Hello
wrestling fans and welcome back to our newsletter. The show begins, not with fanfare and
fireworks, but an appearance by GM Max McGillicutty. Max, somber, tells the fans in attendance
that reality has interfered with the fantasy world of the HCW. The man ‘behind’ the Masked Gentleman, Ralph
Majewski has passed away. Max says that
today’s show will be a tribute show to the masked man. Max looks up to the
Omegatron and a picture of the Masked Gentleman appears.
The
fans stand and applaud and (probably for the first time ever) start an “MG”
chant. Max says that since MG was the
reigning Hardcore champion, the belt he possessed will be retired and will be
the final holder of that belt. A new
belt will be created and a tournament will be held to crown a new Hardcore
champion.
Max
says that tonight there will be no storylines on the show; just a bunch of
people who want to pay tribute to the man that who did his best to make
everyone’s life miserable.
A
mysterious figure sits in a chair in a dark room and then a light comes on and
it is the hashtag – CJ. “it is with a
heavy heart that the hashtag speaks to you tonight but unfortunately we have
lost a true entertainer and competitor
in MG ---the masked gentleman... his short appearance in the ring brought many
a good matches and even better promos!!!
This man was destined to be a true legend, unfortunately like many
legends, his career was cut way too short.
So tonight the hashtag will not make a challenge, will not rant rave or
belittle... tonight the hashtag is truly stunned and will only mourn the loss
of this legend, and a life cut too soon...”
CJ then leaves the room.
Match
#1: Super Shockmaster vs Superquake Ferguson: The two men squared off in the ring and with
this one, there was no “good guy vs bad guy”; it was just two guys putting on a
show for the fans. Super Shockmaster
dominated the match with Ferguson getting a little run in himself but in the
end, SS hits his patented Clothesline and makes the cover to get the
1-2-3. (19 min)
Match
#2: Phat Sol vs Mr. Wrestling #5: Phat is accompanied to the ring by his
manager the Ambassador. Both men shake
hands as this one kicks off. Mr.
Wrestling #5 stayed one step ahead of Phat and even though the Ambassador tried
to give Phat some advice, MW5 dictated the pace and after delivering an elbow
smash, made the cover to get the 3 count.
(11 min)
A
vignette airs with the Super Shockmaster:
"We never got to settle things, and our war of words and ticket
dispensers now ceases. Take your heat elsewhere, to that ring filled with
'Animal's and 'Russian Bear's. They must have needed a Masked Gentleman,
wherever they are."
Match
#3: Pete the PUN-isher & Magnum Kone
vs Ferb & Junior Huber. The
Ambassador comes out with the tag team champs but the belts are not on the line
tonight. The Hubers had control very
early on and continued the success throughout most of the match. Once Magnum tagged in, it all changed and they
started on an offensive run. Once Pete
thought they were beat down enough, he tagged in but Junior caught him right
away with the Mountain Man Cutter and got the pin. The Huber’s win this one. (17 min)
Match
#4: The Stache vs the Fiend. The Fiend was the one MG defeated to become
the Hardcore champion in the first place and he seemed bound and determined to
put on a good show in his memory. The
Fiend put it all on the line and he owned the match. From hitting the Devil’s Reign to the Devil’s
Lock, the Fiend had the Stache’s number here.
Finally, after reversing a Tombstone attempt from the Stache, the Fiend
nails him with the Last Caress (swinging DDT).
He makes the cover and gets the 3 count.
The Fiend wins this one. Both men
shake hands to a standing ovation from the crowd. (13 min)
A vignette airs
from Texas Wildfire: “When I started wrasslin', my mentor Dusty Rhodes told me, ‘There
will always be a man that has ya number. He'll be the thorniest of the thorns
in ya side.’ Since my time here in the HCW, there's been one man who was always
the thorn in my side. That man was the Masked Gentleman. Our war was brutal,
but I always had respect for MG. We weren't friends, but I always had respect
for MG. When we were in the ring together we tore the house down. We went back
and forth and pushed each other to be the best we could be inside and outside
of the ring. I'll miss that. Thank you MG.”
Match
#5: Triple Threat Match: King Wilber Townsend vs Hangman #3 vs Sonic
Blade. All three men made their way to
the ring without a lot of fanfare.
Hangman #3 got involved a little in the match but it was more about King
Wilber taking on Sonic Blade. Sonic
controlled the match but just couldn’t keep anyone down for a 3 count. Finally, the bell rings bringing this to a
time limit draw. All 3 men get a
standing ovation from the crowd as they head to the back. (30 min draw)
Match
#6: Two of our ladies requested to be on
tonight’s show: El Gato Negro vs Ruby
Princess. Both women shook hands once they
got in the ring. El Gato had full
control of the match but the longer it went on, Ruby began to become more of a
threat. Out of nowhere, Ruby hits the
Ruby’s Simply Ravishing to get the 3 count.
Both women shook hands afterwards.
(19 min)
A
vignette airs from The Fiend: “When I
was told I’d be fighting the Masked Gentleman, I had to do some research on the
guy and got to know his character as well as the man behind the mask and he was
one of a kind. RIP my friend.”
Match
#7: The Mexicali Flyers vs the
Desperados. Both teams received healthy
reception from the crowd. All 4 men
shook hands and the Flyers assumed immediate control of the match. Lots of high flying from the Flyers was
countered by the ground game from the Desperados. El Dragon Insano connects with an insane
flying dropkick on Leon Teremoto and gets the 1-2-3. The Mexicali Flyers win this one. All 4 men
shake hands afterwards. (9 min)
It’s
time for our Main Event.
Main
Event: Match #8: Champion vs Champion but no titles are on the
line. First, the US Champion Texas
Wildfire comes out to a huge pop from the crowd. Next, the World Champion Drew the Canadian
Love Machine comes out and the volume is equally as intense. Both men shake
hands and it kicks off. I’ve got to tell
you, this match was the most intense with the top two guys in the HCW giving
their all. For 9 minutes, neither man
gave an inch. Once Drew hit the first
corkscrew pescado, things began to go his way.
Regardless of what Drew hit him with, TW just wouldn’t stay down. Finally, Drew is able to connect with another
corkscrew pescado and this time, he gets the 3 count. Drew wins the match but the fans gave just as
much credit to the US Champion Texas Wildfire.
Both men shook hands as they left the ring.
Ralph
MG Majewski tribute show. A video montage airs of MG’s funniest moments.
After
the video is done, Turnip comes out and he is carrying MG’s favorite food –
Prime Rib. A table is set up in the ring
and he places it on the table and lights a single candle. Next, MG’s manager Miss Samantha comes down
to the ring carrying his fedora and mask.
She places them on the table.
Lastly, CJ makes his way to the ring and he’s carrying a bag. He gets into the ring. He opens the bag he’s carrying and it’s a jar
of teal colored M&M’s. CJ then opens the jar and empties the
contents into a bowl on the table. The
roster comes out and stands on the stage.
Max comes out with the owners Mr. Bychowski & Mr. Meyers and joins
the roster on stage. CJ then points to MG’s
picture as a 10 bell salute rings.
The
light dim and the show comes to an end.
From
everyone in the HCW, we thank you MG – Ralph Majewski - the Masked Gentleman – for
entertaining us and providing us with a character we loved to hate.
