Hello fans and
welcome back to our newsletter. This
episode’s show took place in Houston, TX.
GM Hulk Hogan started off the show and gave props to Psycho Jack Hercules
for doing such a fantastic job while he was out. Hogan stated that he did in fact have a
major announcement but that it would have to wait till later in the show. First, he wanted to address the issue with
Alberto Del Rio. He calls Alberto out
and berates him for losing the title.
Alberto stood there and took the abuse.
After Hogan was done with his rant, Alberto said he would do better next
time…promise. Hogan excused him. “Now, on to other business. I do really want what is best for business so
I’m willing to let 2 HWF’rs have a stand off and one of them will head back to
the CSWA and will be entered into the World title tourney. Those two men will be in our main event for
the evening but all the cowpokes here will have to wait to see who they
are. You damn rednecks don’t deserve any
better.” The crowd got so angry that
they started throwing stuff at the GM who had to make a hasty retreat or be
covered in beer and nachos.
Santino Marella
makes his way out and into the ring. “It
is with sadness and heaviness of heart that I must announce my retirement from
the sport. I have enjoyed my time in the
CSWA and HWF and a little sad that I
didn’t win more titles but what can you do, huh? Thank you everyone…” He is cut off as Hogan makes his way out but
is hiding behind a bunch of security guards.
“Meat Shield, stay put. Santino,
you don’t get to decide when you are done; that is my job. But I will give you one option brother. You fight one more match. If you win, you get to quit on your
terms. If you lose, you will be here
FOREVER until I am done with you. Your
opponent will be this man…” Hogan turns
and out comes the bounty hunter Psycho Jack Hercules. Jack shakes Hogan’s hand and makes his way to
the ring. “Oh, one more thing…No DQ.” Out comes the A-Team and Pick and the Axe and
they all head to the ring and surround it.
In just over 12
minutes into our first match, Santino nails a battering ram and pins Psycho
Jack. This of course brings in the
entire CWO and they all beat down on Santino.
Prestige Inc run down to the ring along with the Dust Brothers – Goldust
and Stardust. The CWO is cleared out of
the ring and the faces help Santino to his feet. He thanks the fans again and leaves with his
entourage.
In the back, Hogan
is pissed about Prestige Inc and the Dust Brothers interfering. Hogan puts a match together for the Dust
Brothers vs Pick and the Axe with the winner moving up the tag team rankings.
Our next match
is a qualifier for the CSWA World title.
First out comes Kevin Steen followed by the All American Jack
Swagger. Steen controlled the entire
match but could not keep Swaggers shoulders to the mat for a full 3
seconds. In the last few seconds, Steen
hits a moonsault and connects but the time limit expires before the count is
completed. Swagger remains in the HWF
but Steen also moves over.
Next up is Diva’s
Champion Cactus Jackie taking on Fusion Valentine in a non-title match. In only 2 ½ minutes, Fusion gets counted out and
Jackie gets the Countout win.
Since the last
match was so short, Hogan added a new match which was next.
Hogan picked two
people at random and sent them out.
There were Robbie E and Bran-Don-Goh.
We hadn’t seen B in a while so it’s good he’s getting some air time. If that last match wasn’t short enough, this
one was even shorter…only 2 moves executed.
Robbie E hits a kneelift to the gut and B executes a stepover toehold
facelock. Robbie E taps out
immediately. Bran-Don-Goh gets the win
in only :45 seconds.
The next match
on the card is another qualifier. This
one has Bully Ray vs Wade Barrett. This
one also went the distance with the match ending in a time limit draw. Barrett stays put and Bully Ray moves to the
HWF.
Following this
was the match Hogan made up earlier in the evening – Pick and the Axe taking on
the Dust Brothers. Goldust and Stardust
made their way to the ring first followed by Hogan’s cronies. In 17 minutes, Dirk catches Stardust in a
Tama bearhug and just as Cody was passing out, Dirk dropped him and made the
pin. Pick and the Axe move up in the tag
team rankings.
Our second to
last match is a title match with Intercontinental Champion Dolph Ziggler taking
on Professor Cobra. In 2 minutes, Dolph
hits the Zig Zag bulldog on Cobra for the first fall. 7 minutes later, the Professor hits the King
Cobra diving headbutt to lock in the second fall. The third fall was controlled by Ziggler and
in 28 minutes, hits a handstand headlock for his best of 3 falls and is still the
Intercontinental Champion.
Hulk Hogan comes
out one more time with his meat shield and says he considers allowing the Undead
Warrior to participate in the tourney but only if he can beat 2 men of Hogan’s
choosing. This of course brings out the Undead
warrior and Bray Wyatt. Undead Warrior agrees
to the stipulation. Hogan says he will
announce who Undead Warrior’s opponents will be at a future show. Undead Warrior tells Hogan that it is not
over between the two of them and Hogan will pay the ultimate price…he just doesn’t
know it yet. Bray laughs and Hogan looks
on nervously.
Tonight’s Main
Event will allow one man to potentially move back to the CSWA: Bobby Lashley vs
Chris Jericho and for this one, the time limit is extended to 30 minutes and is
no DQ. This one is disappointingly
short. 4 minutes. We do see interference from Brock who nails
Bobby Lashley with a steel chair. He
throws Lashley back in where Jericho reluctantly takes advantage and locks
Lashley in the Walls of Jericho. Bobby
taps out. Chris Jericho gets to move to
the CSWA and is now part of the World title tourney.
Thanks for
reading. Stay tuned as there is more to
follow.
