HWF/CSWA Wrestling Newsletter 2016 – #461


Hello fans and welcome back to our newsletter.   GM Max McGillicutty starts off the show and tells us that Ronda is fine after that sneak attack by Stephanie McMahon.   Max says that Ronda suffered a small cut from the chair shot but will be fine.  He goes on to say that Stephanie and Ronda will not be back on until Wrestlemania (the fans boo).   Max shows a video from after the cameras stopped rolling.  After the last show ended, Ronda eventually recovered and chased Stephanie to the back.   Stephanie kept running until she got to her limo and sped off.  Ronda stood watching seething.  She mutters “Just you wait.”

A limo pulls up and out comes Big Show, Kane and King CJ.  They head right for Max’s office.

Our show kicks off with Mr. Wrestling #5 vs Tyler Breeze.  Mr. Wrestling #5 seems to fall short of both his predecessors Mr. Wrestling #4 and before him, MW3.  He just doesn’t seem to be doing a good job living up to the Mr. Wrestling moniker.  Breeze comes out after him and as soon as he hits the ring, the two of them lock up.  For this match, however, he really stepped up his game. He took the former X-Division champion and tossed him around like a rag doll.  The longer the match went on, the better Mr. Wrestling #5 looked.  Tyler got to the point where he didn’t think he could win the match so he exited the ring and ended up getting counted out.  Mr. Wrestling #5 wins this one but it’s a countout win.  Oh well.  (14 min)

Team “Royal Red Show” tells Max that they want a match against Bray and his cronies.  Max says they are not here tonight but the match will be set up for the next show.

We go back to the ring for the next match which has former CSWA World Champ and leader of the Enforcers Samoa Joe vs Shield member Dean Ambrose.  Joe had control of this one but every time he went for a pin or submission, Ambrose would get to the ropes.  Joe kept beating Ambrose down and thought he had it locked in when he locked Dean in a modified camel clutch but somehow Ambrose got out of it and hit the Dirty Deeds out of nowhere.  He made the cover and hooked the leg (probably had the tights too) and he got the win.   Shield members Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins came out and looked like they were going to attack Joe but AJ Styles and Christopher Daniels came out to even the odds.  Styles commented that Reigns was going to fail tonight in the fatal 4 way and both teams almost came to blows. Rollins challenged the Enforcers to a match next show and they agreed.

The announcers took time to talk about ‘The Ragin’ Cajun” Rad Gumbo and once again talked about how he wrestled gators in the Bayou swamps when he was a kid.  They spoke about how bullfrogs are prevalent in the LA swamps and marshes as are Cottonmouths and River Rats.  Next, lighting up the Omegatron, a vignette for Rad’s World began.  This week on Rad’s World…Rad Gumbo wrestles a Gator!   The video shows Rad jumping a Gator from behind and began to wrestle it.  After getting it flipped on its back, he pins it (hang on…is that a guy in a gator costume?).  Rad climbs out of the water and settles down on the ground.  “See dat Mon ami?  Dat is what I’m goin’ do to your champs…I’m gonna beat dem silly and take whatever title I want.  Wrestlemania…here I come.”  The fans boo as the vignette ends.

Time to head back to the ring for a title match.  Hardcore champ the Stache is defending his title against Uhaa Nation.  We haven’t seen much of Nation since he debuted but he gets a chance right now for glory.  This one is an ECW rules match.  This was a breeze for the champ.  He was able to easily beat down his challenger.  The match was interrupted when Desperado member El Chango came out.  He climbed in the ring (this is a no DQ match) and assisted in the beat down on Uhaa.  He then told Stache to go for the pin which he did and got the 3 count.  El Chango raised the arm of the Stache and then asked for a mic.  He said that he doesn’t feel Stache can successfully defend the title against Shane McMahon and says he should lay down right now, let him become the champ and he’ll teach Shane the meaning of pain and suffering.  The Stache says that will all due respect, no.  El Chango gets pissed and right then and there, challenges the Stache to a non-title match.  He says that if he wins, he wants to be part of the match at Wrestlemania.  Stache agrees.  Both shake hands but won’t let up.  The ref had to come in and separate them.  (19 min for the match; 25 total for the segment)

In the back, Drew the Canadian Love Machine approaches GM Max and asks if he can challenge for a title in the HWF.  He says he is intrigued by X-Division champion Sami Zayn and would like the opportunity.  Max says that a challenger for that title has not been determined yet.  He says he’ll allow it but only if Drew participates in a battle royal with the rest of the contenders for that title and he wins.  If Drew can do that, he will make the match official.

We go back to the ring for our next title match.  Kevin Owens defends North American title against Curtis Axel.  The Savior makes his way out first and sits at commentary.  For about 4 minutes, Axel looked like he was going to score another upset but then Owens just beat the shit out of him.  Owens didn’t like being in this match and he took all that out on Axel.  Finally, he decided enough was enough and hit Axel with a Package Piledriver and got the 1-2-3 (final score was 156 to 69).  Owens took his title and got into the Savior’s face but after the Savior wouldn’t back down, Owens gave up and just left.  (14 min)

Reigns is backstage talking and is interrupted by Lashley, then Angle then Orton.  Orton says he’s putting them all out and walking into Wrestlemania a winner and out the champ.

Paige (accompanied by Ravishing Raquel) vs Velvet Sky for the Women’s Title is on next.  There was a slight miscommunication as Raquel went to go trip Velvet but ended up tripping Paige instead.  That didn’t stop the champ from beating the tar out of Velvet and in only 4 minutes, she gets Sky to tap out to the PTO.  After the match, the two have words but eventually calm down and leave together.

After more pleading from the fans on behalf of Lucas Johnston (over 5000 signatures were gathered in a petition by that one lone person who thought Lucas was Red Hot), Max caves in and makes the US title match a triple threat match so it will be Dr. Red Fang vs Phat Sol vs Lucas Johnston at Wrestlemania.

It’s time for the main event.  This will be a Fatal 4 way to determine who will challenge Bray Wyatt for the CSWA World title at Wrestlemania:  Reigns vs Lashley vs Angle vs Orton.  Lashley was surprisingly a non-factor for the whole match.  The match looked more like a 3 way battle.  These 3 looked extremely strong and determined.  At one point, Angle hits Reigns with Angle Slam and goes for the pin but Orton punts him in the head and sends him to the outside.  Orton sets Reigns up for the RKO but as he goes in, Reigns nails him with a Superman punch.  Orton is down.  Roman makes the cover.  Kurt Angle is still on the outside and knows he won’t make it back in in time so he holds Orton’s leg down.  The ref makes the count 1-2-3 and Roman Reigns gets the win in 22 min.  Roman is going on to Wrestlemania to fight Bray Wyatt for the CSWA World title.  A pissed off Orton and Angle fought their way to the back (Lashley must have left and no one noticed) while Roman celebrated in the ring as the show came to an end.


Stay Tuned.  More to come.
