Tonight, one man – Texas Wildfire or Wilber Townsend - will get a shot at the Unknown Assassin’s TV title.  Before the first match kicked off, there was a promo cut by UA and his squirrely manager ‘the Honorable’ J C Dykes.  Dykes once again complained about the hectic schedule that the GM’s have put up against them but if one man in all of HCW can handle it, it’s the Unknown Assassin.  UA will continue to prove everyone wrong and once he’s exhausted what he wants to do as the TV champ, he will move on to another belt.  “Hell, if Brock Lesnar can wrestle once a quarter then the Unknown Assassin is just THAT much better.”  He laughs as the segment comes to a close.  The Unknown Assassin just stood there (also just like Lesnar).

Pyro goes off and our show is officially underway.  First, the lights go dim and then out and then a single solitary light brightens the stage as Wilber Townsend comes out with his creepy music playing over the loudspeakers.  Man, this guy gives me the shivers.  The closer he gets to the ring, more and more lights come back up and eventually once in the ring, all the lights are on.  Next, the music changes and out comes fan favorite Texas Wildfire.  The fans pop HUGE for this guy as he makes his way down and out to the ring.  Wilber tried to sneak attack TW but it backfired in a huge way.  In fact, it was a total annihilation (180 to 70).  TW dominated the entire match however he just couldn’t get the pin.   This went on for the full 20 minutes of the match and even after hitting a hangman’s clothesline in the final seconds, the time limit was not in his favor and this one came to an abrupt end.  The match ends in a time limit draw.  Just then, JC Dykes and the Unknown Assassin come out and Dykes is laughing.  He says that since neither man couldn’t get the job done, then neither of them deserve a shot tonight.  GM Master Bull then came out to a pop from the crowd.  He tells Dykes that TW totally owned that match and should rightfully get a shot tonight (huge pop from the fans) however, he didn’t get the job done in time and the time limit expired.  He says that he could make the main event a 3 way fight for the TV title (Dykes complains and the fans aren’t that thrilled) but he won’t do that either.  He says that the only way to settle this is to have a sudden death rules match.  He will give TW and Wilber 10 minutes to declare a winner or UA will get the night off with no repercussions.  The fans do NOT like that.  The ref restarts the match.  TW stays in control for the first couple of minutes but then Wilber begins to battle back like a mad man.  3 minutes in, both men hit the ropes but then crash into each other.  The ref begins to count.  Wilber is back to his feet by the 6 count and TW at the 7 count.   Wilber hits a lifting forearm smash but TW hits the ropes, jumps to the top rope, leaps and hits a high cross-body.  He connects and hooks the leg as the ref counts 1-2-3.  Texas Wildfire gets the win.  The fans explode in acknowledgement.  The ref raises TW’s arm but then the Unknown Assassin hits the ring and attacks Texas Wildfire.  UA beats him down and then throws him repeatedly into the steel post.  Texas Wildfire is really beat up.  The Unknown Assassin leaves and TW is helped to his feet and to the back.  (20 min first match; 5 min second; 5 min for aftermath).

We go backstage as there seems to be an altercation going on.  Starr Vixen and El Gato Negro are really going at it throwing each other around backstage.  Finally security and Master Bull intervene.  Bull says that these two can’t seem to co-exist in the same federation and he feels that moving one to Tacoma won’t solve anything so at the PPV, one of the two of them will be OUT of HCW however, if the match ends in a draw and there is no decisive winner, both of them will be out.

We cut to the outside and a limo pulls up.  The door is opened and out comes the interim World Champion ‘the Ragin Cajun’ King Rad Gumbo with Queen Alexandria.  Tonight is the contract signing between him and World Champion Buzz Steel to determine the Undisputed World Champion.  A little kid runs over and asks for an autograph and Rad pie faces him pushing him out of his way.  DAMN, what a jerk!

Our next match is ready to get underway.  First, ‘Top Gun’ Justin Winger comes out to a pretty decent pop from the crowd.  He got the fans pumped before the music changed and out comes Talon McFrost.  Talon is booed as he makes his way down to the ring.   The two wasted no time in getting this one started.  Winger held his own until about the 10 minute mark when he got tossed out of the ring.  As Talon distracted the ref, the 5th Column made their way down through the crowd and beat Winger down.  They left almost as quickly as they appeared.  Winger managed to make it back in the ring before the 10 count but wasn’t on his A-game.  Talon tried to take advantage of the beatdown but Winger hung in there and took whatever Talon dished out.  Finally, the bell rings bringing this one to a draw finish.  Talon wanted to continue the match but Winger hit him with a flying dropkick that sent him careening out of the ring.  Winger gets a ‘good job’ pop from the crowd.  He then made his way to the back.  (20 min draw)

The Regulators along with their manager Ruth Heartless and the Banker storm into Master Bull’s office and bitch about not having a match yet for the PPV.  Bull says that he hadn’t thought about it but if they really want opponents, they can have Elitism.  The Banker complains about not being at the PPV either and Bull tells him that he can have Elitism go find a partner and then the 6 man titles can be on the line.  The Banker stammers and then backtracks saying that his knee has been bothering him a bit and maybe the rest will do him good.  They then leave the office.

Our next match begins with 5th Column member Baron von Blood making his way down to the ring.  The fans boo him but he doesn’t care.  Next, Sonic Blade comes out and the fans pop for him.   Sonic continues to glace to the back keeping a watchful eye out for any interference from the Baron’s teammates.   This one was another hard fought match with both men staying pretty neck and neck for the entire match.  They both traded control but the other would battle back.  Another 20 minutes pass and other match comes to a draw finish.  The rest of the 5th Column didn’t come in from the crowd this time but from the back and the Baron, Oswald Zimmerman and Karl Braun collectively beat down on Sonic until a chair-wielding Justin Winger comes out and the Column bails.  Winger takes a mic and calls the Column cowards for attacking them individually.  Sonic gets to his feet and says that he, Winger and Texas Wildfire will be ready for the Column at the PPV.  Sonic wished TW good luck in his match tonight with the Unknown Assassin but nothing will change the fact that they will kick the asses of the Column.  The fans pop as Winger and Sonic head to the back.  (20 min draw; 5 min for the aftermath)

We cut to the outside again and a new limo pulls up.  Out first comes Starbuck Steel followed by his brother the ‘real’ World Champion Buzz Steel.  The little kid runs up to Buzz asking for an autograph but Buzz politely declines.  The kid started to walk away and compared Buzz to Rad.  Buzz heard this and asked what he meant.  He told Buzz what Gumbo did and Buzz got a little hot.  Buzz (and Starbuck) then took 10 minutes to talk to the kid, sign autographs, took pictures with both him, his friends and family.  Now THAT is how a World Champion should behave.  Buzz and Starbuck head inside.

Our next match begins with two members of the Snake Pit – Tobias and Niven Snake coming out first to a mixed reaction from the crowd.  Next, Elitism (‘The Elitist’ Reid Rothchild & ‘Rowdy’ Roderick Rothchild) along with their manager the Ambassador come out to booing from the crowd.   The two teams go at it almost immediately and battled each other pretty strong seeking an advantage but nothing ever transpired even with the Ambassador getting involved.  At the 16 minute mark in the match, the other Snake brother Leiton comes out and confronts Niven and Tobias.  Leiton tells Tobias he needs to choose.  He refuses.  Niven gets into Leiton’s face.  The Ambassador goes over and begins to jaw jack with them.  Both Leiton and the Ambassador are on the ring apron.  Leiton pushes the Ambassador who crashes into the ref who came by to see what was going on.  The ref thinking that the Ambassador hit him on purpose then disqualifies Elitism.  He awards the match to the Snake Pit via disqualification.   Leiton and Niven continue to have words but Leiton ends up storming off.  Niven and Tobias follow separately.  (16 min via DQ)

Master Bull is in his office and calls in Biceps Bannerman and Angry Jack Lawson.  Bull tells them that in one week, they will meet in a steel cage at the PPV.  He warns them though that if there is any physical altercation between them then their match is off and the instigator will be fired.  He tells the two of them to go find separate areas backstage and just stay out of each other’s way for the next 7 days.  The two of them leave.

Our next match is ready to get underway.  First, Kimberly Kiccsass comes out first and she gets a decent pop from the crowd.  Next, Taylor Bella comes out and the fans boo her all the way to the ring.  She sneers at them but mostly ignores them.  She gets in the ring and the match begins almost immediately.  For about 15 minutes, the two of them were practically even.  After that, Kimberly whipped Taylor into the ropes and she hit the corner turnbuckles hard and then fell back in the ring.  Taylor tried for a sitout facebuster but Kimberly successfully neutralized that.  Kimberly hits a Toronto Slam and went for a pin but Taylor kicked out at 2.   Kimberly then went for a back-mounted chin lock but Taylor managed to negate that.   Taylor went for a rolling leglock but Kimberly reversed it and hit a double knee lift.  The bell then rang before she could go for the pin.  Another match ends in a draw.  Taylor leaves pretty quickly.  Kimberly, a tad frustrated, leaves shortly thereafter.  (20 min draw)

Backstage, Texas Wildfire is backstage and says he’s fine and will show the Unknown Assassin why he’s a Wildfire.

It’s time for our contract signing to determine the undisputed World Champion.  GM Master Bull comes out first.  Next, the interim World Champion ‘the Ragin Cajun’ King Rad Gumbo comes out accompanied by Queen Alexandria.  They both mockingly wave to the crowd and the fans boo.  Gumbo is decked out with his crown and robe.  They get in the ring and then mock the crowd from the safety of the ring.  Finally, the World Champion Buzz Steel comes out and the fans pop pretty huge for him.  Bull explains the details for their match next week at the PPV saying it will be a 60 minute, no DQ match as there must be a winner.  Buzz is the first to sign the contract and then lazily throws the pen at Rad who gets all gruffy.  He stands up and stretches (wait, signing a contract requires him to loosen up?  Really?)  He leans over and signs the contract.  Buzz stands up and the two of them are face to face.  Rad removes his cape and in the process, notices something attached to it.  He removes it and it looks like it’s a listening device.  Gumbo then says that this is how Buzz was able to track him and be at all the places he wanted to go…by placing a bug on him.  Buzz corrects him and says that it wasn’t a bug but a snitch who gave him the scoop…it was…Queen Alexandria!  Gumbo’s eyes go all wide.  The Queen accuses Buzz of lying and not to believe a word that comes out of his peasant mouth.  Gumbo shockingly looks back and forth between Buzz and Queen Alexandria and then shakes his head.  He throws his hands up and leaves.   Queen Alexandria follows him calling after him.  Buzz smiles and then leaves followed by Master Bull.

It’s time for our main event.  First, Texas Wildfire comes out and the fans pop huge for him.  He makes his way to the ring and once inside, climbs the turnbuckles for all 4 corners to even greater pops from the crowd.  The music changes and out comes manager JC Dykes followed by the TV Champion the Unknown Assassin.  The crowd boos him pretty heavily and UA makes his way to the ring as Dykes flips off random fans.   UA immediately attacks Wildfire trying to get an early advantage in.   It worked for about 4 minutes but then the TW kicked it into overdrive and began to own the champ.  7 minutes in, Dykes grabbed TW’s leg wrapping it around the steel post.  UA pulled him back up but TW hit a leaping DDT and got a 2 count.  UA clips TW’s bad leg and the match went back in favor of the champ.  After a few minutes, Wildfire got the feeling back in his leg and hit a hangman’s clothesline but only got a 2 count.   UA hits an English forearm strike and rolls up TW but only gets a 2 count.  After more back and forth, UA hits a fireman’s carry roll and tried for another pin but TW kicked out again.  We get into the final minutes of the match and Wildfire hits a superplex.   He gets up and UA locks in a standing crossface.  The bell then rings bringing this one to (yet another) draw finish.  The Unknown Assassin retains his title via the draw.  He and Dykes then leave.  TW hobbles around the ring interacting with the fans as the show comes to an end.

Just before it all ended, we cut back to Master Bull in his office.  He is in a good mood and appears to be happy with the way the show went tonight.  He gets a call and it’s from co-owner Mr. Meyers.  Bull is told, in what was a very quick call, to keep his eyes and ears open as the winds of change appear to be in motion.  When Bull asked for more clarification, the call ended.  I wonder what that was all about.

Stay tuned as we have one final show before the PPV.  Things are really shaping up for a great show.
