Hello
fans and welcome back to our newsletter.
The weather in Phoenix has creeped up into the high 1-teens and we
decided to head to cooler pastures.
Today’s show comes from Flagstaff, AZ.
The first order of business is King CJ broadcasting yet another
update. CJ says that he’s relapsed a
bit. When he bent over to tie his shoe,
he pulled his hammy. He feels that he
is at 61% but rest assured, the KING will recover. I think the fans are done caring about these
updates. Some of the fans actually
cheered when CJ said his status had slipped.
It was kind of funny.
Pyro
goes off and we have our first match of the evening. First, the circus music plays and out comes
the Muscles Trio (Muscles McGuire, Thorpe and Weasley). They are wearing their rainbow colored bull
horns and are acting like a bunch of goofballs. The kids enjoy them but the parents know
better. New music hits and the
Ambassador comes out and introduces the Huber Clan (Junior, Ferb &
Butch). Just as the Huber Clan makes it
to ringside, new music plays and out comes the Steel Curtain (Buzz and Starbuck
Steel) and Biceps Bannerman. They go and
sit at commentary. The Muscles Trio try
to complain but the ref doesn’t want to hear it. The ref informs us that this will be a 30
minute time limit match. Even with the
Ambassador’s help, the Hubers couldn’t seem to get the job done. The goofiness of the Muscles Trio just
confounded the Huber Clan. The match
ended in a time limit draw. The longer
the match went, the more if favored the Muscles Trio. After the match, the Trio confronted the
Steel Curtain & Biceps but ended up backing down before a punch was thrown. (30 min)

The
fans in Phoenix continue to make their voices heard. It looks like it’s down to a TLC vs Phoenix
Street Fight (tied at 38%) for the match type between Phat Sol and Jerry
Saunders. All other match choices seem
to be out of the running.
We
head back to the ring for our next match.
‘Red Hot’ Lucas Johnston comes out to a huge pop. He hi-fives the fans as he makes his way to
ringside. Then, on the Omegatron, there
are flashing lights and ‘The Ragin Cajun’ Rad Gumbo with MJ comes out and then
over the loudspeakers, we hear “Gumbo 7:30 means it’s Suppa time, bitch”. Gumbo is also wearing his slogan on his
shirt. Fans ask for it and Rad just
ignores them. He gets in the ring but as
Lucas approaches, Rad bails. I guess
taking on a manager has made him a bit of a coward. Finally he gets back in the ring and our
match can begin. The match was fairly
even with MJ interfering. At the 7
minute mark, MJ tried to interfere but Lucas had enough and started to chase MJ
around the ring. MJ started to hightail
it to the back but didn’t’ pay attention to the count going on in the
ring. Just when he realized how long he
was out, he rushed back to the ring only to get counted out. Rad Gumbo wins this one and the fans voiced
their displeasure. After Gumbo left, Lucas
shook hands with the fans who seemed to care more about meeting him than his
loss. (7 ½ min)
In
the back we are with Ant Graham and the Iron Cross. They talk about dominating the sport and with
every win, they come much closer to gold and then the 5th Column
will reign supreme.
We
are back to in-ring action and next up is a ladies match. Missy Chick makes her way down to the ring to
a decent pop. Her opponent, however,
gets a much better reaction as Southern Belle makes her way to the ring. Belle was just starting to kick some ass
until Missy dropped her, throat first, on the top rope. She then immediately locked in a guillotine
choke and Southern Belle had no choice but to tap out. Missy gloated her win but Belle got up and
started to ‘hulk” out and Missy, seeing what would be coming next, hightailed
it out of there. Belle eventually
simmered down and then left, disappointed.
(4 min)
The
Desperados (El Chango & Leon Teremoto) are being interviewed and they
question why a team as superior as they are have to face “those schmucks from
the Great White North” the Savior and Drew the Canadian Love Machine. El Chango says they should be challenging for
the titles, not playing school teacher to a couple of nobodies. Leon says to
never fear and they will destroy them like they do everyone else who gets in
their way.
Our
next match is underway and Phat Sol makes his way out to the ring. He gets a good pop from the crowd. The camera pans and sitting at ringside is
Phat’s nemesis Jerry Saunders. He is
sitting there in what appears to be a foul mood. Phat’s opponent for this match is the ‘Iron
Cross’ Oswald Zimmerman. The fans chant
“Ossssswald, Ossssswald” and that pisses him off. He gets in the ring and immediately attacks
Phat. For 10 minutes, Ant just sat back
and watched. Once he saw that Phat was
holding his own, he decided to get involved.
Ant gave Oswald a set of brass knuckles and he blasted Phat with them. He took his sweet time in making the cover
but Phat kicked out. I’m not sure who
was more pissed off about that…Zimmerman, his manager or Jerry Saunders. Oswald turned up the heat and Ant played a
more important role cheating where he could.
Finally, Jerry had enough. When
Ant was distracting the ref, Saunders jumped in and dropped Phat with a spike
DDT. He slid out of the ring and
left. Zimmerman then locked in an ear
wringer and then hooked the leg to get the pin at the 19 minute mark. Ant and Oswald stood in victory over a beaten
Phat and then left. Suits from the back
had to come out and assist.
On
their way to the ring, Master Bull with the Canadians are asked if they feel
threatened by the Desperados. Drew holds
up the Hardcore title and asks “Does me being in possession of this in any way
make me appear threatened? The answer to
that is no.” The Savior is standing back
chanting something and Bull takes his team to the ring.
The
Savior and Drew the Canadian Love Machine with Master Bull make their way to
the ring to a pop from the crowd. The
Desperados (El Chango & Leon Teremoto) come out and the crowd flips in
their responses. The booing is almost
deafening. El Chango doesn’t care. They
get in the ring and immediately slam the Savior’s head into the ringpost
knocking him out. Master Bull tries to
get the match stopped but Drew tells him he wants to continue so it becomes a
handicap match. El Chango and Leon took
turns beating Drew down and stopped any offense with their double teams. Leon gets in the ring and levels Drew with a
powerbomb. He makes the cover and gets
the 1-2-3. The Desperados win this one
in quick fashion (5 min). Master Bull
had been too busy tending to the Savior that by the time he realized what
happened, the match was over. He got in
the ring and helped Drew up and they helped the Savior to the back.
As
they are making their way backstage, US Champion Superstar Chic Monroe comes
out and yells at Drew to stop infringing on his time. Drew stops and tells Chic that even though
he’s the #1 contender for the US title, he is going to concentrate on the
Hardcore title and once that’s he’s done with it, he will be coming after
Chic. He helps Master Bull take the
Savior to the back.
It’s
time for the main event. US Champion
Chic Monroe is on stage but he says that there is no way in hell that the
champion goes to the ring first so he tells the announcer to do the opponent
first. Chic’s opponent for this match
is Niven Snake. This will be Chic’s
first title defense. Monroe owned this
match but Niven is just too tough to lay down.
Chic beat the holy hell out of Niven but couldn’t get the 3 count. This went on for what seems like an
eternity. Finally, Monroe hits a bicycle
kick and Niven hit a flying dropkick and then the bell rang bringing this one
to a close. Chic Monroe retains his
title on a time limit draw decision.
Monroe and Niven both leave the ring.
The
show ends and after the cameras stopped broadcasting, GM Max McGillicutty comes
out and thanks the fans in attendance for showing up and says he’s got another
treat for them that will not be advertised on TV. Max announces the 5th Column (Karl
Braun & Baron von Blood) will take on the team of the Stache and the
Wraith.
Ant
Graham comes out with 5th Column members Karl Braun and Baron von
Blood. Graham is not happy being
relegated to the “undercard”. Max tells
him to deal with it and sends them to the ring.
Next, the Wraith comes out and gets a decent pop. As he is walking down to the ring the music
changes and out comes the Stache to an even bigger pop. The Stache joins the Wraith at ringside and
they enter the ring. They shake hands as
the Wraith starts this one off. This
was an odd one. Right off the bat, the 5th Column double teamed the
Wraith for 3 minutes. The Stache kept
trying to get in the ring but every time he did, the ref would send him to the
outside and the beatdown on the Wraith continued. Ant Graham threw a chair into the ring but
the Wraith grabbed it and nailed Karl Braun with it. Just as he was ready to tag out, the Baron
would pull him back in. The Baron eye
raked the Wraith and then charged at him in the corner. The Wraith side stepped
and the Baron flew over the top rope, hit his head on the post and fell to the
outside of the ring. Ant was able to get the Baron back in before the 10
count. Karl Braun kept the Wraith in
their corner. Braun nails the Flying
Krautline and goes for a pin but the Wraith kicks out. The Wraith makes it to his feet but Ant hits
him in the head with his cane. The
Stache goes after Graham who stays just ahead of the cowboy. Braun goes for the pin again but Wraith
makes it to the ropes. He looks to his
corner to make the tag but no one is there.
Braun puts the Wraith up on the top turnbuckle but the Wraith fights him
off and Karl falls back in the ring. The
Wraith then delivers a flying elbow smash and gets the 1-2-3. The Wraith has (singlehandedly) won the match. Baron Von Blood hits him from behind with a
chair but the Stache finally gets in and fights off the 5th Column
and chases them away with the chair. The
Wraith turns around and sees the Stache holding the chair thinking he hit
him. The Wraith gets into the Stache’s
face and has words. He shoves the Stache
who falls down, stunned. The Wraith is
all pissed off and he storms off leaving the Stache wondering what the hell
just happened.
Stay
tuned as there WILL be fallout from this.
More to come.
