Hello fans and
welcome back to the latest installment from HCW’s Phoenix Heat show. On the card tonight, Ladies Champion Ruby
Rose teams with Violet Valkyrie. US
Champion Leon Teremoto is also here tonight to wrestle but it will be a
non-title match. In a couple of
challenge matches, ‘the Ragin Cajun’ King Rad Gumbo challenges the Banker for
the #1 contender spot for the World Championship and Wilber Townsend takes on
Anthony ‘Static’ Boom for Boom’s spot in the US title top 10. Closing out the show will have the 6 Man Tag
Team Titles defended when the champions the Steel Curtain and Biceps Bannerman
take on Tommy Lightning and the Smashers.
With all this out of the way, let’s get this party started.
Pyro goes off and
we are ready to kick off tonight’s event.
First, Talon McFrost makes his way out to the ring to a mixed reaction
from the crowd. It wasn’t until he
flipped them off that they totally turned on him. Next, the music changed and out comes the US
Champion Leon Teremoto. The fans pop and
cheer as Leon makes his way down to the ring.
He climbs the turnbuckle holding his title high. He steps down and goes to lay the title in
the corner as this is not a title match.
The bell rings and right off the bat, Talon hits the Cold Stone and
tries for a pin but barely gets a one count.
After that, he got in one more offensive move and the rest was
Leon. This one didn’t go long as Leon
hit a powerbomb at the 5 minute mark to secure the 1-2-3. Leon gets the win and celebrates briefly
before leaving. (5 min)
We head backstage
and are in GM Master Bull’s office. Bull
is with Tacoma GM Max McGillicutty and we know the two will be doing a lot of
collaboration as we head to the PPV.
Their discussion is interrupted when ‘the Elitist’ Reid Rothchild walks
in. Reid complains that Drew the
Canadian Love Machine cost him his match and wants to know what Bull will do
about it. “I can’t do anything. You’re on the Tacoma roster. You need to take this up with Max.” Reid complains that Max is holding him back
and demands that Bull do something. When
it’s clear that Master Bull can’t do anything, Reid then demands that he be
added to the match to determine the #1 contender for the US title. Bull and Max think about it and agree to let
him in. Before walking off, Reid says
“I’m glad you two girls could decide on something” and exits the office.
We head back to
the ring for the next match. First,
Lavender Gooms comes out first to a small pop from the crowd. Next, ‘the Singapore Sensation’ Matt Preacher
comes out and is followed by Vanilla Zombie.
Both get booed as they head to the ring.
Vanilla hits the ring and attacks Lavender. Through 7 minutes, the match was relatively close
but after Vanilla hit the Soul Crusher, things went her way. Vanilla dazed Lavender with a headbutt and
the hit the Soul Crusher but when she went for the pin, she pulled Lavender up
by the hair. Preacher then signaled for
it to end and Vanilla hit a Zombie piledriver (looked nasty). She made the cover and got the easy
1-2-3. Vanilla Zombie gets the win and
stares at the camera sending a direct message at Ladies Champion Ruby Rose for
sure. (12 min)
Backstage, Ladies
Champion Ruby Rose and Violet Valkyrie are talking strategy when Missy Chick,
Sarona Reiher and Leslie Grimes all walk in.
They start talking smack and Ruby and Violet get into their faces. Leslie challenges them to a handicap match (3
on 2) but Ruby says that they are smarter than that and they’ll get a 3rd
person for their team. After another
brief staredown, the heels left.
Next up is the triple
threat battle to determine the #1 contender and who will go on to the PPV to
meet US Champion Leon Teremoto. First,
Leon comes out and goes to sit at commentary.
Next, the lights go dim and a single lantern lights the ramp and Wilber
Townsend makes his way out. His creepy
music plays in the background. He gets
in the ring and blows out the light in the lantern as the lights come up. Next, Anthony ‘Static’ Boom comes out to a
huge pop from the crowd. He high fives
the fans and makes his way into the ring.
Finally, ‘the Elitist’ Reid Rothchild finally makes his way out (his
music had been playing for like 15 seconds before he emerged from behind the
curtain). Reid sneers at the fans who
boo as he walks past. Anthony and Reid briefly teamed up to attack
Wilber but Reid was thrown out of the ring and Anthony was introduced to the
steel post the hard way and he got busted open.
Despite losing blood, Anthony was in there kicking some serious
ass. After a few minutes, he began to
slow down and got trapped in the Figure Four Reid lock. Wilber made the save and then dumped Anthony
out to the floor. Reid turned around
only to get hit by a short arm clothesline from Wilber. Wilber went for the pin and grabbed a handful
of tights and put his feet on the ropes for leverage and to secure the 3
count. Wilber Townsend gets the win and
will go on to face Leon Teremoto at the next show for the US title. Wilber leans over the ropes and starts to
laugh at Leon. Leon stands up and the
two have a stare down. Reid, pissed that
he got pinned, exited the ring and began putting the boots to Anthony. Just then, Drew the Canadian Love Machine
came down and chased Reid into the crowd.
(13 min)
Backstage ‘the
Ragin Cajun’ King Rad Gumbo mocks the Banker and says that he is nothing more
than a sniveley nothing and he will be the one getting the World Title match
and getting HIS belt back. He tells the
Banker that he needs to crawl back under the rock he was under and stay there.
We head back to
the ring for the next match. First, the team
of Leslie Grimes, Missy Chick & Sarona Reiher all make their way out first
to booing from the fans. They get in the
ring and begin mocking the fans. Next,
Violet Valkyrie and Ladies Champion Ruby Rose come out to a huge pop from the
crowd. Violet has a mic in hand and says
“How convenient for the three of you to challenge us when no one else was here.” Ruby takes the mic and adds “It doesn’t
matter what shenanigans you try, we can take you on our own.” All of a sudden, we hear over the loudspeaker
“…but you don’t have to” and out comes Hayley Hailstone. They all shake hands and then rush the
ring. The heels all bailed out of the
ring when the faces got the high ground.
Hayley, Violet and Ruby all climbed separate turnbuckles and the crowd
popped huge. They jumped down. Violet motioned for their challengers to
re-enter the ring. Finally, once they
did, there was a miscommunication on who would start. Violet didn’t care and began attacking all three
with Hayley and Ruby joining in. This
one was truly a slobberknocker of a match.
There was lots to double and triple teaming throughout the match. We pick up at the 37th minute of
the match and all 6 competitors are in the ring at the same time.

After a brief interaction with the fans, they 3 ladies made their way
backstage.
Tommy Lightning
and the Smashers are being interviewed and they say that the time has come for
the Steel Curtain and the turncoat Biceps Bannerman and he and the Smashers
will destroy them and take the titles.
Tommy says that the time for apologies has come and gone and tonight,
they will just kick ass instead.
Our next match
begins with ‘Pomp and Circumstance’ playing and out comes ‘the Ragin Cajun’
King Rad Gumbo and Queen Alexandria. They make their regal walk down to the ring
and get in. Rad immediately grabs a mic
and starts to call out World Champion Texas Wildfire for constantly ducking
him. Just then, music hit and out comes
the World Champion. Texas Wildfire makes
his way right down to the ring and enters swiping the mic from Rad. “Ducking you?
Really? I’ve had an open contract
since the day I BEAT you for this belt and you have been too busy to accept
it. Now, you want to call me out for ‘ducking’
you? Face it Gumbo…you lost your belt,
you lost your nerve and now, you’re just a shell of what you once were. Oh, and at the PPV, I’ll bet you lose the
crown too.” Gumbo grabs his crown and
holds it close. Wildfire leaves the ring
but goes to sit at commentary so that he can scout the match. Gumbo glares at him and then hands his cape
and crown to his Queen. Next, the Banker
and his manager Ruth Heartless make their way out. Ruth has a mic of her own. She says she echoes what Wildfire just said
and that the Banker is almost at the pinnacle.
Only one thing stands in their way…Gumbo. Tonight, the Banker defeats the King and will
secure his spot at the PPV where the only thing left will be to take the World
title. The Banker enters the ring and
sets his briefcase down in the corner. The
match begins with the Banker hitting a Late Charge Con-Chair-to but Gumbo
fights back with the Where ya at (quick jabs).
Queen Alexandria then distracts the Banker and Gumbo hits him from
behind and goes for a quick pin but the Banker kicks out. Gumbo then hits the Voodoo Driver and follows
it up with more quick jabs. The Banker
hits an Overdraft uppercut but Gumbo stuns him with more jabs. The Banker hits a deposit diving DDT and
again, Gumbo throws more jabs. The Banker
hits a withdrawal powerslam and Gumbo hits a Voodoo Driver. Gumbo locks in the New Orleans crab but the
Banker doesn’t submit. Ruth finally gets
fed up and grabs a can of hairspray. She
goes to spray it in Rad’s face but Queen Alexandria blindsides her and then
delivers a huge slap to the Banker’s face.
Gumbo rolls him up and gets the 1-2-3.
Holy Cow! Rad Gumbo just upset the
Banker becoming the #1 contender for the World Title. (9 min) Gumbo grabs a mic “Ya know, this just goes to
show that this guy is not a number 1 contender at all. The fact that I beat him so singlehandedly
goes to show he doesn’t deserve this.
However, I will NOT be taking his match.
He can have it. You claim that I
am afraid of you Wildfire… I think this proves I am not. In fact, I’ll state the fact right here and
now. At the Critical Mass PPV in April,
I will cash in my rematch clause. I don’t
care who the champion is at that time, I will be the Champion walking out that
night.” Gumbo drops the mic and he and
Queen Alexandria leave. Ruth and the
Banker leave. Well, I guess the Banker
is still getting his title shot. Texas
Wildfire does it a quick meet and greet with the fans before leaving.
We head backstage
one final time and we are with the 6 Man Tag Team Champions the Steel Curtain
and Biceps Bannerman. Bannerman and
Starbuck both agree that Tommy has gone over the edge and has lost all grasp on
reality. Buzz tells them not to hate him
but to pity him. Tommy has lost some of
his marbles (Buzz holds a bag of marbles in his hand) and tells Tommy that when
he’s ready to come back to reality, he can have his marbles back. The trio then go to make their way to the
ring.
It’s time for our
Main Event. First, the challengers Tommy
Lightning and the Smashers come out to a very loud and vocal booing from the
crowd. The Smashers threaten to hit some
fans and Tommy grabs and tears up a couple of signs that read “Tommy Sucks”. They get into the ring and the booing
continues until the music changes and out comes the 6 Man Tag Champs. The Steel Curtain (Starbuck and Buzz Steel)
and Biceps Bannerman come out to a huge pop from the crowd. In the ring, Tommy and the Smashers cover
their ears as the noise is so loud. The
champs make a beeline for the ring and Tommy and the Smashers bail. Eventually they all got into the ring. Buzz and Tommy started things off but was
super entertaining is that Tommy NEVER was allowed to tag out. Oh, the Smashers would come in during double
and triple teams but something always prevented Tommy from making the tag. On the few occasions he did, the ref didn’t
see it and would send the Smashers back to the outside. The Steel Curtain and Biceps otherwise kept
Tommy sequestered in their corner. 3
times during the match, Tommy would try for a pin but blatantly grabbed the
tights and the ref would refuse to count.
After the last time, the ref warned Tommy if he did it again, he would
be disqualified. Biceps made the hot tag
to Starbuck and Starbuck snuck in while Tommy’s interaction with the ref was
going on. Starbuck then rolled up Tommy
with a small package (and he grabbed the tights too but kept it well hidden)
and scored the pin. The Steel Curtain
and Biceps Bannerman win the match and retain their titles. Tommy snuck out of the ring and grabbed a
chair. Buzz ran over and hit him with
the Buzz Cut. Biceps picked him up and threw
him over his shoulder and went to the corner.
He then ran and planted Tommy with a huge powerslam. Starbuck then went to the top rope and hit
the Shooting Star Buck. The Smashers
finally got Tommy out of there and carried/dragged him all the way to the
back. The champions stayed in the ring soaking
in the adulation from the crowd as the show comes to an end.
Thanks for
reading. More action to follow so stay
tuned.
