HWF/CSWA Wrestling Newsletter 2016 – #437


Hello fans and welcome back to our newsletter.  GM Max McGillicutty let us know beforehand that today’s show was going to be packed so instead of him wasting time talking, he was going to let the action speak for itself.

The show begins with a CSWA tournament to create placements for it’s top 10.  The superstars appeared on stage and the show began with 10 people starting and every few minutes, another 5 would be sent to the ring.  A very interesting piece of information was that newly moved member Kurt Angle was the #1 pick (Angle is no longer managing the Varsity Club) and he had a fantastic run.  The final three came down to Angle, Shield member Roman Reigns and X-Factor member Austin ‘the Man’ Aries.  Angle nails Aries with an Angle slam and then Reigns nails a superman punch sending Aries over the top rope and eliminating him.  Angle then hits a dropkick to the back of Reigns and he goes over the top and hits the floor.  Kurt Angle, the #1 entrant, becomes the #1 contender for the CSWA World title.  Angle is already making his presence known.   (40 min)

Max is in his office with the Enforcers – AJ Styles, Christopher Daniels and Samoa Joe.  Max tells them they are in action tonight but not as a team but individually.  They didn’t seem to mind.

Charlotte Flair makes her way to the ring but before she can start talking, the Beautiful People (Angelina Love, Madison Rayne and Velvet Sky make their way out and stand at ringside.  They ask Charlotte where her “backup” is and Charlotte says “right behind you”.  Making their way to the ring are Becky Lynch, Sasha Banks and Bayley.  Charlotte introduces them as the “New Four Horsewomen”.  The four of them are attacked by the Beautiful People but are quickly dispatched.   Charlotte challenges them to a match later and BP accept.  That will be our main event.

AJ Styles comes out for his match and he is taking on Seth Rollins from the Shield.  Seth started off strong but AJ took the match to him.  The longer it went on though, the more Rollins battled back.  Shield member Dean Ambrose made his way out but did not interfere.  It was enough to throw AJ off his game.  After stunning him with a mild curb stomp, Seth nails a Pedigree Facebuster.  Rollins hooks the leg (and the tights) and gets the 1-2-3.  Rollins raises his arms in victory and leaves with Ambrose.  (17 min)

Max says that two new women performers will be making their debut tonight.  In fact, they are up next.

Eva Marie makes her way to the ring.  Her opponent, Maria Kanellis makes her way to the ring.  Both women are new to the HWF and CSWA and this promises to be a top notch match.  Maria totally owned this match but try as she could, she couldn’t get the pin.  Eva Marie kept her chances alive with every kick out.  Finally, Maria throws Eva Marie into the corner and nails a Bronco Buster.  That was all she wrote for Eva.  Maria pulls her into the middle of the ring and makes the cover to get the win.  Maria celebrates to a mixed reaction from the fans and then leaves.  (23 min)

Magnum Kone calls out the Stache and says he wants his rematch.  Stache comes out and says that Magnum is just a loser and doesn’t deserve anything.  He gets to start back at the bottom and can work his way back up.  Max comes out and says that at the next show, Stache gets to defend his title against Magnum in a rematch.

The Steel Curtain (Buzz and Starbuck Steel) say it is time for them to earn a shot at the belts that were taken from them – the World Tag Team titles and tonight they take on the Varsity Club.  Starbuck tells Bo and Swagger to bring their A-Game.

Roman Reigns makes his way to the ring and is told that tonight he is taking on Samoa Joe.  Joe makes his way out and seems to be in a bit of a better mood.  Reigns starts off with a deadlift powerslam but Joe hurls Reigns out of the ring.  Dean Ambrose runs down with a chair and blasts Joe with it causing the DQ.  Joe then hurls Dean out of the ring and stands tall with the chair.  (30 seconds)

Max comes out and tells Dean to stay there as he is up next.  Max asks Joe to leave the ring and not to interfere even though he has every right.  Joe says he is the better man and leaves.  Dean’s opponent is Christopher Daniels.  Daniels stuns Ambrose with Death Valley driver and a double knee gutbuster.  Ambrose shakes it off and hurls Daniels out of the ring.  He then nails a suicide dive and he and Daniels crash hard into the ringside barrier.  Daniels looks to be out cold.  Ambrose took his time but eventually made it back in the ring just before the 10 count.  Dean Ambrose wins this one via countout in only 90 seconds.  Samoa Joe then ran down blasted Ambrose with a chair before he scampered away from the ring.  Joe and Daniels stood tall in the ring.

Roving reporter Clarkus Kentus lets us know that Larry Morton has been released from the hospital.  Clarkus says that Dr. Red Fang is insane and is a danger to those around him.  Who knows who his next victim will be.

The Varsity Club (Jack Swagger and Bo Dallas) make their way to the ring.  Music hits and out comes the Steel Curtain to the biggest pop of the night.  They high five the fans and they get into the ring.  All 4 men shook hands but before the bell could ring, the Ascension (Konnor and Viktor) hit the ring and destroy the Steel Curtain.  By the time the ref was able to get control, the damage was already done.  The bell rang and the Varsity Club definitely had an advantage over their opponents.  The Steel Curtain tried to hold their own but the damage done to them was just too great.  Jack Swagger nails Buzz with a gutwrench suplex and that takes all the air out of his lungs.  Starbuck is kicked off the ring by Bo Dallas.  Jack makes the cover and gets the pin.  The Varsity Club are victorious.  As they leave, the Ascension hit the ring again and demolish the Steel Curtain once again.  Viktor takes a mic.  “Ohhhhhhh what a rush.  Ha ha.  But you know, the LOD did have some great one liners.  The Steel Curtain are nothing but posers and like the pond scum they are, they got what was coming to them.”  Konnor takes the mic.  “Steel…more like plastic…or paper; they crumble and fall apart when REAL athletes show them what’s what.  Maybe we’ll leave them alone and let them nurse their wounds.  But soon, real soon, we’ll meet in the ring and then…” Viktor takes the mic “…You’re DONE! Haha”.  They then leave the ring as medics come out to check on Buzz and Starbuck.  (15 min for the match; 20 min for the segment)

Max says that he knows that the Steel Curtain will want revenge and makes the first match for our King of the Ring PPV – The Steel Curtain vs the Ascension.

Another quick tournament is held to help determine the top 10 for the tag team titles.  This one was done elimination style.  The champs, the Desperados, the Steel Curtain, the Canadians (the Savior and Drew the Canadian Love Machine) and the Varsity club were not in this one.  The Ascension dominated everything until a battered and bruised Steel Curtain came out and attacked and helped eliminate the Ascension.  They then chased them to the back swing chairs wildly.  The last remaining team getting the win was New Day members Xavier Woods and Big E.   (15 min) 

In the back, a bruised and battered Steel Curtain and the Canadians met with Max complaining about not being included in the tournament.  Max says the Steel Curtain were not up to the match (Starbuck did say that they were well enough to kick the Ascensions asses) and the Canadians just lucked out.  The Canadians ask for a shot at New Day’s opportunity and Max says it will happen at the next show.  He looks at the Steel Curtain and tells them to take some time off, recup and then come back. 

It is time for the main event.  The Beautiful People (Angelina Love, Velvet Sky and Madison Rayne) come out first but they point out it’s only the three of them.  That means Charlotte has to leave one of her friends behind.  Charlotte comes out with Bayley, Sasha Banks and Becky Lynch.  Sasha Banks agrees to sit this one out but will be at color commentary.  The Beautiful People immediately attack but the bell rings and the ref gets everything under control.  The Horsewomen take over and school the veterans.  Lots of tags from the Horsewomen kept the Beautiful People confused.  You could tell that Angelina and Madison were getting upset with Velvet taking such a beating that they had to keep rescuing her.  Velvet ended up succumbing to an Exploder Suplex from Becky Lynch.  The Horsewomen get the win.  They celebrate briefly and then leave.  Madison and Angelina get really pissy at Velvet and Angelina hits Velvet with the Lights Out.  They turn and leave her behind in the ring.  As Velvet struggles to get to her feet, an unlikely superstar comes out to help her.  Southern Belle makes her way to the ring and ends up helping her up and it seems like an uneasy alliance has just been created.  Belle helps Velvet to the back bringing this one to an end.


Stay tuned as there is more happening and we’ve only scratched the suface.
