HCW Wrestling Newsletter 2018 #734 – Zero Hour PPV Day 1


Hello fans and welcome to the Mile High City who is hosting our end of the year PPV – HCW’s Zero Hour.  Over the next two days, we will cover a total of 14 matches and every title will be on the line.  Here is the lineup for today’s show:

Magnum Kone vs the Banker
TV title:  Davis Hoffmeister (champ) vs Nix Anderson (rematch)
Angry Jack vs Superquake Ferguson – Street Fight
ITF Champion:  Jacques Beannot vs Leon Teremoto (WP special guest referee) 
Hardcore champion:  Hardcore Hensen vs Apollo Gyze
Violet Valkyrie vs Vanilla Zombie – Steel Cage – the winner gets the first title shot at the Ladies champion
Ladies title:  Ravishing Raquel vs Ruby Rose vs Kimberly Kiccsass – Steel Cage

Pyro goes off kicking off our show and we immediately cut backstage where reporter Clarkus Kentus is with the Wicked Prophet.  Clarkus asks if Prophet is ready to put on the pin stripes.  WP says that he’s committed to calling the match down the line and will call Jacques out if he so much tries to cheat.  He says the same will apply to Leon if he tries to break the rules but he doesn’t foresee any issues there.  WP says that during the break, he’ll be hitting the gym every day to get ready for his in-ring debut in January. 

We cut to the ring and music plays as GM’s Max McGillicutty and Master Bull make their way out and down to the ring.  They take turns thanking the fans for attending and watching live on PPV.  Max says most of the feuds that have been going on throughout the year may finally see a resolution.  Master Bull lets the fans know that both shows in Denver are sold out.  He says that there had been some request for a follow up show but they are committed to giving the roster the much needed time off (and besides, he has a LOT of laundry to do). They leave the ring as more pyro goes off.

Our first match is ready to begin.  First, The Banker along with his manager Ruth Heartless comes out and the fans boo them pretty badly.  He turns his nose up at them and even threatens to hit one with his briefcase.    He gets in the ring and begins to jawjack with the fans.  The music changes and we hear the familiar chime from an ice cream cart and ‘the King of Cones’ Magnum Kone begins to make his way out.  He begins handing out ice cream to the kids at ringside and they continue to pop for him.  Once he completed his task, he gets into the ring.  The Banker immediately attacks him with the briefcase before the bell rang.  The ref finally got the briefcase away from him and after checking on Magnum, called for the match to begin.  The attack put Magnum at a disadvantage throughout most of the match but no matter what the Banker did, Magnum kept taking it.  Magnum started making some momentum but that came to a halt after Ruth got involved.  Magnum the retaliated against Ruth handcuffing her to the ringside barrier taking her out of the match.  The Banker kept up the offense but then Magnum decided he’d had enough and began ‘hulking up’.  The Banker hit Magnum again and Magnum began shaking.  One more shot and Magnum stood tall and pointed a finger (ala Hulk Hogan) at the Banker and the Banker’s eyes went wide.  Magnum locks in the Drumstick (armbar), scoop slams the Banker and then hurls him into the corner and follows it up with the Ice Cream Sandwich (splash in corner).  The Banker falls to the mat.  Magnum makes the cover getting the 1-2-3.  Magnum gets the win and the fans pop huge for him.  The Banker rolls out of the ring and crawls over to Ruth.  He finds the keys that were dropped on the floor and frees Ruth from the cuffs.  She helps him to the back as Magnum celebrates in the ring.  He eventually leaves.  (26 min)

Backstage, Larry Morton is with Nix Anderson.  Anderson says that Matt Preacher cost him his livelihood and now, on his own, he will regain the title from Davis and there is nothing that he can do about it.

We cut to a different interview area where Clarkus Kentus is with TV Champion Davis Hoffmeister.  Davis says that Nix is one tough individual but, as he’s proven time and again, there is a reason he’s at the top of the ladder.  Davis tells Nix to bring his A-game as tonight, the better man is walking out with the TV championship.

We go back to the ring for our next match.  First, Nix Anderson comes out to a mixed reaction from the crowd.  He just makes his way to the ring and climbs in.  He goes and stands in a neutral corner.  Next, the music changes and the fans pop huge for the TV Champion Davis Hoffmeister.   Davis takes his title off, holds it high and puts it over his shoulder and makes his way down to the ring.  He enters and immediately climbs a turnbuckle and psyches up the crowd by holding the title over his head.  Davis walks to the center of the ring and hands the title to the ref.  The bell rings and this one is off.  Nix actually controls the pace of the match much to the surprise of the champ.  Well, Davis did tell Nix to bring his A-Game and it’s clear that he did.  13 minutes into the match, Nix began to sing to the crowd and then noticed that Davis was still down after hitting the Nixinator.  He went over to make the cover but he wasted too much time and only got a 2 count.  Davis battled back with a monkey flip followed by a dropkick.  Nix hit the Nix Strut but Davis threw him out of the ring.  Just as he was attempting to get back in, Hardcore Hensen came in from the crowd and hit Nix with the Hard Times and then threw him into the steel steps.  He then took off before the ref saw what was going on.  The ref began to count and eventually reached 10 and counted Nix out.  Davis retains the TV title via countout decision.  Davis leaves to a pop from the crowd.  Nix makes it back to his feet and he’s steeming.  He makes his way back unassisted.  (18 min)

Clarkus Kentus is backstage with Angry Jack Lawson.  Jack says that Ferguson never had anyone’s back but his own so he said that he made a call and things will change. 

Larry Morton is backstage with Supequake Ferguson.  Ferguson calls Angry Jack selfish and, well, full of anger.  He tells Jack to get help after tonight.

We head to the ring again and it starts off with Angry Jack Lawson coming out to booing from the fans.  Jack flips off some of the fans and threatens to hit others.  He gets in the ring and yells for Ferguson to get out there.  The music changes and out comes Superquake Ferguson to a pop from the crowd.  This match will have Street Fight rules so pretty much anything goes.  Once Superquake entered the ring, it didn’t take long for the two former partners to begin slugging it out.  Right away, the ref gets tossed out of the ring and is incapacitated.  The action then spilled outside the ring, on the ramp and the stage.  Finally, it was brought back to the ring.  Jack removed the corner turnbuckle cover.  Supequake locked in a bearhug but Jack got out of it, smashed Ferguson’s head into the exposed bracket and then hit him with a chokeslam.  That could have been it but the ref was just now recovering and the opportunity was missed.  Jack went over and began to yell at the ref.  Superquake got to his feet.  Jack then turned around and rushed at Superquake only to eat a big foot to the face.  Superquake made the cover and used all of his weight to keep Jack down for the 3 count.  Superquake gets the win and the fans pop for him.  Just as he was getting ready to leave, some guy rushes in from the crowd and begins to attack Ferguson.  Angry Jack recovers and the two beat Superquake down taking him out of the ring.  They then hit a double chokeslam on Superquake putting him through the ringside table.  Angry Jack stands tall with his new found partner.  I guess we’ll eventually find out who he is.  (17 min for the match; 3 for the aftermath)

Larry Morton is backstage with Leon Teremoto.  Leon says that as long as he gets a fair shake, he will be victorious.  When asked about how he was going to deal with potential interference from ‘the Singapore Sensation’ Matt Preacher, Leon responded “That is why we have an impartial referee.”  Larry wishes Leon good luck.

Also backstage, Clarkus Kentus is with the ITF Champion Jacques Beannot and his manager Matt Preacher.  Jacques says that he’s happy that no-talent goofball the Wicked Prophet isn’t here as he can barely hold a microphone.  Clarkus reminds Jacques that the Wicked Prophet will be refereeing his match tonight.  Preacher butts in and tells WP that he better call it down the middle or he will be facing a lawsuit so huge he’ll never work anywhere again.

First, the Wicked Prophet comes out dressed as a referee and the fans pop for him.  He gets into the ring and then the music changes and out comes Leon Teremoto.  Leon too gets a nice pop from the crowd.  Once in the ring, the music changes and out comes the ITF Champion Jacques Beannot with his manager.  Jacques makes a beeline for the ring, climbs in and begins pointing a finger at both Leon and the Wicked Prophet – a warning perhaps?  The Wicked Prophet calls for the match to begin but Jacques hadn’t gotten his jacket off yet.  Preacher began yelling at WP and the Prophet had enough and ejected Matt Preacher from ringside.  Preacher was livid; Jacques was pissed.  Leon was in control for the first 5 minutes of the match but after that, Jacques took over.  Leon planted the champ with quite a few powerbombs and even a one-time fast count from the Wicked Prophet didn’t help.  Jacques connected with two flying fivearms but Leon came back with a sitout sideslam and a splash in the corner.  Jacques locked in a sleeperhold but Leon turned it into a powerbomb.  He went for the pin but only got a 1 count.  Jacques came back with a jaw jacker and then began to have words with the Wicked Prophet.  Jacques turns around only to get planted with a spine buster.  Leon goes for the pin and the Prophet counts 1….2….3.  Leon Teremoto gets the win and is the NEW US Champion.  The Prophet raises Leon’s arm in victory and the two of them leave to a pop from the crowd.  Jacques eventually left. (21 min)

Clarkus Kentus is backstage with Apollo Gyze.  Apollo says that after everything that’s been said and done and how the ‘man’ has been holding him back, he’s finally ready for a title shot.  Apollo says he’s not apologizing for anything he’s done as he would do it again.  Apollo looks at the camera and tells Hardcore that the House of Preacher will be short more gold tonight.

Larry Morton is backstage with the Hardcore Champion Hardcore Hensen and his manager ‘the Singapore Sensation’ Matt Preacher.  Preacher begins with calling the last match a travesty.  He says that there is no way on this earth that some schmuck like Leon could hold a candle to Jacques.  Larry says that Wicked Prophet called it right down the line with no favoritism show.  Preacher calls this ‘fake news’ and says that Jacques will get his title back.  Right now though, Hensen will easily destroy Apollo and the belt comes home with him.  Hensen and Preacher leave.

We head back to the ring and are treated to the eye rolling “APOLLO GYZE DON’T APOLOGIZE” and Apollo makes his way out to the ring.  The fans boo him but he doesn’t care.  He mocks the fans from the ring and waits.  Next, Hardcore Hensen and his manager Matt Preacher come out.  Preacher gives Hensen some words of wisdom (and slips something into Hensen’s pocket) and Hardcore heads to the ring.  This Tables, Ladders and Chairs match gets started right away.  Hensen had the early advantage hitting Apollo with a chair but a few minutes later, Apollo bloodied up Hensen after smashing him with a ladder. 13 minutes in, Hensen hits the ‘Hard Times’ and makes the pin nonchalantly.  The ref counts 1…2…KICKOUT!  Hensen can’t believe it.  A couple of minutes later, Hensen throws Apollo into the ref and the ref goes down.  Hensen hits a stiff chair shot on Apollo but Apollo manages to shake it off and hit a legdrop from the top of the ladder. Hensen hits another stiff chair shot followed by a stiff clothesline.  The ref is still down.   Apollo bounces back with a jumping clothesline and an eye gouge blinding the champ.   The ref is back up.  Hensen lays in with hard chops and Apollo hits a spin out powerbomb.  He goes for the pin but Hensen kicks out at one.   Hensen struggles to his feet and Apollo hits him with a flying dropkick.  He makes the cover hooking the leg (and tights) and gets his foot on the ropes.  The ref counts 1…2…3.  Apollo Gyze is the winner and the NEW Hardcore Champion!!!  Apollo grabs a mic and asks the fans “Who is the new Hardcore Champion?  ‘Dis Gyze.  He drops the mic, holds his new title high and leaves.  (23 min)

There is a 15 minute break as the steel cage gets set up for the next two matches.

Larry Morton is backstage with Violet Valkyrie.  Larry says that it was pretty devious of her to masquerade as ‘the Soccer Mom’.  Violet laughs and says that Vanilla Zombie loves to play head games so now it was her turn.  She says that this has gone on long enough between them.  The cage ends it for one of them tonight.

Clarkus Kentus is backstage with Vanilla Zombie and her manager Matt Preacher.  Preacher begins to talk but Vanilla puts her hand up silencing him.  She turns to the camera and actually speaks.  “Violet, the cage ends careers.  Tonight, I will put you through a world of pain before ending you.  Tonight, the Zombies will rise and carry you away to the netherworld.”  She then starts to cackle which is kind of disturbing.

The cage is assembled and we are ready for our next match.  First, Vanilla Zombie comes out accompanied by her manager Matt Preacher.  ‘The Singapore Sensation’ walks with Vanilla down to the ring and glances up at the 12’ high ominous structure.  She enters the ring and waits.  The music changes and as smoke fills the stage, Violet Valkyrie comes shooting through it on her zipline as she rockets toward the cage.  She disengages from the zipline and rappels down outside of the cage.  Vanilla then rushes over and locks the cage door.  Violet is unimpressed and begins to scale the cage going over the top and then dropping to the mat when at a safe height.  She stares at Vanilla who stares back.  The match begins and Violet was in control for the first 8 minutes until Matt Preacher threw a chain into the ring and Vanilla used it to bloody up Violet.  12 minutes in, Violet locks in the triangle choke trying for a submission but they were too close to the ropes and Vanilla grabbed the rope forcing for the hold to be released.  Vanilla got to her feet and Violet ran to the other side of the ring and slingshot herself into Vanilla sandwiching her between the ropes and cage.  Violet goes for the pin again but Vanilla kicks out at 2.  A couple of minutes later, the ref gets bumped and he’s down for 5 minutes.  Violet and Vanilla then began really beating the hell out of each other.  Violet locks in the triangle choke again but there is no ref.  Matt Preacher reached in and eye raked Violet forcing her to break the hold.  Vanilla hits a vertical suplex and then begins to scale the cage.  Preacher jumps on the cage helping to direct Vanilla up.  Violet rushes over again sandwiching Vanilla in between the ropes and cage.  The impact knocked Preacher from the cage and he fell to the floor.  Violet makes the cover and gets the 3 count but she has to still escape.  She makes a beeline for the door only to have Vanilla stop her.   Vanilla hits the Soul Crusher but doesn’t make the pin.  Violet gets back to her feet and reverses the next Soul Crusher and drops her with a one handed bulldog.  She begins to scale the cage but Vanilla is too slow to stop her.  Violet goes over the top and drops to the floor.  Violet gets the win in this extremely hard fought match.  Violet celebrates with the fans and makes her way to the back. Vanilla exits the cage and leaves with Preacher.  (27 min)

Clarkus Kentus is with Ruby Rose backstage.  Ruby says she’s been waiting for the moment and now it’s finally here.  She says that the war ends tonight and there will be one victor – her.  Tonight, her dreams of becoming the Ladies Champion come true.

Larry Morton is backstage with the 2nd participant in our main event Kimberly Kiccsass.  Larry mentions that Ruby and Raquel teamed up to eliminate her from the battle royal.  Kimberly says that that is old news and the new news will be when she has her arm raised at the end of the night and is announced as the NEW Ladies Champion…that will be what people will be talking about.  She walks off.

Finally, the Ladies Champion is with Clarkus and she says that her competitors talk a big game.  She doesn’t care how talented they may be; they are not her and tonight, she proves it retaining her title in what is expected to be the best match of the night.  She heads to the ring.

It is time for our main event.  The steel cage is still in place.  First, Ruby Rose comes out to a HUGE pop from the crowd.  She high fives the fans and makes her way into the cage.  Next, Kimberly Kiccsass comes out and she is booed but she doesn’t care.  She also gets into the ring and stares daggers at Ruby.  Finally, the Ladies Champion Ravishing Raquel comes out to a decent pop from the crowd.  This Denver fan base is rooting for Ruby.
