HCW Wrestling Newsletter 2017 #612 – Phoenix Heat


Hello fans and welcome back to another episode of HCW’s Phoenix Heat.  The show kicks off with Elitism making their way down to the ring.  The fans cheer for Roderick and Reid Rothchild.  Roderick takes the mic and tells the fans that good things come to those who wait.  They put the Steel Curtain under a microscope and proved they’re not the greatest team in the world they claim to be when a newbie team gives them a serious run for their money.  He says that Reid has a bombshell.  He hands the mic to Reid.  Reid says that Elitism isn’t about singles but about a team – a dominating team and for them to be that dominating team, he has to give Elitism 100%.  He announces that he is dropping the Hardcore title and he and Roderick will take on the Tag Team Champs – Hoff n Spicy -  in a non-title match.  The fans pop but things go sour when the Steel Curtain come out.  Buzz can’t believe what he’s hearing.  The Steel Curtain are multi-time tag team champions and a team who’s had 2 whole matches – one they LOST by pin get a shot at the champs? That is bull crap.  Starbuck adds in that if Elitism thinks they’re going to build a reputation off of them then they are sorely mistaken.  Starbuck says that Elitism will not use them as a stepping stone and if they really want to play in the big leagues, they’re in for a rude awakening.  Buzz leans in and says “Word” and the Curtain leave. 

GM Master Bull comes out and makes his way to the ring.  He shakes hands with Reid and Roderick.  Bull asks Reid if this is what he really wants to do and Reid says yes handing over the Hardcore title.  Elitism leaves the ring. Bull says that they will not wait long for a new champion as tonight, there will be a 4 man tournament to crown a new champion.  He announces that Ivan Dragovich, the Fiend, Leon Teremoto and ‘Top Gun’ Justin Winger will round out the matches and one will walk out tonight with gold.  He says that for the final match, hardcore rules will be in effect and to make sure a champ is crowned, he’s extending the time limit on each match to 30 minutes just in case.  He leaves and says those matches will begin…NOW.

Our show is underway with the Russian Ivan Dragovich making his way down to the ring amidst booing from the crowd.  The music changes and out comes ‘Top Gun’ Justin Winger.  He gets a pop as he heads down to the ring.  Ivan doesn’t seem to care for him so he goes right on the offensive.  Winger surprised Ivan by giving just as good as he got.  Just as the match was starting to get flowing, Ivan nailed a spinning heel kick and Winger went down.  Ivan then began yelling at the crowd not paying attention to Top Gun.  Winger got to his feet and out of nowhere, nailed Ivan with the Flyin & Stylin and rolled him up for the 1-2-3.   Ivan tried to attack Justin but Top Gun got out of the ring before any damage could be inflicted. Winger gets the win and moves on in the tournament.  (4 min)

Backstage, the Tag Team Champions are here with their manager Figaroa ‘Figgy’ Newton.  Figgy says that Hoff n Spicy are running wild and tonight, they bring their enthusiasm (and fans) to Phoenix for a real treat.  DJ CJ says that they heard a new team was in town and wanted a piece of the champs.  Guess what…they’re here.  Davis Hoffmeister adds that he’s heard that the Steel Curtain are still causing waves upset that they haven’t gotten a title shot.  Davis tells them that their manager must be inept as they’ve seen no contracts or offers come their way.  Davis tells the Curtain to stop complaining and prove they are worthy of a title match.

We head to the ring for our next match.  First, former Hardcore Champion the Fiend comes out to music from the Misfits.  He gets a loud pop as he makes his way down to the ring.  Next, the music changes and out comes Leon Teremoto.  Leon gets a pop from the crowd, just not the level that the Fiend got.  The Fiend takes the mic and tells Leon that if wants to prove he’s worthy of being a Hardcore champ, this match needs to have special rules.  He suggests they make it a ‘Falls count anywhere’ match and Leon agrees.  The Fiend hits the Project 1950 (headbutt smash) that stunned Leon. The Fiend follows it up with a dropkick.  Leon grabs a handful of hair but the Fiend press slams him into the 3rd row.  Leon makes his way back to the ring.  The Fiend goes for a running dropkick but Leon swats him away.  The Fiend goes for a running clothesline but Leon reverses it and hits a DDT on the metal steps and then locks in the Gorilla Hug.  The Fiend is out of it and ends up tapping out.  Leon Teremoto gets the win and now goes on to fight Top Gun to see who will become the new Hardcore champ.  (5 min)

Backstage, Buzz and Starbuck Steel say they’ve heard the comments from the curtain jerkers holding their titles.  Buzz says that if they really want to see what the Steel Curtain is made of, they can watch their match later when they take on Otto Ruthless and Talon McFrosty err, I mean Frosty the Snow Man…no wait, that’s not it.   Starbuck says it doesn’t matter what their names are. Tonight, they’ll be just another victim of the Steel Curtain.  Both men lean in and say “Word”.

We go back to the ring as Southern Belle makes her way out.  She says that she’s beaten everyone on this roster as well as the Tacoma roster and wants fresh blood.  Ravishing Raquel comes out and says that it’s been a while since the two of them mixed things up and how about putting on a show now?  Belle says that Raquel is top talent and their match really should be main eventing PPV’s but since there isn’t one for a few weeks, now is good.  Belle immediately attacked Raquel slamming her into the turnbuckle multiple times and Raquel was just disoriented.  Belle took advantage of it and dominated the former Ladies and Elitist Champion.  About 10 minutes in, both ladies took the action to the outside of the ring and Raquel began tearing into Belle.  Belle started to get worried so after hitting a low blow, she handcuffed Raquel to the ringside barrier.  Belle rolled back in at the 5 count and stood there smiling and waving as Raquel struggled to get free of the handcuff.  She just got it worked free when the bell rang signaling she got counted out.  Southern Belle gets the win and starts laughing.  Raquel then hit the ring and began peppering Belle with lefts and rights and then hit the Simply Ravishing.  Belle rolled out of the ring cursing as she made her way up the ramp.  Raquel celebrated with the fans before leaving.  (10 ½ min)

Backstage, manager J C Dykes is with the US Champion the Unknown Assassin.  Dykes says that by hook or crook, he will figure out a way to get the Unknown Assassin on EVERY show.  He will do whatever it takes…including stepping on people or sabotaging careers…the Unknown Assassin will be the FACE of HCW and NOT just the little Phoenix branch.  He tried to rattle on more but the camera cut off but audio was still going.  “What in the hell is going on?  What type of technology are you using?  Dell?”  Audio finally shut off silencing him…for now.

As we get ready for the next match, Otto Ruthless and Talon McFrost have already made their way down to the ring getting a so-so reaction from the crowd.  Next, the Steel Curtain come out with their manager the Ambassador and the fans boo the crap out of them.  Buzz and Starbuck flip off the crowd as they make their way down to the ring.  McFrost didn’t care for the comments made about him earlier and they actually took the match to the Steel Curtain much to the surprise of, well, everyone.  The Steel Curtain did get in quite a bit of double teaming action but so did their opponents.  About 9 minutes in, the Curtain pulled Talon out of the ring and hit him with a double powerbomb through the announce table.  While the ref was admonishing them, the Ambassador jumped into the ring and using a rope, he choked Otto out.  He escaped the ring just as the ref and Starbuck were returning.  Starbuck picked him up and hit a hangman DDT and then covered him for the win.  Starbuck and Buzz Steel get the win with an exclamation point for emphasis. (10 min)

“Top Gun” Justin Winger is backstage and he says that tonight is his night.  He will dominate like his earlier match and will prove to the world that he is the next big thing.

The next match gets ready to kick off and Elitism – Reid and Roderick Rothchild – make their way out to a decent pop from the crowd.  Next, Figgy Newton leads out the World Tag Team Champions Hoff n Spicy – Davis ‘the Hoff’ Hoffmeister and DJ CJ Spice out.  DJ gets on the mic and tells everyone he made a discovery and that is he figured out the full names of the Rothchild brothers.  He asks the fans if they want to hear it and they respond with a solid ‘YES’.  DJ then tells the fans to say hello to Reid Renfield Rothchild and Roderick Remington Rothchild.  The champs, Figgy and the fans all have a good chuckle.  Reid is in the ring and he’s just slapping his knee laughing.  He takes a mic.  “Ha Ha, oh that’s great.  What did you do?  Look us up on Linked In?  Did you do an Ancestry.com search on us or are you just trolling us on Twitter?  You two are regular Sherlock Holmes.  How about you get down here so we can show you what we’re made of?”  The champs and Figgy all head down and the match begins immediately.  The champs took control early and with Figgy’s influence, dominated the match.  About 12 minutes in, the Steel Curtain came out and went to sit at commentary.  That must have lit a fire under Elitism that they started taking it to the champs.  Figgy then got involved and distracted Roderick who began chasing him around the ring.  As Roderick was making his way around one side, Buzz and Starbuck leapt up and blindsided him beating him down.  They hit him with a double powerbomb on the outside of the ring and then rolled him back in.  The ref just got Reid out of the ring.  DJ ran over and made the cover hooking the leg and getting the 1…2…3.  Hoff n Spicy get the win.  The Steel Curtain immediately got in the ring and began having words with the champs.  The words quickly escalated into fisticuffs and a brawl was underway.  Reid (and eventually Roderick) all joined in the fray and security had to get in there and break things up.  The Steel Curtain were removed first followed by Elitism and finally the champs.  (16 min for the match; additional 10 for the aftermath)

Backstage, Master Bull said that things were escalating too quickly between Elitism and the Steel Curtain so he said that a match will take place between the two teams and the winner will get the next shot at the championships.

It’s finally time for the main event.  First, “Top Gun” Justin Winger comes out to a pop from the fans.  He walks by a female fan holding a sign (have we seen her before?) that reads “I’ll be your Wing man”.  He smiles at her and then gets into the ring.  Next, Leon Teremoto comes out and he too gets about an equal pop from the crowd.  The ref announces that this match will be a Lights Out match.  Winger started off like a rocket and only let Leon get ONE offensive move in.  Winger was showboating to the crowd and he didn’t see…what the heck…Figgy Newton making his way down to the ring.  He leaned over to Leon and told him something.  Leon got up and immediately distracted the ref.  Figgy then jumped into the ring and hit Winger with a baseball bat knocking him down.  He slid the bat over to Leon who blasted Winger once with it.  The ref began counting 1..2..3..4..5..6..7..8..9..10.  Justin Winger is counted down and out and the match and the Hardcore title are awarded to Leon Teremoto.  Leon celebrates with the title and the fans pop while Figgy walks up the ramp smirking.  The show came to an end.


Thanks for reading.  Tacoma Thunder will be up next.  Stay tuned.
