HWF/CSWA Wrestling Newsletter 2013 12.6 – Starcade Week – Day 1


The show begins with pyro going off.  The camera pans to the audience where we see Superfan Derek at ringside with his collection of signs.  Today, he brought with him an interesting assortment that included: “AJ Styles is the bomb-diggidy”, “I’m one of Christian’s Peeps” and “Casey Jones vs Mick Foley = End of Days”.  Superfan Announcers Marvelous Marc and Bodacious Brian (he changed his name) made their way to ringside and shook hands with most of the fans.  They stopped by Derek and gave high 5’s before taking their station. 

Brian: Hello fans and welcome to Starcade Week.  We are coming to you LIVE from Humble, Tx, the original home of the HWF.  We have a great line up for you.
Marc:  You got that right.  Today is just the beginning. Lots of title matches as well as a qualifier between Prestige Inc and the Shield.  One of those teams will be going on to Colorado Springs for a shot at the 6 man titles.
Brian:  That’s right Buddy.  Tons of great action.  The Shield actually lost in their last quest for the 6 man belts after only 2 minutes.  I think they’ll need to have their act together if they really want to move on.
Marc: But you gotta remember that Prestige Inc will want this just as bad so I expect them to pull out all the stops.
Brian: As we start to get this show underway, we expect the mandatory appearance from our GM Master Bull.
Marc: Speak of the devil (not actually the devil, you know…just a figure of speech), here he comes now.

Master Bull makes his way to the top of the stage.  “Welcome one and all to our PPV Starcade.  Over the next 3 shows, we will bring you all the top action within the HWF and CSWA.  I also wanted to make an announcement that pertains to all title holders within the HWF and CSWA.  If a champion loses his or her belt during this week, there will be NO rematches.  I will be elaborating further at end of this week when I address changes that will be taking place in 2014.  Now, with all that jibber-jabber out of the way, let’s get this action underway!”  Pyro goes off.

Marc: That was a pretty big announcement Master Bull just made.
Brian:  You bet buddy.  And I have a feeling that there will be more coming before the end of Starcade week.
Marc: Do you know something I don’t?
Brian:  It’s possible but I’m not allowed to elaborate.
Marc:  Alright, it’s time for our first match.

Music hits and out comes Prestige Inc accompanied by Ravishing Raquel.   Reid looks out of place without “his” title.  He is wearing the platinum medallion that Raquel gave to him earlier this year.  She kisses his cheek as he gets into the ring.  Out next comes the Shield.  Seth Rollins warns Raquel not to get involved but she doesn’t back down and stands toe to toe with him.

The match goes 45 minutes with both teams taking control of the match at different times.  At 3 different times during the match, the Shield triple-teamed each member of Prestige Inc for at least 2 rounds.  The end came after Super Warrior, who was hiding under the ring, blasted Reid in the head with the Elitist Title and that allowed Dean Ambrose to finish him off with a nasty headbutt.  The Shield goes on to Colorado Springs to meet Joe and the Uso’s for the 6 man tag team titles.  Prestige Inc leave the ring defeated while the Shield celebrates in the ring.

Marc:  Wow, those Shield guys really stepped up in this match.
Brian:  I know buddy.  They were really embarrassed by their last match that they made up for it in this one.
Marc:  It looks Master Bull doesn’t want any dead-air time so it looks like the next match is on.

Next up is the champion Tyson Kidd taking on Christopher Daniels for the X-Division Title.  It only took 4 minutes for Tyson to get up and leave resulting in a count out decision.  Master Bull, however was quick to make it out there. "Hang on a second.  I don’t know what you think you’re doing but this is Starcade – it is the show of champions.  I will not have our champions chickening out of title matches – especially here.  I am restarting the match.  A very pissed off champion reluctantly gets back in the ring but then shows why he’s the champ.  15 minutes later, Tyson gets the pin after nailing a swan dive elbow drop.

Brian:  At first, I thought Tyson was going to be a coward, running away like that but the Kidd really showed his champion spirit and fought off the more experienced “Fallen Angel”.
Marc:  You know, I thought Daniels would control the match better but the champ came out ahead,

We cut to the back where Master Bull walks up to Prestige Inc.  They are pretty bummed that they did not win the 6 man tag team match against the Shield.  Bull asks Reid “So, this thing between you and the Super Warrior.  I saw that he cost you your tag team match.”  “That bastard is dead meat.” Reid exclaimed.  “I will tear him apart.”  Master Bull came back with “You  know, he is from Parts Unknown so he’ll be pretty hard to figure out.  I tell you what though.  If you can win against him, I’ll treat you to a lunch at Kobe.  It’s this Japanese Steakhouse located in Phoenix.”  “Better go get a reservation in place.  Oh, and you may want to have a body bag ready for when I dispose of that Warrior chump.”  Reid then walked off.

Next on the card is US Champion AJ Styles taking on Sheamus.  The no-countout rule is now in place for the rest of the tour.  At the 24 minute mark, Sheamus catches the champ with a Brogue Kick and makes the cover for the 1..2..3.  Sheamus is the NEW US Champion.  AJ tried to say that Sheamus pulled his tights but the ref wouldn’t listen.  AJ then superkicks the new champion and then nails the Styles Clash.  AJ kicks him in the ribs for good measure before walking off.

Marc: Wow, AJ seems to have had a change of heart.  He was not taking his loss like a man.
Brian:  Don’t let him hear you say that or he may remove your head from your shoulders.
Marc:  Good point.  Thanks buddy.
Brian: Well, it seems that we are moving at a pretty decent pace.  We are about an hour and a half into our show and are about the half way mark.
Marc: The tag team champs are on their way down now.  The matches are flowing pretty well.

The Tag Team Champions the A-team represented by Austin Aries and Alberto Del Rio are accompanied by Antonio Cesaro.  They stand in the ring waiting for the challengers Big Show and Rey Mysterio Jr.  The ref asks who will be representing the A-team and after doing a “rock/paper/scissors”, it is decided that Cesaro and Del Rio will be defending the belts.  Aries was not happy about it.

The challengers dominated the match even with consistent interference from Austin Aries.  Every time the challengers went for a pin, Aries would put their leg on the bottom rope.  As we hit the 30 minute mark, Aries tried to interfere again and ate a knockout punch.  Cesaro nails a cradle facebuster on Big Show and with his feet on the ropes, pinned the big man 1-2-3.  The champs retain.  They scooped up their tag team partner and went to the back.

In the back, Sheamus approached Master Bull to complain about the after-match attack by that weasel Styles.  “What do you want me to do about it?  You’re the champion.  What are you complaining about?”  Sheamus said that he wanted Styles in a match and is willing to put his newly won title on the line as long as Master Bull ok’s it.  “Fine.  Consider it done but unless something happens during the PPV and we have time, don’t plan on this happening until the show after the PPV.”  Sheamus was ok with it.

We are coming down to the wire and have our first World title match.  HWF World Champion Kane will take on former champion Christian.  Kane easily dominated the former champion and after 17 minutes, pinned Christian after standing on his throat for an extended period of time and ending it with a chokeslam.  Kane will go on to Phoenix to fight for the Undisputed title.

Brian:  Wow, Kane really is a big red machine.  He totally dominated Christian. 
Marc:  I’m really looking forward to the match between Mark Henry and the Undertaker.  If Taker can win this one, it will be “brother vs brother”.
Brian:  You got that right buddy.  Look they are setting up the Hell in a Cell in preparation for our main event.
Marc:  You bet.  This is one for the ages.  On one hand, you have Mick Foley, hardcore Icon.  On the other, you have fan turned wrestler known as Casey Jones.  Over the span of this last year, Casey has proven he can stand toe-to-toe with the best of them – all of Foley’s incarnations as well as Abdullah the Butcher and the SHIT champion Lance Storm.
Brian:  Man, I am looking forward to this.  It will truly be an end for one of these two men.

Both men are in the cell pacing like cats.  The bell rings and we are underway.

In 22 minutes, Casey Jones defeats Mick Foley in the Hell in a Cell.  A weary Casey stands tall.  Mick Foley is out.  The ref goes to help him up and Foley shrugs him off.  Mick walks over to Casey and extends his hand.  Casey reluctantly shakes it.  Mick leaves the ring while Casey remains to the cheering of the fans.

Marc:  Well, that was a HELL of a battle.  Casey finally won the big one.
Brian:  You got that right buddy.  Casey may be exhausted but he finally settled who the winner is after this long, hard-fought battle.
Marc: Over 6 months of battling back and forth, Casey is the man.
Brian:  Well, that is it for this show.  We will be back for the Colorado Springs show.
Marc:  Thanks everyone and have a Merry Christmas.
Brian:  See you in a few days.  Merry Christmas to one and all.
