Hello fans and welcome back to another installment of HCW’s Tacoma Thunder. Once again monopolizing the time is our (jerk of a) GM King Rad Gumbo. Gumbo announces that since Superquake DECIMATED the Snake Pit, he will get Magnum Kone at the PPV. Gumbo says that this show is his and he doesn’t care who likes it, when he has something to share, he’s going to. He finally releases a preview of the show and here is how today’s card looks:

GM King Rad Gumbo
comes out on the stage and announces that the Critical Mass PPV will take place
up in Seattle, WA this year which did not sit well with the Tacoma crowd. He laughed as they booed. He told them to suck it up and quit their
whining but the crowd got rowdier and Gumbo decided to leave so that he wasn’t
in the path of any debris that would surely be thrown his way.
The show begins
when Scarlett Phoenix comes out to a pop from the crowd. The
crowd continues the pop when El Gato Negro comes out. The two fan favorites are in the ring and
they shake hands reluctantly before kicking the match off. The match was extremely close with neither
lady getting the upper hand. Most of
these matches ended in a draw so there was an extra push to try to score a
win. Scarlett was able to hit the Black
Widow but El Gato rolled out of the ring to avoid the pin. She eventually got back in and was able to
hit the 9 Lives. El Gato rolled up
Scartlett and got the 1-2-3. El Gato
gets the win. Scarlett extends her hand
but El Gato slaps it away and walks off.
(15 min) Scarlett goes after her
and turns her around and begins yelling at her.
El Gato turns and walks but Scarlett pushes her. She says that she wants another shot at her
and challenges her to another match. El
Gato sneers and walks off but King Rad comes out. He says that there is no room on the PPV card
but he will add it as a special attraction during the Hall of Fame
ceremony. Everyone eventually leaves.
Candice Charisma
is backstage and she issues a challenge to Ravishing Raquel for the Ladies
title at the PPV. She tells the champ
that Raquel has never faced a challenger like her. She will prove her superiority and take the
Ladies title.
We head back to
the ring for our next match. Over the loudspeakers
blares “VAMPIRE LUNGES FOR EVERYONE” and out comes Dr. Red Fang and his manager
Ant Graham. The fans boo them as they
head down to the ring. Next, El Chango
comes out and the fans pop huge for him.
The evil vampire doesn’t care for the pop El Chango’s getting so he
attacks him on his way to the ring. El
Chango successfully fights him off and the two continue in the ring once the
bell rings starting this one off. Ant
Graham interfered a few times just staying off the ref’s radar. Fang locks in the spider web lock but El
Chango doesn’t quit. Fang hits him with
a flying elbow ram but El Chango hits the Diamond Dust. He makes the cover as
Graham tries for a distraction but fails.
The ref counts to 3 and awards the match to El Chango. El Chango warns both Elitism and the Smashers
that they are still going to the PPV for the belts. (7 min)
King Rad is in his
office and says he has important news and announces the Fiend as the 3rd
nominee for the Hall of Fame. The Fiend
was a main stay during the HWF and CSWA days and a multiple time Hardcore
champion. It is a fitting end to such an
illustrious career. We congratulate the
Fiend on his nomination.
First, Madame Jade
comes out to a pop from the crowd. Next,
Kimberly Kiccsass comes out and the fans boo her although one or two try to
cheer through the noise. She gets into
the ring and goes nose to nose with Madame Jade. Jade started off strong and kept things
going. Staying one step ahead of her
opponent, Jade threw Kimberly into the ropes and then leapt to the corner
turnbuckle and then to the ropes and then hit a perfectly executed springboard
dropkick. She makes the cover and after
hooking the leg, gets the 3 count.
Madame Jade gets the win. She
leaves to a pop from the crowd. Kimberly
leaves shortly thereafter. (6 min)
We cut to a pre-taped video from Taylor Bella. She says she’s on board with handing the Duchess her ASS at the PPV and says that the Duchess will be sorry she wanted this match.
Our next match
will be a chance for a member of the Tacoma Roster to challenge a member of the
Phoenix roster for the right to challenge the Crocodile Hunter for the US
title. First, Brick makes his way down
to the ring. Next, Drew the Canadian
Love Machine comes out and the crowd goes insane. The two men meet in the center of the ring
and shake hands. Brick put up a good
fight but after 10 minutes, Drew took the match to his challenger. Brick was resilient and he kept kicking out
of pin attempts. Drew began to sweat it
once we hit the 18 minute mark. A draw
here would give Phoenix’s representative a walk into the title match. Drew dug deep and in the last few seconds of
the match, he hit a handstand scissors and hooked the leg for the 1-2-3. Drew gets the win with only moments to
spare. Brick makes it to his feet and
once again shakes Drew’s hand before leaving.
Drew gets on the mic and issues a challenge to the Banker for a shot at the
US title. He says he’ll even fly to
Phoenix for the match. (19:56)
The Smashers are
backstage with their manager MJ. MJ says
that Elitism has skated by taking on the low hanging fruit. Tonight, the Smashers get 30 minutes to beat
the hell out of their opponents and once they are done, there will be new champions
crowned.
We go back to the
ring for our next match. First,
Desperado member Leon Teremoto comes out to a pop from the crowd. Next, another fan favorite Adam Jameson comes
out but his reception is not as great as that for Leon. The two shake hands and this one kicks
off. Leon controlled the first few
minutes of the match but then AJ took over.
Like our last match, this one went right up to the final bell. Leon was making a comeback but got tossed out
of the ring. While the ref checked on
AJ, the Smashers ran in from the crowd and hit Leon with a Fall of Man on the
floor. They then rolled him back in and
took back off through the crowd. Adam,
not realizing what just went down, picked up Leon and hit the Adam Bomb. AJ makes the cover and gets the 3 count with
limited time remaining. AJ gets the win and
as soon as he saw the Smashers disappear through the crowd, he knew something
transpired. He helped Leon to his feet
to a huge pop from the crowd. (19:42)
The Ambassador is
backstage with his Tag Team Champions Elitism – The Elitist Reid Rothchild and
Rowdy Roderick Rothchild. Reid says that
the Smashers will break all the rules in order to get what they want. Roderick comments that they too, at one time,
also broke the rules so they are familiar with that game. The Ambassador says that what the Smashers
can do, they can do better. Tonight,
they retain so that they can go to the PPV as defending champs.
It’s time for our
Main Event. MJ comes out and leads the
Smashers down to the ring. They flip off
and yell at the fans as they make their way down to the ring. Next, the Ambassador comes out and introduces
the Tag Team Champions – Elitism. The
fans pop as the trio make their way to the ring. Elitism takes the bull by the horns and
immediately attack the Smashers. For 18
minutes, the champs took the fight to the challengers but interference from MJ
started to swing the advantage to his team.
In the 21st minutes of the match, the Smashers began to
double team Roderick. The Rowdy one got
tossed out of the ring and Smasher #1 planted him with a DDT on the floor. Reid tried to make the save but ate a big
boot for his efforts that sent him crashing to the floor. Roderick got counted out. The belts once again don’t change hands on a
countout and the Smashers are irate.
They tried to continue the attack on Elitism but the Desperados came out
and the numbers provided to be too great so the Smashers and MJ opted to
leave. Elitism may have lost the match
but they retained the titles and will meet the Desperados at the PPV. (21 min)
Just before the
show was ready to shut down, King Rad Gumbo came out one final time. He talks about how he’s saving his match at the
PPV as a surprise and says it will be the greatest match ever – better than
Flair/Steamboat; Savage/Steamboat…any of them.
All of a sudden, music hits and out comes…WAIT… it’s Red Hot Lucas
Johnston! Lucas attacked a stunned Gumbo
and the two fought all over the stage.
About 20 members of security had to come out and separate the two. The show comes to an end with the two still
trying to reach each other.
We are getting
closer to the PPV so Phoenix is up next trying to one-up their northern
counterparts.
Here is a glimpse
as to what is coming:
The final member
of the 2018 Hall of Fame will be announced.
The Banker will be
on hand to make his decision about Drew’s challenge.Ravishing Raquel will be on hand to answer the challenge.
Stay tuned.
