HCW Wrestling Newsletter 2017 #569 – PPV Zero Hour Day 3

Hello fans and welcome back to day 3 – the final day of our PPV Zero Hour coming to you from beautiful Denver, Colorado.  The show begins with a pyro show that rivals some of the ‘other’ companies out there and it just takes everyone’s breath away.  GM Max McGillicutty comes out and once again thanks the fans here and watching all over the globe for joining us tonight.  Max says tonight they will crown a new Hardcore Champion when Dr. Red Fang takes on Terra Ryzing and possibly can see the end of some feuds with those angles running their course.  Over the last two days, we’ve seen both the Tag Team and World Title changes hands.  Does that trend continue tonight?  Only one way to find out and the show kicks off.

The first match on the card is tag team action.  The former Queen Ms. Beckett and her tag team partner Jazz Emmett come out first to a mixed reaction from the crowd.  Once they got settled in, the Court (Lady Hermann and the British Crippler) along with Ladies Champion the Duchess comes out and the fans boo them.  They ignore the fans and make their way to the ring.  If Beckett loses this match, she is out of a job however if she wins, she will regain her crown.  Lady Hermann started off against her former teammate and looked strong – a force of Nature.  She immediately tagged the British Crippler in and things went south.  Crippler struggled against the Queen and she made the tag right back out to Lady Hermann.   Beckett never tagged Jazz in thinking she may be on the payroll of the Duchess (she was actually right in hindsight so it’s a good thing she never did).  Her Ladyship took back control of the match and hit Beckett with a sitout wheelbarrow facebuster.  She made the cover and got the 1-2-3.  The Court is victorious and now Beckett is out of a job.  The Duchess makes her way back down.  The Duchess says she has one last piece of information and targets the British Crippler.   She said that Crippler looked weak in this match and does no favors for the court so she too is FIRED!   Lady Hermann and the Duchess leave together as the British Crippler leaves on her own…deflated.  (8 min for the match; 12 for the segment)

We cut to the back and Larry Morton is with the Axe.  Axe says he’s waited long enough and finally he gets the match he wants against Talon McFrost.  Larry asks him if he know what type of rules the match will be and Axe says “Like I’m going to tell you that now.  You, like everyone else, get to wait.”

King Wilber Townsend is backstage with Clarkus Kentus and he begins his rant about Sonic Blade:  “I remember the first time that I was ever struck with truth. The taste was bitter and it was so intense. But I liked it. It was something real. Free will has become man's biggest illusion. They promise it to you just in time to take it away again. And what have they left us with? What have we become? Just a nation full of mindless sheep, led by wolves and owned by pigs. But I was thinking, tonight, man, tonight would be what a wonderful night for change.  I was thinking tonight they have left the power in your hands. Those fools. Tonight, free will does exist. Tonight, you make a choice. And what fate will you choose for your knight in shining armor? Will you choose the path of less pain for your hero? Or will tonight be the night that Sonic Blade finally learns the truth? And the truth is we stand against you. Whether it be this brother or that brother, whether it be in a steel cage or inside your own mind, Sonic, we stand against you.”  King Wilber walks off and Clarkus is just confused.

We head back to the ring for our next match.  First, Talon McFrost comes out to a huge pop from the crowd.  Next, the Axe comes out and the fans and the reaction goes sour and he is booed all the way to the ring.  He gets in the ring and is asked what rules he wants for tonight’s match.  He chooses Lights Out.  Talon goes right on the offensive but Axe fights back with equal fervor.  Early on, Axe pulled out a roll of quarters and busted Talon open with them.  It looks like Talon is out so the ref begins to count but Talon somehow makes it to his feet at the 4 count.  Axe gets tossed over the top rope but he’s back in by 5.  Uppercuts and suplexes are thrown and executed and the two just continue to battle.  Axe nails Talon with the Axe but he opts not to go for a pin.  Axe drops Talon with a shoulder tackle but Talon comes back with the Cold Stone but he doesn’t have it in him to try for a pin.  Axe hits a back bodydrop and follows it with a belly to belly suplex from the top turnbuckle.  Both men crash on the mat but Axe manages to get an arm draped over Talon.  The ref counts 1…2…3.  The Axe gets the win and stands victorious.  He contemplates putting a further beat down on Talon but just leaves instead.  Talon is helped from the ring.  (13 min)

Sonic Blade is backstage with Clarkus Kentus and tells him that King Wilber is all messed up in the head.  Maybe it will take him dropping Wilber on his head to sort things right.   Regardless, tonight he gets a win and will be the first to issue a challenge to World Champion Texas Wildfire.

Also backstage is Phat Sol and he is with Larry Morton.  Phat says that tonight, he will dedicate the match to his newborn daughter and once he wins the title, he will show his daughter that he is a true champion.

Match #3 is ready to kick off and Sonic Blade makes his way down to the ring first.  He gets a loud pop from the crowd.  Next, King Wilber Townsend comes out and he just looks plain silly with the crown on his head (for wrestling fans, think Bray Wyatt with a crown – just silly).   Wilber gets in the ring and right into Sonic’s face.  Tensions mount waiting for the bell to ring and once it does, these two begin slugging it out.  About 5 min in, Wilber takes Sonic outside the ring and introduces him hard to the steel steps.   Sonic starts to favor his leg and Wilber capitalized on it.  He kept going after the knee and leg of Sonic who was practically out of the match as he couldn’t put much pressure on his leg.  Sonic did manage to connect with the Alhambra Attack but he could not make a pin attempt.  Wilber took Sonic off his feet again and then set him up for and connected with the Go To Sleep.  Wilber makes the cover and gets the easy 1.2.3.  King Wilber stands over Sonic Blade laughing and then finally leaves.  (13 min)

Larry Morton calls in the TV champion ‘Red Hot’ Lucas Johnston and he tells Larry and the fans that he’s been on fire ever since winning the TV title.  Larry asks if he has any qualms about defending the title against his tag team partner Phat Sol.  Lucas says that this match is only ‘business’ and hopes Phat doesn’t take it too personally when he loses.

Clarkus calls in the Crocodile Hunter for his interview.  Croc says he’s waited longer and more patiently than any other person on the roster.  When he agreed to early on to fight the Savior but had to wait this long to do it, he wasn’t sure he could wait that long but the show is here now and he’ll show the fans that the wait is over and it’s time to dish out an ass-whopping.

Match #4 is ready to go.  Phat Sol makes his way out first and gets a decent pop from the crowd.  His tag team partner the TV Champion ‘Red Hot’ Lucas Johnston comes out next and the fans love him.  Lucas poses with the belt for the fans and then makes his way to the center of the ring. He and Phat shake hands and once Lucas handed the title over, the match got underway but not before Max came out and said to make sure no one walks on a technicality, this match will be no DQ.  It didn’t take too long for tempers to flare at Phat struggled to keep up with Lucas and would throw in a cheap shot or two.  After getting dumped over the top rope, Lucas was about at the end of his rope.  He got back in the ring and connected with a DDT and then followed it up with forearm blasts.  Lucas made the cover and got the 3 count.  Lucas Johnston defeats Phat Sol to retain the TV title.  Lucas takes a couple of deep breaths and then extends his hand to Phat who shakes it and they leave together.  (14 min)

The Savior walks over when Clarkus invites him in.  The Savior states that he’s done everything in his power to try to save Croc but some people just aren’t worth saving so tonight, he gives Croc the fight of his life and once Croc taps out, the Savior will put him behind him and move on.

Larry Morton has Dr. Red Fang and Ant Graham with him.  Larry asks Fang if he could ask a question and Fang responds with “You have a question, ask that fool Terra Ryzing”.  Fang looks at Ant and says “I’ll bet Terra is back there punching keys on a stupid keyboard.  I’d love to punch him in the face.”  Graham tells him he will get that oppoturnity momentarily but first, Graham wants to make an announcement and says that the people are looking at the next Hardcore Champion.  Fang smiles that evil smile of his and screams “VAMPIRE LUNGES FOR EVERYONE!”

It’s time for Match #5 to get underway and this one will be an ‘I Quit’ rules match meaning the only way this one ends is for the other to give up.  The Savior makes his way out first and the fans boo him.   He doesn’t care though.   Next, Crocodile Hunter makes his way out and the fans pop huge for him.  He motions that he’s going to break Savior who just stands there and laughs.  Max comes out and says this one is a long time in the making so he’s giving them no time limit to put this one to rest once and for all.  The ref explains the ‘I Quit’ rules for the participants and the fans and this one is underway.  Croc started off strong but eventually the Savior took over and controlled the match.  In what surprised most people, they almost never went for a submission; it was all to beat down and wear the other person out.  Towards the end, Savior tried to choke out Croc using the time keepers bell but Croc turned it into an ankle lock.  Croc then dropped a flying knee to the back of the Savior.  Croc then locked in a spine bending Gator Crab right in the middle of the ring and try as he could, the Savior just couldn’t reach the ropes.  Showing intestinal fortitude, he tried to power out but Croc had it cinched in too well.  Finally, Croc tapped out as he couldn’t take the pain anymore.  The Crocodile Hunter wins this one much to the delight of the fans.  Croc looks at the Savior one final time and then leaves.  The Savior had to be helped from the ring.  (32 min)

Terra Ryzing is backstage and says he need no mouthpiece to speak for him.  He calls himself the ‘game’ and will show Fang how the game is really played.

Clarkus is backstage with Starr Vixen and she says that this is a moment she’s waited a lifetime for…main eventing a PPV against the Ladies Champion.  She’s honored she gets to be in this match and promises win, lose or draw, she will give it her all.

Match #6 is ready to begin.  Dr. Red Fang accompanied by Ant Graham, comes out first and is booed pretty heavily.  He snarls at the fans as he walks by. Next, Terra Ryzing comes out and the fans aren’t all that thrilled with him either.  It’s announced that this match will be a Thumbtack death match rules.  Terra looks on like ‘what the hell is that?’ and Fang smiles.

Fang went to town and practically destroyed Ryzing.  After about 8 minutes, all he did was toy with the man who’s supposed to sew “Terra” into his opponents.  Fang was more brutal in this outing than he’s been in the past.  At the 11 min mark, Ant threw his walking stick to Fang who blasted Terra with it and easily picked up the win.  Fang then got a bag of thumbtacks, spilled them on the mat and then bodyslammed Ryzing right on them.  He then nails another Transylvania piledriver and Ryzing is done.  Fang and Graham stand victorious with Fang holding his title high over his head.  The evil vampire and his manager then leave.


We’re about ready to head to our final match when Larry Morton brings in the Ladies Champion the Duchess.   Duchess says that the Queen is dead and gone.  The British Crippler let her down and now she’s gone too.   The Duchess looks down at the crown in her hands and she says she is ready for her match with Starr Vixen. The way Starr Vixen got to this level and then challenging the Duchess might make some people feel nervous but for the Duchess, it only adds to her excitement!  “Starr! Be prepared to sit at my feet and wipe the Crown and Title belt with your tears!”

It’s time for our MAIN EVENT!  Pyro goes off setting the stage for the final match of the evening.  Starr Vixen comes out first to a nice pop from the crowd.  She’s fought hard to get to this point and she’s ready.  Music changes and out comes The Duchess.  The Ladies Champion makes her way down to the ring and she and Starr lock eyes. This stare tells a different story of mutual respect and determination to win. The fans seem to be mixed on how to accept her.  She makes their minds up for them after getting on the mic and telling all the mindless sheep to sit down and shut it.  (How rude!)  Starr offers her hand but the Duchess ignores her.  The Duchess controlled the first few minutes of the match but after that, Starr began to kick it into higher gear.  The Ladies Champion tried to match her move for move but it began taking its toll on her.  Starr kept the pressure on and about 6 minutes in, the Duchess started to see things slipping away so she called on Lady Hermann to come down but she is stopped by Max and sent to the back.  In the meantime, Starr nailed the Duchess with a flying fivearm and went for the pin but the champ kicked out.  The longer the match went on, the more determined Starr became.  Starr began to choke the Duchess on the ropes, eye rake her and nail a vicious clothesline.  Just then, the former Queen Ms. Beckett ran in from the crowd and blew a powdery substance into her eyes blinding her.  Beckett took off through the crowd again before she could be seen.  Starr ran over and blasted the Duchess once again with the flying fivearm and made the cover.  The ref counted 1…2…3.  Starr Vixen has just defeated the Duchess to become the NEW LADIES CHAMPION!  (21 min)  The Duchess looks on in horror and screams “Noooooooooooooo” as the ref hands Starr the title.  The Duchess tried to complain but a couple of ‘suits’ from the back came out and escorted her from the ring.  Starr celebrated in the ring as balloons fell from the ceiling.  She made her way around the ring high-fiving the fans and then made her way up the ramp with her title held high.  With that, the show comes to an end.

Thanks for sticking with us over the last few days.  Things should start to settle down and we’ll get back into the swing of things once we return back to Phoenix.
