Hello
fans and welcome back to our newsletter.
Today’s show kicks off backstage in GM Max McGillicutty’s office. There is a knock on the door and in walks the
World Champion, King CJ. Max comments
that it’s about time the World Champion showed up. King CJ says he’s been in the hospital and is
not well. Max says it’s just another of
CJ’s copouts. CJ says not this time and
he is ill. Max says regardless, he needs
to appear more leading up to our PPV. CJ
says he cannot. Max says if he does not,
he will strip CJ of the belt. CJ one-ups
the GM by surrendering the World title.
“When I am healthy, I WILL come back for my belt. Remember this moment as I did not LOSE the
title.” CJ surrenders the title and
walks out as Max stands there in shock but then says that he will pick 4 men to
participate in a Fatal Four Way at the PPV with the winner becoming the new
World Champion.
As
it turns out too, HCW was booked for TWO shows on the same day. Max had to quickly put together a lineup for
the second show.
The
first match is our first qualifying match for the Fatal 4 way at the PPV. First, Jerry Saunders makes his way down to
the ring. His opponent is Sonic
Blade. Sonic has been on a roll and
hopes to make it to the PPV. Saunders
cheated to get a leg up on Blade but Sonic battled back and eventually took
Jerry to school. Jerry had started to
get desperate but each time he tried for a high impact move, Blade nullified
it. Jerry finally went for an abdominal
stretch but Sonic turned it into a reverse cradle and the ref counted to 3
giving the win and advancing to the PPV to Sonic Blade. Blade celebrated briefly before leaving. Saunders left the ring disappointed. (14 min)
TV
Champion Ivan Dragovich and his manager Ant Graham storm into Max’s
office. Ivan says that a PPV is not the
same as TV and says he shouldn’t be required to defend his belt. Max gives him a final ultimatum – he wrestles
and defends the title or he is fired. Max
says that Ivan WILL wrestle at the PPV.
Ivan asks who his opponent will be.
Max says at the next show, there will be a fatal four way with the
winner getting a shot at his title. This
time however, Ant Graham will be BARRED from ringside. Graham tried to show the stipulation in his
contract where he HAD to be at Ivan’s side but this time Max was prepared and
showed Graham the contract HE signed giving Max the authority to remove Ant at
any time. Graham and Ivan stormed out of
the office.
We
head back to the ring for our next PPV qualifying match. First, Outback Oscar makes his way out to a
huge pop from the crowd. Next, his
opponent Desperado member El Chango comes out and he is not well liked
here. El Chango appears to be a bit
frustrated so he starts to take it out on Oscar. Both men looked strong but it wasn’t until El
Chango tried for a Phoenix Splash and Oscar got his knees up and El Chango
crashed hard. Oscar then locked in the
Outback stretch and El Chango immediately tapped out. Oscar gets the win and moves on. Medics came out to check on El Chango and he
aggressively pushed them away. (8 min)
The
Fiend makes his way down to the ring and calls out the Ambassador and says he
wants a shot at Phat Sol but with a stipulation. He says that if he wins, the Ambassador must
let him out of his contract. If he
loses, he remains under the thumb of the Ambassador AND will give Phat his title
shot against Dr. Red Fang for the Hardcore title. The Ambassador calls Phat down to see what he
thinks and he agrees. The Ambassador
says that match happens now.
For
10 minutes, the Fiend beat the holy hell out of Phat Sol and the Ambassador was
beside himself. It wasn’t until Phat hit
a vertical suplex on the Fiend that things changed. The Ambassador almost got Phat disqualified
twice after wanting to interfere. The
Ambassador slipped Phat a foreign object but before he could use it, the Fiend
hit the 3 Hits from Hell and went for the cover but Phat kicked out. He then used the foreign object on the Fiend
and once again, Phat had control. Phat
used the foreign object 3 times before discarding it. He went for a pin but the Fiend kicked
out. The Ambassador hit the Fiend with
his cane. Phat went for a pin but the
Fiend kicked out again. The Ambassador
jumped up on the apron but the Fiend reversed an irish whip and threw Phat
crashing into the Ambassador. He then
hit the ropes and nailed a vicious clothesline.
The Fiend makes the cover and gets the 1-2-3. The Fiend is victorious and is no longer
under the thumb of the Ambassador AND he gets to keep his title shot. (19 min)
The
Wraith is backstage and says that things are not done between him and the
Stache. The Wraith demands that Max make
a match between them and the winner moves forward to the World title hunt. Max thinks it will be good for business so he
makes the match.
We
head back to the ring for a battle royal to determine who will get to meet Chic
Monroe for the US title at the PPV. The
7 competitors are Dude USA Mick Rude, El Chango (still smarting from his
earlier loss), Starbuck Steel, Jesse California, Perfect Pecs Stoddard,
Superquake Ferguson & Billy Robbins.
In order of elimination:
Stoddard, Superquake, Starbuck, Robbins, El Chango leaving Jesse
California to take on fellow Californian Dude USA Mick Rude. Rude held his own and after a powerslam took
the wind out of Jesse’s sails, he “sailed” right over the top rope. Mick Rude gets the win and will take on
Superstar Chic Monroe for the US title.
(14 min)
Backstage,
the Hollywood Star says he’s heard that the Axe is back in the title hunt and
it’s not fair that someone who lost is still considered a contender. The Star says he challenges the Axe for his
spot and when he wins, he will move on for World title consideration.
We
go back to the ring for our next match which has the Wraith taking on the
Stache. Both men try to go after each
other but Max comes out before they come to blows. Max says he wants a winner here and wants to
see one of these two move on. No more
excuses…put up or shut up. He says the
match will be a sudden death first fall claims it match. The Stache begins choking the Wraith out with
a broom handle. He tries for a pin but
Wraith kicks right out. He then pulled
the Wraith outside and whipped him into the ringpost and the Wraith hit the
post with his back hard. The Stache
pulls him back in and locks in the Handlebar (camel clutch). The Wraith screamed in pain but wouldn’t
quit. The Wraith, finally exhausted,
passed out. The ref raised the arm once,
twice and 3 times it fell. The Stache
wins this one in FAST fashion and goes on for a shot at the World title. (2 min)
The Wraith had to be helped from the ring.
Backstage,
Ravishing Raquel says that with no more Master Bull, it is up to her to win
this final fight between her and Lady Hermann.
Raquel states she’s won multiple titles and battles on her own and
tonight is no different. She says she
will get Hermann to tap out.
Our
final qualifying match is the Hollywood Star taking on the Axe. Max announced that this match would have a 30
minute time limit. Not sure what the Star was trying to accomplish here as he
struggled at first and it took a while for him to find his groove. Unfortunately for him, it didn’t come until
much later in the match and by that time, Axe found his second wind and
nullified any offense he could muster.
Axe hit the Star with the Axe but surprisingly, the Star kicked
out. Axe couldn’t believe it. Star hit a chop block on Axe’s knee taking
him down. He then climbed the top rope
and went for a splash but Axe got his knees up in time. Star rolled on the ground clutching his
stomach. Axe crawled over and hooked the
leg. The ref counted 1-2-3. The Axe gets the win and secures the final
spot in the hunt for the World title. He
favors the knee a bit but seems to be ok.
(23 min)
Lady
Hermann says that tonight Ravishing Raquel is put out to pasture and the NEW
Ladies division finally gets rid of the “divas” and will show that only the
best will survive.
Max
comes out one more time and says that our main event is comprised by two of the
top ladies in the HCW. Max says that
both women are top contenders in their own right but he knows that this,
potentially the end of a feud, should have the “carrot” dangling at the end of
the match. Max says that whomever wins
this match will get a title shot at the Ladies title at a date to be determined
in the future.
Ravishing
Raquel makes her way to the ring to a decent pop from the crowd. Next, Lady Hermann comes out and she is booed
pretty heavily. Lady Hermann started off
strong for 2 minutes but then Raquel proved why she is a multi-time
champion. After Raquel caught Lady
Hermann with a moonsault from the top rope, her ladyship never really
recovered. The rest of the match was all
Raquel. She locked in the Ravishing
Armbar only to have Hermann make it to the ropes. She then hit the Simply Ravishing but Hermann
rolled out of the ring to avoid a pin.
Lady Hermann tried for the Figure Eight leg lock but Raquel neutralized
it. She then tried for a sitout
wheelbarrow facebuster but Raquel once again neutralized it. After laying some knife edge chops on
Raquel, the Ravishing One dropped Hermann with an ankle lock but instead of
going for the submission, she hooked the leg and got a pin out of it. Ravishing Raquel has won this war and stands
victorious. Lady Hermann left the ring
while Raquel celebrated with the fans as the show came to an end.
Thanks
for reading. The PPV is just a short
week away but don’t forget, the Hall of Fame Ceremony will take place before
that. Be sure to stick around.
The
quick recap of our second show:
1) Leon
Teremoto vs Terra Ryzing: Leon submitted
after Terra locked in the Indian Deathlock (8 min)
2) Starbuck
Steel vs Muscles Thorpe: Went to a 20
minute draw. Both men fought to the
back.
3)
Buzz
Steel vs Muscles Weasley: Buzz gets the
win after hitting the Buzzkill (10 min)
4)
Biceps
Bannerman vs Muscles McGuire: Went to a
20 minute draw. After the match, Weasley
and Thorpe rand back down and tried to triple team Biceps but the Steel Curtain
came back out for the save.
5)
Baron
von Blood vs Wendell Hammerschmidt:
Baron got the win via countout after Ant attacked Wendell on the outside
of the ring and Wendell was not able to make it back in. (8 min)
6)
Karl
Braun & Oswald Zimmerman vs Butch Huber & Wilber Townsend: The 5th Column got the win after
Karl had choked Wilber in the corner and then pinned him. (11 min)
7)
Main
Event: Falls count anywhere: Rad Gumbo vs Magnum Kone. ‘The Ragin Cajun’ Rad Gumbo came out with his
manager MJ and was touting his phrase “Gumbo 7:30 means is suppa time
bitch”. Magnum came out second and
stopped with a mic and corrected Rad.
“Actually, its 8:13 and time for dessert.” The fans popped for that. Gumbo didn’t care for it and attacked Magnum
going after his legs and back. Magnum
fought him tooth and nail and really held his own. MJ tried to interfere and got sent to the
back. These guys for all over the place
for over 30 minutes. Magnum thought he
had it won after powerbombing Rad through a table but much to his credit, the
Ragin Cajun kicked out. Magnum would hit
the Popsicle and go for the pin but Rad kept kicking out. Rad concentrated on the back of Magnum by
locking in the New Orleans Crab but Kone would power out of it. Finally, Magnum hit the popsicle again but took
too long to make the cover and Rad kicked out.
Rad then locked Magnum in the New Orleans crab and eventually Magnum
made it to the ropes to break the hold.
Rad pulled Magnum back in and locked in the crab a second time. This time, Magnum was not able to get to the
ropes and had no choice but to tap out.
A very hard fought victory by Rad Gumbo.
He tried to continue to inflict more damage on Kone but the ref sent Rad
away after MJ joined him at ringside again.
Thanks
for sticking with us. Stay tuned for
more.
