HCW Wrestling Newsletter 2017 #577


Hello fans and welcome back to our newsletter.  Well, we seem to have a stacked card for you today.  A few champions will grace us with their presence but no titles will be on the line.  Pyro goes off and it looks like our first match is ready to get underway.

Talon McFrost comes out first to a mixed reaction from the crowd.  Once in the ring, the Misfits’ music plays and out comes the Fiend to a pop from the crowd.   He enters the ring and the bell sounds almost immediately.  The Fiend and Talon traded control of the match multiple times but the Fiend ended up on the offensive more often and with him connecting with the Last Caress (swinging DDT), he hooked the leg and got the 1-2-3.  The Fiend wins the match but his victory is shortlived as Hardcore Champion Dr. Red Fang ran down.  The Fiend grabbed him as he entered and with the momentum going, hurled him right out of the ring on the other side.  Fang screamed from the outside and the Fiend beckoned for him to come back in but the Doctor had other plans and slunk to the back.  (16 min)

Backstage, King Wilber says he wants his World title shot.  Sonic Blade enters the picture once again and says he has an offer Wilber can’t refuse.  He says he wants two things from Wilber and is willing to put his career on the line.  He wants not only Wilber’s title shot but his crown vs the career of Sonic Blade.  Wilber offers an alternative as he likes having him around.  He’ll put his title shot on the line but instead of Sonic’s career, he wants Sonic to pledge his allegiance to him and join him in his fight if he loses.  Sonic accepts and walks off.

We head back to the ring for our next match.  Wendell Hammerschmidt comes out first to a decent pop from the crowd. Manager MJ comes out next and introduces Red McNulty and sends him to the ring.  Red runs down and attacks Wendell.  Red nails an Irish Sickle but doesn’t go for the pin.  Wendell fights back and connects with a German suplex but Red hurls him out of the ring.  He follows Wendell out and hurls him into the steel steps.  Ensuring Wendell wasn’t getting back up, Red rolled back in and allowed Wendell to get counted out.  Red McNulty gets the win via countout.  (2 min)

A car pulls up and the Duchess exits and says she’s fighting tonight to get her title back.  Duchess promises Starr that her time as champion will not be a lengthy one.

The next match begins with the Smashers making their way out first and they are booed.  Next, the Hollywood Star and ‘the Gold Standard’ Bruce Biltmore come out next.  All four men fight in the ring until the ref breaks things up to get this one properly started.  Bruce and the Star got their licks in but the tag team excellence from the Smashers (even though we hate them) took the match to a new level.  The match was granted a 30 min time limit and the Smashers needed all but 60 seconds to add another tick in the win column after Smasher #2 hit Bruce with a spinning back elbow.  After the match, Smashers 1&2 grabbed the Hollywood Star and nailed him with the Fall of Man through a table (conveniently) set up at ringside.  The fans booed as the Smashers left and suits came out to help Star and Bruce from the ring.  (29 min)

The US champion ‘The Ragin Cajun’ Rad Gumbo shows up and claims a spot on the card tonight but says he didn’t bring his title so this one has to be a non-title match.  He says it doesn’t matter if the belt is on the line or not, he will be the one with his arm raised.

We go back to the right for the next match.  First, Muscles Thorpe comes out wearing rainbow colored bull horns and interacts with the fans on his way down to the ring.  Next, Superquake Ferguson comes out and the fans are mixed about him.  Once both men got in the ring, the bell rang.  Ferguson was in control for roughly 8 minutes but then once Thorpe nailed him with the E-Train Running Bodyblock that sent him flying out of the ring, things changed in favor of Thorpe.  Thorpe peppered Superquake all around the ring and the ring shook violently after Thorpe hit a huge powerslam.  A groggy Ferguson got to his feet and Thorpe climbed to the top turnbuckle and as soon as Ferguson turned around, Thorpe nailed him with the E-Train Body Block.  Thorpe made the cover and got the 3 count.  Thorpe gets the win and then is joined by his teammates McGuire and Weasley.  They goofed around for a few moments then all left.   (21 min)

GM Max McGillicutty is in his office and makes the match between King Wilber and Sonic Blade official for next week’s show.  Either Sonic is back in the World title top 10 or he goes into the service of his majesty.

The next match kicks off with the Duchess making her way down to the ring.  She wastes no time in calling Felicia Cummings out to get this match started and she regretted every second of it.  Felicia came out and wiped the mat with the former Ladies champion and the future was looking very bleak for her.  Sensing her leader was in jeopardy, Court member Lady Hermann ran down and noticed that Felicia’s twin Betsy was going to get involved so she stopped her and beat her silly.  Felicia ran to the aid of her sister and the Duchess then occupied the ref’s attention. Lady Hermann turned and demolished Felicia planting her with a DDT on the floor.  The ref then counted and once he reached 10, he awarded the match and the spot in the top 10 lineup to the Duchess.  Duchess called Lady Hermann into the ring and the two celebrated before leaving. (9 ½ min; Felicia was winning 56 to 17)

We get an unexpected treat when World Champion Texas Wildfire comes out and says that one of our own has been gone for long enough and it’s time for him to return to the ring.  He then introduces former World Champion Drew the Canadian Love Machine.  Drew comes out to a big pop.   He thanks TW for the warm reception.  He says that as the longest reigning (former) champion, he is automatically entitled to a rematch.  He says that at some point he may cash it in but he wants to work back up to where he will be a viable threat to TW’s belt and promises the two will meet again.  They shake hands and then leave.

It is time for our main event.  Billy Robbins makes his way out first and gets into the ring.  Next, over the loud speakers blares “Gumbo 7:30 says it’s suppa time bitch!” and out comes the US Champion ‘The Ragin Cajun’ Rad Gumbo and his manager MJ.  Gumbo climbs the turnbuckles, poses and flaunts his title in Billy’s face.  He hands the title over and the match begins.

We are not sure why Gumbo insisted on a non-title match as he basically wiped the mat with Robbins.  He really didn’t even need MJ’s help as he looked in perfect form for this match.  Billy put up a struggle at times but Rad was always in control.  16 minutes in, Billy got lucky connecting with a flying bodypress.  He tried to do it a second time but MJ choked him in the corner.  Billy must have lost a lot of oxygen as he stumbled into the center of the ring and Rad rolled him up (with a handful of tights) and got the 1-2-3.   Rad Gumbo wins the match.  MJ enters and hands Rad his belt.  MJ raises Rad’s arm and Rad climbs the turnbuckles once again to pose amidst the booing from the crowd.  With that, the show comes to an end.


Stay tuned as there is a lot more coming.
