HCW Wrestling Newsletter 2017 #617 – Halloween Scream PPV


Hello fans and welcome back to another installment of our wrestling newsletter.  Tonight, HCW’s two brands Tacoma Thunder and Phoenix Heat are proud to bring you our PPV Halloween Scream live from Tacoma, WA.  The live show is sold out and those streaming it online are ordering it in record numbers.   As mentioned in our last two episodes, we will have two preshow matches with King Wilber taking on his estranged sibling TNT (formerly Turnip Townsend) and the Steel Curtain (Buzz and Starbuck Steel) taking on Outback Oscar and the Crocodile Hunter.  Even though all competitors are top notch, there was only so much room on the main card.

Preshow Match #1:  The Steel Curtain vs the Crocodile Hunter and Outback Oscar.  Since this was preshow, neither team got anything in the way of fanfare.  In fact, the arena was only about 60% full by the time this match began.    The Steel Curtain were not happy being relegated to opening act and they took out their frustrations on their opponents.  After what seemed like an eternity (SC purposely dragged the match out), the Ambassador got involved and tripped Croc at the ropes.  Starbuck made the cover and with a handful of tights AND his feet on the ropes, he scored the 1-2-3.  The Steel Curtain get the win.  After the match, they threw Croc and Oscar out of the ring and the fans booed them as the Ambassador stood tall by his team.  (25 min; 195 to 111)

Preshow Match #2:  King Wilber vs TNT.  Again, no fanfare which seemed to irritate Wilber more than it did TNT.  TNT immediately challenged his older sibling to a specialty match and Wilber accepted.  TNT said it would be a “brass knuckles” match.  A few times during the match, TNT got in some really good hits with the brass knucks but Wilber refused to stay down.  The action spilled to the outside of the ring where Wilber kissed the steel steps but that still wasn’t enough to put him out.  After reversing the Go To Sleep, TNT hit a brass knuckle thrust to the chest and Wilber went down to one knee.  He picked him up and nailed a standing suplex.  He stood over Wilber until the Hubers ran down and beat down their cousin.  They helped Wilber up who got them out of the ring and then hit TNT with a lifting sideslam.  Wilber made the laxidazy cover and got the 1-2-3.  King Wilber gets the win and picks up TNT to inflict more damage but TNT’s tag partners the Axe and Scooter J ran down to save him.  Scooter J and the Axe helped TNT to the back.  (20 min; TNT – 130, KW- 100)

After the commotion had ended, pyro goes off and our PPV is officially underway.  The arena is practically busting at the seams and they pop as the camera pans the audience.  They get even louder when GM’s Max McGillicutty and Master Bull come out to thank the fans for attending and promise a show that will be one for the ages.  Bull says that tonight brings an end to some feuds and others very well could continue.  Max wraps things up as pyro goes off once again and our show is officially underway.

Match #1:  The Super Duper Shock Master makes his way out first and he is, of course, booed.  He acts like he’s going to slug a few of the fans but he just keeps walking.  He gets in the ring and takes a mic.  In his modified voice, he addresses his opponent.  “Tonight, you will face your greatest fears and tonight, those fears will consume you.  Once you have lost and are out of HCW, the Super Duper Shock Master will reign supreme and there won’t be anything you can do about it.”  Music changes and out comes Texas Wildfire.  The fans pop is almost deafening.  He slaps the hands of all the fans as he makes his way to the ring (it took an extra minute because he literally slapped every fans’ hand at ringside).  He got in the ring and immediately got into the face of SDSM.  SDSM surprisingly backed off.  The ref reminded us that on the line will be Wildfire’s career vs SDSM’s mask.  Also in the spirit of our Halloween themed PPV, this match will carry a special stipulation – it will carry Lights Out rules.  The two immediately started to slug it out with TW falling after a low blow with a Singapore cane shot. He would eventually battle back breaking the same cane over SDSM’s helmet.  He followed it up with a DDT that didn’t do much damage.  TW then grabbed a chair and hit the leaping DDT onto the chair and then hooks the leg for the 1…2…3!  Texas Wildfire gets the win and immediately pulls the helmet off revealing a normal looking guy.  TW seems a bit perplexed.  He drops the helmet in confusion and leaves the ring.  He makes it up the ramp and turns to the fans who pop for him again.  Just as he turns around, he is attacked by the returning Super Shockmaster.  SS beats TW down and then hits TW with a couple of power headbutts busting TW up.  SS stands over TW and laughs that mechanical laugh before walking off.

Manager J C Dykes is backstage with the US Champion the Unknown Assassin.  Dykes tells the wrestling world that his man will breeze through tonight’s match dulling the Axe and setting his sights on the next title he wants.  Dykes threatens that if UA gets his way, then the world will get to experience the AWESOMENESS that is the Unknown Assassin.

We head back to the ring for our next match.  From the ceiling, the Hell in the Cell structure is lowered (but still high enough for the competitors to enter the ring) and we’re ready for our next match.  First, music hits and out comes Brick.  The reaction he gets isn’t as bad as it’s been and a good portion of the fans actually like him.   Brick enters the hellacious structure.  Next, Scooter J comes out and he makes a beeline for the ring.  Scooter J slides under the cage just as it touches down and he and Brick start beating the tar out of each other.  Brick hits a spinebuster but SJ slams Brick’s head into the steps.  Scooter J lays in with 10 punches and then goes for a quick pin but only gets a 2 count.  Scooter J eye rakes Brick and then goes to execute a Hell move but Brick reverses it trying for a spinebuster but SJ reverses it again hitting a bodyslam.  He goes for the cover again but again, only a 2 count.  Brick hits a low blow and a piledriver.  He goes for the pin but SJ kicks out at 2.  SJ gets tossed over the top rope but he hung on.  Brick hits the ropes and connects with a Fly through the ropes and into the cage spear type of move.  SJ crumples.  Brick throws the limp form of SJ back into the ring and rolls him up and got the 1-2-3.  Brick gets the win and the fans actually pop for him.  Brick leaves the ring and Scooter J had to be helped to the back.  (6 min)

Dr Red Fang is backstage and he seems to be looking for the IT guy @jowsterguy.  He doesn’t see him but turns to the camera and starts to comment.

        “Thankfully we don't have to rely on @jowsterguy to provide the entertainment around here.”
        (In a mocking voice) “@jowsterguy: work faster! Programming isn't that hard.”

And Finally…

        “What kind of pencil neck geek would ask a question like that? @jowersterguy of course.”

Out of nowhere, our IT guy rushes in attacking Fang but Fang throws him against the wall and then hits him with a Vampire Lunge.  He then hits a Transylvania piledriver and went to inflict more damage but security rushed in and prevents further damage.  Fang is escorted away screaming “VAMPIRE LUNGES FOR EVERYONE!” 

It’s time for our next match.  First, one third of the 6 man champs The Axe comes out to a pop from the crowd.  He makes his way down but as soon as he gets in the ring, his music is cut off. Next, manager J C Dykes comes out and introduces the US Champion the Unknown Assassin. The fans boo and Dykes stands there impatiently tapping his foot and he yells “anytime now” and finally security comes out and lines the walkway down to the ring.  Dykes and the champ make their way down to the ring as security holds the irate fans back.  Early on, the Axe locked in a bearhug but Dykes came to his rescue.  Dykes would stick his nose into the match to give the champ an advantage but Axe would just battle back.  Towards the end of the match, Axe hits UA with a backbreaker but Dykes rushes in and throws a fireball into the Axe’s face blinding him but it resulted in a disqualification.  The Axe wins the match but unfortunately not the title.  UA and Dykes leave the ring with the title.  The Axe leaves shortly thereafter.  (17 min)

Manager the Ambassador is backstage and he tells the world that he has taken on a new team to manage and introduces Elitism.  He says Reid and Rothchild will be the next champs and the team of the future.

We go back to the ring for the next match.  The Ambassador comes out and leads Elitism – Reid and Roderick Rothchild down to the ring to a mixed reaction from the crowd.  We’re not sure why Reid and Roderick aligned themselves with him but maybe we’ll find out soon.  Next, Figgy Newton comes out and introduces the World Tag Team Champions Hoff n Spicy – Davis Hoffmeister & DJ CJ Spice.  The champs control the match and just as Reid and Roderick started to make a comeback, the Steel Curtain – Buzz and Starbuck Steel – make their way out and confront the Ambassador.  They totally ignore the match taking place and just start questioning what the hell their manager is up to.  DJ took advantage of the distraction and hit Reid with a bulldog.  DJ made the cover and got the 1-2-3.  Hoff n Spicy retain the titles.  They, along with their manager Figgy Newton, then left to a pop from the crowd.  The Steel Curtain, the Ambassador and Elitism were all in the ring yelling at each other and the Steel Curtain stormed off.  Elitism and the Ambassador then followed.  (12 min)

Figgy Newton makes his way back into the interview area and he says that Hoff N Spicy retained and coming up next, Taylor Bella will retain…hands down.  He claps his hands and rubs them together and head off camera.

It’s time for our Fatal Four for the Ladies title.  First, Madame Jade makes her way out to a pop from the crowd.  Next, the Duchess makes her way out and she is booed.  Third, Starr Vixen makes her way out to a pop.  Finally, Figgy Newton comes out and introduces the Ladies Champion Taylor Bella.  Taylor comes out and she is booed but she doesn’t care.  She and Figgy make their way to the ring.  Throughout the entire match, Starr Vixen was the shinning…err… star during the entire match.  She took the fight to everyone in the ring and on numerous occasions, came close to getting the 3 count but every competitor in this match would not let the others get the win.  The match closed in on the 30 minute mark, all four women got into the ring and just began slugging it out.  The Duchess hits a Lou Thesz Press on the Star while Madame Jade hits the champ with the Jade Breaker and locked it in but before Taylor could tap out, the bell rang bringing this one to a time limit draw.  Figgy immediately pulled Taylor out of the ring and handed her the title and helped her to the back.   Starr left disappointed leaving the Duchess and Madame Jade alone in the ring.  The Duchess began poking Jade with her finger calling her a glory hound and that the Duchess should be the face of HCW in Tacoma and Jade ruined that.  The Duchess then slapped Jade across the face but Jade locked in the Jade Breaker and trapped her right in the middle of the ring.  The Duchess was slapping the mat signaling she was tapping out but it didn’t matter as the match was over.  Madame Jade finally let go and left to a pop from the fans.  The Duchess, embarrassed, was able to leave under her own power.  (30 min for the match; 5 for the additional segment)

There seems to be a few things going on backstage.  First, Figgy Newton was running around gloating about his teams retaining their belts but then ‘Top Gun’ Justin Winger showed up and Figgy bolted out of the building.

Next, Drew the Canadian Love Machine was backstage cutting a promo.  “What does being the World Champion mean to me?  It means being the best in the World; it means being the face of the organization; it means everyone is gunning for you.  Sonic, tonight the best man is going to walk out of that ring and will walk out with the championship.  I’ve waited long enough and tonight, I will wear gold once again.  Then, you’ll see why you don’t mess with this dog.”

Elsewhere backstage, World Champion Sonic Blade is cutting his own promo.  “Are you ready to see Sonnnnnnnnic Blaaaaaaade?  You are going to be Thunderstruck; tasting the mat. Drew, I know you’re going to enjoy your time there.  Be prepared to feel the disappointment that accompanies losing.”

It’s time for our Main Event.  First, Drew the Canadian Love Machine comes out and the fans’ pop is the loudest it’s been all night.  He slaps the hands of the fans as he makes his way to the ring and proceeds to climb each corners’ turnbuckles to louder and louder pops (not sure how that is possible but it kept happening).  He removes his jacket as the music changes and out comes the World Champion Sonic Blade.  Sonic wastes no time and heads to the ring sliding under the bottom rope.  He removes the title and holds it high showing it off to the fans on each side of the ring.  Once done, he hands the title to the ref and meets Drew in the center of the ring.  Some jawjacking occurs but just before the bell rings, GM Max McGillicutty comes out and announces that, as the crown jewel of the night, this match will have a special stipulation and that will be…our second HELL IN A CELL match and the cage lowers from the ceiling and then encompasses the ring.  The bell then rings starting this one off.
