalty comes down it, he looks at Crow, nods, and continues on his way back to the announce position.
TB: Hey Ron, welcome back. Where've you been?
RR: Just had some business to take care of Trent. Nothing to worry about.
TB: Ah, right. Ok.
KK: Anything wrestling related to tell us, Ron?
RR: Nope. Change the subject boys.
KK: O.... K.....
TB: The fans still show they don’t like Kevin Hurts.
KK: Sounds to me like there are a few people that like him.
Hurts stops just in front of the ring and looks from one side to the other side of the ring at the fans, a smile on his face. He sets his title on the apron and looks under the ring for a weapon. He pulls out a steel chair and slides into the ring with it. Instead of taunting as he normally does, he sets up the chair by the ropes and takes a seat and props his feet up on the second rope.
RR: You talk about cockiness!
TB: It’s like he’s not even worried about this match tonight.
KK: Why should he be? He defeated Night Stalker last time they encountered each other!
TB: People learn from their mistakes Keith. Don’t forget that.
Night Stalkers music hits and he comes walking out to the stage with a steel chair in hand. He points straight at Kevin Hurts in the ring who has a bored look on his face. Night Stalker smashes the chair once into the stage, the echo filling the arena. Still showing no fear, Hurts gives the ‘bring it on’ motion with his hands all while wearing a smile.
KK: It appears that Night Stalkers little scare tactic failed on Hurts.
TB: I don’t think it was a scare tactic. I think he’s showing Hurts and everyone else that he means business tonight.
RR: I have to agree with you there Trent.
Night Stalker begins his walk down the ramp as the fans give a mixed reaction of boos and cheers. The ref forces Hurts out of his chair so that Stalker can enter the ring. Still showing his cockiness, Hurts complies only after picking up his title sitting next to him. Stalker slides in the ring and shoves the chair Hurts was just sitting in to the side leaving the only chair able to be used in his hands.
RR: This already looks bad for Hurts here. The only chair in hand is in Stalker’s hands.
TB: Looks like Hurts may have bitten off more than he can chew.
Stalker charges and swings the chair at Hurts as the ref signals for the bell. Hurts rolls out of the way and quickly plants a swift kick to Night Stalkers gut forcing him to drop the chair as he doubles over. Hurts sets him up for the Freak Out but instead gets a back body drop for his troubles.
TB: Hurts went to finish the match a little too early and failed miserably.
Stalker picks up Hurts and tosses him into the corner. Rearing back, Stalker begins to land punch after punch into Hurts midsection and head. Grabbing one arm, Stalker pulls Hurts out of the corner and smashes him with a clothesline sending him to the mat. Stalker rolls outside and reaches under the ring and pulls out a table.
RR: Now tables are coming into the match. First we have chairs and now tables!
KK: It’s an X-treme Title match, Ron! It’s all legal!
Stalker picks the table up off the ground and holds it, ready to slide into the ring, when out of nowhere Hurts comes sailing over the top rope crashing into Stalker on the outside. Stalker, Hurts, and the table crash to the ground.
TB: Good Lord! Hurts just jumped clear over the top rope and smashed the table into the body of Night Stalker using his own body!
RR: This match could go either way right now! Whoever gets up first will have a good advantage.
Both men lay on the ground but movement is noticeable. Hurts uses the apron to pull himself up while Stalker uses the barricade. Once to his feet, Hurts walks over to Stalker and grabs him by his head and pulls him away from the barricade only to swing him around his body. He smashes Stalker face first into the barricade and he collapses onto the mat grabbing his forehead. Hurts stomps him a couple times and Stalker moves his hands revealing a gash on his forehead.
TB: Oh my God! Night Stalker is bleeding! This is getting out of hand!
KK: Anything goes Trent!
TB: Still doesn’t make it right.
Hurts rolls Stalker back into the ring and quickly follows. He goes for the pin…1-2-..Kick out! Hurts has a look of shock on his face.
RR: And a kick out by Night Stalker! He’s showing everyone why he deserves to be the next X-treme Champion!
KK: He still has to beat the undefeated to do it though.
Hurts unleashes a flurry of punches onto the opening on Stalkers forehead opening it more! Blood rolls down his face as well as appearing on Hurts’ fist. He stands up and walks over and grabs the chair he was sitting in earlier, still unfolded, and carries it over by Night Stalker. He picks up night Stalker and holds him ready for a DDT.
RR: Oh no! Don’t do that!
TB: I don’t think he can hear us Ron!
KK: Even if he could, I doubt he even cares.
Night Stalker unloads a few desperation shots to the gut of Hurts causing him to release his hold. In a fit of pure adrenaline, Stalker picks up Hurts and plants him with a hard spinebuster, the back of Hurts’ head bouncing off the seat of the unfolded chair.
TB: Did you see Hurts’ head bounce off the chair’s seat as he came crashing down?!
RR: Look at the seat! Its bent downwards from the force.
Stalker drapes an arm across the chest of Hurts and the ref drops down for the count. 1-2-Thr….Kick out!
RR: So close to having a new X-treme Champion!
TB: I think it was just a natural instinct! I doubt Hurts even knows that he’s the champion after that hellacious spinebuster.
KK: Whatever it was, it still means that the match continues!
TB: How? Both mean seemed wore out and I doubt our champion is even conscious.
RR: I beg to differ…
Both men begin to rise, Hurts holding the back of his head while Stalker wears a horrifying crimson mask. Both men exchange rights, neither gaining the advantage. Finally Stalker gains the upper hand and unloads punch after punch. He whips Hurts into the opposite ropes and as he returns catches him in the jaw with a dropkick sending Hurts hard to the mat.
RR: Stalker starting to gain momentum in this match. Can he hold onto it?
KK: I doubt it! Last time they fought, he had the advantage and he snatched defeat from the jaws a victory!
TB: How long have you been waiting to use that?
KK: I refuse to say…
Stalker picks Hurts up off the mat and whips him into ropes once more but follows him. Both men spill to the outside as Stalker clotheslines Hurts over the top rope using his weight. Stalker crawls over to the table still sitting outside and uses it to help him to his feet as Hurts lays out on the thin covering outside the ring.
TB: Better be careful they don’t bring the fight over here by us.
RR: It’s already been a dangerous match, the last thing we need is for them to get us involved.
Stalker slides the table into the ring and sets it up. He slides out of the ring to retrieve the X-treme Champion. As he reaches for him, Hurts sprays him in the face with a fire extinguisher. Stalker covers his eyes in pain as Hurts uses the apron once more to help him to his feet. Stalker begins to swing wildly hoping to hit Hurts but he receives a shot to the gut from the fire extinguisher canister courtesy of the X-treme Champion.
TB: A vicious shot to the torso of Night Stalker with that fire extinguisher!
RR: This is just a hellacious match! Both these men are fighting for the X-treme Title and it seems neither can accept defeat!
KK: Would you want to? Hurts wants to keep his title and Stalker wants a win over Hurts as well as the gold!
Hurts slides Stalker into the ring and follows him in. He reaches down to pick up stalker but gets a hard right to the gut followed by another and another. Stalker stands up and fires away with even more rights before launching Hurts to the corner. He grabs the table and sets it up by the corner that Hurts is in. He lifts the Champion up onto the top turnbuckle and climbs up top. he hooks the arm and readies him for a superplex.
RR: This is going to end badly, I can tell.
TB: I think we all knew that before the match started.
Hurts, suddenly coming back to his senses, begins to fight back once more. Stalker tries to pull him off the top turnbuckle but Hurts hooks his leg to the second one. After a few shots to his exposed ribs, Stalker lets go. Hurts catches him before he falls only to lock in the Pain Killer. Stalker, knowing what’s about to happen tries to fight out of but to no avail. Hurts jumps off the top rope with Night Stalker in tow…
TB: Good Lord! A Pain Killer off the top rope and they both crash through the table in the ring!
KK: It’s just like Hurts did to Diamond at Pride a few weeks back!
RR: Look at the table pieces everywhere!
The ref goes to check on both men, pulling table pieces off of them. A look of shock appears on his face! He heisitats for a moment before dropping to the mat…1-2-3!
TB: Oh my god! Someone had the other pinned and won the match!
RR: But who was it? I can’t see from here!
KK: Neither can I!
The ref leans between the second and top rope as the ring announcer walks over to ringside. He whispers something into the ring announcer’s ear and then pulls himself back into the ring.
Ring Announcer: Ladies and Gentlemen, the match has been declared a DRAW! Both men had each other covered for the three count!
RR: Holy Shit!
KK: What the hell?
TB: The match is…a draw? What does this mean for the X-treme Title?
Then, Sett walks out from the back, microphone in hand.
Sett: Gentlemen. It seems we have a problem. Two problems in fact. The first is that, well, according to the HWA Board Of Directors, my tenure as HWA President is looking like it might end soon. So I figure, what the hell, I'm gonna have some fun since i'm living on borrowed time. Whaddya reckon HWA!?
The HWA crowd give Sett their unanimous backing with a standing ovation.
Sett: Just as I thought. So this brings me to my second problem. Here we have two guys - Kevin Hurts, and Night Stalker. Both worthy of that title right there, but nothing can seem to seperate you guys, so here's what we're going to do. From now on and until further notice, you two can consider yourselves 'co-champions'.
Hurts, Stalker and just about everybody else in the entire arena falls quite, trying to work out what that might mean.
Sett: Thats right. You both can lay claim to 50% of that title. Either of you can defend your half, or you can defend as a tag team. Frankly I don't care either way. Now. Since Hurts, you have a match with this HWA president scheduled for Atmosphere, that leaves YOU - NightStalker, to defend your half of the title against Mark Crow, who won his shot earlier tonight. One thing's for sure, this is gonna bring us into some unique situations in the HWA! If the HWA Board Of Directors wanted controversy, well here it is!
And with that, Sett drops the mike and returns to the back. In the ring, Stalker and Hurts look at each other, and start to get to their feet, slowly, both looking each other in the eye. Suddenly, Hurts makes a lunge for the title, he grabs it, but is quickly jumped upon by NightStalker. Both men have a hand on it and they start trading blows once more as we go to an ad break.
When we return we are in Danny Starr's locker room. Ron Royalty is standing, holding a bottle of an energy drink. Danny is sitting down, head in hands.
RR: Danny, you don't have to do this. You just say the word and i'll go straight to Sett.
DS: No man, you don't understand. I've got to do this.
RR: You haven't. Nobody expects you to go out there and...
DS: My fans Ron, I owe it to them. I've only just won their respect and support back.
RR: Honestly man, they're on your side with this. I mean dude, your fiancee just... er..
DS: It's ok, you can say it Ron.
RR: Shit man... I'm sorry.
DS: Don't be. It's better to speak the truth, no?
RR: Yeah but. Sorry, that was somewhat insensitive.
DS: Look, you don't need to look out for me, i'll be fine, just let me get out there.
RR: Drink some of this energy drink man, it'll keep you going. I mean, last week you looked a fraction of yourself against Hurts.
Danny takes the drink off Ron.
DS: Thanks. I'll be fine. Just get your English ass out to that announce table and call my damned match! I'll be fine!
RR: Ok man, you got it! Good luck!
Danny give Ron a faint smile and a nod as Ron leaves to return to the announce position. Ron still looks unconvinced.
RR: No Matthew Hydrox this week with Tyler.
TB: I guess he is preparing for his big match with Danny Starr.
KK: Plus, well, without being offensive towards this Brint Halligan guy - he's not exactly a main eventer is he.
RR: Not yet, but you never know. The kid would certainly be boosted up the card by winning against such an opponent as Tyler. Stranger things have happened.
Some rousing athletic style music hits and four men appear at the top of the ramp, all dressed in different coloured basketball jersey's and shorts.
KK: Who the hell are these? Not the spirit squad here in the HWA, SURELY?!
TB: No, no, these are the Power Posse! Brint Halligan's group!
The leader, a man dressed in red leads the group down to the ring. He jumps over the top rope and enters the ring. The other three stay around at ringside.
Zack Tyler prepares to begin, when one of the Power Posse trips him from behind. This allows the leader, Brint Halligan to drop an elbow onto the back of Tyler's neck. Tyler covers his neck, but is pulled out of the ring by two of the power posse. They hold him at ringside, then Brint Halligan dives over the top rope, and hits Tyler with a crossbody, sending both men tumbling onto the mat.
KK: This is simply not fair. The Power Posse are playing the numbers game here, and it's not right.
RR: True, but have you seen who the referee is for this match?
KK: Oh God.
RR: Yup, Giles Jacobs.
TB: I guess things ARE fair after all!
RR: Giles is definitely working for the HWA Board Of Directors. We found this out last week. Perhaps the Power Posse haven't yet worked out that its not really a good idea to go up against the Directors!
KK: They're not, they're up against The VoiD.
RR: Yes, but the VoiD, for whatever reason, were brought back BY the HWA Board Of Directors.
Giles Jacobs, as if having heard his name, sends the rest of the power posse to the back, in an attempt to keep the match 1 on 1. Begrudgingly, they do. Brint Halligan starts to protest to Jacobs, but Tyler catches him from behind with the Kaos Revenge (Beast Choker). He locks the hold on. Hallgian starts to go red in the face. He tries to claw his way to the ropes, but the hold is on too tight. In a desperate last ditch attempt, he reaches the ropes. Surprisingly, Jacobs calls for a rope break. Tyler gives a clean break. Halligan is hanging over the second rope. Tyler lands a drop kick on him and he falls to the floor.
TB: Tyler has now firmly got the upper hand here.
KK: Yup. Giles Jacobs turned the tide, sending away the power posse.
Tyler picks up Brint next, and hits a gut wrench powerbomb, right onto the steel guard rail at ringside. This move just about chops Halligan in half. The crowd start a "Holy Shit!" chant.
TB: Holy Shit is RIGHT! That move could've broken Halligan's back!
RR: We don't know that it didn't yet!
Not waiting to find out, Tyler rolls Halligan back into the ring. Once inside, Tyler hits his finisher - The RadiKaLLision (FrontSide Vertebraker). He makes the cover and Giles Jacobs counts 1-2-3!
TB: Tyler wins his first match back!
KK: He starts his return with a marked victory!
Zack begins to raise in his hands and smile when from behind through the crowd KEVIN CONNER with a steel chair and chops blocks Tyler. Conner then beings to stomp on both of Zack's knees!
KK: CONNER IS BACK and he has a chair!
Conner then mounts Zack and beings to bunch him in his head but Zack pokes him in his eye and Conner gets off holding his eye Zack gets up limping and throws a punch towards Conner, he ducks and dropkicks Zack to his knees, sending him down on his knees in pain. He then grabs the chair and smacks him right on the head with it. Conner then brutally begins to beat down Zacks legs with the steel chair!
TB: SOMEONE NEEDS TO STOP THIS.
KK: A welcome back party, NGW style!
Medics and HWA personel come running down to the ring. They try to get in but Conner stares them off. Conner goes outside and grabs the top half of the steal steps and throws them in the ring. He kicks Zack in the face for good measure.
TB: What is this sadistic man doing!
Zack is leaning up grabbing his legs Conner tosses the chair at his face. Zack lets go of his legs and grabs the chair and Conner kicks the chair in his face knocking him half way unccounious.
KK: A drop kick to the chair to the face of Zack, I don't think Zack was ready for this!
He then puts his leg over the steal steps. Raises the chair and smashes his knee. The fans booing and throwing trash at the ring. A stretchers comes down and Conner goes towards the announce table and smiles. He then grabs a microphone and he pulls the table out!
TB: What are you doing get away!
KC: Shut up Trent! I almost ended your career, don't think I wont end it completely!
The medical staff gets in the ring and puts Zack on a flat board and then onto a stretcher. As Conner says this.
KC: I was gone almost two weeks! I bet I was truly missed. And I thought to myself. what can I do to make an explosive come back! And I heard what Zack Tyler was saying this week. And well Zack, I accept your Triple Cage Match. It's going to be hard to climb that cage with no legs.
Conenr goes outside and puts the mic in his back pocket. He then fights off the medical staff and rolls Zack back around the announcers table. He puts him vertical to it.
KC: You see Zack, your half awake. I want to ask you a question! Do you know what you are getting yourself in to? Let me answer for you, you have no idea!
Conner then flips the stretcher over Conner then takes the flat board with Zack strapped to it and puts his feet leaning up on the apron and his head laying on the ground. He then grabs another chair and smashes his legs not once, not twice but three times. he then picks up Tyler on the board and puts him on the announcetable that was pulled out. He looks at the ring and pulls out the table a little more. The medical staff surrounds Zack laying on the flat board on the table.
KC: Atmosphere will end your little half assed return.
Conner drosp the mick runs to the other side and bounces off the ropes and does a flip dive. The medical staff split in two as Conner flies over the rope with a flip dive landing right on Tyler and breaking the table. Tyler is laying upside down on the flat board his face pressed against the ground. Conner gets up and holds his back and smiles. Conner talks his trash and then steps on the flat board over Zack and looks the medical staff and tells them to check on Zack. Conner walks to the back getting booed louder then maybe he ever has before.
TB: Well, losing to Hurts as fast as he did last week just goes to show our HWA World Champion is not even close to being 100% since the other week.
Danny Starr and Hydrox tie up in the center of the ring, and MH pushes DS into the corner, DS using his hand to push Hydrox’s face back…
KK: And the match is underway…
The referee separates the two who are stuck in the corner, and Hydrox runs at Starr, ‘The Sensation’ jumps out of the way and Hydrox hit’s the turnbuckle… backing off from the impact, Danny Starr catches one half of the Void with a vicious clothesline, sending himself to the ground as well.
KK: He almost took his head off with that one!
TB: Danny isn’t looking too bad tonight!
RR: Hydrox literally felt that one…
Danny Starr climbs to his feet and walks over to the turnbuckle, putting his arm on the top, leaning as if out of breath.
RR: What is he doing?
KK: Looks like he’s completely winded…
Hydrox climbs back to his feet and sees Danny Starr in the corner looking away… he takes advantage and rolls DS up with a school boy, 1..2... Danny rolls backwards escaping the pin attempt.
TB: That would have been an embarrassing way to lose the match for Danny Starr.
As Danny Starr tries to climb to his feet, Hydrox nails Danny with a drop kick in the face, sending Starr back onto the canvus. Danny rolls to his stomach and lays there idle staring down at the mat…
TB: You can tell he’s trying, but he’s still not all there…
RR: It’s such a shame…
Hydrox begins kicking at Danny Starr on the ground, defenseless… the referee tries to separate Hydrox, but he pushes the referee out of the way, which ultimately causes the ref to hit his head on the ground, knocking him out.
TB: Why the hell did he push the referee!?
RR: I don’t think he meant to knock him out!
Just then, Hydrox yells ‘Fall into the Void!” to Danny Starr on the ground… before climing out of the ring and grabbing a steel chair.
TB: Oh, come on… this is not necessary… Hydrox is going over the line here!
RR: Somebody stop him!
Hydrox slides in the ring and nails DS in the back with the chair… once, twice… and a third time…
RR: This is bullshit…
Ron Royalty rips off his head phones and jumps into the ring, ripping the chair out of Mathew Hydrox’s hand just as security from the back rushes the ring to stop this assault on a defenseless World Champion.
TB: Royalty intervenes!
Sett walks out from the back as well with a microphone in hand as Hydrox is cornered by the HWA security members.
KK: What the hell! What is going on!
Royalty leans down to check on Danny Starr who is beginning to move around a little bit as Sett begins talking.
Sett: Okay, listen… Danny… this is the second week now, you are in no mind-state to be doing this. You are going to end up getting hurt if you keep trying to compete for our sake… we will be fine for now. You’re a friend Danny, a friend who should be mourning the loss of Jenn… Ron Royalty, a friend of yours, has made it very clear to me as well as your matches the last week that you are in no shape, or form to be wrestling right now… so I have no choice, Danny… to suspend you WITH pay indefinetly. You need time to get your mind straight again… as for Hydrox, you should be ashamed of yourself.
TB: Whoa! Danny Starr has been suspended!
KK: What about the championship?
TB: I have no idea!
KK: I don’t think the title matters, there is no contender this month anyway… Danny Starr will most likely be back in time to face either Kevin Conner or Zack Tyler at the next pay per view…
TB: MY GOD folks! Total Chaos!
In the backstage area, Danny Starr is walking with Ron Royalty back to his locker-room to gather his belongings for his ‘vacation’. His belt is hanging over his shoulder.
Ron Royalty: Listen, if you need anything… like I said before, give me a call…
Just then Michael Diamond walks up behind both DS and RR, getting their attention.
Michael Diamond: Danny, what is going on… you got suspended?
Danny Starr: Yeah, just for a little while… but listen, Michael… I want you to hold on to my title… take my place as World Champion for now… HWA needs someone to lead them against the Void and NGW.
Michael Diamond: What? Me? I can’t…
Danny Starr: For me, Michael…
Danny Starr hands the belt to Michael, and Diamond accepts it slowly…
Michael Diamond: Look, I don’t think I can handle the responsibility of obtaining it, Danny…
Danny Starr: You will… you were HWA’s greatest World Champion… with honor and pride. Do it for the Foundation of Sensation… do it for the HWA…
Michael Diamond: I’ll do it for you…
Michael looks down at the title belt…
Michael Diamond: I won’t let you down…
Danny Starr places his hand on Michael’s shoulder…
Danny Starr: You’re a great friend, Michael… I’ll see you soon.
Danny Starr walks into his locker-room, out of sight, as Royalty and Diamond both look at each other, both concerned for their friend.
As the show goes off the air, the promo for HWA Atmosphere flashes up onto the screen...
