Hello fans and
welcome back to another installment of HCW’s Tacoma Thunder. The hostile takeover of HCW continues with
billionaire Cushman Armitage trying to strong arm his way into taking over from
the existing owners. Armitage has been
using not only his lackey Emmett Millbarge but managers such as ‘The Singapore
Sensation’ Matt Preacher, Ant Graham and MJ to plant seeds within the roster
which could swing the takeover into his favor.
With Preacher, Graham, MJ and Millbarge all sowing the seeds of insurrection
with the promise of ‘glory’ in the future, it seems that nearly 50% of the
roster appear to be backing Cushman. If
Armitage can get 51% of the roster behind him, he will have everything he needs
to pull off the heist of the century.
Folks, if this happens, this will be worse than when Negronomicon took
over the then HWF and CSWA but almost ran it into the ground due to
mismanagement and he was a wrestler. Armitage has no background in wrestling
and we fear what he may do if he takes control.
Our show begins
with GM Max McGillicutty making his way into the building but he is stopped by
Cushman Armitage and Emmett Millbarge.
Max says he’s going to his office and HE will be running tonight’s
show. Millbarge gets into his face and says
that won’t be happening as he is holding a “writ of habeas corpus” and it’s
preventing Max from being backstage tonight.
Max, frustrated, leaves the way he came.
Emmett says he’ll do the same thing to Master Bull in Phoenix and the
old guard will make way for the new.
Our first match of
the night is kicked off with tag team action. First, Outback Oscar and the
Crocodile Hunter make their way out to a pop from the fans. They make their way down and into the
ring. Next, manager MJ comes out as new
music plays “It’s Smashing Time” and out comes the Smashers. They are booed as they head down to the
ring. They immediately attack Croc and
Oscar to kick this one off. MJ gets
involved early by eye gouging Oscar with peanut shells. Oscar gets in an offensive shot before the Smashers
double team him. After the double team,
Oscar makes the hot tag to Croc but as soon as he enters the ring, MJ trips him
up at the ropes setting up Smasher #1 to hit the Steel Smasher. He makes the cover and gets the win. The Smashers are victorious and the fans boo
as their music plays and MJ pumps his team up.
Everyone eventually leaves. (6

Backstage, Ruby
Rose is being interviewed and she says that she won the #1 contenders match
against Vanilla Zombie and she is officially challenging Ravishing Raquel for
the title at the Supershow on 8/5. When
asked what she’ll do if/when she wins the Ladies title, Ruby said “I’ll be
going to Disneyworld!”
Our next match is
ready to go. First, Protocide comes out
to a pop from the crowd. Next, ‘the
Singapore Sensation’ Matt Preacher comes out and is followed by both Nix
Anderson and Hardcore Hensen. Anderson
is in the match tonight but Hensen must be there for…moral support? Hensen goes to sit at commentary. Anderson is handed his ukulele and he tries
to play and sing for the crowd but Protocide snatches it from him and as Nix is
grabbing for it, Protocide hits Nix’s hand with the musical instrument. He then discards it and as soon as the bell
ring, Protocide slaps on the Super Soldier Test of Strength and Nix TAPS
OUT. Holy Crap that was fast! Protocide gets the win in only 30
seconds. He goes to leave but Hensen is
there blocking his way. Anderson gets on
the mic and calls Protocide a cheater and demands a rematch right here and
now. Protocide shrugs his shoulders and
returns to the ring. Protocide takes
early advantage and continues to work on Nix’s hand. Nix manages to hit Protocide with the ukulele
and goes for a pin but Protocide POWERS out of the pin attempt. Nix is shocked. The match continues with Protocide getting a
pin attempt but Preacher got Nix’s foot on the ropes. Preacher got involved slapping Protocide in
the face and received a headbutt that knocked him off the apron. Nix began strutting around the ring and
Protocide locked in the Super Soldier Test of Strength but this time, Nix made
it to the ropes to break the hold before he could quit. Protocide hits an elbow smash but Nix hits
the Acoustic Equalizer. He hooks one of
Protocide’s legs and gets both of his feet on the ropes for leverage and gets
the 1-2-3. Anderson immediately rolls
out of the ring and is flanked by his manager and tag team partner who laugh at
outsmarting Protocide. Eventually, the
ring is cleared. (12 min)
Backstage, the
World Tag Team Champions are discussing Leon doing a singles match tonight.
They are then approached by an interviewer who asks about them defending their
tag titles. El Chango comments that the
Machines were supposed to get the next title shot. Leon adds in “But their performance in the
ring was so miserable that they don’t feel they should be next.” All of a sudden, Davis ‘the Hoff’ Hoffmeister
and Magnum Kone walk in and they say that if the Desperados need someone to
fight, they are here now and ready.
Emmett Millbarge storms in saying that no one but him gets to make up
matches. He says he likes the idea of
this but it won’t be tonight. Emmett
tells the 4 men to come back next week and they will have their match. Emmett walks off.
Our next match
begins with one half of the Tag Team Champions Leon Teremoto making his way
down to the ring. The fans pop for
him. Next, Billy Robbins makes his way
out and the fans also pop for him. Once
in the ring, the two men shake hands and this one begins. Leon controlled the pace of the match and it
seemed that the longer it went on, tempers began to flare. By the time 18 minutes had rolled around,
both men were slugging it out in the ring.
Billy hits a flying bodypress but Leon immediately slaps on a side
headlock. He then picks Billy up and hits a standing suplex holding Billy in
the air for what seems like an eternity before bringing him crashing to the
mat. Leon was exhausted by this time and
it took time for him to try to make the cover but the bell rang bringing this
one to a draw finish. Both men made it
to their feet and looked like they wanted to continue but shook hands and then
left. (20 min draw)
Backstage, Mason
the Mangler is with his manager and Mason issues a challenge tonight to ‘Red
Hot’ Lucas Johnston for his spot in the Hardcore title lineup. Mason says that Lucas has to accept or he’ll
be laughed out of HCW.
Our in-ring action
continues with the British Crippler making her way down to the ring first. She comments on her return to HCW and how she’s
put in a match against a newbie and how she cheated to win. She demands that this time, she is given
someone with a better pedigree. Out
comes Scarlett Phoenix. Scarlett gets a
huge pop as she heads down to the ring.
The British Crippler tries to attack but Scarlett was expecting it and
fought back. Scarlett took the match to
the Crippler who could not believe she was being outsmarted. She tried to leave the ring once but Scarlett
rolled her back in. The British Crippler
rushed the ropes but Scarlett caught her with a flying dropkick. Scarlett made the cover and got the 3
count. Scarlett gets the win and
immediately rolls out of the ring to avoid being attacked further. The British Crippler began kicking the ropes
in frustration and then eventually left.
(10 min)
Backstage, the Axe
is talking with his tag team partner TNT.
Axe tells him that Scooter J is a bully who whines when he doesn’t get
his way and then tries to put people into uncomfortable situations. Axe tells him that he does not have to accept
the stipulation that if he loses, he must retire. TNT shakes his head and says that it is time
for HIM to stand up to bullies and says that he will teach Scooter J a lesson
he won’t soon forget.
The next match
begins with Mason the Mangler and his manager Ant Graham making their way down
to the ring. Graham gets on the mic and
says that since Lucas hasn’t responded, he must be a coward and afraid to fight
the Mangler. The music changes and out
comes ‘Red Hot’ Lucas Johnston to a HUGE pop from the crowd. Lucas rushes the ring and Mason and Graham
bail. Lucas says that he accepts and
even wants this as no DQ. Lucas
controlled the match for the first few minutes but then Graham stuck his nose
in and things went the Mangler’s way.
Graham continued to be a thorn in Lucas’ side until he decided he’d had
enough and socked the manager a good one making him a non-factor for the rest
of the match. Lucas then began an
offensive run but then Dr. Red Fang rushed out and he and Mason double teamed
Lucas. Since his is a no DQ match, there
wasn’t anything the ref could do. The
two ghouls then set up Lucas and Mason hit a stiff piledriver in the middle of
the ring. Fang snarled at the fans and
Mason made the cover securing the 3 count.
Mason gets the win and moves up in the rankings and Lucas moves
down. After the Ghouls collected their
manager and left, Lucas made it to his feet and after getting what seemed like
an even louder pop than when he came out, he made his way to the back to get
his neck looked at.
Backstage, the US
Champion Drew the Canadian Love Machine is cutting a promo saying he’s looking
forward to all challengers for his belt but tonight he gets to face Adam
Jameson. He puts Adam over as deserving
the shot and looks forward to their match tonight.
Also backstage,
Jacques Beannot is watching the promo and he turns away in disgust. He almost runs right into ‘The Singapore
Sensation’ Matt Preacher. Preacher tells
him that he is right in thinking that Drew is hiding from him as he knows what
sort of threat he would be. Preacher
says he knows as he’s seen him up against both Nix and Hardcore Hensen. Matt hands him a card and says that if he’s
ever looking for a change in scenery, give him a call. Preacher walks off but after a moment of
pondering, Jacques drops the card and walks off too.
It is time for our
main event. First, Adam Jameson comes out
to a decent pop from the crowd. Next,
the music changes and out comes the US champion Drew the Canadian Love
Machine. The pop Drew gets almost blows
the roof off the place. He makes his way
down to the ring, nods to AJ and then climbs each of the turnbuckles to even
louder pops from the crowd. After his
final crowd psyche up, Emmett Millbarge comes out and the fans boo. Emmett says that he’s here to ensure that no
funny stuff happens and he sits at commentary.
Drew controls the match from the get-go and has Adam on the ropes the
majority of the time. Emmett then gets up and lambasts the ref for not calling
Drew out on his illegal tactics. AJ
then hits a low blow on Drew and then hits the Adam Bomb. He makes the cover and gets the 3 count. Adam Jameson has just become the NEW US
CHAMPION!!! His celebration though is
cut short when Jacques Beannot comes out and says that he is the rightful
challenger and wants his title shot RIGHT NOW!

With that, the
show comes to an end. Stay tuned as things continue to heat up.
