HCW Wrestling Newsletter 2016 #518 – PPV fallout


Hello fans and welcome back to our newsletter.  As expected, there is quite a bit of fallout from October’s PPV Halloween Scream.  The PPV yielded the end of a feud between Magnum Kone and Rad Gumbo but with Pete the PUN-isher getting involved, it looks like a new feud has kicked off.  We did hear that Pete will be addressing the fans later regarding his actions.  Also, we saw the Steel Curtain defeat the Smashers in a steel cage to become the new World Tag Team Champions.  Buzz and Starbuck also got their hands on manager MJ and dealt with him appropriately.  Ravishing Raquel retained her Ladies title but her ‘fan’ made her presence known.   In fact, ‘Ravishing’ Ruby Princess makes her in-ring debut tonight.  Lastly, the Stache retained his world title in the 3 way battle against the returning King CJ and Baron von Blood.  Now that we got that out of the way, let’s get this show started.

The first match of the night is Outback Oscar vs Jesse California.  For the first 11 minutes, both men looked really strong but after Jesse connected with the Zig-Zag, he took over and owned the rest of the match.  Oscar, though, had a great ring presence and kept kicking out of the pin or submission attempts for the next 9 minutes.  The bell finally rang bringing this one to a draw.  Jesse was a little frustrated but both men shook hands much to the delight of the fans.  (20 min draw)

Backstage, Master Bull makes an appearance and says that Reid’s ankle was badly sprained but not broken.  Bull tells ScooterJ to enjoy life right now but Reid will be back and he’ll be bigger, stronger and faster.

Pete the PUN-isher makes his way out to the ring much to the dismay of the fans.  He grabs the mic and proceeds to explain why he attacked Magnum. 

“Magnum and all you dumb people want to know why I attacked the King of the Throne (and not the royal kind).  First, when I came to the HCW, the first person I met backstage was Magnum Kone and he just dismissed me.  He didn’t even remember the slight he caused me.  Let me take you back 20 years…yes, I harbor grudges for a long time…I was a kid visiting an Ice Cream shop and guess who was behind the counter...that’s right…a much younger Magnum Kone.  In fact, he was a jerk to all the kids who came in for ice cream. He would bore people about how he and his brother were going to become professional wrestlers.  Well, one day I went in for my double scoop and they were out of my favorite flavor!  How hard is it for an ice cream shop to stock up on ice cream?  Anyway, I asked him when more was coming and he told me ‘Beat it kid, I don’t have time for your stupid questions’.  I left disappointed (and minus some ice cream) and ever since then, I’ve hated Ice Cream vendors and ESPECIALLY this guy.  Fast forward 20 years and here I am and where is he?  Back in the hospital nursing his wounds.  Magnum, 20 years ago, you picked on the wrong kid and now, today, you have to deal with THIS MAN!  Before I go, it’s time for some puns.”  The fans groan.

Magnum? More like MagNumb skull!
You’re going to cone-nect your FACE with my FIST!
I’m going to ice-creamate you!
The fans boo as Pete makes his way to the back.

Backstage, P&L members Phat Sol and ‘Red Hot’ Lucas Johnston complain that they got left out of the tag team tournament and they are now bringing the fight to the Steel Curtain.  It is only a matter of time before they become champions.

We head back to the ring for our next match.  Sarona Reiher makes her way down to the ring and she is booed.  Newcomer ‘Ravishing’ Ruby Princess makes her way out and she is dressed (and looks) exactly like Ravishing Raquel.  She appears to have copied her moves and attitude.  For about 6 minutes, Sarona held the slight edge but after that, Ruby turned up the volume and OWNED the remainder of the match (Sarona only got in 3 offensive moves the rest of the match).  Ruby nailed ‘Ruby’s Simply Ravishing’ but Sarona hit a Samoan drop.  Sarona hit a second one but then got tossed out of the ring by Ruby.  As soon as she got back in, Ruby threw her out again and Sarona said she had enough.  She ended up walking out and ended up getting counted out.  Ruby gets her first win via countout.  The fans still weren’t sure how to take her so she got a mixed reaction as she left the ring.  (13 ½ min)

Backstage, King CJ says that Baron Von Blood has drawn the ire of the Hashtag and now, he’s next.

We go back to the ring for more action.  Handsome Hernandez comes out first and he is booed pretty heavily.  Adam Jameson comes out next and gets a good pop.  Hernandez goes on the offensive right off the bat and AJ stayed with him but eventually fell behind under the onslaught from Hernandez.  However, the Handsome One couldn’t get the job done.  AJ had great ring presence and actually survived until the bell rang bringing this one to a draw.  AJ left before Hernandez could do anything else.  (20 min draw)

It is announced that Lucas Johnston gets a title shot at the Hardcore title.  Phat wonders about him and is told he gets Biceps Bannerman tonight.  Phat groans.

The 5th Column members Oswald Zimmerman and the ‘turncoat’ Wendell Hammerschmidt make their way out accompanied by their manager Ant Graham.  They are booed very heavily.  Their opponents The Ryzing Storm (Terra and Travis Ryzing) come out and are cheered only because the 5th Column is hated more.  The Ryzing Storm took the match to their opponents and about 15 min in, the Muscles Trio came out and started parading around the ring causing a distraction.  Travis caught Oswald with a running powerslam and got the pin while Ant Graham and Wendell were distracted.  The Ryzing Storm gets a rare win but Wendell took them out with chair shots.  They then chases the Muscles Trio from ringside waving the chairs.  (19 min)

World Champion the Stache says he’s continuing with his title defenses and says that he’s offering the next shot to Drew the Canadian Love Machine.  When asked why he didn’t want to defend against the Wraith, Stache says the Wraith just isn’t worthy.

We head back to the ring for more Ladies action.  The Duchess comes out first and she is booed.  She doesn’t care.  Madame Jade comes out next and gets a good pop.  The Duchess doesn’t like that so she attacks Jade before the bell.  This was another hard fought one.  Both ladies brought their A game and the fans were pretty astonished by their performance.  Jade definitely looked stronger in this one but Southern Belle coming out towards the end of the match didn’t do any favors for the Duchess.  Jade used the distraction to hit the Jade Breaker but the bell rang before she could make the pin.  Belle slid into the ring and waited for Duchess to get up.  She struggled to her feet only to get dropped by the Southern Swing.  Belle stood over her staring at her before leaving.  (20 min draw)

‘Red Hot’ Lucas Johnston says he’s ready to cash in and become the new champ.  The match type doesn’t faze him as he will be victorious.

Phat Sol and his manager the Ambassador make their way down to the ring.  They are booed pretty heavily.  Biceps Bannerman makes his way out and gets almost the biggest pop of the night.  For 8 minutes, Phat and Biceps went toe to toe.  Biceps looked to drop Phat with a powerslam but the Ambassador got involved and after eye raking Biceps, Phat hit a jaw jacker for a 2 count.  The Ambassador then kept interjecting himself in the match under the ref’s radar keeping Biceps in the defensive.  The Ambassador tripped Biceps at the ropes and Biceps just about had enough.  He started to go after the Ambassador but Phat hit another jaw jacker and he made the cover (with his feet on the ropes for leverage) and got the 1-2-3.  Phat Sol steals a win.  Biceps, pissed off, chased Phat and the Ambassador from ringside.  (13 min)

Drew, the Canadian Love Machine is backstage and heard that he was getting a title shot at the Stache.  “The World Champ the Stache has granted me a fantastic opportunity and I will make the best of it.  Win or Lose, I will give it my all.”

It’s time for the main event.  First, the challenger ‘Red Hot’ Lucas Johnston makes his way to the ring.  He, of course, is booed.  Next, the Hardcore champion the Fiend makes his way out to a big pop.  He makes it to the ring and is asked what type of match he wants.  He settles on ECW rules.  Red Hot was red hot in this one and the champ struggled to keep up with his opponent.  Lucas set up the Fiend in the corner with a chair and then hit a flying dropkick pushing the chair into the Fiend’s face.  Lucas went for a pin but somehow the champ kicked out.  After some more back and forth, Lucas bounced the Fiend’s face off the ringside barrier.  He took too long to get the Fiend back into the ring as the champ kicked out at 1.  The Fiend hit the Last Caress but only got a 2 count.  The Fiend got to his feet and picked up the steel chair.  He then walloped Lucas not once, not twice but three times.  The Fiend made the cover and got the 3 count.  The Fiend retains his title in this hard fought match.  (9 min)


Thanks for reading.  Be sure to come back for more action.
