HWF/CSWA Wrestling Newsletter 2016 – #470 – Is this the end of an era?


Hello fans and welcome back…to what’s left of our newsletter.  Well, that was a hell of a bombshell Stephanie McMahon and her husband Triple H dropped on the HWF/CSWA owners Mr. Bychowski, Mr. Meyers and GM Max McGillicutty.  With the owners in scramble mode to see how they can salvage their business, the three of them met behind closed doors for 24 hours.  Earlier today, they received a visitor.  It was none other than former GM Master Bull.  Bull presents the owners with a reimbursement check paying back all the money he embezzled (to cover his strip club habit) with interest.  Bull says that he understands the owner’s reluctance to believe what he says going forward but he says he’s cleaned up his act.  Bull tells Max he’s not here for the GM job but thinks he could contribute a lot to help them get out of the predicament they’ve been forced into.  Max thinks his input could be good for business. Former GM Hulk Hogan also showed up and he presented the owners with a check to reimburse what he skimmed.  Hogan says he’s recently come into money (some lawsuit or whatever) but says that he has no interest in resuming his post at all.  He shakes hands with everyone and then eventually leaves.  Management knows they need to act FAST to preserve what they have left.  Gardinia Blue, our forensic accountant/investigator (and legal expert) also joined in.  Master Bull was then called in to join the management team for another closed door session.

Clarkus Kentus just so happened to be onsite picking up his check when he was called into the meeting.  The owners tell Clarkus that he will be given exclusive information but it needs to be delivered at the right time and place.  Clarkus agrees to wait onsite for the details and leaves the room.

While the meeting was going on, the owners received a call from Vince McMahon.  Vince goes on to explain that Stephanie took charge of the contract negotiating between the Board and the HWF/CSWA and it was her and Triple H’s idea, not Vince or the Boards, to jack up the fees to 400%.  Vince was really pissed that Stephanie and HHH did this (he lost out on a LOT of royalties) and says he is revoking their “authority” and they will not have any say-so in any future dealings between the Board and the HWF/CSWA (or what’s left of them).  Vince says that he’s open to negotiations when the owners want to meet.  He apologizes for the fiasco that ensued.

After a few more hours of brainstorming, everyone emerged.  Mr. Bychowski provided Clarkus Kentus the details of what has been completed.  He is given permission to break the news to the public.

Here is what has been decided:

·         The new federation is called HCW (Heritage Championship Wrestling). 

·         Max McGillicutty will remain as GM

·         All HWF and CSWA champions will obviously be stripped of their HWF and CSWA titles and during the month of May, tournaments will be held to crown all new champions. The only person who gets to keep his “title” is King CJ.

·         There will be a World, US, TV, Ladies, Hardcore and Tag Team Champions.  The 6 man will become a trophy (like the Crockett Cup).  Tournaments will take place with the final 4 in each category fighting at “Independence Day Beatdown” to crown new champs.

·         No talent will be able to hold more than one title at a time; i.e. a Tag Team Champ cannot hold a singles title.

·         Stables that have more than 2 people in it will be able to enact the “Freebird Rule” (any two members of a team can represent and defend the belts).

·         Moving forward, all PPV names have to change. 
o   June will now host Independence Day Beatdown (formerly Great American Bash);
o   August will be Reign of Champions (formerly Clash of the Champions);
o   October will become Halloween Scream;
o   December will become Apocalypse (formerly Starcade). 
o   February and April 2017 PPV’s will be determined in the future.

·         HCW will have their “home” located in Phoenix, AZ.  They will limit their tours to the 4 Corners States but with agreements TBD with other states, they could potentially host shows on the road. 

·         The owners, Max and Master Bull will all head out for two weeks to find new talent to enhance the roster because there is no way they can do this with the limited staff left.  Acquisitions cannot be pilfered from major institutions.  There is a sense of urgency as the new brand will kick off mid-month.

·         For the first month after the creation of HCW, there will be one televised show and the second show will be a “Let’s get to know…” segment where we get to know the newest additions to our roster.


That is all we have for now.  We will return in two weeks for the birth of the HCW – Heritage Championship Wrestling.  Stay Tuned.   

RIP HWF and CSWA.  Thanks for all the great memories.
