Episode 122 - May 21, 2007
After almost four years, the time had finally come... the final episode of BWF Havok. The Night of Champions. Every belt (sans the vacant World Title) on the line one last time. Who would leave Milwaukee, Wisconsin with the belts?
The night kicked off with a shocker, as the world was introduced to the duo of "Ambrosia" Emma Rhone and "Tremor" Eddie Sands... the duo who purchased the BWF from Blazenwing and Corlen! They announced that Sunday at Tainted Twilight, 12 men would get the chance for immortality as the final BWF Champion. The list - Raizzor, Sirus Moran, Gabe Shelley, Toco, X, Alex Wilkie, Casey Campbell, Shane Hall, "Firestorm" Randy Stevens, Saigon, Jester the Clown, Rob Torborg, many of whom are former World Champions - got the crowd pumped. The night would be a tournament of champions, with the winner of the tournament facing Money in the Bank holder Toco for the belt in the main event of the show.
The two had little to say at the current time regarding BWF's future, however, except that Sunday, the "master plan" for the continued success of the BWF would be revealed once and for all. "Have no fear," Tremor said. "The BWF you know and love might be disappearing once and for all... but it's spirit will live on, and so will it's legacy. But the future... looks PWN'ed."
Back from commercial for our first title match of the night, as a steel cage lowers from the ceiling and we're joined by Saigon and Primetime Champion Jester the Clown. Jester made this match a steel cage, no escape match, as his right as Primetime Champion allows. The two fought hard for the right to leave with the Primetime Title, even seeing Saigon attempt a spear at one point, only for Jester to move out of the way, sending Saigon crashing through the cage wall and to the outside! Jester rolled out of the ring to try and pin Saigon, bloodied from the crash into the cage, but the referee ruled that any pinfall had to be made in the ring. Jester called his manager Mr. J to help him pick Saigon up and roll him back into the ring. The two got Saigon back into the ring and Jester went for the pin again, but Saigon had had enough time to recover to counter into a roll-up small package and shock Jester with the three count! Saigon is the new Primetime Champ!
WINNER AND NEW PRIMETIME CHAMPION: Saigon, via Pinfall
Backstage, Havok came back from a commercial break with long-time BWF interviewer Don McMichael.
Don: Welcome back to Havok, ladies and gentlemen, With me right now is "Grade A" Alex Wilkie, one of the many contestants in Tainted Twilight's BWF Championship Tournament...
The camera pulled back to reveal Alex Wilkie standing next to Don.
Don: Alex, Thank you for joining me, Tell me, Going into this Sunday's Pay-per-view, what are your thoughts about this tournament?
Alex thought about it for a second and then took in a deep breath.
Alex: My thoughts are this. Finally... BWF can stop focusing all their attention on such washed-up superstars like Cody Clark and The Legend, and they can start focusing on rising stars... such names as... Jester the Clown.
Alex snorted at this little comment.
Alex: No, actually, my thoughts on this whole tournament is that to me, its just another night of fighting. To me, titles... don't mean anything anymore. Hell, my first two matches in BWF were in a BWF Title Tournament... and then months later, I won the Tag Team titles... only to lose them. Then, I challenged for the U.S. Title... many many times, only to not get what I deserve and fail horribly... then, in one shining moment... I grasped... the PWA World Title... then... once again, I lost it... and I disappeared from the wrestling world. I returned again, and almost two years later, the same shit happened, I challenged for the Tag Team titles... only to have my partner, whom I will not name... fail.
Alex took a breath and then took the microphone from Don.
Alex: And yet... everything is coming full circle. The Last Pay-per-view for BWF... my Last Pay-Per-View for BWF... and I'm in a tournament... to see who will become the last BWF Champion. Ever.
Alex grinned.
Alex: Well, let me tell you something... yes. I'm in the tournament... but you know what, I'm not in it for the gold. The belt. I'm in it for the fight, and if I don't win, whatever, I'll find another World Champion to take out, and if I do win... heh... well, I guess I'll just have to watch my back. And if anyone has something to say about that...
Alex looked at Don, and then back to the camera.
Alex: Then you can take it up with my foot... in your ass.
Alex walked off screen, dropping the microphone on the ground as the camera returned to the ring for more title action - this time, the BWF Tag Team Titles, as an odd combo of James Reilly and newcomer Shane Hall defended AMH's Tag titles against The Kindred, Chamelion and Sirus Moran. The match was a quick one, as Reilly and Hall were little match for veterans Chamelion and Sirus. The Kindred quickly dominated their foes and Chamelion earned the win with a well-timed Sweet Sound of Success (Superkick) to Hall, making The Kindred the BWF Tag Team Champions, and marking Chamelion's fourth time as BWF Tag Team Champ, following one reign with Wacko Marko and two with his brother Raizzor.
WINNERS AND NEW TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS: The Kindred, via Pinfall
Before Cham could celebrate, though, Kajun made his way over the barricade and into the ring, blindsiding the new Tag Champ! Sirus attempted to go for Kajun to protect his partner, but Kajun wisely rolled out of the ring, smirking as Chamelion remained laid out on the mat.
Backstage, US Champ Gabe Shelley gets ready for his upcoming title defense. As he finished putting his boots on in his locker room, he looks up to see Alli Taylor. She says that she was able to get the backstage hands to let her in for a few minutes. She hands him a piece of paper and he looks down at it. "PGW" is written on it. He looks back at her and she tells him that it's everything that is what makes Gabe Shelley. It's the will to do anything and everything to make it to the top. To show the fans a great time. It's Pure. In fact, it's Pure Glory Wrestling, and it's her new federation. She said that after Gabe gave her the loan, she went out and rented an arena for a while and already has a few people signed. She wants Shelley there. He says he will think about it but right now, he has a title match to win. Before he can leave, she grabs his arm and kisses his cheek. She tells him, "Thanks for helping me find my heart again."
The eyes of the BWF fans then collectively turned to the ring for the final main event in Havok history, as now-former BWF Tag Team Champion Katie Starr went up against Gabe Shelley for the United States Championship. The two fought tooth and nail, and both members got several near falls, but in the end, Starr made a mistake and it cost her the win. She tried to get her Blow Pop (Lungblower Backbreaker) off, but Gabe was close enough to the ropes to grab them, sending Katie to the mat with nothing. Gabe then turned as Starr got to her feet, kicked her in the gut, and hit his Junkyard Jam (Pedigree) to get the win.
WINNER AND STILL UNITED STATES CHAMPION: Gabe Shelley, via Pinfall
Red, white and blue confetti rained from the sky as Gabe held the U.S. title high after the match. A dejected Katie Starr started to leave up the ramp, but Gabe called for a mic as his music died. He called Katie back to the ring, and when she came back, he told her how it was a damn close match, and it could have gone either way, and that he was proud to share the final Havok main event with her. She started to leave again, but Gabe grabbed her arm, said "Katie... I need to tell you... I love you." Katie turned, wide-eyed, right into a kiss from the U.S. Champ! The crowd waited in silence as the embrace ended. Gabe smiled at Katie... who slowly backed away before rolling out of the ring. Gabe called out to her, but she quickly headed up the ramp, seemingly embarrassed, and back behind the curtain. All Gabe could do was watch and wonder what went wrong as the camera faded to the BWF logo, then to black.
