Hello fans. Welcome back to our wrestling newsletter. Now that Master Bull got the results of his Phoenix show posted, we can finally get to ours.
Pyro goes off and GM Max McGillicutty makes his way out. He says that the PPV is only two weeks away and is shaping up to be one hell of a slobberknocker. Tonight, the tag team tournament continues. We also will see Wilber Townsend take on Texas Wildfire to determine the true #1 contender for the World Title held by the ‘Ragin Cajun’ King Rad Gumbo. Wilber too has a beef with the Ragin Cajun as it was he who took Wilber’s crown as King of HCW earlier this year. He hasn’t forgotten about it. Finally, we will see Ruby Rose defend her spot against Kimberly Kiccsass who is making a final run after the Ladies Title. With that, it’s time to kick off the show.
Pyro goes off once
again as the fans pop but then they turn sour when 2/3s of the 6 Man Tag Team
Champions the 5th Column come out.
Karl Braun and Oswald Zimmerman are representing their team in the tag
team tournament. We are shown brief
comments from them with Karl boasting that not only will they retain their
titles at the PPV but they will also become the New Tag Team champions and will
hold both sets of belts. We cut back to
the ring and they are taunting the fans.
The music changes and out comes Ovaltine Jackson and Ghee Buttersnaps. The
fans pop for them. This makes the Column
irate. They immediately attack Ovaltine
and Ghee as they enter the ring. The attack did little for the Column as Ghee
and Ovaltine battled back and took control of the match from basically 5
minutes in. At one point, Baron von
Blood tried to make his way down but the ref must have been expecting it and
had security out there almost immediately to escort him (kicking and screaming)
to the back. This allowed Ghee and
Ovaltine to dominate the match to the end.
Just as we were approaching the 30 minute mark, all 4 men hit the ring
trying to give themselves an advantage.
Once the ref got control, Karl hits the ropes going for something but
Ghee hoisted him in the air with a back body drop. He makes the quick cover getting the 3 count
with seconds to spare. Ovaltine and Ghee
get the win and advance to the semifinals.
(30 min)
The Wicked Prophet
is backstage with TV Champion Davis ‘the Hoff’ Hoffmeister. Davis says that he doesn’t want to wait for
Max to give him an opponent tonight so he says he chooses Apollo Gyze. When asked “Why?” by the Prophet, Davis says,
“I can take him. It should be an easy
enough night.” Both men have a laugh. Nix Anderson walks over and says that ‘the
Singapore Sensation’ Matt Preacher cost him his title. They both know that Davis would not beat him
one on one so if Davis were any sort of man, he would give him his rematch at
the PPV. Davis agreed. The two men had a brief staredown but Nix
walked away.
We head back to the ring for our next match. First, Leslie Grimes makes her way out to a small pop from the crowd. Once in the ring, the music changes and out comes Violet Valkyrie. The fans pop huge as she rushes down to the ring and slides under the bottom rope. She climbs the turnbuckle and the fans pop even louder. She jumps down and goes to shake Leslie’s hand. Leslie takes a step back and doesn’t shake it. The bell rings and Leslie grabs Violet by the hair and tosses her to the mat. Violet gets up really fast and locks Leslie in a triangle choke. Leslie is trapped in the middle of the ring and with no hope to make it to the ropes, she taps out. Violet lets her go. Violet gets the win in just under 60 seconds. The fans pop as she climbs the turnbuckle once again and then heads to the back. Leslie follows shortly thereafter.
The Wicked Prophet
is backstage with the Steel Curtain. Buzz
says that singles action is ok but they really shine as a tag team. Starbuck
says they may be in limbo at the moment but after their next match, they will
be back at the top. The Prophet asks who
their opponents are tonight. Buzz says
that Max gave them the ability to pick their own so they have chosen…the
Mexicali Flyers. Starbuck says their
styles have some similarities so this will be an entertaining one for the
fans. The Prophet wishes them good luck
as they walk off.
We head to the
ring for our next match. First, the
Steel Curtain come out and the fans explode.
They make their way down to the ring and do their typical psyching the
crowd up. Next, the music changes and
out comes the Mexicali Flyers – Tornado en Fuego and El Dragon Insano. They too get a loud pop from the crowd. The high-five the fans as they make their way
into the ring. The Steel Curtain step
aside and let them do their thing. El
Dragon climbs to the top turnbuckle and then does a back flip into the ring landing
on his feet. Starbuck and Buzz applaud
him. The four men make their way to the
middle of the ring and all shake hands. The
bell then rings starting this one of with Tornado en Fuego and Buzz Steel. This was about as even as it could get. Both men hit moves that seemed very similar
and each had the ease in negating or nullifying the others moves. Buzz and Tornado tagged their partners in and
for about 5 minutes, we saw the exact same thing. Things then changed in favor of the Flyers as
tempers began to flare. The Flyers
dominated the match for the next 7 minutes until Buzz made the hot tag and began
clearing house. At one point, Buzz hit
both Tornado and El Dragon with the Buzz Cut and the fans enjoyed it. The Flyers would also hit Buzz and Starbuck
with a superkick and an insane brainbuster.
Starbuck gets the tag and he gets his team one step ahead of their
opponents. The Curtain then kept the
tags quick as to keep each man as fresh as possible. When Starbuck got tagged in the final time,
he catches El Dragon with the Out of this World dropkick. He makes the cover and gets the 1-2-3. The Steel Curtain are victorious and the fans
give them (all of them actually) a standing ovation. All 4 men once again met in the center of the
ring and shook hands much to the fans’ delight.
The Flyers left first giving the Curtain time to soak in their win. They left a few moments later. (26 min)
We cut backstage
where a ruckus is transpiring. It seems
that Vanilla Zombie and Violet are brawling and security had to rush over to
break it up. GM Max McGillicutty
arrives on the scene and he says that he’s had enough of these two. Max says that the match at the PPV between
Vanilla and Violet will take place inside a steel cage. Both women look like they are happy with that
news. Security ends up escorting the two
ladies to separate locker rooms.
We head back to
the ring for our next match. This one
will be to determine the official #1 contender to the World Title. The lights go dim and Wilber Townsend makes
his way out carrying his lantern. He
takes a slow walk towards the ring but the closer he gets, the brighter it
becomes. Once in the ring, the lights
are fully back up. New music hits and out comes Texas Wildfire. The fans pop huge for him as he makes his way
down to the ring. He gets in wasting no
time. Wilber seems to have a few choice
words for him but TW backs off at the insistence of the ref. The bell rings and this one is off to the
races. TW manages to take control early
but gets himself in a predicament when Wilber tried to powerslam him from the
top rope. TW held on for dear life and
once it seemed that Wilber was going to let up, TW leapt and took Wilber down
with a leaping DDT. TW made the cover and
got the 3 count. Texas Wildfire gets the
win and will go on to the PPV to meet King Rad Gumbo for the World title. The fans popped for TW as he made his way to
the back. Wilber had to be helped to the
back. (8 min)
Kimberly Kiccsass
is backstage with the Wicked Prophet.
She tells him she can’t stand being in the ‘Tacoma Aroma’ and that the
state of Washington has nothing on Arizona and specifically Phoenix. The fans boo her but she doesn’t seem to
care. She says tonight, the one true #1 contender’s
walks out of the ring with a title shot and the other crawls home to wait
another day. The Prophet tells Kimberly
not to dismiss Ruby so quickly but she said that she has and already has her
sights set on a Ladies title match. She walks
off.
It’s time for our
next match. Kimberly Kiccsass comes out
first but the fans boo her. She doesn’t
care and makes her way into the ring and begins to stretch. We cut backstage where the Wicked Prophet has
caught up with Ruby Rose. He asks Ruby
if she has anything to say about Kimberly but Ruby just turns and says her
actions will speak for her. Ruby makes
her way out to a pop from the crowd. She
makes her way into the ring and is all business. As soon as the bell rings, this one is off
and Ruby takes control early on and holds on to it. Kimberly got flustered a few times when Ruby
would kick out of pin attempts but would fall back into defensive mode when
Ruby got going again. 18 minutes in, the
ref took a bump and went down. Ruby hit
the Red Wedding Facebuster and made the cover but there was no one to make the
count. Kimberly rolled out of the ring
and grabbed a chair while Ruby checked on the ref. Kimberly then hit Ruby across the back with
the chair and then dropped the chair.
She then hit the Christo right on the chair. She quickly discarded it as the ref was
coming to. Kimberly made the dramatic
crawl and covered Ruby to get the 1-2-3.
Kimberly gets the win and then all of a sudden, is back up with renewed
energy celebrating her win. It is cut
short when GM Max McGillicutty comes out.
Max says that Kimberly blatantly cheated to get this spot and even
though he should reverse the ref’s decision, he won’t. What he will do however is to add Ruby to the
Ladies title match and now it will be a triple threat match. Kimberly starts to throw a tantrum but then
Ruby gets to her feet and then hurls Kimberly out of the ring. The fans pop for Ruby as she will still be
in Ladies main event. (19 min for the match; 5 for the aftermath)
The Wicked Prophet
is backstage with Apollo Gyze. Apollo
says he won’t apologize for what happened in the Elimination Chamber as that
hellacious structure is “every man for himself”. He did what he had to in order to
survive. Tonight, his luck continues as
he gets a shot at the TV title. When the
Prophet asked him if he could handle two titles if he won tonight, Apollo told
Prophet to shut it and just watch a master at work. Apollo then walked off.
It’s time for our
main event. First, we hear over the
loudspeakers “Apollo Gyze don’t apologize” (editor’s note: Be sure to do that in Mr. T’s voice) and out
comes everyone’s favorite coward Apollo Gyze.
The fans boo him as he makes his way down to the ring. He threatens to slug a few kids (what a jerk)
who were mocking him. He gets in the
ring and waits. The music changes and
out comes the TV Champion Davis ‘the Hoff’ Hoffmeister. The fans pop huge for Davis. He high fives with the fans as he makes his
way around the ring. He gets in and
Apollo makes like he’s going to attack Davis but then backs off. Davis doesn’t flinch. Apollo goes right on the offensive but the TV
champ is right there with him. 4 minutes
in, Apollo hits a gorilla press and drop moonsault and goes for the cover only
to get a 1 count. Apollo then follows it
up with a delayed vertical suplex. He
makes the cover again but Davis kicks right out. The match continued for a few more minutes
until Nix Anderson made his way out. He
caused more of a distraction to Apollo than he did to Davis. Apollo went to jawjack with Nix but as he
turned around, Davis kicked him in the gut and then hit a piledriver. Davis made the cover and the ref counted 1…2…3. Davis gets the win and retains his
title. Apollo rolls out of the
ring. The ref hands Davis his
title. Nix climbs in and stands nose to
nose with the champ. Davis then holds
the title in Nix’s face as the show comes to an end.
Thanks for
reading. Things are really shaping up
for our PPV so be sure to stay tuned as the action heats up.
