Hello
fans and welcome back to our newsletter.
We’re back in Phoenix and are actually seeing a nice break in the
weather which is making things more enjoyable.
The
show starts off back in GM Max McGillicutty’s office. Sitting there with him are the Savior and the
new US Champion Drew, the Canadian Love Machine. Drew admonishes the Savior for his cowardly
attack after he won the belt and tells Max he wants the Savior in the
ring. The Savior states he will only
accept the challenge based on two stipulations.
1) the US title must be on the line and 2) he wants a ‘Canadian Brawl
Games Rules’ match. Drew accepts almost
immediately. Max has them sign the
contract and that match will take place at our next show. Max then directs both men to leave the arena
and says that any interaction on these premises will result in this match being
cancelled. Both men stare at each other
and then leave.
After
the pyro has finished, our first match begins.
Southern Belle makes her way out to scout this match. First, Taylor Bella makes her way out to the
ring. She is booed because the fans know
it was her behind the “Tonya Harding” attack on Madame Jade. Her opponent, Scarlet Phoenix, comes out next
to a pop from the crowd. Taylor doesn’t
take to the fan favorite so she attacks her before the bell. Scarlett fights back and then the bell
rings. The two slug it out until Madame
Jade, Taylor’s former tag team partner, makes her way down to the ring towards
the end of the match. Just as Taylor was
setting Scarlett up for the Bella Blast, she noticed Jade standing at
ringside. She then turned to jawjack
with her and not realizing where they were with time, the bell rang signaling a
time limit draw. Taylor got mad and
started kicking he ropes. Jade got
closer to the ring and Taylor began to back off. Once Madame Jade got in the ring, Taylor
jumped out and made her way to the back.
Madame Jade took the mic and said that she’s healthy once again and
ready for in ring competition. Tonight,
she is challenging Ravishing Raquel to a match.
The fans pop for her as she leaves.
(20 min draw). Southern Belle
looks pleased and continues to jot down notes in her tablet.
Backstage,
cousins Butch and Junior Huber states that they are getting a shot at the World
Tag Team champs tonight. Junior states
that unlike the Smashers, they won’t need a manager in their corner to help
them win. Butch says that they will do
family proud once they bring home the gold.
ScooterJ
makes his way down to the ring. He calls
out TV champion ‘The Elitist’ Reid Rothchild saying that after he beat him, he
wants a shot at the TV title. Jerry
Saunders comes out instead and tells ScooterJ that in fact HE is the next in
line for a TV shot however, if he wants to try to go through him, he’s more
than willing to try. This leads to an
impromptu match between the two. TV
Champion Reid Rothchild makes an appearance and goes to sit at commentary to
scout the match. 5 minutes in, ScooterJ
took Saunders to the outside of the ring where he repeatedly threw him into the
steel steps. He kept rolling back in the
ring to break the count. Finally, after
about 3 minutes on the outside of the ring (and softened Jerry up quite a bit),
he brought the action back into the ring.
Saunders got pretty softened up however he got ScooterJ locked in the
Traitor Lock but made it to the ropes to break the hold. Saunders then tossed ScooterJ out of the ring
and used that time to catch his breath.
Jerry tried to bring ScooterJ back in the hard way but ScooterJ instead
pulled down Jerry’s head and snapped it on the top rope. Jerry staggered back in the ring. ScooterJ then nailed a superkick and then
hooked the tights for the 1-2-3.
ScooterJ wins yet another one. He
turns and yells at Reid that he wants his title match later tonight. Reid
accepts. (13 min)
Hardcore
champion the Fiend makes an appearance and says that he will meet Dr. Red Fang
in a rematch for his title but Fang will once again leave empty handed.
We
head back to the ring for our next match.
First, led by Ant Graham, out comes the 5th Column – Karl
Braun, Oswald Zimmerman and Baron von Blood.
They, of course, are booed pretty heavily. Next, their opponents the team comprised of
Jesse California, the Axe and Dude USA Mick Rude come out to a pretty big
pop. Graham has the 5th
Column attack early but their opponents fight them off and stand in the ring
while Graham regroups with his team on the outside. Finally, they are ready for action and this
one finally begins. Dude USA starts off
but for three minutes, he is secluded in the ring. Finally, he makes the hot tag to the Axe who
hurls Oswald out of the ring. He storms
back in and with chair in hand, nails the Axe with it resulting in a disqualification. GM Max McGillicutty comes out and says that
this is a cheap and crappy way for Graham to try and get out of matches so he
says he will restart it and this time, makes it a no countout/DQ match. The team led by Jesse California owned the
match for the first 11 minutes of the match until he gets clocked by a brass
knuckle shot from Oswald. Oswald went
for a quick pin but the Axe made the save.
Jesse recovered quickly and went after Graham. He caught him with a standing dropkick that
sent Graham flying into the crowd effectively taking him out of this
match. Meanwhile, the Axe and Dude USA
were cleaning house. Jesse asked for the
hot tag and got brought back in. Karl Braun and the Baron ran over knocking
both Axe and Mick Rude from the apron. All
3 men quickly triple teamed Jesse and Oswald nailed a German suplex. He made the cover and before Mick and the Axe
realized what had happened, Jesse got pinned.
They rush back in as the 5th Column tried to continue the
attack on Jesse but saved him from additional harm. The 5th Column grabbed Ant Graham
and the celebrated on their way to the back.
(4 min for first match; 15 for the second)
Backstage
in the interview area, TV Champion ‘the Elitist’ Reid Rothchild is with his
wife Ravishing Raquel and his manager Master Bull. Bull reminds Reid he can’t be at ringside to
help him for this match but once Reid proves his dominance, he’ll be right back
at his side. Reid said that ScooterJ did
look impressive but he is not at Reid’s level and he will prove that tonight. Raquel then steps in and says that in one
short week, she will challenge the Duchess for the Ladies title and after she
wins, she will be the top athlete in their division.
We
head back to the ring for our next Ladies match. Southern Belle comes out once again and she
takes a mic. She tells the fans that
after this last match, she will be offering a manager contract to a lucky
winner and that person will have the wealth and breadth of knowledge that Belle
will bring as a manager and promises the first match they will have will be
against the Ladies Champion. Huge pop
from the crowd. Belle sits at
commentary. First, Madame Jade comes out
and receives a pop. She is then followed
out by Ravishing Raquel who also receives a pop. However, the fans change their tune once
Ladies Champion the Duchess makes her way out and after passing by the ring,
goes to confront Belle. Tempers begin to
flare but are quickly squashed as the two sit amicably at opposite sides of the
commentary table. Another pop from the
crowd as El Gato Negro rushes down making a beeline for the Ladies
Champion. The Duchess grabs her title
and takes off through the crowd. She
follows her. Madame Jade stayed in
control for almost the entire match. It
wasn’t that Raquel was looking weak, she appeared to just be biding her
time. Finally, when that time
approached, Raquel opened up the floodgates.
Raquel hurled Jade into the corner and her arm connected with the steel
post. Jade tried to fight back with an
uppercut but Raquel pulled Jade’s leg out from under her and put her in an
ankle lock. Jade made it to the ropes to
break the hold only to be picked up and have the Ravishing Chickenwing applied
to her bad arm. Jade tried but couldn’t
get out of the hold and had no choice but to tap out. Ravishing Raquel locked up another win. Raquel glanced at Belle briefly before
leaving. Belle went in and helped up
Madame Jade and raised her good arm to get a pop from the crowd. Belle then DROPPED her with a vicious
clothesline. She laughed as she stood
over Madame Jade and then announced that she was going to manage…and then she
stopped. She dropped the mic, flipped
off the crowd and then left.
The
Smashers with MJ are backstage and say that tonight, they are putting the
entire tag team division on notice and that they will destroy anyone who gets
in the ring with them.
We
head back to the ring for our next match.
Butch and ‘Mountain Man’ Junior Huber come out first and they are
accompanied by their cousin Wilber Townsend. Wilber wishes his cousins best of
luck and they head to the ring. Next,
the Smashers come out with their manager MJ and they block Wilber’s way. He tries to go around but the Smashers still
block his path. Then they attack Wilber
and then HURL him from the stage to the pit below. The fans chant “Holy Shit” and the Hubers in
the ring freak out. They charge and
brawl with the champs who take it back to the ring. The Smashers controlled the first few minutes
but after Ferb Huber came out and distracted MJ did the tide turn. After walloping on the champs for a few
minutes, Junior hurled Smasher #1 out of the ring. MJ decided to cut his losses. He grabbed the
champs and they headed up the ramp getting counted out. The Huber Clan stood united in the ring as
the Smashers and MJ sulked away.
However, it was their turn to be blocked as the Steel Curtain (Buzz and
Starbuck Steel) came out to block their path.
The Smashers tried to muscle through but the Steel Curtain were armed
with “steel” of their own in the form of steel chairs and beat down on the
champs pushing them back to the ring.
They forced them back into the ring right into the waiting arms of the
Huber Clan and the Clan just tore them a new one. Finally, after hitting each of the Huber’s
with a low blow, they ran and escaped through the crowd. They kept going and didn’t turn back. Their manager MJ, did not manage to escape
and was held at bay by the Steel Curtain.
When it was apparent the champs weren’t coming back, they fed MJ to the
Huber Clan and left. The Huber’s then
just laid MJ out. The Huber’s celebrated over the unconscious form of MJ before
departing to the back. (5 ½ min for the
match; 15 for the segment)
Backstage,
Billy Robbins calls out Handsome Hernandez and challenges him 1:1 to a
match. He dares him to face him like a
man and not to hide from him or Hernandez will always be watching over his
shoulder.
It’s
time for our main event. First, the
challenger ScooterJ comes out to booing from the fans. He doesn’t care. Next, ‘The Elitist’ Reid Rothchild comes out
and he looks pumped. The two have a
quick staredown in the ring and then as soon as the bell rang, we were
off. This match was nothing short of a
train wreck. ScooterJ was DESTROYING
Reid and it was like Reid never bothered to even prepare for this match. ScooterJ went for 6 pin attempts during the
match but Reid kept just enough ring presence to know where he was and either
kick out or make it to the ropes. The
camera cut to the back a few times focusing on Master Bull who was watching
this. He kept covering his face and
mumbled “I should be out there…why didn’t I just go?” Finally, he had enough and took off towards
the ring. He rushed down to the ring,
grabbed a chair and slid it in. He then
went to try and distract the ref. Reid
and ScooterJ grabbed the chair and fought over it. ScooterJ won the tug of war and then dropped
to the mat (making it look like ScooterJ hit him with the chair). The ref, seeing ScooterJ in possession of the
chair and Reid “unconscious” on the mat, immediately disqualified ScooterJ and
awarded the match to Reid. Reid
Rothchild retains his belt barely. Reid
slowly makes it to his feet and goes over to Master Bull who he shakes hands
with. Bull doesn’t let up on the grip
quite fast enough and ScooterJ attacks Reid again. Bull just stands there with a “deer in the
headlights” look. Bull then finally
snaps out of it and…joins in the attack on Reid. WHAT THE HELL IS GOING
ON? ScooterJ picks up Reid and with the
direction from Master Bull, piledrives him on the chair still in the ring. Master Bull goes over and raises the arm of
ScooterJ as the show comes to an end.
Stay
Tuned as there WILL be HELL to pay after what just transpired.
