HCW Wrestling Newsletter 2019 #772 – Phoenix Heat (5/22)


Hello fans and welcome back to another installment of HCW’s Phoenix Heat.  Things are really heating up (no pun intended) between World Champion the Banker and Phoenix GM Master Bull.  In the main event, we will see Davis ‘the Hoff’ Hoffmeister get his rematch for the TV title against current champion Drew the Canadian Love Machine.   We will also see some 6 Man tag team action as well as a 6 woman tag team match.


The show begins back in GM Master Bull’s office. Bull hangs up the phone and looks up with a disgusted look on his face as he sees World Champion the Banker and his manager Ruth Heartless.  The Banker tells Bull that his days are over ruining the lives of the people on the roster and when he’s done with Bull, Bull will wish he never messed with him.  Master Bull stands up and says “Don’t forget, your title is on the line when we meet.  I don’t recall ever being World Champion before but it’s an intriguing thought.”  The Banker laughs.  “Don’t make me bust a gut laughing.  You…a champion?  Never.  The only thing you’re good at doing is cleaning toilets.”  Bull gets serious.  “That mouth is going to get you into trouble.  Since you seem to have a lot of hot air, tonight you get to be in the ring and your title is on the line.  Before you get your tighty whities in a bunch, you can have your manager with you.”  The Banker sneers.  “Well, since I am the top dog here, I don’t need to stick around as I’m a main eventer.”  Bull stops him.  “Au contraire mon friar (yes he said it that way on purpose)…the main event is already in place.  You get to be the curtain jerker.  Guess what…you’re up.”  The Banker glared at him and stormed out.  Bull sat down with a satisfied look on his face.


Pyro goes off and it looks like our show will kick off with a title match – the first we can recall where the World title was the first one defended on a show.  First, the challenger Superstar Chic Monroe comes out to a pop from the crowd.  He constantly glances over his shoulder to ensure the Banker doesn’t sneak attack him again.  He gets into the ring and continues to psyche up the crowd.  The music changes and the fans boo as the World Champion the Banker comes out with his manager Ruth Heartless.  The Banker has a mic and calls (being the curtain jerker aka the first match on the card) a travesty and since he no longer has to stick around till the end of the show, as soon as he beats this Italian meathead, he’s out of here.  The Banker gets into the ring and Monroe is glaring at him.  The bell rings and this one begins.  Chic is actually the more aggressive and for the first 6 minutes of the match, he controlled the pace.  After that point, Ruth got involved providing the Banker with some words of encouragement (and maybe a foreign object) and then the match went the champs way.  After a few minutes of pounding on Chic (we still think there’s a foreign object in there), he rammed Chic shoulder first repeatedly into the turnbuckle.  He then locked in the ATM Fee armbar and Chic had no choice but to tap out or risk severe damage to his arm.  Chic slapped the mat signaling he was giving up.  The Banker released the hold but stomped Chic on the head with his boot.   Ruth came into the ring and handed the champ his title.  The Banker held the belt high before flipping the fans off and leaving.  (12 min)


Wilber Townsend is backstage and for some really odd reason, he’s wearing a mutated version of the Pennywise the Clown mask.  “There’s time to play in the funhouse but then there’s time to be serious.  I’ve been waiting for you Leon.  Fire…come walk with me.”  He then starts to laugh maniacally.  CREEEEPY!


It’s time for the next match.  First, the British Crippler, Sassy Maxine Devito and Vanilla Zombie all make their way out to the ring. They are all booed as they saunter down to the ring.  Vanilla though takes her time and just stares at the fans as she makes her way to the ring.  Once in the ring, the music changes and the fans pop huge as Tempest Fortune, Hayley Hailstone and the Ladies Champion Violet Valkyrie all make their way to the ring. They all interact with the fans on their way down.  The heels (bad gals) in the ring motion for their opponents to join them.  The 3 faces (good gals) enter the ring with gusto and their opponents bail out of the ring.  Violet, Tempest and Hayley all climb the turnbuckles and the fans pop huge for them.  Now it is their turn to plead for their opponents to come back in the ring and get this match started.  They finally do and the bell rings starting this one off.  For the first 5 minutes of the match, the heels pounded on Violet until Hayley and Tempest had enough and began to clean house.  Violet made the hot tag to Tempest who ended up dropping the British Crippler with a DDT.  She went for a pin but only got a 2 count.  Maxine spent most of her time on the floor feigning (faking) an injury.  She “recovered” enough to help her team triple team the champ though.  After Vanilla Zombie got tagged in, she hit Tempest with the Soul Crusher but instead of going for a pin, she threw her over to tag the champ in.  Violet hit the ring like wildfire but Vanilla and the British Crippler double teamed her.  The Crippler hit a piledriver and went for the pin but Hayley made the save.  Just as Hayley was being sent out of the ring by the ref, Maxine snuck around (see, I knew that injury was phony) and attacked Hayley slamming her head into the ringside barrier.  She then handcuffed Hayley to the barrier effectively taking her out of the match.  Maxine then pulled Tempest off the apron and Tempest’s head hit the mat and she fell to the floor.  Back in the ring, the British Crippler tagged Vanilla Zombie back in and reversed an Exploder Suplex and dropped her with a chokeslam.  She went for the pin and (with a handful of tights) she got the 3 count.   Maxine gets in the ring and kicks Violet out of the ring.  The heels stand tall as the fans look on in disgust and boo the crap out of them.  Maxine smiles mockingly at the fans and the trio then leave.  The ref goes out to help Violet and Tempest and free Hayley from the handcuffs.  They were obviously pissed and they all stormed to the back. (15 min)


The Banker and Ruth are seen getting into their limo and driving away.


We head back to the ring for our next match.  First, the Muscles Trio (Muscles Weasley, McGuire and Thorpe) come out wearing their rainbow colored bull horns.  The goof around on the stage and get a pop from the crowd.  They make their way to the ring.  After a moment or so, their opponents the Snake Pit (Tobias, Leiton and Niven Snake) come out and before heading to the ring, they put their fists together as sort of a salute and then head to the ring.  They too get a small pop from the crowd.  They get into the ring and are all business.  The bell rings and the Muscles get in a couple of shots off the bat and then the Snake Pit took over.  They held the advantage for about 5 minutes but then consecutive triple teaming from the Muscles gave them control over the match and they actually held it for quite some time.  The Snake Pit got in some good shots and went for a few pin attempts but they fell shy of that final 3 count.  21 minutes into the match, Tobias catches Weasley with a lariat.   He got distracted when the 5th Column came out on the stage.  The Pit turned their attention to the interruption and that gave Weasley the moment he needed to catch Tobias with the Shining Wizard.  Weasley made the cover and got the 3 count.  The Muscles Trio get the win however, their win was short lived as the Column came down armed with steel chairs and attacked both the Pit and the Muscles beating them down.  Baron von Blood got on the mic and after staring at the carnage in the ring, he called out the 6 Man Tag Team Champions the Steel Curtain and Biceps Bannerman demanding they get the next title shot.  “We’re the only ones of consequence standing so I guess this means we get the shot.”  Master Bull came out and said that he would authorize them to get the next shot however they had to leave the ring now and not attack anyone further.  Baron, Karl Braun and Oswald Zimmerman all laid down their chairs and exited the ring.  It looks like we know who’s getting the next shot at the 6 Man belts. (21 min)


Sassy Maxine DeVito is backstage.  She says its “cute” to see the little hailstone get all worked up.  She thinks about it and says she will accept a match at the Super Show but there will be a stipulation…she just doesn’t know what it will be as of yet but as soon as she thinks of it, she will let her know.


The next match begins with Leon Teremoto coming out.  The fans pop for him as he makes his way down to the ring.  He gets into the ring but before he can do anything, the lights flicker and then go out.  The fans turn on their cell phone flashlights to help illuminate.  Creepy Wilber comes out and welcomes us to the circus.  He says that what the fans see is all make believe and the real world is one scary place that no one wants to go.  He says that Leon needs to embrace the darkness and let it go. Wilber says he’ll be the guide.  He wants the match tonight to be a “Treehouse of Horrors” match and promises to unleash the viper in Leon.  He makes his way to the ring.  Leon looks concerned.  Wilber gets in the ring and removes his creepy mask.  He immediately goes after Leon beating him down.  Leon gets in a few shots but ends up succumbing to the onslaught.  Wilber finally ends the match after hitting the Go To Sleep.  Wilber gets the 3 count and the win.  Wilber picks up Leon and the lights flicker and go out again.  They come on a few seconds later and both Leon and Wilber are gone.  Uh Oh.  (11 min)


Davis Hoffmeister is backstage.  He says at the PPV, he fought the toughest opponent he’s ever faced and that night, Drew the Canadian Love Machine defeated him.  That night, he was the better man.  Tonight will be different however.  He has watched the tapes and studied Drew when he was the World Champion, the US Champion, co-holder of the Tag Team titles and recapped it with their PPV match.  Davis says he has the formula to regain what he lost.  Tonight, he and Drew face off again and the outcome will be different.


We are back at the ring and standing in the ring is Tommy Lightning.  Tommy says that the Steel Curtain and Biceps Bannerman keep hiding from him and the Smashers and are just afraid of losing.  He says that he’s tired of being overlooked by management so he’s here in the ring now demanding a match.  He doesn’t care who he fights.  Just then, we hear over the loudspeakers “Gumbo 7:30 means its suppa time, bitch” and out comes the Ragin Cajun Rad Gumbo alongside his manager Ms. Alexandria.  He gets a pop from the crowd and makes his way down to the ring.  Tommy is yelling at him to get in the ring and fight him like a man.  Rad obliges.  This was a short one.  Tommy went for an underhook suplex but Rad nullified it.  He then hit Tommy with a Cottonmouth Clutch and then locked in the New Orleans Crab.  Tommy somehow made it to the ropes and didn’t tap.  Rad locks it in again and pulls Tommy to the center of the ring.  This time, he has no choice but to tap out.  Rad Gumbo gets the win in just 4 minutes.  The fans pop as Rad and his manager leave.  Tommy complains to the ref holding the small of his back.  He kicks the ropes a few times in frustration and then leaves.


We cut backstage with TV Champion Drew the Canadian Love Machine.  Drew says he thanks Davis for all the kind words and thanks him for a hell of a match at the PPV but Davis is mistaken.  Tonight, Davis becomes the first victim to fall under Drew’s run as TV champion. 


It’s time for our main event.  First, the challenger Davis Hoffmeister comes out to a HUGE pop from the crowd.  He interacts with the fans and then gets into the ring.  He climbs each corner turnbuckle to louder and louder pops from the crowd.  He steps down and waits for his opponent.  The music changes and the TV Champion Drew the Canadian Love Machine comes out to an equally loud pop.  He comes out wearing the title and raises his arms as pyro goes off behind him.  He takes the title off and walks down to the ring.  He puts the belt over his shoulder and climbs into the ring.  He stands in the middle of the ring and holds his title high.  He stands in the middle of the ring and stands face to face with Davis.  The two shake hands but don’t release.  They stare at each other for another moment and then release and step back to their respective corners.  Drew hands the title to the ref who holds it up signaling the belt is on the line.  He turns and calls for the bell to start the match. The match began slow as the two competitors sized each other up.  After 9 minutes, the niceties ended and the gloves came off.

Stay tuned as things are about to get dicey.
