Hello
fans and welcome back to our newsletter.
As was mentioned last show, we are moving to a Wed/Sat schedule up until
Wrestlemania. We have lots of great
matches tonight that include the tag team titles, the 6 man titles, the Women’s
title, the Diva’s title and the Intercontinental Championship. GM Max McGillicutty comes out and says that
they only have 2 hours tonight so he has to put a time limit on each match of
20 minutes. He’s confident all the
current champs will retain in that amount of time or we’ll see new champs.
The
show kicks off with the Diva’s title match.
The challenger and member of the 4 Horsewomen Sasha Banks makes her way
to the ring. The champ’s music hits and
out comes Brie Bella accompanied by her sister Taylor. She raises her sister’s arm and then head to
the ring. While Sasha is in the ring,
Nikki attacks her from behind beating her down.
The rest of the Horsewomen (Charlotte, Becky Lynch and Bayley) hit the
ring and chase the Bellas out. Sasha is
in no shape for a match. Bayley asks if
she can fill in for her. Sasha agrees. Charlotte and Becky Lynch help Sasha out of
the ring and Bayley is ready for her match.
Bayley maintained a slight advantage over the champ but after Nikki
tripped her at the ropes, it allowed Brie to hit the Sitout Facebuster and hook
the leg (and tights) for the pin. Brie
Bella celebrates before being chased out of the ring by Bayley. (9 min)
We
head to the back and El Chango and the Stache appear to be having words. El Chango tells the Stache that he lost his
edge and now he’s helping out their enemies.
Stache says that they weren’t always assholes to everyone and maybe El
Chango needs an attitude adjustment. The two begin shoving each other and Leon
Terermoto has to break it up. “HEY” he
yells. “Remember what Bray said. Do YOU want to be the one to incur his
wrath?” They stop and mumble “no” and
Leon instructs them to shake hands and put this crap behind them. The reluctantly do and that ends that
segment.
We
go back to the ring where the Shield (Roman Reigns, Dean Ambrose and Seth
Rollins) are making their way to the ring.
Tonight, they get their hands on the 6 Man champs New Day (Big E, Xavier
Woods and Kofi Kingston). The champs
head to the ring and are acting all goofy and the fans are eating it up. The Shield started off strong and beat the
crap out of the champs. Unfortunately
for them, the time limit would run out before they could get their pin. Big E had just nailed Dean Ambrose with the
Big Ending but Seth Rollins sent E out to the floor. While Big E was recovering, the bell
rang. The champs immediately grabbed
their belts, and hightailed it out of there.
With the beating the Shield gave them, I’m sure they will see a rematch
in the future. (20 min time)
Women’s
champion Paige is approached by her opponent tonight Maria Kanellis and Maria
tells her that tonight a new champion will be crowned. Paige says that if Layla is so sure she’ll
win, why doesn’t she put her career on the line. Maria says Absolutely but only if Paige does
the same. Paige agrees. So I guess one person will walk away with the
title and a career and the other will be looking for work.
We
go back to the ring where Forgotten member Erick Rowan accompanied by Braun
Stroman and Luke Harper all make their way to the ring. The ref immediately sends Stroman and Harper
from the ring leaving Rowan by himself.
The Intercontinental Champion Magnum Kone makes his way to the ring to a
nice pop from the fans. Rowan
immediately attacks the champ. The champ
battled back and took the fight to Rowan.
Suddenly, Haagen and Daas made their way down to the ring through the
crowd. Rowan then “accidentally” bumped
the ref and then went after Kone. The
three men triple teamed Kone until he “hulked up” and quickly dispatched both
Haagen and Daas and then took the fight to Rowan. Magnum threw Rowan into the corner and then
nailed the Ice Cream Sandwich (splash) just as the ref was recovering. Magnum went for the cover and got the
pin. Magnum Kone is victorious in his
title defense. (9 min)
In
the back, Brie Bella runs into Southern Belle and mocks her for not being a
good representative of Women’s wrestling.
After letting Brie run her mouth for a moment, she slaps the SHIT out of
her. Brie’s eyes go all wide and can’t believe what Belle just did. Belle stands over her and says that is only a
small piece of what she can do. She
issues a challenge to Brie for the Diva’s title and that match will be at
Wrestlemania. Belle threatens to smack
her again and Brie agrees.
Maria
makes her way to the ring to a mixed reaction from the fans. The Women’s Champ Paige comes out and gets a
good pop. She rushes the ring and Maria
bails. Paige holds her title high and
then eventually Maria gets back in the ring for the match. Maria hits the ref and that causes a DQ. A career can’t end on a DQ. Max comes out and asks if Paige still wants
the match and she says yes and no career needs to be on the line. Maria attacks Paige but is shrugged off. 3 minutes later, Paige locks Maria in the PTO
and she taps out. Paige retains her
title in quick fashion. Maria storms
off. (3 min)
The
Steel Curtain make their way to the ring and sit at commentary.
It’s
time for the Main Event but GM Max McGillicutty comes out first. He says that they’ve done a great job
adhering to the time schedule so he’s giving the main event a ONE HOUR time
limit but will makes this a best of 3 falls match. First, the Enforcers (Mark Henry &
Ryback) come out first. Next, MJ leads
his team the Ascension (Konnor & Viktor) to the ring. The Ascension saw the Steel Curtain at
ringside and began to complain. The ref
didn’t want to hear it and after sending MJ out of the ring, started the match
right off. The champs immediately
DESTROYED their opponents and after 4 minutes, injured both of them. The Steel Curtain stood up and tried to point
it out to the ref but MJ got in their face telling them to STFU and sit
down. Buzz took offense and chased MJ
from the ring. At the 5 minute mark,
Viktor nails a forearm smash to an incapacitated Mark Henry and covered him for
the win. The ref then pushed the
Ascension back and told them to give Henry and Ryback a few minutes to
recover. When the time passed, the ref
started the second fall. The champs held
the advantage over the Enforcers for the entirety of the match but after
getting hit with the Fall of Man on the outside of the ring, Ryback could not
make it back in nor could Henry make the save.
The Ascension are victorious and win via countout. (15 min).
Immediately, they go after Starbuck Steel still sitting at ringside but
with Buzz Steel’s return, the odds quickly evened out. GM Max McGillicutty comes out and says that
they still have a lot of time on the clock and says that the fans really want
to see more. Buzz says that they’ll take
on the Ascension right here and now and the fans pop. Max says that he can’t put the titles on the
line however if the Steel Curtain win, they not only get the title match at
Wrestlemania but get to pick a special stipulation. They agree and hit the ring and the Ascension
bails. MJ gets on the mic and tells Max
that the Steel Curtain have everything to gain but nothing to lose. Max agrees and says that if the Ascension win
here and now, the Steel Curtain will NOT get a title shot at Wrestlemania. Max adds that this will be a no DQ
match. The Ascension hit the ring and
our match begins now. Both teams just beat
the crap out of each other for 30 minutes.
All 4 men took a real beating and the champs were looking
victorious. MJ then decided to stick his
nose in. He picked up a chair and slid
it in (legal in this match). Viktor
picked it up but Starbuck hit Viktor with a hangman’s DDT and the chair fell to
the mat. Both men end up making the tag
and Konnor pops Buzz a good one and then climbs the turnbuckle. Buzz follows him up and then hits a suplex
from the ropes and Konnor hits the chair laying in the ring. Buzz makes the cover and gets the 1-2-3. The Steel Curtain are victorious in this
hellacious 36 minute battle. Max makes
his way back down and tells them they get the Tag Team title shot at
Wrestlemania and asks them to pick the match they want. Buzz motions to Starbuck and he says that he
is choosing a match type that has never been used in the HWF or CSWA. The match type will be an Oklahoma Bullrope,
Coleminers Glove, Come Dressed as you are Streetfight in a barbwire cage. The fans pop HUGE at this announcement while
the Ascension and MJ look like the Grim Reaper has just claimed their souls.
With
that, the show comes to an end. The
countdown to Wrestlemania has just begin. Stick with us as this is going to be a
fantastic ride.
