Hello fans and
welcome back to another installment of the HCW newsletter. Happy Thanksgiving to one and all!!! We had a hell of a show this past Sunday in
San Diego with Elimination Chamber. Ruby
Rose got the win for the Ladies allowing her Tacoma teammates to keep their
jobs. We hear that Scarlett Phoenix and
Madame Jade will be on hand tonight to say their goodbyes. On the men’s side, newcomer Apollo Gyze gets
the win also for Tacoma allowing his teammates to also keep their jobs.
Because of the
vacancies caused by the departing wrestlers, HCW has decided to do a roster
shake up. Moving to Tacoma are the
Regulators who frankly want nothing to do with the Banker anymore. Moving to Phoenix are quite a few: Bob ‘Powder’ Keg, the King of Cones Magnum
Kone, Leon Teremoto, Perfect Pecs Stoddard and finally the NEW TV Champion
Davis ‘the Hoff’ Hoffmeister.
Next, because ‘the
Elitist’ Reid Rothchild was part of the losing team and therefore is out,
Elitism has to forfeit the Tag Team Titles.
A series of matches will be held starting tonight to get to a final 4
who will duke it out at the “Zero Hour” PPV next month. Roderick was asked if he wanted to find a
partner and get back into the tournament but he said that his brother is the
only person he’d ever team with so now its singles action for him.
We are also going
to have 2 title matches tonight with the 5th Column defending the 6
Man Tag Team Championship against the Steel Curtain and Tommy Lightning and the
ITF Champion Jacques Beannot (with his manager ‘the Singapore Sensation’ Matt
Preacher) taking on Leon Teremoto.
Pyro goes off and
our first match is ready. Over the
loudspeakers blares “VAMPIRE LUNGES FOR EVERYONE!” and out comes the evil
vampire bot Dr. Red Fang and his manager Ant Graham. Fang snarls and growls at the fans as he
makes his way to the ring. Ant gets
ridiculed by the fans and he responds by flipping them off. The music changes and the fans explode as
Drew the Canadian Love Machine comes out.
He high fives the fans. As soon
as he gets in the ring, Fang attacks him.
The two battle tooth and nail and kept the fans on their feet for the
entire match. Even with interference
from Ant Graham, it wasn’t enough to give Fang a huge advantage. As the match entered the 20th and
final minute of the match, Drew connects with a corkscrew pescado but Fang hits
a Vampire Lunge out of nowhere. With
both men spent, the bell rings bringing this one to a time limit draw. Drew rolls out of the ring and leaves to a
pop from the crowd. Fang makes it to his
feet only to get leveled by the Unknown Assassin who ran in from the crowd to
attack him. UA beat Fang down and then knocked
him silly with multiple forearm shots.
UA’s manager JC Dykes decks Ant Graham and then enters the ring with mic
in hand and he tells Fang that UA isn’t done with him by a long shot and
officially challenges him to a match at the PPV with their careers on the
line. He proposes a loser leaves HCW
match. Dykes says that he and the
Unknown Assassin will await the cowards’ response. UA and Dykes leave to booing from the
crowd. (20 min for the match; 5 for the
aftermath)
We cut up to the
Omegatron where we get a recap from Elimination Chamber showing Ruby Rose’s win
as well as Apollo Gyze’s “comment” directed at Master Bull. “Kiss my ass Master Bull. Hahahahahahahaha”.
We then cut to the
interview area and the Wicked Prophet is there with Leon Teremoto. WP asks Leon if he is ready for his match
against the ITF Champion Jacques Beannot.
Leon says that not only is he ready but he is walking out with the title
tonight and once the ref hands him the title, he will drop the ITF name and
officially bring back the US title. The
Wicked Prophet wishes Leon good luck.
We head back to
the ring for our first qualifying match for the Tag Team Titles. First, Leiton and Tobias Snake come out to a
mixed reaction from the crowd. Shortly
thereafter, their opponents, two members of the Huber Clan (Butch and Junior
Huber) come out to booing from the fans.
They make their way down to the ring.
The two teams battled in the ring but lots of rest holds caused the fans
to get bored and head to the bathroom or snack bar. Before we knew it, this one hit the 30 minute
time limit. Both teams are eliminated
and out of the tag team running.
We head to the
back once again and manager ‘the Singapore Sensation’ Matt Preacher tells
everyone that all is well with everyone he manages and Nix Anderson will be
back in the ring on Sunday. He however
is not done with the man who “stole” his TV title Davis Hoffmeister. He promises that Nix will be the champ again.
We go back to the
ring for our next tag team qualifying match.
First, Scooter J and TNT come out to a nice pop from the crowd. Scooter J looks to be healthy. TNT high fives with the fans as he makes his
way into the ring. Next, the music
changes and out comes the Muscles Trio. They
are wearing their rainbow colored bull horns and carrying boxes of ‘Booty-O’s’
cereal. The trio do ‘rock, paper,
scissors’ to see who will represent them in the match. Muscles Thorpe and Weasley get the win and
they head to the ring. The match begins
pretty quickly but 4 minutes into the match, during a double team, Thorpe threw
TNT over the top rope and he appeared to land awkwardly. He appears to be hurt so SJ is on his
own. Scooter J began a good run but each
time he executed a move, the Muscles would tag out bringing a fresh man into
the ring. They did this a few times and
SJ got a bit frustrated. Thorpe tagged
Weasley in but before he could tag back in, TNT came around and pulled him off
the apron. In the ring, Weasley went for
a double foot stomp but SJ reversed it and hit a piledriver. With no one to make the save, Scooter J gets
the 1-2-3. SJ and TNT move forward in
the tournament. (8 min)
Backstage, the
Wicked Prophet interview the Steel Curtain (Buzz and Starbuck Steel) and Tommy
Lightning. Tommy is excited for a shot
at the 6 man titles. Buzz says that this
enthusiasm is just what they need to revitalize the division. Starbuck adds in that it’s been awhile since
they carried gold and now is as good a time as any. Buzz and Tommy then lean in and say “Word”
and the trio leave.
We head back to
the ring for another tag team qualifying match.
First, the Ryzing Storm (Terra and Travis Ryzing) come out to booing
from the fans. Next, the former
champions the Mexicali Flyers (El Dragon Insano and Tornado en Fuego) come out
to a huge pop from the crowd. They zip
around like bees which gets the crowd pumped.
The Storm begin by attacking the Flyers but their offense is squashed
before it ever got started. The Flyers
were able to calm the Storm and own the match.
At the 12 minute mark, all 4 men were in the ring. Travis hit Tornado with a neckbreaker and El
Dragon threw Terra out of the ring to the floor. He followed him and picked him up dragging
him to the announce table where he hit a superplex from the announce table to
the floor. The ref began counting and El
Dragon rolled back in just before the 10 count.
Terra Ryzing doesn’t make the count and ends up getting counted
out. The Mexicali Flyers get the win
via CO and move on in the tournament. (12 min)
We head to the
back with the Wicked Prophet and he is with the 6 Man tag team champions the 5th
Column. Baron von Blood speaks for his
team and says that they will dominate their match tonight and the Curtain and
Tommy will go home empty handed. They
laugh as they walk off.
We are back at the
ring and music hits and out comes the challengers the Steel Curtain and Tommy
Lightning. The fans pop as they make
their way down to the ring. Their pop is
cut short when the 6 Man Tag Team Champions the 5th Column make
their way out. The fans boo the crap out
of them. They stop on the stage and then
they look up and we hear “Apollo Gyze don’t apologize” blare through the
loudspeakers. Tommy begins looking
around for him determinedly. When Apollo
doesn’t show up, the Column laugh as it was all a ploy to throw Tommy off his
game. Both teams were pretty even
through 13 minutes of the match. The
Column triple teamed Tommy and kept him on their side of the ring taunting the
Curtain all the while. people out of the
ring, Tommy tried for a monkey flip but didn’t have enough to capitalize on
it. Karl then pulled out an illegal
object and hit Tommy with it. He made
the cover getting the 1-2-3. The Column
retain their titles. They began berating
the Steel Curtain and then music hit and out comes GM Master Bull. Bull says that he rid Phoenix of Apollo and
is not happy that the Column likes to keep bringing him up even in an effort to
throw their opponents off. Baron asks
Bull what he’s going to do about it.
Master Bull says that even though the Column won tonight, they WILL
defend the titles one more time against the Steel Curtain and Tommy Lightning
at the PPV. The Column tried to
complain but Bull walked off. (16 min)
For the last time
tonight, the Wicked Prophet is getting ready in the interview area and ITF
Champion Jacques Beannot and his manager ‘the Singapore Sensation’ Matt
Preacher walk in. Jacques calls the
Prophet a wannabe and if he knows what’s good for him, he’ll just stand there
holding the mic. Jacques says that Leon
is a no body and can’t figure out why he’s getting a title shot. Jacques says that once he defeats Leon, he
will be the greatest to hold this title and no one will ever touch him. Jacques walks away with Preacher
following. Prophet stands there glaring
after them.
It is time for our
main event. First, Leon Teremoto comes
out and the fans pop for him as he makes his way down to the ring. After a few minutes to interact with the
fans, the music changes and Matt Preacher comes out first and introduces the
greatest International Title of France Champion ever – Jacques Beannot. Beannot makes his way down to the ring and
holds his title in Leon’s face. Leon
doesn’t waste any time and takes a swing at Jacques. Jacques backs off not expecting it, hands the
title off and then attacks Leon. Jacques
applies a shoulder pinch and Leon locks in an armbar scissored lock. Leon then hits a sitout side slam. Jacques locks in the Spreadsheet but Leon
makes it to the ropes. Jacques applies a
sleeperhold but Leon locks in the armbar scissored lock again. Jacques hits a jaw jacker. Leon locks in a headlock but Preacher hits
him from behind. When that didn’t work,
Preacher got up on the apron and put his hands on the ref. The ref warned him not to do that again or he
would disqualify Jacques. Preacher rears
back and slugs the ref. The ref calls
for the bell disqualifying Jacques and awards the match to Leon. Since the title doesn’t change hands on a DQ,
Jacques is still the champion. All of a
sudden, the Wicked Prophet storms out from the back and he tells the ref he has
to call out a serious miscarriage of justice.
He replays the last few moments of the match that showed the constant
interference by Preacher. The Wicked
Prophet suggests that Jacques give Leon a rematch at the PPV and make it a no
DQ. Jacques asks why he would do
something so stupid. The Wicked Prophet
points up at the Omegatron and it begins flashing hilarious photos of Jacques
and he screams to shut them off. Prophet
tells him to agree to the match. Jacques
stammers a bit but then finally agrees.
He and Preacher storm off. It
looks like Leon will be getting a fair shake.
Just as the
cameras were getting ready to end, Madame Jade, Scarlett Phoenix, Taylor Bella,
Phat Sol, Brick (Machine B), Top Gun Justin Winger and Sonic Blade all came out
and said their goodbyes to the fans. They
each got a nice pop. ‘The Elitist’ Reid
Rothchild came out on the ramp and all he said was “You haven’t seen the last
of me” and then walked off.
With that, the
show comes to an end. I’m sure Jacques
will have something to say to Tacoma GM Max McGillicutty when he arrives back
in Tacoma. Stay tuned as things are
heating up.
