HCW Wrestling Newsletter 2018 #700 – Tacoma Thunder - Supershow


Hello fans and welcome back to our newsletter.  Today, we celebrate not only our Supershow but also out 700th issue of the wrestling newsletter.  We are coming to you live from beautiful Tacoma, Washington where the weather is a beautiful 81 degrees.  Our action packed card will have the debut of a new ladies wrestler, a fatal four way for the Ladies title with the one who gets pinned out of HCW, a tag team returns and a main event featuring a triple threat match for the World title.  If Rad Gumbo retains tonight, then neither Buzz nor Starbuck Steel will be able to go after the world title for the remainder of the year or Gumbo’s championship reign (whichever is longer).

The show begins outside in the garage area.  A limo pulls up and then Emmett Millbarge, Cushman Armitage and Master Bull exit.  The fans boo them loudly.  Cushman claps Bull on the back and says that he has a great future planned for his “Master GM”.  The two walk in the door and Emmett then glares around questioningly before following them in.  I wonder who or what he was looking for.

Pyro goes off kicking off our show.  ‘Red Hot’ Lucas Johnston comes out first and the fans pop huge for him.   He gets into the ring and begins to psyche up the crowd but then we hear “VAMPIRE LUNGES FOR EVERYONE!” and out comes Dr. Red Fang and his nefarious manager Ant Graham.  Graham is like the smell from week old seafood…it just won’t go away.  The two made their way down to the ring and the fans booed the crap out of them.  Dr. Red Fang threatened to hit a few of the fans but Graham pulled him to the ring.  Fang immediately attacked Lucas beating him down for 5 minutes until Lucas began his comeback.  Lucas went for a superplex from the top rope but Graham used his cane and hit Lucas in the knee with it.  Lucas fell back into the ring.  Fang jumped down and locked in the spider web lock and after numerous attempts to reach the ropes, Lucas ended up passing out from the pain.  The ref raised and watched Lucas’ hand hit the mat three times.  The ref then awarded the match to Dr. Red Fang via submission at 7 minutes into their match.  Fang and Graham left to booing from the fans.  Lucas was eventually revived but he held his knee and appeared to be in excruciating pain.  He was helped to the back by a couple of ring attendents. 

Backstage, HCW’s ‘real’ owners show up and confront Cushman and Emmett (and Bull).  Mr. B says that Cushman came “this close” to taking it all but he and Mr. M got it figured out and the takeover attempt is over.  Mr. M tells Bull that he will deal with him soon enough.  Tacoma GM Max McGillicutty joins them.  Cushman, desperate to hold on to what he has, offers the owners a solution that can be solved by a match.  He says he will pick one person to represent him and Emmett and the owners can pick one person to represent them and the winner of the match gets HCW.  Cushman tells them that if they don’t accept this, he will take the denial of his buyout to the appeals court and tie up HCW and all its assets so they cannot run shows anymore.  Mr. B and Mr. M confer with Max and it’s agreed.  The match takes place as the main event of the PPV at the end of the month.            

Our next match is ready to go.  Lady Hermann makes her way out first and she is booed all the way to the ring.  Next, the music changes to an upbeat tune and out comes the newcomer Hayley Hailstone.  She gets a pretty impressive pop from the crowd and she shakes hands with the fans as she makes her way around ringside.  She even hugs a few of the kids at ringside.   She looks up to the ring and sees Lady Hermann pacing in the ring.  Hayley is wearing a shirt that reads on one side “Size Matters Not” and on the other, Behold the power of the Hailstone”.  She removes her shirt and hands it to one of the kids.  She slides into the ring and is ready for her match.

The fans pop as Hayley gets the win in her debut match.  She high-fives with the fans and makes her way to the back.

GM Max McGillicutty is backstage with the Smashers and their manager MJ.  MJ demands to know who their opponents are for tonight’s match.  Max tells them that they’ve fought them in the past but it has been awhile.  MJ asks if the original Desperados are getting back together because this current version sucks.  Just then, World Tag Team Champions El Chango and Leon Teremoto walk in.  Leon says “So this current version sucks huh?  When was the last time YOU got a pin or submission win against this sucky team?  Let me tell you.  NEVER.”  MJ says they got a countout win but El Chango chastises him.  “Do you understand what pin or submission mean?  Anyone can swing a foreign object and cause someone to get counted out but if you look at the standings, the last time we met, WE walked away victorious, not you.  If you really thing you’re the ‘shit’ around here and want another shot at us, put your careers on the line and we can see who the better team is and who truly sucks.”  El Chango and Leon walk off.  MJ and the Smashers storm off.

Our next match of the night is ready to kick off.  The Smashers and their manager MJ make their way out first to booing from the fans.   The music changes and…holy crap…no way!...out comes the Mexicali Flyers – Tornado en Fuego and El Dragon Insano.  They get a HUGE pop from the crowd and they take their time interacting with the fans before getting down to ringside.  The Smashers attack them before the bell and roll them into the ring.  The ref regains order sending Tornado and Smasher #1 to the outside but Smasher #1 is in right away for double teaming on El Dragon.   MJ got involved early and gave the advantage to his team.  At the 7 minute mark, the World Tag Team Champions the Desperados came out and went to go sit at commentary.  The Smashers and MJ both taunted them for their (safety) vantage points.  In the 9th minute of the match, all 4 men were in the ring.  Smasher #1 hits El Dragon with a knee lift, Tornado hits Smasher #1 with an Insuguri, Smasher #2 hits Tornado with a powerbomb and then El Dragon hits Smasher #2 with a dropkick that sent him out of the ring.  The Desperados rushed over and they hit Smasher #2 with a double powerbomb.  They then took off through the crowd much to the fan’s delight.  The ref, oblivious to what just went down, began the count and as soon as he reached 10, it was apparent that even with MJ trying to help, Smasher #2 was not getting back in the ring, so he got counted out.  The Mexicali Flyers get the countout win in their return match and the fans pop huge.  They leave and MJ has a fit in the ring.  Eventually, they gather up their fallen comrade and make their way to the back. 

We go backstage with ‘The Singapore Sensation’ Matt Preacher and his team of Nix Anderson, Hardcore Hensen and Vanilla Zombie.  Preacher says that it’s unfortunate that Vanilla got left off this show but he promises that at the PPV, she will tear Violet Valkyrie to shreds and just like that, she’ll be gone.  Tonight, Anderson and Hensen get those dumbassess Davis Hoffmeister and Magnum Kone again in the ring.  Preacher is so confident in his team’s ability to win tonight that he tells Davis that if somehow they lose, HE will leave HCW but if Hoff and Kone lose, then they have to break up as a team.  If they are man enough, they’ll accept.  Everyone laughs except for Vanilla Zombie who just keeps staring at the camera.

We cut to a different area backstage and Davis and Magnum are cutting their own promo but they catch the tail end of Preacher’s threat.  “What do you think Magnum?  I know we wanted to do one more run at the tag belts but this could be our way of getting Preacher out of here for good.”  Magnum tilts his head in deep thought and then says “yes, we agree to the terms.  You lose, you’re out of here.  We lose – by PIN OR SUBMISSION ONLY – then we break up.  I think we want the tag titles more than you so I think we know who’s going to win.”  The two men shake hands and get ready to head to the ring.

Preacher’s Posse consisting of Hardcore Hensen and Nix Anderson make their way out first to the ring and they are booed all the way down.  Preacher points to his head that he has something in mind that will bring a win to his team.  Next, Davis ‘the Hoff’ Hoffmeister and ‘the King of Cones’ Magnum Kone make their way out huge pops from the crowd.  All four men start off in the ring brawling and Preacher got in a cheap shot early that gave the slight advantage to his team.  However, that advantage didn’t help them as any time they went for a pin or submission, Davis or Magnum would make the save.  Every time.  This frustrated Preacher and he decided to play dirty.   After the ref took a bump, Preacher slid a chair into the ring.  Hensen went to use it but Magnum kicked him in the gut and it fell to the mat.  Kone picked it up and the fans popped!  He hit Hensen across the back with a sickening thud and Hensen no-sold it.  Magnum hit him a second time and again, a no-sell.  Magnum kicked him in the gut and then hit the Popsicle (piledriver) right on top of the chair.  That did it.  Magnum made the cover but no one was there to make the count.  Davis rushed over and tried to revive the ref.  The ref crawled back over and counted 1……..2………and Hensen kicked out.  Hardcore tagged out to Nix just as Magnum tagged Davis in and the crowd got lit up as the two traded blows.  Both men then noticed that we were in the final minute of the match and things got serious.

After 30 minutes, the match is declared a draw.

The match comes to an end but this ones doesn’t seem to be over between the two teams but for now, the exhaustion levels settling in, they were content to call it a night.

Backstage, Ladies Champion El Gato Negro was complaining about having to defend her title in a fatal four way.  She sees Emmett Millbarge and asks to try and get out of the match but he said it was already set.  She then asked that if she were to retain, would this count as defending the title 3 times and Millbarge, distracted, said “yeah, sure” and walked off.  El Gato was beaming. 

We cut to another area backstage and the Steel Curtain are there being interviewed.  Starbuck says they’ve put aside their differences and tonight isn’t about which of them becomes the champion as it is about getting the belt off the Cajun lummox Rad Gumbo.  Buzz says they are more united than ever and tonight is about change.  When asked if they happened to see the return of the Mexicali Flyers tonight, they said yes and that it was good to have a solid tag team back on the roster.

Our next match is for the Ladies Title.  First, Ruby Rose comes out to a nice pop from the crowd.  She is followed out by Madame Jade who also gets a nice pop.  Third is Ravishing Raquel and she is booed as she makes her way out.  Finally, the Ladies Champion El Gato Negro comes out and the fans really go sour on her.  She looks at them with sad eyes and then laughs mocking them once they started to show some compassion.  She gets in the ring and in the faces of the other 3 ladies, she holds her title high.  The ref takes the title and reminds us that in this 60 minute match, whoever is pinned is out of HCW.  As soon as the match began, Madame Jade was taken out of the ring and ended up getting put through a table taking her out of most of the match.  That brought it down to a triple threat but then Ruby Rose got injured and she too got sidelined making this a rematch between the former champion and the current one.   Madame Jade joined the fray about 8 minutes in and Ruby joined back in a few minutes later.   We join the match after everyone made it back in.

Ravishing Raquel once again becomes the Ladies Champion and El Gato Negro is officially OUT of HCW.  The fans chant “NA, na, na, na…na, na, na, na, hey, hey, hey…goodbye.”  Raquel takes her belt and holds it high.  She then turns around to see Madame Jade and Ruby Rose standing in her way but then the lights go out and when they come back on two seconds later, Vanilla Zombie is standing in the ring with a chair and has laid out both Ruby Rose and Madame Jade.  Raquel had bailed out of the ring holding on to her title tightly.  She backed up the ring and Vanilla motioned for her to return.  She then turned around and the fans popped when Violet Valkyrie showed up and she and Vanilla began trading blows.  Violet hit a 3 consecutive haymakers and Vanilla decided she’d had enough and bailed out of the ring.  Violet went to check on Ruby and Jade and as soon as she thought they were ok, she took off after Vanilla Zombie who began running to the back with a Valkyrie hot on her tail.

We are backstage with the World Champion ‘the Ragin Cajun’ King Rad Gumbo.  Gumbo first corrects us and says that he’s the undisputed world champion after defeating Buzz Steel.  Now, tonight, he gets both Steel brothers and he’ll show why he is the top dog in this yard.  When asked about the comments made earlier from ‘Big Money’ Ned Rhyerson III, Rad responded with “Who?  Lemme tell ya something mon ami, dis guy tinks he’s big money but he’s not.  He’s counterfit.  Dis guy is nuthin but a band wagon jumper.  I’ve said it before, if ya want ta find me, you know where I am.”  Rad walks off.

It’s time for our Triple Threat Main Event for the World title.  First, Starbuck Steel comes out and the fans pop huge for him.  Next, Buzz Steel comes out and the fans give him an equal reception.  The brothers meet up in the middle of the ring and shake hands.  Just as they are working on getting the crowd psyched up, music changes and out comes King Rad Gumbo accompanied by Queen Alexandria.  The royal couple make their way down to the ring to booing from the fans but Rad doesn’t care.  He gets in the ring and takes his robe off and hands it to his Queen.  He then hands the title to the ref and then starts pulling on the top rope to stretch his muscles.  The ref rings the bell and this one is underway.  For the majority of the match, it was Rad Gumbo vs Starbuck Steel as Buzz got injured early on by Rad introducing him the hard way into the steel post.  Buzz would make a comeback and get some near pin falls.  We now join the match at the 24 min mark.

King Rad Gumbo gets the win and retains the World title.  With this win, the Steel Curtain are now officially out of the World title picture.  Gumbo is joined by his Queen and the two of them celebrate in the ring and they hold the World title high and just as the cameras are ready to shut off, ‘Big Money’ Ned Rhyerson runs in from the crowd and attacks Gumbo beating the exhausted champion down.  Rhyerson keeps Rad on his knees after repeated knee strikes to Rad’s head.  Rhyerson then picked up Rad and hit him with the Billion Dollar Dream.  Rhyerson then stood over the champion as the show came to an end.

Thanks for reading.  Be sure to stay tuned as there is sure to be fallout from this show leading up to our PPV in just a few weeks.
