HWF/CSWA Wrestling Newsletter 2014 – 09.08


Hello fans and welcome back to our newsletter.  Today’s issue comes from our show taped in front of a Portland, ME hot crowd.  Before the show begins, we see the CSWA World Champion the Undertaker arrive.  As he exits his limo, Brock Lesnar attacks him and bounces the champ off the limo.  Brock then F-5’s him on the limo and then leaves.

The show begins, not with GM Hulk Hogan or his lackey Psycho Jack Hercules but with a bunch of newbies making their way down to the ring.  The introduce themselves as Adrian Neville, Prince Devitt and Tyler Breeze and they call themselves the “NXT kids on the block”.  They are here to make an Impact and they immediately challenge the Mexicali Flyers and Rey Rey.  The Flyers and Rey Rey come out and say that they will accept the NXT kids challenge.  They head to the ring for their match.

The new kids put on a good show but it was not enough for the seasoned veterans.  The Cartel only needed 8 minutes and with a neckbreaker from El Dragon on Adrian, he secured the 1-2-3 for the Cartel.  After the match, the Flyers and Rey Rey tried to shake the NXT kids’ hands but they refused and walked away.  It looks like the NXT kids will be rostered to the CSWA.

We cut to the back where another new guy is being introduced.  His name is Xavier Woods and he is here to win.  He says he spoke to GM Hogan and asked for a mentor to be teamed with and he was granted Tyson Kidd.  Kidd and Xavier will be put in the HWF (Tyson is being moved from CSWA).

Undertaker is in the back being checked out and he says he’s fine.  He is here to defend his title against an Olympic Hero – Kurt Angle.  This will not set him back.

We head to the ring where Christian has set up the ‘Peep’ Show (like his peeps, not something creepy).  He introduces his guest and it is the Caped Crusader.  Crusader comes out to the cheering from the fans.  Christian asks about Ms. Caped Crusader and if there is ‘anything’ between the two.  CC says no and that he was approached by Ms. CC and asked if she could follow in his footsteps…bringing truth and justice to the Women’s side of the house.  They are immediately interrupted by the Shield (Ryback, Ambrose & Rollins) and they start trashing the Peep set.  Christian and CC start to fight back but are quickly overwhelmed.  Assistance comes from a very unlikely source as North American Champion Mark Henry runs down and chases off the Shield.  Caped Crusader and Mark Henry actually shake hands and Henry says that even though he has a match against Ryback later for the NA title, at Revenge, we should see the Shield vs Christian, Henry and the Caped Crusader.  The fans seem to like that idea.

Christian and the Caped Crusader step out of the ring as Mark Henry prepares for his match against Ryback.  Mark is in control for the first 8 minutes of the match but Ryback starts to build up steam and start chipping away at the façade of the World’s Strongest Man.  About 15 minutes into the match, the Shield came back down to ringside and brawled with Christian and CC.  Seth Rollins, after dropping the Crusader with a well placed superkick, blasts Mark Henry with a steel pipe (behind the ref’s back – of course).  Ryback took full control of the match and for the next 8 minutes, dominated Henry.  A weakened Henry fell to the Meathook but Ryback couldn’t pin him.  He then deadlifted Henry and nailed a powerslam that shook the entire ring.  We were afraid it was going to collapse.  Ryback makes the cover and with a  hook of the leg (and some tights), Ryback gets the 1-2-3.  Ryback has just become the NEW NORTH AMERICAN CHAMPION.

We cut to a video of the Elitist Champion Alexander Rusev in his home waiting on a pizza delivery.  The pizza guy finally shows up and Rusev complains he is 2 minutes late and his pizza is now free.  The pizza delivery guy reveals himself to be Reid Rothchild (did he take on a part time gig to pay the bills or just for this attack?) and attacks Rusev.  Reid rubs Rusev’s face in the pie, nails a stunner and pours tomato sauce on him before leaving.  Reid is partially satisfied but he broke the rule about Rusev and Reid taking time away from each other.  I wonder if this will have any reprecussions.

We go back to the ring for our next match which has AJ Styles defending the US title against Daniel Bryan.  This is a really short match that sees Styles dominate.  It only takes 4 minutes for Styles to hit the Styles Clash and pin Bryan.  After the match, Daniel seemed more frustrated at his loss.

GM Hulk Hogan is backstage and says he will be making announcements all evening in regards to the Revenge PPV.  He confirms that Alexander Rusev and Reid Rothchild will be in a Hell in a Cell.  Hogan says to stick around as more announcements will be forthcoming. (I don’t think he saw the segment between Rusev and Reid)

We go back to the ring and Cactus Jackie is already out there.  She is calling out Ms. Caped Crusader.  It was just revealed that she is going by the name of Flamebird.   She makes her way to the ring and climbs in.  Jackie gets in her face asking what right she has to interfere in her matches and Flamebird nails her with the Wam!Bam!Pow!.  Jackie retreats as Flamebird removes her mask….HOLY CRAP!  It is none other than AJ Lee.  The crowd pops (fyi, Hogan has been trying since he took control to get Lee to sign a contract but Vinnie Mac wouldn’t allow it).  She skips around the ring before asking for a microphone.  “Hello Portland!”  The crowd pops again.  “The greatest Women’s Champion is in the house.  Now, if I really wanted, I would call out the Diva’s Champion Ravishing Raquel, challenge her and then take her title but I’m really after one thing…initially and that is the Women’s Title.  I want to challenge the champ right here and now to a non-title match.  After I win, I will challenge her for the title.  Once I win that, I will call out the Ravishing One and challenge her to a “winner takes all” match.  Then and only then will I be the undisputed Women’s champion.”

Velvet Sky makes her way out and agrees to the non-title match up.  AJ dominates the champ and even manages to turn a reverse bulldog from Sky into the Black Widow where she gets the champ to tap out in only 5 minutes.  AJ is already making a name for herself.  She picks up the mic again.  “One win down and one to go.  Once I win the title, I will dominate the division like my good friend did in his…you know who I’m taking about.”  A HUGE CM Punk chant broke out..  “Pfft.  Who?  No, I was referring to my buddy the Caped Crusader.”  She dropped the mic, started skipping again and then left the ring.

GM Hulk Hogan announces that the Shield comprised of the North American champion Ryback, Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins will take on Christian, the Caped Crusader and Mark Henry at the PPV.

Casey Jones makes his way to the ring to defend the X-Division title.  It is pretty amazing that the X-Division title, along with the Intercontinental Championship have only changed hands 3 times. This is the fewest of any of the championships.  However, where Dolph Ziggler has had 5 successful defenses, Casey Jones actually had 6.  He is the longest reigning of all our champions.  He comes out with his tag team partner Bran-Don-Goh (who just wants to win).  Casey is a bit surprised when his opponent is announced at is none other than the Samoan Submission Machine Samoa Joe.  Casey actually gulps when Joe makes his way to the ring.  A fan in the front row has a sign that reads “Joe’s gonna kill you”.  Casey did ok for the first 10 minutes but then after that, it was all Joe.  Joe was beating the champ down and owning him but he just couldn’t get Casey to tap out or stay down for the 3.  Just past the 25 minute mark, a beaten and bloodied Casey Jones gets hurled into the crowd.  Bran-Don-Goh pleads with him to just stay down and Casey obliges.  Casey ends up getting counted out.  Joe wins the match but not the title.  It looks like Casey’s reign is still intact.  Bran-Don-Goh helps Casey to his feet only to knock him back down with a flying calf kick.  He then locks in a stepover toe hold facelock and Casey is screaming in pain tapping out.  Bran-Don-Goh kicks him a few times before leaving to the nasty booing coming from this crowd.  He doesn’t seem to care.

It is time for our main event and Kurt Angle comes out first to the cheering from the fans.  He is then followed by a very slow moving World Champion the Undertaker.  Angle asks Undertaker if he is ok to actually have this match as they can postpone it till a later date but Undertaker answers with a huge boot to the face.  Ok, I guess he’s ok afterall…maybe not.  That seems to be all Undertaker had in his tank as Angle lowered his strap and went to town on the champ.  As each minute passed, Undertaker looked worse and worse.  By the time the 12th minute rolled around, Undertaker could barely stand.  Kurt picked up the champ and nailed an Angle Slam.  He yelled “Wooo” before making the cover.  The ref counted 1…2….3.  Kurt Angle has just defeated the Undertaker to become the NEW CSWA World Heavyweight Champion.   As Kurt is celebrating in the ring, a video comes on which shows Angle and Brock Lesnar…collaborating.  WHAT THE?  Kurt is trying to play ignorant but the crowd is beginning to turn on him.  Kurt has no idea what happened until Bobby Lashley comes out and says he ran the video.  He knew Kurt was dirty as soon as he came over from the HWF. Bobby says that if Kurt really is on the up and up, he would give Bobby a title shot here and now.  Bobby chased Kurt out of and around the ring.  Kurt stopped, grabbed a chair and blasted Bobby with it.  He then went to work on Bobby’s ankle before throwing him in the ring.  Angle tells the ref to start the match.  For 3 minutes, Angle worked on the leg and ankle of Lashley.  When Bobby could no longer stand on it. Kurt applied the Angle Lock and got Bobby to tap out.  Kurt is successful in his first (questionable) title defense.  Kurt leaves to the booing of the crowd.  Suits come out to help Bobby to the back.

Back in his office, Hogan says he has one more announcement before bringing this show to an end.  Hogan announces that Cena vs Lesnar will be an I Quit Match.  The crowd pops until Hogan tells everyone “Thanks for coming, brothers!” and brings the show to an end.


I think the October PPV is shaping up pretty good right now.  I think the full lineup for the card should be determined in the next couple of weeks.  Stay Tuned.
