HCW Wrestling Newsletter 2018 #683 – Phoenix Heat


Hello fans and welcome back to another installment of HCW’s Phoenix Heat.  Today’s show begins, not in the ring, but backstage.  TV Champion The Unknown Assassin and his manager The Honorable J C Dykes shows up demanding why he’s (they are) not on the show.  GM Master Bull tells him that the belts only need to be defended once month.  Dykes demands UA get more air time. Bull asks “So what you’re telling me is that he wants to have weekly defenses of the title?”  Dykes begins to backtrack.  “No, he should be on the show without having to defend his title.”  Bull shakes his head.  “No, no…you convinced me.  Effective this Sunday, the Unknown Assassin will defend the TV title once a week…alternating between Tacoma and in Phoenix.”  Dykes stammers on but Bull walks away.  UA looks at Dykes with a very annoyed look on his face.  Dykes cracks a smile but I’m sure he’s not happy.

Pyro goes off and our first match is ready to go.  First, Tobias Snake comes out to a mixed reaction from the crowd.  Next, ‘Top Gun’ Justin Winger comes out and the fans pop for him.  He shakes hands with some of the fans before sliding into the ring.  Tobias attacked him before the bell pulling him to the outside and hurling him into the steel steps.  He then rolled Winger back in and told the ref to ring the bell.  Tobias went on a tear with Winger not being able to put up much resistance.  After about 7 minutes, Winger found his groove and started making a comeback.  Tobias hit a lariat trying to slow down Winger’s offense but Top Gun followed it up with nullifying a snap elbow drop from Tobias but then connected with the Flyin’ & Stylin’ and rolled Tobias up for the 1-2-3.  Top Gun gets the win and celebrates as Tobias makes his way to the back. Winger follows shortly thereafter.  (9 min)

The New Ladies Champion Madame Jade comes out and the hometown fans pop huge for her.  She makes her way into the ring.  She talks about winning the title and how much it meant for the fans to be there for her.  Former champion Candice Charisma comes out to crash the party demanding an immediate rematch tonight.  Jade tells her it’s only fair to give Candice the same stipulation that was given to her which was to put her career on the line.  Candice scoffs at this as she is already guaranteed a rematch.  Jade replies with “sure but you’re not necessarily first in line.”  Candice gets pissed and accepts.  Jade tells her “Fine but first, you have to fight Ravishing Raquel tonight to see which of you will be the next in line.”  Candice throws a fit but regains her composure.  Before walking off, Candice gets in Jade’s face and says “Play your little game sweetheart and live this up because you, like so many others, will lose the belt before you get your first title defense in.  HA HA.”  Candice storms off.  Jade celebrates with the fans and then leaves.

Next up, we are ready for some tag team action.  The masked men known as the Machines make their way out.  One has the letter B on his chest and the other has the letter P.  I guess this is so we can tell the difference between the two.  They receive a modest pop from the crowd.   The music changes and out comes the Ryzing Storm.  Terra Ryzing and his brother Travis ‘Dark Storm’ Ryzing both make their way out to the ring.  The fans boo the crap out of them.  They act like they’re going to slug some of the fans but show some restraint.  They attack the Machines as soon as the bell rings.  For 5 minutes, the Ryzing Storm beat the holy hell out of the Machines.  Man, this was like watching a match with the Mulkey’s from the 80’s.  At the 6 minute mark, the Machines began a comeback and were able to nullify any offense from the Storm.  The Machines then double-teamed Terra for 2 solid minutes much to the fans’ delight.  Terra gets thrown out of the ring but he’s back in pretty quick but B Machine quickly drops him with a piledriver.  While Terra is twitching on the mat, B calls for another piledriver.  He picks up Terra and beautifully executes it.  Machine P rushes over and takes out Travis.  B makes the cover and gets the 3 count.  The Machines rack up another win.  They celebrate briefly before heading to the back.  Eventually, the Storm leave also.  (9 min)

Scooter J is backstage and he says that he duped TNT into putting the first shot at the interim World Champion on the line.  He’s going to dispatch him pretty quick and will take his rightful place in the world title hunt.

In the interview area, Ravishing Raquel comments that Candice is full of hot air.  She expected to come into HCW as this raging storm but has fizzled out like stale carbonated water.  Raquel says she’s bided her time and once she secures the win, she will get the next shot at the Ladies title.

We’re ready for the next match.  First, Scooter J comes out and the crowd boos him all the way down to the ring.  He doesn’t react and just ignores them.  Next, TNT comes out and the place goes absolutely bananas.  TNT smiles as he makes his way down to the ring.  A one-time scrawny but now ‘Atlas-physique’ mound of solid mass, TNT shakes hands with the fans as he makes his way into the ring.  Scooter J motions with his hands that he’s going to ‘break’ TNT and then the match begins and we are underway.   Scooter J got in the first lucky shot but then TNT, with his future title shot on the line, ‘took the gloves off’ and really showed SJ a thing or two.  The crowd popped with every explosive move TNT pulled out of his arsenal.  We join the match now at the 13 minute mark.

TNT pins SJ and gets the 3 count and then begins to celebrate in the ring. Scooter J gets up and just stands in the ring. TNT stops celebrating when the crowd points. Turning and seeing SJ there, TNT looks wary. SJ (remembering what the Axe told him) extends a hand, slowly and leaves it out. TNT looks at it then the fans and back at SJ, who shakes it in a ' come on and take it' motion. TNT grabs it and SJ starts to pull him in for a hug. TNT misreads it and delivers a forearm across SJs mouth, who staggers back looking stunned. Then SJ leaves the ring.  TNT celebrates with the fans briefly before leaving.

Candice Charisma is backstage and she is ready to slap Raquel’s lying mouth.  She says that Raquel calls herself a veteran but in fact, she’s a relic that needs to be put away never to see the light of day again.  She calls Raquel delusional if she thinks she can beat her.  Tonight, she shuts Raquel’s mouth once and for all.  After this, Jade is next.

It’s time for the in-ring action to continue.  First, Angry Jack Lawson, who is, for whatever reason, always angry, makes his way down to the ring first.  The fans boo him and he flips them off.  Next, the music changes and out comes Biceps Bannerman.  Biceps gets a huge pop from the crowd and makes his way to the ring.  Jack meets him outside the ring and attacks him trying to get the upper hand.  Biceps fights him off and rolls Jack back into the ring.  He follows him in and the action officially starts.  Jack was just one step ahead of Biceps but Bannerman was there with him the entire match.  The two fought hard and fast keeping the fans on the edges of their seats.  Before we knew it, the time limit was reached but these two weren’t done.  After the bell rang, the two continued to fight and refused to break it up.  Even after multiple referees and backstage hands came out to try and separate them (and fail), Master Bull came out and ordered the two to stop.  Bull said that they obviously didn’t have enough time to get done what they wanted.  Bull promised them that they will get another shot in two weeks.  The refs finally got them all to separate and order had finally been restored.  (20 min for the match and 10 min for all the aftermath)

The Six Man Tag Team Champions – The Banker and the Regulators – are backstage with their manager Ruth Heartless.  Ruth says she’s speaking on behalf of the champions.  She tells us that no team in the world can stand up to the might of ‘Regulation’ and those who think they have a shot in hell (like their opponents tonight) are sadly mistaken.  She calls the Hubers a bunch of backwater idiots who are quite a few brain cells short of an ape.  Tonight, the champs make an example of the Hubers and will show that they are in fact the cream of the crop and just shy of a miracle happening (she doesn’t believe in miracles), nothing prevents HER team from retaining.  “You can try…and you’ll fail.”

Our next match decides who will be challenging for the Ladies title next.  First, Candice Charisma comes out and the fans boo her.   Next, Ravishing Raquel comes out and the fans pop in what could be the loudest of the night (in favor of someone).  Raquel immediately got in the ring as Candice motioned for her to “bring it”.  Candice took control of the match early on but Raquel eventually took over after about the 6 minute mark.  Candice tried to execute a Northern Lights suplex but Raquel reversed it and connected with a moonsault which got a HUGE pop from the crowd.   Raquel then motioned she was going for the arm and immediately locked in the Ravishing Armbar.  Candice struggled against it and almost made it to the ropes but Raquel dragged her back into the center of the ring.  With nowhere to go, Candice tapped out.  Ravishing Raquel gets the win and is next in line for the shot at the Ladies title.  She celebrated briefly before leaving.  Candice eventually got up and left nursing her arm.  (8 min)

We are then treated to a video of King Rad Gumbo going out for a night out on the town and says he’s taking us to his favorite restaurant.  He greets the Maître D and slips him some cash expecting to get the royal treatment.  After a moment, the Maître D returns and tells Rad that he cannot eat here.  Gumbo throws a fit.  “Why the hell not?”  “Well, it’s because of a restraining order that prevents you from being within 100 feet of Buzz Steel.”  “So, what does that have to do with my…are you kidding me?”  The camera shifts and we see Buzz chowing down on some food.  He looks up, smiles and waves.  Gumbo gets all pissy and grabs his money back and storms out.  Buzz sits there smirking while all the people around him get a good laugh at the King’s expense.

It’s time for the main event and it will be for the Six Man Tag Team Championship.  First, the challengers the Hubers (Ferb, Junior and Butch) come out and the fans give them a small pop just because of who they are going against.  Music changes and out comes Ruth Heartless and the 6 Man tag team champs – Regulation.  The Banker leads the Regulators down to the ring and the Regulators act like they’re going to attack but back off and laugh trying to play mind games.  The match begins with all 6 men in the ring at the same time slugging it out.  The Hubers took control early on but after some ‘guidance’ from Ruth, the champs kicked it into high gear.  When the champs were going for a pin or submission, the Huber’s were there to make the save and vice-a-versa.  The Banker was getting increasingly frustrated that they couldn’t score a pin over their opponents.  A botched move by Regulator Mammoth saw the Huber’s capitalize and take control of the match almost right up until the end.  As time began to wind down, the Banker tagged in and immediately locked Butch up with the ATM Fee armbar.  Much to his credit, Butch wouldn’t tap.  As the clock got closer to the 30 minute mark, the Banker cinched back on the arm trying to get Butch to say the magic words (I Quit) but he wouldn’t.  Finally, the bell rang bringing this one to a 30 minute exhaustive finish.  THAT is when Butch finally tapped but at this point it didn’t matter as this was clearly a tie.  From a point perspective, the challengers were one move ahead and could therefore pursue a rematch against the champions.  Regulation took their belts back and with Ruth in the ring with them, held them high as a draw still means that they are still the champions.  The show comes to an end with them standing in the ring and the fans booing.

Thanks for reading. Be sure to follow the ongoing saga that is HCW as things are really starting to shape up.
