HCW Wrestling Newsletter 2018 #705 – Phoenix Heat


Hello fans and welcome to the “go-home” show before this weekend’s PPV Reign of Champions.  Before the show begins, we have some news to go over.

First, Emmett Millbarge thinks Sarona Reiher did such a great job (even though she lost) in her match with Hayley Hailstone that he wanted her moved to the Tacoma roster.  In her place, he opted to send Scarlett Phoenix down to the melting pit that is Phoenix AZ, home of the Phoenix Heat show.

Second, there was a battle royal that took place at an offsite show (not televised) that had Leiton Snake get the win after eliminating El Dragon Insano.  After the match, Leiton is attacked by Niven Snake.  Leiton dumps him out of the ring.  He grabs a mic and tells Niven “I’m the ‘Seth Rollins’ of the group and you’re the ‘Roman Reigns’.”  BURN!  Tobias, who was standing at ringside, asks “Who does that make me?”  Leiton tells him “You’re the freakin Lunatic Fringe Dean Ambrose dude!”  Tobias is like…”well…ok.”

At that same show, there was a backstage altercation between TV Champion Nix Anderson and the Unknown Assassin.  Anderson attacked the Assassin and the two had to be separated.  Anderson told UA that he would put the TV title on the line on the 8/22 Heat show.

The show begins with pyro going off.  Otto Ruthless comes out first and the fans boo him as he walks down to the ring.  Next, ‘the King of Cones’ Magnum Kone comes out pushing his ice cream cart down to the ring.  He hands out a few cones and then enters the ring.  Otto attacks him and the match begins.  The attack is thwarted almost immediately and Magnum beat Otto all over the ring.  Otto tried to get away but Magnum kept up the attack and called for the popsicle (piledriver) hitting it in the middle of the ring.  He makes the cover and gets the 3 count.  Magnum gets the win and then leaves the ring to hand out more ice cream and then heads to the back.  (5 min)

We head backstage where the Steel Curtain (Buzz and Starbuck Steel) are cutting a promo against tonight’s opponents the Mexicali Flyers.  The winner of the match tonight is next in line for a shot at the tag team titles.  Buzz says that it’s been a while since the Flyers have been here and look forward to the match with the veterans.  Starbuck leans in and says “Word” as the segment ends. 

Our next match is ready to go.  First, Wilber Townsend makes his way down to the ring as the lights dim and he’s carrying a lantern.  He gets on the mic and reminds us that his “blood” TNT is wrestling against Scooter J and he’d better not let the family down.  TNT comes out to a pop from the crowd and enters the ring.  He takes the mic from Wilber and says that he doesn’t care what Wilber thinks…he is NOT a Townsend anymore.  He is TNT.  The fans pop.  Wilber says that TNT needs a warm up match and then motions for the bell to ring for this impromptu match.  The two family members fought all over the ring and actually took it to the time limit with no resolution.  The bell rang bringing this one to a draw finish.  Wilber then sat back and began to laugh.  TNT looked at him like he’d lost his mind.  He kept laughing and when TNT walked over and asked what the hell he was laughing at, TNT is blindsided and attacked by his PPV opponent Scooter J.  Wilber sat there and laughed as an exhausted TNT tried to fight back but fell victim to the onslaught from Scooter J.  Scooter J hit TNT with a superkick and then stood over him as the fans booed.  Scooter J flipped off the fans and left.  Wilber got up and laughed some more before leaving.  TNT was helped to his feet and then helped to the back.  (20 min draw; 5 extra for the additional segment)

Backstage, the Mexicali Flyers (Tornado en Fuego and El Dragon Insano) (via subtitles) say they are happy to be back and look forward to taking on the Steel Curtain.  They are excited to have a shot at the titles and they feel that this may be their final run so they will make it count.

We head to the ring for the next match.  First, 5th Column member Baron von Blood comes out to booing from the crowd.  Next, the fans pop huge as Texas Wildfire makes his way down to the ring.  He climbs each of the turnbuckles getting the crowd psyched up.  The match begins with TW totally owning his opponent but to the Baron’s credit, he kept kicking out of all the pin attempts.  Wildfire kept the pressure on and it took 19 minutes but TW finally got a pin after locking in a standing armbar and turned it into a pin.  Baron von Blood was too exhausted by this time and succumbed to the 3 count.  TW gets the win and the crowd popped for him as he made his way to the back.  (19 min)

The Unknown Assassin is backstage with his manager J C Dykes and Dykes says that Nix Anderson is a coward and once he is done with him, he’s sending Anderson home in a pine box.  Dykes says that if Matt Preacher tries to interfere in this match, he’ll slap him into next week.

Our ladies match is up next.  Scarlett Phoenix makes her way out first and gets a pop from the Phoenix crowd.  She seems content in her new home.  Next, the Duchess makes her way out and the fans boo her.  She sneers and yells back at them as she makes her way to the ring.  The Duchess attacks Scarlett by throwing her right into the steel post.  She began working over Scarlett’s arm and even though she tried to fight her off, the Duchess kept the pressure on.  At the 5 minute mark, the Duchess locked in the All Hail her Majesty and used the ropes for extra leverage making Scarlett tap out.  The Duchess steals a win and laughs as her arm is raised.  The Duchess begins to jawjack with the fans from the ring but she turns around and Scarlett hits the Black Widow.  The Duchess is out.  The fans pop as Scarlett makes her way to the back.  The Duchess eventually gets up and then storms to the back.  (5 min)

TV Champion Nix Anderson is backstage with his manager ‘the Singapore Sensation’ Matt Preacher and he says that Dykes and the Unknown Assassin are a bunch of crybabies.  UA lost the belt fair and square and now he’s mad and stomping around pouting.  Nix holds the TV title up and says that it’s not going anywhere and he’s walking out with his title.  Preacher then addresses Dykes’ comment and laughs saying that Dykes slaps like a baby so he has nothing to worry about but if he wants a piece of him, he won’t be hard to find.

Our next match on the card is the Steel Curtain vs the Mexicali Flyers for the next shot at the Tag Team titles.  The winning team gets their match at the PPV too.  First, the Mexicali Flyers come out to a pop from the crowd.  After they made their way to the ring and got the crowd psyched up, the music changed and out comes the Steel Curtain.  As Starbuck and Buzz made their way out to a pop from the crowd, they are immediately attacked from behind by Elitism – Reid and Roderick Rothchild.  They beat down the Curtain and then turn and leave.  Medics came out from the back to check on the Curtain and were asked if they thought they could continue.  Buzz and Starbuck both said yes.  They made it to the ring, shaken but still standing.  The match begins with El Dragon Insano hitting the Guerrero stomp on Buzz.  Buzz makes the tag to Starbuck.  ‘Buck hits the ring and hits the Out of this World dropkick but El Dragon hits him with a neckbreaker but gets a near fall with a 2 ½ count.  Buzz is tagged back in.  Buzz hits El Dragon with a reverse neckbreaker but El Dragon catches him with the neckbreaker.  Tornado en Fuego hits the ropes and knocks Starbuck off the apron.  El Dragon makes the cover and gets the 3 count.  The Mexicali Flyers get the win and will not only get the next tag team title shot against tonight’s winners but get to do it at the PPV.  Congrats to the Flyers.  (3 min).  The Flyers help the Steel Curtain up and end up shaking hands. The fans popped HUGE.  They all eventually left.

The World Tag Team Champs the Desperados say that they have a heavy week with a title defense tonight and a potential defense in just a couple of days.  Leon Teremoto says that Croc and Oscar are good but they are not at their level.  El Chango says he tried to go for a singles title and failed so tonight, Croc and Oscar will get his full attention and he and Leon are walking out the champs not only tonight but will retain against the Flyers on Sunday.  Leon says “See you then”.

The TV title defense is next.  First, the Unknown Assassin and ‘the honorable’ J C Dykes come out and they are booed and heckled all the way to the ring.  Next, the TV Champion Nix Anderson and his manager Matt Preacher come out and they are equally booed.  Nix smirks as he makes his way down to the ring.  He gets in the ring and walks to the center and gets in the Assassin’s face and holds the title mere inches from it.  Nix laughs and then steps back holding his title high.  He hands it to the ref and this one is ready to go.  For 4 solid minutes, the two traded blows back and forth.  Things got interesting at the 5 min mark.

The Unknown Assassin wins with a Punch referee over Nix Anderson via disqualification. 

The Unknown Assassin gets the win but since the title does not change hands on a DQ, Nix is still the TV Champion.

Both men and their managers eventually left the ring.

Master Bull is with Ned Rhyerson and he talks about how they’re going to take the belt off the Cajun, send him packing, and then rule HCW with an iron fist.

It’s time for our main event.  First, the Crocodile Hunter and Outback Oscar make their way out to a pop from the crowd.  Next, the champs the Desperados – El Chango and Leon Teremoto – make their way out also to a pop from the crowd.  The match began almost immediately and the champs kept the upper hand for the majority of the match.  Croc and Oscar got in some good shots but the double teaming from the champs relegated them to playing defense.  At the 7 minute mark, El Chango caught Croc with a flying spinning heel kick and immediately hooked the leg getting the 1-2-3.  The champs retain their belts in a relatively short match.  Both teams left with the Desperados getting the final pop before heading behind the curtain.

The show isn’t over yet as we have our contract signing between the World Champion Rad Gumbo and his PPV opponent ‘Big Money’ Ned Rhyerson III.  The table is set up and Emmett comes out with Master Bull and Ned.  Gumbo comes out with Tacoma GM Max McGillicutty.  There is a bit of jaw jacking before both men signed the paper confirming their match this Sunday.  Emmett began to mock Max and Max grabbed a chair and began to chase Emmett to the back.  Master Bull attacks him and the two begin to brawl.  Meanwhile back in the ring, Gumbo and Ned also begain fighting and took their fight out of the ring and began heading to the back.  Ned slams Rad’s head against the the wall and then throws Gumbo off the stage.  HOLY SH*T! chants rang out from the crowd.  The show ends with Ned standing on the stage looking down at Gumbo in a crumbled heap on the concrete floor below.

The PPV is next.  Stay tuned.
