HCW Wrestling Newsletter 2017 #552


Hello fans and welcome back to our newsletter.  Well, I guess we now know that the person stalking the Stache was Dr. Red Fang.  Well, if he wanted to get the attention of the Hardcore Champion, he did.  The Stache is not here today but did send us a video response that will air later.

Pyro goes off as the first match of the night kicks off. The Axe comes out first and is booed pretty heavily.  He flips off the fans and makes his way to the ring.  His opponent tonight is Talon McFrost.  Axe attacks before the bell and never let up.  He kept beating down Talon but he refused to give up.  Axe thought he had it locked up after connecting with the Axe but Talon got his foot on the rope and that just pissed the Axe off even more.  In the final moments of the match, the two stood toe to toe slugging it out and the bell rang bringing this one to a draw.  The bell kept ringing as the two would not stop fighting.  A bunch of refs ran out and tried to separate them.  It took a few minutes but they eventually got them separated and escorted out of the ring.  I’m sure this one is not over between them.

Backstage, The Savior says he really didn’t mean he’d give Croc the match and says he would have said anything to get the ‘gullible one’ to let him go.  He laughs saying Croc is a dumb hick and is clueless to his level of intelligence.

We head back to the ring where the former ‘Queen’ Juliette Beckett stands and she demands that the Duchess return her crown.  The Duchess is not here tonight and says she wants a fight.  Taylor Bella comes out and says she’ll accept the match as it gives her more ‘in-ring’ time.  Beckett tells her she picked the wrong person to get mouthy to as she’s here to fight.  She tells Taylor to put her ‘spot’ on the line and Taylor agrees.

Beckett must have let her frustration blind her as Taylor beat the HOLY HELL out of her (It took Beckett 3 minutes to get in one offensive move).  After that, she got in a total of 4 more offensive moves and the rest wall all Taylor.  At the end of the match, Taylor nailed Beckett with a running kneelift that sent her crashing first face into the turnbuckle.  Taylor made the cover and got the 1-2-3.  Taylor Bella wins this one in dominating fashion.  (18 min)  Taylor retains her spot for the Ladies title lineup.

A vignette airs with the Steel Curtain (Buzz & Starbuck Steel) on a deep sea fishing boat out in the Caribbean.  They seem to really be enjoying their “suspension”.  The camera pans to them and Starbuck holds up a massive grouper he brought in and is all smiles.  The camera pans to Buzz who is holding up an Angelfish and he looks all sad.

We head back to the ring for the next match.  Otto Ruthless comes out first to a mixed reaction from the crowd.  Next, the Fiend comes out to his Misfits music and gets a huge pop.   Otto is in the ring pacing.  The Fiend gets in, removes his jacket and is ready to get this one underway.   The Fiend was just too quick for Otto and stayed a few steps ahead of his opponent for the entire (short) match. Fiend caught him with a dropkick and a running clothesline.  Otto finally gets a move in and nails a back body drop.  The Fiend is up almost immediately and nailed the Last Caress (swinging DDT).  He made the cover and got the pin.  The fans pop as the Fiend has his arm raised in victory.  (3 min)

Max says the ratings were in from the memorial show and it got lots of views.  He says that the match between US Champion Texas Wildfire and the World Champion Drew the Canadian Love Machine blew the fans away.  He thinks he may have to work on something there.

We go back to the ring for our next match.  Making a rare singles appearance, led by his manager MJ, is Smasher #1.  He is being challenged for his spot by this man.  Out comes Wendell Hammerschmidt.  Wendell gets a pop as the fans hate the Smashers.  MJ says that the loser of this match should be out of the running for this belt.  Wendell reluctantly agrees.  This one doesn’t go very long as Wendell, surprisingly, went toe to toe with the much bigger man.  MJ continued to shout instructions but they fell on deaf ears.  Wendell got lucky and hurled Smasher #1 out of the ring.  He then hit the ropes and launched himself over the top rope right on to his opponent.  Wendell battled Smasher #1 up the ramp for only a few seconds and then rushed back into the ring to break the 10 count.  Smasher #1 loses the match to Wendell via countout and is completely out of the top 10.  MJ berated his charge for not heeding his words.  They left as Wendell celebrated in the ring.  (2 ½ min)

A video then airs with the Stache addressing the sneak attack from Dr. Red Fang.  “Part of me knew something was up and it had to come from someone as diabolical as Fang.  You know Fang, I’ve held multiple titles in HCW including World Champion.  You cost me the chance to reclaim it. Now you have my full attention.  You want this belt I’m holding?  Come and try to take it from me.  You set foot in the ring against me and you’ll sincerely wish you hadn’t.”

We head back to the ring for the next match.  Bishop Ripley comes out first to a mixed reaction from the crowd.  Next, Biceps Bannerman comes out to a huge pop. (The camera cuts to Reid’s dressing room where he and Master Bull are watching the crowd reaction and Reid comments that he wants that guy on his team.)  The two of them lock up.  To everyone’s surprise, Ripley dominated the bigger, stronger Bannerman.  Bishop was fast and hit Biceps with everything he had including taking the big man off his feet twice will well-placed flying dropkicks.  Ripley was calling for the Alien Resurrection but Bannerman reversed it and hit an AWESOME spinebuster.  Biceps makes the cover and luckily gets the pin.  Ripley was up a few moments later and starred daggers at Bannerman as he walked away.  (15 min)

Once again, we are in the interview area and the Desperados are there commenting on the Mexicali Flyers and Leon Teremoto issues a challenge to them for the next show.  El Chango says he’d bet they don’t show.

It’s time for the Main Event:  US champion Texas Wildfire takes on the Savior in a non-title match.  If Savior wins, he gets his title shot at home in Montreal.  Wildfire starts off like his name states but the Savior “accidentally” took the ref out early.  The Savior then used a chair multiple times on the US Champion.  Just as the ref was recovering, the Savior executed a powerbomb right on the chair.  He got rid of it pretty quick and made the cover.  The ref counted 1…2….3.  The Savior wins the match (in once again questionable fashion) and now is in line for a title shot in Montreal.  (12 min)  As the Savior was gloating in the ring, the Crocodile Hunter runs down.  The Savior sees him and bolts out of the ring and exits through the crowd.  Croc checks in on TW before taking off after the Savior.


With that, the show comes to an end.  Stay tuned for our next show.
