HCW Wrestling Newsletter 2016 #485


Hello fans and welcome back to our newsletter. We are told that none other than the HASHATG King CJ will be making a live appearance in today’s show.  I wonder what he’s going to say now. 

Backstage, manager Ant Graham arrives with the 5th Column and Dr. Red Fang.  The 5th Column head in and Graham says to reporter Larry Morton that Fang is deserving of a title match…for a title that this vicious person needs…the Hardcore title. Fang threatens champion Drew the Canadian Love Machine with bodily harm if he doesn’t accept.  “What kind of name is Drew the Canadian Love Machine anyway?”  He turns to his manager and says “I’m still bitter about not being featured on the cover of the HCW magazine.”  Ant says once Fang wins the Hardcore title, he will be and that is a promise.  Fang leaves after yelling “Vampire Lunges for Everyone!”

The show kicks off with our TV champion Ivan Dragovich defending his title against the Crocodile Hunter.  Croc comes out first and is cheered.  Next, though, is not the champion but The Elitist Reid Rothchild.  He goes down to sit at commentary.  TV champion Ivan Dragovich and his manager Ant Graham come out to the booing from the crowd.  Neither man cares.  Ivan goes on to beat the holy hell out of Croc but to his credit, Croc keeps kicking out. Finally, Reid gets up from commentary and chases Ant Graham from the ring.  Ivan gets pissed and turns around right into the Croc’s Throne.  The Hunter makes the cover, hooks the leg and the ref counts 1…2…3!  The Crocodile Hunter has just defeated Ivan Dragovich to become the NEW TV CHAMPION!  (8 min) This of course does not sit well with Ivan who immediately attacks Croc and locks him in the Accolade.  He yells for Croc to give him an immediate rematch which Croc, in his trapped state, does.  Ivan releases him and yells for the bell to be rung.  Before the match can begin, GM Max McGillicutty comes out and adds a stipulation.  “Since these matches have a 20 minute time limit and you lost in 8 that only leaves 12 minutes left.  If you do not win the match in 12 minutes, you will not get another match.  However, if you wait, you can get a match with a full time limit.  The choice is yours.”  Ivan says he wants the match right now.  Max nods and the bell rings again.  Ant Graham runs back down to ringside.  He tries to help Ivan but Reid, still present, keeps him from interfering. At the 9 minute mark, Croc was down and Ant was going to interfere.  Reid got back up and shoved Ant into the ref.  The ref immediately turned and disqualified Ivan for outside interference.  The Crocodile Hunter is victorious and is now officially the TV Champion.  (9 min).   After the match, Ivan and Reid had a stare down but Ivan backed down at the insistence of Ant.  Ant whispered as they headed to the back “Trust me, there will be another time and place to put him out.”  (17 min for the matches, 22 for the full segment)

Backstage, Dr. Red Fang (on his own which is not good) confronts both the Hardcore Champion Drew the Canadian Love Machine and Drew’s opponent tonight 5th Column member Karl Braun.   Fang said that with him teaming up with Braun tonight would result in a win for the 5th Column.  Both men attacked Drew and the Savior and the Fiend came in for the save.  Drew said he would accept adding in Fang into tonight’s championship match.

Music hits and out comes the returning Hashtag – King CJ.  CJ does his (somewhat egotistical) wave to the crowd.  CJ takes a mic and proceeds to update the fans on his status. He claims to be at 98%.   It is expected that the doctors clear him to return at the next show.  CJ Says he is going balls to the wall and will issue a challenge to World Champion The Axe for his first match back.  CJ says he wants his in ring return to be a career highlight. 

GM Max McGillicutty comes out and says that most people don’t wrestle at better than 98% so he needs to man up and get in the ring.  Max says King CJ is wrestling tonight.  The King interrupts him.  “What look here Mr GM...Mr Shot caller…first of all the hashtag IS NOT at 100..he has been giving 110% against the top talent in all of sports entertainment...now your asking me to hurt myself against who...some joe schmoe, mr jackass in tights ...no thanks.  Look, the king.. the hashtag...the FRANCHISE is embarrassed for you and when im 100% the hashtag is more than willing to whoop is ass from cornor to cornor…but only for gold…so next show, I challenge you, AXE, for that world title.  Franchise out.”  (Drops the mic).  King CJ walks off.

Backstage, 5th Column member Karl Braun accepts the challenge from Biceps for the next show and it could very well have a title on the line once he defeats the Hardcore champion tonight.

Reid Rothchild comes out and challenges Handsome Hernandez for his spot for the TV title.  Hernandez comes out and says that Reid is a multi-time loser and doesn’t deserve this match.  He says he’ll oblige anyway.

Master Bull comes out and joins Reid at the ring.  Hernandez comes out and once he hits the ring, the match begins.  Reid owned this match and try as he could, Master Bull just couldn’t get Reid to concentrate enough on the match at hand especially after Ivan Dragovich came out.  The match ends up going to a 20 minute time limit draw and Ivan attacked Reid right after the match.  He locked Reid in the Accolade and refused to let go.  Master Bull got physical and had to hit Ivan with a chair to the back just to get him to let go.  Ivan stood over Reid and then left.  (20 min for the match; 25 for the segment)

Outback Oscar appears and has a message for Terra Ryzing.  “Terra, during our match, I was in a very precarious position getting caught in the hangman’s noose between the ropes and instead finding a way to help me out of it, you added more leverage thereby trying to end my career.  I’m standing here so obviously you failed.  You want to make a name for yourself by attacking me?  Well guess what…there is a ring with a ref and 30 minutes to prove what you think you have in the way of talent.  Bring it and I’ll send you back to ‘parts unknown’ or wherever you are from.”

We head back to the ring for our next match.   First, Jesse California comes out to a decent pop from the crowd.  Next, his opponent Sonic Blade comes out and he too gets a pop.  Both men are in the ring and they shake hands before the match.  On the line is Jesse’s world title shot.  Sonic is in the top 10 for the US title but I guess he has higher aspirations.   Jesse was all over the place and try as he could, he was not able to slow down the speedster.  Sonic tried on a few occasions to slow the pace down but Jesse wouldn’t let it.  As the match progressed, Jesse dropped Sonic with multiple jumping elbow drops.  Jesse then heard the crowd chanting for him so he had to stop, climb the turnbuckle and acknowledge the fans response.  He soaked it in and then turned and jumped back into the ring…right into the Alhambra Attack (tackle) from Sonic Blade.  Sonic cinched in the leg hook and 3 seconds later, Sonic Blade was declared the winner.  The fans applauded and Sonic extended a hand to Jesse and helped him up.  Both men shook hands and then celebrated with the fans before leaving.  (9 min)

US Champion Chic Monroe is backstage even though he is not wrestling tonight.  Chic comments that Drew is a horrible representation of a champion even if it is the hardcore title.  He blasts Drew’s wrestling ability and the thought that Drew is even worthy of a shot at the US title is just unthinkable.  Chic says that anytime Drew wants to go back to Canada with his tail tucked between his legs, he’d be happy to hold the door open for him.

We head back to the ring for our next match.  The Gold Standard Bruce Biltmore w/ the Hollywod Star heads to the ring first.  The music changes and Master Bull comes out first and introduces the Savior.  The lights change and the Savior makes his way to the ring.  Bull takes his robe as the Savior enters the ring.  The Savior starts off strong but then gets tossed out of the ring.  While out there, Master Bull provides some words of wisdom and sends the Savior back in the ring.  Bruce hits a jumping hip attack but the Savior levels him with the holy headbutt.  The Savior makes the cover and surprisingly gets the 1-2-3.  The Hollywood Star jumped in the ring only to be met with the laying of the hands (rapid fists) and then dropped with a powerbomb.  Both the Hollywood Star and Bruce Biltmore slunk up the ramp while the Savior celebrated before leaving.  (4 min)

GM Max McGillicutty says he has a surprise in store for the fans tonight.  He says that former friends/tag team partners El Chango and the Stache would end their feud here tonight.  Max says he wants to see a resolution to their feud so this match will be a falls count anywhere match.  Max says that the Stache will have his hands full with the Wraith soon enough and El Chango has said that he and Leon want to chase the tag team titles. This match will be our main event.

Next up we have The Wraith vs Wilber Townsend.  The Wraith comes out first and is booed. Wilber then comes out and is accompanied by the Huber Clan (Junior, Butch and Ferb – there is no Turnip).   The fans are really not sure who to cheer for so they just boo both wrestlers.  The Ambassador just stood back and watched the match.  The Wraith looked slightly the more aggressor much to the dismay of the Ambassador. Both men hit high profile moves but neither got a pin.  At one point, the Ambassador tried to get involved.  After Wilber hit the GTS on the Wraith, the Ambassador distracted the ref.  However, young Turnip Townsend ran down, climbed to the top rope and nailed Wilber with a missile dropkick.  He then took off into the crowd.  The Wraith climbed to the top and hit a flying elbow smash.  The ref turned just as the Wraith was making the cover and he counted to 3.  The Huber Clan rushed the ring but the Wraith just narrowly escaped.  The Wraith is victorious but the fans don’t care.  (15 min)

Raquel has a pre-taped message for the fans (it actually looked like it was chopped and pasted together).  She apologizes for letting her husband, her advisor, her fans and herself down by not winning the title.  She says that this loss will make her stronger and she will be back in the top 10 or she will quit.  The video is then shut down and Lady Hermann makes her way out laughing. She says that Raquel is all “boo hoo” and could not stand up to a professional such as her.   She continues to mock her until Raquel comes out and confronts her in the ring.  Raquel says that the video was not real and that Lady Hermann and the Queen’s Court are behind this.  Raquel challenges Lady Hermann for her spot for the Ladies title but Hermann doesn’t answer and actually leaves the ring in pretty quick fashion.  GM Max McGillicutty comes out and tells Lady Hermann the match WILL happen.

It is time for our co-main event.  First, El Chango makes his way to ringside.   Next, the Stache comes out and is cheered.  The two square off for what could be the final time.  It is time to settle the bad blood between them and move on.  This one the Stache was much more the aggressor and it looked like a few times that El Chango didn’t want any more of this.  The end came after the Stache hit El Chango with the Whiplash but the Wraith ran down and hurled the Stache from the ring.  He slammed him into the ringside barrier a few times and then when he looked to be out, he handcuffed him to the guardrail so he could not get up.  The Wraith then pulled El Chango out of the ring and threw him on top of the Stache.  The ref went over to count but struggle as he might, the Stache could not get up.  The ref counted 1…2…3 and awarded the match to El Chango.  The Wraith took off and after being uncuffed, the Stache took off backstage.  El Chango struggled to his feet but then in from the crowd came the Smashers.  They attacked El Chango and threw him back in the ring.  They nailed him with the Doomsday Device.  Leon Teremoto ran down only to meet the same fate as his tag team partner.  The Smashers stood victorious over the Desperados and finally left.   (12 ½ min for the match; 18 min for the segment)

Max comes back out and says that the Desperados will in fact get the next title shot at the Smashers.

Now, it is time for the main event.  First, Ant Graham comes out and introduces 5th Column member Karl Braun.  He then brings out Dr. Red Fang.  Graham tells Fang he has to do whatever it takes to help Braun defeat the Canadian Love Machine.  He follows them down as Drew’s music hits and the Hardcore champ makes his way down.  Drew controlled the majority of the match fending off attacks from both Dr. Red Fang and Karl Braun.  The match went on for about 15 minutes when Drew hurled Karl Braun into the guardrail busting him open and what appeared knocking him out.  Fang then tried to hurl Drew into the third row but Drew was successful in nullifying it.  However, Chic Monroe came down and he started battling Drew.  Fang looked around and saw Karl out cold on the floor.  He ran over and made the cover.  The ref counted 1…2…3.  Dr. Red Fang has just become the NEW HARDCORE CHAMPION!  Fang celebrated in the ring until the Fiend ran down and he and Fang fought all the way to the back. 

That is all we have for now.  Stay tuned for more action.
