Hello
fans and welcome back to our show.
Tonight, the Ragin Cajun himself Rad Gumbo is on hand to defend the US
title. GM Max McGillicutty comes out and
thanks the fans for attending and says he’s got some big news. In just a few weeks, on 7/2, HCW will host its
next PPV – Independence Day Beatdown.
Max tells us that all 6 matches on the card will be title matches. The only two belts that won’t be defended
will be the Elitist title (Master Bull pulled a fast one and put Reid’s title
defense the show before) and the TV title as current champion Biceps Bannerman
will be fighting a week before. Without
further ado, let’s get this show moving!
Our
first match of the evening begins with former Ladies Champion Starr Vixen
coming out to a good pop from the crowd.
Next, Southern Belle makes her way out to a mixed reaction from the
crowd. Belle takes the mic and says she’s
using this air time to challenge El Gato Negro for the Ladies title at the PPV. The fans pop.
Starr takes the mic and says she’s challenging Belle for that spot right
now. She says if she beats Belle, she
gets the shot at the belt. Before Belle
could respond, the bell rang starting off the match. Starr began with trying to hit the Flying
Fivearm but Belle caught her and used her momentum to send her crashing into
the corner steel post. After that, Belle
went to work on the arm and shoulder and Starr was barely able to keep up. The end came after Belle hit the Southern
Swing and hooked the leg for a 3 count.
Southern Belle retains her title shot at the PPV. (8 min)
Backstage,
Buzz and Starbuck Steel barge into Max’s office. Buzz demands to know why Sneezy and Dopey
(Hoff n Spicy) or the Desperate-rados are even being considered for a title
shot. Max reminds Buzz that he calls the
shots (Buzz whispered that he thinks Max calls #900 numbers) and Starbuck
laughs. Max chuckles and tells the Steel
Curtain “You know what else is funny?
Buzz, you get Angry Jack Lawson in a match.” Buzz is irate. “Starbuck”, Max continues, “you get the
Crocodile Hunter. You boys better go get
ready for your matches.” Buzz and
Starbuck storm out and Max shakes his head.
Our
next match starts off with Starbuck Steel making his way out to the ring. I think by now the fans are starting to turn
on the Steel Curtain and Buck’s reception from the fans was not overly
pleasant. Next, the Crocodile Hunter
comes out and the crowd pops huge for him.
He gets in the ring and soaks in the adulation from the fans. For 4 minutes, Croc went to town beating the
snot out of Starbuck. Starbuck tried to
leave but Croc brought him back in. After
a few more minutes of beating Starbuck down, Croc went for a high risk move and
Buck hit the ropes causing Croc to crotch himself on the top turnbuckle
(OUCH). Starbuck hit a Starplex and went
for a pin but Croc managed to kick out.
Starbuck started an offensive run but Croc brought that to a screeching
halt after hitting the Prince’s Throne.
Starbuck decided he’d had enough and rolled out of the ring and made his
way to the back. He ended up getting counted
out awarding the win to Crocodile Hunter via CO. Croc celebrated with the fans briefly before
leaving. (13 ½ min)
Super
Shockmaster is backstage and he criticizes World Champion Texas Wildfire for
the lackluster talent he’s defending his title against. SS says that TW is being protected against
real competition and says he stands up against anyone who thinks they are
worthy. “What about me?” sounds behind
him and SS turns around only to start eating the flying fists from Drew the
Canadian Love Machine. The two men brawl
and after SS grabs a chair and Drew FORCIBLY takes it from him, SS beats a
hasty retreat. Drew is standing there
stewing.
We
head back to the ring as Buzz Steel makes his way down and like Starbuck, the
fans voice their displeasure at him.
Next, Angry Jack Lawson makes his way out and he looks to be in a foul
mood…like someone stole his lollypop. He
rushes the ring and Buzz bails. After
some procrastination, Buzz finally gets back in the ring. Buzz went to the top rope but Jack caught him
and slammed him to the ground. Buzz got
up pretty quick and dropkicked Jack to the outside of the ring. As Jack was making his way back in, Buzz hits
him with the Buzz Cut but Jack rolls back out of the ring to avoid the
pin. Jack makes it back in and after eye
raking Buzz, he climbed to the top rope and hit Buzz with a flying
clothesline. He makes the cover but Buzz
kicks out at 2. Buzz goes for a reverse
neckbreaker but Jack reverses it and hits an Angry chokeslam. Jack goes for the pin but Buzz kicks
out. Buzz hits the Buzz Cut again and
follows it up with a flying knee smash
but Jack no-sells it and hits Buzz with another Angry Chokeslam. He makes the cover and gets the 1-2-3. Angry Jack Lawson wins this one. He crinkles his face in disgust and
leaves. (9 min)
Ferb
Huber is backstage and says he has family to watch his back and Gumbo has no
one but a spindly little manager. That will make the difference when he wins
the belt tonight.
The
next match kicks off with 2 members of the Snake Pit – Niven and Leiton
Snake - making their way down to the
ring. Next, music hits and it’s a
remixed version of “Can’t touch this/Under Pressure” but it’s tweaked enough
(hey, if Vanilla Ice can change it, so can they - instead of it being
dananananananana, it was more like dadadadadadadadada) and out comes “Figgy”
Newton and the team of Hoff n Spicy – Davis ‘the Hoff’ Hoffmeister and DJ CJ
Spice. The fans still don’t know what
to make of them – some cheer and some boo.
The Hoff does a little dance (think Grandmaster Sexay) and DJ pretends
he’s working a turntable. Davis and DJ
were on fire and with Figgy’s help, owned the match. Lots of double teaming from Hoff n Spicy kept
the Snake Pit off their game. While both
the Hoff and DJ were in the ring, Leiton
caught Hoff with a slingblade but DJ hit him with a Superplex. Hoff then hurled Leiton out of the ring and
he was in no shape to make it back in.
Hoff n Spicy get the win much to the delight of their manager. Figgy and his team celebrated and then
left. (12 min)
US
Champion Rad Gumbo is with his manager MJ and he says that the great champion
he is, not only will he defend and retain his title tonight, in two weeks, he’ll
accept the challenge of Dude USA and defend the title against him at the
PPV. Gumbo says no one is more ‘Merican
than he and will prove it tonight.
It’s
time for the main event. Ferb Huber
makes his way out accompanied to the ring by his brothers Junior and Butch
Huber. The ref tells the clan that
Junior and Butch are not authorized to be at ringside and he sends them to the
back. Next, MJ comes out and introduces the
US Champion ‘The Ragin Cajun’ Rad Gumbo.
Gumbo comes out to a decent pop.
Ferb, perturbed that his clan was sent from ringside, goes right after
Rad. The offense was short lived as Rad
turned up the heat and Ferb had to get out of the kitchen. MJ tried one too many times to help Rad out
and Ferb went after him nearly incapacitating him. Rad was not happy someone tried to attack his
manager and he took it out on Ferb.
After dropping Ferb with the “where you at” jabs, MJ used some peanut
shells and used them to eye gouge Ferb.
Rad went for a pin but Ferb got his foot on the ropes. Rad distracted the ref as MJ used more peanut
shells to eye gouge Ferb and then Rad pulled Ferb into the middle of the ring,
hooked the leg and got the 1-2-3. Rad
Gumbo retains the US title. All of a
sudden, Dude USA Mick Rude came out and confronted Rad on his cheating. Gumbo asked the ref if he saw anything and
the ref was clueless. The show came to
an end with Rad flaunting the US title in the face of Mick Rude.
That’s
all for now. Stay tuned for more action.
