HWF/CSWA Wrestling Newsletter 2014 – 09.01


Hello fans and welcome to our first newsletter for the month of September.  After taking a much needed day off for Labor Day, we wind up in Richmond, VA for the next show.

The cameras begin rolling as Donnie B and Jeff Meyers arrive with lawyers, the local police and GM Hulk Hogan.  They wander around the back until they find Malo Leche de Mantequilla.  They approach Malo and Donnie B asks Malo to drop the suit.  Malo refuses so Donnie B hands Malo pictures of his own…showing Malo unmasked!  Malo screams “where did you get those?” Meyers tells Malo to drop his blackmail immediately or the pictures will be revealed and the lawyers and police on hand will take immediate action.  Malo stares at the pictures (we don’t get to see them so we don’t know his identity) and he submits.  The lawyers make Malo Leche sign some legal documentation that he can never reveal the identities of the Mexicali Flyers and if he does, not only will he face fines but jail time as well.  Malo looks at Donnie B and says “Always holding someone down, aren’t you?”  The police, lawyers and Donnie B and Jeff Meyers all walk away.  Hogan remains behind.  “Listen Brother…there are ways of information being leaked that don’t have to tie back to you.   Think about that…brother.”  Hogan then leaves and heads to the stage leaving Malo to ponder on what just transpired.

GM Hulk Hogan appears on stage and in his briefest of soliloquies, says that the draft will take place at the end of the show.  He then leaves so the show can begin.

Our first match has Robbie E and Rob Terry challenging Shield members Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins to see who gets the next tag team title shot.   The match goes for 25 minutes and saw ‘Team Rob’ actually control the match against the Shield.  That may have had to do with Roman Reigns coming out for the distraction.  At different points of the match, Reigns nailed the Superman punch on both Ambrose and Rollins.   In the end, Rob Terry gets the pin on Seth Rollins after hitting a running powerslam.  ‘Team Rob’ is in line for the next tag team title shot against VamChango.

In the back, HWF World Champion Batista is complaining about the lack of talent in the HWF – at least anyone worthy of a title shot.  Bray Wyatt walks over and says he never got a rematch.  Batista gloats “Listen, little man, I’ve beaten you at your own game (specialty match) and will do it again if you want.  I will annihilate you a second time and if I don’t, I’ll leave.”  Both agree to an ECW rules match and after a brief staredown, they go their separate ways.

Back in the ring, we have the team of Alexander Rusev, Tajiri and ‘Bad News’ Wade Barrett taking on Prestige Inc. with Reid’s first match back since Rusev took him out.  Not only is this a grudge match but will also place the team on the road to the 6 Man Tag Team titles.  The match was dominated by triple teaming from Prestige Inc. on the big Bulgarian.  Rusev was in the ring almost the entire time and Tajiri and Barrett saw little in-ring action.  Magnus only got involved in the triple teaming.  Reid was on top of his game and took the fight to Rusev.  Finally, after 9 minutes, Rusev makes the tag to Tajiri.  Tajiri spit mist in Magnus’ face and after being tossed into the corner, Reid nails a Stinger Splash.  Sandow takes down Rusev and Barrett while Reid makes the cover and gets the 1-2-3.  Prestige Inc. win this one and move up the tag rankings.  Rusev and Barrett carry Tajiri from the ring cursing that this isn’t over. (12 min)

Next match up has Sanada taking on Kenta.  The two men put on a hell of a show but you could tell from the first few minutes of the match that Sanada was in control.  Kenta got in some good shots including two GTS (Go to Sleep) shots but it couldn’t keep Sanada down.  Sanada connected with two Moonsaults and that allowed him to control the tempo.  Finally, in just over 18 minutes, Sanada hits Kenta with a leg roll clutch and turns it into a 3 count.  Sanada gets the win and he motions that he is ready for a title shot and he is gunning for the IC title currently held by Dolph Ziggler.

The match that followed is Conan Jones taking on Zack Ryder.  Surprisingly Conan Jones held his own against Ryder.  This was a short match that saw both men fighting on the outside of the ring. Conan nails a german Suplex on to one of the announce tables (it did not break).  Conan rolls back in and gets the win via count out. (5 min)

Up next is Kofi Kingston taking on Sami Zayn.   These two put on a hell of a show but Zayn was in control the entire match with Kingston kicking out at every turn.  At the 21 minute mark, Zayn nails a sunset flip powerbomb and rolls Kofi up for the 1-2-3.

Bran-Don-Goh makes his way down for his match which was next.  His opponent tonight is Tyson Kidd.  B has one of his best outings to date.  He was able to lock in a stepover toehold facelock at the 4 minute mark and he got Tyson to tap out.  Bran-Don-Goh gets another check in the win column.

Our first of two main events John Cena vs Samoa Joe.  This one was disappointing as it was way too short.   Cena tries for a knuckle jam but Joe nullifies it.  Joe locks in a modified camel clutch but Cena powers out and nails a 5 knuckle shuffle and rolls Joe up for the pin.  Joe popped up and looked shocked that the match was over so soon.  The two stared at each other and then left.

Our 2nd main event is the HWF World Champion Batista taking on former champ Bray Wyatt.  This one is set up with ECW rules. 

HWF Champ Batista complains about lack of talent in the HWF (worthy of a title shot).  Bray Wyatt comes out and says he never got a rematch.  Batista gloats over beating him at his own game (specialty match) and will do it again or he’ll walk out.  Both agree to an ECW rules match.  Bray hits a scoop powerslam and Batista hits an enforcer spinebuster.  He goes for a pin but only gets a 2 count.  Batista stands on Bray’s throat and then hurls Bray into the ref knocking him out.  Bray tries to whack Batista in the gonads with golf clubs but Dave nullifies it.  Batista then rams Bray into the ringside barrier and then brings him back in the ring and hits another enforcer spinebuster.  Dave stands on Bray’s throat again but Centurion runs down and hands Bray a chair which is then smashed over Batista’s head drawing blood.   Dave nails another enforcer spinebuser.   Dave is dominating Bray and hits a boot to the face.  He makes the cover but Bray kicks out at 1.   Bray somehow hits a lifting sideslam and makes a weak cover but Dave kicks out.  Bray stumbles and picks up the chair again and blasts Dave in the head not once, not twice but three times.  Bray drops the bloody instrument and makes the cover.  The ref starts to count 1….2……3.  Bray Wyatt has just defeated Batista to regain the HWF World title and Batista is out of a job.  Medics come out and load Batista to a gurney and take him to the back.  Bray remains in the ring cackling covered in blood.  Finally, he leaves.

GM Hulk Hogan comes out but stays on the stage.  “Well, we have a new World Champion and with a few people no longer employed, it is time to stage our draft.  As a reminder, those who have federation specific belts such as the World title and US title, they will stay put.  Those with non-specific titles such as the Elitist and Hardcore titles can be drafted elsewhere.  The purpose of that is to give them a resting place if or when they lose their titles.”  Psycho Jack Hercules comes out with a bowl full of wrestler’s names and it appears Hogan will be using this method for the draft.

The HWF picks up the following wrestlers:

Samoa Joe, Prestige Inc., Brad Maddox, the 719 Cartel, Bo Dallas, The Axe, Kane, EC III, Rockstar Spud, Malo Leche de Mantequilla, David Otunga, John Cena, Conan Jones, Alexander Rusev, Tajiri, and Randy Orton. 

The CSWA picks up:
The new Shield, Ken Anderson, Jay Lethal, Big E Langston, Christian, Bobby Lashley, the Colons, Kenta, the Miz, Sanada, Professor Cobra, Tyson Kidd, The Dust Brothers, Kazarian, Kevin Steen Brock Lesnar and Jack Swagger.

Hogan seems happy with all the changes and brings the show to an end. 


Thanks for reading.  I’m sure that the changes in the roster should make for some continuing and new feuds.  Stay Tuned.
