Hello
fans and welcome back to our newsletter.
We have finally entered the final week leading up to our PPV Zero Hour
emanating from Denver, Colorado.
Preceding that will be our fanfest and hall of fame addition.
Kicking
off the event, the Six Man Trophy holders the Snake Pit accept the challenge
from Prestige Inc. for a match at the PPV and the trophy will be on the
line. Prestige Inc. was dominant in
their first match. Can they pull it off again?
Our
first match of the night starts with Hangman #3 coming out to booing from the
crowd. His opponent Outback Oscar comes
out next to a huge pop from the crowd.
Oscar was taken off his game after being on the receiving end of a
(illegally) loaded (in his mask) headbutt.
Hangman #3 then took the rest of the right to Oscar and after connecting
with an elbow bash, #3 then rolled Oscar up and got the 1-2-3. Hangman #3 gets win and parades while the
fans boo him. (13 min)
There
is a commotion backstage and it seems that the World Tag Team Champions Pete
the PUN-isher and Magnum Kone (well, mostly Pete) have come to blows with their
opponents Buzz and Starbuck Steel – the Steel Curtain. GM Max McGillicutty and others had to run in
and break it up. It was determined that
Pete was the one who instigated it and was told to leave the building. Max almost made the decision to NOT let Pete
show up at the fanfest as a PUN-ishment to his behavior but changed his mind thinking
that it would be PUN-ishment enough if
fans didn’t want his autograph and he’d sit there all by his lonesome.
The
Steel Curtain went down to the ring and said that this attack has gotten them
all riled up and they wanted a fight tonight.
The Ryzing Storm (Travis and Terra) came out to accept the
challenge. Terra stated that if they
beat the Curtain tonight, they were taking their PPV title shot. Early and constant double teaming from the
Ryzing Storm kept the Curtain on the defensive and things didn’t exactly get
better when Pete the PUN-isher came out.
However, Pete’s potential interference was curbed when the Curtain’s
friend and ally Biceps Bannerman came out practically scaring the crap out of
Pete. Pete took off and that allowed the
Curtain to get back to business and then easily defeated the Storm after
Starbuck hit Travis with the ‘Around the World’ (bounced his head off of each
turnbuckle) and got the pin. The Curtain
retain their spot and are ready for the Tag Champs. (14 min)
Back
in Max’s office, the Super Shockmaster is there and says he’ll sign the
contract and agree to the match against Adam Jameson at the PPV but only if the
stipulation of “ECW Rules” is added. Max
says that AJ agreed to that (open to any stipulation to get the match) and SS
signs the contract and says that AJ’s time in HCW is at an end. He laughs behind his Stormtrooper mask.
The
next match on the card is a former Queen taking on her former Court
teammate. Ms Beckett heads to the ring
first and is eventually followed out by Lady Hermann. Beckett held her own and thwarted many
attempts by her ladyship to throw her out of the ring. Finally, Beckett hurled Hermann out of the
ring, followed her out and dropped her with the Knight Rider. Beckett rolls back in beating the 10 count
and wins this one my countout decision.
Ladies Champion the Duchess comes out and stares at her but then
leaves. (7 ½ min)
The
Savior is backstage and says he’s heard that Wendell Hammerschmidt is in line
for a title HE used to own and how he was never given a rematch. He says he wants Wendell in the ring tonight
and once he wins, he will take that title shot too. Savior is reminded that he has a match
against Crocodile Hunter and Savior says he’s open to wrestling twice on the
show to show how good he is.
The
next match kicks off with Madame Jade making her way down to the ring. She is followed out by Starr Vixen who gets a
huge pop from the crowd. For 11 minutes,
Jade dominated the match but after attempting a flying dropkick from the top
rope and missing, the tide turned in favor of Starr Vixen. Vixen then dominated the match and kept Jade
on the defensive for most of the match.
The clock then starts to wind down and we’re running out of time. Jade would not stay down for a three
count. Jade attempted a Jade Breaker but
Starr hit her with an elbow to the throat.
Just as that was going on, Taylor Bella ran down and hid from view. When Starr made the cover, Jade’s foot was
close enough to the ropes but Taylor reached in and held it down preventing
Jade from kicking out. Starr Vixen wins
the match with seconds to spare. Taylor
then slides in the ring and attacks Jade.
Ravishing Ruby Princess runs down and joins in the melee. These three are not on the card but the match
may be added to the Fanfest. We’ll have
to wait and see.
The US
champion ‘The Ragin Cajun’ Rad Gumbo is backstage and says he’ll be at ringside
to scout the match between Wendell and the Savior.
We go
back to the ring for 6 man tag team action.
The 5th Column (Baron von Blood, Oswald Zimmerman and Karl
Braun) all make their way to the ring first to booing from the fans. Next, the Muscles Trio comes out and they’re
acting all goofy wearing their rainbow colored bull horns and handing out mini
boxes of cereal with their likenesses on them to the fans in hopes of winning
them over. Both teams held the advantage
over the other back and forth during the match but it wasn’t till the end that
the Muscles Trio began to shine. After
taking out both the Baron and Oswald, Muscles Thorpe hit Karl Braun with the
Muscles Crush and got the 3 count. The Muscles
Trio get the win but they still haven’t won the fans over. They end up leaving to a mixed reaction. (27 min)
Backstage,
the Axe is pacing and complains to anyone walking by that he’s not being given
a chance to wrestle. Crocodile Hunter
walks by and says he’ll take him up on that.
I guess the Axe wasn’t exactly expecting someone to take him up on the
challenge.
The
Savior makes his way out first to booing from the fans. Next, Wendell Hammerschimidt comes out to a
mixed reaction from the crowd. Max comes
out and says that Wendell has already signed the contract so he tells the Savior
that if he wants this match, he has to get a win in 10 minutes or less. If he does not, Wendell keeps the match at the
PPV. The match was nothing short of an
ass-kicking…by the Savior. He totally
owned Wendell but nothing he could do would keep him down for the 3 count. Just as the time limit was going to run out,
the Savior hits Wendell with a brain buster hoping that would do the trick but
just then, the Crocodile Hunter appeared on stage and that distracted the
Savior for one second too long and the time limit expired. Wendell
Hammerschimidt retains the spot. The
Savior takes off to go after Croc. Rad
gets in the ring and shakes hands with Wendell before hitting him with a low
blow and then locking in the Onion twist.
Wendell screams and is tapping out but Rad won’t let go. Finally he does and stares at his PPV
opponent before walking away in disgust.
(10 min for the match; 5 min for the aftermath)
Backstage,
the Savior can’t find Croc so he storms out of the building, gets into his car
and leaves.
It’s
time for the main event. The Axe comes
out first and is booed pretty heavily.
Crocodile Hunter comes out next and gets the loudest pop of the night. The fight never takes place in the ring as
the Axe drags Croc from the ring and fights all the way to the back. Uh, Oh, I think it’s a set up. Yep, the Savior is there waiting and he jumps
in and beats down on Croc. Once
sufficiently subdued, Savior hands a wad of cash to the Axe who then
leaves. As the Savior turns around, he
notices Croc is gone. He looks around
frantically and then screams in frustration as the show comes to an end.
The
Fanfest / Hall of Fame ceremony is next and then this weekend, it’s PPV time!
