HCW Wrestling Newsletter 2016 #540


Hello fans and welcome back to our newsletter.  We are less than 4 weeks away from our February PPV:  All Hail the King.  The show will host a Men’s battle royal and the winner will challenge King CJ for his crown.  Can the Hashtag retain for another year or will the scepter and crown pass along to another willing individual?  Only time will tell.  Also on that card, there will be a Women’s battle royal and the winner of that will take on the Women’s Champion for the gold. 

Printing error was made in the last issue.  It stated the Curtain (Steel Curtain) backed up the ramp when in actuality, it was the 5th Column.  This writer apologizes for the confusion.

The show kicks off in front of the sold out KC crowd with pyro going off. Hometown favorite Master Bull and the Elitist Reid Rothchild come out wearing KC Chiefs jerseys to a HUGE pop from the crowd.  Master Bull gets on the mic.  “KC Fans…we’re back!  The HCW in all its glory comes to the home of the Chiefs.  (pop from the crowd)   Reid and I were talking before the show and I told him that the GREAT city of Kansas city has become nothing more than a cesspool of overpaid and wasted talent.”  The fans go from cheering…stop…and then go sour on them.  “The Chiefs…what a joke.  You know the only thing the Chiefs are good at is CHOKING! Ha ha ha.”  He lets the (now) hatred from the fans wash over him.  “The only thing not soiled by this godforsaken city is this man right here…The Elitist Reid Rothchild.  All you ignorant fans and sports teams…take note.  The Elitist is the purest form of athlete ANYWHERE and will grace this very ring tonight with a defense of HIS championship.”  Reid and Bull remove their jerseys and TEAR them in half throwing them on the ground and then kicking the remnants out of the ring.  Bull and Reid leave the ring laughing as the fans throw stuff at them.

To keep the hatred of the fans flowing, the first match begins with Ant Graham and Dr. Red Fang making their way out to the ring.  I can tell you I’ve never heard Fang get so much heat as what was carried over from Bull’s insulting our hosting town.  Fang enters the ring and screams “VAMPIRE LUNGES FOR EVERYONE!” His opponent Jesse California comes out and receives the exact opposite reaction (because frankly, the fans here want someone they can really cheer for).  Jesse enters the ring and per Ant’s direction, Fang immediately goes on the attack but Jesse is ready for him and the two go toe to toe for 8 minutes.  Ant tried to interfere a couple of times but Jesse quickly dispatched him.  Fang then goes to dropkick Jesse out of the ring but he holds on and is back in immediately and locks in a bodyscissors sleeperhold.  Fang thrashed about for a few seconds before tapping out.  Jesse California wins the match via submission.  Jesse climbs the turnbuckles to celebrate but Ant Graham is in and smacks Jesse with his cane.  Fang recovers and NAILS Jesse with a Vampire Lunge.  He stands over him briefly but as Jesse begins to stir, Fang hits him with a Transylvania Piledriver.  Ant then escorts Dr. Red Fang to the back.  Jesse has to be helped from the ring.  (8 ½ min for the match; 3 for the segment)

Backstage, the Masked Gentleman is watching King CJ’s promo from the last show and he keeps replaying it all to raise his ire.  Once he’s on the verge of exploding, he turns to the camera.  “CJ You pathetic pile of mouth manure! You think that you can get a woman like Miss Samantha? Pfft, I saw you get rejected on EHarmony! Look Punk, You have NO CHANCE of getting a girl Like Miss Samantha, EVER! And, its going to be MY Pleasure to rake your royal face through the steel cage, you won’t be King after that...more like a Joker...So keep on talking, your words don’t mean a Damn thing. You either put up, or shut up....better yet #GladBag just shut up, and I will see you in the ring.  Oh and keep your grubby hands off my M&M’s!"  MG drops the Mic and heads back to his dressing room.

We head back to the ring for our next match.  First, Starr Vixen makes her way out to the ring and she gets a good pop from the crowd.  Next, her opponent Scarlett Phoenix makes her way out and she too gets a pop from the crowd.  The two ladies shake hands and the bell rings. This one moved a bit more slowly as both women were actually employing TECHNICAL wrestling.  The fans who would have normally been bored with this actually got into the match cheering both women on.  About 11 minutes in, Starr is whipped into the corner and as Scarlett approached, Starr began to choke her on the top rope.  The fans began booing her.  Scarlett began to fight back but Starr nailed vicious clothesline which saw Scarlett’s head bounce off the mat.  Starr went for the pin and got the 1-2-3.  After the match, she simmered down and went to check on Scarlett.  After seeing she was ok, Starr raised Scarlett’s arm and the two received pops from the crowd.  (13 min)

Backstage, Magnum Kone, one half of the Tag Team Champs was supposed to be on the card tonight but he told the match makers he couldn’t wrestle tonight and needed to leave.  Wondering what they were going to do, the Crocodile Hunter walks over and agrees to take the match. 

We go back to the ring for Match #3.  First, Canada’s own The Savior comes out and he is booed pretty mercilessly.  His opponent Mr. Wrestling V comes out and he gets the pop which infuriates the Savior.  The Savior attacks the masked man as soon as he entered the ring not even allowing him to remove his robe.  Mr. Wrestling fought back and for 5 minutes, owned the match.  After being dazzled by the Laying of the Hands, the Savior went on an offensive tear and V could not keep up.  The Savior nailed a powerbomb for a 2 count.  He tried for the powerbomb a second time but V nullified it only to be dropped by a package DDT.  After more back and forth action, the Savior hit V with a Brainbuster but V was too close to the ropes and got his foot under it.  He picked up V who locked in a front chancery but got his teeth rattled by a vicious uppercut and then was dropped with the Package DDT.  The Savior makes the cover and gets the 3 count.  The Savior wins the match much to the chagrin of the fans.  He doesn’t care as he soaks it all in (including all the soda and beer thrown his way) and he eventually leaves.  (16 min)

The Steel Curtain are backstage and they are getting ready for their match but when they go to look at the lineup board, they see that their match was cancelled.  Clearly upset, they go to find GM Max McGillicutty.

We’re back in the ring and the Crocodile Hunter makes his way to the ring to a good pop from the crowd.  His opponent for the evening is Ivan Dragovich who comes out to a decent reaction.  Ivan used his power to control the match but the Crocodile Hunter countered with his speed and that kept his hopes alive.  Croc was able to take the beating from Ivan for a full 20 minutes and after catching the Russian with a kick to the gut, the bell rang bringing this one to a draw.  Ivan extended his hand and at first, Croc slapped it away but after regaining his composure, he and Ivan shook hands and left the ring.  (20 min draw)

The Steel Curtain knock and enter Max’s office.  Buzz and Starbuck question why they flew all the way out here after being told they have a match only to have it scrapped at the last minute.  Tempers started to flair and Max and he decides he’s had enough.  He says he’s suspending the Steel Curtain.  Surprisingly, Buzz and Starbuck seem to be ok with it. 

Max:  You guys keep pushing and as much as I hate to do it, I’m going to have to suspend you.  I think two months away should cool the two of you down.
Starbuck:  Max, you say you want to do what’s best for business, well then, so do we.
Buzz:  You do what you got to do and WE’LL do what we’ve got to do.
Max:  What is that supposed to mean?
Starbuck:  Nothing and Everything.  See you in two months.
Buzz:  Word

The Steel Curtain leave and Max wonders if this was the right thing to do.  Only time will tell.

We go back to the ring for the next match.  Biceps Bannerman makes his way out and he doesn’t look to be in a very good mood.  Since he and the Steel Curtain were supposed to be teaming once again to go after the 6 man titles and now the Steel Curtain were suspended, Bannerman will be forced to remain in singles competition.  Fortunately for him, his opponent is one member of the 5th Column and Ant Graham comes out with Baron von Blood.  With Graham interfering, Baron went on the very aggressive offense until about the 8 minute mark when Biceps caught the Baron with a Bicep’s Crunch (bearhug).  After that, Biceps went on a tear dropping Baron and Ant with huge forearms.  After tossing the Baron around like a rag doll, he nailed him with a spinebuster.  Baron kicked out at two and Graham pulled him out of the ring.  The two wearily made their way up the ramp and to the back getting counted out.  Biceps gets the win via CO and he’s not all that happy with it.  He eventually leaves.  (17 ½ min)

We cut back to Max’s office and it appears that he just ended a phone call.  He says that he just got a team to temporarily fill the vacancy left by the Steel  Curtain and that they should be here next week.

It’s time for the main event that will be for the Elitist title.  Reid’s opponent comes out first and it’s none other than Turnip.  Turnip makes his way to the ring to a pop from the crowd.  Reid’s music hits and he and Master Bull come out and if it were even possible, the hatred and venom being spewed was even viler than before.  If Reid thought this was going to be a cake walk, he was mistaken.  Even though Reid overpowered his opponent, Turnip had the gumption to stay right there with the champ.  Reid distracted the ref and Bull took a chair and hit Turnip in the knee with it.  Reid then pulled Turnip into the center of the ring and locked in the Figure Four Reid Lock.  Turnip gave up almost immediately do to the pain.  Reid Rothchild successfully defends his title.  (7 min)  The show comes to an end with Bull and Reid standing in the ring while the fans throw cups and drinks at them. 


Stay Tuned Fans as things are really beginning to heat up.
