HCW Wrestling Newsletter 2017 #628 – Tacoma Thunder


Hello fans and welcome back to the latest installment of HCW’s Tacoma Thunder.  We have a great card lined up for  you tonight with a main event headlined by El Chango taking on Phat Sol with the winner getting a shot at the TV champion the Unknown Assassin at the PPV.  GM Max McGillicutty comes out to a pop from the crowd.  He tells us that 50% of the matches for this month’s PPV Apocalypse have been announced and 3 more matches will be revealed tonight.  He thanks the fans for coming and leaves the stage as pyro goes off getting this show underway.

The first match kicks off with ‘Bad News’ Marvin Barnes coming out to booing from the crowd.  He threatened to hit a few fans on his way to the ring.  Next, his opponent Brick comes out to a pop from the crowd.  The match progressed slowly as Brick was wrestling his way through the match.   About 12 minutes into the match, Brick went to the top rope but Marvin grabbed the ropes (presumably to help himself up but in fact was putting Brick off balance) and Brick fell off the turnbuckle to the floor.  Brick looked like he got hurt and was taking his time trying to walk it off and he ended up getting counted out.  Barnes left the ring after getting his arm raised.  All of a sudden, Scooter J, Otto Ruthless and King Wilber Townsend all hit the ring and beat down Brick.  The Axe and TNT run down for the save and chase SJ and his buddies off.  Axe takes a mic and tells them that he is officially accepting their challenge for the PPV and says they’ll meet at the PPV.  Axe helps Brick up and the three of them leave the ring to a pop from the crowd.  (12 ½ min)

Backstage, Ice Dagger purposely bumps into ‘Red Hot’ Lucas Johnston and he (pointing to his imaginary friend) says “He doesn’t like you.”  Lucas says “Ok” (seeing where this was going).  ID gets into Lucas’ face “I don’t like you either.  You better watch yourself.  I’m the biggest man on this campus”.  Lucas makes a goofy face and says “Ohhh, I guess I’d better be careful.”  He began to chuckle.  ID screams “You’ll be DEAD!” and then attacks Lucas beating him down.    The fight is broken up by security and Lucas challenges ID to a match at the PPV and he accepts.

We head back to the ring and Bishop Ripley makes his way down to the ring and doesn’t get the best of reactions from the crowd.  Next, ‘Top Gun’ Justin Winger comes out to a huge pop from the crowd.  He gets in the ring and the two begin battling almost immediately.  6 minutes in, Winger hits Bishop with a steamroller but Ripley hurls Winger out of the ring.  Top Gun dusts himself off and starts to get back in the ring but he is attacked once again by Figgy Newton who drops him with multiple chair shots.  Bishop distracted the ref long enough until Figgy was done and then Newton took off through the crowd.  The ref turned around and saw Winger down and out on the outside of the ring.  He made the count and reached 10 and counted Winger out awarding the match to Bishop Ripley.  Winger finally made it to his feet and he was pissed.  He slowly made his way to the back.

Axe is backstage with his tag team partner TNT and says they are ready to stand by Brick and take on Scooter J and his buddies but they know Scooter J and how he thinks so they’ll be ready.

We’re ready for the next match.  First, the Smashers come down first and are booed by the crowd.  Next, Ovaltine Jackson & Ghee Buttersnaps come out to a pop from the crowd.  Once in the ring, the Smashers attack Ovaltine and Ghee but they fought back taking the match to the Smashers.   The Smashers controlled the entire match but they couldn’t get a pin at all.  Ovaltine and Ghee broke up all of the pin attempts and were saved once the bell rang bringing this one to a time limit draw.  The Smashers weren’t happy and stormed off as Ghee and Ovaltine celebrated with the fans (20 min draw)

GM Max McGillicutty is in his office and Figgy Newton enters.  Max tells Figgy that he was caught in the act of attacking Top Gun Justin Winger and threatens to suspend him leaving his charges high and dry.  Figgy begins to plead “Not that…I’ll do anything”.  Max questioned “Anything?”  “Yes, anything” Figgy responded.  Into the room walks Winger as Max makes the match Top Gun vs Figgy Newton much to Winger’s delight.  Figgy goes white as a ghost and walks off with his head held low.

As the next match is ready to begin, the Ryzing Storm (Terra and Travis) make their way out.  Next, the Axe and TNT make their way out to a pop from the crowd.  Axe and TNT enjoyed a good solid offensive run until Scooter J, King Wilber and Otto Ruthless came out causing a distraction.  After the ref took a bump, Scooter J and his cronies hit the ring beating both TNT and Axe down with chairs.  Brick ran out to make the save chasing everyone off.  However the damage was done and just as the ref was waking back up, Terra Ryzing hits TNT with a facebreaker knee smash.  He hooks the leg getting the 1-2-3.  The Ryzing Storm gets a win and Axe is pissed off.  He helps TNT to his feet and they head to the back.  (19 min)

Phat Sol is backstage and he says that tonight, he takes on a great competitor in El Chango but it will be he who has his arm raised and he can finally get that rematch for the TV title he’s been waiting for.

We go back to the ring as the next match kicks off.  First, the Duchess comes out to a mixed reaction from the crowd however, it seems that she’s receiving more respect from the fans.  Next, Lexy Flexx comes out and she is booed.  She enters the ring and immediately goes after the Duchess.  Lexy then bumps the ref causing him to go down.  Next, we see Southern Belle run out and she hits the Duchess in the leg with a steel pipe.  She then rushes off as the ref begins to stir.  Lexy then locks the Duchess in the Four Leg Clover Leglock and the Duchess does the wise thing and taps out to avoid further injury to her leg.  Lexy parades around and then leaves.  (3 min)  A couple of refs come from the back and help the Duchess to the back.  As soon as she passes through the curtains, she sees a camera man and looks directly at the camera and tells Belle that she’s woken a sleeping giant and this giant will get her retribution.

It’s time for our main event.  First, El Chango comes out to a pop from the crowd.  Next, the music changes and Phat Sol makes his way out also to a pop from the crowd.  El Chango and Phat hit some high impact moves on each other and the fans stayed on the edges of their seats for the entire match.  Phat came close to a pin after hitting the Phat’s Enough but El Chango kicked out with authority. As the time was running out, El Chango hits a spear but is not able to make the cover before the bell rang bringing this one to a draw finish.  All of a sudden, the lights go out and when they come back on, the Unknown Assassin is in the ring with a chair and both Phat and El Chango are down.  UA’s manager J C Dykes was on the outside of the ring gloating about the attack but then GM Max McGillicutty comes out.  He tells Dykes and UA that this match was supposed to see who would face the Unknown Assassin for the US title but since the match ended in a draw, he’s at an impasse but thinks he has the solution and Dykes and UA’s actions just now have helped.  Max announces that at the PPV, the Unknown Assassin will defend the US title against…El Chango…AND Phat Sol.  Dykes is irate and begins screaming from the ring.  El Chango and Phat then team up and beat down on UA before he bails out of the ring.  Phat and El Chango stand tall in the ring; Max on the stage and Dykes and Unknown Assassin caught between the two as the show comes to an end.


Stay tuned as things are getting volatile.
