Hello fans and
welcome back to our newsletter. You may
have noticed that we did not have any shows posted last week. Due to scheduling conflicts in both Tacoma
and Phoenix, we attempted to reschedule the shows but nothing was available
outside of a bingo hall and we weren’t going to do a disservice to our fans so
we just opted to cancel those shows and just start back up tonight.
Tonight’s show
kicks off backstage where Davis Hoffmeister storms into GM Max McGillicutty’s
office. Davis demands a match at the PPV
against Ivan. Max tells him he is not
cleared to return to action as of yet.
Davis strenuously demands the match and says he’ll even play by Ivan’s
rules and it can be a “Russian Chain Match”.
Max once again says that medical has not and probably will not clear him
before the show. “What do I have to do?”
Davis asks. Max thinks about it. “Well, I know this match will be a great one
but if you’re not willing to wait, we can do this as an unsanctioned
match. Basically, HCW will not cover you
or Ivan if additional injuries occur.
You’ll be on your own.” A smile
crosses Davis’ face. “Where do I sign?” The camera fades to black.
Pyro goes off and
we ready to start the show. First, we’re
in for a tag team treat. Hardcore
Champion Hardcore Hensen and TV Champion Nix Anderson come out first with their
manager ‘the Singapore Sensation’ Matt Preacher. The fans boo the crap out of them. Nix and Hensen take turns flipping off the
fans but Preacher heads back behind the curtain. Next, the fans pop pretty loud when TNT and
Scooter J come out. SJ is taken aback by
the welcome he’s getting from the fans. The
begin to make their way down to the ring high-fiving the fans until Preacher
comes back out armed with a steel chair and immediately goes after TNT and
Scooter J. He only gets a couple of
shots while Hensen and Anderson return and after a quick beat down, they roll
TNT and SJ into the ring. The attack is
short lived when a gaggle of refs rush out to prevent further damage. Preacher and his team laugh and begin to walk
off but that brings out GM Max McGillicutty.
Max tells Preacher and his goons that he thinks this was planned from
the start and should consider suspending all three of them and strip Hensen and
Anderson of their titles. Scooter J gets
on the mic and tells Max he has a great idea for tonight. SJ says that Max should put Anderson on the
card tonight to defend his TV title against TNT. The fans pop.
Max says the match is on. SJ also
says that they officially want Anderson and Hensen at the PPV. Preacher immediately agrees on behalf of his
team. SJ then says that since the PPV is
all specialty, it will be in a steel cage.
Preacher, Hensen and Anderson begin to flip out. Max says the match is official and there is
nothing that Preacher or his goons can do to get out of it. Max adds that if Preacher interferes in the
PPV match, both Anderson and Hensen will be stripped of their titles. Preacher and his team make their way to the
back. TNT and SJ leave shortly
thereafter.
The Wicked Prophet
is backstage and he is with the ITF champion Jacques Beannot.
WP: Jacques, tonight, you are in a match with
Texas Wildfire but your title isn’t on the line. What is will be a qualifying match to see who
will be going to the chamber.
JB: I don’t know who came up with that
abomination of a structure but someone with my good looks and stature should
not be in a hellacious construction such as that. Tonight, I will get the win not just because
I’m the champion representing France but because I’m better than Wildfire. Tonight, that wildfire will be a pile of
ash. (Jacques then turns and leaves)
WP: Well, that was the ITF champion for you. Next, I’d like to bring out his opponent for
this evening. Texas Wildfire, welcome.
TW: Hello to you Mr. Prophet. Jacques was out here talking up a big game
and he does have a lot of talent but tonight, I make a name for myself by
defeating him, staying out of the Elimination Chamber and then climb back up
the rankings to earn a shot at that very belt he holds.
WP: Just playing devil’s advocate here but what
happens if you lose tonight and have to go to the chamber. Your career will be on the line.
TW: I’ve never been one to overstay my welcome
but I’m not done in HCW by a long shot.
If I happen to leave tonight with a destiny to be in that chamber then
so be it but understand, I’ll be representing Tacoma 100% and we will make sure
that Tacoma earns the victory.
WP: Thank you Texas Wildfire for you time. Back to you in the ring.
It’s time for our
Elimination Chamber Qualifier. First,
ITF champion Jacques Beannot comes out with his manager ‘the Singapore
Sensation’ Matt Preacher. The duo are
booed pretty heavily as they head down to the ring. Next, the music changes and out comes Texas
Wildfire. The fans pop pretty loud for
him and he makes his way down to the ring and he is all business. Right when the bell rang, Preacher was a
little slow in leaving the ring and when Texas Wildfire went over to help usher
him out, Preacher slapped TW across the face.
Wildfire’s eyes went all wide but before he could retaliate, Jacques
clipped TW at the knee. Wildfire went
down. Jacques then locked in the French
Cloverleaf and then he grabbed the ropes for extra leverage with Preacher
assisting from the outside. The ref was
too busy checking on TW to see the blatant cheating. Wildfire had too much pressure put on the leg
that he had no choice but to tap out.
Jacques lets go and the fans boo as the ref and Matt Preacher raise the
champs’ arms in victory. Jacques gets
the submission win and Texas Wildfire goes on to the Elimination Chamber. (2 min)
We cut backstage
and the Wicked Prophet is talking this time to Violet Valkyrie. He asks Violet what she thinks she may pick
as the stipulation for her match against Vanilla Zombie. “There are so many choices. I would do a steel cage but that is already taken. First Blood…nah. I don’t want her to bleed and have it end our
match. I want to inflict pain. I Quit is a nice option but then again, so is
a scaffold. Can you imagine poor little
Zombie dangling 20 feet over the ring?
That would be a nasty fall. You
know, I’m not sure it matters as I just want her in the ring. I’m sure something will work itself
out.” The Wicked Prophet says “Thanks
Violet for that insight and now back to the ring for more action.”
Our next match is
ready to go. First, ‘Big Money’ Ned
Rhyerson III comes out and the fans boo him.
As soon as he hits the ring, the music changes and out comes Adam
Jameson. The fans give him a pop and he
heads down to the ring. Rhyerson tried
to attack AJ but he quickly turned the tables on Ned and took the match to
him. Ned struggled but AJ owned
him. 5 minutes into the match, Adam
connects with the Adam Bomb and he makes the cover getting the 3 count. Adam Jameson gets the win and begins to celebrate
but then Ned attacks him from behind.
Ned slaps on the Billion Dollar Dream trying to put AJ out but the fans
pop when Drew the Canadian Love Machine rushes out and gets Ned off of AJ. Drew goes to check on Adam but he too is
attacked by Ned. Drew manages to fight
him off and hurls him out of the ring.
This brings out GM Max McGillicutty once again and Max tells us that we
have our next Elimination qualifier in a week and it will be Ned Rhyerson vs
Drew the Canadian Love Machine. The fans
pop. Ned grumbles under his breath and
leaves. Drew leaves shortly
thereafter. (5 min for the match; 5 min
for the aftermath)
Backstage, TV
Champion Nix Anderson is grumbling about having to defend his TV title
tonight. He’s pacing the room and his
manager Matt Preacher tells him to just sit.
Matt reminds Nix that he’s defeated TNT once before and tonight will be
no different. Nix nods and settles
down. He and Preacher then begin to
discuss strategy as the camera fades out.
We head back to
the ring for our next match. The winner
of this match gets the ability to pick the stipulation for their upcoming PPV
match. First, Vanilla Zombie comes out
with her manager ‘the Singapore Sensation’ Matt Preacher. They are booed as they head down to the
ring. The fans change their tunes when
fog fills the stage and they pop huge when Violet Valkyrie comes out. She psyches up the crowd and then rushes
down to the ring sliding under the bottom rope.
Vanilla Zombie and Matt Preacher bail out of the ring. Violet continues to get the crowd pumped up
and finally Vanilla re-enters the ring. Vanilla
attacks her and beats Violet down but slowly but surely Violet begins to battle
back. Preacher began to panic and
provided a distraction but it backfired on him with Violet punching him and he
fell back on his derriere. She slides
back in the ring only to get caught by a chokeslam. Vanilla goes for the pin with a handful of
tights and her feet on the ropes and she gets the 1-2-3. She then locks Violet in a camel clutch and
as Violet struggled against it, a scream sounded through the loudspeakers “I
Quit….I Quit”. Vanilla lets her go. Matt Preacher gets back in the ring. Preacher gets on the mic and says that Violet
is a quitter and to prove once and for all that she is that, the stipulation of
Vanilla’s match against Violet will be an I Quit match and that once Violet
taps out again, it will be the end of her and she can leave in disgrace. Vanilla and Preacher laugh and leave. Violet recovers and leaves too. (11 min)
We go to the back
once again and reporter the Wicked Prophet is with TNT this time. The Prophet tells TNT he calls it as he sees
it and says that TNT is no match for Nix Anderson. TNT tells him he’s deluded and tonight, not
only will he embarrass Nix, he will take the TV title too. Wicked Prophet says that will be a cold day
in hell but TNT says that they are already there so it will happen. TNT walks off and WP just shakes his head.
The action resumes
as our next match begins. First,
Superstar Chic Monroe comes out to a pop from the crowd. Next, Perfect Pecs Stoddard comes out and
after flexing his pecs and getting booed for it, he grumpily makes his way down
to the ring. He immediately attacks Chic
and for 7 minutes he dominates but then Chic turns the tables on him and takes
the match to Pecs. The two continue to
battle but kick it into a higher gear once they see they are closing in on the
time limit. As we entered the final
moments of the match, Pecs choked Chic in the corner but gets dropped by a
bicycle kick. Chic then hits a giant
swing and goes for the pin but the ref only gets to a two count before the bell
rings bringing this one to a draw finish.
Chic seemed a little disappointed (Pecs was relieved) but the fans
popped for him as he left the ring. (20
min draw)
The Huber Clan are
backstage and Butch says he’s representing the clan and wants to know who,
between Junior and Ferb, who will be joining him. Junior and Ferb do Rock, Paper, Scissors
(Lizard, Spock) and Junior wins (with Spock).
Junior says that the Mountain Man cometh and the clan brings home the
gold tonight. Butch stares at him
shaking his head.
Our first title
match of the evening is ready to take place.
First, TNT comes out to a good sized pop from the crowd. He gets into the ring and then motions for
his opponent to come out. Next, TV
champion Nix Anderson comes out with his manager ‘The Singapore Sensation’ Matt
Preacher and they are booed all the way down to the ring. Nix immediately gets in the ring and stands
toe to toe with TNT before throwing the first punch. The match was extremely close at times with
both men getting near fall pin attempts but somehow the other managed to kick
out in the nick of time. This went on
for the entire match and before we knew it, we were approaching the time
limit. 19 minutes in, Nix hits the
Nixinator but TNT viciously eye rakes him to prevent a pin attempt. TNT lifts Nix up for a standing suplex but
then Preacher jumps up on the apron and throws powder into TNT’s face. Nix falls on top of TNT and hooks the
leg. The ref counts 1…2…3 just before
the time limit expired. Nix Anderson
gets the win and retains his title. Just
then, Hardcore Hensen comes running down and gets into the ring and begins
beating TNT down but Scooter J comes out with a chair and chases the two of
them off. He helps TNT to his feet and the two of them glare at Nix and Hensen
who are walking up the ramp laughing.
(20 min)
We head to the
back once again for an interview with the World Tag Team champions the Mexicali
Flyers. The Wicked Prophet is front and
center and asks the hard question: “How
do you think you’ll fare against a team as tough as the Huber Clan? I mean, they have, what, a combined 200 lbs
on you? How do you expect to overcome
that?” El Dragon Insano and Tornado en
Fuego start gibbering among themselves and then El Dragon speaks up. “You know Meester Prophet, we are the
champions of the world. We hold the most
prestigious 2 person title in all the world.
We fought hard to get here. We
are not giving up.” Tornado en Fuego
then chimed in. “Meester Wicked, not
sure why you feel you must insult us. We
are the best team and you make it sound like we don’t have a chance. Once we are done, you will change your tune. Ariba!”
The Flyers leave and head to the ring.
The Wicked Prophet looks at the camera and says “Those guys are gonna
get squashed” and he just shakes his head.
It’s time for our
Main Event. First, the Huber Clan
(Butch, Ferb and Junior Huber) all come out but Ferb remains on the stage as
his brothers head to the ring. He then
leaves. Next, the music changes and the
fans pop HUGE as the World Tag Team Champions the Mexicali Flyers come out.
They are zipping all over the place high-fiving the fans. Both men slide under the ring and each climbs
a turnbuckle holding their titles high.
Both do back flips into the ring landing on their feet. The Hubers, unimpressed, hit each of them
with a running clothesline. The Flyers
roll out of the ring. They take a moment
to recover and end up back in the ring so the match can begin. They Flyers hadn’t totally recovered so the
Huber’s took advantage for the first 7 minutes of the match. After a 3 minute double team on Butch, he
makes the hot tag to Junior but the Flyers double team him also for 3
minutes. The fans were solidly behind
the champions and popped huge for every high spot. 21 minutes into the match, Junior pulled
Tornado en Fuego out of the ring and hit a huge chokeslam putting him through
the Spanish Announce table. While the
ref went out to check on Tornado, Ferb Huber ran down and attacked El
Dragon. Insano fought him off and for
about 30 seconds, held his own against the clan stunning them with lefts and
rights until the numbers became overwhelming.
Ferb left the ring after hitting a DDT.
Junior comes in and hits the Mountain Man Cutter but Insano drops him
with a DDT. Junior rolls to his corner
and tags in Butch. Butch threw El Dragon
out of the ring and then launched with a suicide dive to the floor. He grabbed El Dragon and rolled him back
in. Butch throws El Dragon to the ropes
and hits a big boot to the face. Butch
goes for a European uppercut but El Dragon reverses it and throws Butch out of
the ring. Butch made it to his feet and
heard a noise. He turned only to see
Tornado en Fuego charging at him and hits a spear right up against the steel
steps. WAM! Tornado climbs back up to his corner and
tells the ref to count. The ref ends up
counting to 10 and awards the match to the Flyers via countout decision. Ferb runs back down and he and Junior help
Butch to his feet and help him to the back.
The Flyers remained and celebrated with the fans as the show comes to an
end but then Elitism (‘The Elitist’ Reid Rothchild and his brother Roderick
Rothchild came out and stared at the champs.
The show ended with no altercation.
Thanks for
reading. Phoenix Heat will be here in a
few days’ time. Stay tuned.
