Hello fans and
welcome back to another installment of HCW’s Tacoma Thunder. It was a brazen move on the part of the World
Champion the Banker to throw out the challenge he did. The Banker’s challenge is basically putting
his career on the line against Master Bull’s run as GM. Master Bull has pretty much accepted the
challenge and for something this huge, it will be scheduled for our 775th
Supershow that will take place here in Tacoma on June 2nd. The Banker demanded neutral ground and that
is why it will be in Tacoma vs in Phoenix.
Pyro goes off and
the show is ready to go. The cameras and
the spotlights zoom over the audience and we see some new signs that the fans
have brought with them today:
“Wicked
Prophet: No 420 for you”
“420: the day the preaching died”
“Wicked Prophet is
no better than Apollo Gyze”. Ouch, that
was a zinger!
The show begins
with Hardcore Champion Apollo Gyze in GM Max McGillicutty’s office. Apollo laughs saying that Nix isn’t in his
league but if he wants a shot at the big dog, he can give it a try. Apollo leaves.
Our first match is
ready to go. First, Shawn ‘Abs of Stone’
Austin comes out to booing from the crowd.
He gets into the ring and taunts the fans until the music changes and
out comes Scooter J to a huge pop from the crowd. He makes his way down to the ring and Shawn
charges at him making Scooter J take a step back. Shawn laughs calling Scooter J a coward. Once the bell rang, it was all Scooter
J. Shawn got in a couple of good licks
but it never amounted to much. The
longer the match went on, the more apparent it was that SJ was just toying with
him. He finally looked up at the clock
and saw that less than 60 seconds remained.
Shawn hit him from behind with some power forearms but SJ then whalloped
him with the 10 punches. Shawn dropped
to the mat. Scooter J made the cover and
got the 3 count seconds before the time limit was going to run out. Scooter J gets the win and receives a nice
pop from the crowd. He leaves. Shawn eventually gets up shaking his
head. He tried to complain that Scooter
J used closed fists but the ref shook his head and left. Shawn left after much taunting from the
crowd. (20 min)
‘The Singapore
Sensation’ Matt Preacher is backstage.
He says he has two of his charges in matches tonight. Vanilla Zombie gets to go all wacky on her
opponent and the Hardcore Champion Apollo Gyze will have a match but it will
not be for the title. A comment was made
that Apollo hasn’t been his vocal self for some time. Preacher said that Apollo finally has his
head on straight and knows he doesn’t have to pander to the crowd as some
schmucks do. Apollo gets to stretch his
legs and continue to prove his dominance in the sport. Preacher then walks off.
Our next match is
ready to go. First, Sarona Reiher makes
her way out to a small pop from the crowd.
She tries to get the crowd psyched up but as soon as her opponent’s
music hit, they began booing. ‘The
Singapore Sensation’ Matt Preacher comes out first and is followed by Vanilla
Zombie. The duo are booed as they make
their way down to the ring. As soon as
the bell rang, Sarona went on the offensive and for some reason, it seemed
Vanilla wasn’t putting up that much of a fight.
7 minutes in, Preacher motioned to Vanilla and she dropped Sarona with
the Soul Crusher but she didn’t go for the pin.
Instead, she stood over her and motioned for her to get up. As soon as Sarona made it to her feet, Vanilla
hit her with a choke slam. She
immediately made the cover hooking the leg (and tights for good measure) and
got the 3. Vanilla Zombie gets the win. Preacher joins her in the ring and gets on
the mic calling out the Ladies Champion Violet Valkyrie. Preacher says that with her win tonight,
Vanilla should be at the top of the leaderboard. He tells Violet to stop hiding and give Vanilla
Zombie the title shot she deserves.
Vanilla and Preacher leave shortly thereafter. (8 min)
Backstage, Scooter
J tells the Jacks they better enjoy those belts while they have them. As soon as they get their rematch, the belts
are coming back to him and TNT.
Our third match of
the evening is ready to go. The fans pop
as Texas Wildfire’s music hits. This guy
is sooo over with the fans. He shakes
hands with the fans and makes his way around the ring to acknowledge those
sitting at ringside. After making his
lap, he gets in the ring and climbs the turnbuckle. The fans pop louder. Just then we hear “APOLLO GYZE DON’T
APOLOGIZE” over the loudspeakers and out comes the Hardcore Champion Apollo
Gyze and his manager ‘the Singapore Sensation’ Matt Preacher. The duo are booed as they make their way down
to the ring. Apollo doesn’t waste any
time and gets into the ring and demands a mic.
He says that all the wannabes in HCW want a shot at the ‘big dog’ (we
assume he means himself) and tonight, he begins his path to glory. Today he is the Hardcore Champion; tomorrow,
the World. The bell rings and this one
is off. The two traded control of the
match however it was Texas Wildfire who attempted most of the pin
attempts. Apollo wasn’t giving it his
all as the title was not on the line but he continued to shake off ring
rust. Apollo then hit TW with a triple
powerbomb but he didn’t go for the pin.
He was distracted by none other than Nix Anderson. Nix came out and sat on stage and began
playing his ukulele. Apollo sneered at
him and then turned his attention back to the ring. Texas Wildfire then hit a hangman’s
clothesline and he rolled Apollo up for the pin. Preacher yelled trying to distract the ref
but it did no good. The ref’s hand hit
the mat 3 times and with that, Texas Wildfire gets the win. Preacher slides in to the ring with a chair
trying to go after Wildfire but TW rolled out and smiled and made his way to
the back. He passed by Nix but the two
didn’t acknowledge each other. Nix
stands up and smirks at Preacher and then turns and walks away. Apollo woke up with a “wha happened?” and
Preacher helped Apollo to his feet and the two made their way to the back. (15
min)
‘The Ragin Cajun’
Rad Gumbo is in the house. He makes his
way out and gets into the ring. He
addresses the crowd telling them that he has the Banker’s number and as soon as
he’s ready, he is coming after the World Title once more. The fans pop as the Cajun leaves the ring.
Our next match is
ready to go. First, Matches Malone comes
out to booing from the fans. He begins
flicking match sticks at them which makes them more irate. He laughs and mocks them. He gets into the ring and begins showboating. His self-celebration comes to an end when
Maximillian Redbeard comes out to a surprisingly loud pop from the crowd. He too seems a bit surprised and acknowledges
by high fiving the fans as he makes his way to the ring. Malone, not wanting to be upstaged, attacked
Redbeard before he got into the ring prompting the ref to start the match
early. Redbeard had the advantage early
on but a cheap shot by Matches turned the match to his favor. He used a combination of power and speed to
keep the big man off his feet. At the 11
minute mark, Matches removed the turnbuckle cover unbeknownst to the ref and
then smashed Redbeard’s head into the exposed brackets. Redbeard fell back into the ring but Matches
took his time in going for the pin. He
mocked the fans some more and then made the lazy cover. The ref counted 1…2…and Redbeard POWERED out
shoving Matches off of him. Malone was
shocked. He tried to do something only
to eat a Knoggin’ Stomp from Redbeard.
Maximillian makes the cover (he hooked the leg) and got the 1-2-3. Redbeard has his arm raised in victory. Malone rolled out of the ring grumbling and
stumbled his way to the back. Maximillian
stayed and interacted with the fans for a few minutes before also
departing. (12 min)
Hayley Hailstone
is being interviewed and she calls out Maxine DeVito. She says Maxine is a thorn in her side and
she keeps costing her matches. She would
have gotten a title shot but Maxine keeps ruining her chances. She thinks that she and Maxine need to settle
it once and for all in the ring. If
Maxine accepts, they can do this at the Supershow in a couple of weeks.
The action
continues back in the ring with our next match. The Crocodile Hunter comes out first to a
pop from the crowd. Once in the ring,
the music changed and we hear the horrible rendition “Ice Dagger Baby” (a bad
version of Ice, Ice Baby). Ice Dagger is
booed as he comes out and he flips off the fans as he makes his way down to the
ring. He gets into the ring totally
ignoring Croc and insults the fans even more.
Early on, Dagger and Croc traded controlling the match but Dagger
cheated his way to controlling the majority of the match. As the match progressed, Croc began battling
back and much to ID’s dismay, he began to dominate Dagger. Fortunately for Ice Dagger, Croc didn’t hit
full stride until the last minute of the match however it was not enough to
allow him to go for a pin as the bell rang bringing this one to a draw
finish. Ice Dagger left before he got
embarrassed any further. Croc interacted
with the fans before leaving. (20 min
draw)
Backstage, the
World Tag Team Champions Mean Jack and Angry Jack are being interviewed. They say that tonight, with their first title
defense, they begin the path to being the most dominant tag team in the history
of HCW. Angry Jack says he’s not happy
that the Steel Curtain took them to a draw.
Mean Jack says that there are questionable motives at play and they need
to be the ones righting the wrongs.
Angry Jack tells Scooter J and TNT to stay out of their business
tonight. Mean Jack says that they are
taking out their frustrations on the Hubers tonight. Mean Jack warns the entire
roster to steer clear of them.
It’s time for our
main event. Butch and Ferb Huber come
out first and get a mixed reaction from the crowd. Next, the Tag Team Champions the Jacks come
out and the fans boo the crap out of them.
The champs flip the fans off without a second thought. They hold their titles high as they march
down to the ring. They get in and hold
the titles in the faces of their challengers.
The Jacks look at each other and then drop the belts attacking the Huber
Clan. The Jacks took early advantage of
the match but as it went on, they continued to dominate and towards the end of
the match, they were not taking the Hubers seriously. 20 minutes into the match, Butch hits Mean
Jack with a suicide dive to the floor.
Before exiting the ring, he managed to tag Angry Jack in. Mean Jack and Butch Huber were on the floor
but slow to get up. Angry Jack stood on
Ferb’s throat and then went for the pin getting the 1-2-3. Angry Jack and Mean Jack retain the titles in
a 22 minute match. Mean Jack rolls back
in the ring and Angry Jack hands him one of the belts. The two stand tall in the ring as the fans
boo from the outside. The show comes to
an end with the champions smirking.
That’s all for
today. Stay tuned…more to come.
