Hello fans and
welcome back to the next installment of the HCW Wrestling Newsletter. Today’s show comes to you from Tacoma, WA in
our final stop before Wednesday’s House of Horrors PPV in Phoenix, AZ. Today, we will actually have 3 Elimination
Chamber qualifying matches with one being from visiting Heat members. We will also have two title matches that will
see the Hardcore and Tag Team titles defended tonight. So without further ado, let’s get the action
started.
Pyro goes off and
our first Elimination Chamber qualifying match is ready to go. First, TV Champion Nix Anderson comes out
accompanied by his manager ‘The Singapore Sensation’ Matt Preacher. They are booed as they head down to the
ring. Anderson is quick to grab a mic
and say that his title is NOT on the line.
Next, the music changes and out comes Protocide. He gets a pop as he heads down to the
ring. He gets in and right into Nix’s
face. The champ actually took a step
back from the muscle bound masked man.
The bell rings and Nix immediately distracts the ref allowing Preacher
to bludgeon Protocide with a foreign object.
Nix goes for the quick pin but Protocide kicks out. Protocide connects with an elbow smash but
Nix drags his opponents face across the ring ropes. After a couple of minutes, Preacher gets
involved again. Protocide was going for
an elbow smash but Nix reversed it and hurled him into the ropes where Preacher
threw a powder in his face. Blinded, he
fell back into the ring. Nix went for
the pin again but still only got a 2 count.
Nix continued to dominate the match until Protocide locked him up for a
test of strength but a low blow kick from Nix broke the hold and Nix blasted
Protocide with a smash from his ukulele.
He went for the pin and this time, grabbed a handful of tights and got
the 1-2-3. Nix Anderson gets the win and
Protocide will be going into the chamber.
(9 min)
Phoenix GM Master
Bull walks in and greets the Tacoma roster.
He then heads into GM Max McGillicutty’s office.
We head to the
ring for our next Elimination Chamber qualifier. First, Sarona Reiher comes out to a mixed
reaction from the crowd. Their tune
changes when smoke fills the stage and like a rocket, out comes Violet
Valkyrie. The fans pop as Violet rushes
down to the ring and slides under the bottom rope. As she climbs the turnbuckle, the fans
pop. The match started pretty quick and
Violet held the advantage until she got tossed over the top rope and landed
hard on the outside. Sarona went after
her throwing her into the ringside barrier and steps before taking her back
into the ring. Sarona dominated for only a few minutes before Violet got a second
wind and began to take the fight back to her opponent. Violet began going on a serious offensive run
but then she was distracted when Vanilla Zombie came through the crowd. Distracted, she didn’t see Sarona come up
from behind and then plant her into the mat with a huge powerbomb. Sarona went for the pin and got the 3
count. The fans are shocked as it will
be Violet heading into the chamber.
Sarona leaves and Violet gets to her feet shaking the cobwebs out of her
head. Vanilla then attacks her locking her up on a very painful submission
move. Violet is tapping out but this isn’t
a match. Vanilla’s manager Matt Preacher
joins her in the ring and gets her to relent.
Preacher says that in 3 days, Violet will be tapping out once again to
the superior athlete that is Vanilla Zombie.
The fans boo and they leave.
Violet is helped to the back. (15
min)
Backstage, ‘Big
Money’ Ned Rhyerson III runs into Drew the Canadian Love Machine. Ned laughs at the memory of him beating Drew
in such quick fashion. Drew tells Ned to
put his money where his mouth is and challenges him to a match tonight. Ned says that if Drew wants to get beat
again, he’d be happy to oblige. Ned
walks away.
Our third Elimination
Chamber qualifier match is up and features two ladies from the Phoenix Heat
roster. First, out comes Leslie Grimes
who gets a decent pop from the crowd.
Next, her opponent Taylor Bella comes out to booing from the fans. Taylor has a mic in hand and blasts Tacoma
calling it a cesspool. This got the fans
even more riled up. Taylor finished with
“Well, if you get all wound up after a little insult, how mad are you going to
be when I win tonight?” The fans booed
even louder. Taylor controlled the match
for the most part for the first 12 minutes of the match but then Leslie fought
back and began to own the former Diva’s Champion. In fact, Leslie began pounding the hell out
of Taylor much to the delight of the fans.
After the 20th minute, Leslie owned Taylor going for pin
attempt after pin attempt but the former champ kept kicking out or making it to
the ropes. As the match progressed and
the time limit was nearing, Leslie hit a Lou Thesz press (2 count) followed by
an Australian uppercut (1 count). Taylor
then tried for a sitout facebuster but Leslie fought out of it and planted
Taylor in the middle of the ring with a DDT.
She went for a pin and this time was able to get the 3 count. Welp, it looks like Taylor is going to the
Chamber. Once she recovered, she didn’t
seem too happy and the fans mocked her as she made her way to the back. (27 min)
Back in Max’s
office, Bull and Max are sitting with the Wicked Prophet. The GM’s state that they’re not happy the
Prophet is taking on matchmaking duties but since King Rad Gumbo gave him the
option to pick the World Champs next opponent, they said they would allow
it. They ask WP who he wants as Gumbo’s
next opponent and after some brief contemplation, he chooses ‘The King of Cones’
Magnum Kone. Max and Bull seem impressed
and says that match will happen.
We head back to
the ring for our next match. First, out
comes ‘Big Money’ Ned Rhyerson III and the fans boo the holy hell out of
him. He flips them off and gets into the
ring. Next, Drew the Canadian Love
Machine comes out and the place goes absolutely bonkers. Ned doesn’t seem to care for it so just as
Drew was getting into the ring, Ned attacked him taking the fight to the
outside. He threw Drew into the steel
steps and then removed the ringside padding and bodyslammed Drew on the exposed
concrete before rolling him back in. The
bell rings and Drew is at a serious disadvantage. Ned dominated for 12 minutes but then Drew
got his second win and just like the champ we know him to be, began to utterly
destroy Ned. At the 16 minute mark,
Drew hit the Lover Bomb and almost got the 3 count but Ned got his foot on the
ropes to stop the count in the nick of time.
Drew connected with a superkick but Ned hit an elbow smash. Drew connects with a powerbomb for another
near fall but Ned kicked out. Ned
stumbled to his feet and then Drew began laying into him with a series of
slaps. The fans counted up to 10 of the cringe-worthy
sickening sounds and Ned fell to the mat.
Drew made the cover and got no resistance as the 3 count is made. Drew gets the win and the fans pop even
louder than before. Drew celebrates with
the fans as Ned makes his way to the back.
(19 min)
Backstage, the
Wicked Prophet is with the man challenging for the Hardcore title Ivan
Dragovich. Ivan gets all mad at WP
wondering why he wasn’t chosen to face King Rad Gumbo for the World Title. The Wicked Prophet said that Ivan has is
hands full with not only a match for the Hardcore title but with an upcoming
match against ‘the Hoff’ Davis Hoffmeister.
Ivan says he excels at multitasking and will defeat Hensen tonight for
his belt and then put Davis back in the hospital so bad he’ll never want to
return.
Also backstage,
Elitism (‘The Elitist’ Reid Rothchild and ‘Rowdy’ Roderick Rothchild) confront
the Axe and Superstar Chic Monroe. They
say that they are supposed to be next in line for a title match but Axe tells
him “Too bad, you snooze, you lose”. Axe
then decks Reid and an all-out melee ensues.
GMs Max McGillicutty and Master Bull come over and demand to know what
is going on. It is disclosed that the
Axe threw the first punch even though Reid was taunting him. Bull then says that Axe just cost his team their
title shot tonight. Axe tried to
complain but Bull tells him he’s fortunate that he doesn’t lose their shot
altogether. Axe leaves and Chic follows.
Well, it seems our
tag team title match has changed. The
Ambassador comes out first and leads Reid and Roderick down to the ring. The
fans boo as they showboat in the ring. The
music changes and out comes the World Tag Team Champions the Mexicali Flyers
(El Dragon Insano & Tornado en Fuego).
The fans pop as the champs shake hands with the fans as they make their
way to the ring. The bell rings pretty
quick and Elitism takes the fight to the champs right off the bat. With the Ambassador’s help, for the first 7
minutes, the challengers dominated but then Tornado en Fuego took the sneaky
manager out of the equation and then the champs began a comeback. Backed by the fans, it was like they could go
all the way. 12 minutes in, an exhausted
Tornado en Fuego tagged El Dragon in.
While Reid distracted the ref, Roderick ran over and knocked Tornado
from the ring. He then handcuffed him to
the ringside barrier. He then picked up
a chair and smashed it into El Dragon’s leg.
Reid immediately capitalized and locked in the Figure Four Reid
Lock. El Dragon tried to make it to the
ropes but Roderick would pull them both back into the center of the ring. With no one to help and after a minute of
being locked in the painful hold, El Dragon had no choice but to tap out. Elitism gets the win and becomes the NEW
WORLD TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS! (14 min)
Their celebration
is short lived however when GM Master Bull comes out and lets Elitism know that
before they get to go home, they will have to defend the titles here tonight
against these men. The Axe and Superstar
Chic Monroe rush out and the bell rings just as they entered the ring. The new champs were pretty worn out from
their previous match and that allowed the new challengers to take control of
the match. It seemed like the titles
could have changed hands again but a last minute intervention from the
Ambassador (wielding a chair) hit the Axe with it causing him to stumble. Roderick grabbed him and nailed an airplane
spin. After dropping him, Roderick went
for the pin and put his feet on the second rope for leverage. The ref didn’t catch it and counted
1-2-3. Elitism not only win the match
but are successful in their first title defense. The champs and their manager leave before any
‘instant replay’ would put their win in jeopardy. (12 min)
The Axe and Chic left disappointed.
Backstage, the
Wicked Prophet is with the Hardcore Champion Hardcore Hensen.
WP: I’m here with the Hardcore Hensen. How’s it going champ?
HH: How’s it going? What are you, a teeny bopper? Do you see this title I’m carrying? I am the HARDCORE Champion. This means I am the toughest person in this
sport. I’m the meanest guy you’d never
want to meet in a dark alley.
WP: Tonight, you defend your title against Ivan
Dragovich, a tough competitor in his own right.
HH: He’s not tough, he’s soft and I’ll prove
it. You can’t be all that good when you
lose to an ex-cowboy (referring to Davis Hoffmeister).
WP: And after this, not only do you have a future
match with Protocide, at the PPV in 3 short days, you take on Scooter J and TNT
alongside your tag team partner the TV champion Nix Anderson.
HH: More crap we have to deal with. First this Russkie thinks he deserves a shot
at my title; some masked moron paid for plastic surgery to look like someone
from my past and finally we have to deal with Scooby Doo and Scrappy.
WP: You mean Scooter J and TNT.
HH: I meant what I said. Scooby Doo, you should have just stayed in
the hospital and called it quits. Now
you get to deal with the fallout that Nix and I will inflict on you. If you think you’re last stay in the hospital
was bad, you ain’t seen nothing yet.
Hardcore Hensen
walks away. The Wicked Prophet turns to
the camera “Back to you at ringside”.
It’s time for our
main event. First, Ivan Dragovich comes
out and the fans boo him. He’s just not
a very likable person. Next, the
Hardcore Champion Hardcore Hensen comes out with his manager ‘the Singapore
Sensation’ Matt Preacher but Preacher remains on the stage as he is not allowed
at ringside for this match. The match, a
street fight, should have favored the champion but Ivan was all over him. The two traded control of the entire match
that went a full 30 minutes. Towards the
end, Ivan began to own the champ and Hensen struggled. He then called for help and Nix Anderson came
out. Since this is a no DQ match, Nix
tried to interfere but the ref stopped him and sent him from the ring. While that was going on, we see someone come
in from the crowd. It’s Davis
Hoffmeister. Ivan gets distracted and
Hensen uses the fatal flaw and hits Ivan with a powerslam. He hooks the leg getting the 1-2-3. Hardcore Hensen gets the win and retains his
title. He tries to showboat but his
celebration is cut short when TNT and Scooter J hit the ring and they fight all
the way to the back.
Back in the ring,
Ivan begins to recover and sees Davis slide into the ring. Ivan stands up but Davis has a chair so Ivan doesn’t
approach. Davis has a mic and says that
Ivan finally bit off more than he can chew.
Davis says that their match at the PPV has to be unsanctioned because he
still has yet to be cleared for action.
Davis goes on to say that since Ivan loves trying to mess with his face
and remove his protective gear, he has to dig deep into his bag of tricks to
ensure nothing happens. Davis pulls
something out of a bag. “In order to
keep this protective gear in place, it has to be secure. For one night only, (he holds a mask up for all
to see) the STACHE returns!” The fans
pop is so loud it is deafening. Ivan
looks worried and ends up leaving. Davis
places the mask on and the fans go nuts as the show comes to an end.
Our PPV is up
next. Stay tuned.
