Hello
fans and welcome back to our newsletter.
We are back in HOT Phoenix (where did Spring go? Oh yeah, that was in January). The show kicks off in GM Max McGillicutty’s
office and he’s with former US Champion Texas Wildfire. Max tells TW that he feels bad about putting
him on the spot like that asking him to wrestle twice and then losing the
title. He wants to make it up to him and
says he is granting TW his immediate rematch tonight against the Ragin Cajun
Rad Gumbo. TW thanks him and leaves.
The
first match kicks off Kimberly Kiccass vs Scarlett Phoenix. The former world champion comes out and makes
her way down to the ring. Scarlett
Phoenix comes out next to a huge pop from the crowd. Kimberly jawjacks saying she wants her title
back and will use Phoenix as a stepping stone.
She goes right on the offensive but Scarlett is there matching move for
move. After about 15 minutes, the former
champ kicked it into high gear. Scarlett
struggled to match her move for move but still held in there. Both women noticed the clock was running down
and Scarlett tried for the Black Widow but Kimberly reversed it hitting a
Toronto slam. She was close to the ropes
so as she made the cover, she hooked both legs and put her feet on the rope for
leverage and it got her the 1-2-3 with only seconds to spare. Kimberly laughs and has her arm raised. She looks once more at Scarlett before leaving. (19:56)
We go
back to Max’s office and the Savior is in there complaining that he was made to
sign a contract under duress and that it’s not legal or binding and complains
about getting screwed over in HCW’s version of the Montreal Screw Job. Max says he’s had enough of the Savior trying
to get out of this match. He has to deal
with the fact that it will happen. The Crocodile
Hunter comes in and tells Max that he’s willing to wait AND HE will not lay a
finger on the Savior as long as the match happens at the Zero Hour PPV. Max says the match is officially on the
books and the same goes to the Savior for not touching Croc. Croc turns to the Savior and tells him that
they will have a special stipulation and their match will be an I Quit
match. Croc laughs and leaves as the
Savior complains but no one will listen to him.
We go
down to the ring for our next match. Super
Shockmaster vs The Fiend. The Fiend
comes out first to a huge pop and he is followed out by the Super
Shockmaster. Adam Jameson makes his way
out and he just wants to go after SS. SS
sees him, laughs, and ignores him. The
Fiend steps up his game only to be thrown out of the ring. He is back in quickly but SS is still
jawjacking with the ref. SS whips the
Fiend into the ref and he goes down. He
turns to AJ inviting him to attack but grabs a chair and threatens to use
it. AJ and the Fiend doubleteam SS
getting the chair away. The Fiend then
hits the Last Caress (DDT) on the chair that SS dropped. The ref begins to recover and AJ takes the
chair and leaves. The Fiend makes the
cover and gets the 1-2-3. The Fiend gets
the win and then leaves almost immediately. AJ slides back in with the chair
and attacks SS and the two brawl and have to be separated. SS laughs at AJ. AJ, even with a little bit of revenge, still
is fuming. (6 min for the match, 4 additional
for the segment)
King
Wilber makes an appearance via taped video.
He says he sees turmoil in the top 10 of the World title and feels he
will thrive in it. Says he has his
sights set on the title and it doesn’t matter who’s the champ, they will fall
to him. “ALL HAIL THE KING”
Our 3rd
match is ready to begin as Angry Jack Lawson and Handsome Hernandez make their
separate entrances to the ring. Jack
hasn’t been very ‘angry’ as of late and that ‘fire’ missing in him allowed
Hernandez to make short work of Lawson.
Jack ends up getting counted out just past the 5 minute mark giving the
win to Hernandez. (5 ½ min)
El
Gato Negro appears and says that once again, the Duchess is costing her her
livelihood. She doesn’t know when to let
well enough alone. She says that she’ll have
to remind the Duchess that it’s never good luck to mess with a black cat.
Our
next match is a spot qualifier. Phat Sol
challenges Tobias Snake for his spot for the hardcore title. This one was a bit surprising as Phat is appearing
to do much better without the weight of the Ambassador hanging around his
neck. He and Tobias almost go the
distance but after locking in an abdominal stretch, Phat turned it into a pin
attempt and got the 3 count. Phat Sol is
now in the top 10 for the hardcore title and Tobias is out. (18 min)
Tag
team champs Pete and Magnum w/ the Ambassador cut a promo saying that the whole
Mexicali Flyer situation will play itself out as even they could see that there
was something up with that team. Pete
says you’d have to be blind to not see it.
Magnum tells Pete they need to worry about the Snake Pit and Pete tells
him they have this one in the bag.
Magnum tells him not to stick his hand in that bag or he may get bit.
It’s
time for the rematch for the US title.
The former champion Texas Wildfire comes out first to a huge pop. Next, manager MJ comes out and introduces the
NEW US Champion (while “Gumbo 7:30 says it’s suppa time bitch” blares through
the speakers) and the Ragin Cajun Rad Gumbo comes out and he is booed. He smirks and makes his way down to the ring. GM Max McGillicutty comes out and says to
avoid this one losing on a technicality, he makes this a no-DQ match. MJ took plenty of opportunity to assist the
champ and it paid off until TW decided he’d had enough and dropped the manager
with rapid-fire punches. He turned
around only to get caught in the cottonmouth clutch. Rad turned it into a pin attempt and with his
foot on the ropes and a handful of tights, he gets the 1-2-3. Rad Gumbo retains his title. He yanks the belt from the ref and then joins
MJ as they celebrate while heading to the back.
(13 min)
It
seems that both CJ and ‘The Elitist’ Reid Rothchild are in the building. CJ goes to the ring and calls out Reid. Reid comes out laughing. CJ comments that there are people here in
Phoenix (cheap pop) that haven’t seen the video. Reid obliges and shows the video. CJ reminds him that two can play that game
and introduces two of Phoenix’s finest.
He asks them to arrest Reid for destruction of private property. Reid yells as he’s handcuffed. CJ laughs.
Master Bull runs out and says he’ll get this taken care of as Reid is
taken away. CJ celebrates with the fans
and then leaves.
Max
calls TW into his office and says he was impressed with his and Drew’s match at
the tribute show so he wants to see TW fight Drew in a best of 5 series. If TW wins the best of 5, he gets a title
shot at the PPV. TW agrees but Max has
one more stipulation…TW must defeat someone in the top 10 to earn this
spot. Max picks a name out of a
hat…Jerry Saunders.
Its’
time for our main event. Representing
the Snake Pit (using the Freebird Rule), Leiton and Niven Snake come out. Once in the ring, the Ambassador comes out
and introduces the Tag Team Champions Pete the PUN-isher and ‘the King of
Cones’ Magnum Kone. The champs held the
Pit to no offense for the first few minutes with lots of double teaming. However, as the match progressed, the Pit got
better and the tension between the champs kept growing. It finally got to a point where the
Ambassador had to pull them both out of the ring and yell at them which almost
cost them the match as Magnum slid back in just before they got counted out. The Ambassador saw that this one was not
going to end well so he smacked Niven Snake with his lead cane. Magnum made the quick cover and got the
1-2-3. Magnum Kone and Pete the
PUN-isher retain their belts. They
continued to bicker in the ring as the show came to an end.
Thanks
for reading. Be sure to come back now,
ya hear!
