HCW Wrestling Newsletter 2018 #648 – Tacoma Thunder


Hello fans and welcome back to our latest installment of HCW’s Tacoma Thunder.  We are coming hot off the heels of our Reigning Royalty PPV that saw both a new Queen and King of HCW crowned with Ravishing Raquel becoming the new Queen and ‘The Ragin Cajun’ Rad Gumbo becoming the new King.  Since some of our wrestlers had some flight issues out of Phoenix due to heat (can you believe it’s in the 80’s and it’s only February?) so those who were able to make it back were added to today’s show.  Here is the lineup for today.

The pyro goes off and GM Max McGillicutty comes out and thanks the fans who not only made the trek down to Phoenix for the PPV but those who tuned in on PPV.  He says he’s not going to waste a lot of time right now as he will be back at the end of the show with a huge announcement.  He leaves, pyro goes off once again and our show is ready to go.

The all-too-annoying music “Ice Dagger Baby” plays and Ice Dagger comes out…oh geez…dressed like Vanilla Ice.  The fans boo and heckle him as he makes his way down to the ring.  He flips them off as that seems to be all he knows how to do.  Next, we hear the old western music play and out comes El Chango to a HUGE pop from the crowd.  He high-fives the fans as he makes his way down into the ring.  Ice Dagger goes on the offensive attacking El Chango and he held the advantage (surprisingly) for the entire match.  10 minutes in, El Chango stuns Ice Dagger with a swinging neckbreaker.  He then got tossed out of the ring by ID.  ID drags El Chango back into the ring and connects with a vertical suplex.  El Chango then leapt to the top turnbuckle which got a pop from the crowd and then nailed a moonsault.  Ice Dagger saw the writing on the wall and rolled out of the ring.  He threw up his hands and walked off.  Ice Dagger gets counted out and El Chango wins the match.  El Chango hangs around for a few minutes before leaving.  (12 ½ min)

Backstage, the Axe is hanging out talking with Brick and TNT when Scooter J runs in and levels the Axe with a chair.  He threatens to use it against Brick and TNT trying to egg them on.  They stood over the Axe to prevent SJ from inflicting further damage.  Scooter J says that he isn’t done with them and he will take them out one by one.

Our second match kicks off when TNT comes out to a pop from the crowd.  He makes his way down to the ring.  Next, Davis ‘The Hoff’ Hoffmeister comes out and the crowd goes berserk.   He makes his way down and the match begins pretty quickly.  For about 9 minutes, TNT hung in there with the Hoff only to start getting winded and Hoff taking him down with a roundhouse kick.  TNT struggled to keep up after that and after going an additional 9 minutes, Davis catches TNT with a flying dropkick and makes the cover to get the 1-2-3.  Davis gets the win.  He helps TNT to his feet and shakes hands much to the delight of the crowd.  TNT leaves and Hoff asks for a mic.

He holds up a contract and calls out Mustang Sammy.  Sammy comes out with his manager Figaroa Newton.  The two make their way down to the ring.  Hoff tells Sammy that he seems to want to be in the ring with him so bad so he says Max approved a match at the supershow in a week and all Sammy has to do is sign.  Sammy snatches the contract out of Davis’ hand and scribbles his signature on it.  Sammy throws the contract and pen back at Davis and after a bit of jaw jacking, he and Figgy leave.  Just before they went backstage, Davis got on the mic and began laughing. “Come on, I thought you were smarter than this.  You didn’t even bother to read this.  I’ll use little words so you both can understand.   Match…you…me.  I beat you, I get Figgy in the ring for 5 minutes!”  Figaroa starting screaming and jumping up and down yelling at Sammy to get that contract and tear it up.  Sammy rushed to the ring but Davis took off through the crowd laughing all the way.   Figgy better hope Sammy wins.

Our next match on the card has two more fan favorites duking it out.  First, Leon Teremoto comes out to a pop from the crowd.  Next ‘Red Hot’ Lucas Johnston comes out also to a pop.  The two men shake hands in the middle of the ring and this one is off to the races.  Leon was definitely the more aggressive in this match still smarting from losing the Hardcore title.  Lucas barely could keep up.  The longer the match went on, the more Lucas struggled.  He managed to pop Leon with some forearm shots.  Leon countered with a side headlock followed by a Gorilla hug (Lucas did not tap but was worn out by now) and then planted him with a powerbomb.  Leon made the cover and got the 3 count.  Leon Teremoto gets the win.  He helps Lucas to his feet and the two leave.  (15 min)

The Six Man Tag Team Champions The Steel Curtain and Biceps Bannerman are backstage and the talk about how this will be an even playing field with Goofball Graham absent from ringside.  Buzz Steel says that tonight will be the last time we will see Graham, Mason, Wolfman Keg and the evil vampire Dr. Red Fang.  Starbuck adds in that they are the greatest team to ever hold these titles.  Biceps says that he knows the Ghouls will be playing dirty but guess what…they will if they have to.  All three men lean in and say “Word!”

Our next match begins with Wendell Hammerschmidt making his way down to the ring to a very mixed reaction from the crowd.  Next, World Champion Drew the Canadian Love Machine comes out to the loudest pop of the night.  The title is not on the line for this match as Drew is looking to keep himself loosened up and ready for his title defense on Sunday at the Supershow against. Starbuck Steel.  Wendell doesn’t do well with all the attention Drew is getting so he attacks him.  This one didn’t really take much as Drew was in top form and in just two minutes, he hits a corkscrew pescado and gets the 3 count.  Drew wins the match in dominating fashion.   Wendell leaves the ring and Drew celebrates with the fans before departing.

The next match is ready to go and Madame Jade makes her way out and the crowd pops for her.  She shakes the hands of fans as she makes her way to the ring.  As she is psyching up the crowd, her opponent Candice Charisma comes out armed with a microphone.  She yells for the fans to shut up and sit down.  She then begins to bitch about being eliminated in the battle royal by Ravishing Raquel who used illegal tactics to make it happen. She also said that the Duchess seems to be paying people off to try and take her out because she is afraid of her.  She finishes with that at the supershow, not only will she teach the Duchess a lesson but will take the title.  Now, she takes on this…schmuck.  She heads to the ring and the fans boo her pretty bad.   For 13 minutes, the two women fought tooth and nail.  After that, Candice hits back to back hurricanrana’s and after the second one, she went for a pin but Jade kicked out.  Candice turned up the heat and over the next 6 minutes, went for multiple pin attempts only for Jade to keep kicking out.  We join in the final moments of the match.

===== In the 20th minute of the match: =====

Candice Charisma (f) rolled DC

Madame Jade (f) rolled OC.

Madame Jade (f) executes a HEAD SMASH INTO CORNER....

Candice Charisma (f) reverses HEAD SMASH INTO CORNER!
Candice Charisma (f) executes a ELBOW DROP....

Madame Jade (f) attempts to defend against ELBOW DROP but is unsuccessful.

Candice Charisma (f) is attempting a pin!!!

1...2...
Madame Jade (f) kicks out of the pin!

After 20 minutes, the match is declared a draw.

This one ends in a draw finish and Candice is even more pissed.  She hurls Madame Jade out of the ring and then screams for the Duchess but she isn’t there.  She ends up storming off but GM Max McGillicutty comes out and says that Candice vs the Duchess will be for the title and in a steel cage at the supershow.  Candice storms off.

It’s time for the main event.  The Ghouls come out first as “VAMPIRE LUNGES FOR EVERYONE” blares over the loudspeakers.  Dr. Red Fang, Wolfman Keg and Mason the Mangler come out and the fans boo the hell out of them.  They don’t care.  They head to the ring, leaderless, as Ant Graham is barred from ringside.  He does however come out on the stage.  He acknowledges that he is, in fact, barred from ringside but he has, for one match, given a new manager a one day contract to lead his team to the titles.  He laughs as he says he found a loophole and introduces the manager for King Rad Gumbo – MJ!  MJ shakes hands with Graham and heads down to the ring. Next, the music hits and out comes the 6 Man champs the Steel Curtain and Biceps Bannerman.  Buzz walks over to Ant Graham and makes like he’s going to hit Graham who flinches.  Buzz, Starbuck and Biceps laugh and head down to the ring.  This no count out, 60 minute time limit starts right away and MJ wastes no time providing the Ghouls with intel and they used it well.  MJ did a better job than Graham could have.  Starbuck was immediately put through a table taking him effectively out of the match.  Biceps was double and triple teamed for 11 straight minutes.  Finally, he makes the hot tag to Buzz and the fans exploded.  He psyches up the crowd and turns around only to get blasted with a Vampire Lunge.  Dr. Red Fang makes the cover and gets the 1-2-3!   Graham’s Ghouls gets the win and become the NEW 6 MAN TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS!  With that, the Steel Curtain and Biceps Bannerman now have to split up and the Steel Curtain cannot team together again for 6 months.  Ant Graham makes his way to the ring and shakes hands with MJ who then leaves.  Graham and his Ghouls celebrate their win in the ring.  

Right before the show could come to an end, GM Max McGillicutty comes out to the ring and says that the bombshell he is announcing is that every match at the super show will be a specialty match.  The fans pop but Graham is not happy the GM interrupted his team’s celebration.  Graham has Dr. Red Fang attack the GM and then the other Ghouls join in.  Fang finishes up with a Vampire Lunge on the GM.   The show comes to an end as Graham and his Ghouls stand over the bloody GM and the fans boo viciously.

I am sure there will be serious repercussions to this egregious attack.
