Hello fans and
welcome to another installment of HCW’s Tacoma Thunder. Today, GM Max McGillicutty has taken us on
the road and our show tonight comes to you live from Everett, WA. Max begins the show with some pyro and some
announcements. He states that both teams
will be adding to their rosters so some swizzling needs to be done. First, the 6 Man Tag Team Champions the Steel
Curtain (Buzz and Starbuck Steel) and Biceps Bannerman are all being moved to
Tacoma. The Phoenix Heat roster pics up
the Smashers so that they can more easily team up with their 6 man partner
Tommy Lightning. Max also tells us that
a stipulation is being added to the Tag Team title match at the PPV. If Scooter J and TNT lose, they must
disband. He adds that tonight will see
a contract signing between Ladies Champion Violet Valkyrie and the #1 contender
Hayley Hailstone. The US title is also
on the line tonight with the Champion the Wicked Prophet (w/ the Singapore
Sensation Matt Preacher) defending the title against former champion Leon
Teremoto. All this and more will be
coming your way. Pyro goes off again as
Max departs so the show can officially begin.
Starting things
off is a spot challenge. First, Vanilla
Zombie comes out with her manager ‘the Singapore Sensation’ Matt Preacher. The duo make their way to the ring booed the entire
way. Preacher gets on the mic and says
that Vanilla is challenging Lady Hermann for her spot in the Ladies Top 10
lineup. Lady Hermann comes out and power
walks to the ring. She gets in and
towers over Preacher but is almost eye to eye with Vanilla Zombie. Once the bell rang, Lady Hermann dominated
the match for the first 9 minutes of the match but with outside interference
from Preacher, things began to go Vanilla’s way and she held control of the
match up until the very end. At the 17
minute mark, Lady Hermann hit the ropes and nailed Vanilla with a backdrop
stunner. It appeared Vanilla was
hurt. The ref tried to send Lady Hermann
to her own corner but she guided the ref to the other side of the ring. Preacher rushed over and threw power into
Lady Hermann’s eyes. Vanilla quickly
rolled her up and was able to get the 1-2-3.
Vanilla moves up in the rankings and Lady Hermann moves down. Preacher raises Vanilla’s arm and the two of
them leave. (18 min)
We cut back to GM
Max McGillicutty’s office and he is there with the Hardcore Champion Apollo
Gyze. Max demands that Apollo apologize
for costing Master Bull his managing of the Phoenix brand and Apollo responds
with (in your best Mr. T voice) “APOLLO GYZE DON’T APOLOGIZE”. That sucka got what was coming to him.” Max says “You leave me no choice. Originally, I was going to give you the PPV
off but now I’ve reconsidered and you will be on the show defending the
Hardcore title. And…it will be against
Nix Anderson.” Apollo is irate and began
kicking things around the room before storming out.
Next up, Adam
Jameson makes his way out first to a pop from the crowd. Next, his opponent Nix Anderson comes out and
he is getting a mixed reaction from the Everett crowd. He gets into the ring and starts strumming
his ukulele. He invites a little girl
into the ring to do a singalong and that gets the crowd on his side. Nix took control of the match and held it
until the end. In the final 3 minutes of
the match, Adam didn’t do anything except absorb the punishment Nix
delivered. Nix noticed that Adam wasn’t
putting up much of a fight and delivered some chops to the chest. He went for the cover and got the 1-2-3. Nix gets the win. He helps Adam out of the ring but before he
could leave, Apollo Gyze runs in from the crowd and chop blocks Nix. He hits the spin out powerbomb and Nix is
down. Apollo stands over him laughing
holding his title high. He smirks and
then leaves the ring. The ref helped Nix
to the back. (11 min for the match; 5
for the aftermath)
There is a brief
break in the action and then former World Champion the Banker comes storming
out. He gets on the mic and says he was
robbed of his title and wants an immediate rematch. This brings out Davis Hoffmeister. Davis grabs the mic and says that the Banker
cheated and everyone saw it. If anyone
should be getting the next title match, it should be him. This brought out GM Max McGillicutty. Max joins them in the ring and says that both
men truly are deserving but only one can claim the next spot. Max says that Davis and the Banker should
have a match at the PPV with the winner getting the next shot at the World
Champion. Max asks the two to shake on
it. They do. The Banker storms off but Max says he wasn’t
done. To keep this between the two of
them, it will take place within the confines of a steel cage. The fans pop and Davis smiles big. The Banker has a fit and then storms
off. Max and Davis shake hands and then
leave.
Our next match is
ready to go. First, Shawn ‘Abs of Stone’
Austin and Perfect Pecs Stoddard make their way out to booing from the
crowd. They jawjacked with the fans
before getting into the ring. They
continued their verbal onslaught until the music changed and out comes the team
of Superquake Ferguson and Maximillian Redbeard. The fans popped for them. They make their way down but Maximillian
stops and points to a fans’ sign that reads “Redbeard/Ferguson: Future Tag Team Champions”. Redbeard gives the fan a high five. He and Ferguson get into the ring. The match begins with double teaming from
Redbeard and Superquake and that spelled out how this match was going to go
(133 to 47). Superquake spent a lot of
time in the ring but made the most of it.
When Redbeard would get tagged in, the fans would just pop huge. At the 9 minute mark, Redbeard reversed some
chops and hit a leg drop for a close 2 count.
He then picked Austin up and whipped him to the ropes hitting a huge
powerslam. Abs is out. Redbeard makes the cover and gets the 3
count. Ferguson and Redbeard score a
huge win. They leave and Pecs has to
peel Abs off the mat and helps his partner to the back. (10 min)
World Champion Texas
Wildfire has a pre-taped video play. He
says that he’s ecstatic to be World Champion and promises to do it all for the
fans. He says that even though his match
against Matches Malone will be a Scaffold match, it will also have the World
title on the line. The fans pop.
The action
continues as Bishop Ripley makes his way out and down to the ring. He is getting a mixed reaction from the
crowd. The music changes and out comes
1/3rd of the 6 Man Tag Champs Biceps Bannerman. The fans pop pretty loud for him. He gets in the ring and does some poses
before the match starts off. Biceps
started off strong and dominated for the entire match tossing Bishop around
like a rag doll. Surprising, Biceps let
the match go almost the distance before finally ending it. At the 19 minute mark, he hoisted Bishop over
his head and pressed him a couple of times before slamming him hard to the mat. He made the cover and got the uncontested 3
count. Biceps gets the win in dominating
fashion. He celebrates with the fans before
making his way to the back.
We cut to the backstage
area where Leon Teremoto is being interviewed.
Leon says that Wilber didn’t do anything crazy but did open his eyes to
new and different things. He says that
Wilber has taught him patience and that will pay off tonight when he gets his
rematch for the US title. All of a
sudden, Leon’s eyes roll into the back of his head and he begins a weird
chant. He suddenly snaps out of it and
looks around as people are staring at him quizzically.
Outback Oscar
makes his way out to a pop from the crowd.
He gets into the ring and tries to get the crowd psyched up. The music changes and we hear “Ice Dagger
Baby” (a very bad ripoff of Ice Ice Baby) and out comes Ice Dagger. The fans boo the crap out of him and he flips
them off in return. He gets in the ring
and continues taunting the crowd. The match
finally begins. This one saw both men
trade holding the advantage throughout the entire match. This one went the distance ending in a 20
minute draw. That however didn’t stop
both men to take the fight to the outside of the ring and duke it out all the
way to the back. (20 min draw)
After a few
moments pass, it is time for the contract signing between Hayley Hailstone and
the Ladies Champion Violet Valkyrie.
First, GM Max McGillicutty comes out as the table is set up in the
ring. Max sits at the head of the
table. First, Hayley Hailstone comes out
and the fans pop. She makes her way down
to the ring high-fiving with the fans.
She gets in and sits down at the table.
The music changes and out comes the Ladies Champion Violet
Valkyrie. The fans pop HUGE as Violet
comes out. She poses on the stage as
pyro goes off. She makes her way down to
the ring and climbs in. She climbs one
turnbuckle holding her title high as the fans applaud. She sits down at the table. Max goes over the stipulations of the
match. Both Hayley and Violet sign and
then shake hands. They are then
interrupted by ‘the Singapore Sensation’ Matt Preacher who comes out flanked by
Vanilla Zombie and Sassy Maxine DeVito.
The trio walk down to the ring and enter it. Preacher has a mic insists that Maxine and
Vanilla Zombie be in the match. He
directs his team to attack Hayley and Violet who team up to send Vanilla and
Maxine out of the ring. Max then declares
that the Ladies Title match will now become a Fatal Four Way. Preacher seems happy and he and his team
begin walking away. Max says that if
Vanilla nor Maxine win, he is out of a job and if one of them gets pinned, they
will follow him out the door. His eyes
go all bug eyed wide and tries to backtrack but is unsuccessful. Looks to be an exciting match for these four
ladies.
Backstage, US Champion
the Wicked Prophet is cutting a promo. He says that his manger has his hands full
with figuring out the Ladies title match so he will be solo for this title
defense. He says that Leon is a former
champion with the key word being “former”.
He will continue on as the US Champion until he is ready to set his
sights on a world title.
It’s time for our
main event. First, Leon Teremoto comes
out to a pop from the crowd. He gets
into the ring and does some stretches to loosen up for the match. Next, the music changes and comes the US
Champion the Wicked Prophet. He walks
out holding his title high and he gets a mixed reaction from the crowd. He hands over the title and the match begins. Prophet started off strong but Leon began to
battle back. During the match, after
hitting a spinebuster, instead of going for the pin, he went and sat down in
the corner with his eyes rolling back into his head again. He would snap out of it but lost his
momentum. Prophet managed to take
control back after repeatedly whipping Leon into the corners, he applied the
Crucifix clutch and he was able to get Leon to tap out. The Wicked Prophet gets the win via
submission and retains his title. The
fans are unsure on how to respond until WP’s tag team partner came out. Apollo Gyze headed down to the ring and tried
to soak in his friend’s glory. Leon
rolled out of the ring and walked to the back in a daze. Prophet also left leaving Apollo in the
ring.
Apollo gets on the
mic and begins blasting the fans until new music plays and Apollo’s eyes go
wide. Out comes a new guy – someone we’ve
never seen before. He is wearing a shirt
that reads “Killa Pops” on the front and “Is in the house” on the back. The new guy stands on the stage and shakes
his head at Apollo who mouths “what are you doing here” back at him. The show then comes to an end in very
confusing fashion.
The PPV is up
next. Hopefully we’ll find out more who
this new person is and maybe get some insight into who that flannel wearing
fella was in that “Timmmbbbeeerrr” promo.
Stay tuned.
