The HPW introduction plays and quickly shatters into the image of Doug Solomon standing inside the Headline Pro Wrestling studio. Doug is smartly dressed and warmly welcomes us to another edition of his show. Doug thanks the viewers at home for using their hard earned money to buy HPW’s birthday pay-per-view and guides us through some of the results. Several images are shown with Doug’s voice over: Morlo destroying Trent Malik and Micheal Bloodman, Rip Thomas defeating Andrew McWilliam, John Slider hitting Julian Bosley with his cast, Illy Mustafa being pinned by Kenny Dior but then piledriving him on to the steel ramp, and finally Jimmy and Old Man Duxen clotheslining Harrison Hughes over the top rope.
“It was a very memorable night but the action did not stop there folks. After the bell Illy Mustafa was confronted by his protégé (Otis Jones) regarding his actions. It seems as though Otis has lost all respect for his mentor now that Mustafa’s true colours have been revealed by Dior. Mustafa tried to defend himself by reminding Otis what Kenny did to him but his defence went ignored. Although Mustafa was the last man standing he still lost the match and the respect from both his protégé, and his fans. Otis was so sick and tired of Mustafa’s excuses that he challenged his mentor to a match tonight that will be an empty arena match. We will bring you that later on tonight but first I want to show you want happened when we tried to get an update on Kenny Dior from the NYC hospital. Let’s take a look.”
|NYC Hospital|
Doug Solomon and his camera crew shuffle down the corridor until they arrive at the ward Kenny Dior is in. Solomon motions for his men to pause and to begin recording whilst at the closed door.
“Ladies and gentleman I am here at the NYC hospital where Kenny Dior is being held after Illy Mustafa drove his neck into the steel ramp a few days ago with a cradle piledriver. Illy punished Dior’s neck badly in that match but Dior showed his resilience by refusing to be broken and gained the victory. Illy was clearly humiliated and followed up with a vicious attack by knocking Dior out with his patented final sequence manoeuvre. Members of staff were successful in pulling Mustafa off and Dior refused to give Illy the satisfaction of being taken out on a stretcher and forced his way back up the ramp on his feet with some help. As it turns out Illy was not done, he was lying in wait like a calculated predator ready to snap up his prey. As Dior approached the curtain he was blasted in the face and then once again with his own title belt, Illy then delivered the finishing blow. Let’s get an update from Kenny Dior himself.”
Doug slowly opens the door and peers through. He looks over his shoulder and motions for his camera men to follow him.
“Ken-“
“Get out of here, no media. Mr. Dior isn’t ready to discuss his situation.”
Doug tries to negotiate with the suited man but he is clearly in no mood to listen. He forces Doug out of the room and closes the door shut.
“Well I guess this was a big waste of time. Sorry guys. I guess you can make your own conclusions from that…”

As we return Doug tells us that he hopes to gain some answers about the world champion’s condition next week.
“Although we are all sad to see what happened to Kenny Dior it was not all sad in HPW this week. We all watched HPW 6 when Julian Bosley was just moments away from finishing John Slider off when Slider used his cast as a weapon illegally to strike Bosley in that head. To hide his use of underhanded tactics Slider used the KTFO to steal the victory away from Bosley once again. But when they fought at a recent HPW live event earlier this week Bosley refused to be a victim. Take a look.”
|Earlier this week|
Bosley is slowly making his way to his feet whilst Slider is stalking him. Bosley turns. Slider goes for the KTFO. NO! Bosley throws Slider off. Slider tries to counter by wildly swinging the cast at Bosley’s head but Bosley side steps him and catches him with a hard slam. Bosley mounts Slider and begins to fire away with hard rights with his taped fists until the referee calls for the break.
Bosley irish whips Slider into the ropes and catches him with a military press but before he can take advantage of the situation Slider wails him with the cast causing Bosley to drop him. Bosley is momentarily stunned but as Slider tries to capitalize he gets a big boot to the face. The shot only seemed to anger The Xcon. Bosley picks Slider up and throws him into the corner. He charges at Slider like a runaway train and nails a big avalanche in the corner with the velocity knocking all the wind out of Slider. He grabs Slider and goes for the F5 but Slider escapes once again. Slider goes for the KTFO out of desperation but Bosley stops him with his brute strength. Slider dangles helplessly on Bosley and then is thrown on to Bosley’s shoulders allowing him to deliver the F5 for the victory. The fans cheer loudly as The Xcon finally gets his revenge on John Slider.

“I would like to congratulate Julian Bosley on finally getting his revenge on John Slider who as you all know has pulled similar stunts on me also. I would also like to apologize to him on behalf of HPW for ever doubting his innocence. We hope Julian all the best in his career from here on out now that he can finally put this business behind him, which brings me of course to the world championship.”
I clip plays of Micheal Bloodman and Trent Malik putting it all on the line to win their chance at the belt until Morlo interrupts the match.
“Trent Malik and Micheal Bloodman brutally beat each other up with everything around ringside in hopes that the winner would move on to face the winner of Kenny Dior and Illy Mustafa, unfortunately the returning psychopath stopped that. This means that right now Kenny Dior does not have a challenger for his world title. With the condition of Kenny Dior being unclear and the lack of a number one contender at the moment I can promise you that there will be a major announcement next week regarding the world championship situation. Until then I will leave you with Otis Jones and Illy Mustafa match live in an empty arena right now. Goodnight!”
|Ringside|
Both Illy and Otis are in the ring with the only other people being in the arena being the referee and the camera crew. Illy arrogantly tells Otis not to do this because he is making a big mistake but Otis responds by calling him a piece of crap. George Redwood tells both men to back up into their corners so the match can begin but as Otis turns his back Illy jumps him from behind. He nails Otis with some clubbing blows to the back and then sets him up in the corner with a nasty elbow to the jaw. Illy backs away and charges at Otis but Otis counters by backdropping Mustafa over the ropes and out to ringside.
Mustafa gets to his feet but as he does he is met with an air born Otis Jones who lands on him hard with a plancha. Otis pounds away on his former mentor with each shot showing how much respect he has lost for him. Otis picks Illy up and throws him over the guard rail into some empty seats. He follows him over to try and beat some sense back into Illy but Illy goes for the eyes. Mustafa kicks away some empty seats and then sets Otis up for a vertical suplex on to the concrete floor. He lifts but Otis fights out using the knowledge he has picked up to reverse the move and deliver it to Mustafa instead. Illy lands hard on to several seats. Otis has no sympathy for his mentor after his actions and doesn’t hesitate to put the boots to him.
Otis lifts him up and delivers some hard forearms and kicks that he has become known for in his wars with people like Agramon. Otis grabs Illy by the head and sends him into the guard rail. He follows up quickly with a running kick to the face. The crushing impact almost causes Illy’s head to explode as it gets jammed between Otis’ boot and the steel railing. Otis kicks away at the left shoulder of Illy. He lifts him back to his feet and rings his arm. He keeps a hold of Illy’s arm and then arm drags him so he lands on more empty seats, causing them to scatter in different directions like pigeons. He continues to work on the arm for several minutes, softening him up for the crossface chicken wing until Mustafa hits a low blow out of desperation.
Illy tries to escape, weaving his way through the empty arena and working his way towards the exit. Otis slowly recovers and forces himself to follow Illy through the exit to the backstage area. Illy sees his protégé and catches him as he walks through the door like he did to Dior. Illy grabs Otis and sends him head first into a vending machine causing a big dent and several coins to fall out. He grabs Otis and tries to set him up with the same piledriver he destroyed Dior with, thinking that if Otis isn’t with him then he’s against him. He attempts to lift Otis but instead gets backdropped on to the hard concrete. Illy sits up from the excruciating pain allowing Jones to kick him several times in the spine. Jones forces Mustafa to his feet as they further work their way around the backstage area. Jones throws Mustafa on top of a table that collapses from underneath his weight then grabs a nearby plastic bin. Mustafa gets to his feet but gets smashed in the skull with the bin.
Otis grabs Illy and locks in the crossface chicken wing. Illy screams out in pain realizing that there are no ropes to break the hold. The referee asks Illy if he wants to quit but instead Mustafa suddenly drops causing Otis to hit his head on to a concrete wall. Otis looks almost out as his eyes quickly glaze over from the hard thud. Illy sees and opportunity and sets up the collapsed table so it is angled against the wall. He nails Otis with a quick kick to the face and then sets him up once more.
CRASH!
Illy powerbombs Otis through the table on to the concrete. He lifts Otis up slightly so that he is sitting up enough for Illy to connect with a final superkick, knocking his former protégé clean out. Illy makes the cover and gets the three count after taking advantage of his former protégé’s one mistake. Illy stands smugly over Otis’ body and makes George Redwood raise his hand in victory for the people watching at home.
“This is your final lesson Otis. I taught you everything you know, but I didn’t teach you everything I know. I know you’re a gutsy guy and will no doubt show up next week but before you do I want you to go and re-watch what I did to Kenny Dior when he wouldn’t stay out of my business. Don’t disappoint me.”
Illy walks away clutching his arm with a big satisfied grin on his face as the show goes off the air.
