HCW Wrestling Newsletter 2016 #501 – PPV fallout

Hello fans and welcome back to our newsletter.  It’s been a week since the PPV and as expected, there have been a lot of grumblings going on and where there’s smoke, there usually is fire.   Before we get into all that, the show kicks off with pyro and a familiar face comes out on stage.  It’s Southern Belle.  She gets a welcome back chant from the crowd and she heads to the ring.

Belle asks for a mic and tells the fans that it is great to be back in the HCW.  After some soul searching, she decided this is where she needs to be.  She says that although she’s back, she will not be returning to the ring.  Fans chant “one more match” and she says “maybe, one day” but for now, she is back in a manager capacity.     Over the next few weeks, she will scout the Ladies division to see who she wants to lead to glory.  She has her eye on someone already but wants to see how things play out.  Belle says that the search begins now.

She exits the ring and goes to sit at commentary as our first match of the night kicks off.   Kimberly Kiccass comes out first to a decent reaction.  Next, Taylor Bella comes out and she is accompanied by Madame Jade who is on crutches.  Jade is trying to talk to Taylor but Taylor looks focused and ready for her match.  Taylor did well for the first 6 minutes of the match but finally Madame Jade yelling at her “I just want to talk” finally got to her and Kimberly took advantage.   Kimberly took the match to Taylor and started making headway.  Jade, realizing that Taylor would not talk to her until the match was over decided to step in.  Kimberly hit Taylor with the Christo but Taylor hits her with a dropkick.  At the same time, Jade pulled down the top rope and Kimberly went sailing over it and crashed to the floor.  The ref made the count but Kimberly couldn’t get back in in time and got counted out.  Taylor wins this one by countout.  Jade says “Now will you talk to me?” but Taylor just made her way to the back and Jade slowly followed.  (10 ½ min)

Backstage, Dr. Red Fang and his manager Ant Graham are complaining that the Fiend cheated (wait, what…in a hardcore match?) and he demands a rematch.  Fang says that he will destroy all opponents until he gets his title shot.  “Vampire Lunges for Everyone!” Fang exclaims.

We head back to the ring for our next match.  Leiton and Niven Snake make their way out to the ring first.  They are then followed out by the Ambassador who announces their competitors are Phat Sol and ‘Red Hot’ Lucas Johnston.  The trio walk to the ring and get ready for action.  For the first 8 minutes of the match, Phat and Lucas owned the ring.  The Ambassador provided what they needed to tear into their opponents but after a miscommunication between Phat and Lucas, the Snake’s took over.  They took turns isolating their opponents and started to make a comeback.  They could not get a pin however as Phat or Lucas continued to make the save.  As the clock was running down, Niven hit a leaping clothesline but the Ambassador ended up tripping him.  He then handed Lucas a foreign object.  Just before he could use it though, the bell rang bringing this one to a draw finish.   Phat got in the ring and took the object from Lucas and used it to bust open both Niven and Leiton.  The Ambassador applauded Phat’s ingenuity and raised the arms of both men before leaving.  (20 min draw)

Back in Max’s office, El Chango walks in and tells Max that his tag team partner Leon Teremoto needed the night off so he wants a singles match tonight.  Max says he will make it happen.

We’re back in the ring for our next match.  First, Magnum Kone, the King of Cones makes his way to the ring accompanied by Haagen and Daas and they hand out ice cream to the fans at ringside.  They are interrupted by Wilber Townsend who calls this a pathetic excuse to cater to the masses.  Wilber asks Magnum if he thinks the fans really give a damn about him or if they’re on the gravy train because of the free frozen treats.  Wilber pushes enough of Magnum’s buttons to get him to agree to an impromptu match.   Wilber did not play by normal rules and he cheated everywhere he could and then played innocent when he got caught.  We think that what Wilber told him really got the King of Cones thinking and began second guessing himself.  He did managed to make it to the 20 minute mark and after nullifying a short arm clothesline from Wilber, the bell rang.  Magnum didn’t get a second to rest as ‘the Ragin Cajun’ Rad Gumbo ran in from the audience and dropped the King of Cones.  Gumbo had a brief stare down with Wilber but posed over Magnum.  He then dropped a piece of paper on Magnum.  We got a look at it and it was a contract for the two of them to meet in a Hell in a Cell.  Interesting.  (20 min draw)

We cut to the back where Clarkus Kentus is interviewing Ivan Dragovich.  Ivan says he is declaring war on Ant Graham and the 5^th Column.  When asked if he was going to seek out help, Ivan replied that he realizes he may not be trustworthy based on prior actions so if he has to do this solo, he will.

We head back to the ring for our next match.  First, the Wraith comes out to booing from the fans.  Next, all dressed up in crocodile gear and makeup comes the Crocodile Hunter.  He gets a big pop and that infuriates the Wraith.   Wraith attacks Croc before the bell.  Croc immediately shrugged it off and took the match hard to the Wraith.  Wraith could not believe the ferocity coming from Croc.   At one point, he thought he had enough and tried to leave but Croc followed him out of the ring and then whipped him into the stairs.  Wraith went tumbling over the steps and then was seen holding his ankle.  Croc threw him back in the ring and the Wraith tried to beg him off but a moment’s hesitation was met with a low blow.  The Wraith laughed until Croc pulled Wraith’s leg out from beneath him and locked in an ankle lock.  The Wraith screamed in pain and to avoid further injury, he tapped out.   The Crocodile Hunter wins this one.  He celebrates briefly and then leaves.  The Wraith is booed as he limps to the back.  (10 min).

Back in his office, GM Max McGillicutty announces the main event will have ‘The Elitist’ Reid Rothchild defending the TV title against the “dark storm” in Travis Ryzing.

El Chango makes his way to the ring and awaits his opponent.  Much to his surprise, out comes the Shockmaster.  El Chango laughs a bit out loud and then motions for the Shockmaster to get in the ring with him.  El Chango was surprised when the Shockmaster went toe to toe with him for 9 minutes.  He decided to try something different.  He went for the Phoenix Splash but it got reversed and Shockmaster tried for some elbow smashes in the corner but that too was reversed and El Chango dropped him with a flying spinning heel kick.  He then picked him up and nailed the Diamond Dust.  He went for the pin and got the 1-2-3.  El Chango wins this one.  (11 min)

Backstage, the World Champion the Stache makes an appearance and talks with Larry Morton.  The Stache talks about how King CJ, afraid of defending his title, found a reason not to wrestle him.  He continued talking about the high-end talent in Outback Oscar, Sonic Blade and the Axe.  He says that most likely his first title defense will be against one of these men.  When asked about the Wraith, Stache said “I’m not through with him but he is NOT even remotely qualified to fight for this title.”  The segment ended with the Stache posing with his title.

It is time for our Main event.  First, the challenger Travis ‘Dark Storm’ Ryzing makes his way to the ring to a small buzz from the crowd.  Music hits and the fans pop as Master Bull, Ravishing Raquel and the TV Champion Reid Rothchild make their way down to the ring.  GM Max McGillicutty comes out and says he wants this to be a best of 3 falls, 30 minute time limit match.  Reid immediately locks in the Figure Four Reid Lock but Travis makes it to the ropes.  Reid turns and gloats but then gets caught up in a Power Full Nelson.  Reid freaks out and instead of waving, he (inadvertently) tapped the arm of Travis and the ref took that as a tap out and awarded the fall to Travis.   Master Bull started freaking out on the outside of the ring.   A very pissed off Reid turned up the heat and 8 minutes later, the Reid Leg drop scored him a 3 count.  Now both men are tied at 1 fall each.  Just as soon as the bell rang, Reid went in and DESTROYED Travis.  He beat him from pillar to post and everything in between.  He barely let the kid up for a breath of air.  Reid consistently went for the leg/knee of Travis trying to weaken it.  Finally, when he thought the damage was done, he locked in the Figure Four Reid Lock and Travis tapped out almost immediately.  Reid wins the match and retains his title.  Master Bull and Ravishing Raquel join him in the ring and celebrate the win. 

After the match Raquel asks for a mic and states she almost cashed in at the PPV but chose not to only because she didn’t want the Duchess to complain about losing after fighting one match already.  When she does cash in, she will expect the champ to be at the top of her game and that way when she wins, the Duchess can’t say crap.  Eventually they all leave.

GM Max comes back out and says that the next show will be a Labor Day super show and says that he will host ‘open tryouts’ for anyone who wants to try for a shot at a contract.  We look forward to seeing if anyone wants to give it a shot.  Also, he says that Magnum Kone has signed the contract and at the super show, Magnum vs Rad Gumbo in a Hell in the Cell will be our Main Event.

Stay Tuned.  More action to follow.

HCW Wrestling Newsletter 2016 #500 – Reign of Champions PPV – Denver, CO

Hello fans and welcome back to our newsletter.  Tonight’s show, our PPV titled “Reign of Champions” which is also our milestone #500^th issue.  Our event is sold out here in Denver, Colorado but we are coming to you worldwide on PPV via your TV.  

Many of the wrestlers and Hollywood superstars who were at the Hall of Fame ceremony on Friday also seem to be here.  The Owners are here and they are up in their box.  Pyro goes off and our PPV is underway.

GM Max McGillicutty comes out and thanks the fans for being here live as well as tuning in all over the world.  He tells us that since newsletters were started being published to cover the HWF and CSWA, this one right here will be the 500^th issue.  The fans pop.  He promises to make this a show that the fans will not forget.  He adds that all matches tonight will get 30 minute time limits.  To get things kicked off, we go to pre-show taped comments from the competitors in our first two matches.

Dr. Red Fang, Hardcore Champion, is with his manager Ant Graham.  Fang exclaims “Vampire Lunges for everyone.”  Ant tells Fang to save it for the ring and his opponent tonight.  Graham tells the Fiend that he bit off more than he can chew and questions how he will be able to survive.

We cut over to the Fiend.  He tells us tonight is his time to shine.  He achieved some fame when teaming/feuding with the Miz but tonight, he has the opportunity to acquire a championship belt.   Win or lose, he will make sure Dr. Fang remembers this night for a long time.

The World tag team champions the Smashers are with MJ.  They once again question why they are wasting their time with a team who hasn’t teamed together once.  MJ tells them that it just means it will be a cake walk and they will be victorious.

We cut over to The Ambassador and the team of Phat Sol and ‘Red Hot’ Lucas Johnston.  The Ambassador says that the reason he put these two together is because no one knows what to expect and that will be the key to them winning here tonight.  When asked about the Fiend, the Ambassador called him a nobody and said Fang will eat him alive.

Pyro goes off again and the Fiend makes his way down to the ring.  The fans cheer him as he enters the ring.  The music changes abruptly and out comes the Hardcore Champion Dr. Red Fang and his manager Ant Graham.  Fang has been relentless since coming under the guidance from Graham.  Tonight though, Graham will not play a part in the match because of the hardcore rules tied to this championship.  The announcers tells us the rules for this match will be a ‘Tables, Ladders and Chairs’ match.  Fang immediately starts off with hitting the Fiend with multiple chair shots.  After clocking the Dr. with a ladder, the Fiend set up a table on the outside of the ring.  Fang attacked him and hit a Transylvania piledriver on the floor.  He went for the cover but ended up pulling the Fiend up.  He dragged him back in the ring but got stunned when the Fiend hit the 3 hits from Hell (rapid punches).  He hit Fang’s leg with a chair and went for the Devil Lock (figure 4) but Fang made it to the ropes.  Fang then hits a Vampire’s Lunge but the Fiend got the chair up just in time and both went down.  Fang recovered first and hit another Transylvania Piledriver.  He then set the ladder up to where it was just over the table.  He pulled the Fiend up and tried to suplex him off but the Fiend stopped it and nailed the 3 hits from Hell.  Fang fell off the ladder and crashed through the table below.  The Fiend climbed down and made the cover.  1…2…3 seconds later and we have a NEW HARDCORE CHAMPION!  The Fiend took the title and celebrated in the ring while Ant Graham helped the Dr. to the back. (12:56).

We cut to the back and challenger Dude USA Mick Rude approaches the US Champion Superstar Chic Monroe.  Rude tells Monroe he wants this to be a ‘wrestling match’ and challenges the champ to accept the stipulation.  Monroe responds with “I do this for a living.  You really want me to wrestle you for 30 minutes?  Fine.  It’s your funeral.”  This stipulation means that there will be special rules in place for when someone wants to go for a pin.

It is time for tag team action.  The Ambassador makes his way out with his protégés Phat Sol and ‘Red Hot’ Lucas Johnston.  Fans are mixed for Lucas because they like him but can’t understand why he aligned himself with the Ambassador and Phat Sol.  Music changes and manager MJ comes out first.  “Ladies and Gentlemen, I present to you – YOUR World Tag Team Champions  - The Smashers!  They come out and they are wearing gear similar to what the Road Warriors did back in the day and MAN are the fans pissed about it.  They are pissed enough to maybe actually cheer for their opponents.  The Smasher walk to the ring without caring what the fans think.  The go right on the offensive and attack Phat and Lucas but the challengers fight back.  The Smashers were dominating this one like they’ve done in the past but MJ never really had to contend with another manager interfering in his team’s match.  While the Smashers were cleaning house inside the ring, MJ and the Ambassador were fighting on the outside of the ring.  At one point, the Ambassador grabbed a chair and tried to hit Smasher #2 with it but MJ grabbed the chair and the two had a tug of war over it.  The ref came over to tell the two of them to break it up and just then, the Ambassador let go and without the tension on the other side, MJ swung the chair, full force, right into the ref.  The ref immediately called for the bell disqualifying the Smashers for MJ’s interference.  The Ambassador was all proud of himself until he realized that belts do NOT change hands on a DQ.  Lucas and Phat win this one but they do not win the titles.  (11 min).  Just as the Smashers were leaving (and berating MJ for costing them a win), Lucas got on the mic and said that at a PPV, this is not how things should end.  He says that the Smashers should come back to the ring but without MJ and they will ask the Ambassador to leave and then they can finish this one.  The Smashers blow them off until Phat starts calling them ‘chicken’ and the fans join in.  They rush back to the ring and I guess this one is starting over. 

The champs once again dominated their challengers but this time, Phat and Lucas put up a much tougher fight and the Smashers had to work that much harder.  All 4 men fought in the ring multiple times but it wasn’t until the Smashers pulled Lucas out of the ring and hit a double Steel Smasher on Lucas through a table at ringside.  Lucas seems to be injured.  The Smashers played around with Phat but then realized that the time limit was almost up.  Smasher #1 went for a DDT but it got reversed into the Phat Phat (Brainbuster) and Phat almost got the 3 count but Smasher #2 made the save.  A low blow followed by a stomp on Phat had him staring up at the lights for 3 seconds.  The Smashers get the win via pin and retain their titles.  Phat recovered and helped Lucas to the back.  (18 min)

We go backstage again and we get to hear from the Russian and 5^th Column member Ivan Dragovich.  Ivan is with Ant Graham.  Graham says that Ivan is stronger than ever and will destroy ‘the Elitist’.  Ivan mutters “I will break you” and holds the TV title up and then walks off.

In the other interview area, Reid Rothchild is with his wife Ravishing Raquel and his manager Master Bull.  Bull says that Reid is ready and before the end of the night, he (Reid) will have gold and he (Bull) will finally be a manager of champions.  Reid says he’s prepared himself for the Russian (he even watched Rocky IV to psyche himself up) and tonight, he becomes a champion once again.  Raquel is standing there holding her briefcase.  She is asked if she’s cashing it in tonight.  She smiles and shrugs her shoulders.

“Born in the USA” blares over the loudspeakers and out comes Dude USA Mick Rude.  Rude gets a decent pop and shakes hands with the fans as he makes his way around the ring.  He climbs in and pulls on the ropes to do some stretching.  Music changes and out comes the US Champion Superstar Chic Monroe.  Monroe doesn’t acknowledge the fans at all.  He climbs in the ring and stares eye to eye with Mick.  The bell rings and this one is underway.  Chic hits Mick with a swiss uppercut and Mick nails an elbow smash.  Mick goes for the Dude Awakening but Chic reverses it and tries to send Mick to the outside of the ring but that too is reversed and takes Chic down with a single leg takedown.  Chic is very frustrated.  He remained that way for the entire match as Dude USA totally outwrestled the Swiss Superman.  And per his strategy, he only went for one pin attempt during the entire match.  Chic tried to battle back and after eye raking Dude, he climbed the turnbuckle.  He jumped and just then Mick hit him with a clothesline.  HOLY CRAP!  What a move!  Mick dragged Chic to the center of the ring and hooked the leg for the 1-2-3.  Mick Rude has just defeated Chic Monroe to become the NEW US CHAMPION!  Dude USA’s music plays and after posing with the title, he shook hands with the fans and left.  Chic kind of sulked out on his own.  (15 min)  The fans chanting “Dude…Dude…Dude” went on for a few minutes even after Mick left.

Backstage, El Gato Negro talks about how this is her lifelong dream and tonight, her dream is coming true.  She is 100% healthy (after she almost had a cataclysmic reaction to peanuts) and tonight is her night.

The Duchess is also backstage and says there is no way in hell she is losing the title tonight.  Come lying, cheating or stealing, she will be victorious.

It is time for the TV Championship match.  First, the Elitist Reid Rothchild and Master Bull head to the ring.  Next, champion Ivan Dragovich and his manager Ant Graham head to the ring.  The ref reminds both managers that they are barred from ringside.   Both managers provide last minute advice and then leave and go to sit in chairs at the top of the ramp (They sit on either side to avoid any altercations).  Ivan is thrown out of the ring but he is back in quick and hits a jumping side kick.  He goes for a quick pin but Reid kicks out.  Reid is up and nails a Reid Bottom.  He followed it up with the Rothchild Leg Drop.  Ivan shook off the cobwebs and hit Reid with the Accolade.  Ivan went for a swinging side slam but Reid neutralized it.  Ivan went for a diving headbutt but Reid moved.  Reid tossed Ivan out of the ring and it looked like he was going to get counted out but Reid dragged him back in before the 10 count.  Ivan rolled out again and Reid had to drag him back in but not before slamming his leg into the steel steps.  Reid then locked in the Figure Four Reid Lock and it was just too much for the champ and he tapped out.  ‘The Elitist’ Reid Rothchild has just become the NEW TV CHAMPION!   Master Bull ran down and congratulated his protégé.  Ivan remained in the ring holding his leg.  Master Bull and the new champ left and Ant Graham, who had made is way down, entered the ring.  He began to verbally attack Ivan.  Ivan decided he’d had enough and stood up towering over Ant.  He grabbed him by the throat and looked to chokeslam him but the rest of the 5^th Column (Karl Braun, Oswald Zimmerman and Baron von Blood) all ran down and attacked and beat down on Ivan.  Ant kept yelling at them to continue the attack.  Finally, Baron held Ivan up and Ant slapped him repeatedly across the face.  They dropped Ivan on the mat and Ant & the 5^th Column all left.  Ivan had to be helped to the back.  (9 min for the match; 15 for the segment)

Backstage, the Six Man tag team champs the Steel Curtain are there with their partner Biceps Bannerman.  Buzz says he could talk all day about the Muscles but he’s giving the mic to Biceps.  Bannerman says that the Muscles Trio have cost them tag and singles matches and tonight, he and the Steel Curtain will show why THEY are the champs.  Buzz picks up the trophy and Starbuck leans in and both men say “WORD”.

The Muscles Trio (Thorpe, Weasley & McGuire) say that the Steel Curtain and their roided up buddy are full of crap.  It was they who cost the Muscles championship after championship.  Tonight, they take the trophy and then no one can ever say anything bad about them again.  The three put on their rainbow colored bull horns and then skip out.

The next match on our lineup is for the Ladies title.  First, El Gato Negro comes out to a huge pop.  The time off did her good and she looks to be in great shape.  She is followed out by the Ladies Champion the Duchess.  She is booed as expected and makes a beeline for the ring.  She gets in and the two of them stare at each other until the bell rings.  El Gato went for quite a few pin attempts but the ref (nicknamed Slow Count Sam) was slow on everything…pin attempts, breaking holds when in the corner, even going for countouts.  These two definitely brought their A game and the fans applauded both.  The two kept up their fast paces for the entire match.  El Gato, seeing the time limit was getting ready to expire, tried for the Wall-O-Cato but ended up eating a superkick from the Duchess.  Duchess made a cover and the ref, slow as usual, counted 1………….2…….. and then the bell rang bringing this one to a 30 minute draw.  El Gato was disappointed and started to leave the ring.  The Duchess took her title and started to parade around with it until music changed and standing at the top of the ramp was Ravishing Raquel with the contract for her title shot.  IS SHE CASHING IT IN?  She stares at the Duchess and then turns and leaves.  The Duchess narrowly avoided another match.   WAIT…Raquel turns and rushes to the ring.  She drops the Duchess with clotheslines and then locks in the Ravishing Chickenwing.  The Duchess is tapping out but Raquel doesn’t let up.  Finally, refs come from the back to break it up.  Raquel smiles as she takes her contract and leaves.  I think she just made a point.

This time, we cut to pre-recorded messages from our 4 contenders to the World Title.  We start off with Outback Oscar.

OO:  You know, I’ve been a top contender for this belt for a long time and I haven’t received my shot so now I get to challenge 3 other men for a belt I should have had a 1:1 shot.  Nevertheless, my record speaks for itself and tonight, I will finally get Gold wrapped around my waist.  No tool (Axe), cowboy (the Stache) or someone named after a fast food restaurant will stand in my way.  Tonight, I will be victorious.

Next we cut over to the Axe.

Axe:  Once you’ve had the taste of championships, you never want to let it go.  Once I got rid of the dead weight hanging around my neck, I felt it time to assert my dominance in the sport and I did it by becoming the World Champion. The method in which I lost is questionable but nonetheless, it is time for me to get my belt back.  That happens tonight.  Oscar, Sonic and the Stache area all great competitors but none are the Axe and “WHATCHA GONNA DO WHEN THE AXE DECAPITATES YOU?”

Our third promo comes from Sonic Blade.

SB:  Each and every one of these guys tonight are some of the hardest workers in the business.  I like to think of myself as up there with them.  I may not have been a former World Champion like the Axe or an International superstar as Outback Oscar or even ‘one Stache to rule them all’…I’m Sonic Blade and tonight, I will achieve the dream I’ve had ever since stepping into the ring…to become the World Champion.  Tonight is my night.  

Finally, the one and only Stache gets his turn.

Stache:  I’ve had to deal with Apparitions (the Wraith), with those who’s tried to steal my identity (El Chango and Leon Teremoto – the Desperados), and even a poser who thought he was royalty.   Tonight, the Stache starts the next chapter in his life and that begins with me as the World Champion.  I’ve fought my way through the muck and mire to get to where I am today and nothing will stop me from having my arm raised and introduced as the NEW World Champion.

We go back to the ring for our next match.  The steel cage is being assembled.  First, the challengers the Muscles Trio come out.  Muscles Weasley, Thorpe and McGuire all make their way to the ring.  They are wearing their rainbow colored bull horns.  The jog around the ring acting all goofy.  Music changes and out comes Biceps Bannerman and the Steel Curtain (Buzz and Starbuck Steel).  They have a look of determination on their faces and are ready – finally – for the chance to beat the holy hell out of the Muscles Trio.  Behind them, the 6 man tag team trophy is on a rolling flatbed and it is brought down to ringside.  The Muscles Trio enter the cage first and are followed by the champs.  There is so much riding on this match – not only a trophy defense but revenge as these two teams have clashed over the past few months.  The cage is locked and the bell rings starting this one off.  GM Max McGillicutty says he wants this one to be the final match between these two teams so he gives them no time limit. 

There is so much bad blood between these two teams that it took them 31 minutes to close the chapter on this one.  Buzz started off by nailing McGuire with brass knuckles drawing blood. He went for a quick pin but McGuire kicked out.  Muscles Thorpe gets tagged in and tries to crush Buzz’s fingers against the cage but Buzz reversed it and nailed the Buzzkill.  He went for another quick pin but Thorpe kicked out.  This went on with both teams holding the advantage over each other for the rest of the match.   We join the match now at the 25 minute mark.

GM Max McGillicutty comes out with the World title.  He says that 4 men have an opportunity to achieve greatness; one will stand out over the others.  He says that now, it is time for the main event to crown a new World Champion.  Max wants a solid winner so he gives this one no time limit. There must be a winner by pin or submission.

First, Outback Oscar makes his way down to the ring.  He is followed out by The Stache, then the Axe and finally Sonic Blade.  The four men face off in the ring and then the bell rings starting this one off.  This one was a true slobberknocker that went on for 37 minutes.  None of the competitors would give an inch and each one of them threw 150% at this match.  You could see it on each one of their faces that this is something the wanted, nay, needed.  Right off the bat, Oscar nullified the Axe.  Then the Stache and Axe collided in the ring and both fell out injured.  Oscar and Blade then went at it.  Finally, they rejoined but at that time were at a disadvantage due to the injury.  The Stache started to battle back after raking the head of Oscar (accidentally?) with his spurs.   It wasn’t until 22 minutes in that we saw our first pin attempt after Sonic hit the Stache with the Alhambra Attack but Oscar pulled him off at the 1 count.   Stache then tries to lock Oscar in the Handlebar (camel clutch) but it is nullified.  Four minutes later, Sonic catches the Axe with a sunset flip and tries for a pin only to have it broken up by the Stache at the 1 count.  We now join the match at the 30 minute mark.

HCW Wrestling Newsletter 2016 #499 – HCW Hall of Fame ceremony

Hello fans and welcome back to our newsletter.  Tonight, we have our HCW Hall of Fame Ceremony coming to you live from Colorado Springs, CO – the one time home of the CSWA.   Reporters Clarkus Kentus and Larry Morton are mingling with fans as well as quite a few names who have turned out for tonight’s celebration.  We are also told that the HCW Class of 2016 inductees are provided with a wrestling belt replica. (as opposed to a gaudy ring – who wants that?)

Tonight’s tag line is:  “Kings come and go but Legends are forever.”

1^st:  The Super Warrior inducted by Mohammed Hassan

Mohammed Hassan makes his way out to nice applause from the crowd.  “There are a lot of you out there who don’t know me. My impact on the world outside of the HWF and CSWA was minimal but inside, I had it all.  I was a multi-time World champion and at one point, the Triple Crown champion (holding HWF World, CSWA World and the Undisputed Heavyweight Championship) but all that came crashing down because of one man…and that is the man I’m here tonight to induct into the HCW Hall of Fame.  To most, the Super Warrior was a knockoff of the man he idolized – the Ultimate Warrior.  He claimed to live and breathe by the Warrior code and I will tell you, he was a HELL of a wrestler.  I don’t think that during my time in the HWF and CSWA that I encountered a man who would upset the apple cart quite like he did.  He challenged the status quo. Never could I expect that this man would turn out to be an icon – a role model for many – kids and adults alike.  He would say ‘Warriors Believe’ and ‘believe’ me when I say it is my HONOR to introduce to you…Hall of Famer The Super Warrior.”

“Hear me, my Warriors!  (pop from the crowd)  As you all know, Warriors are truly defined by the wars in which they FIGHT!  None of the wars in which I have fought were greater than those I fought against Mohammed Hassan.  We have been the bitterest of enemies at times in the past but one thing that cannot be denied is that he has earned my respect as a Warrior in his own right and I am honored to be inducted into the Hall OF Fame by him this evening!    

My time in the HWF and CSWA has brought me many highlights in my long career.  I’ve been a multiple-time TV champion, I’ve been a tag team champion on 2 different occasions and a World Champion defeating the man who inducts me here tonight.  I am proud to have contributed to the world of the HWF and CSWA and thank all those who made my journey that much more memorable – Chris Benoit, The Rock, Shelton Benjamin and Mohammed Hassan.

From the moment that I was unleashed upon the world of professional wrestling I have fought a war to carry on the legacy of He Who Came Before Me, the Ultimate Warrior!  The Ultimate One inspired legions of fans to take up the Warrior Way of Life!  There is a Warrior within us all and I like to think that I have done my part to awaken that Warrior spirit within many of you that are watching tonight!  It has been my extreme honor to carry on the tradition of this, started by the Ultimate Warrior himself and now I take my place among the Immortals in the Hall Of Fame with the hope that somewhere out there, there is a young Warrior who has been inspired by me, just as I was by him, with the power and the passion to take up the colors, paint up his or her face and follow the Path of the Warrior to glory just as I did!   Are you out there little Warrior?  SPEAK TO ME!”   .  Hassan shakes hands with the Super Warrior, hands him his belt and then they leave.

2^nd:  MW3 inducted by ‘The American Badass’ the Undertaker

Silence reverberates across the hall.  Suddenly, the words “I am American Bad Ass!” by Kid Rock fill the air along with the rest of the song.  The sound of a Harley Davidson fills the air and from the entrance of the Hall rides the Dead Man Himself, The Undertaker.  And he is dressed as he was in his American Bad Ass days. Jeans, t-shirt, denim vest and bandanna.  He does a couple of laps around the audience to a thunderous applause and parks his bike and walks to the stage.  He motions for silence, and speaks.

“Thank you fans, friends, management and distinguished inductees.  Tonight is a celebration of greatness, on a smaller stage though it may be, greatness nonetheless.  I can remember my first run in with MW3.  It was backstage at a house show in Colorado Springs, nearly 17 years ago.  He was fresh out of school and of a stint somewhere out east before being called by his mentor, the great Mr. Wrestling 2, to get his butt to Colorado and report to work in the HWF.  Man, was this kid green.  Walking around in the back, and yes, whether he wants to admit it or not, he marked out a little bit, seeing all of the talent he admired.

Yes, he marked out.  And there is nothing wrong with that.  You have to be a fan of the business to do this as long as we have.  You have to mark out at the talents like Flair, Rock, Austin, Hogan and Yours Truly.  In fact, I think I was the first guy he walked up to.  I remember he was nervous, and he told me, ‘Taker, it’s an honor to meet you.  I know you don’t know me at all, but I’m Mr. Wrestling 3, and one day, I’m gonna headline a PPV with you.”  Now I was at a table with Kane, Show, Hall and Malenko.  And a couple of those guys laughed at the new kid.  The only guy who didn’t laugh was Malenko, and me of course.  I just looked at him and said, “Boy, there are men here who’ve waited years to get a chance just to wait for that.  Get in line.”  I think I might have pissed him off a little and lit that fire in him.

Malenko didn’t laugh either, “You got a hell of a pair on you to say that.  I admire that kind of spirit.  If you’re serious, I’ll work with you kid.”  And Malenko did.  Day after day that kid took all that Malenko dished out and came back for more.  In that time, he worked his way up to the mid card, earing respect for his ability and professionalism in the ring.  I can remember when he was asked to put over a new kid called El Santo Jr, and not only did he, but that match was one of the best I’d seen in a long time.  And he did it with a smile, though it cost him a shot at the TV Title, and buried himself on the card for an extra 6 months.  Then, after a long wait and fight back to the mid card, and then it was time for him to move up.  And recalling what he said to me the day he arrived, I asked for this kid to be put in a promo with me.  A short one that ended up being a lot longer than either of us expected. 

As I recall….it was something about “crapping in my yard….”

We had some of the most brutal matches - Coal Miners Glove, Ladder, Scaffolding, Pier 6 Brawls - you name it.  This kid, just 3 years in the game, going toe-to-toe with me.  We beat the holy hell out of one another…until we ended our feud, and I stood victorious.  And after all that, I stood that boy up in the ring, raised his hand in respect, and left behind me a man.  I could go on and on, but I think that I’ll just introduce him and say to the kid who marked out, who told me one day we’d headline a PPV together – but who missed that not only that we’d be great rivals, but great friends -  Mr.  Wrestling 3.  MW3.

Out comes MW3 and he and Taker stand in a face off.  MW3 extends his hand, and Taker shakes it off, instead giving MW3 a brotherly hug.  Both men laugh and wave and pose for a few pics before Taker hands him his belt, points to the podium and says “Get yer ass up there boy and say something.”

Chants of MW3 fill the air and he takes it in for a few moments before motioning for silence.  “Thank you friends, family, management and fellow inductees, and most of all, you the Fans.  Thanks for coming tonight.  17 years ago, I’d never though that a kid from Chicago who traveled to Georgia to meet his favorite wrestler would be here today.  It’s been a long road.  Sometimes smooth, but most of the time, full of bumps, bruises, blood and tears.  I have just a few people to thank, so I’m going to try to be brief.

Wrestling 2.  The best.  My mentor and namesake.  You treated this kid with so much respect.  You gave me a career.  A LIFE.  Training day in and out with you and Wrestling 1.  Teaching me the business.  Getting me my first shot in Mid-South, against Moondog Spot - I lost that night, but it was hella fun.  Spot was a great guy to have a first match with.  I spent a year there jobbing and learning.  Met Harley Race, who told me that you could say anything to anyone, as long as you showed them the proper respect.  Then onto Georgia where I had a very physical match with Iron Mike Sharpe who put me over for my first professional win on TV.  He was slated to win that night you know, but Mike was a hell of a guy and I pinned him.  After a 6 weeks of GCW, 2 called me and said that I was going to Colorado Springs…there was new fed there, looking for new talent.  So I packed up and took the train to St. Louis and then the bus to Colorado Springs in the middle of a winter storm.  2 said that this was going to be the place for me.  That he had a feeling I would be a champion.  And he was right, because in 2004, I became Cruiserweight Champion, beating a very game Stevie Richards with 2’s patented knee lift.  Thanks 2.  I’d never have had this life if it weren’t for you.  He points to the audience, and an old man wearing Wrestling 2’s mask stands and bows.

Dean Malenko.  My first day in HWF, I met Malenko.  Like Taker said, he took me in and under his wing.  He showed me life in the show, and how to get by day to day.  How to nurse the nicks and dings you get.  How to stay in shape, but he also taught me how to refine my craft.  Chain wrestling.  Not only how to make yourself look good in the ring, but how to make your opponent look good too.  Those times I was wrestling so technically sharp, that was Dean.  It was only fitting that the first title I won was the Cruiserweight Title, a title Dean and others made great.  Thanks Dean, for helping me grow up in this business.  For making me a wrestlers, wrestler. 

The Undertaker.  If you’ve seen our matches, you know I owe this guy a lot.  We we’re gonna just have a short program where the kid gets a good match and gets beat.  But I wanted more time in the ring with the Dead Man.  I mean, a young guy like me in with a living legend.  So when I ahem…improvised….me ‘crapping’ in Takers yard, well, he wasn’t too happy at first, but I explained that I’d have said anything to get another match with him, regardless of how bad I’d get beat.  And it went that I got that incredible SuperKick, with props to the assist of a steel chair, that gave me a win over the Undertaker, and kicked off the yearlong feud that would define all of 2003.  Man, we really burned down the houses in those places, didn’t we, Taker?  Thank you sir.  For the matches, for the guidance and for the blood, sweat and tears.  I would have considered a career with one match with you complete, and I got a whole year of them. 

Lastly to the Fans.  To those who booed me, cheered me, and even threw a full cup of soda at me-  THANK YOU.  You were never indifferent to me.  From my first match with Spot, to my first title win to my feud with Ric Flair and Randy Orton.  My first tag team partner, The Big Show and our title reign.  And to my last title reign, as CSWA HW Champion, when I pinned Kurt Angle- a legend himself.  Thanks for the match Kurt.  As much as I may have berated you, it was all for you, the fans.  When I was Spiking my opponents into submission, or Kneelifting them into the rafters, or Superkicking them into the first row, seeing your faces and hearing the accolades or jeers, it what we live for.  It’s what I lived for.  Thanks for making it happen for a poor kid from Chi-town.”  The Undertaker hands MW3 his belt and they leave the stage to a pop from the crowd.

3^rd: ‘The Original Big Daddy’ Donnie B inducted by the Nature Boy Ric Flair

Ric Flair comes out.  “WOOOOOOOOOOOO. You know, it’s a good thing Super Warrior’s speech was short because WOOOO, MW3 can talk like no other.  WOOOO.”  He lets the fans and patrons finish their own wooing and then he starts up.  “Tonight is not about the Nature Boy but is about a man who for all intent and purposes, created a wrestling brand unlike the mainstream has ever seen.  He took what was a random collection of wrestlers and promoted a brand that evolved first into the HWF and CSWA and now, into the HCW.  Many of you are wondering ‘Why is the Nature Boy inducting this guy?’  Let me tell you a story.  It was back in the old territory days and the Horsemen were stylin’ and profilin’ all over the south.  We stopped in Houston for a show.  Now this must have been the late 80’s or something.  We were in a cage match taking on the likes of Dusty, Lex and others in a steel cage.  Barry, Arn and Tully were already in the ring.  As my music hit, I made my way to ringside.  This ‘kid’ ran up and started talking crap to ME, the Nature Boy.  Well, that of course didn’t sit well with me (at the time I was such a heel) so I basically told him to shut his mouth and then added some choice expletives.  Needless to say, this kid had no response other than ‘Same to you’.  (True Story)  This kid would turn out to be ‘The Original Big Daddy’ Donnie B.  I like to think that it was ME who drove the passion into creating a medium that would span decades.  It is my honor to introduce to you the Original Big Daddy Donnie B!”  Music hits and out comes Donnie B.  He shakes hands with Ric and whispers something that Flair laughs at. Ric hands Donnie B his title and then goes to leave the stage.  Donnie B makes his way to the podium.

“25 some odd years ago, I discovered a tool called ‘Pro Wrestling Superstars – a Promoter’s Dream’.  This tool allowed me to use wrestlers from all over the world and put on matches no one would ever have thought of.  This tool evolved into the HWF (Humble Wrestling Federation) and that was the federation I owned and ran matches in and around Humble, Texas (cheap pop).  Eventually, a move would take me to Colorado Springs, CO (huge pop from the crowd). I met up with people with similar interests and with the help of part owner Jeff Meyers, the CSWA came to life.  Years later I found an updated tool that would take Pro Wrestling Superstars to the next level.  I discovered ‘PWS’ and all I can say is that it made my life sooo much easier (Thanks Jowsterguy).  I faced many of the same legends who are here tonight from the Super Warrior, MW3, Mohammad Hassan, Classy Travis Wassie, and numerous others in the last 15 years.  There were tons of great feuds that took place but the one that comes to mind happens to be the long-standing feud I had with another person being honored tonight – the Negronomicon. (The crowd boos.  Donnie B smiles.) The two of us had feuds over padding around the ring (which he sued me for), for ‘holding the black man down’, and even up to his crashing of my wedding.   It even got ridiculous enough that we had a ‘bling vs bling’ match if you can believe that.  He had to be the greatest nemesis I had ever faced. 

My first title was the Light Heavyweight title that I defeated Ultimo Dragon for (points to him in the audience).  I’ve been a North American Champion, Cruiserweight champ, Tag team champ with my nemesis, and World Champion defeating ‘Captain Charisma’ Christian (points to him in the audience). 

The highlight of my career happened to coincide with our low point when The HWF and CSWA closed its doors at the end of 2010 due to creative no longer working (aka burned out).  The highlight in my career was that final show when I defeated the Undertaker to become the Undisputed Heavyweight Champion.  During that time off, I had time to reflect and tour the world getting the opportunity to see the great talent out there.  In 2013, creative had kicked back in (I found my smile) and the HWF and CSWA were relaunched with new talent discovered such as the Axe, ‘The Elitist’ Reid Rothchild, Master Bull and more.  Enhancements made to the PWS tool took the stress of figuring out matches completely out and allowed creative to once again ‘run wild’. 

This year 2016, as you may have read in earlier newsletters, the HWF and CSWA ran into a few legal snafus which forced those chapters to be closed for good.  From those ashes rose the HCW.  The HCW, run by GM extraordinaire Max McGillicutty, has taken off and we haven’t looked back since.  Wrestlers will come and go and the evolution of the sport will continue and with such great talent we have on our roster like the Stache, the Desperados, a fantastic Ladies division and…hell, I’ll give him his due…King CJ.  These wrestlers are a fantastic breed and I can only hope to see great things from the HCW.  Special thanks go out to owner in crime Jeff Meyers, Tony Graham, Wayne Tuttle and to all the performers who have made our federation the place where everyone wants to be and lastly, to our readers…thank you.  This ride could not have happened without you.”   Donnie B takes his title, once again shakes hands with Ric and then they leave the stage.

4^th:  In Memoriam:  the Negronomicon inducted by Ron Simmons

Ron Simmons makes his way to the podium.  He stares around before exclaiming “DAMN!”  He pauses briefly before continuing.  “There are a HELL of a lot of you out there.  Listen, I’ve been around this sport a long time and I’ve never encountered a guy like the Negronomicon.  I thought I blazed the way being the first African-American World Champ but this guy made me look like a chump.  The Negronomicon was a true trailblazer (not to be confused with the Blue Blazer).  He made it so that no one would ever have to be held back again based on Race, Creed or Intelligence.  A quick story you may not know.  Before he got started in the world of professional wrestling, he was watching wrestling on TV with his woman.  As the show dragged on, she turned to him and asked if he knew of the ‘Necronomicon’ (aka the Book of the Dead from ‘Army of Darkness’).  She said that if he were to ever become a wrestler, he would be the Negronomicon.  And that is when he was born. 

Up until the end, he was so invested in the wrestling world that he wanted to grow the sport above and beyond the confines of the HWF and CSWA so he charted a plane (cargo because he was so cheap) and it disappeared into the Bermuda Triangle.   We will never know what this man could accomplish had he survived but since he is no longer here, I am proud to accept this title on his behalf.” 

There is a commotion and over the loudspeaker blares “From the desk of N” and then in walks…the Negronomicon!!!  WHAT THE HELL!!!!

Negronomicon walks over to the podium and looks over the sea of fans and wrestlers alike.  “IT HAS BEEN TOO MANY YEARS…(Negronomicon has to yell over the booing from the fans.  Finally they settle down so he can continue)…far too many years since I have graced this stage.  To my complete surprise, since my absence I was fully expected that this company would have folded by know.  Yet here it is.  I see a lot of new faces; faces I have no knowledge of and since they have not defeated me in the ring, I really won't give them much play.  It's not that I don't think you could compete.  Cause you couldn't.  But it's more of the distaste I have for the new catchphrase seeking, no basics of wrestling knowing wannabees, and above all white performers (not wrestlers) that are crawling about here. 

I bet you were thinking “I thought this guy was dead and gone” but you know what, for a moment I was.  The plane I was on did in fact disappear into the Bermuda Triangle.   I was the only survivor.  I thought I was going to go insane (he holds up ‘Spaulding’ the basketball with a face drawn on it).  Little did I know that just two short days later, I would hear a commotion and would go to check it out.  As the true detective I am (the hell with the Bat), I scoped it out and found a group of people on the other side.  I came to find out that this was the cast of SURVIVOR.  That’s right…a stupid reality show allowed the Negronomicon to rejoin the land of the living.  I’ve been laying low among the ignorant masses who were none the wiser.  Finally, when I heard this sham was going on, I decided it was time for me to remind you morons who I am.   (Negronomicon kicks Spaulding into the audience)

I would like to thank Ron Simmons for the kinds words...he is a man's man.  He knows what wresting is.  And so I thank him.  I want to thank Donnie B.  I haven't seen him yet.  Not surprised.  But still I would like to thank him.  Is he still wrestling?  Does he know the difference between and wrist-lock and a wristwatch yet?  Don't matter.  No one cares.

Lastly…the fans.  Do you know what actual wrestling is?  Probably not.  More interested in the pyro and shouting out the typewritten applause lines.  Probably don't even remember that I am responsible for the padding on the floors that have extended some of ya'lls sad ass careers.

You know what?  Thanks for this little honor.  Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy.  N Out” (drops the mic) 

Negronomicon takes his belt from Ron and they leave the stage.

That is all we have for now.  The PPV is up next.  Stay tuned.

HCW Wrestling Newsletter 2016 #498 - Lead up to the PPV

https://hwfcswafantasy.blogspot.com/

https://www.facebook.com/groups/HWFCSWAFantasy 

Hello fans and welcome back to our newsletter.  This will be the final show before our PPV next Sunday.  In between then, we will have the first ever HCW Hall of Fame celebration that will be broadcast live from Colorado Springs, CO – the former home of the CSWA.  The show kicks off with some pyro and GM Max McGillicutty comes out on stage.  Max says Sonic Blade, the Stache, the Axe and Outback Oscar will have a fatal four way at the PPV to determine the next World Champion.  Max says this belt will not be achieved on a cheap win but on who kicks ass the best. 

The show kicks off with our first match.  Angry Jack Lawson comes out and says he’s (wait for it) Angry because he is not on the PPV and wants a match right now.  Ant Graham comes out and says he’d be happy to oblige.  Ant brings out Baron von Blood.  The Baron seemed a little angry too and he took it out on Jack.  Ant got involved (the ref seemed to turn a blind eye) and only helped the Baron strategically (for him though, strategy includes eye rakes, tripping among other infractions) inserting himself when he thought he was needed (actually was 4x in this match).  The Baron nailed a Blitzkrieg Stunner and this one was over.  Ant Graham pushes the ref away and raises the arm of the Baron.  (7 min)

We cut to the back where the Gold Standard Bruce Biltmore is challenging Dude USA for his title match against Chic Monroe.  Bruce doesn’t think Mick Rude has what it takes to become a champion.  Rude says he’s ready and willing to prove it in the ring.  Max walks over and says that Biltmore can only win the spot by pin or submission.

We move on to our next match which will have two of our Ladies superstars squaring off.  Sarona Reiher comes out to a mixed reaction from the crowd.  Her opponent, Jazz Emmett comes out and is met with the same reaction.  Jazz dominated the match and made Sarona look like a rookie.  She kept the offense up for 9 straight minutes.  The end came after Jazz hit the Bank Statement and made the merciful cover for the 1-2-3.  (9 min)

Magnum Kone, the King of Cones, is backstage talking to Max.  He says he’s glad everything worked out for everyone and asks to have a match tonight.  Max picks up a dart and throws it at a wall covered in superstar’s photos.  Sure enough, it lands on Rad Gumbo.  Max says he can have his rematch against Gumbo and says that he wants to liven it up.  He tells Magnum that it will be a street fight rules match.  He tells Magnum to go get ready and he’ll break the news to Gumbo.

We go back to the ring for tag team action.  First, Niven and Leiton Snake make their way out to the ring.  Next, their opponents the Desperados make their way out.  The four of them start slugging it out before the bell even rang.  Finally the ref regains control and we are underway.  The Snake Brothers started off with double teaming on El Chango but it didn’t last long.  Leon gets tagged in and cinches in what appears to be the most horrific headlock ever seen.  Niven hits him with a tilt-a-whirl slam and Leon tags out to El Chango but not before dropping Niven with a superkick.  El Chango climbs the top rope and nails a shooting star press.  He makes the cover and gets the 3 count before Leiton even realized what was happening.  The Desperados get a win and chase off the Snake Brothers.  El Chango gets on the mic and says they want whoever walks out of the PPV with the tag titles.  (5 min)

Max meets up with Rad Gumbo and breaks the news to him.  Rad is not happy about it but is even less when Max tells him MJ is not allowed at ringside.  Max walks off as Rad starts kicking things.

We go back to the ring for our PPV match challenge.  The Gold Standard Bruce Biltmore comes out first and he is booed.  Dude USA Mick Rude comes out with “Real American” (Hogan’s and before that, Windham & Rotundo’s) old theme.  We’re not sure he has permission to use it but we’ll see what happens.  Dude was practically destroying Biltmore.  It was almost embarrassing.  Rude just toyed with him and took his time in trying to go for a pin or anything.  Biltmore started to battle back and he threw Mick out of the ring.  Knowing that Bruce can only win the spot by pin or submission, he started to walk away.  He ended up getting counted out.  Bruce gets a win but he does not get to go to the PPV.  (19 ½ min)

There seems to be a backstage altercation between Tag Team champs the Smashers and 5^th Column members Karl Braun & Oswald Zimmerman.  Braun says that he knows the champs are defending the belts in a week but they feel they deserve the shot and challenge the Smashers here tonight.  MJ accepts on behalf of his team.

We go back to the ring for our next match.  Rad Gumbo makes his way out as “Gumbo 7:30 says its suppa time bitch” blares over the loudspeakers.  Magnum Kone comes out with Haagen and Daas who rush down to the ring to hand out ice cream.  Magnum is wearing his shirt that reads “8:13 means it’s time for dessert”.  Rad is still pissed off for what he claims is Magnum stealing his catchphrase (hang on, didn’t he steal it from someone else?)  These two went at it just like in their other battles.  Rad took control early on but after being hit with the Ice Cream Sandwich (splash), Magnum took over and OWNED him.  Magnum just beat the hell out of Rad and try as he might, he could not stop the King of Cones…that is until MJ came out.  Yes, the guy who was banned from ringside snuck down to the ring.  Rad was on the receiving end of being choked with a microphone cord until he was suplexed out of the ring.  MJ got the ref’s attention and after being reprimanded, Rad used that time to hit Kone with a low blow and then blasted him in the head with the time keepers bell drawing blood.  He then climbed the top rope and jumped driving the bell into Kone’s throat.  He discarded the bell and made the cover.  The ref counted 1…2…3.  Rad Gumbo stole a win and he quickly left with MJ to celebrate his second win over the King of Cones.  Magnum had to be helped from the ring.  (24 min)  

Max comes out and says that tonight’s main event will be a Fatal 4 Way to see who gets to take Ivan on for the TV title.  Max says the participants include The Shockmaster, Jerry Saunders, former champion the Crocodile Hunter and ‘the Elitist’ Reid Rothchild.

The Smashers vs Karl Braun & Oswald Zimmerman.  The 5^th Column come out first with Ant Graham and they are pacing like caged animals.  The Smashers come out next with MJ.  I don’t think they’re too happy with MJ for agreeing to this match.  The champs seemed to hold their own especially after MJ took care of Ant Graham.  After what seemed to be a pretty even match through 17 minutes changed after the champs double teamed Oswald for 2 rounds.  Just as Oswald was going for a move, MJ grabbed his hair and yanked him down hard.  Smasher #2 made the cover and with his foot on the ropes and a handful of tights, he got the pin.  The Champs looked good in this match as they head into the PPV.  (20 min)

A video airs of Ivan regaining the TV title after defeating the Crocodile Hunter.  Ivan had some choice words for Reid.

It is time for our Main Event:  A Fatal 4 Way for the TV title:  Reid vs Shockmaster vs Jerry Saunders vs the Crocodile Hunter.  This was a free for all with everyone trying to take each other out.  The Shockmaster disposed of the Crocodile Hunter as Reid took out Jerry Saunders.  The final few minutes were just these two guys beating the crap out of each other.  Saunders kept Croc on the outside and didn’t let him back into the ring.  Reid dropkicks the knee of the Shockmaster and then locks in the Figure Four Reid Lock in the middle of the ring.  Shockmaster did something ‘shocking’…he tapped out.  Reid Rothchild wins this one and will go on to the PPV to meet Ivan Dragovich for the TV title.  His celebration is cut off when Ivan runs down and drops him with the Accolade.  Ivan stands over Reid holding the TV title as the show comes to an end.

Hang on…there appears to be one more segment.  We head bat to Max’s office and he is there with the owners and it seems like they are on a phone call.   Hang on…we recognize that voice.  The Owners are talking to the WWE’s Vince McMahon.  Vince asks if they are ready to come back to the bargaining table but Mr. Bychowski says “not at this time but I have a request.  I would like to get back the use of the names of my old federations the HWF and CSWA.  My intention is not to resurrect them but have the rights so they can be acknowledged during the HOF speech without causing any more friction.”  Mr. Meyers adds that he knows deep down it wasn’t Vince who buried the HWF and CSWA, but says that doing this, it would play an important part WHEN they want to come back to that bargaining table.  Vince says he will have his lawyers write up legal documentation stating he is giving Mr B and Mr M the rights to the names HWF and CSWA back to them but only for the purposes in “discussing the past” and that the two federations cannot be “resurrected”.  The call ended with Vince adding “Hope to see you gentlemen again soon.”

As a reminder, there is no wrestling card on Wed.  The Hall of Fame ceremony will be Friday and the PPV on Sunday.  Stay tuned.
