HCW Wrestling Newsletter 2017 #608 – Phoenix Heat

Hello fans and welcome back to our show – Phoenix Heat.  Pyro goes off and GM Master Bull makes his way out to the ring.  He thanks everyone for attending and promises a show that will blow their socks off.  He is interrupted by manager J C Dykes.  Dykes takes the mic from Bull forcibly.  Dykes complains to Bull about US Champion the Unknown Assassin not being on every show.  Bull tells Dykes that if that is the case, UA will be required to defend his title at every show.  “That’s unfair!” screams Dykes.  Bull replies “so is being on every show.”  Dykes relents but tells the GM that he’s rue that decision.  Bull leaves to get this show moving.

The show kicks off with the Fiend making his way out to music from the Misfits.  The crowd pops for him.  Next, his opponent and other fan favorite Outback Oscar makes his way out and the crowd also pops for him.  Oscar looked strong in the first two minutes but after the Fiend hit the Project 1950, it was all the Fiend.  Fiend dropped every move in his arsenal and shone like a star.  Oscar tried to get some momentum back by laying in chops to the chest (WOOOOOO) but the Fiend nailed the Last Caress.  As Oscar stumbled to his feet, Fiend nailed a running clothesline and made the cover and got the 1-2-3.  The Fiend gets the win in dominating fashion.  After the match, he extended his hand and Oscar shook it much to the delight of the fans.  (12 min)

The Omegatron flashes a promo “Elitism will reign supreme”.  Hmm, wonder what that means.

It’s time for our next match.  First out is the newest member of the roster yet to debut and he’s known as ‘Top Gun’ Justin Winger.  Winger was actually backstage at the first Phoenix Heat show but for whatever reason, he didn’t get used.  The fans give him a warm reception.  Next, his opponent comes out and it’s Leon Teremoto.  Winger started off slow against the veteran but after Winger hit a flying dropkick and got a near 2 count, things started to go the newcomer’s way.  After that, Winger and Leon were practically even in matching each other move for move.  Winger had connected with the Stylin’ and Flyin’ but Leon tossed him over the top rope and Winger landed hard on the ground.  Unfortunately, it took too long for him to catch his breath and he got counted out.  Leon gets the win via CO in 14 minutes.  After the match, Leon went to leave but Winger stopped him questioning the illegal activity.  Leon didn’t want to sit around and gibber jabber with him so he popped him once in the mouth and then turned to leave.  Winger then nailed Leon with a knee to the back that sent him out of the ring.  Winger then went to the top turnbuckle and as the fans popped HARD, he launched hitting and connecting with a moonsault.  The fans began their ‘Holy Shit’ chants and Winger got to his feet and took in the applause from the crowd.  He left and Leon got helped to his feet and was assisted to the back.

Texas Wildfire is being interviewed and he comments on the last thing the Super Duper Shockmaster said about him.  TW said he was tired of SDSM hiding behind a different brand in a different state.  He told SDSM that if he wants him in the ring, he’s right HERE.

The next match is ready to get underway and Red McNulty had already made his way out to the ring cursing at the fans as he climbed into the ring.  Next, over the loudspeakers blares “Gumbo 7:30 says it’s suppa time bitch!” and the ‘Ragin Cajun’ Rad Gumbo and his manager MJ make their way out.  The fans popped pretty good for Gumbo and he sauntered down to the ring.  McNulty wasted no time in attacking Gumbo.  Gumbo took his time in getting back into the swing of things and with MJ at his side, he eventually blew McNulty away.  The match went on a lot longer than anyone expected and Red was getting frustrated so he removed his eye patch and began choking Gumbo with the strap.  Gumbo got out of it and slapped on the Cottonmouth Clutch but before he could try for a pin, the bell rang bringing this one to a draw finish.  McNulty, not satisfied with the finish, tried to continue to attack but Gumbo sidestepped him and with MJ pulling down the top rope, Red was hit by the Cajun clothesline that sent him tumbling to the floor.  Red mumbled and cursed as he made his way to the back.  Rad celebrated briefly and then he and MJ left.  (20 min draw).

Southern Belle is backstage and she is fuming.  She complains that her loss of the Ladies title was all because she didn’t want to move to Tacoma.  “Why would I want to go to that god-forsaken hell hole?”  Master Bull walks in and says that Belle will eventually get a rematch but if she’s got so much frustration pent up, maybe she needs a match tonight.  Belle says she’ll take whatever.

Texas Wildfire comes out first for the next match and the crowd pops for him.  Next, his opponent the Crocodile Hunter makes his way out.  Both men are fan favorites and the crowd is not sure who they want to cheer for.  It didn’t take long for TW to really blow things up and he dominated the match.  Croc had a hard time keeping up.  A Bionic elbow smash from TW on Croc almost resulted in a near fall.  Croc tried to rush at TW and TW used that momentum to send Croc flying and crashing right into the turnbuckle.  He fell back in and TW went for the cover and got an easy 3 count.  Texas Wildfire gets the win!  After the match, TW helped Croc to his feet and the two shook hands.  Croc raised TW’s arm as the victor and both men left the ring.  (11 min)

TV Champion Phat Sol is backstage and he says the main event is his tonight and he will impress the world by taking on and defeating ‘Perfect Pecs’ Stoddard.  He said he worked too hard to get to this point to not walk out with his title.

Southern Belle storms out to the ring first and the fans are not all that pleased with her flippant attitude.  Next, Scarlett Phoenix makes her way out and Belle was in the ring like “Are you kidding me?  Is this all we have here?”  Scarlett gets in the ring and right into Belle’s face.  Belle shoved her away and the bell rang almost immediately.  Belle was definitely the aggressor immediately throwing Scarlett out of the ring and crashing into the steel steps.  Scarlett struggled with any offense after that and Belle just kept tearing into her.  She then threw Scarlett out of the ring again and this time ran her into the steel post before hurling her into the crowd.  Belle then nonchalantly rolled back in the ring and laid there on her side propped up leaning on her fist waiting for Scarlett to get back in but she never did.  Belle gets the win via countout and she gloats that she is the uncrowned Ladies Champion and promises to get her title back – by hook or crook.  (4 min)

Perfect Pecs Stoddard is backstage and he says he’s pumped and ready to win the TV title again.  Tonight, it will be nothing but pain and suffering for Phat Sol whether he likes it or not.

It’s time for our main event.  First, the challenger Perfect Pecs Stoddard comes out and is booed by the fans.  Next, the champs’ music hits and Phat Sol makes his way down holding his title high. 

Biceps should attack both men after the match and stand tall.  For the first 5 minutes of the match, both men were about even but then Phat hit Pecs with the Phat’s Enough and things dramatically went the champs’ way.  Phat continued to dominate the match and the longer it went on, the more confident Phat got.  As the match was nearing the conclusion, Phat hit the 10 Beats of the Bodran and got a 2 count.  Pecs got up and tried for a rope hung running knee lift but Phat reversed it and hit a jaw jacker instead.  Phat made the quick cover and hooking the leg, he got the 1-2-3.  Phat Sol is successful in his first title defense.  (19 min).  As Phat was celebrating, former champion Biceps Bannerman rushed out and attacked him leveling him with power clotheslines followed by a HUGE splash.  Biceps grabbed the title and he stood over the prone form of Phat as the show came to an end. 

Thanks for reading.  Stay tuned for the next episode of Tacoma Thunder coming your way this weekend.

HCW Wrestling Newsletter 2017 #607 – Tacoma Thunder

Hello fans and welcome back to our show – Tacoma Thunder.  We have a great show for you tonight with the stars of ‘Thunder’ taking center stage.  Pyro goes off and the show begins with no interruption.

Match #1:  Terra Ryzing comes out and is booed.  He flips off the fans.  Next, El Chango comes out and the fans pop for him.  Terra began with a vicious eye rake and thought that was going to give him the lead but El Chango took the fight to him and outshone his competitor.  Terra locked in headlock trying to slow the offense of El Chango but the masked mam slipped out of it and took Terra down with a flying spinning heel kick.  El Chango made the cover and got the easy 1-2-3.  El Chango is victorious.  He celebrated with the fans as he made his way to the back.  (14 min)

Former Hardcore Champion Dr. Red Fang and his manager Ant Graham storm into GM Max McGillicutty’s office and Fang threatens to quit after losing the belt to the returning ‘Elitist’ Reid Rothchild.  When Max tries to encourage it/calling his bluff, Graham and Fang then announce that a break is being taken from the ring and Fang will be hitting the announce desk.  Fang and Graham then storm out.  Wait…what?

The next match is a 6 man battle and the Muscles Trio make their way out to a pop from the crowd.  Next, the 6 Man Champs Scooter J, the Axe and TNT make their way out to even a bigger pop from the crowd.  Axe and TNT started walking down a few seconds earlier than Scooter J but before he could join his teammates, a fan jumped the barrier and attacked Scooter J dropping him hard with a piledriver on the stage.  Security got out there but the damage was done.  The fan was arrested and taken backstage.  GM Max McGillicutty comes out and says he’s postponing the match until later in the evening.  Everyone eventually leaves.

We move on to our next match which will be a 3 way battle to see who will go on to meet Ladies Champion Taylor Bella for the championship.  First, Lavender Gooms makes her way out to a pop from the crowd.  Next, Starr Vixen makes her way out and the crowd pops for her.  Finally, the Duchess makes her way out and she has a mic and calls herself the ‘face’ of the Ladies division here in Tacoma.  She says she’ll prove it tonight defeating the two wannabees.  She makes her way down and is booed pretty heavily.

The three women put on a show that had the fans enthralled.  People did not want to sit down during this match.  Although Lavender contributed to the show, it really became a brawl between the Duchess and Starr Vixen.  The time limit was extended to 30 minutes and they used every second.  After Lavender dropkicked the Duchess out of the ring, Starr went for a running double axe handle smash but Lavender nullified it just as the bell rang bringing this one to a time limit draw.  Max came back out and said that a top contender still couldn’t be determined so he said that one more match will take place between the Duchess and Starr (best performances on the show) next week and then we will have a top contender.  Everyone left but Lavender was a little disappointed for not making the final cut.  (30 min)

Max walks to the back and interacts with security holding that ‘fan’ who attacked Scooter J earlier.  The fan goes by the name Brick and is told he’s being arrested.  Brick says he has an alternate suggestion…give him a match.  He proved he’s smart and calculating.  Max asks why he would do that.  Brick responds that if Max gives him the shot, he will prove he’s the best.  Max tells security to let him go and Brick will get his shot at Scooter J when he’s back.

We get ready to go back to the ring.  With Scooter J out of commission (but it seems he’ll be ok), the match has now become a tag team match.  Two members from the Muscles Trio – Muscles Thorpe and Muscles McGuire make their way out.  Next, the Axe and TNT make their way down and the match gets right underway.  The champs had control early on but the Muscles duo started to give them a run for their money.  About 15 minutes in, ‘Bad News’ Marvin Barnes makes his way out and attempts to attack the Axe but he turns and ends up taking down and injuring TNT leaving the Axe to fight solo against the Muscles.  Axe held his own and ended up taking the fight to the 20 minute time limit.  After the match, Barnes went after the Axe but Axe took Barnes down with the Axe and Axe stood tall while Barnes backed off up the ramp cursing at the Axe all the way.  (20 min draw)

Backstage, the World Tag Team Champs have arrived.  Hoff n’ Spicy are with their manager Figaroa ‘Figgy’ Newton.  Newton says that his team is in action tonight against two maniacs managed by the Weasel Ant Graham – Mason the Mangler and Covfefe.  Davis Hoffmeister says that their opponents may be off their rockers but they are the champs and they will be victorious.  DJ CJ Spice calls them more of a challenge than the crybabies Steel Curtain but regardless, tonight, they will have their arms raised in victory. 

As we get ready for the main event, Dr. Red Fang makes his way down and goes to sit at commentary.  First, Ant Graham comes out and brings out Mason the Mangler and Covfefe.  They are booed as they head down to the ring.  Next, Figgy Newton comes out and with him, the World Tag Team Champions – DJ CJ Spice and Davis Hoffmeister – Hoff n’ Spicy.  Ant has his team attack the champs but the champs fight them off right away.  The champs controlled the entire match which is what was expected but Ant Graham made his presence known and that infuriated MJ.  At commentary, Dr. Red Fang seemed that he was picking on someone.

“I bet @jowsterguy is sitting at home punching those stupid keys. I'd love to punch HIM."  @jowsterguy is the handle of one of our technicians.   Not sure why Fang was picking on him.

Mason and Covfefe began choking the champs in the corners and Fang kept up spewing venom at our technician.

"@jowsterguy: work faster! Programming isn't that hard."

DJ began to fight Covfefe and Mason off and the champs double teamed their opponents for 3 minutes.  Fang started to get violent sitting at commentary.

"@jowsterguy: writing programs is nothing like working Transylvania in the winter.",

“@jowsterguy: WHEN IS \"Run Card\" GOING TO WORK!!! IT'S BEEN OVER A DECADE!"       "Thankfully we don't have to rely on @jowsterguy to provide the entertainment around here."

Fang seemed to get fed up with whatever he was hearing over the headphones and he threw them down and stormed off.

Back in the ring, Graham smacked DJ with his walking cane and Figgy had had enough.  He jumped into the ring and onto the back of Mason the Mangler.  The ref had enough and called for the bell disqualifying the tag team champs.  Since the belts were not on the line tonight, nothing changes hands but the win puts Mason and Covfefe in line for a future title shot.  DJ and Hoff ended up disposing their opponents from the ring and stood holding their titles.   Figgy joined them and they all stood tall as Ant took his team to the back.

With that, the show came to an end.  Thanks for reading.  Stay tuned for our next episode.

***Note:  Making his HCW debut next show in Phoenix is none other than ‘Top Gun’ Justin Winger.

HCW Wrestling Newsletter 2017 #606 – Phoenix Heat

Hello fans and welcome back to our show.  Today is the first episode of “Phoenix Heat”.  Pyro goes off and GM Master Bull makes his way out.  Bull tells the fans that they are the best in the world and they pop for him. (cheap pop)  He says that like Tacoma Thunder, today’s show will be a 2 hour time limit and each match will have a 20 min time limit.  He then says he doesn’t want to waste any more time but he does have one MAJOR announcement and he then motions to the back and music plays and out comes…Holy Crap…it’s ‘the Elitist’ Reid Rothchild and Ravishing Raquel.  They’ve returned!  Both shake Master Bull’s hand.  Reid has a mic and declares that the Elitist team in all professional wrestling are back and they are here now to make a major impact.  He hands the mic to Raquel who says that after sitting on the sidelines (after retiring the Elitist title that she beat Reid for), she’s ready to get back in the hunt for the Ladies title.  She says she will wrestle on today’s show.  She hands the mic back to Reid who says he’s not holding back and immediately issues a challenge to Dr. Red Fang for the Hardcore title.  Bull says that match will be on the show tonight.   The fans pop and they all leave.

Match #1 starts with tag team action.  First, Leiton and Niven Snake come out to a mixed reaction from the crowd.  Next, music changes and out comes the Steel Curtain – Buzz and Starbuck Steel with their manager the Ambassador.  They are booed and the Curtain flips off the fans.  They go right on the offensive however it did them very little good.  The Snake Pit were on their game and took the fight to the former champs.  The Pit were looking sharp until they got a little cocky.  Starbuck then took a huge risk and caught Niven and they both went sailing over the top rope (Starbuck was not the legal man).  Niven landed awkwardly and Starbuck did everything he could to keep him distracted.  He succeeded and Niven ended up getting counted out.  The Steel Curtain steal a win but they don’t care.  They leave with the Ambassador without further incident (except continuing to flip the fans off who booed them).  (17 min)

Master Bull opens a package and it’s the portrait of the Unknown Assassin that he sent (on purpose?) to GM Max McGillicutty.  He responds with “ah crap” and he calls an assistant to go put up it up somewhere… maybe a remote bathroom or something.

Match #2 is ready to go and Madame Jade makes her way out to a pop from the crowd.  Next, music changes and out comes Ravishing Raquel.  The crowd pops for her as she makes her way down to the ring.  Raquel dominated the match quite well despite her having been on hiatus.  Jade got desperate and tossed Raquel out of the ring.  Raquel tried to get back in but Jade prevented her from getting in.  Finally, the ref counted Raquel out and awarded the match to Madame Jade via countout.  The fans weren’t happy with the outcome but did pop when Raquel dropkicked Jade right out of the ring.  Jade cursed at her as she made her way back up the ramp.  Raquel took in the adulation from the fans briefly before leaving.  (9 ½ min)

Steel Curtain are backstage and call their loss to Hoff n Spicy a “crock of $h!t.  (I guess Master Bull has taken to censoring them like Max did). They will bide their time and when they’re ready, they will dominate the sport like no team ever.

Match #3:  Jesse California vs Otto Ruthless.  Otto dominated the match and Jesse just never got his rhythm going.  When he thought he softened Jesse up enough, he locked Jesse in the Yukon Cloverleaf.  Jesse, exhausted from the ruthless aggression, tapped.  Otto gets the win via submission.  He stomped on Jesse a few times after the match and then left to booing from the crowd.  (16 min)

Backstage, Hardcore champion Dr. Red Fang is with his manager Ant Graham.  Graham is frustrated that Fang is being forced to defend his title against some nobody who left when the going got tough.  Graham says that Reid is a nothing who has nothing and will leave with nothing.  Fang exclaims “One day, Johnny Temp and I will headline a PPV.”

Match #4:  Former World Champion King Wilber comes out for his match.  He comes out with very little pomp and circumstance.  He gets in the ring.  Next, the Honorable J C Dykes comes out and introduces the US Champion the Unknown Assassin.  Dykes tells everyone that tonight’s match will NOT be for the US title as Wilber has proven he can’t hold on to a title against a simpleton such as the man who took the gold from him Sonic Blade.  UA makes his way down as Wilber paces in the ring.   Wilber showed why he was the World Champ but UA stayed right there with him.  After Dykes nearly got his nose taken off for interfering, UA hits Wilber with a Fireman’s Carry Roll and gets the 3 count.  Unknown Assassin is victorious in his match.  Dykes runs around the ring yelling “I told you so”.  UA and Dykes eventually leave the ring.  (12 min)

Master Bull comes out again thanking the fans for attending.  He wastes no time in bringing Reid Rothchild back out to the ring.  The two shake hands and Reid makes his way to the ring.  Then, over the loudspeakers started to blare “VAMPIRE LUNGES FOR EVERYONE” and Ant Graham and the Hardcore Champion Dr. Red Fang make their way out to the ring for tonight’s main event.  Graham is quick to add the stipulation for tonight’s show which is “Lights Out” rules.  Fang, of course cheated wherever he could but Reid battled back and the fans popped each time he did.  After taking a beating for what seemed like an eternity, Reid battled back and they surpassed the 20 minute time limit but the bell didn’t ring.  When questioning the time keeper, he said that Master Bull made this a 30 minute match.  Reid hurled Fang chest first right into the corner and Fang crashed hard and fell back in the ring.  Reid then climbed to the top turnbuckle and after giving the nod to the Macho Man Randy Savage, he leapt off connecting with the Macho Elbow.  Reid makes the cover and the ref counted 1…2…3.  Reid defeated Dr. Red Fang to become the NEW HARDCORE CHAMPION.  Graham complained on the outside of the ring while Reid celebrated holding the title high as the show came to an end.

Thanks for reading.  Sunday takes us back up to Tacoma.  Stay tuned.

HCW Wrestling Newsletter 2017 #605 – Tacoma Thunder

Hello fans and welcome to our debut show called “Tacoma Thunder” taking place in gorgeous Tacoma, WA.  After some pyro, a video airs introducing the new Thunder roster.  Once completed, GM Max McGillicutty comes out to a pop from the crowd and thanks everyone (sold out show) for attending.  Max tells us that they have a hell of a show tonight that will see World Champion Sonic Blade on the show today.  Max also informs us that both Thunder and Heat will now be changed to 2 hour shows each with a 20 minute time limit unless circumstances warrant a change.  Max leaves and then more pyro goes off.

After the pyro ended, the man known as the Super Duper Shockmaster makes his way out and takes a mic.  He says that Texas Wildfire was so afraid of him that he hightailed it to the ‘other’ brand.  SDSM says that he will destroy the roster until he is granted another shot at TW.  He demands a match right here and now.

Newcomer Ovaltine Jackson comes out to a pop from the crowd.   Fans have signs reading “Be sure to drink your Ovaltine”.  He gets in the ring and is immediately attacked by SDSM but Ovaltine fights him off.  SDSM went for a huge splash but Ovaltine moved and as SDSM staggered out of the corner, he was hit by a spinebuster.  SDSM struggled to his feet only to get caught by the Director’s Cut Powerslam.  Ovaltine went for the cover and got the 3 count.  Ovaltine Jackson gets the win and celebrates by climbing the turnbuckles.  Well, SDSM wasn’t thrilled and then hit him from behind knocking him from the turnbuckles and falling to the floor.  SDSM followed Ovaltine to the floor and then rammed him viciously into the ring post.  SDSM then laughed as security got in between them to prevent any further attacks.  Super Duper Shock Master then leaned over and said “How’s that win looking for you now chump stain?”  He laughed his deep, mechanical laugh as he made his way to the back.  (4 min)

Ant Graham is backstage with Covfefe.  Graham speaks for his man and says that it’s time for Covfefe to have a shot at some gold but one man is standing in the way of that…Drew the Canadian Love Machine.  Graham promises the next title shot goes to his man.

We head back to the ring for our next match.  First, TNT comes out to a pop from the crowd.  He is followed out by his opponent Ghee Buttersnaps.  Ghee stuns TNT with an elbow smash.  He follows it up with another but TNT pulls him over the top rope and both men tumble to the outside.  The two begin to brawl and before the 10 count was reached, TNT rolled back into the ring right before Ghee did and Ghee ended up getting counted out.  Jeez, another really short match @ 2 minutes on this one.  Ghee, frustrated, leaves while TNT celebrates with the fans before departing.

Ladies wrestler Starr Vixen is being interviewed and she says she loves the Pacific Northwest in all its glory.  She says she’s glad she was picked for this brand as she knows they will dominate.  She says she’s fighting Lavender Gooms later in the show and says she’s ready to show the Tacoma fans what she can do.

We head back to the ring for the next mach.  First, ‘Bad News’ Marvin Barnes comes out and he is booed.  Next, one member of the 6 man champions the Axe comes out to a pop from the crowd.  He is tall but Barnes is practically there with him; just has more bulk.  The Axe was dominating Barnes and even scored some near falls after dropping Barnes with the Axe.  Barnes, however, is about as dirty as they come and after ‘accidentally’ bumping the ref, Barnes hits Axe with a low blow.  He then picked Axe up and set him up on the top turnbuckle.  Barnes then climbed up there too (what the heck is he doing?) and then actually picked up Axe and then hit a thunderous POWERBOMB FROM THE TOP ROPE!  Holy Sh!t chants rang out throughout the entire building.  Barnes crawled over and draped an arm over Axe’s prone form.  The count was slow.  1…2…3.  Barnes gets a HUGE win over the Axe.  Barnes makes it to his feet (it seems it took almost the same out of him) and he let the ref raise his arm in victory.  He didn’t stick around long and medics came out to check on Axe.  He was shaken after that but ok.  He left on his own accord to a pop from the fans.  (13 min)

Drew the Canadian Love Machine is backstage and he says that Covfefe (aka Magnum Kone) is the thing nightmares come from but he takes no stock in such things and he’ll put this one to bed.

Our next match is ready to go and Lavender Gooms comes out first to a mixed reaction from the crowd.   Next, Starr Vixen comes out and she gets a loud pop from the crowd.  Starr had control of the first couple of minutes of the match but then Lavender then just took over dominating her opponent.  After attempting a sliding kick to the floor, missing and then crashing into the steel post, Lavender took a turn for the worse and Starr turned up the heat.  She immediately pulled Lavender into the middle of the ring and locked in a scissored armbar.  Lavender couldn’t reach the ropes regardless of how hard she struggled but in the end, she just tapped out.  Starr gets the win (12 min) and then extends a hand to Lavender helping her up.  The fans pop but then they are interrupted by the Duchess.  The Duchess has a mic and tells us that Max came to her asking her to be the Ladies Face of HCW Tacoma.  In order for her to successfully do that, she needs to be the Ladies Champion once again.  She proceeds to call Taylor Bella out (who was not there today) and challenges her for the belt.  Both Lavender and Starr seem to take offense and tell the Duchess that if she wants a title match, she has to go through them.  The Duchess laughs and says she’d go through them like a hot knife through butter.  Starr tells her to go sign a contract for a match and they will do the same.  After a brief staredown, the Duchess eventually leaves and is followed by Lavender and Starr.

Backstage, Bad News Barnes is interviewed.  “Axe was the biggest guy in HCW but that is no longer the case.  Bad News is here to stay and now I’M the biggest dog in this yard.  Anyone who wants to steal my bone can ask the Axe exactly what THAT just felt like.”

The Smashers make their way out to the ring and demand a match against any competitor.  Smasher #1 asked, when no one came out, “is the entire roster afraid of us?  Get us some competition!”   A few moments later and the Muscles Trio showed up on the stage to a huge ovation from the crowd.  The three did a ‘rock, paper, scissors’ and Muscles Thorpe and McGuire headed down to the ring for the match.  The Smashers didn’t like waiting so they attacked Thorpe and McGuire in an effort to get the match going.  The Smashers DOMINATED the Muscles.  Those poor rainbow colored bull horn wearing lovable little guys had their asses handed to them and then some.  It didn’t help that Thorpe got injured in the first minute of the match leaving his partner to be annihilated.  Towards the end, Muscles Weasley ran down and tried to throw in the towel for his team but Smasher #1 caught it and hurled it back in his face.  After they were satisfied with the destruction they rained upon their opponents, #1 hit McGuire with a knee smash and he made the lazy cover (no one was kicking out of anything) and the Smashers got the win.  After the match, Smasher #2 took the mic and called out the World Tag Team Champions.  To everyone’s surprise, the Champs Hoff n Spicy (Davis Hoffmeister and DJ CJ Spice) came out.  DJ had a mic of his own and told the Smashers that the champs are HERE and not hard to find.  Davis chimed in and said that anytime the Smashers wanted to play in the big leagues, they were HERE.  The fans popped for them and they left without further action.  The Smashers ended up storming out of the ring.  (21 minutes, 73 to 140)

Backstage, GM Max McGillicutty found that somehow in the move, the picture (defaced more than ever) of the Unknown Assassin made its way to Tacoma.  He took it down and made a point of sending it back to Master Bull.

It’s time for our main event.  First, manager Ant Graham came out and introduced Covfefe.  He came out and was booed his entire walk down to the ring.  Next, surprising music hit and out came World Champion Sonic Blade.  Sonic came out and got the crowd to pop louder than they have all night.  Sonic walked straight down to commentary and then told us that he was there to scout the match.  He said he wanted to see the top two men for his title in action.  Finally, Drew the Canadian Love Machine came out to what had to be the loudest pop from this crowd.  He made his way to the ring and after staring down both Covfefe and Ant Graham, he climbed the turnbuckle to pose for the fans.  He hopped down and took off his jacket getting ready for the match.  GM Max McGillicutty came out and told us that only 51 minutes of the show was actually wrestling and he didn’t want the Tacoma fans to go home un-satisfied so he declared that this match would be a 60 minute, greatest number of falls wins.  The first fight went only 7 minutes and ended after Ant Graham got mad at the ref and shoved him resulting in a DQ.

Fall 1:  Drew the Canadian Love Machine (7 minutes expired)

The battle continued and the next fall went a little longer (11 minutes) and ended again because of Ant’s interference.  This time Ant smacked Drew with his walking cane ( the ref didn’t see it) and Covfefe got the pin.

Fall 2:  Covfefe (18 min expired)

Covfefe started the next fall stronger but that was only because Drew was recovering from the cane shot.  Once he recovered, the Canadian Love Machine took the fight to the monster but both men were beginning to slow down a bit.  They took their time in this fall and after 29 minutes, Drew hit a handstand head scissors and got the 3 count.

Fall #3:  Drew the CLM (47 min expired)

Right off the bat, Drew took out Ant Graham with a flying fivearm.  He then pull out some handcuffs that Ant was carrying around (probably was going to use them) and he handcuffed the manager to a barrier effectively taking him out of the picture.  With Graham gone, Covfefe was lost and confused and that just let Drew go to town (124 to 47).  There were only 13 minutes left for this fall and Drew took it right to the end.  With only seconds to spare, Drew hit the corkscrew pescado and got the 1-2-3.  (final mark was 59:54)  Drew is the official #1 contender and even exhausted, he was still able to celebrate.  Sonic Blade entered the ring and extended his hand to Drew who shook it.  The two had a stare down as the show came to a close.

Hello fans and welcome back to  our newsletter.  Well, GM’s Master Bull and Max McGillicutty have gotten together and completed the draft for their respective shows.  Bull will run the Phoenix Heat show (Wednesdays) and Max will run the Tacoma Thunder show (Sun).  Just as they were sitting down getting ready to pick for the draft, they got a visitor.  A young man has shown up asking for a tryout.  Max told him that things were on hold for the moment.  The youngster said that he had a tape of one of his latest matches and asked that if he and Master Bull would watch it.  If they thought he was worthy, he’d like a shot on the actual roster.  Master Bull thought about it for a moment and then asked to see the tape.  Bull popped it in the VCR (I guess there was no DVD copy available) and watched an independent promotion match starring ‘Top Gun’ Justin Winger.  Winger was taking on 80/90’s wrestler Angel of Death.  This one was a disaster…but not on Winger’s part.  For 4 minutes, he practically destroyed the Angel of Death and finished him off quickly with a flying knee to the back.  After the match was finished, Bull looked at Winger and said what little that was there was impressive but he really needs to shine on the big stage.  Max and Bull agree to allow “Top Gun” to try out for the HCW roster.  Once he is drafted, he will have his debut match and then it will be decided if he’ll be offered a contract.  Justin shook hands with the general managers and then left. 

It didn’t take as long as we expected but here is how the draft played out.
