Hello fans and welcome back to another
installment of HCW’s Tacoma Thunder.
While we expect GM Master Bull to make an appearance today, the show
begins with manager MJ making his way out and heads down to the ring. MJ says that the Ragin Cajun did not receive
a proper coronation when he was originally given the crown so right here and
right now, they will do this right with all the pomp and circumstance that it
deserves. He then introduces the new
King of HCW…King Rad Gumbo. Rad comes
out smirking and the fans boo him. Many
fans have signs showing their displeasure.
“Rad Gumbo – Phony King”
“Wilber got
Vinced” “Phoenix is NOT Montreal”
“
He makes it into the ring. A throne has been placed at the center. Rad stands in front of it. The fans booing is getting louder. MJ then puts the robe on the King and Rad sits down. MJ then places the crown on the King’s head and hands him his scepter. The fans vocal displeasure doesn’t seem to be dampening Rad’s spirits. MJ hands him a mic.
Rad: "Da King is here! I been tellin' all
y'all 'round here that I was gonna rule dis place sooner rather den later. And
here I stand (but he’s sitting) da King of da HCW! So now all of my subjects
can start lining up to pay tribute to good ol' Rad. We are runnin' da show here
now. Ha haaaa!
Now MJ! When I say 'we' you probably thinkin'
I mean me an' you n'est-ce pas? Well it's true dat you been by my side for a
long time now but I realized somethin' dat was made clear when you helped da
Ghouls win da 6 man titles. Yeah, a few
months ago... I realized somethin'. Dat you, MJ, was not what dis Cajun SOB
needed. Dat YOU were holdin' me back. You talk an' talk an' tell Rad dis an'
tell Rad dat. An' make no mistake mon ami, you take your cut don't you? Yeah,
you line your pockets from all the hard work Rad puts in. You been usin' me for
a good long time now so I thought I maybe turn da tables on you MJ. I been
usin' you to get what I want. But now I da King! And I don't need no 'manager'
or no 'right hand man'. No, no, no. What does a King need? A King need a Queen!
C'mon out here cherie!” MJ stands there
and is speechless.
“Now look at dat! Dis, my HCW subjects, is Ms.
Alexandria an' she is your new Queen! C'est bon to be da King! Bow down an' show
her some respect!
So da King an' Queen's first order of
business? MJ, you fired son. Sortez. An' we can do dis da easy way or we can do
dis da 'Big Easy Way' if you know what I gettin' at mon ami. Get lost or King
Rad says...off wit your head.” MJ, in
shock, leaves the ring fired from his managerial position.
“An' dat goes for everyone else back in dat
locker room too! You displease da King an' you gonna pay a tithe dat gonna
leave you poor, like da peasants dat you are."
Music changes and out comes the ACTUAL Queen
of HCW Ravishing Raquel. Raquel is
wearing her regal gear and she gets into the ring. She asks “Just what in the HELL do you think
you’re doing calling this charlatan Queen?
I am the rightful heir to the HCW throne.” Rad asks Raquel “What is it you really
want? You don’t want to be da Queen…You
want to be da Ladies Champion. Dat is
why you are here in HCW. You want to
rule as da champion, not sitting on some throne. I’ll tell you wat…give up da crown right here
an’ now and my first royal proclamation is to authorize you to get a title shot
at da Duchess. Any match you want. Give me the crown to give to my first lady
an’ I’ll make dat happen.” Raquel then
does the unthinkable…she hands over the crown and cape. “I want that match at the next show. Make it happen!” Raquel then walks off and everyone is
watching in disbelief. Rad laughs again. “Oh, and mah second proclamation…I challenge
El Chango tonight for his spot in da World title lineup. Now, dis is how you get tings done…King
Style.” He crowns Ms. Alexandria and the
two of them leave the ring together.
Today’s card looks
like this:
Leon Teremoto vs Bob Keg
Pete vs Davis Hoffmeister
The Smashers vs AJ and Billy
Candice Charisma vs Madame Jade
King Rad Gumbo w/ Queen Alexandria vs El Chango for his spot in the World title line up
Pyro goes off and
the show begins with “VAMPIRE LUNGES FOR EVERYONE!” blaring over the
loudspeakers and out comes the evil vampire Dr. Red Fang with his lackey, err,
I mean manager Ant Graham. The fans boo
them both as they make their way down to and into the ring. The Axe comes out next and is cheered. Neither Graham nor Fang care for that so Fang
immediately attacks Axe upon entering the ring.
Graham got involved early and often but that didn’t stop the Axe for
getting in some good licks. As the match
was nearing the time limit, Axe set Fang up for the Axe but Graham tripped
him. Axe stumbled and Fang hit him with
a Transylvania piledriver. He hooked the
leg (and tights) and got the 1-2-3. Dr.
Red Fang gets the win. (19 min) Graham joins Fang in the ring and they are
showboating and Axe gets up, grabs Fang and hurls him over the top rope to a
pop from the crowd. This left Graham
alone in the ring with the Axe and he had the “deer in the headlights”
look. He was petrified. Axe whipped him to the ropes but Fang made a
grab for his manager and pulled him out to safety. Graham and Fang then left pretty quick and
Axe celebrated with the fans before leaving.
Davis Hoffmeister
is backstage and he says that he was a little disappointed that he didn’t get
Figgy in the ring but he’s not through with him or Mustang Sammy…not by a long
shot. He will get him back in the ring and
this time, he’ll get his hands on his former manager and Figgy will wish he
called it quits.
The next match is
ready to go and Bob “Powder” Keg makes his way down to the ring to a mixed
reaction from the crowd. Next, Leon
Teremoto comes out and the fans pop for him.
Leon gets on the mic and says he wants to challenge Bob for his spot in
the TV title line up. Bob tries to back
out of it saying that he didn’t have enough notice but the ref makes it
happen. Bob was not happy about it and
took his frustrations out on Leon early by taking him out of the ring and
slamming his head into the steel steps before whipping him into the steel
post. Bob then brought the action back
into the ring and dominated the rest of the match before picking Leon up and
hitting a powerbomb in the middle of the ring.
Bob makes the cover and gets the 3 count. Bob wins the match and retains his spot in
the TV title lineup. The fans began to cheer
Leon on but Bob didn’t like that so he nailed Leon with a second powerbomb in
the ring. Bob told the fans to shut it
or he’d keep beating Leon up. The ref
stepped in and said that if he laid another hand on Leon, he would reverse the
decision. Bob then left. (14 min)
Candice Charisma
is backstage and she once again complains that she was left out of the fatal
four way so tonight she is challenging Madame Jade for her #1 spot. Jade will rue the day she stole Candice’s
spot in that match.
We go back to the
ring for more action. First, the Hoff –
Davis Hoffmeister comes out and the fans go crazy. Davis high fives the fans as he makes his way
down to the ring. Next, Pete Punsher
(aka the PUNisher) makes his way out to a mixed reaction from the crowd. The two started off and Pete liked to think
he was in control of the match however he was not. Davis controlled the match
and after dropping Pete with a clothesline, he made the cover and got the
surprising 3 count. Davis wins this one
in 8 minutes. Both men leave without
further incident.
Madame Jade is
backstage and she comments on how the ladies in HCW are top notch although some
leave something to be desired. One of
those is the upstart Candice Charisma. Jade said she fought hard to get where
she is now and Candice just feels everything should be handed to her on a
silver platter. Not this time. If Candice wants Jade’s spot, she has to earn
it but Jade isn’t going down without a fight.
It’s time for some
tag team action. First, Adam Jameson and
Billy Robbins come out to a decent pop from the crowd. Next, the Smashers come out and they stop on
the ramp. Smasher #1 says that without a
manager, they’ve been a rut. That ends
tonight as they announce their new (and former) manager – MJ! MJ comes out and takes the mic. “Gumbo, you are a little mistaken…it wasn’t
me riding your coattails but the other way around. All your angles…all your title shots…it was
because of me. Just because you couldn’t
get the job done, that’s not my problem.
One thing I did recognize is that managing a tag team, like when I
stepped in and helped the Ghouls win the 6 man titles, is that my calling is in
the tag team ranks. The Smashers were
once the dominant team in HCW and with me by their side once again, they will
be once more. Elitism, we are coming for
you!” MJ and the Smashers make their way
down to the ring. MJ made a difference
in the match and the Smashers managed to stay two steps ahead of Billy and
AJ. At the 21 minute mark, MJ dragged
his thumb across his throat and then Smasher #2 hit the Fade to Black on Billy
and that was it. The Smashers get the
win. MJ leaves with the Smashers and
then head to the back. (21 min)
El Chango is
backstage and he says that King Gumbo, like all the other royals before him,
are delusional. Thinking that a crown makes you something is absurd “although I
would have been ok with it ha ha. I’ve
earned my spot and you think that just because you wear a crown gives you more
power, you’re wrong. I’ll prove it
tonight.”
King Rad is
backstage with Queen Alexandria talking to someone. “Plain and simple, I need someone to watch
mah back. Dis ain’t no glory job. I will boss you around and you’ll take it…if
you want to get paid more den you’d ever seen.
Just stand dere and do nothin’ ‘cept what I tell you. You do dat and
you’ll go a long way. What do you say
mon ami?” The camera pans and we see
Superquake Ferguson (our GIANT in HCW) look down on the King and then takes a
knee. “What is thy bidding my liege?”
The next match
begins with Candice Charisma coming out to some massive boos from the
fans. She flips them off nonchalantly
and gets into the ring. Next, Madame
Jade comes out and the fans pop. Candice
rushes out of the ring and attacks Jade starting this one off on the outside of
the ring. The attack took Jade off her
game but it didn’t take long for her to recover and take the match to the
upstart. Just as Madam Jade was setting
up the Jade Breaker, Candice reversed it and ended up clipping Jade’s
knee. Jade dropped and Candice picked
her up and hit a northern lights suplex and while hooking the bum leg (and had
her feet on the ropes) she got the surprising 1-2-3. Candice just stole a win from Jade and now,
pending the outcome of Ravishing Raquel’s shot at the Duchess, we will have our
new #1 contender. Candice runs around
with her arms in the air singing “I am the champion my friends” and she leaves
to the boos from the crowd. (8 min)
GM Master Bull makes an appearance on stage and
states that he needs to have representation here in Tacoma until Max returns so
he declares that the winner of this next match between Gumbo and El Chango will
have a new temporary GM of Tacoma. There
was a huge GASP from the crowd at this announcement. He then left with everyone still reeling from
that announcement.
It’s time for our Main Event. First, the Ragin Cajun King Rad Gumbo, his
Queen Ms. Alexandria and his new “tower of terror” Superquake Ferguson. Gumbo gets in the ring and says that not only
does he gain a title shot at the World title but a little something else. He smiles stating he has the whole thing
figured out. Next, El Chango comes out
to the loudest pop of the night. El
Chango high fives with the fans and makes his way into the ring. El Chango bypasses the King and gets right
into Superquakes’…err..chest (Ferguson is a good 2 feet taller) and says “you
don’t scare me big boy”. Ferguson looks
to the King who motions him to step out of the ring. Queen Alexandria also steps out leaving the
boys to fight it out. And fight they
did. El Chango pulled out all the stops
and really took the match to his Lordship.
Gumbo did receive some good advice from his Queen (and a bit of outside
interference from the tower of terror). El
Chango hit the ropes and caught King Rad with a shooting star press but Rad
rolled with it and locked in the Onion Lock.
When the ref was distracted by Queen Alexandria for just a moment,
Superquake reached in and hit El Chango with the knockout punch. The ref came back and seeing that El Chango
was out (raising and dropping of the arm 3 times), he awarded the match, the
title shot and temporary control of Tacoma Thunder to King Rad Gumbo. The fans about lost their minds. There was almost a riot when Gumbo, standing
in the ring flanked by his Queen and bodyguard, stood there laughing. Gumbo takes a mic before the show ended and
declared he was officially moving Superquake to the Tacoma roster and will
announce on Wed who will be moving to Phoenix.
The show comes to an end with Rad standing
there laughing.
Here is a preview for our next show.
