HCW Wrestling Newsletter 2018 #644 – Phoenix Heat


Hello fans and welcome to another installment of HCW’s Phoenix Heat.  The show kicks off with GM Master Bull making his way out to a pop form the crowd.   Bull kicks off the show saying that Tacoma’s GM Max McGillicutty did beat him to the punch with his announcements but says that he has a doozy that should garnish a pop from this enthusiastic crowd.  Bull announces King Wilber Townsend (IF he still has his crown) vs Sonic Blade will take place again but it will be after both the PPV and the super show.  The stipulation will be one never seen before in HCW or the old HWF/CSWA organizations.  It will be a 60 minute iron man match but a major stipulation will be that neither man can go for a pin or submission for the first 45 minutes. 

Bull also announces that Phoenix will host the first EVER Elimination Chamber!  The crowd pops huge.  “Now, here is what we know and don’t know.  What we know:  The Elimination Chamber will make its first appearance at a Phoenix Show.  The entire show will be Elimination Chamber style matches but this will NOT be a super show or a PPV…yet.  The concept of the Elimination Chamber will only be allowed to be used twice in a given calendar year AND it will be, for that first year, an exclusive concept for Phoenix Heat!”  The crowd pops huge at this announcement.  “There will be lots of logistics to work through but knowing the types of fans we have here in Phoenix, this is something WE deserve.”  The crowd pops again.  “Finally, your show tonight will be capped with US Champion the Crocodile Hunter defending his title.  Now, without all that out of the way, let’s get YOUR show moving.”  Bull leaves the stage as pyro goes off. 

Tonight’s show looks like this:

To kick things off, 1/3 of the 6 Man Champions Biceps Bannerman makes his way down to the ring to a pop from the crowd.  Next, manager J C Dykes comes out and the booing ensues.  It gets worse as the Unknown Assassin makes his way to the stage and even worse as security comes out to line the ramp to “protect” him from flying debris.  Security doesn’t seem to do that good of a job as the fans have gotten good at lobbing stuff over their heads.  A soda hits Dykes in the back and he threatens to sue but has no idea who threw it.  The fans in the area the soda came from all collectively put their hands up with the “Who me?” looks on their faces.  It was pretty funny actually (for everyone except UA and Dykes that is).  A very determined Unknown Assassin gets in the ring and goes right after Bannerman.  And man, Biceps was not ready for the onslaught that came from his opponent or the distractions caused by Dykes.  The ass whipping that ensued (112 to 40) came to a merciful conclusion after UA locked in a standing crossface and then turned it into a pin giving him the win.  Unknown Assassin gets the win and he and Dykes leave.  Dykes would turn around every few seconds to flip off the fans.  As they get to the top of the ramp, they turn around one last time to flip off the fans but then turn around only to run into Crow Phat.  UA immediately attacks him beating him down only for a second Crow Phat to show up.  Dykes yells “What the hell is this?” and UA beats this one down only to be replaced by another…and another…and another.  After what seemed like an eternity (but in reality was about 2 minutes), a light shined up in the rafters and there was, we presume, the real Crow Phat Sol.  Phat points the finger at UA and Dykes and then the light goes off.  Dykes and UA take off leaving the bodies of the phake phat sols behind.  (13 min for the match; 5 for the additional segment)

The Banker is backstage with his manager Ruth Heartless and he says that Winger is “past due” and that all future title shots at any title will be subsequently “denied” and why you may ask… “Is because the Banker Said So!”  This of course elicited a collective groan from the audience and I’m sure also from everyone watching on TV.

We’re ready for our next match.  Jazz Emmett makes her way out to a mixed reaction from the crowd.  Next, all-to-familiar music hits and out comes Ravishing Raquel.  The crowd pops HUGE.  She is all business tonight and wastes no time making her way down the ring.  However, she is attacked by Ladies Champion Taylor Bella who, with Figaroa Newton yelling “Beat her up…beat her up good” well, beat her up pretty good.  Taylor then rolled Raquel into the ring and the bell sounds almost immediately and this one is off to the races.  Taylor and Figgy went to sit at commentary.  Raquel was at a severe disadvantage throughout the match but kept on persevering.  Just when it looked like Raquel was going to turn things around, Taylor got up and “accidentally” tripped Raquel causing her to fall face first to the mat.  Jazz then hit a divinig double knee drop and with a hook of the tights, got the 1-2-3.  Jazz Emmett steals a win.  She leaves and Taylor enters the ring. She then picked Raquel up and slapped her across the face a couple of times.  That right there woke a sleeping giant.  Raquel immediately started blasting the champ with lefts and rights then then threw her to the ropes and knocked her silly with a flying dropkick.  Before she could do anything else, Figgy pulled Taylor out of the ring and they immediately made a beeline for the back. Raquel asked for a mic.  “Taylor…you want to interfere in my matches and prevent me from dominating the sport again…fine.  You want sneak attack me because you think that is the only way you’re going to get ANY advantage over me…fine.  What you will NOT do however is beat me when we meet next week for that title.  I promise in front of this ENTIRE crowd that I will defeat you.”  The fans popped huge.  “Not only will I beat you, I WILL make you tap out and then the world will so who the best in the world really is.”  Figgy and Taylor brushed off the threat and went to the back.  Raquel celebrated with the fans for a moment before following suit.  (12 min)

Making their way to Master Bull’s office is J C Dykes and the Unknown Assassin.  They tried to barge in but Bull quickly cut them off saying “I don’t have time for you right now so (he walks toward them making them backtrack to the door) I suggest you come back at a later time.”  He then closes the door in their faces and to prevent any further interruptions, we hear an audible ‘click’ as the door is locked from the other side.  UA and Dykes storm off.

Before our next match can begin, we wanted to offer a little recap.  During Leon Teremoto’s defense of the Hardcore title (and subsequent loss to Ferb Huber), not only did the Huber Clan get involved in the match but so did every member of the Snake Pit (Leiton, Niven & Tobias Snake).  Even though this transpired on Tacoma’s ground, Bull immediately agreed to allow this match to happen in his back yard.  First, the Huber Clan (Junior, Butch and the HC champion Ferb Huber) came out to booing from the crowd (most likely voicing their displeasure at how Leon lost the title).  The Snake Pit comes out and after doing their fist bump on the stage, they head to the ring.  The Hubers wasted no time and attacked the Pit.  This match is a no count out, no DQ match to give both teams the chance to try and settle this in the ring.  After about a minute, the Pit began their domination totally destroyed the Huber clan (215 to 111).  After dominating the match, Tobias comes in and hits Butch with the Dirty Deeds DDT but lets him up and then hits a running crossbody to get the cover and the 3 count.  The Snake Pit get the win in 19 min.  That however didn’t end the fight as all 6 men continued to battle and fought all the way to the back.

Perfect Pecs Stoddard is backstage and he says that tonight, what Ferb Huber started, he will continue and that is to unseat a champion and take the belt as your own.  Tonight, he gets the Crocodile Hunter and promises to send him back to the backwoods in Australia where he came from.

Next, Terra Ryzing bullies his way out and gets on the mic and calls out Jesse California to challenge him for his spot in the top 10 lineup.  He paces as he waits for Jesse to come out.  Eventually he does and gets a small pop as he heads down to the ring.  Terra can’t seem to wait so he rushes out too meet his opponent and the two begin fighting their way to the ring.  The two men battled for an entire 20 minutes with no resolution.  When the bell rang signaling the end of the match, it is declared a draw and Jesse retains his spot.  Terra, still a little left in the tank, charges at Jesse who ducks and pulls the top rope down allowing Terra to go flying over the top and crashing to the floor.  Terra gets up and realizes the futility and makes his way to the back.  Jesse follows shortly thereafter.  (20 min draw)

The US Champion the Crocodile Hunter is backstage and cuts a promo saying that he’ll defeat the man with the enormous pecs and will hold his title high as he is declared the winner and still champion.

For the next match, Ruth Heartless comes out first and introduces, with briefcase in hand, the Banker.  The two are showered with booing from the crowd and they ignore it as they make their way down to the ring.  For this match, the Banker is challenging ‘Rowdy’ Roderick Rothchild for his spot in the lineup.  The Ambassador comes out and is followed by Roderick who gets a nice pop from the fans.  He makes his way down and then stands in his corner waiting for the bell to ring.  Before the match could begin, Ruth distracted the ref and the Banker used his briefcase as a weapon and hit Roderick in the head.  He then disposed of the weapon and went on the offensive as the bell rang.  The Banker started to go to town but with advice from the Ambassador, Roderick began an offensive run.  The run came to an end after both the Banker and Roderick were on the outside of the ring.  The Banker introduced Roderick’s arm to the steel post not once, not twice but three times.  After that, the limb was practically useless.   Once back in the ring, Roderick tried for the Rothchild Stunner but failed.  The Banker locked in the ATM fee armbar and Roderick had no choice but to tap out.  The Banker gets the win via submission and moves up in the rankings.  Ruth Heartless entered the ring with the Banker’s briefcase.  She opens it up and he removes his stamp.  He makes a show about getting ready to stamp the word “Denied” on Roderick’s forehead but a commotion caused him to stop.  He looks up to see “Top Gun” Justin Winger rushing down.  The Banker tries to stamp Roderick but the Ambassador pulled him out of the ring just as Winger was hitting the ring.  Winger and the Banker battled back and forth and both men had to be restrained by security.  The Banker lunged at Winger and managed to partially tag him with the “DE” in Denied.  He and Ruth left and security made sure he didn’t return to the ring.  Winger was pissed and can’t wait to get his hands on the Banker.  GM Master Bull came out and said that he’s sending both the Banker and Winger home (even though Winger wasn’t scheduled for this show) and said that he will make a major announcement next week involving the 2.

J C Dykes finally tracks down someone to interview him and it’s none other than Clarkus Kentus.  Dykes tells him not to utter a word and just stand there holding the mic.  Before Dykes can even get a word in, the camera shuts off (presumably on orders from Master Bull and the camera man and Clarkus walk off.  Dykes is not a happy camper.

It’s time for our main event.  First, Perfect Pecs Stoddard comes out to booing from the fans.  Stoddard stops at a fan who is holding a “Croc Rules” sign and he viciously takes it away and tears it to shreds.  He continues to the ring.  Next, music changes and out comes the US Champion the Crocodile Hunter.  Croc makes his way down to the ring and stops by the fan who had his sign torn up.  Croc hands him some…crocs … and then heads to the ring.  He gets in and holds the title high.  As soon as the match began, Croc began handing Pecs an ass whupping.  This went on for about 5 minutes until Pecs hit a low blow and then dropped him with a Celtic kick for a near 2 count.  Pecs continued to dominate until Croc hit him with a dropkick that took out Pec’s leg.  Stoddard tried to stand but fell to his knees.  Croc swooped in and applied an Ankle lock.  Croc had it cinched in and Pecs couldn’t reach the ropes so he tapped out.  Croc lets go and is declared the winner of the match and Still the US Champion.  Croc climbed all 4 turnbuckles and held his title high as the show comes to an end.

That’s all for this episode.  Here is a preview of our upcoming Tacoma show.

Leon Teremoto (Champion)
VS.
Ferb Huber



GM Max McGillicutty comes out to start off the show to a loud pop from the crowd.  Max tells us that he has breaking news that he’s actually beating Phoenix’s GM Master Bull to and that is that the Reigning Royalty PPV that will be on February 11th will actually be taking place in Phoenix, AZ.   To stack on top of that, a couple of weeks later, they will be hosting a supershow and that will be coming to you from Tacoma, WA.   Before we get to those shows, we have our lead up shows and it’s very possible that what transpires at these shows could affect those…we’ll just have to wait and see.  Tonight we have a great line up headlined by Hardcore champion Leon Teremoto taking on one member of the Huber Clan…cousin Ferb.  For now, the show needs to get underway.  Max leaves as pyro goes off and our first match is ready to begin.

Over the loudspeakers we hear “I’ve got some bad news for ya” and out comes ‘Bad News’ Marvin Barnes.  It’s pretty apparent that the fans don’t like him and they voice their displeasure. Barnes is challenging this man for his spot in the World title line up and out comes Brick.  The fans pop for him just because.  He gets into the ring and is immediately attacked by Barnes.  The two surprisingly stayed pretty even for about 10 minutes until Barnes pulled Brick out of the ring and smashed him into the ringside steps.  After that, Brick struggled to keep up with Barnes.  A couple of minutes later, Barnes connected with the Bad News but somehow Brick kicked out and that just infuriated Barnes.  He then beat Brick down and once he was satisfied he’d tenderized Brick enough, he hit the Bad News again and this time he got the 1-2-3.  Barnes gets the win and moves up in the ranFMkings while Brick moves down.  (16 min)

Backstage, Davis “the Hoff” Hoffmeister addressed his turncoat of an ex-manager.  “Figgy, I will deal with you and that phony Mustang Sammy all in good time but for now, I get to take on the resident joke of a vampire Dr. Red Fang.  Fang, listen up.  You may think that with that goofball of a manager you have in your corner you may have the upper hand but I am a former Hardcore Champ, former Tag Team Champ as well as World Champ.  I’ll vampire lunge your @$$ smack dab in the heart of your ramshackle coffin.   Once I finish with you, Sammy and Figgy…YOU’RE NEXT!”

Our next match is another challenge for a spot in the top 10 lineup.  The giant Superquake Ferguson comes out and for this match, he is challenging 1/3rd of the 6 Man champs Buzz Steel for his spot.  Ferguson was left off the top 10 placements so he’s going right after Buzz’s spot in the TV title line up.  Buzz Steel comes out next to a huge pop from the crowd.  He makes a beeline for the ring and goes face to…um…chest with the Giant.  Buzz looks up to see Superquake towering over him.  The bell rings and this one gets going.  Buzz went toe to toe with the giant and surprised everyone including Ferguson himself.  He began getting frustrated and then hurled Buzz out of the ring.  He followed him out nailing Buzz with a Superquake of a slam on the floor.  Ferguson rolled back in just before the count of 10 and Buzz got counted out.  With the count out win, Ferguson takes Buzz’s spot in the TV title line up.  I’m sure Buzz will not be done with him. (9 ½ min win for Superquake)

Scooter J is backstage and he complains that he’s not on the card today but that lummox Axe is.  He says he can’t understand out an out of work lumberjack can make in professional wrestling but thinks that Axe’s time here will be numbered if he has anything to say about it.

It’s time for the next match and this one has Superstar Chic Monroe (who’s in the top 10 for the US title) challenges the Axe for his spot in the World title line up.  If Monroe wins the match, the two will trade spots but if Axe can pull out a win, he’ll hold his coveted spot.  Monroe comes out first as the fans boo him.  Next, the Axe comes out and gets a pretty big pop from the crowd.  He high-fives with the fans but when he gets into the ring, he becomes all business.  For the first 3 minutes, both men were pretty even.  Monroe then hits the Axe with a bicycle kick and Axe retaliated with ‘the Axe’ that nearly took Monroe’s head off.  Axe made the cover and got the easy 3 count.  Axe gets the win in 4 minutes and showed why he’s in line for a shot at the World title.  This of course didn’t sit well with Scooter J who ran down and tried to attack Axe but Axe dispatched his former tag partner with easy.   Axe tried to get SJ to come back into the ring and even held the ropes open but Scooter J shook his head and then backed up the ramp and went to the back.  Axe eventually left to a pop from the crowd.

Another person dissatisfied that she wasn’t on the card today is Candice Carpenter.  Candice couldn’t believe she was continuously being looked over (she’s actually had her fair share of matches).  She then proceeds to challenge the Duchess to a match.  “You think you’re so special…you’re not.  I am.  And since I’m confident that I will beat you so bad, I need the freedom to do what I need to so I want this to be a no disqualification match between us.  If you have the guts, you’ll accept and take what’s coming to you.  If not, you’ll show everyone the coward I know you to be.”  I guess we’ll get a response from the Duchess in a week.

Our next match shifts genders and now we have a ladies challenge match.  First, Madame Jade comes out to a pop from the crowd.  She makes her way to the ring.   She calls out Lady Hermann, the Duchess’ right hand woman challenging her for her spot in the Ladies top 10 lineup.  Lady Hermann comes out and powerwalks to the ring to booing from the crowd.  She gets into the ring and begins sizing up Jade before opening a can of whoop ass.  The can though must have lost its pop as after the first minute of the match, Jade matched her move for move and ended drawing this one out to its 20 minute conclusion with the bell ringing bringing this one to a draw finish.  By the time the bell rang, Lady Hermann was getting beat pretty bad by Jade and once her salvation came at the sound of the bell, she wasted no time in taking off and getting the hell out of there.  Madame Jade stood tall to a pop from the fans and left shortly thereafter.  Both women retain their respective spots in the lineup.  (20 min draw)

Dr. Red Fang and his manager Ant Graham are backstage.  Graham begins to go off on how great his Ghouls (Fang, Mason the Mangler and Wolfman Keg) are and once they get their shot at the 6 Man Tag Team Championships, they will rule the roost.  Fang interrupts with some snarling and growling.  Graham takes a step back so that Fang can do his thing but this time, it’s with a twist.  “Vampire Lunges…for the Hoff!” rolls off his tongue with disdain.  The two then walk off camera.

Also backstage is the Huber Clan.  Ferb, Butch and Junior Huber say that they collectively, are going to destroy Hardcore Champion Leon Teremoto.  Ferb says he gets first shot tonight but if Leon screws him over, Butch and Junior will get their shots at him too.  They are then interrupted by the Snake Pit (Leiton, Niven and Tobias Snake) who say it will actually be one of them who will take the title from Leon.  The 6 then get into a shoving match and it had to be broken up by a gaggle of staffers.

Next, our match with no real implications begins with the loudspeakers blaring “VAMPIRE LUNGES FOR EVERYONE” and out comes Dr. Red Fang and his manager Ant Graham.  The two walk down to the ring amidst booing from the fans but Graham does his best to flip each and every one of them off as the get into the ring.  Fang snarls and growls and then get even angrier when the music changes and out comes Davis “the Hoff” Hoffmeister.  Hoff gets a pop that had to be the loudest of the night.  He purposely took his time getting to the ring to further irritate Fang.  He got into the ring and wasted no time kicking this one off.  Davis easily owned the first 7 minutes of the match limited Fang to 3 offensive moves and even one of those was help from Ant Graham.  Graham got in a few extra shots and that helped Fang out some.  Eventually Fang began to close the gap.  After taking the match to the outside and hitting Fang with a flying dropkick that sent him into the crowd, Hoff thought things were going his way.  Graham immediately distracted the ref to give Fang a chance to recover.  Sneaking up though was Mustang Sammy who was hiding in the crowd and he attacked Davis slamming his back against the steel post.  Davis would fight back and hurl Sammy back to where he came from.  He entered the ring just as the ref turned around.  Fang was almost back in the ring and as the ref began counting, Ant used his cane and smashed Davis over the head with it.  Davis dropped.  Fang crawled back in and made the cover (hooking the tights for good measure) and got the 1-2-3.  Davis had another match stolen!  Fang and Graham didn’t bother to stick around and left right away.  Figgy Newton (err, I mean Figaroa) helped Mustang Sammy out and he got back in the ring.  He then locked Davis in a version of the Handlebar (camel clutch) and wouldn’t relent.  Finally, those staffers who broke up the Huber/Snake Pit confrontation backstage made their way out and got Sammy off of Davis.  Before leaving, Figgy bent down and slapped Davis across the face leaving with a big ol’ smirk on his face.  Davis began to stir and his eyes glared daggers at his soon-to-be opponent.   Davis was able to leave mostly on his own accord.  The fans popped for him.  (15 min)

Backstage, Hardcore Champion Leon Teremoto is being interviewed.  He says that in a way, he’s honored that so many people are clamoring for what he has however, he says he has no plans on losing this title at any time so he welcomes each and every challenge and promises to send each and every one of the home empty handed.

It’s time for our Main Event.  First, the challenger Ferb Huber comes out and is booed.  Next, the Hardcore champion Leon Teremoto comes out and the fans pop for him.  He makes his way to the ring and the referee announces this will be a Street Fight Rules for the title.  Ferb actually overwhelmed the champ due to his brothers Butch and Junior coming out to join in the fracas.  Things even got more complicated with the Snake Pit came out and began fighting with the Hubers and even took their shots at the champ.  This turned into a major cluster**** and after Ferb wrapped a microphone cord around Leon’s neck chocking him out, the ref raised the arm (and it fell) once, twice, three times.  (11 min) The ref calls the match and “HOLD IT RIGHT THERE” blares and out walks GM Max McGillicutty.  “Before you award anything, first, I want to say that Leon was really at a disadvantage as this was not one on one but more like 6 on one.  Now, granted, the Hardcore Champ has to be tough but come on, this is a little ridiculous.  I want to amend the match now and actually makes this a best of 3 falls match and now Ferb has to score another fall within the next 19 minutes in order to become the champion.  If he does not and this goes beyond, Leon will remain champion.  The ref restarts the match and says this one is now “ECW rules”.  Leon must have some great recovery qualities as he looked almost as fresh as when he walked out here originally.  Although Ferb was giving it his all, Leon was that much better and at 6 minutes in, he used a golf club and nailed Ferb in the gonads with it and then locked Ferb in Gorilla Hug and Ferb actually tapped out!  Leon scores the second fall via submission.  Now the two have one win over each other and this third fall decides it all.  The ref announces that we are now using Ladder match rules.  For the third fall, Leon was tearing it up smashing Ferb with the ladder every chance he had.  5 minutes in, Ferb climbed to the top of the ladder and hit a flying elbow drop from the top rung. “HOLY SH*T” chants rang throughout.  Ferb made the cover getting a 3 count and then began to climb the ladder but at the last possible second, Leon stopped him.  Leon then began beating the snot out of Ferb but he couldn’t get a pin.  Finally, 8 minutes rolled by and Ferb used a different ladder to trap Leon in the corner.  He then mockingly made his way up the ladder drawing it out.  Finally, he grabbed the title hanging above the ring and is declared the NEW HARDCORE CHAMPION!  The fans were aghast.  They could not believe it.  Ferb takes the title and is joined by his clan and they celebrate on the stage as the show comes to an end.

That’s all for this episode.  Here is a preview of our upcoming Phoenix show.

HCW Wrestling Newsletter 2018 #642 – Phoenix Heat


Hello fans and welcome back to the next episode of Phoenix Heat.  GM Master Bull has got a few tricks up his sleeve with some special stipulations for our matches today that have not previously been released. He’s going to hold those close to the vest until the respective match times.  As a recap, here is today’s lineup:

Before the matches could start, a promo from King Wilber was aired.

“A man who is not willing to die for something is not fit to live. Where I come from, being a traitor is a sin of the highest order, man. You did not expose me like you think, Sonic; you only exposed yourself (hahahhaha). For only a coward would use his free wings to fly right back into the cage where he came from. These people, these animals, oh how they rewarded you. They cheered for you, Sonic, as you stamped me out, as you battered me, man. Traitor. They're sheep. They only look up to you because they chose to kneel, traitor. What I want you to do now is I want you to go home and I want you to hug your mother. I want you to tell her you love her. I want you to tell her you're sorry. Because everything that happens to you from now on is your fault.”

Brutal words from the King of HCW.  I’m sure Sonic will have a response for his opponent later this evening.  For now, we’re going to head to the ring for our first match of the night.

Jazz Emmett makes her way out to a mixed reaction from the crowd.  Once she got into the ring, her opponent Starr Vixen made her way out and the crowd popped.  She smiled a big smile and then high fived with the fans as she make her way to the ring.  She got in and the crowd popped again.  As soon as the bell rang, Starr owned the match.  For a solid 6 minutes, Jazz wasn’t able to get much in from an offensive perspective.  She thought things were going her way after hitting the Bank Statement but then Starr connected with a baseball slide dropkick to the floor and Jazz figured she’d had enough and then just decided to walk out.  She ended up getting counted out and the match was awarded to Starr.  Starr was a little disappointed but will take the win.  (6 ½ min)

Scooter J is backstage and he gloats about taking out the Axe.  He says that the Axe is just an over the hill lumberjack who is way past his prime.  SJ says that the two of them will meet in the ring but it will be on his terms and if Axe can’t live with that, he has two words for him…”Too Bad”.

Our next match is to determine who will be in line for the next TV title spot between the #2 and #3 seeds “The Elitist” Reid Rothchild and the Unknown Assassin respectively.  First, the honorable (well, not so honorable in our opinion) J C Dykes comes out to introduce his man the Unknown Assassin.  The crowd boos as security comes out to line the ramp and then UA and Dykes head down to the ring.  Next, the Ambassador comes out with Reid and the crowd pops for him.  Reid and his manager head down to the ring.  Dykes yells some obscenities at the Ambassador but they are ignored.  The time limit is set to 20 minutes as just as the bell rang, UA attacks Reid but Reid was successful in warding off his attack.  It wasn’t surprising to see Reid take the match to UA but after a cowardly attack on the Ambassador by Dykes, it drew Reid out of the ring to check on his manager.  With the ref distracted, Dykes threw something in to the Unknown Assassin.  As soon as Reid returned to the ring, UA pounces on him with English Forearm Strikes (with a loaded forearm to be sure) and he hooked the leg of a dazed Reid and he stole a 3 count.  The Unknown Assassin gets the (questionable) win and now is next in line for a shot at the TV title.  Dykes gets on the mic calling all the fans pathetic and says they are looking at the next TV champion.  (9 min)  Reid and the Ambassador were helped to the back.

Ladies Champion Taylor Bella is backstage with her manager Figaroa Newton and Taylor says that she’s the longest reigning champ to date in HCW and her title isn’t going anywhere.  She says she would take on any worthy challengers but none seemed to appear.  Just then, Ravishing Raquel walked in and the former champion said she’ll drop a challenge right here and now.  Taylor was going to complain but Figaroa chimed in saying it would be a non-title match however if she could beat the champ (Figgy turned to Taylor and winked) she could get a title match but that was unlikely.  Raquel smirked and said “Anything can happen” and she walked off.  Figaroa, startled, yelled back “Wait, what does THAT mean?”

Our next match is ready to go and Jesse California comes out to a mixed reaction from the crowd.  Scooter J comes out next and the fans boo.  Jesse took advantage of that and got the crowd to pop in his favor over the villainous Scooter J.  The two were pretty even but it was plain to see that SJ was going to cheat at every turn.  When he realized he was not getting the upper hand, he made sure the ref got “accidentally bumped” and ran to grab a chair.  The ref recovered pretty quick and SJ threw the chair to Jesse who caught it just as the ref looked up.  He saw Jesse with a chair and immediately disqualified Jesse much to his and the fans’ dismay.  Scooter J gets the win via DQ and he goes to the back laughing all the way. (5 ½ min)

Backstage, Dykes and UA are getting ready to leave and Dykes notices he forgot his keys.  He goes to run to grab them.  All of a sudden, Crow Phat appears out of nowhere and after pointing a finger and a stern look on his face, he begins beating up UA with a baseball bat that just so happened to be laying around.  The fight didn’t last long.  Dykes arrived at the end of the attack but before he could call for help, Crow Phat dropped him with the Phat’s Enough.  Crow Phat then disappeared just as quickly as he came in.  People did walk by seeing both UA and Dykes laid out but just kept on their own ways.

We head back to the ring for more action.  The royal music kicks in and out comes King Wilber Townsend.  The fans boo as his royalness makes his way down to the ring.  It’s a very slow procession and the fans that did pop for him went sour just out of boredom. Next, Sonic Blade makes his way out and the fans are re-energized and pop huge for him.  Sonic high fives the fans and makes his way to the ring.  Master Bull comes out and says that he’s modifying this match.  Not only will it now have a 30 min time limit, in addition to it being a no DQ/no countout rules match, it will also be considered under “strategy” rules.  Sonic and Wilber wasted no time in taking the fight to each other.  After many defensive stand offs, Wilber would break the rules and hit a low blow or something that would normally get him disqualified but the rules protected the King.  About 24 minutes in, Sonic appeared to injure Wilber but the King fought through it proving how good he really is.  In the last remaining moments of the match, both men gave up on going for a pin or submission and just wanted to inflict damage on the other.  When the bell rang at the 30 minute mark, both men still looked like they wanted to keep going but we could tell both were exhausted.  With nothing settled here, we would not be surprised to see them do battle again.  (30 min time limit draw)

Backstage, 5th Column member Karl Braun says he has TV Champion Texas Wildfire’s number and he’s cashing in and TW will be just another memory as he will bring prestige to the 5th Column.

In the next match, the Ladies Champion takes the title off to fight in a non-title match up.  First, Ravishing Raquel comes out and the fans pop huge for her.  Just before she makes her way to the ring, her husband’s manager The Ambassador comes out and offers his managerial services as she is also a member of Elitism just as her husband and brother in law are.  Raquel politely declines and the Ambassador wishes her well and they both go in opposite directions.  Raquel makes it to the ring and pumps her arms into the air and the fans pop each time.  Next, Figaroa Newton comes out and introduces the Ladies Champion (but not for this match) Taylor Bella.  The two head down to the ring and once in the ring, Taylor flaunts her title in Raquel’s face.  She hands her title to her manager and does some stretches as the bell rings kicking this one off.  Figgy got involved early giving Taylor a huge advantage.  Raquel wouldn’t give up and kept the fight up.   We join the match at the 5 minute mark.

Ravishing Raquel gets the win and is now going to get the next title match.  Raquel says she’s going to cash in her shot at the 2/04 show in Tacoma.  She looks at Taylor and smiles and says “See you in Tacoma” before walking off to the pop from the crowd.   Taylor goes to retrieve Figgy and they head to the back.

TV Champion Texas Wildfire says tonight he gets to prove to another member of the roster why he’s the TV champion.  He knows that there are a bunch of great competitors all chomping at his heels but he’s not looking past Braun tonight but he’s confident that he will be meeting more of the roster soon enough.

It’s time for our Main event for the TV title.  The entirety of the 5th Column (Baron von Blood & Oswald Zimmerman) accompanied their teammate Karl Braun to the ring and fans turned their noses and voices against them.  The Column flipped off the fans.  Master Bull came out and said that he didn’t want the Column to remain at ringside during the match.  Baron von Blood produced a document that showed they were authorized to remain at ringside during Karl’s match.  Bull relented but then said that he was going to allow some people to be in Texas Wildfire’s corner and he brings out the 6 Man Tag Team Champions the Steel Curtain and Biceps Bannerman as well as the Tag Team Champions Elitism and our resident “Crow”  Phat Sol who came out wielding a baseball bat.  The Column tried to complain but Bull gave them the option to leave and they did.  Once they got to the back, Bull had Elitism and the 6 Man Champs head to the back.  Phat went back up to his perch above the ring.  This one went a good clip with Braun going toe to toe with the champ but after 9 minutes, the champ took over and once again showed why he’s the champion.  After utterly destroying Braun, TW slaps on a standing armbar but instead of going for a submission, he turned it into a pin attempt and got the 1-2-3.  Texas Wildfire is victorious in his title defense and holds his title high climbing each of the turnbuckles to pops from the crowd and with that, the show has come to an end.
