HCW Wrestling Newsletter 2018 #693 – Phoenix Heat – the fallout continues


Hello fans and welcome back to another installment of HCW’s Phoenix Heat.  Well, the fallout does continue with billionaire Cushman Armitage and his lackey Emmett Millbarge showing up in Phoenix.  Cushman shows up backstage and meets up with Master Bull.  The billionaire tells him that his services won’t be needed for tonight as Emmett will take the show as Bull has prepared it and will run it tonight.  Bull tells him that he won’t be going anywhere as he’s planning on sticking around “just in case”.  Cushman tells him that there will be no need but if Bull has nothing better to do on a Wednesday evening well then, he can go find a crate to go sit on and watch how things are done.

Pyro goes off and the fans pop until Emmett Millbarge makes his way out.   The fans immediately turn sour.  Emmett introduces himself as the future GM and then asks the question “Why manage a retail store when you can manage TWO wrestling territories?  Tonight, Master Bull (gets a pop) set up the show and we’re going to still run with it as is but believe you me, there will be a changing of the guard and then watch out WWWWWWWWWE, we’re gunnin’ for you.”  Millbarge leaves and the fans actually pop when he decides to head to the back.

Our first match is ready to kick off.  Making her (latest) Phoenix roster debut is none other than the Duchess.  She comes out and the fans boo her.  Once in the ring, she flips them off. The music changes and out comes the former Ladies Champion Madame Jade.  The fans pop for her as she makes her way down to the ring.  Numerous fans are holding signs that read “Madame Jade is the real champion” and “Madame Jade got the Montreal screwjob treatment”.  She climbs into the ring and the Duchess immediately attacks her but Jade immediately fought her off and took the Duchess to school only letting her get in 2 moves during the first 5 minutes.  The schooling continued but the Duchess began using some underhanded tactics to get the upper hand.  The Duchess hit quite a few Hair Pull and toss and Jade finally got tired of it and dragged the Duchess face across the ringrope.  The Duchess fell into the middle of the ring screaming. Jade went over and hooked the leg and got the 3 count.  Madame Jade gets the win in dominating fashion.  She leaves to a pop from the crowd.  The Duchess yelled at the ref for the blatant illegal move but he ignored her.  She then socked him and walked off.  (13 min)

Backstage, Tacoma Thunder alum TNT entered Emmett’s (formerally Bull’s) office.  He says that Scooter J has been calling him harassing him and he asks to be added to the card tonight.  Emmett tells him that the card is full but, wait, Master Bull may have known this was coming so it was already penciled in.  Emmett says he’s not the bad guy everyone is making him out to be.  TNT just replies “I wouldn’t know about that…I just work here.”  He smiles and walks off.  Emmett looks at him quizzically. 

Our next match is ready to go.  First, the Banker comes out accompanied by his manager Ruth Heartless.  He is booed.  The Banker whispers something to Ruth and she leaves the ring.  Next, Starbuck Steel comes out and the fans pop huge.  He makes his way down to the ring and upon entering, Ruth runs up behind him and hits him in the arm with a steel chair.  Starbuck is in a lot of pain. Ruth is then ejected from ringside.  She leaves smirking with the chair in hand.  The bell rings and the Banker hits Starbuck with the Foreclosure Frankensteiner.  Starbuck hits the Out of this World dropkick but the Banker drops him with a deposit diving DDT.  Starbuck hits the Buck U neckbreaker but injures his arm.   The Banker then slaps on the ATM fee armbar and wrenches it back to the point of breaking.  Starbuck has no choice but to tap out.  The Banker gets the win via submission.  He takes off laughing with another win under his belt.  Starbuck tries to shake off the numbness and makes his way to the back as the fans give him an appreciative pop.  (3 min)

Backstage in Emmett’s office, the Tag Team Champions El Chango and Leon Teremoto walk in and they request a match. Leon is sure to tell him that the belts are not on the line tonight.  Emmett says that they were already set to wrestle but he will make an adjustment.  If the Machines win, they are next in line for the tag team titles.

We are back to the ring for the next match. First, Texas Wildfire comes out and the fans pop huge for him.  He meets with fans and then enters the ring.  Next, the music changes and out comes the Ambassador followed out by ‘Rowdy’ Roderick Rothchild.  The two are booed as they head to the ring.  The match begins with Roderick hitting the Rothchild stunner.  Next, Texas Wildfire goes for a superplex but that is reversed and hitting an airplane spin for a near 2 count.  The match continues with Roderick dominating however TW stayed within arm’s reach.   Just as we entered the 10th minute of the match, TW hits a bionic elbow but Roderick hits the airplane spin again.  Roderick rolled TW up and put his feet on the ropes for extra leverage and that gave him enough tension to get the 3 count.   Roderick gets the win and celebrates with his manager briefly before leaving.  TW gets an appreciate pop from the crowd as he leaves.  (10 min)

Scooter J is backstage and says that it’s sad that TNT made the trip all the way here only to get his ass kicked.  TNT may have won in their last bout but that all changes tonight and he’ll show the youngster why he’s the Phoenix Phenomenon.

Back in the ring, the next match kicks off with the Machines (B & P) making their way out to a decent pop from the crowd.  Next, the Tag Team Champions the Desperados (El Chango and Leon Teremoto) come out to a nice pop from the crowd.  They waste no time in kicking this one off.  There really was no contest as the champs totally owned their challengers.   The fact that it went so long was a testament to the resilience of the challengers but beyond that, El Chango and Leon made it look pretty easy.  After going 27 whopping minutes, El Chango choose to end it after hitting a shooting star press on Machine P.  The champs dominate another match.  Leon hands El Chango one of the belts and the two get a nice pop from the crowd.   Leon takes a mic and says that they want a team to step up and give them a real challenge.  He says that the team of Davis Hoffmeister and Magnum Kone sound intriguing. The team of Nix Anderson and Hardcore Hensen also seems interesting but after being dispatched by Davis and Magnum, they don’t deserve anything.  Leon says that he has faith that management will find a suitable team when it comes time to defend their belts.  The champs leave.  (27 min)

Sonic Blade is backstage and he says that the TV champion and his manager have been dodging him making excuses to not defend the title against him.  Now that he has a shot, he’ll show them why they’ve been cautious in hiding from him but his time is now.

Our next match is up.  Scooter J comes out first and the fans boo him as he makes his way down to the ring.  He doesn’t seem to care.  Next, TNT comes out and the fans pop for him.  He makes his way down to the ring and high fives them before getting into the ring.  The bell rings and Scooter J hits the ropes hitting TNT with a dropkick. He goes for the pin but only gets a 1 count.  TNT tries to eye rake SJ but its reversed and SJ drops TNT with a clothesline. After a bit of back and forth, SJ hits TNT with a piledriver.  He goes for a pin but only gets a one count.  TNT begins an offensive run but SJ eye rakes him and tries for a pin but TNT was too close to the ropes.  SJ picks him up and chokes him on the ropes.  He slingshots him back into the ring.  He goes for the pin and hooks the tights and puts his feet on the ropes for leverage.  The ref counts 1…2…3.  Scooter J gets the win and he stands over TNT gloating and laughing.  He brushes off his shoulders and then says that they should have one final match with the loser leaving HCW.  He leans down and moving TNT’s mouth, he says “Yes, I’ll fight you” before walking away.  TNT eventually makes it to his feet and follows shortly thereafter.  (8 min)

The TV Champion the Unknown Assassin and his manager the Honorable JC Dykes comment about Sonic Blade and his asinine comments where he thinks that he’s anywhere on par with the champ but it’s good to dream however that dream comes to a crashing conclusion after the blade is dulled and gets his shoulders put to the mat for a three count. 

It’s time for our main event.  First, Sonic Blade makes his way out and the fans pop huge for him.  He converses a bit with the fans and then rolls into the ring.  Next, manager JC Dykes comes out and the fans turn their noses up at him and what is sure to follow…the TV Champion the Unknown Assassin.  The duo are booed all the way to the ring.  As soon as the bell rings, the TV champ distracts the ref and Dykes grabs Sonic leg and pulls him down to the mat and into the corner.  He then wraps Sonic’s leg around the post not once but twice.  That knee isn’t looking good.  Sonic was on the defensive but managed somehow to hobble around on one leg.  UA then began blasting forearm shots to Sonic’s eardrums.    Just when it seemed like Sonic was about to make a comeback, Dykes blows on his whistle distracting everyone.  The Unknown Assassin slaps on a nerve pinch but Sonic makes it to the ropes.  UA then kicks Sonic’s leg out from underneath and he crumples to the mat holding the leg.  UA then began throwing English forearm strikes and then grabbed Sonic’s bum leg and got the 3 count.  The Unknown Assassin is victorious in another TV title defense.  He and Dykes stood tall in the ring.  Sonic rolled to the outside and with the help of the ref, made his way to the back.  Dykes and UA stood in the ring soaking in the venom being spewed at them by the fans.

Scooter J just finished a blistering promo about beating TNT. As the cameras leave, Master Bull comes in, "You don't get it, do you?" Bull says. "Get what?" SJ asks. "Templeton admires you. When his family left him here, and you beat the hell out of him. That little guy worked hard and then you gave him a break, remember? You took him as a partner and accepted him as an equal. Now, your Ego has put him here. In a win or go home match, in front of his family. I hope you're happy." And Bull storms out.

Emmett Millbarge comes out to the stage and announces that the taped part of the show is over and directs the cameras to stop rolling.  After the camera’s stopped running, Emmett began taunting the fans that they are booing the wrong people.  Emmett then says that he’s brought “Big Money” Ned Rhyerson III with him here and the fans will be in for a special treat.   Emmett then issues a challenge to anyone in the back who thinks he’s good enough to take on “Big Money” and one person does and it’s ‘Top Gun’ Justin Winger.  Winger says he’ll show this schmuck what a true superstar looks like.  Emmett sends him to the ring and then calls out “Big Money”.  Ned Rhyerson III comes out and the fans boo the crap out of him.   Ned makes his way to the ring and then enters through the ropes and stands nose to nose with Winger.   The bell rings and Winger goes to town but Rhyerson slowly begins a comeback.  Ned chokes Winger in the corner turning the tide in his favor.  We join the match at the 5 minute mark.
