HWF/CSWA Wrestling Newsletter 2013 02.09 –  PPV fallout

Hello fans.  Well, there was a bit of fallout but not as much as we had planned.  We have received some information that we wanted to pass along.  Following the Warzone PPV, it was decided by both Jeff Meyers and Master Bull (Wayne Tuttle was not available – again) that PPV’s would be pushed out by a month starting with Wrestlemania in April.  Wrestlemania will be a 2 day show.  This will allow more matches to take place and not necessarily have a performer have to wrestle more than 2x in a single night.  This move will allow there to be a PPV in December and will give feuds a starting point at the beginning of each year. 

HWF’s own roving reporter had an interview with Master Bull.  Here is how it went:

Larry: “Master Bull.   Thank you for taking time out of your day for this interview.”
MB: “Of course Larry.  My time is valuable but I can make time for this.”
L: “You and CSWA GM Jeff Meyers had a conversation.  Do you care to comment on it?”
MB: “Yes, GM Meyers and I have discussed the possibility of my being involved in both brands.  Mr. Tuttle has temporarily nixed that but negotiations are being worked on.”
L: “We received feedback from one of our readers asking why you cancelled two matches at the PPV.”
MB: “First of all, there were two battle royals that were inserted into the PPV and since those were more time consuming, I made that choice.  Also, I am running the show so if I choose to cancel a match, it is my discretion to do what I feel like doing.  Third, all the performers did approach me. Angle won a tournament and when I told him he didn’t have to wrestle again, he was relieved and walked away.  HHH and Jericho will happen at the next show.  Daniel Bryan was the only person who really had an issue.  When I told him that he got paid for participating in the battle royal, his tune changed and he walked away.  So you see, most of the wrestlers didn’t have an issue with it after all.”
L: “But some of the fans feel cheated.”
MB: “I make the rules.  I enforce the rules.  It’s that simple.  With that said, I need to run.”
L: “Master Bull, thank you for your time.”
MB: “You are welcome.”

Additional information that we’ve received is that going forward, all tag team matches will have 60 minute time limits to hopefully avoid more time-limit draws.  

Also, it was determined that at every PPV, there will be an invitational battle royal with the winner getting a title shot of his choice.  The winner must “cash in” within 2 months or they lose their shot.  HWF will have one and then CSWA will be the following month..

“The Elitist” Reid Rothchild came out to challenge Yoshi Tatsu for his shot for the Western States Heritage title.  Tatsu wasn’t going to give up his opportunity so easily so he asked for this to be a specialty match.  Reid was not happy about this as he felt he shouldn’t be damaging his good looks.  Finally he relented.  It took a full 30 minutes but Reid got the win after a Rock Bottom.  This was an Indian Strap match and Tatsu was not in good shape at the end of the match.  After the bell rang, Rothchild continued his beating on Tatsu until Donnie B came down and chased Reid from the ring. 

Cactus Jack and the Mighty Casey were set down and tried to figure out what was going on between these two.  Cactus blew off the interview stating that the Media Champion didn’t have time for this.  He left abruptly before anything could start but he left his barbwire bat behind.  Casey helped himself to it.

Super Warrior issued a challenge to Nigel McGuinness for his title shot.  Nigel accepted but only if it was

There were a few matches that took place. 

RVD defends his title against Tommy Dreamer.  RVD picked up the win after a 25 minute fight was ended with a  5 Star Frog Splash.

-          Christian defends his title against Roderick Strong.  Christian retained after Strong was counted out of the ring.

-          John Cena defended his Western States title against Santino.  It only took 16 minutes and an F-U later for Cena to remain the champ.

-          Daniel Bryan retained his title against Kofi after Kingston submitted to the powerful MMA strikes.

-          Super Warrior challenged Nigel McGuinness for his spot.  The stipulation was that this would take place using Boot Camp rules.  SW got the cheap, quick win after ambushing Nigel and got the (cheating) rollup.
-          Nigel McGuinness immediately challenged Chavo Guerrero for his spot.  After 3 minutes and a severe beating, Chavo gets counted out.  Nigel takes that spot.

-          MW3 challenged Magnus for his spot.  Magnus retained after Mike “The Axe” Medley interfered causing a distraction and Magnus capitalized on it.

-          Mike “the Axe” Medley challenged Kazarian for his spot.  Kaz retained after MW3 held down the Axe’s foot when he was getting pinned.

-          Big E. Langston put his title on the line for the first time against Matt Morgan.  After 10 minutes, Langston retained the title. 

-          Negronomicon and Billy Pearl vs the USO’s one last time.  This time, there would be no time limit. This time, it only took 4 minutes and Negronomicon and Billy Pearl finally get a win. The USO’s move down in the rankings.

-          Reigns and Rollins challenged the Prime Time Players for their shot.  The Shield robs the Prime Time Players of their title match.

-          The Prime Time players immediately challenged Rothchild and Medley.   Medley controlled a good portion of the match and Reid kept tagging himself in trying to hog the glory.  Reid delivered a ReidBottom and then Medley tagged himself in and nailed a devastating uppercut to Titus.  He made the cover and got the win for his team.  Reid was not happy but Axe was grinning from ear to ear.

-          Rey Mysterio challenged Jinder mahal for his spot but Mahal wasn’t going to give up lightly.  He called for and was granted a gauntlet match.  Mysterio would have to go through all members of  3MB in order to get the spot.  First up was Drew McIntyre.  First down was McIntyre.  It all ended fairly quick with the 6-1-9.  Slater was up next and promptly fell victim to a hurricanranna. Mahal was sweating.  Before the bell could ring, all 3 attacked Mysterio and when Mahal called for the bell, he immediately pinned Rey retaining his spot.  Rey looks to be injured.  We’ll need to keep an eye on his situation.

-          Both Sting and Hogan were arguing who would be next for Angle’s title.  Kurt came in and made a suggestion – how about a best of 7?  Sting was receptive of the idea but Hogan was leery.  As soon as Sting questioned Hogan’s ability to wrestle anymore, the Hulkster jumped on the bandwagon. 

This is all we have for now.  More to come.
