HCW Wrestling Newsletter 2018 #680 – Tacoma Thunder


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.

Ruby gets the win and continues to move up in the Ladies’ rankings.  With impressive wins over former champions 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.
