HCW Wrestling Newsletter 2017 #567 – Zero Hour PPV Day 1


Hello fans and welcome to HCW’s Zero Hour Pay Per View Live from Denver, Colorado.  We are here in front of a packed crowd and they are literally hanging from the rafters.  Today’s show will feature 3 title matches with some of the best performers in the business.    In pre-show news, one person has not shown up yet for the event and that is the Hardcore Champion the Stache.  He called Max early in the day saying that the reshoots he had to do in Hollywood ran longer than expected but he will be there tonight with a major announcement. 

The first match gets ready to get underway and pyro goes off kicking off our 3 day event.  The fans here are excited to see the action of the night.   Kicking things off, Prestige Inc. member Ravishing Raquel comes out accompanied by Master Bull to a pretty negative reaction from the crowd (yet a couple of days ago, the line of people waiting for her autograph was pretty damn long).  She gets into the ring and Master Bull tells the fans to ‘shut their Rocky Mountain Oyster holes’.  Next, El Gato Negro comes out and she gets a loud pop from the crowd.  She gets in the ring and Master Bull exits and the match begins. 

Raquel started off like a firecracker but then El Gato took control of the match.  El Gato controlled the pace for the first few minutes until a break was needed when Raquel left the ring to confer with Master Bull who pointed out El Gato’s weakness.  El Gato hit the Tailspin on Raquel but Raquel rolled her up in a ball and scored a three count (thanks to her foot on the ropes).  Ravishing Raquel steals a win in our first match of the night.  Raquel and Master Bull leave and Bull yells at the crowd “One down, two to go baby!”  (5 min)

The Super Shockmaster is backstage with Larry Morton and he tells the world that tonight Adam Jameson becomes ‘just another victim’ and will fall to the power and might of the Super Shockmaster.  After the destruction of Jameson, SS says he’ll set his sights once again on taking on gold.

We head back to the ring for our second match which is the Ladies Battle Royal.  It was then announced that the winner of the match would win a “Money in the Bank” contract for a future title shot.  All of the ladies on the roster will be in this except for the Duchess and her opponent Starr Vixen.  The ladies all came out one by one and the last two in the ring were the competitors from our last match El Gato and Ravishing Raquel.  El Gato got a bit of revenge against Raquel when she assisted in getting her eliminated but she went right after.  They all went one by one until Southern Belle and Taylor Bella were the last two ladies standing.  Just then, the new manager Figaroa ‘Figgy’ Newton comes out and makes his way to the ring.  He gives ‘thumbs up’ to the ladies.  He has his megaphone and starts yelling into it.  Belle and Taylor barely got started when Taylor hit a devastating dropkick on Belle that sent her flying over the top rope and right to the floor.  Taylor Bella wins the match and is handed the briefcase with the contract inside.  Figgy joins her in the ring and raises her arm in victory.  Well, I guess we know at least one person he’s managing.  Taylor will have two months to cash it in.  (30 min)

Backstage, Dr. Red Fang and his manager Ant Graham are being interviewed by Clarkus Kentus.  “Vampire Lunges for EVERYONE!” Fang exclaims.  Graham says that the Stache better be here on time for his match or he’ll demand he be stripped of the title and it awarded to Fang by default.  Clarkus assures us the Stache will be here tonight.

We head back to the ring for the next match.  Adam Jameson comes out first and gets a loud pop from the crowd.  Next, the Super Shockmaster comes out and says that he will destroy Jameson and send him home in a pine box.  The referee announces that the match will be ECW Rules and SS immediately attacks AJ with a kendo stick.  For 5 minutes, SS beat the tar out of Adam but then Adam turned the tables (literally) on SS and destroyed SS smashing him with steel chairs, ladders and whatever else he could find including a DVD player.  Adam took weeks of frustration out on SS but he never went for a pin only wanting to inflict as much damage as he could.  SS finally decided he’d had enough after securing a metal plate to the front of his helmet, he hit Adam multiple times with a power headbutt busting Adam back open.  He did it over and over until Adam’s face was a crimson mask.  SS then dropped Adam to the mat and then stood over him and put one foot on him.  The ref made the count and got to three.  Super Shockmaster gets the win in a very bloody (on Adam’s part) match.  SS laughs as he leaves the ring.  Medics had to come out and take Adam away on a stretcher.  (19 min)

In from outside comes the Hardcore Champion the Stache.  He meets up with GM Max McGillicutty.  Max asks why he’s not ready for his match and Stache replies that he didn’t get everything done he needed to for his reshoots and says he can’t afford to take on any damage this match may put him through and says that as much as he regrets what he has to do, he can no longer defend the Hardcore title. He drops the belt on the floor at Max’s feet and leaves.  Max, stunned, looks for a filler match and sees Biceps Bannerman, the Fiend and ScooterJ and orders them all to the ring now for an impromptu match.

One by one, Bannerman, the Fiend and ScooterJ all make their way to the ring.  It is announced that this will be a triple threat match.  The bell rings and Bannerman just starts to destroy everyone.  ScooterJ let Biceps take on the Fiend first.  Bannerman owned the first few minutes but then the Fiend took over.  His run was very short lived as ScooterJ came in and took out the Fiend and then continued the beatdown on Bannerman.  The Fiend recovered enough to get in and he and ScooterJ hit Biceps with a double dropkick.  The Fiend gets thrown out of the ring again.  Biceps goes for a spinebuster but ScooterJ reverses it and catches Biceps with a short arm clothesline.  He immediately rolled Biceps up and got the 1-2-3.  ScooterJ gets the win at the 17:40 mark.  Each person left the ring separately.

Backstage, Ant Graham and Dr. Red Fang get into Max’s face and say that since the Stache no-showed his match, the belt should automatically be awarded to the evil vampire by default.  Max said that there was no way he was just giving the title to anyone.  Max said that the tournament tomorrow will now be for the Hardcore title with the winner walking out the champ.  Fang began to complain and Graham interceded on his behalf saying that Fang should still get a shot at the belt.  Max says that if Dr. Red Fang doesn’t win the tournament, he will face off against the winner of the tournament and that person will be crowned the new champion.  Graham and Fang walk off in a huff.

Larry Morton is in the interview area with CJ.  CJ says that after all the crap that Reid’s been spouting, it’s time for him to teach him a lesson.  Tonight, CJ takes the Elitist title and says that if he wants to wipe his ass with it, he will.

Clarkus Kentus is backstage with Master Bull, Reid Rothchild and the other members of Prestige Inc.  Reid tells everyone that there is no way in hell that CJ is putting his nasty ass hands on HIS belt.  Master Bull promises Reid walks out with his title intact.

CJ’s music hits and he makes his way out to the ring to a pretty loud pop from the crowd.  Reid Rothchild comes out next accompanied by Prestige Inc., Master Bull and his wife Ravishing Raquel.  Raquel gives him a quick kiss for good luck.  Bull and Reid head down to the ring.  Reid gets in the ring and showboats with his title.  CJ motions that he will use that belt as toilet paper.  Reid goes right on the offensive but CJ was just that much faster.  It seemed that Reid just couldn’t catch up and so he motioned to Prestige Inc. and they hit the ring attacking CJ causing the DQ.  CJ gets the DQ win but that wasn’t much consolation as the numbers were just too great and Reid, TNT, Bishop and Chic Monroe beat down CJ until ‘suits’ from the back came out but by then, it was too late.  The damage had been done.  Reid had set up CJ’s ankle in a chair and then he jumped off the second turnbuckle onto the chair seemingly breaking CJ’s ankle.  Reid and Prestige Inc. w/ Master Bull celebrated while CJ was hauled off on a stretcher as there was no way he was walking after that.  (4 ½ min for the match; 5 min for the aftermath)

We cut backstage again where the Steel Curtain (Buzz and Starbuck Steel) are with Clarkus Kentus.  They tell Clarkus that things HAVE to change around here that begins with them taking the tag titles back.  Starbuck says that their suspension was totally uncalled for and that they will whatever it takes to get their belts back.  Buzz says that their time is NOW and history will remember them; not little Petey.

Larry Morton is backstage with the Ambassador and the World Tag Team Champs Pete the PUN-isher and ‘the King of Cones’ Magnum Kone.  Pete tries to drop some bad puns but Magnum stops him and says that all the people need to know is that he has no plans on getting his shoulders pinned to the mat.  Pete glares at him for interrupting him and the segment ends much to Pete’s chagrin. 

It’s time for our Main Event.  First, the Steel Curtain come out and they get one of the loudest pops of the night.   Their music is cut off as Pete storms out followed by the Ambassador and Magnum Kone.  Pete yells at the Curtain from the outside but as the Curtain make a move against him, Pete backs off.  Finally the match gets underway.  Right off the bat, the Steel Curtain beat down Pete injuring him but hurled him into Magnum who fell off the ring and landed hard on the steps.  Buzz nails Pete with the Buzzcut and tags Starbuck in who hits the 4 TB’s.  Starbuck follows it up with the Starplex (slingshot suplex).  Magnum tries to make it back up but Pete is hurled into their corner and he collides with Magnum who falls off the ring again injured.  For the next few minutes, Buzz and Starbuck tag in and out keeping Pete on the defensive.  The Ambassador got frustrated and smashed his cane against Buzz’s head.  Pete went for the pin but Buzz kicked out at the last moment. Starbuck gets in and eats the PUN-ctuation from Pete but hits him with the 4 TB’s and then rolls him up in a small package (hooking the tights).  He goes for the pin but Pete kicks out at two.  Finally, after 11 minutes, Magnum finally recovered and tagged himself in.  He hits Buzz with the drumstick but eats a flying knee smash.  A groggy Pete struggles to stand and Magnum tags him back in.  Pete is flabbergasted.   Buzz set him up and nails the Buzzkill.  Magnum looks on and then turns and leaves.  Buzz makes the cover and the count goes 1…2…3.  The Steel Curtain get the win and are the NEW WORLD TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS!  (13 min)  The Ambassador grabs Pete and they leave as the Curtain celebrates in the ring before leaving. 


With that, Day one has come to an end.  Stick around…Day 2 is up next.
