Hello fans and
welcome back to the HCW Wrestling Newsletter.
Well, we are in the home stretch leading up to our PPV this weekend. The show in Denver is officially sold out and
the fanfest in Colorado Springs had to be moved to a new location to
accommodate the extra fans (and there were a lot) who wanted to attend. That event too is also sold out. GM Max McGillicutty says that he will have an
announcement he will make later in the show in regards to fanfest. To handle the amount of wrestling taking
place this week, we will have a total of 5 updates: One for tonight’s Tacoma show, tomorrow’s
Phoenix show, the fanfest and then our two day PPV on Saturday and Sunday. After that, we will be on our winter’s hiatus
giving the staff and roster time off to heal.
In other news, HCW
is holding an ongoing “open tryout” for new talent to try and give wrestling in
HCW a shot. We had a decent turnout with
a few looking pretty good. We’ll have to
see if they make the cut.
Tonight, the first
bracket of the semi-finals for the World Tag team titles takes place with
Hardcore Hensen and ITF Champion Jacques Beannot taking on the former champs the
Mexicali Flyers.
The show starts
off backstage where ‘Big Money’ Ned Rhyerson III walks in with his bags and
stops at the board to see who he’s wrestling tonight. He about loses it when he sees his name
marked through and instead sees ‘Red Hot’ Lucas Johnston on the card. He grabs his bag and storms off.
Pyro goes off and
out show is about to get underway. First,
a local talent (I guess) comes out under the name of ‘the Soccer mom’. She is masked and makes her way to the ring. Next, Vanilla Zombie comes out first with her
manager ‘the Singapore Sensation’ Matt Preacher. The fans boo them as they head to the
ring. Once in the ring, Preacher grabs a
mic and says that not only will Hardcore Hensen demolish Apollo Gyze, but the ITF
Champion Jacques Beannot will easily defeat Leon Teremoto and finally, in the
Steel Cage, Violet Valkyrie will get what’s coming to her - one hell of a
beating from this woman – Vanilla Zombie.
Vanilla gets to unload on this masked nobody. The bell rings with Vanilla starting off
strong with her manager cheering her on.
As the match progressed, our mystery masked woman began to fight
back. Preacher became concerned and
tried to get involved but the ref was able to stop him and sent him to the
back. As he was making his way up the
ramp, he turned only to see ‘the Soccer Mom’ lock in a triangle choke. He panicked and ran back to the ring but he
was too late as Vanilla tapped out.
Vanilla rolled out of the ring. ‘The
Soccer Mom’ removed her mask and…holy cow…it’s Violet Valkyrie. Violet takes the mic and says that she’s
shown she can dominate and this weekend, in the Steel Cage, Vanilla will wish
she never stepped foot in an HCW ring.
Preacher and Vanilla made their way to the back…outsmarted. (19 min)
We cut backstage
where the Wicked Prophet is with Ruby Rose.
Ruby says she’s thankful to still be in the title match but now understands
how underhanded and deceptive some people can be. She says that there is a reason she’s known
as “short but vicious”. She says she’s
ready for Ravishing Raquel and asks if Raquel is ready for her.
Our next match
begins with Bishop Ripley making his way to the ring first to a mixed reaction
from the crowd. Next, the music changes
and out comes ‘Red Hot’ Lucas Johnstson.
The fans pop huge for him as he makes his way down to the ring but he is
attacked from behind by ‘Big Money’ Ned Rhyerson III. The attack is short as officials from the back
came out before too much damage could be done.
Lucas makes it to the ring and the ref asks him if he wants to
continue. He does. The bell rings and Bishop controls the match.
I think that the attack from Ned did
more damage than Lucas was letting on.
To his credit, Lucas kept kicking out of pin attempts. This went on for
the entire match and we entered the final minute, it was apparent that Lucas
was almost out on his feet. Bishop grabbed him and hit a german suplex. Lucas went bouncing to the other side of the
ring. Bishop crawled over and made the dramatic
cover hooking the leg. The ref counted 1…2…
and the bell rang bringing this one to a draw finish. Lucas is one tough SOB. Bishop left and Lucas got to his feet. He asks for a mic and calls out Ned. Ned comes out and begins to make his way to
the ring pushing through the line of officials who rushed out to prevent Ned
from doing further damage. Ned gets into
the ring and Lucas challenges him to a match at the PPV. Ned accepts and says that his ‘spot’ tonight
was the last thing Lucas will be taking from anyone. He turned and left without further
altercation. Lucas eventually left too.
Apollo Gyze is
backstage and the Wicked Prophet asks him if he’s ready for Hardcore
Hensen. Apollo laughs and says that
Hensen is just as wishy-washy as that goofball Master Bull. Apollo also makes fun that Tommy Lightning
got injured at the hands of the 5th Column saying he can’t defend
himself. Apollo adds that when he
defeats Hensen to become the new Hardcore Champion, the first thing he’ll do is
flaunt it in Master Bull’s face…and promises he will NOT apologize.
Our next match is
ready to go. First, MJ comes out with
Smasher #2 for this rare singles match.
They are booed as they head to the ring.
Next, the music changes and out comes Superquake Ferguson. He gets a mixed reaction from the fans. Smasher #2 attacks him before the bell trying
to get the upper hand. Even MJ had to
get involved in order to get the giant off his feet. Smasher #2 tried for the Steel Smasher a few
times but he could not get the pin.
Smasher #2 hits Ferguson with a stomp and tries to pick him up but
Superquake falls right on top of him.
Superquake rolled off but before he could get to his feet, MJ ran over
and eye gouged him with peanut shells. Angry Jack came in from the crowd and while
Smasher #2 distracted the ref, he hit Ferguson with a chokeslam from hell. He then took off through the crowd. Smasher #2 ran over and made the cover hooking
the leg and getting his feet on the ropes for leverage. This cheating move got him the 3 count. Smasher #2 and MJ left laughing. Superquake got to his feet and wiped the
remaining peanut shells from his eyes and asked for a mic. He said that he was challenging Angry Jack to
a match at the PPV and if he had any balls on him (as opposed to strikes and
walks) (the fans chuckled), he would accept.
He then left to a nice pop from the crowd. (12 min)
‘The Elitist’ Reid
Rothchild is backstage with the Wicked Prophet and Reid comments on how
everyone loves Drew the Canadian Love Machine but he is a glorified
nobody. Reid says it’s too bad he can’t
be on the Phoenix roster where he would beat Drew post to post until the
Canadian Love Machine was nothing more than a discarded blow up doll.
We head back to
the ring as our next match is ready to get underway. First, over the loudspeakers blares “APOLLO
GYZE DON’T APLOGIZE” and out comes Apollo.
The fans boo the crap out of him but he doesn’t care. He makes it to the ring and begins to mock
the fans starting to get them into a frenzy.
The music changes and out comes Billy Robbins. The fans pop for Billy to make Apollo mad but
it doesn’t work. Billy hits the ring and
Apollo backs off. The match begins and Billy has control for the
first few minutes and then Apollo took over opening a can of whoop-ass ala
Stone Cold Steve Austin. Apollo then
dominated the match. At the 15 minute
mark, it seemed that Billy was out on his feet.
Apollo hit him with a powerbomb.
He picked him up and hit a second one.
The fans booing intensified as Apollo picked him up and hit a third
powerbomb. The ref told him to end by
going for the pin but Apollo refused.
The ref threatened to disqualify Apollo but it fell on deaf ears…until
the ref called for the bell disqualifying Apollo and awarding the match to
Billy. Apollo was livid. He’d been robbed of his match. He jawjacked with the ref. He threatened to hit him a couple of times
but ended up walking out. Billy wins via
DQ. (15 min)
The Mexicali
Flyers (El Dragon Insano & Tornado en Fuego) are backstage with the Wicked
Prophet and an interpreter. The Flyers
state that they had a great match against the Steel Curtain and look forward to
meeting them again once they procure the Tag Team Titles again. The Wicked Prophet tells them not to overlook
the (cheating) team that is Hardcore Hensen and (the weasel) Jacques
Beannot. The Flyers state they’ve seen
worse and are adequately prepared. They
then leave.
In-ring action
continues with ‘the Elitist’ Reid Rothchild making his way out to the
ring. The fans boo him and he
nonchalantly flips them off. He gets in
the ring and continues his taunts until the music changes and out comes the
Axe. The fans pop for him as he comes
out and makes his way into the ring wasting no time. Reid exits the ring as Axe comes over and
glares at Reid. Reid smirks and then
takes his time getting back into the ring.
Finally he does and the match can begin.
The Axe threw Reid around like a rag doll and the fans enjoyed every
minute. 12 minutes in, Reid decided he’d
had enough and tried to walk out. He
didn’t get very far when Drew the Canadian Love Machine came out and the fans
popped HUGE. Reid took a few steps back
and decided he didn’t want anything to do with Drew so he crawled back into the
ring. He then yelled at Drew from the ring
and turned just as the Axe was charging and hit Reid with his namesake. One ‘Axe’ and a 3 count secured a win for the
big man. Axe gets the win and the fans
approve. Axe looks to Drew and
nods. Drew responds in kind. Drew doesn’t enter the ring but walks to
commentary where he grabs a mic. He
tells Reid that if and when he wants to meet him in the ring, he’s ready. He then asks “What about the PPV?” Reid shakes his head no and leaves. Drew, disappointed at the cowardice of Reid,
leaves shortly thereafter.
We cut back to the
office of GM Max McGillicutty. Max says
he has some great news and for once, is happy to beat Master Bull to the
punch. Max states that at Fanfest, the fans
present will be treated to an All-Roster battle royal. This is not a separation of men and women…everyone
competes in the same match. This is the
first time ever that HCW has done this and is proud to let every member of the
roster have a chance to shine.
It is time for our
Main Event with the winner of this match going to the finals at the PPV to
fight for the World Tag Team titles.
First, ‘the Singapore Sensation’ Matt Preacher comes out and introduces
the Hardcore Champion Hardcore Hensen and the International French Title
champion Jacques Beannot. Preacher
promises that his team is going to go all…the…way. The trio head to the ring as the fans boo
them. Once in the ring, they taunt the
fans until the music changes and out comes the Mexicali Flyers. The fans pop as the Flyers make their way
down to the ring and after some zipping around the ring, they entered the
ring. The match begins with all four men
in the ring duking it out. As the Flyers
were told to send someone to the outside, Jacques hit Tornado en Fuego from behind
knocking him out of the ring. Preacher’s
duo then went to town double teaming El Dragon for about 5 minutes. El Dragon ends up hitting Jacques with a
dropkick and Dragon made the hot tag to Tornado who came in…like a tornado but
Hensen attacked him too and the double teaming continued. At the 9 minute mark, El Dragon had enough
and jumped in the ring helping Tornado en Fuego double team Hardcore Hensen. Hensen throws Tornado out of the ring while
Jacques ties El Dragon up in the ropes. The
dastardly duo then got out of the ring and double chokeslammed Tornado through
the Spanish announce table. Hensen
rolled back in the ring and watched as the ref counted to 10. Upon reaching the 10 count and it was
apparent that Tornado wasn’t getting back up in time, he called for the bell
awarding the match to Hardcore Hensen and Jacques Beannot via countout. Matt Preacher joined them in the ring and
held up both their arms yelling “I told you so” as the show comes to an end.
Tomorrow is the
Phoenix Heat show and then we head to Colorado Springs for our Fanfest. Be sure to stay tuned.
