HCW Wrestling Newsletter 2017 #597


Hello fans and welcome back to our newsletter.  Well, it seems that both the card for our Supershow on 8/20 and then our PPV ‘Reign of Champions’ a week later are starting to take shape.  We’re confident that before the week is out, we should have the card almost 100% ironed out. 

The show begins backstage with Drew the Canadian Love Machine approaching Sonic Blade.  Drew tells Sonic that as a former World Champion, it should be he challenging Wilber for the World title at the PPV as his track record speaks for itself.  However, he’s not the top contender so tonight, he is challenging Sonic to a match for that spot at the PPV.  Sonic says Drew had his time in the spotlight now it’s time for him to step aside and let someone else enjoy it.  Drew says that their match later tonight will prove who the better man is.  He walks off.

We go to the ring for our first match which will be a mixed 6 person tag team match.  Figaroa ‘Figgy’ Newton comes out and introduces his team – Hoff n Spicy (Davis Hoffmeister and DJ CJ Spice) along with Taylor Bella.  They all head down to the ring to a pop from the crowd.   Next, their opponents come out.  It is Adam Jameson, Billy Robbins and Scarlett Phoenix.  Taylor started out against Scarlett but it didn’t take long for Davis and CJ to join the fray.  Figgy had his team working as a well-oiled machine.  At the 16 minute mark, Taylor made the hot tag to DJ CJ and Scarlett made the tag to Adam.  Adam hit the ropes but DJ CJ caught him in a handstand headlock.  He quickly turned it into a pin and with a hook of the leg, got the 1-2-3.  Figgy’s team gets the win and continues their winning ways.  After the match, all 6 people shook hands in the ring much to the delight of the fans.

Texas Wildfire wants another match against the Hollywood Star.  After some pressure from GM Max McGillicutty, Star reluctantly agrees.

Next on the card is a rematch between Texas Wildfire and the Hollywood Star.  TW came out first to a huge pop from the crowd followed by the Hollywood Star who got a mixed reaction.  This match went pretty much the same way their last encounter went with TW controlling the majority of the match.  Once again, Star tried to get TW counted out but this time it didn’t work.  TW kept the match pretty much on the mat until he decided to risk a move.  He went to the top rope but Star knocked him down and he hung upside down after his leg got caught in the ropes.  Hollywood pulled him back up and attempted another senton but TW reversed it and nailed a beautifully executed superplex from the top rope.  He made the cover and got the 1-2-3.  Texas Wildfire gets the win and walks around the ring trying to get the blood flowing to his leg again.  Both men eventually leave.  (19 min)

We cut back to Max’s office and he has both the Muscles Trio and 5th Column in there.  Max says that the Column keep using a countout to get their win but if that rule is cancelled, the Trio reign supreme.  Max says that starting with their 5th encounter tonight and moving forward, the countout rule is being thrown out and all will be no CO matches.  The Column protest but Max ends up kicking everyone out of his office.

We go back to the ring for more action.  Smasher #2 comes out for some singles action.  Next, his opponent the Crocodile Hunter comes out to a huge pop from the crowd.  Smasher #2 goes right on the attack but Croc was expecting it.  Croc was controlling the entire match until in from the crowd came Angry Jack Lawson.  Croc got tossed out of the ring and Smasher #2 distracted the ref while Jack nailed Croc with an angry chokeslam.  Jack then left yelling “that’s what you get for sticking your nose in MY business” and the ref started the count and reached 10 counting Crocodile Hunter down and out and awards the match to Smasher #2.  Smasher laughs at Croc and then leaves.  (12 min)

Backstage, World Champion King Wilber says that neither Drew nor Sonic are worthy adversaries and tonight, he takes on one he considers at the top of his game – Ice Dagger.  He then laughs saying that he really isn’t all that good and tonight’s win will be an easy one.

It’s time for the #5 match between the Muscles Trio and the 5th Column.  Both teams eventually made it to the ring and they wasted no time getting this one started.  The Column had a lot to prove in this match (that they can win without it being a countout victory) and they were the more aggressive and it paid off for them,  Both teams triple teamed the other a few times in the match but it was the Column who did the most damage.  At the 16 minute mark, Baron von Blood caught Muscles McGuire with a Nuremburg backbreaker and after Oswald and Karl knocked Thorpe and Weasley off the mat, Baron hooked the leg (and the tights for leverage) and got the 1-2-3.  The 5th Column get the win and now are only one win away from getting a shot at the 6 man titles. 

Ice Dagger is backstage and says that King Wilber is so focused on the fight between Sonic Blade and Drew that he is totally overlooking him and that will be his downfall.

In a different area backstage, manager ‘Honorable’ J C Dykes and the Unknown Assassin stand staring at the camera surrounded by their escort.

Dykes:  "It’s time we get a title shot! I have wrestling companies begging for my champ's presence. You decide the belt. Just pick one. At this time I will reveal more of the deadly skills my Champ has. Show them Assassin!" (Assassin comes forward and karate chops 3 1 inch boards, followed by 3 rows of cinder blocks, followed by 12" ice block.)

Dykes: "He's more deadly and dangerous than the worst tornado ever to hit the state of Texas. I had cows end up in 4 different counties and started giving chocolate milk. My man is barred in 13 countries because of his killer expertise. Shaq O'Neal wants him as a bodyguard. I would say you better follow my demands or ELSE!!" J C Stomps off with the Unknown Assassin in tow along with their police escort.

Drew the Canadian Love Machine comes out first to a huge pop from the crowd.  Next, Sonic Blade comes out to an equally loud pop.  Sonic enters the ring and he and Drew go nose to nose but shake hands before the bell rings.  The match doesn’t even get started before King Wilber makes his way out.  Wilber attempts to trip Sonic but gets caught by the ref and is thrown out from ringside.  Drew begins a comeback but tosses Sonic to the ropes who hits him with a Brazilian Press.  Drew tried to roll through it but Sonic kept the momentum going and rolled it back into a pin and got the 1-2-3.  Sonic Blade gets the win and keeps his spot at the PPV.  Drew was upset but eventually shook Sonic’s hand much to the delight of the fans.  (7 min)

GM Max McGillicutty is backstage with Master Bull and they are working on the plans for the split that will be taking place after the PPV.  Max and Bull seem to be satisfied with the way things are working out. 

We go back to the ring for the next match.  Sarona Reiher makes her way out to the ring first and is mostly booed.  Next, former Ladies Champion Starr Vixen comes out to a pretty huge pop which surprises even her.  She gets in the ring and climbs 2 of the turnbuckles before Sarona asks if they’re going to wrestle or get cheap pops from the crowd.  Starr had the match pretty much locked up until the final minute of the match:

===== In the 14th minute of the match: =====

Starr Vixen (f) rolled DC

Sarona Reiher (f) rolled OC.

Sarona Reiher (f) executes a SUPERFLY SPLASH....

1...2...3
Starr Vixen (f) was pinned by Sarona Reiher (f)!!!


Sarona Reiher (f) wins with a SUPERKICK over Starr Vixen (f)!!!

Sarona steals a win over Starr and she proudly flaunts it.  Starr then hits her with a flying dropkick that sends her flying out of the ring over the top rope.  The fans pop for Starr while Sarona makes her way grumbling to the back.  Starr leaves moments later.

A montage airs highlighting King Wilber’s history in HCW.  It shows him defeating (then King) CJ to claim the title of “King” and shortly after that, his winning the World title.  At the end, Wilber basically threatens the entire roster saying that they’d best get used to what they’re seeing as he’s not going anywhere and his title is staying put.

It’s time for the main event.  The music “Ice Dagger Baby” plays and Ice Dagger comes out to a mixed reaction from the crowd.  His music is abruptly cut off and King Wilber Townsend comes out on his throne carried by his lackeys.  Wilber holds the World title high as he’s brought to the ring.  He steps off his throne and into the ring as the fans boo him.  Wilber laughs at them and calls the fans sheep for following blindly.  He is the one true person who can save them all.  This one was really no contest as Wilber wiped the map with ID.  Wilber hit a lifting sideslam right off the bat and almost got a 3 right then and there.  Dagger got in a few good shots but nothing that did much damage.  Wilber connecting with a running senton that pretty much folded Dagger up into a neat little package.  He made the cover and got the 1-2-3.  King Wilber is victorious in his title defense.  (7 min).  Then, Sonic Blade came out and rushed to the ring where he and Wilber traded blows with neither getting the upper hand.  Sonic whipped Wilber into the ropes and hit the Alhambra Attack.  Wilber then hit him with a low blow and followed it up with the Go To Sleep.  Wilber stood over Sonic and put his foot on Sonic’s chest and held the title high and laughing as the show came to an end.

Thanks for reading.  Stay tuned as things are really heating up.
