HWF/CSWA Wrestling Newsletter 2016 – #467 – Wrestlemania Day 1


Hello fans and Welcome to WRESTLEMANIA!  Phoenix, Arizona is our host for our 3 day extravaganza and the fans here are off the wall.  This place is sold out!  There is still such a high demand for the show that scalpers are asking (and getting) 4x the face value of the tickets.  Unbelievable.   The camera pans around and we see owners Mr. Bychowski and Mr. Meyers up in a box.  Surprisingly, next to their box is Vince McMahon and he is accompanied by Stephanie McMahon who will be taking on MMA great Rowdy Ronda Rousey tomorrow night.  Right now, “Daddy’s little princess” seems to be enjoying herself (looks like they stocked up on snacks and booze). 

Pyro goes off as GM Max McGillicutty makes his way to the stage.  “Welcome to WRRRRRRESTLEMANIA!”  The fans pop huge. “Thank you Arizona for making FanFest such a success and with each and every one here and those attending over the next two days, we will make Wrestlemania the largest success in the history of the HWF and CSWA.   We have 21, yes 21 matches over these three days and I’m sure no one will leave here disappointed.  So, without further ado, it’s time to get this party started!  But first, a word from one of tonight’s sponsors.”

M’n’M’s brand is one of the sponsors tonight and tonight, they are giving away free samples of one of their new flavors -   Chili M’n’M’s.  The Ragin Cajun Rad Gumbo appears and says that tonight’s treat is just like him…Spicy!”

The show begins with a small tribute to former superstars Balls Mahoney from ECW fame and the 9th Wonder of the World, Chyna, both of whom recently passed away. 

Pyro goes off as wrestlers make their way to the ring for our first match – the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal.  Rad Gumbo comes out and he is booed like no other and he just eats it up (and pops a few MnM’s for good measure).   New Day members Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods also snuck out (they weren’t supposed to be in this).  Just before the match could begin, the ref comments that one person is missing.  Suddenly, over the loudspeaker blares “You’ve waited a lifetime to see him once again.  I present to you… the SHOCKMASTER!”  The Shockmaster makes his way out complete with his glitter covered Stormtrooper helmet.  This time he doesn’t trip on his way to the ring (surprising because if you remember, Luke Skywalker said ‘I can’t see a thing in this helmet”).  Big Show steps forward and says “I’ve got this” and half the members in the ring go through the middle rope (as to not DQ themselves) to let these two go at it.   Big Show immediately goes for a chokeslam but the Shockmaster instead dumps Show out of the ring. UNBELIEVABLE.  Everyone then jumped back in and we had ourselves an old fashioned slobber knocker.  One by one, they went sailing over the top rope until the remainder was considerably thinned out.  The Shockmaster made it quite a ways through only to be eliminated by Uhaa Nation.  Finally, we came down to our final four – Jay Lethal, Seth Rollins, Damian Sandow and R-Truth. 

R-Truth was eliminated by Jay "Black Machismo" Lethal with DIVING DOUBLE AXE HANDLE - Throw Out Of Ring after 2 minutes
Damian Sandow was eliminated by Jay "Black Machismo" Lethal with 
THROW OUT OF RING after 2 minutes
Seth Rollins was eliminated by Jay "Black Machismo" Lethal with 
THROW OUT OF RING after 7 minutes

Jay "Black Machismo" Lethal wins the Battle Royal!!!  He is presented with the trophy (which by the way is bigger than him) but his celebration is cut short when the Shockmaster makes his way back out and attacks Lethal beating him down.  The Shockmaster then did something shocking…he picked up the trophy and smashed it on Lethal destroying it.  (I can hear it now “GOOD GOD, THAT MAN HAS A FAMILY)  The Shockmaster stands over Lethal and kicks parts of the trophy from the ring.  I’m sure he’ll get fined for that.

We cut to the back where roving reporter Clarkus Kentus is interviewing Shane McMahon.  Shane O’Mac says that he’s been hardcore before hardcore was trendy.  Shane says that El Chango and the Stache will both leave tonight empty handed and Shane will stand tall as the new Hardcore Champion.

We go back to the ring for our second match.  The Miz comes out first and is booed.  The Phenomenal AJ Styles comes out next and gets a huge pop.  As Styles entered the ring, the Miz bolted.  AJ posed for the crowd before Miz finally re-entered the ring.  The bell rang just as Miz was jawjacking with a fan.  He turned right around and into the Styles Clash.  AJ goes for the pin but only gets 2.  Miz hits a basement dropkick and a legsweep facebuster.  AJ hits a clothesline and both go over the top rope.  AJ takes the Miz to the ramp and nails another Styles Clash.  AJ slides back in the ring just before the ref counted to 10.  He reached it and Miz didn’t make it so he ends up getting counted out.  AJ Styles gets the win (3 ½ min).  Miz recovers and is pissed off as he moves grumpily to the back.  AJ then left.

In the back, reporter Larry Morton says that North American Champion Kevin Owens has his hands full with Canada’s own The Savior.  Owens calls the Savior a chump and he’ll send him back to whatever gutter he crawled out of.”  Owens then walked off.

Our next match is nothing short of an old fashioned Street Fight but this one has consequences.  The loser of this match is out of the HWF and CSWA.  Former members of “the Band” Dirk ‘the Pick’ Devon takes on the Axe.  Dirk comes out first accompanied by Diva’s Champion Cactus Jackie.  Both are booed heavily but neither seem to care.  The Axe comes out and receives a pop (mostly from those hoping to see him beat the crap out of Dirk.  Right off the bat, Dirk hits the Bass Body Avalanche but Axe sends him to the outside.  He follows and Dirk nails another Bass Body Avalanche but Axe drops him with the Axe.  Both men fought hard on the outside of the ring (all sides)  and then Axe hit Dirk with a backdrop onto the bleachers.  Dirk looked hurt but he kept on going.  He battled back and dropped Axe with the Fender Five Arm.  Both men make it back into the ring and Dirk nails another Five Arm.  He goes for the pin but Axe kicks out.  Dirk goes for the Coda Claw hold but Axe throws beer in his face blinding him.  Axe tried for a headlock but Dirk slipped right out of it but got hit by a backbreaker.  Axe makes the cover and the ref counted 1…2…3.  The Axe wins the match and Dirk Devon is now out of a job.  Cactus Jackie helped her man to the back while Axe celebrates.  (14 ½ min)

Clarkus Kentus is with the Savior and asks for his thoughts about what Kevin Owens said.  The Savior says that Owens is just confused and doesn’t know what he’s talking about.  He says he’s there to “save” Kevin from his demons (which he refers to as the North American title).

Elsewhere in the back, a defeated Dirk Devon and a pissed off Cactus Jackie approach GM Max.  Jackie complains that Axe used illegal tactics (it was “anything goes” rules).  Max tells Cactus Jackie that the only way Dirk can keep his job is for her to retain the Diva’s title.  No problem she says and she and Dirk leave.

Our fourth match of the night is underway.  Organ music plays as the Savior makes his way down to the ring.  The fans just aren’t sure how to take this guy so some cheer and some quietly boo.  The North American Champ Kevin Owens comes out next.  He gets in the ring and asks for a mic.  He says he wants this to be a “Concession Stand Brawl” match.  The Savior agrees and the bell rings immediately.  The Savior immediately hits a powerbomb and goes for the quick pin but Kevin is up at one.  He rolls out of the ring and grabs a fan’s beer and throws it into the Savior’s face blinding him.   Kevin chokes him on the ropes and nails a pop up powerbomb. He goes for the pin but Savior kicks out at 2.  The two then began fighting through the crowd and right into the concession stand area.  Owens connected with a fireman’s carry gutbuster and tried for a pin but to no avail.  The Savior then got up and as Kevin charged him going for a headscissors, Savior turns it into a powerbomb putting him through one of the concession stands.  The ref makes his way over and as the Savior makes the cover, the ref slapped the ground 3 times and awarded the match to the NEW NORTH AMERICAN CHAMPION The Savior.  The fans gathered around him as the Savior stood proud holding his new title high.  (9 min)

Triple Crown Champion Bray Wyatt is with Hardcore champ El Chango.  El Chango tells Bray that he knew he could do it…he could defeat the Stache to represent the Wyatt family like no other.  Bray tells him that he should not underestimate the Stache; just like he is not underestimating King CJ.  Bray then looks at the camera and begins.

"I never sleep but I'm always dreaming. Lately, I've been dreaming of you, CJ. You and I will be sharing this war in Phoenix, but off in the distance there is a woman's voice. It's very faint, I can't make out what it says, but as we fight, and as we come closer to her, I can hear her. She's telling me that she loves me. She's telling me how proud she is of me. Just like that, I wake up, and I still see you, CJ. But now I see you for what you've become. You're in a chair, sitting there a withered old man, lonely and filled with regrets. We have entered the bowels of Carcosa, friend. But don't you worry about a thing. I'll make it quick. Follow the buzzards."

Larry Morton is backstage with King CJ.  CJ says that tonight, he fulfills another dream.  First he held the Hardcore title and then became King.  He says that winning the World title tonight will be the final jewel in his crown.

We head back to the ring for our next match which is a triple threat match for the Hardcore title.  First, out comes the former champion, the Stache.  He gets a pop from the crowd.  Next, Shane Mc Mahon comes out and gets a huge pop.   Finally, the champ, El Chango makes his way out.  We are told this will be ECW Hardcore Rules.  Just as the bell ring, Shane grabs a chair blasting both the Stache and El Chango with it injuring them.   He then proceeded to beat down on both men simultaneously.  After 3 minutes of this, Leon Teremoto walks down carrying a chain.  El Chango and the Stache have recovered.  Leon throws the chain towards El Chango but the Stache intercepts it and blasts Shane with it sending him out of the ring.  This puts the current champ vs the former champ.  The two trade blows and moves until Shane rejoins the fray.  They all beat the crap out of each other for another solid 12 min.   We pick things back up at the 17 min mark.

HOLY COW.  The Stache has regained the HARDCORE title in a match that says it all.   After the match, The Stache shook hands with Shane McMahon.  He also extended his hand to El Chango who slapped it away and walked off.  The Stache celebrated with the fans before heading to the back.  (21 min)

We cut to the back where Tyson Kidd sees Rad Gumbo backstage talking to/flirting with some Divas and walks over and makes fun of his accent.  Tyson then comments that he’s got a title shot and Rad’s come up “a little short”.  Gumbo then beats him down and ends up smacking him with a serving tray.  “Dat’s how you get stuff done in the bayou.”  GM Max McGillicutty comes over and complains that Rad just ruined the IC title match.  “You know what, you’re wresting in his place tonight.  Go get ready.”  Max walks off and Gumbo says “Rad.”

Clarkus Kentus is with Vince McMahon, his daughter Stephanie McMahon, Dixie Carter (TNA) and Carey Silkin (Ring of Honor ambassador) (aka the Board) up in their suite and Stephanie steps forward and tells Clarkus that the owners and Max best have an answer for them or it will get real, really fast.

We go back to the ring for our Intercontinental Title match.  The Ragin Cajun Rad Gumbo comes out first and is booed heavily.  Once again, he soaks it in.  IC Champ Magnum Kone comes out next to a huge pop with Haagen and Daas who give out free ice cream to the fans.  We know who the fans want to win this one and it sure isn’t our Bayou Buddy. Rad charges at Magnum and then gets hurled over the top rope.  He stews on the outside before climbing back in at the 8 count.  The Cottommouth Clutch from Rad is met with the push pop (legsweep) from Kone. More back and forth action between the two takes place until Rad locks Kone in the New Orleans Crab.  Kone fights through it and makes it to the ropes to break the hold.  Kone fights off the pain and after trading blows, he nails the Popsicle (piledriver).  He makes the cover but Rad kicks out at 2.  Kone locks in a headlock and tries for the pin again but Rad kicks out.  Rad fights back and hits two consecutive Gator Rolls but is unable to capitalize on it.  Kone nails a slam and tries for the pin but Rad again makes it to the ropes.  Kone goes for the drumstick (armbar) but Rad reverses it and sends Kone to the outside.  He follows him out and then smashes his back against the steel post.  He throws Kone back in and then locks in the New Orleans Crab again.  Kone, in tremendous pain, taps out.  Rad Gumbo has won the match and has become the NEW INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPION.   Kone’s accompaniment of Haagen and Daas help the former champ from the ring while Rad celebrates amongst the booing from the crowd.  He eventually takes his title and leaves.  (18 ½ min)

Larry Morton immediately greets the new IC champion has he makes his way through the curtain.  Morton says that Gumbo must be the luckiest man on the planet right now. Gumbo says that luck only got him noticed by the CSWA and HWF.  It was pure skill that he stands before you now as the new IC champion.  Rad pushes Morton out of his way and leaves.  The camera follows Rad as he’s leaving and he enters a limo packed with people going to hang out with the new champ.

It’s time for tonight’s main event.  Royalty music blares through the speakers as King CJ, sitting in his throne, is carried to the ring on the shoulders of men.  CJ waves to the fans as they cheer for him.  He is set down and he then walks to the ring and as he enters, he saunters around the ring soaking in the cheers from the fans.  Music changes abruptly as the Triple Crown Champion Bray Wyatt makes his way out to defend the HWF World title.   This is Last Man Standing rules. Bray starts off with a scoop powerslam.  CJ nails a dropkick and Bray busts him open with a roll of quarters.  CJ goes down but is back on his feet by 8.  CJ hurls Bray out of the ring and he takes his time re-entering.  Bray nails a lifting side slam and CJ locks in a guillotine choke.  Bray barely makes it to the ropes to break the hold.  Bray is starting to look worried.   Desperado members El Chango and Leon Teremoto walk down to ringside.  CJ goes for a handstand headlock but it is reversed by Bray who whacks CJ with a steel chair handed to him by Leon.  CJ makes it to his feet by the 7 count. CJ battles back hitting an inverted bodyslam and flying dropkicks.  CJ starts to take the match to Bray. Leon distracts the ref as El Chango removes the cover of the turnbuckle exposing the metal brackets.  Bray then smashes CJ into the exposed turnbuckle and CJ collapses.  It looks like CJ is out but he miraculously makes it to his feet.  He motions to Bray to bring more.  He catches Bray with flying dropkicks.  Bray reverses a guillotine choke and catapults CJ into the steel post.  CJ is down.  The ref counts 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9…10.  King CJ is counted out and the match is awarded to the man who is STILL the HWF World Champion Bray Wyatt.   (15 min)  CJ has nothing to be ashamed of in this match as he went toe to toe with the Triple Crown champ.  An exhausted Bray steps aside as the Desperados jump in the ring and beat down on CJ.  The Hardcore champion the Stache runs down.  He congratulates Bray but then attacks Leon and El Chango.  Bray tries to get involved but Stache sends him to the outside.  CJ recovers to see who came to his aid.  He makes it to his feet and the two stare down at each other.   The Stache extends his hand in thanks and King CJ looks to the fans first and as they pop for them both, CJ shakes it.  The Stache raises his arm and then leaves the ring so CJ can interact with the fans. 


With that, tonight’s show comes to an end.  Stay Tuned as tomorrow presents Day 2 of Wrestlemania!!!
