Hello fans and welcome
back to our next installment of HCW’s Tacoma Thunder. Today, we deal with some
of the fallout of last night’s PPV. As a
recap, King Rad Gumbo defeated Ned Rhyerson III (with ‘help’ from Master Bull)
to keep HCW securely in the hands of its owners. This also means that the threat that was
billionaire Cushman Armitge and his stooge Emmett Millbarge has effectively
been squashed and GM Max McGillicutty is securely back in charge. The PPV also showed the true colors of US
Champion Jacques Beannot when he turned on his tag team partner and mentor Drew
the Canadian Love Machine and sided with the diabolical ‘Singapore Sensation’
Matt Preacher. Tonight, Jacques asked to
address the fans in regards to the decision he made.
Today’s show
begins with some pyro followed by the US Champion Jacques Beannot and his
manager Matt Preacher making their way out to a shower of boos. Jacques is really put off. He takes a mic and impatiently taps his foot
waiting for the noise to die down but it doesn’t. He tells the fans to quiet down so he can
speak and that only incites them all the more.
Finally, a break comes and he takes advantage of it.
“First, I’m going
to speak my mind. When I started, you
fans cheered Drew even though I'm the bigger star. You Canada and US fans can
stick it. From now on, I am and always will be French and damn proud of
it. In fact, I'm renaming MY title as
the International Title of France. If
you don't like it, tough!” He then
translated it for his French speaking fans.
“Quand j'ai commencé, vos fans ont applaudi Drew même si je suis la
grande star. Vous, les fans du Canada et des États-Unis, pouvez le coller. À
partir de maintenant, je suis et je serai toujours français et fier de lui. En
fait, je renomme mon titre en titre international de la France. Si vous ne
l'aimez pas, dur!” Jacques holds his new
title high over his head and Preacher stands off to the side laughing. Eventually they both leave.
Backstage,
Protocide cuts a promo saying that his former drill sergeant will be leaving a
little lighter tonight. The gold he’s
carrying will change hands and he promises that the pain and suffering Hensen
put him through in basic training will be paid back in spades.
More pyro goes off
as the first match of the night begins.
First, we hear the ear-piercing shriek of “Ice Dagger Baby” play through
the loudspeakers. Ice Dagger makes his
way out to the ring to booing from the crowd.
Next, Outback Oscar comes out to a pop from the crowd. He makes his way down to the ring and then
enters it. Oscar was successful in
controlling the first part of the match but then Ice Dagger got in a cheap shot
and for a few minutes, he held his own but Oscar eventually fought back and
destroyed ID. After a short arm
clothesline from Ice Dagger couldn’t shut down Oscar’s offense, he decided to
end it by locking in a full nelson but then dropped Ice Dagger face first on
the mat. He rolled him over and got the
3 count. Outback Oscar gets the win and
has his arm raised in victory. ID sulked
to the back. Oscar stayed at ringside a
few moments before heading to the back also. (15 min)
Backstage, Davis ‘the
Hoff’ Hoffmeister is cutting a promo and has a few words for his opponent
tonight. “Ivan Dra.blah.blah. You think
that attacking me costing me and my partner our match is going to make me fear
you? On the contrary, all you’ve done is
piss me off. You can’t run and hide
because tonight, you get me 1:1 in the ring and tonight, I’ll show you why ‘the
Hoff’ is the ‘sensation sweeping the nation’.
Next up, we have
Adam Jameson and Billy Robbins making their way out to the ring to a nice pop
from the crowd. They barely make it into
the ring before we hear “It’s smashin’ time” and out comes manager MJ and the
Smashers. They are booed as they make
their way down to the ring. MJ directs
them to immediately attack Adam and Billy but for 4 minutes, Billy and Adam
fought the Smashers off until MJ interfered giving his team the advantage and after
that, it was all Smashers. After they
got tired of toying around with AJ and Billy, Smasher #2 hits Adam with a
double handed choke and he goes for the pin.
Billy tried for the save but Smasher #1 rushed across the ring and
knocked Billy of the apron. Smasher #2
gets the 1-2-3 and the Smashers are back on their way up the tag team
rankings. (16 min)
We cut to
pre-recorded comments from the Axe. Axe
got bludgeoned by a chain after his match yesterday with Dr. Red Fang and he
was not a happy camper. Axe promised
that with his dying breath, he would rid HCW of the vampire and his jerk-off of
a manager Ant Graham. Axe says that
anytime Fang wants another piece of him, he’ll be ready.
Our next match was
the final one put together by Emmett Millbarge before he lost all control of
HCW. We get to see two favorites in
action. We are to assume that this will
be for ranking placement in the Ladies division. First, Ruby Rose makes her way out to the
ring to a nice pop from the crowd. After
she got done psyching up the crowd, her opponent Hayley Hailstone comes
out. Hayley also got a nice reception
from the crowd. She made it to the ring
and the two ladies shook hands as the bell rang starting this one off. The match was evenly matched and neither woman
seemed to give an inch. The end of this
short match was pretty spectacular to watch.
As the 6th minute of the match began, Hayley goes and nails a
Tornado DDT however, it didn’t seem like Ruby’s head hit the mat as she was up
almost immediately and hit an inverted DDT of her own. She hooked both legs and was able to get the
1-2-3. Ruby Rose gets the win and the fans pop.
Ruby goes over and helps Hayley to her feet and the two shake
hands. Hayley leaves rubbing her neck as
Ruby celebrates briefly with the fans before leaving. (6 min)
Violet cuts a
promo saying she’s ok but she wants Vanilla’s head on a platter. She says that if it weren’t for Preachers
interference, she would have won. Maybe
she and Vanilla need to settle this inside the confines of a steel cage.
Our next match
gets the green light and Ivan Dragovich makes his way out first to booing from
the crowd. Next, Davis ‘the Hoff’
Hoffmeister comes out and the fans pop huge for him. He makes his way down to the ring and as he
enters, Ivan bails. Davis does his thing
in the ring and the fans pop louder and louder.
Ivan starts off with trying for a Samoan drop but Davis reverses it and
bodyslams Ivan. Davis hits a monkey flip
but Ivan connects with a fallaway slam.
Davis is up and hits a piledriver.
He goes for the pin but Ivan powers out.
Davis hits a roundhouse kick but Ivan hits him with a jumping side kick. Ivan goes for the pin but Davis kicks out at
2. Ivan hits another fallaway slam but
Davis hurls him out of the ring. Ivan,
frustrated, grabs his Russian chain and as Davis was trying to bring Ivan back
into the ring, Ivan hits him with the chain resulting in a
disqualification. Davis gets the DQ win
but Ivan continues to hit him with the chain.
He began whipping Davis with it and we could see the welts start to
surface on his skin. Ivan then set Davis
up in the corner. He wrapped the chain
around his fist and then plowed it directly into Davis’ face breaking his
nose. Davis dropped to the mat and we
could start to see the blood flow.
Magnum Kone rushed out to his partner’s aid. Ivan, unable to keep up his attack, left with
his blood smeared chain. Medics had to
come out and provide aid and help Davis to the back. The fans looked on in concern. (4 ½ min)
We make our way
backstage with the Hardcore Champion Hardcore Henson and his manager ‘the
Singapore Sensation’ Matt Preacher.
Henson is pacing and Preacher asks him what is wrong. “It can’t be…there is no way it can be him.” Preacher tries to get Henson to clarify. “Who is this guy and why are you so flustered
by it?” Henson just shakes his head and
then looks at Preacher. “You don’t get
it. I saw him DIE. You know, we were on a train and he fell
into an abyss…” Preacher looked at
him. “That was a Captain America movie.” Henson replied “Art replicates life sometimes”
and he walked off with Preacher looking on.
We go back to the
ring for our next match. First, ‘Bad
News’ Marvin Barnes comes out first and he is booed. He flips off the fans as he makes his way
down to the ring. Next, the music
changes and out comes ‘Red Hot’ Lucas Johnston.
The fans pop huge for him as he makes his way down to the ring. Barnes takes offense at the reception Lucas
has gotten so he attacks him. For 11
minutes Barnes controlled the match but then Lucas began to battle back and
with every offensive move, the fans popped louder and louder. At the 16 minute mark, Lucas climbed to the
top turnbuckle and launched connecting with a flying body press. He made the cover and got the 1-2-3. Lucas gets the win and the fans pop
accordingly. Barnes tried to attack
Lucas afterwards but Lucas reversed an irish whip and sent Barnes tumbling out
of the ring. Lucas celebrates as Barnes,
grumbling, makes his way to the back.
(16 min)
We start in hospital following TNT.
He goes to a room and enters. SJ is unconscious and has the usual hospital
equipment. Sitting there is a woman and she greets Templeton warmly and uses
his name. He explains he wanted to see
SJ and starts to describe the match and asks why SJ hates him. The woman takes
Templeton by the hand and says, '”he doesn't hate you. You see, Scooter J sees a younger version of
himself in you and he has mentioned this to me numerous times. He sees a great potential in you and wants to
motivate you to be bigger and better than your brothers. He truly feels you can lead the way as part
of wrestling’s future. He does
understand that wrestling is an art and longs to be part of shaping it. I don’t know if you know this but SJ did
start off as, what do you call it…the job squad. He took his beatings and found a mentor and
learned the ropes. He got here because
of what he learned and hoped you would do the same.” TNT just sat back and took it all in.
It’s time for our
main event. Tonight, the Hardcore title
will be on the line. First, the challenger
Protocide comes out and the fans give him a decent pop. Next, a disheveled Hardcore Hensen makes his
way out with his manager ‘The Singapore Sensation’ Matt Preacher. Henson keeps shaking his head in
disbelief. He makes his way into the
ring and Protocide meets him face to face in the middle of the ring. A conversation begins and then the fists
begin to fly.

were making their way up the ramp, Hardcore turned around and saw Protocide
making it back to his feet. He could not
believe what he was seeing and then ended up backing up the ramp. Protocide ended up making his way to the back
under his own power.
Just before the
cameras stopped rolling, we get a treat.
GM Max McGillicutty comes out and introduces Phoenix GM Master
Bull. Both men get a pop from the crowd.
Max
says that the owners kept him in the dark about Master Bull so that everything
(plan C) would play out the way it was intended. Bull apologized for the chair shots he
delivered to Max but he was told to “sell” it so he did. Bull says he’s glad the charade is over and
he can go back to managing the Phoenix brand.
Bull says that a major announcement will be made at the Phoenix show
which was being pushed back one day to 8/30.
With
that, the show comes to an end. We are
intrigued by what the announcement could be so be sure to stay tuned.
