Hello fans and
welcome to another installment of HCW’s Phoenix Heat. The show kicks off backstage with GM Master Bull
talking on the phone. He hits “play” on
the VCR (yep, he’s pretty antiquated) and watches as Apollo Gyze, in his first
match on the Tacoma roster, loses and will be going to the Elimination Chamber. Master Bull laughs and says “Hey Apollo,
don’t let your dress get caught in the door on your way out. HA HA.” He is then interrupted by manager Ant
Graham. Graham says that he has a
message from Dr. Red Fang for that interfering Leon Teremoto. Graham says that Leon got involved in
something that didn’t concern him and now he’s drawn the attention of the good
doctor. Master Bull asks him if he’s
done and Graham says that he’s only begun to rant. Master Bull stands up and puts his arm around
Ant. “You see, you’re not in charge; I
am. No one here wants to hear your rant
to why don’t you take some time and chill.”
Graham harrumphed and walked off.
Pyro goes off and
our first match of the night is ready to go.
The Banker comes out first with his manager Ruth Heartless and they are
booed as they walk down to the ring. The
Banker gets on the mic and immediately tells the fans that they are going to witness
a repossession tonight. The Banker says
he is going to take ‘Top Gun’ Justin Winger’s career and flush it right down
the toilet. He is interrupted by
Winger’s music and he comes out to a pop from the crowd. He makes his way to the ring and gets in
immediately. These two are not strangers
and even though their feud is mostly behind them, there is still some bad
blood. The Banker took control early on
but Winger would battle back and take the fight right to his opponent even
managing to nullify interference from Ruth.
The longer the two battled, the more even the match became. 19 minutes in, the Banker goes for a Credit
Check chop but Winger nullifies it. Ruth
gets up on the ring apron one final time verbally antagonizing Winger. The ref went to admonish her and while that
was going on, ‘The King of Cones’ Magnum Kone came out and the Banker began to
flip out. The Banker went up to the ref
to inform him of Magnum’s appearance but then Winger caught him with a flying
dropkick. Winger made the quick cover
and with a hook of the leg, got the 1-2-3.
‘Top Gun’ gets the win and the fans pop.
Winger leaves while the Banker was complaining to the ref. Magnum then climbed into the ring and the
Banker took off like a scalded dog; over the ringside barrier and right thru
the crowd. The fans popped for Magnum as
he stood watching the Banker run away.
Eventually he left. (20 min)
We cut backstage
and the Wicked Prophet is back. He is
with Tommy Lightning. Tommy says that
everyone in Phoenix is breathing a sigh of relief now that Apollo Gyze is
gone. Tommy says that he will take on
Otto Ruthless tonight and like his name implies, he is pretty tough but
lightning will strike tonight and Tommy says he’s walking out victorious.
Our next match is
a challenge for a top 10 spot. First,
the lights go dark and we hear the creaking of a rocking chair and then a
single light illuminates the stage.
Wilber Townsend is sitting in his rocking chair humming the tune “He’s
got the whole world in his hands”. He gets
up and makes his way to the ring. He
gets in and takes a mic.
“Save
us, Biceps. Save us, Biceps! He's got the whole world in his hands. He's got
the whole wide world in his hands. He's got the whole world in his hands. He's
got the whole world in his hands. Save yourself, Bannerman.”
The music changes
and out comes Biceps Bannerman to a nice pop from the crowd. He makes his way down to the ring and climbs
in over the top rope. This guy is
frickin’ huge. He walks up to Wilber and
flexes one muscle and dang, if that thing isn’t almost as big as Wilber’s
head. Wilber begins to cackle. The bell rings and Wilber immediately attacks
him. Wilber controls the match and when it seemed like Biceps was making a
comeback, Wilber hurled him into the ref and the ref went down. Wilber then went to the outside of the ring,
grabbed the ringside bell and then slid back in. He hit Biceps with it but Bannerman no-sold
it. Wilber looked concerned. He hit Biceps in the chest with it and
Bannerman just stood there. Wilber tried
it a third time but Biceps grabbed it.
Wilber then kicked Bannerman in the nether region and then hit him in
the head with the bell. Bannerman goes
down. Wilber discarded the bell and as
the ref was getting back up, Wilber hit the Go to Sleep. He made the cover but Bannerman kicked out at
2. Wilber picked Bannerman up and hit a
short arm clothesline. This time he
hooked both legs and got one of his on the ropes for leverage. The ref didn’t see it and counted to 3. Wilber Townsend gets the win and enters the
World title picture. (13 min)
We go backstage
again and the Wicked Prophet is with the Steel Curtain – Buzz and Starbuck
Steel. WP says that the Curtain are
actually in singles action tonight. Buzz
tells him that it doesn’t matter if they are in singles or tag action, the
Curtain will dominate. Starbuck leans in
and says “Word. But let me say something
else. We are multi-champions. We’ve held the 6 Man titles, Tag Team and
both of us have been the World Champion.
We are in a premier class of talent here in HCW”. Buzz chimes in “You said it my brother. Tonight, our opponents won’t know what hit
them.” The Curtain then walk off. The Wicked Prophet says “What a couple of
nice guys”.
We head back to
the ring for our next match. First, Otto
Ruthless makes his way out and he is booed all the way to the ring. He flips off the fans which only riles them
up all the more. Next, Tommy Lighting
comes out and the fans pop for him. He
high-fives the fans as he makes his way to ringside. He climbs into the ring. For 5 minutes, he and Otto go toe to toe but
then something blares over the loudspeakers…”Apollo Gyze don’t apologize” and
Tommy is confused as Apollo is not on the roster. He watches the ramp but no one comes
out. Otto then clips him at the knee and
then pulls him into the center of the ring.
He locks in the Yukon Cloverleaf and Tommy almost immediately taps
out. Otto steals a win. He laughs as he makes his way to the
back. I wonder if that was something
Otto had planned. Hmm…(6 min)
The Wicked Prophet
is backstage eating a pastry when he is approached by the World Champion King
Rad Gumbo.
RG: Missed you at the last show there Prophet.
WP: Sorry your lordship. I was given a day off and decided to
capitalize on it.
RG: I take it you saw the match with that ice
cream vendor Magnum Kone.
WP: I did your highness.
RG: I’ll give you this. He still didn’t match up to me but it was an
interesting pick up you came up with. In fact, I want you to pick two wrestlers. The two of them can fight it out with the
winner getting a title shot at me.
WP: It’s an honor your highness.
RG: Let the GM’s know who you picked. I’m interested to see what you come up with.
WP: Sir, if I may be so bold, could I make a
recommendation? I would actually like to
propose a fatal four way. Four men get
to slug it out with the winner getting a title shot.
RG: That is a great idea. Here’s what we’ll do. I still want you to pick two people, Master
Bull can pick one and GM Max McGillicutty can pick the other. I’d like the match to take place next week
here in Phoenix so make sure everyone gets their picks in.
WP: Will do.
Thank you again your Lordship.
RG: Keep spreading the good word, Prophet.
We head back to
the ring as our next match is raring to go.
First, the crowd pops huge as the familiar music of Buzz Steel
hits. Buzz is so over with the crowd
it’s crazy. He gets to the ring and
climbs in. He pumps his fist in the air
as he climbs the turnbuckles. He then
does something very un-Buzz like…He does a backflip into the ring landing on
his feet. The fans pop huge. That is an astonishing feat for someone of
Buzz’s size. The music changes and out
comes Tobias Snake. Tobias has done his
best to stay out of the feud between his brothers. The fans boo him only because they like Buzz
so much. Tobias and Buzz went toe to toe
for the entire match and if this were graded by judges, they’d be within a
point of each other. Both men tried to
hit some power moves but the other gave as good as they got. At the 13 minute mark, Tobias hits a snap
DDT. Instead of going for a pin, he
picked Buzz up and then Buzz hit a Buzzkill out of nowhere. Buzz made the cover with a hook of the leg
and got the 3 count. Buzz Steel gets the
win much to the delight of the fans. (13
min)
Master Bull is in
his office and he’s not happy that the talent are once again becoming
matchmakers. Bull calls GM Max
McGillicutty and puts him on speaker.
The Wicked Prophet walks in after knocking. “You wanted to see me sir?” “Sit down please” Master Bull said. “I have Max on speaker. We’ve spoken
about this once before. You are
an interviewer, not a match maker.”
“With all due respect to you both, his Lordship the World Champion has
asked me for my input and I want to honor his wishes” Prophet said. Max chimed in over the phone “So, we’re going
to put you on the spot right now. Who
are the two people you want in the Fatal Four Way?” Prophet tapped his finger on his chin. “Got it.
I choose the ITF Champion Jacques Beannot and Drew the Canadian Love
Machine.” Bull nods his head. “I already have mine picked out. I want Sonic Blade.” Max chimes in again. “I have mine also. I want Texas Wildfire.” Max says he’ll announce it to his 3 guys on
Sunday. Bull says he’ll let Sonic know
the good news. They end the call and
Bull dismisses the Prophet.
Our next match is
ready to go. Niven Snake makes his way
out first and the fans pretty much boo him.
No time is wasted and Starbuck Steel makes his way out and the fans pop
for him. The match begins pretty quickly
and it’s Starbuck who controls the pace of the match. Starbuck would go for multiple pin attempts
but Niven kept kicking out. At one
point, Niven went for a drive by apron dropkick but Starbuck reversed it going
for a small packing (hooking the tights) but that was reversed and Niven
dropped him with a leaping clothesline.
Starbuck regained control bouncing Niven’s head off all 4 corner
turnbuckles. Niven would plant Starbuck
with a deadlift powerbomb but Starbuck caught him with the out of this world
dropkick. He made the cover and this
time got the 1-2-3. Starbuck Steel gets
the win and the fans couldn’t be happier.
Starbuck heads to the back. Niven
followed shortly thereafter. (11 min)
The Wicked Prophet
is backstage with the challenger to the Ladies title Kimberly Kiccsass. Kimberly says that she’s not going to stand
here spouting a lot of promises. She
says she’s kicking ass and taking home gold tonight. She walks off.
The Prophet is
then joined by the Ladies champion Ravishing Raquel and her manager the
Ambassador. When he asked Raquel what
she thought about what Kimberly just said, the Ambassador yelled at him to stop
asking stupid questions. Raquel says
that Kimberly is one of the best in HCW but she does not hold a candle to her
and will prove it NOW. Raquel and the
Ambassador walk off.
It is time for our
main event. First, the challenger
Kimberly Kiccsass comes out and the fans give her a small pop. Next, the Ladies Champion Ravishing Raquel
comes out with her manager. The fans are
mixed as they like her but cannot stand her jerk of a manager. He accompanies her because he manages Elitism
which Raquel is part of with the tag team champions who just so happen to be
her husband ‘the Elitist’ Reid Rothchild and his brother Roderick. Kimberly is pacing in the ring ready for this
to begin. The bell rings and Kimberly
hits a Toronto slam. Raquel comes back
with a power full nelson. Kimberly hits
a top rope leg drop but the champ hits the Simply Ravishing. Raquel goes for the pin and gets a 2 count. Kimberly hits a Toronto Slam and then hurls
Raquel into the corner. She charges but
Raquel moves. Kimberly hits the
turnbuckle shoulder first at a pretty good clip. She grabs her arm in pain. Raquel grabs the arm and immediately locks in
the Ravishing Chickenwing. Kimberly
tried to make it to the ropes but no avail so she tapped out. Raquel lets go immediately and has her arm
raised as the winner of the match. The
Ambassador joins her in the ring and takes the belt from the ref and puts it around
Raquel’s waist. The show comes to an end
with Raquel standing tall in the ring with the Ambassador pointing and nodding
at the champ. (6 min)
That’s all for
now. More elimination chamber qualifiers
are coming so stay tuned.
