HCW Wrestling Newsletter 2017 #564

Hello fans and welcome back to our newsletter.  Things are shaping up really well for our PPV and we know that you, the fans, will totally enjoy the show.

Before the show can kick off, Master Bull, the Elitist Reid Rothchild, Ravishing Raquel, Bishop Ripley and Superstar Chic Monroe all make their way out to the ring.  Master Bull takes the mic and announces that tonight, they will add the final member of Prestige Inc and they will once again dominate the sport.  Bull’s little spiel gets cut short when Turnip makes his way out and the fans pop huge.  Prestige Inc. look on and really look perturbed at the interruption. Turnip walks over and forcibly takes the mic from Bull glaring at him.  Turnip speaks.  “Before my transformation, I had a match against this man – Reid Rothchild – for the Elitist title and he showed me I wasn’t in his league.  I left and after months of hard work, I am now the specimen you see before you.  However, knowing that my old family will always be gunning for me, I made the decision to take Master Bull’s offer and JOIN Prestige Inc.”  The fans do not like that announcement and start to boo him.  Turnip hands the mic back to Bull.  “For all you morons who don’t get it, Turnip is gone.  Feast your eyes on Templeton Nathaniel Townsend or TNT as he will be known as moving forward.  Turnip is Dead…long live TNT!”  TNT poses with Reid and Bull much to the chagrin of the fans. 

They are then interrupted by the Huber’s who came out to issue a challenge to Prestige Inc.  TNT looks to Master Bull who nods and says that they win, they get the shot against the Snake Pit for the trophy.  The Huber’s accept.  A ref makes his way out and that match begins now.

Ferb, Junior and Butch get in the ring and call Prestige Inc. to join them.  Reid goes to sit at commentary with his wife Ravishing Raquel.  Prestige Inc. gets in the ring.  The Hubers beat down on Chic and Bishop but it wasn’t until TNT got in the ring that things changed.  The team then became one and with Master Bull’s help, began to destroy the Huber’s.  Finally, we got a showdown again between Junior and TNT and both men slugged it out and ended up on the outside of the ring again.  TNT ran Junior into the post and then picked him up asking Reid and Raquel to move.  He then POWERBOMBED Junior through the announcer’s table.  He rolled back in beating the 10 count.  Prestige Inc are victorious in their first outing as a team and now get to go on to meet the Snake Pit for the 6 Man Trophy.  Bull led the team away without any further incident.  (16 ½ min)

Larry Morton is backstage with TV Champion ‘Red Hot’ Lucas Johnston and asks if he’s ready to take on his partner Phat Sol.  Lucas says that he is prepared and he knows Phat better than anyone.  He will be ready.

We’re ready for our next match and as Adam Jameson makes his way out, he gets a small pop.  CJ comes out next and receives a much stronger pop from the fans.  CJ owned the match but looked to be in jeopardy after Adam connected with a gut buster but somehow CJ was able to immediately lock in a guillotine choke and Adam had no choice but to tap out.  CJ gets the win but it is short lived as Reid Rothchild ran in from the crowd attacking CJ while the Super Shockmaster ran (as best he could) down and attacked AJ.  Super Shockmaster headbutted AJ till he was bleeding and Reid dropped CJ with a Rothchild Stunner.  Both men stood over their PPV opponents keeping an eye on each other.  Both men eventually left.  (4 min for the match; 5 additional for the post-match segment.)

Back in GM Max McGillicutty’s office, King Wilber sits on one side of a table and Sonic Blade sits on the other.  Max presents them with the contract.  Sonic signs it first and Wilber takes it but before he signed it, he had this to say:  “He's got the whole world in his hands. You know, people don't usually believe in things that they cannot see, in things they cannot touch. It is human nature, after all.  I mean, how can you possibly miss this billboard and infomercials being shoved down your throat every day? We see you. But what I was wondering was have you ever taken the time, Sonic, to see me for what I really am. I am the way into the City of Woe. I am the way into eternal pain. I am the way to go among the laws beyond time, I stand. I wanted to ask you, Sonic. What could you possibly do to harm somebody that just can't feel?   Run.”  He signs the contract and then laughs maniacally. 

Match #3 is ready to begin.  First, Ravishing Ruby Princess comes out and she gets a decent pop.  Taylor Bella comes out next and her reaction is mixed.  Taylor goes right on the offensive connecting with a face plant.  Ruby reaches up and locks in the Ravishing Rubywing and she gets Taylor to tap out almost immediately.  Ruby gets the super quick win in just 1 minute.  Taylor’s (some time) tag team partner Madame Jade comes out and attacks Ruby dropping her with a vicious forearm smash.  She turns to Taylor and blasts her too.  Jade kicks both women out of the ring and stands victorious.  Ruby and Taylor each grab a mic and say they want Jade in a match at the PPV.  Max comes out and says, time permitting, he will put the three of them in a triple threat match.  If they can’t work it in to the PPV, it will be the main event for the following show.

Dr. Red Fang is backstage with his manager Ant Graham and says that the attack by the Stache was unprofessional and totally uncalled for (but his attacks aren’t?).  He demands that the Stache defend the title in a ‘falls count anywhere’ match and finishes off with “VAMPIRE LUNGES FOR EVERYONE!”

Match #4:  Biceps Bannerman vs the Fiend.  Bannerman comes out first and he is (understandably) pissed that he lost his match at the PPV and wanted to take his frustrations out on someone.  The Fiend came out saying he’d step up to the challenge but Bannerman warned him he is in a foul mood.  The Fiend said that when he wins, Bannerman will be worse off.   Bannerman continued to struggle in the match with the Fiend taking him to town.  After a few minutes of not doing much in the way of any offense, he slid out of the ring and the Fiend followed him.  Mistake.  Bannerman charged hitting the Fiend with a tackle that sent him crashing into the ringside barrier.  Bannerman continued to stomp on him until he rolled back in the ring at the last minute beating the 10 count.  Biceps gets the win via countout but the fans boo him anyway.  He turns and leaves.  (7 ½ min)

The Smashers (1 & 2) are backstage and they say that MJ dropping them was the worst thing he could do.  They promised to destroy Ice Dagger and Mason the Mangler at the PPV and once they’re done with them, they will turn their attention to MJ.

Match #5 is ready to get underway with tag team action.  The Desperados vs Ice Dagger & Mason the Mangler.  Ice Dagger, Mason and MJ all make their way to the ring first and they are booed.  Next, the Desperados (El Chango & Leon Teremoto) come out and by default, they get a pop but they are not on the fan’s list of favorites for sure.  El Chango and Leon did extremely well nullifying MJ’s interference and with a couple of minutes of double teaming, had control of the match.  The end came after El Chango hit the ropes, jumped up to the top turnbuckle and then nailed a shooting star press (HOLY SHIT chants rang out) right onto Ice Dagger.  He scored the 3 count pretty easily and the Desperados rack up another win.  (6 min)  Just as they were leaving, the Smashers ran in from the crowd and attack Ice Dagger and Mason beating them down.  They then chased MJ all the way to the back.

Walking backstage, Southern Belle is attacked by the twins Felicia and Betsy Cummings.  The attack doesn’t go on for long as Scarlett Phoenix, who was nearby, saw the attack and came to Belle’s aid.  Belle, then challenged the twins to a match at the PPV.  Felicia mocked her saying she didn’t have a tag team partner but Scarlett spoke up and said she’s be in Belle’s corner.  The twins then backed away.

It’s time for our main event.  This is the final match of our best of 5 between Texas Wildfire and the World Champion Drew the Canadian Love Machine.  Texas Wildfire comes out to a huge pop and when Drew came out, it was about equal.  The two shook hands in the ring and then gave it their all.  Drew was the slightly more aggressive of the two but TW gave as good as he could get.  TW thought he had it locked up after connecting with a leaping DDT but somehow Drew kicked out at the very last moment.  TW was shocked.  TW went for the hangman’s clotheline but Drew reversed it and hit a corkscrew pescado.  Drew hooked the leg and got the 1-2-3.  Drew the Canadian Love Machine wins the best of 5.  (12 min)  Texas Wildfire was disappointed.  Drew takes a mic and says that TW has been one of if not the toughest competitor he’s faced and says that regardless of how this match turned out, he was still going to defend the World title against TW at the PPV.  The fans pop huge as the two men shake hands and the show comes to an end.

There is only one more show before the PPV and then we’ll host the Fan Fest and Hall of Fame ceremony and then we’re on to the PPV.  Hang tight…we’re almost there.
