NAWA Glory 3/9/06

Tonight: AJ Styles and the Gambler team up to face the NAWA International Champion Christian Cage and the NAWA World Champion Miles Stylish in tonight's feature bout and much more.

We see Larry Sweeney in the ring, with a table with a cloth over it and two chairs in hand. Sweeney gets on the microphone, talking about how over the past couple of months, he has been negoiating with one of the top competitors in this company Harry Harris and talks between both sides have been intense, but Sweeney has a contract, all Harry Harris has to do is sign on the dotted line. The crowd boos, thinking that Harry Harris has sold out to Larry Sweeney. "Danger Zone" by Kenny Loggins plays and out comes Harry Harris, wearing black sweat pants, a leather jacket and a black tank top as he walks down to the ring. Harris slides into the ring as Sweeney talks about the contract, saying that it's for a multi million dollar deal, with twelve weeks of vacation time a year, and medical insurance in case of injuries.

Harris looks at Sweeney, remarking that Sweeney has been agressive to try and get Harris to sign with him. He's been calling him night and day, ever since last Summer, when Harry Harris was in rehab but Harris refused to confirm or deny anything. He says that Sweeney is an impressive man with a lot of contacts and gets things done. Sweeney has the resources to get Harris anything he wants, including a victory at Reality Check in the Triple Threat Match for the NAWA World Title. Sweeney nods as Harris looks over the contract, flipping it over. Harris asks Sweeney, all he has to is sign on the dotted line and he'll be a millionaire within years. Sweeney nods, saying ask Tony Mamaluke, ask Ron Killings, ask CM Punk with his cushy deal with "Uncle Vince" up North, what Larry Sweeney can do for you. Harris looks over the contract and turns to the crowd. He says there's only one thing he needs to do. HARRIS WALLOPS SWEENEY RIGHT IN THE FACE WITH THE CLIPBOARD, DRAWING A MASSIVE POP!

The crowd explodes into cheers as Harris continues to beat on Sweeney with punches, before setting him up and teases a suplex through a table but here comes Mamaluke, Killings, Morishima, and Abyss. The calvary has arrived and Harry Harris leaves, though the crowd who is cheering. Larry Sweeney is bleeding from the mouth and yells that Harris just made the biggest mistake in the career. Harris yells that Sweeney assumed that he agreed, but he would never agree to such a dubious contract that locked him what was slave labor to push Sweeney's agenda. Sweeney yells Harris would get paid for it but now he's going to be the one who is going to pay. Against Ron Killings tonight! The crowd pops as Sweeney is going ballastic, saying that Harris threw his career away and he'll never be a champion again as long as Larry Sweeney is NAWA Commissioner.
