HCW Wrestling Newsletter 2019 #758 – Phoenix Heat (03/27)


Hello fans and welcome back to another episode of HCW’s Phoenix Heat.  GM Master Bull comes out as pyro goes off and once complete, he thanks the crowd for attending.  He states that the fans will be in for a surprise tonight with the Tag Team Champions Scooter J and TNT appearing live to defend the titles.  The fans pop.  Bull says that the Hall of Fame class of 2019 is now complete.  Bull states that he will be inducting Sonic Blade as well as Reid Rothchild and Ravishing Raquel.  Bull reminds the fans and the wrestlers backstage that he doesn’t take any bulls*it from anyone and has confident that the road to Critical Mass will be one hell of a ride and thinks the fans will be pretty damn pleased with how it’s all going to play out.  Bull leaves.  Pyro goes off again and our show is ready to begin.


The first match begins with Missy Chick making her way out to a small pop from the crowd.  Next, Sarona Reiher makes her way out to booing from the crowd.  She flips them off which only irks them all the more.  She gets into the ring and continues taunting the fans before unloading on Missy.  Missy battled back and for a solid 12 minutes, both women were about even with neither taking the lead in the match.  After a trip to the outside of the ring, Sarona introduced Missy the hard way to the steel steps.  After that, she took control and even though she went for the pin a few times, Missy kept kicking out. As we entered the final minute of the match, Sarona began showboating but then Missy locked her up in a guillotine choke.  There was a race to see what would happen first…Sarona tapping out or the time limit expiring.  Just when it looked like Sarona was going to give in first, the bell rang bringing this one to a draw finish seconds before the tap out came.  The match ends in a time limit draw and Missy is disappointed but the fans give her a nice pop and she leaves with some satisfaction.  (20 min draw)


Backstage, the Steel Curtain (Starbuck and Buzz Steel) are watching the TV show Gotham when 5th Column members Baron von Blood and Karl Braun interrupt them.  Baron calls American TV trash and begins to bash all shows that are related to comics but then adds in ‘Big Bang Theory’.  Buzz stands up and says “That’s enough.  I draw the line.  Arrow, Flash, Legends…all great shows but don’t you DARE insult BBT.”  Karl asks him if his feeling are hurt.  Buzz says he’d be open to showing them what a hurt looks and feels like.  Karl accepts a match for later tonight.  After the Column leaves, Starbuck asks “I thought you didn’t like BBT.”  Buzz replies “I don’t but what better way to get ourselves a match tonight and throw down an ass whuppin.”  Starbuck laughs and says “Word.”


The next match is ready to go.  First, the Ambassador comes out and then introduces Rowdy Roderick Rothchild.  The fans boo as the duo make their way down to the ring.  Roderick struts around the ring but the fans then pop as Biceps Bannerman makes his way out.  Biceps high fives the fans as he makes his way down to the ring.  The Ambassador whispers something to Roderick before leaving the ring.  The bell rings (the Ambassador rang it before Biceps was ready) and Roderick took the early advantage.  Roderick kept in control for the majority of the match but a close call was averted when the Ambassador got Roderick’s foot on the bottom rope following a huge powerslam.  Biceps wasn’t happy with the Ambassador’s interference and threatened him.  Roderick distracted the ref and the Ambassador hit Biceps over the head with his cane breaking it.  Biceps fell to the ring.  Roderick rushed over and made the cover.  The ref didn’t see the mysterious blood on Bicep’s head and counted to 3.  Roderick gets the cheap win and continues his winning streak.  Roderick gets on the mic and tells the Banker or whomever will be the champion that he is coming for the World Title and once again, the world will relish in seeing a Rothchild as World Champion.   He and the Ambassador then leave.  (14 min)


Wilber Townsend is backstage cutting a promo.  “The world does not have a voice of its own. It can't tell you what it wants, what it needs. But it's yearning for something to point it in the right direction. A savior, perhaps. Save us, Leon Teremoto! You must forgive me. Where have my manners gone. I don't think I've had a chance to formerly introduce myself. You may call me Wilber Townsend. But I have a thousand faces and a million names. Seducer, accuser, destroyer. I am the color red in a world full of black and white, and if you value your ability to breathe, don't get too close. Save us, Leon. Save yourself.”


We head back to the ring for our next match.  First, Bob ‘Powder’ Keg makes his way out to the ring.  He gets a decent pop from the crowd.  Next, his opponent Talon McFrost comes out to a mixed reaction from the crowd.  I guess the fans are not sure who to cheer for and who to boo.  Talon enters the ring and is immediately attacked by Bob so that helps to set the tone.  Keg was explosive in this match and he totally controlled the pace of the entire match.  Although both men went for the pin numerous times, neither was able to secure that elusive 3 count.  Just as the match was nearing the time limit, Bob hit a huge powerslam off the ropes.  He however took his time in making the cover so that he could jawjack with the fans.  By the time he made the cover, the bell rang bringing this one to a draw finish.  Bob wasn’t happy and had words with the ref.  Bob then slugged the ref but Talon was right there and dropped Bob with the Cold Stone.  Bob rolled out of the ring cursing Talon as he backed up the ramp.  Talon checked on the ref who seemed to be ok and then the two headed to the back.  (20 min draw)


 Niven and Tobias Snake are backstage and they say that they are getting their shot at glory tonight when they get their shot at the tag team titles.  They are interrupted by Baron von Blood and Karl Braun (I guess these two are just trying to cause trouble).  Baron says he can’t understand how these two nobodies rank higher than the Column.  Tobias tells him it’s because one team sucks and it’s definitely not the Pit.


We go back to the ring and the lights dim.  A single lantern lights the way as Wilber Townsend makes his way out.  “Beware the buzzards” he croaks as he makes his way into the ring.  The lights comes up as he extinguishes the lantern.  The music changes and out comes Leon Teremoto.  Leon stops on the stage and with mic in hand, he says that he is not yet cleared to wrestle but he has a friend who has no problem stepping into the ring with Wilber.  We hear a familiar chime of a bell and out comes ‘the King of Cones’ Magnum Kone.  Magnum stops and shakes hands with Leon and offers him an ice cream sandwich.  Magnum hands out a couple more treats and then gets in the ring.  Magnum stands tall imposing his size over the crazy Wilber Townsend.  The bell rings and this one is off to the races.  Magnum had control of the match until Roderick Rothchild made his way out.  He went to sit at commentary and just stared daggers at Magnum.  Wilber took advantage of the distraction and attacked.  After a few minutes, Magnum began to battle back dropping Wilber with the Push Pop.  Roderick then stood up and made his way to the ring.  Magnum stopped and began questioning why Roderick was out here.  Wilber attacked once again hitting the Go To Sleep.  He made the cover and Magnum got his foot on the bottom rope but Roderick knocked it off before the ref could see it.  The ref counted to 3 (none the wiser) and awarded the match to Wilber.  Wilber sat in the ring and began to laugh.  He then rolled out of the ring and made his way to the back.  Roderick rolled in to the ring and picked up Magnum.  He motioned he was going for the stunner but then Magnum bounced back like a major force and began peppering Roderick with lefts and rights.  He threw Roderick into the ropes but Roderick held on and then escaped from the ring before Magnum could do any more damage.  Roderick jawjacked with Magnum as he made his way to the back.  Magnum interacted with the fans before he too left.  (12 min)


The Jacks (Mean Jack Mason and Angry Jack Lawson) are backstage and they promise that before the show ends, they will be getting a title shot.


Back at the ring, we are getting ready for tag team action.  First, 5th Column members Karl Braun and Baron von Blood make their way out to booing from the crowd.  The get in the ring and continue to antagonize the fans.  Then the music changed and out comes the Steel Curtain.  Buzz and Starbuck Steel are in the house and the fans blow the roof off.  Buzz and Starbuck make their way down to the ring.  They get in and begin to get the crowd psyched up.  They keep a wary eye out for the troublemakers.  The bell rings and the match officially begins.  For 5 minutes, the Column used cheating tactics to stay toe to toe with the Curtain but then eventually the experience the Curtain has kicked in and they totally dominated the 5th Column.  As the match wore on, Karl has just got done choking Starbuck on the ropes and he turned to Buzz and said “How do you like them apples?” and as soon as he turned around, Starbuck was standing there.  Karl tried to beg him off but Starbuck extended his hand.  Karl looked at the fans and then back at Starbuck.  He began to extend his own hand and Starbuck instead poked him in the eye.  He then rolled Karl up and got the 3 count.  The Steel Curtain get the win.  Baron hit the ring but Starbuck and Buzz bailed laughing.  The fans laughed along with them.  Eventually the 5th Column left. (15 min)


Tag Team Champions Scooter J and TNT are backstage and they laugh at what just transpired.  TNT says that the Steel Curtain are quickly moving up the ranks and perhaps sooner rather than later, they will have to meet them.  Scooter J says they will worry about that when the time comes but for now, they have 2 members from the Snake Pit tonight.  SJ credits the Pit for being “street tough” but they are not as ring savvy as they are.  TNT then adds that the Jacks have something up their sleeves and Scooter J says they will deal with them.


It is time for the main event.  First, Niven and Tobias Snake come out to a decent pop from the crowd.  The music changed after the Pit was in the ring and the World Tag Team Champions Scooter J and TNT make their way out.  The fans give them a nice reception and the champs head down to the ring.  They climb in and scale the corner turnbuckles holding their titles high.  The fans continue to pop.  They then hand the titles to the ref and this one is ready to go.  For the first few minutes, the champs did dominate but then the Pit got their collective heads together and really gave the champs a run for their money.  Just then, we see Angry Jack Lawson and Mean Jack Mason walking through the crowd.  They make their way to the first row and push two guys out of their seats and they sit down.  They begin throwing stuff at the champs in the ring laughing all the way.  Eventually security came over and escorted them away after the fans who got kicked from their seats complained.  Just as they were leaving, Mean Jack stooped down and picked up a pale of some liquid and threw it at Scooter J and TNT covering them with it (it looked might gross whatever it was).  The Jacks laughed and finally left.  The ref gave the two a minute to clean themselves off (I wonder why there wasn’t a DQ for the outside interference).  They got back in the ring but there were only a few minutes left and the match ended up as a time limit draw.  Scooter J and TNT take their titles and leave.  Niven and Tobias were just getting ready to leave when the 5th Column (Baron, Karl and Oswald Zimmerman) came in from the crowd and attacked them.  Things were getting dicey until Leiton Snake made his way out.   He makes his way to the ring but doesn’t get in.  The distraction though was just enough for Tobias and Niven to battle back and dump the Column out of the ring.  It takes a moment but finally Niven sees Leiton on the outside.  Tobias motions for his brother to join him in the ring.  Leiton cautiously enters.  Tobias thanks him for coming down.  Leiton and Niven then stare at each other.  After a very tense moment, Niven extends his hand.  Leiton looks to the crowd who pops.  Leiton shakes Niven’s hand and then the 3 do the fist bump in the middle of the ring.  The Snake Pit is reunited once more.  The fans pop as the 3 members stand tall in the ring and with that, the show comes to an end.


Thanks for reading.  I’m sure the Snake Pit will let us know what is transpiring soon so stay tuned.
