Hello fans and
welcome back to the HCW Wrestling Newsletter.
Today is Day 3 and the final day of our PPV Zero Hour. The last two days have totally off the
hook. A recap of yesterday’s show
reveals:
· The team of
Maximillian Redbeard, Superquake Ferguson and Killa Pops defeated Wilber
Townsend, Anthony Boom and Leon Teremoto to become the new 6 Man Tag Team
Champions. Leon and Anthony end up
turning on Wilber to become fan favorites again.
· Outback Oscar
defeated the returning Madman Mason to retain the Hardcore title however Mason
took his frustrations out on Oscar after the match and put the champ into the
hospital for an unknown period of time.
· In a grudge match
against the 5th Column, Davis Hoffmeister, El Chango and Leon Teremoto
were victorious after El Chango scored the win for the team. The fans popped huge as a version of the
Desperados were reformed for one night.
· Apollo Gyze
defeated Jack Lawson to retain the US title however he was surprised by a
returning ‘Ragin Cajun’ Rad Gumbo. Gumbo
drank beer with the fans.
· Ladies Champion
Sassy Maxine DeVito defeated Catalina Harper by “submission” however it
appeared the fix was in with the referee.
Management will be reviewing the tape and take the appropriate action.
On the card today,
we finish our PPV with the following matches:
Drew the CLM,
Magnum Kone & a mysterious teammate vs the Snake Pit
TV Champion The Banker vs TBD
· Scooter J vs Dr.
Red Fang in an ECW Rules Match
· Anytime/Anywhere
Champion Biceps Bannerman vs Col Flagg
· World Champion the
Wicked Prophet vs Texas Wildfire.
Pyro goes off and
the fans pop huge. GM Max McGillicutty
comes out accompanied by GM Master Bull.
The two go on to talk about the show today and state that everyone will
be getting well deserved rest and relaxation with plenty of time to heal from
nagging injuries. Bull says that even
though their home in Phoenix is gone, the shows will continue; just up in the
PNW. Max says HCW will be on tour
throughout 2020 but more importantly, we are going down to one show a week with
a “Saturday Night’s Main Event” style show taking place once a month. The fans seemed to be fine with the
announcement. Bull and Max then leave to
let the show get started.
The show begins
with a video playing on the Omegatron: We open in an operating room. Several
Doctors and nurses are working on a male patient. The soap opera music can be heard. The camera
floats up to an observation window and glides through. Inside. Handsome young Dr.
R. Fang is watching the operation, a nurse is at his side. "I should be
down there." He says with melodramatic words. The music changes to match.
"But Doctor,” the nurse says, turning handsome young Dr. Fang to face her.
"Your skills are needed elsewhere.”
Handsome young Dr. Fang adopts a heroic pose, “You are right nurse; so
many people need my help." He then sweeps past her, heading for the exit.
The nurse looks after his retreating form and whispers, "Vampire Lunges
for everyone."
Well, it seems
that Scooter J can’t stop taking pot shots at our resident vampire Dr. Red Fang. The two cost each other their titles (Fang
losing the Hardcore title and Scooter J losing the TV title) so there is much
animosity between the two.
Pyro goes off once
again and our show officially kicks off.
First, over the loudspeakers, we hear “Ah-ten-shun! Get on your feet you maggots and celebrate a
real hero”. Col. Samuel Flagg walks out
to massive booing from the crowd. He
flips them off not caring about who he offends.
He threatens to hit a few fans who were seriously mouthing off to
him. He kept walking and got into the
ring. Next, the music changes and out
comes the new Anytime/Anywhere Champion Biceps Bannerman. The crowd pops huge for Biceps. He comes out and stands on the stage holding
his title high. As he begins to walk
down to the ring, he is ambushed by some masked men wearing military
fatigues. The stomp and beat down on
Bannerman. Finally, they drag him to the
ring and roll him in. Flagg calls for
the bell to ring. He makes the cover and
the ref counts 1..2…POWEROUT! Biceps
almost launched him out of the ring.
Bannerman gets to his feet and he’s pissed. Flagg tries to run away but Bannerman catches
him and begins to beat the living tar out of him. Bannerman dominated for 5 minutes until Flagg,
who appeared to load something into his boot, stomped Biceps in the head
disorienting him. He went for the quick
pin but Biceps powered out. Flagg would get in a few shots but Bannerman fought
back with a huge powerslam and even a Biceps Crunch but Flagg wouldn’t tap
out. Flagg tried to throw Biceps out of
the ring but it was neutralized. The ref
missed Flagg hitting Biceps with a low blow but then Flagg tapped his boot on
the mat and then kicked Bannerman in the head again. He went for the pin and got the 3 count. Col. Flagg won the match and just became the
Anytime/Anywhere champion. Flagg takes the
belt and holds it high. He sees
Bannerman starting to stir so he takes his belt and runs to the back. An enraged Bannerman, with a little blood trickling
down his forehead, follows. (15 min)
Drew the Canadian
Love Machine is backstage with the King of Cones Magnum Kone. Drew says that the cat may already be out of
the bag but for those not in the know, this guy will be their partner in the
upcoming match against the Snake Pit. In
walks Anthony Boom. Boom says that
whatever spell Wilber had him under is gone and he’s his own man now. Tonight, he helps right some wrongs and the
Snake Pit will learn the hard way not to mess with them.
Our next match
begins with the Snake Pit (Leiton, Tobias and Niven Snake) coming out to boos
from the crowd. They stand on the stage
and do a fist bump before heading down to the ring. They enter the ring and begin to verbally
antagonize the fans. The music changes
and out comes the team of Anthony Boom, Magnum Kone and Drew the Canadian Love
Machine. They high five a few fans but
are laser focused. Leiton leans over the
ropes motioning from them to get in the ring.
Drew and his team oblige and a slobber knocker ensues. The ref finally regains control and then officially
starts the match. The two teams battle
for a solid 9 minutes and are practically even.
A quick double team by Drew and Leon gave their team the advantage. We join the match at the 13 minute mark.

Drew, Leon and
Anthony get the win and the fans practically blow the roof off the place. They stand united in the ring while the Snake
Pit slither to the back. They interact
with the fans for a few moments before heading to the back on their own.
We head to the
back where the Ambassador and Dr. Red Fang are stewing. The Ambassador says “Scooter J, you think you’re
a funny guy. Well Mr. Comedian, once Fang is done with you, you won’t be
laughing anymore.” The camera closes in
on Fang and we hear him mumble “Vampire Lunges for you Scooter J.”
We are back at the
ring for more action. First, the TV
Champion the Banker comes out with his manager Ruth Heartless. Ruth was single handedly responsible for the demise
of the Phoenix Heat brand (she allowed the contract on their location to
expire). They are booed as they head to
the ring. The Banker hands Ruth his
briefcase and the TV title before speaking into the mic. “Shut your faces and quit your whining. You don’t speak to my manager that way. Keep it up and it will be a Tax Audit for
each and every one of you. Hey,
backstage, why don’t you send my opponent out so we can get this moving?” There is a brief lull until a returning
Matches Malone makes his way out. Malone
was last seen after his scaffold match against Texas Wildfire. He was injured and apparently has been
cleared for action. He comes down to the
ring and gets in. The Banker begins to
laugh almost doubling over. Ruth leaves
the ring and tells the ring attendant to start the match. The Banker hits Matches with a Credit Check
chop but Malone bounces the Banker’s head off the turnbuckle. The Banker then hurls Malone out of the
ring. Ruth sneaks up behind Malone and
clobbers him with the briefcase denting it.
She rushes back to her side of the ring to avoid being seen by the
ref. The ref begins to count. 1…2…3…4…5…6…7…8…9…10. The ref counts Malone down and out and awards
the match to the Banker via countout in only 2 minutes. The Banker gets on the mic and says that if
Malone is any representation of the rest of the roster, then he will be World
Champion again in no time. He says that
he was ready for a match and was disappointed by this one. He says he’s open to anyone coming out. Music hits almost immediately and out comes
Drew the Canadian Love Machine. The
Banker is speechless. Drew rushes down
to the ring and climbs in saying he’ll take the Banker on.
Drew hits the La
Casita and tries to follow it up with an arm drag takedown but the Banker
nullifies it. As the Banker distracts
the ref, Ruth hits Drew in the ribs with the briefcase. The Banker hits a Repossession Rib Buster and
goes for the pin but Drew kicks out. Drew
hits an armdrag takedown but the Banker holds on to Drew’s arm and locks in the
ATM Fee Armbar. Drew is trapped in the
middle of the ring and the Banker starts to cinch back adding more pressure to
Drew’s midsection where he got hit by the briefcase. Drew tries to make it to the ropes but he is
too far away and ends up tapping out.
The Banker gets the win and holds his title in front of Drew’s
face. Drew gets to his feet and grabs
the Banker by the throat. Ruth sneaks in
from behind and tries to hit Drew again but the Canadian Love Machine turns
just as Ruth is swinging the briefcase and she hits the Banker by mistake. Ruth drops the briefcase as Drew chases her
out of the ring. The Banker also rolled
out of the ring. Drew grabs the briefcase
and opens it up revealing lots of cash. Drew
starts to grab wads of cash and throws it to the fans. Ruth rushes back in and grabs the case from
Drew and hightails it to the back with dollars floating out of the open
case. Drew celebrates with the fans before
heading to the back. (4 min for the
match; 5 for the aftermath)
We cut to Scooter
J and TNT backstage and they are re-watching the “Dr. R Fang videos”. Scooter J tells TNT that he’s going to bury
that vampire and they won’t have to have his demented presence plaguing them
anymore. After he’s done with Fang, he
will turn his attention back to some title.
He puts every champion on notice that no one’s belt is safe. TNT then adds “Not even the Ladies title” and
laughs. Scooter J looks at him
quizzically. “I think I’ll pass on that
one”. They then walk off.
We head back to
the ring for the next match. The
loudspeakers blares with “VAMPIRE LUNGES FOR EVERYBODY” and out comes the evil
diabolical Dr. Red Fang. Fang is accompanied
to the ring by his manager the Ambassador. The duo are booed as they head down
to the ring. Once in the ring, the music
changes and out comes Scooter J and TNT.
They too are equally booed by the crowd but SJ saunters down to the
ring. TNT walks over and begins to have
words with the Ambassador. The ref sends
both TNT and the Ambassador to the back to avoid any interference even though
this is a no –DQ match. The ref says
that the rules for this one are ECW Rules.
The bell rings and this one begins outside the ring. Scooter J beings by eye raking Fang but Fang
bounces SJ’s head on the ringside barrier.
Fang follows it up with a Skull Crusher and then rolls Scooter J back
into the ring. Scooter J catches Fang
with a Superkick and a quick pin but Fang kicks out at 1. Scooter J tries for a belly to belly suplex
but Fang reverses it and applies a spider web lock. He goes for a pin but only gets a 2
count. Scooter J drops Fang with a
clothesline. Scooter J hits a belly to
belly suplex but Fang hits him with a Vampire Lunge. Fang goes for the pin but SJ kicks out at
2. Fang can’t believe it. Scooter J nails the 10 punches and goes for
the pin but Fang kicks out. SJ can’t
believe it. Fang nails an airplane spin
and SJ is woozy on his feet. Fang hits
the Skull Crusher again and rolls up Scooter J with a handful of tights and his
feet on the ropes to get the 1-2-3. Dr.
Red Fang gets the win and the fans boo.
Scooter J exits the ring and grabs a steel chair and re-enters the ring
blasting Fang in the head with it. Fang
is unfazed. Scooter J hits him a second
time and Fang shakes it off. Scooter J
kicks Fang in the gut, drops the chair and then nails a DDT on the chair. Fang is out.
Scooter J stands up laughing. He
climbs the turnbuckle showing off but a collective “OHHH” from the crowd makes
SJ turn around. He sees Fang get to his
feet, sees the chair and then looks at Scooter J. SJ visibly gulps and then exits the ring with
Fang in high pursuit. (9 min for the
match; 3 for the aftermath)
Backstage, Texas
Wildfire is with Larry Morton. TW tells
Morton and the fans that he did something that he’d never done before. He underestimated his opponent. Now, this time, he is ready. The World Title has been misrepresented ever
since The Wicked Prophet became the champion but tonight, he rights a
wrong. Tonight, he takes the World title
and brings honor back to the belt. He
then walks off.
Also backstage is
World Champion The Wicked Prophet and he is with Clarkus Kentus. Prophet addresses the fans and says that
Wildfire is delusional. Ever since Wildfire
lost the title, he’s been moping around crying into his soup. Tonight will be no different. Tonight, he solidifies himself as one of the
greatest Champions ever by defeating Wildfire for the 3rd time. Tonight, the “real” champion walks out. Prophet walks off.
We are treated to
one final video. It cuts to an offsite
venue…it looks like an Applebees. The
cameraman enters and we see, sitting at the bar, someone we haven’t seen in HCW
in quite some time. It’s Phat Sol! Phat appears to be depressed and is drowning
his sorrows with drink. Apparently, he
has a crush on the Goth hostess but she continues to ignore his advances. He stumbles outside and in his drunken
stupor, he passes out in the dumpster behind the Applebees. He awakens moments later, comes to his senses
and heads to the gym right around the corner.
He walks in and says “I’m ready for training.” He walks over to where others are getting
ready for a workout. The cameraman
leaves. I wonder if this means Phat is
making a comeback in 2020…I guess we’ll see what happens next year.
It is time for our
main event. First, Texas Wildfire comes
out to a HUGE pop from the crowd. He
comes out and high fives the fans and makes his way to the ring. He gets in and climbs the turnbuckle to an
even louder pop. He steps down and
stands in the center of the ring waiting for his opponent. The music changes and out comes the World
Champion the Wicked Prophet. He is booed
and fans begin a “Wicket” chant at him.
He ignores them all and walks down to the ring exuding confidence. He climbs in the ring and walks past
Wildfire. He climbs each of the four corner
turnbuckles in turn holding his hands high with the title strapped across his
waist. He finally climbs down for the
last time and stands face to face with Wildfire in the center of the ring. He hands the title to the ref and the bell
rings to start this one off.

Thanks for
reading. HCW will return in January. Until then, happy holidays and enjoy the
season of perpetual giving (or retaining where it applies to the champions
still in possession of their titles).
