HCW Wrestling Newsletter 2018 #655 – Phoenix Heat



Hello fans and welcome back to another episode of HCW’s Phoenix Heat.  We have a stacked card today and GM Master Bull comes out to pyro to kick off the show.  Bull says that a lot of great things will be happening tonight.  We will have an Elimination Chamber qualifier between the Unknown Assassin and Biceps Bannerman.  There will be a loser leave town match (only because Wolfman Keg belongs on Tacoma and he really doesn’t want him here).  We will also have the Tag Team Champions Elitism defending their titles against the Smashers.  Lastly, the new Tacoma (temporary) GM King Rad Gumbo dumped one of his guys on him after taking Superquake Ferguson so after the Jesse/Wolfman Keg match, he will be announcing who he will be taking from the Tacoma roster.  All this and a whole lot more will be taking place tonight so without further ado, it’s time to get this one going.

Pyro goes off once again and this one begins with Graham’s Ghouls member Wolfman Keg making his way out to booing from the crowd.  Surprisingly, manager Ant Graham was not there (supposedly he said that Master Bull didn’t pay for his airline ticket).  Next, Jesse California comes out to a pop from the crowd.  He makes his way down to the ring.  Neither man wasted any time pandering to the crowd but after a very slow start (he was lamenting not having his manager there), Wolfman Keg finally kicked it into gear and gave Jesse a match.  Unfortunately it wasn’t enough as Jesse hit Wolfman Keg first with a Zig Zag followed by a superkick and finally, a standing dropkick that nearly took Wolfman Keg’s head off.  Jesse made the cover and got the 3 count.  It looks like Wolfman Keg will in fact be moving to Tacoma and it works out as he will now be able to reside with his Ghoul teammates.  (11 min)

Master Bull makes his way out and announces that with Wolfman Keg moving to Tacoma, he will be bringing in…”the King of Cones” Magnum Kone.  The crowd pops for the announcement and Bull leaves the stage.

Our next match is ready to go and the fans don’t care too much for this one so a lot of them exited to go use the restroom or go for snacks.  Scooter J, Wilber Townsend and Otto Ruthless come out first.  Scooter J notices a lot of them leaving and yells at the fans for missing the top talent in the business.  Once in the ring, their opponents come out and the 5th Column (Baron von Blood, Oswald Zimmerman and Karl Braun) all make their way to the ring.  The fans that remained in their seats (because they were not fast enough to exit).  SJ, Wilber and Otto thoroughly dominated the column…in fact, it was embarrassing.  Wilber and Otto softened up the Column and then Scooter J went in first hitting Karl with the 10 punches and getting a 1 count and followed it up with an eye rake and went for a cover with his feet on the ropes getting the pin this time.  Wilber, Scooter J and Otto celebrated in the ring while fans booed and threw stuff at them.  Both teams eventually left.  (9 min)

There was a brief intermission as the crew came out to clean the ring of the debris that was thrown in there.  

We cut to a video feed where the Tacoma roster was gathered and witnessed GM Master Bull’s announcement.  There was some congratulatory remarks as Magnum shook hands with some of the people as he made his way out but as soon as he exited the building, he was blindsided by Superquake Ferguson.  Superquake beat Magnum down (the camera quickly pans and we see King Rad Gumbo standing there laughing) and then set him up next to a van.  Magnum was practically out on his feet so he didn’t see the freight train that is Superquake Ferguson charging at him and spearing him into the van rocking it on to two wheels and leaving a huge dent in its side.  Magnum crumbled into a heap and medics who are always on hand in case something like this happens rushed to Magnum’s aid.  The segment ends as Magnum is taken away in the ambulance and the camera pans back to King Rad who says “’Der you go Bull.  All wrapped up in bandages for ya” and he just laughs. 

We head back to the ring for our next match.  First, Talon McFrost comes out and is booed.  Next, Steel Curtain member Buzz Steel makes his way out and the fans pop huge.  Talon began the match with some driving elbow drops and a swinging neckbreaker.  Buzz stunned him with a Buzz Cut and a throw out of ring.  Talon stewed and jaw jacked with the fans and finally got back in only to be sent flying out again.  Talon said he’d had enough and walked away.  Talon got counted out and the match is awarded to Buzz Steel via countout (3 ½ min).  Buzz interacted with the fans for a few moments before leaving.

Master Bull is back in his office and he’s on the phone.  He slams it down angrily and says that Magnum better not be sidelined or there will be hell to pay. 

We go back to the ring for our next match.  This is an Elimination Chamber qualifier.  First, Biceps Bannerman comes out and the fans pop for him.  Once he makes it to the ring, manager J C Dykes comes out and the fans go sour.  Dykes tells them to shut up and sit down so that the ‘champion of champions’ the Unknown Assassin could come out and dazzle everyone with his prowess. He does come up but that all just infuriates the fans all the more.  Security rushes out to line the ramp and Dykes and UA head down to the ring.  Right off the bat, Dykes got involved slipping some sort of foreign object to UA who kept Biceps dazed for the first few minutes of the match.  Biceps began to battle back and UA and Dykes became concerned.  UA stepped out of the ring but remained on the apron and pulled out the foreign object again.  Biceps lifted him back in using a reverse Biceps Crunch but UA popped him with it again.  The Unknown Assassin then hit a Fireman’s Carry Roll and hooked the leg for the 3 count.  The Unknown Assassin gets the win and goes on to the Elimination Chamber.  (16 min)  Unknown Assassin and Dykes celebrated their way to the back as the fans voiced their displeasure.

The Smashers are backstage and they complain that it has taken this long for them to get a title shot.  They have dominated in the past and tonight will be no different when they take the titles back now that they have their manager MJ back in their corner.  MJ says that Elitism had their run but now it’s time for the REAL team to take over.

The action in the ring is ready to continue as Missy Chick makes her way out to the ring to a mixed reaction from the crowd.  Next, Figgy Newton comes out and introduces Taylor Bella and the fans boo.  They collectively flip everyone off and make their way down.  The two wasted no time in getting this one going and had the fans entertained for the majority of the match.  Figgy tried to provide some intestinal fortitude to Taylor but Missy shut him down (which the fans popped for).  The next thing we knew, time was running out.  Taylor got desperate and blasted Missy with a vicious uppercut.  She went for the cover but they only reached 2 when the bell rang bringing this one to an end.   Figgy took Taylor and they left, disappointed.  Missy too eventually left the ring.  (20 min draw)

The Ambassador and the Tag Team champs Elitism (Reid and Roderick Rothchild) are backstage and the Ambassador comments that at one time, yes, the Smashers were a dominant team but that was before Reid and Roderick joined forces to become the ultimate team.  They turned away great teams like the Column, the Steel Curtain, and so on and now, the Smashers will be just another set of victims to the top dogs in the business.

It’s time for our main event.  First, MJ makes his way out and introduces the Smashers.  They are all booed as they make their way down to the ring.  Next, the Ambassador comes out with the champs and after what seemed to be the loudest pop of the night, they too head down to the ring.  The Smashers immediately attack but the champs fight back.  The champs used their speed to nullify any advantage the Smashers had in the strength department but this one was practically even through the entire match.  Both teams got in some double teaming action and even saw MJ and the Ambassador almost square off.  7 minutes in, the champs were doing some double teaming on Smasher #1 but then Reid got dumped over the top rope to the floor.  Smasher #2 ran over and hit Reid with the Fall of Man on the floor.  Reid wasn’t able to get up in time and ended up getting counted out.  Smasher #2 got in the ring and both Smashers held their arms high but the ref informed them that titles do not change hands on a countout and therefore, the Smashers win the match via countout but do not win the titles.  MJ was furious as the ref handed the Ambassador the titles.  MJ and the Smashers yelled at Elitism as the show came to an end.
