HCW Wrestling Newsletter 2019 #764 – Phoenix Heat (04/15) – Go Home Show (last PH show before the PPV)


Hello fans and welcome back to another installment of HCW’s Phoenix Heat.  We cut right to the chase and the show begins back in the office of GM Master Bull.  Master Bull says that due to the additional injuries sustained at the hands of a masked man, Leon Teremoto is not fit for the match at the PPV against US Champion Anthony Boom and says that on PPV day 2, they will hold a battle royal and the winner of that will be the one who gets the title shot against Anthony Boom on day 3.  It’s a tough break for Leon.


Pyro goes off and our show kicks off.  First, 5th Column member Oswald Zimmerman comes out to booing from the fans.  They change their tune a few moments later when his opponent Leiton Snake makes his way out to a decent reaction from the crowd.  He gets in the ring and the match begins seconds later.  Oswald actually managed to control the tempo of the match and it wasn’t until the very end that Leiton began to make a comeback.  Oswald began to choke Leiton to further delay his comeback attempt.  He then turned and began to insult the crowd.  As soon as he turned around, Leiton hit him with a buckle bomb but the bell rang signaling the end of the match before he could go for the pin.  The match ends in a draw however the remaining 5th Column members Karl Braun and Baron von Blood ran out to attack Leiton but the remaining members of the Snake Pit (Tobias & Niven Snake) rushed out to even the odds.  The 2 teams then battled all the way to the back.  (20 min draw)


The Steel Curtain (Buzz and Starbuck Steel) are backstage and they see Master Bull.  They tell him that Biceps isn’t there tonight but they want a match.  Bull tells them they have a lot of tag matches already on the card so the Curtain will be wrestling in singles matches.  Buzz and Starbuck look at each other and simultaneously say “Word”.


The next match is ready to go.  First, the lights dim and then out comes Wilber Townsend carrying a single lantern.  He makes his way down and into the ring as the fans boo him.  Once in the ring, he extinguishes the lantern and the lights come up.  Next, Buzz Steel makes his way out and the fans pop for him.  He gets into the ring and Wilber tries to attack him before the bell but Buzz catches him and Wilber backs off and laughs.  Buzz gets in the first shot but then Wilber took over for 10 minutes.  Buzz would hit the Buzz Cut and that gave him back control of the match.  The two would continue to trade power shots all the way to the time limit.  Another one ends in a draw finish.  Wilber was first to leave but as soon as he did, Tommy Lightning rushed in from the crowd and attacked Buzz.  Starbuck came out right away and chased Tommy off.  The brothers shake hands.  Starbuck says his match is next so he’ll just stay out here and wait for his opponent.  (20 min draw)


The next match begins almost immediately with Starbuck already in the ring.  5th Column member Baron von Blood came out for the match and is immediately booed.  It’s announced that a special guest referee will be hanging outside the ring to prevent any outside interference.  The Wicked Prophet comes out to a pop from the crowd.  He remains on the outside to thwart any interference.  The Baron got in some early shots but Starbuck eventually got control of the match.  Once again, Tommy Lightning showed up and as he approached the ring, the Wicked Prophet was there to cut him off and send him to the back.  As the Prophet turned to head back to the ring, he is attacked from behind by Hardcore Champion Apollo Gyze.  The two then fight all the way to the back.  Starbuck and Baron continue to fight in the ring and much to our surprise, another match goes to a 20 minute draw.  Starbuck just finished bouncing Baron’s head off all the corner turnbuckles and Baron dropped to the mat.  It is shocking that we’ve now had 3 matches all back to back end in draw finishes.  Starbuck leaves and Baron makes it to his feet but he is soon greeted by all 3 members of the Snake Pit.  The three brothers put their fists together and then begin to pummel Baron.  Each hit their ending moves on him and then left to a pop from the crowd.


The Jacks are backstage and they complain that the champs aren’t here and since they are not allowed to retaliate, they say that they want to beat up someone tonight as they are not allowed to come near the “precious” tag team champs.  GM Master Bull says he will find a team to meet them.


We go back to the ring for our next match.  First, Otto Ruthless comes out to booing from the crowd.  He gets into the ring and then the royal music plays and out comes ‘Red Hot’ King Lucas Johnston makes his way out to a huge pop from the crowd.  King Lucas climbs up on the apron but Otto is there and knocks him to the floor.  Otto goes after him, stomping and punching and then rolls the King back into the ring.  King Lucas immediately battled back and began to own Otto.  Just then, Ned Rhyerson III comes out to distract King Lucas.  He stops, baffled by the appearance of his PPV opponent and as soon as he turned around, Otto hit him with the Ruthless Aggression.  Otto goes for the cover and hooks the leg (and puts his foot on the ropes for leverage) and gets the 3 count.  Otto steals a win and the fans boo the crap out of him.  Ned laughs from the outside.  Otto tries to jaw jack with Lucas but the King starts throwing lefts and rights and sends Otto to the ropes and then hurls him over the top rope and right on to Ned.  The fans pop as King Lucas stands tall and Otto and Ned pick themselves up and grumble as they make their way to the back.  The Red Hot King makes his way to the back shortly thereafter.  (9 min)


Backstage, Roderick Rothchild and Dr. Red Fang are pushing people around but they stop when they are approached by the US Champion Anthony Boom and the King of Cones Magnum Kone.  Kone stands up to Roderick and says that the two of them will meet at the PPV but if they’re itching for a match, he and Boom would be happy to oblige.  Fang snarls and he and Roderick head to the ring.  Boom says “Well, I guess we got ourselves a match.” Magnum nods.


The Ambassador comes out first and introduces first Roderick Rothchild.  The fans boo but the noise increases when we hear “VAMPIRE LUNGES FOR EVERYONE” and out comes the evil vampire bot Dr. Red Fang.  Fang comes out snarling and growling at the fans and Roderick shows the fans how to count but only sticks with one.  They get in the ring and after some jaw jacking with the fans, the music changes and first out comes the US Champion Anthony ‘Static’ Boom. Boom stands on stage and then jumps in the air and when he lands, the cannons sound with dual “BOOMS”.  Following that, we hear the familiar ringing of a bell that means the ice cream cart is making its way out pushed by none other than the King of Cones Magnum Kone.    Magnum and Anthony make their way down to the ring.  Anthony actually helped distribute the ice cream treats to the kids at ringside.  They deplete their stash and then climb into the ring.  Dr. Red Fang starts off attacking Anthony and hits him with the Skull Crusher.  He then tagged out to Roderick who came in and shoved Magnum off the apron.  He then took Anthony down with a single leg take down (an ACTUAL wrestling move).  He then turns and showboats in front of the fans.  Roderick takes Anthony down again with another leg take down but Magnum takes a swing at Roderick who backs up and ends up tripping over Anthony.  Anthony then locked in a Figure Four leglock.  Magnum first took out the Ambassador and Dr. Red Fang and turned his attention back to the match.   Roderick struggled and got his hands on the ropes but Magnum knocked them off.  Roderick then had no choice and then tapped out.  Anthony and Magnum get the win via submission in only 3 minutes.  Fang rushes into the ring with a chair but Anthony and Magnum bolt and laugh at the two as they make it up the ramp and the fans cheer them all the way.  Fang and Rothchild stew a little longer and then leave.


For the main event, Mean Jack Mason and Angry Jack Lawson come out and hit the ring.  Mean Jack gets on the mic and calls out GM Master Bull.  Bull comes out.  Mason complains about wanting to know who their opponents are.  Bull says that he could not find a team to meet them.  Mason laughs and calls Bull incompetent.   Bull corrects himself and says that he couldn’t find a “team” but he found two individuals who are more than happy to team up for the main event.  Bull points to the back and the fans pop as the TV Champion Davis ‘the Hoff’ Hoffmeister and Drew the Canadian Love Machine come out.  The noise was deafening.  Two of the biggest fan favorites (and opponents at the PPV) team together for one night.  They make their way to the ring.  They manage to get the crowd psyched up before the Jacks went into action going after the fan favorites.  After the first minutes, Mean Jack gets tagged in and goes to town.  Angry Jack is tagged in and after a huge dropkick, Davis tags Drew in.  Lawson tries for an eye rake but Drew nullifies it and tags Davis back in.  Davis hits Lawson with a piledriver and goes for the pin but Angry Jack kicks out at one.  The Omegatron lighs up and it’s the Tag Team Champions Scooter J and TNT. They laugh at the Jacks and hold up two dolls that look like the Jacks but are dressed in drag.  Mean Jack jumps off the apron and yells at the tv which is pretty funny in itself.  Davis then hits Angry Jack with a flying dropkick.  Davis makes the cover and gets the 3 count.  Mean Jack hears the bell and realizes he’s been duped.  He rushes back into the ring but Davis and Drew leave.  The show comes to an end with Davis and Drew leaving to a huge pop from the crowd and leaving the Jacks standing in the ring all alone.


The Hall of Fame ceremony is up next.  Stay tuned.
