Hello fans and
welcome back to another installment of HCW’s Tacoma Thunder. Tonight, the final four from Tacoma slug it
out to see who advances to the final Four to crown a new interim World
Champion. Once our normal champ Buzz
Steel is cleared to return (currently slated for July 4), both men will slug it
out to see who will become the undisputed World Champion. GM Max McGillicutty comes out and thanks the
crowd for attending. He says that as we
build up towards our summer PPV “Meltdown” (will uncharacteristically be held
during the week as opposed to on a Sunday), we expect only the best from the
superstars who fill the ranks of HCW’s two rosters. It’s
time to get this show going. Max leaves
the stage and pyro goes off signaling the start of tonight’s event.
The first match
kicks off with Ovaltine Jackson and Ghee Buttersnaps making their way down to
the ring. The fans pop for them. Next, their opponents Wendell Hammerschmidt
and Red McNulty make their way out but the fans boo them. They do the customary “I’m going to hit you”
to the fans and that just gets them all the more riled up. Once in the ring, the bell sounds immediately
and this one is off. Red and Wendell
controlled the match for practically the entire match but Ghee and Ovaltine
were only a few steps behind them. Even
though they went for numerous pin attempts, Ghee and Ovaltine were there to
make the save each time. The frustration
was apparent from Red and Wendell. The
fans were into this match and before we knew it, the time limit was nearing its
end. In the last few seconds of the
match, Ghee locked Wendell in a bearhug but he wouldn’t submit. Just when it looked like he might, the bell
rang bringing this one to a draw finish.
Both teams looked exhausted after the 30 minute battle. Each team left without further incident. (30 min draw)
We go backstage
and newcomer (short but vicious) Ruby Rose is enjoying snacks (healthy ones)
from the buffet table when she is bumped by the Duchess. The Duchess says that she is not impressed by
Ruby and thinks that her beginners luck will run out and then she’ll become
fodder for the rest of the roster. Ruby
says she has made a positive impact and will continue to do so as she earns a
future shot at the Ladies Title. The
Duchess laughs saying that Ruby wasn’t good enough to tie her shoes. Ruby asks the Duchess that if she really
wants to see what Ruby is made of, there is a ring and a crowd to perform in
front of for proof. The Duchess accepts
the challenge.
We head back to
the ring for our next match. First,
Superstar Chic Monroe makes his way out to a mixed reaction from the
crowd. He high fives the fans showing
that he is appreciative of their support and they slowly warm up to him. Next, the burly Russian Ivan Dragovich comes
out. Ivan is booed as he makes his way
to the ring but he doesn’t care. He
attacks Chic once in the ring. The
advantage quickly dissipated and Chic totally owned the match. The
fans got into the action with verbal exclamations of “Ohh” and “Ahh” as the two
competitors hit some high spots. This
one also seemed to be running long but Chic began wrapping things up hitting a
gutwrench suplex followed by a big boot to the face. Chic made the cover and barely got the
1-2-3. Superstar Chic Monroe gets the
win. Ivan tried to attack him after the
match but he was able to get away unscathed.
Ivan eventually left. (18 min)
Davis Hoffmeister
is backstage cutting his promo.
“Hardcore Hensen, I don’t know you very well but I can tell that you are
a very imposing presence in the ring.
Having your manager at ringside may be a challenge but I am up to
it. Only the best will advance. I’m bringing my A-game. Are you bringing yours?
Ruby Rose makes
his way out to the ring and the fans pop pretty loud for her. She gets into the ring and waves to the fans
from all 4 sides of the ring. Next, the
Duchess makes her way out and she is all business and climbs into the ring and
gets right into Ruby’s face. The bell
rings but the two are still jaw jacking.
The Duchess takes the first swing but Ruby begins to go toe to toe with
the former Ladies Champ. After Ruby
connected with an inverted DDT and a near 2 count, the match went her way and
she controlled the match much to the surprise of the Duchess. 6 minutes in, we had our “Ohh and Ahh”
moment.

continued and at the 20th minute in the match, the Duchess connected
with a superkick but as she went for the cover, Ruby got her foot on the bottom
rope stopping the count after 1. At the
beginning of the 21 minute mark, both women looked exhausted.

Taylor Bella and now the Duchess, it seems that Ruby is within grasp of a title
shot.
“The Singapore
Sensation” Matt Preacher is backstage with two of his wrestlers Hardcore Hensen
and Nix Anderson. Max does all the
talking for his team. “Hoffmeister, you
are right, you don’t know these men.
Hardcore is nothing like you’ve ever faced before. He’s a monster among men. For you Jacques Beannot, you get to face
“Nixie”. Mr. Anderson was so over in
Germany that he makes David Hasselhoff look like a rookie. When I showed up here, I put HCW on
notice. These men are the future and as
time will tell, future champions as well.
Prepare to be schooled.”
The first of our
qualifiers is next. First, Davis “the
Hoff” Hoffmeister comes out to a thunderous pop from the crowd. He is able to climb all 4 corners before he
is interrupted by “BECAUSE I’M HARDCORE” and out comes Hardcore Hensen and his
manager Matt Preacher. The duo are booed
as they head to the ring. Hensen gets in
the ring and tries (unsuccessfully) to intimidate Davis with his size. Before the match can begin, GM Max
McGillicutty comes out and says that in order to find the best of the best, we
need to see everyone at their best so to avoid any disqualifications or
countouts, this and the next match will both be no DQ matches. However, Preacher, if you are caught
interfering on behalf of either man, you will be ejected from ringside.” Preacher stands there but doesn’t react. (Does he have something up his sleeve?) Hardcore came out with guns blazing and with
Preacher in his corner, he was able to hold the advantage throughout the match. Davis
got in a few shots but due to Preacher’s attentiveness, he was able to give
Hensen the means to get out of his predicaments. We
join the match at the 15 minute mark.

Hardcore Hensen
then hurls Davis out of the ring and then yells “BECAUSE I’M HARDCORE” and his
manager joins him in the ring and raises his arm high. Just then, Hardcore Champion Magnum Kone
comes out and he and Hensen just stare at each other as the segment comes to an
end.
The TV Champion
the Unknown Assassin and his manager J C Dykes are backstage. Dykes speaks up for UA and he says that HCW
is a breath of fresh air now that Phat Sol is gone. UA is going to continue to mow through the
roster and one day, it will be impossible to ignore him further and a World
title will be in his future.
It’s time for our
next qualifier. First, “The Singapore
Sensation” Matt Preacher comes out first and introduces Nix Anderson. The two make their way to the ring. Nix has a smug look on his face and he smirks
at the fans as he walks by. He gets
into the ring and begins to pose as the crowd continues to boo him. Music then changes and out comes Canada’s
other favorite son Jacques Beannot.
Jacques heads down to the ring and slides under the bottom rope. He and Nix stare at each other in the center
of the ring. The bell rings and this
one is ready to go. The two began
slugging it out and Preacher got involved a few times. About 9 minutes in, Jacques got fed up with
the interference and went after Preacher but he was able to stay just outside of
Jacques’ grasp. Frustrated, Jacques got
back into the ring. We pick up the match
at the 16 minute mark.

Matt Preacher
joins Nix in the ring and holds his arm up in victory. He points to Nix as Nix poses in the ring and
they finally leave.
With the two wins
tonight, it seems that Phoenix Heat will play host to three matches on
Wednesday. Starbuck Steel will be
taking on Nix Anderson and Texas Wildfire will take on Hardcore Hensen. The two winners of those matches will be in
the main event with one person walking out as the interim World Champion. Who will it be? I guess we will have to wait and see.
It’s time for our
Main Event. First, TNT (Templeton N.
Townsend) makes his way out and the crowd cheers for him. Next, J C Dykes and the Unknown Assassin
come out and they are booed as they walk down to the ring and having to dodge
miscellaneous garbage thrown their way.
The TV champ gets in the ring but the fans continue to cheer for TNT
which infuriates him. Much to everyone’s
surprise, TNT held in there with the champ for about 14 minutes but then Dykes
got involved slipping in a foreign object.
The Unknown Assassin then owned the match but nothing he did would get
him that elusive pin. The time limit
reached 29 minutes and the last 60 seconds began to tick down. The Unknown Assassin locked in a nerve pinch
trying to get a submission but TNT wouldn’t tap out so UA took TNT to the mat
and then turned that nerve pinch into a pin attempt. With seconds left in the match, the Unknown
Assassin was able to get the 3 count. UA
retains his title and Dykes joined him in the ring. The two celebrated as the show came to an
end.
That’s all for
this show. Be sure to tune in to find
out who becomes the interim World Champion.
Next show will tell. More to
come.
