HCW Wrestling Newsletter 2019 #786 – Phoenix Heat (08/07)


Hello fans and welcome back to another installment of HCW’s Phoenix Heat.  Tonight’s card has two title matches with Drew the CLM defending the TV title again plus the Hardcore title match with Dr. Red Fang taking on the 7’ Superquake Ferguson.


The show begins with pyro but then the Omegatron lights up and Apollo Gyze shows up on it.  Apollo says that in Tacoma, he will have an announcement that will stun the world and one person in particular and wants all the newspapers around the world to hold the front page because that issue will become a collector’s item.  The video then turns off and we’re back to our normal, uninterrupted program.


The music plays and out comes TNT to a nice pop from the Phoenix crowd.  He shakes hands with the fans and enters the ring.  His music is abruptly cut off and we hear Col. Flagg’s music hit.  The fans boo and the Colonel has a mic in hand and says “On your feet you maggots and applaud a REAL American Hero.”  The booing intensifies.  Flagg makes his way down to the ring with a disgusted look on his face.  He gets in the ring and shoulders TNT out of the way as he climbs a turnbuckle and flips the fans off which, of course, riles them up even more.  He steps back down and TNT gets into his face.  Flagg hits TNT with a low blow before the match begins and then demands the bell ring to start this one off.  Flagg throws TNT out of the ring and proceeds to throw him into the steps and ring post to soften him up.  He brings TNT back in the ring but once he was able to clear the cobwebs, TNT began to overpower the military man.  At the 18 minute mark, Flagg ‘accidentally’ bumped the ref and then got out of the ring to grab a steel chair.  He returned and was going to use it on TNT until El Chango came out.  He ran down to the ring and was able to wrestle the chair away from Flagg.  He stood over TNT to protect him.  Just then the ref woke up and Flagg dropped to the mat holding his head.  The ref looked over seeing that El Chango was holding the chair and immediately disqualified TNT for outside interference.  The fans booed.  Flagg took off through the crowd and continued to mock El Chango.  Flagg stopped and saw a fan holding an El Chango sign and he viciously took it from them and tore it to shreds before flinging the pieces into the audience.  Flagg then took off once he saw that El Chango was coming after him.   Col. Flagg may have run away like a coward but he has another mark in the win column.  Damn him!


Backstage, Missy Chick talks about how it seems that certain people who are undeserving are getting title shots and others are not.  Missy calls out ‘Sassy’ Maxine DeVito and challenges her for her spot in the top 10 line up.  Maxine walks into the shot and says she accepts and will see Missy in the ring.


We head back to the ring for our next match.   First, the Muscles Trio comes out (silly entertainment) wearing their rainbow colored bull horns and carrying boxes of Booty O’s cereal (they gave the fans the cereal).  They make their way to the ring and then run back and forth against the ropes.  The music changes and out comes the team of Wilber Townsend, Anthony ‘Static’ Boom and Leon Teremoto.  The fans instantly change their tune and boo the CRAP out of them.  They get into the ring and Wilber is wearing a creepy looking mask; something like a cross between Pennywise the dancing clown and Pinhead.  He walks over to the Muscles Trio using the mask to psyche them out.  It works.  Wilber and team immediately go on the offensive and hold it through the entire match.  The match came to a conclusion at the 18 min mark when Boom got the pin on McGuire after hitting a devastating clothesline.  Wilber grabs a mic and issues a challenge to the 6 man tag team champs – the Steel Curtain & Biceps Bannerman.  Wilber says he will continue to corrupt the HCW roster until he, Boom and Teremoto get their title shot.  They then leave shortly thereafter to even louder booing from the fans.


There is a momentary break and then out comes the Iron Sheik.  Most of the fans boo him but there is still a small pocket who is cheering him on.  He notices it and scowls at them.  He gets in the ring and continues his verbal tirade against Rad Gumbo.  “Look at this chest.  This chest can crush the Gumbo Cajun.  These arms will squeeze the life out of him.”  He is abruptly cut off when we hear “Gumbo 7:30 means its suppa time, bitch” and out comes the Ragin Cajun.  Gumbo stands on the stage and challenges the Sheik to a match here and now.  Sheik declines saying that it is on his own terms for when he wrestles.”  Gumbo says that this isn’t a wrestling match and runs down to the ring and begins to fight with the Sheik.  Sheik stuns Gumbo again with the loaded boot and then hits him with the Iranian flag.  He uses the pole to choke Rad out and the refs hit the ring to break it up.   Sheik leaves with a mic in hand and promises that when their match happens, he will break Gumbo and…(the fans chime in) “Make him Humble”.  The Sheik shakes his head.  “I’ve told you this is not singalong with the Sheik.  I am not the rock of miavia.”  He drops the mic and heads to the back.  Gumbo gets to his feet rubbing his neck and is seething.  He eventually heads to the back also.


Our next match is ready to go and kicks off with Missy Chick making her way out to a mixed reaction from the crowd.  Next, ‘Sassy’ Maxine DeVito comes out and the fans boo her.  Maxine turns to a group of fans but turns her back to them.  Presumably, she’s flipping them off but didn’t want it on camera.  She gets into the ring and does some minor stretches before the bell rings.  The match was pretty even between the two with Maxine getting the early advantage after locking in a bodyscissors dragon sleeper but Missy was able to make it to the ropes to break the hold.  Maxine then dumped Missy out of the ring but Missy made it back in before the 10 count. Maxine kept the pressure on and sensing that Missy was going to start an offensive run, she grabbed Missy by the hair, flung and slammed her to the mat.  She then rolled Missy up and with two feet on the middle ropes, there was no way Missy could kick out.  A 3 count later and Maxine wins the match and keeps her spot in the top 10.  The fans didn’t care for it but Maxine walked away with a smirk on her face.  (8 min)


Backstage, TV Champion Drew the Canadian Love Machine says he cannot believe Master Bull would resort to such underhanded tactics.  Drew says that he is defending the title tonight and if Bull really wants it, he will get the next shot at the PPV.  Smasher #2 walks in and calls Drew a crybaby.  “Did you get your feelings hurt?  I’ll do more than hurt feelings.  I’ll break you in half and leave the scraps.”  Smasher #2 walks off and Drew watches before heading towards the ring.


The next match on the card begins with Baron Von Blood making his way out.  The 5th Column member is booed heavily and he doesn’t seem to mind.  He gets in the ring and as the booing continues, he flips the fans off getting them even more riled up.  The fans tune changes when we hear the familiar ‘Pomp and Circumstance’ and out comes the Red Hot King Lucas Johnston.  The fans pop huge for him as he makes his way down to the ring. Baron wastes no time in attacking Lucas before he can even get his cape off.  His Lordship held the advantage for almost the first half of the match but after some underhanded tactics from Baron, things changed.  Baron tried to lay in the hurt but Lucas wouldn’t submit or get pinned and that frustrated Baron.  As we entered the final minute of the match, Lucas somehow manages to thwart a Brain Klaw attempt and held the Baron in a front face lock until the bell rang bringing this one to a draw finish.  Lucas let go but Baron wasn’t done and continued to fight.  They spilled out of the ring and fought all the way to the back.  (20 min draw)


Superquake Ferguson is backstage and he says that tonight he gets a shot at the Hardcore title.  Superquake acknowledges that he hasn’t held this title in over a year and he’s ready to represent again.  Just then, Dr. Red Fang rushes in and, at the direction of the Ambassador, blasts Superquake with chair shots to weaken him up.  Maximillian Redbeard rushes over and saves his partner.  Fang and the Ambassador retreat.  Redbeard asks if Superquake is ok to continue with his match and he answers with a Yes.  Superquake gets to his feet with a very angry look on his face and walks off.  Maximillian shakes his head and says “I wouldn’t want to be Fang right now.”


It’s time for our TV Title match.  First, Smasher #2 comes out accompanied by Smasher #1.  They both head down to the ring but the ref immediately sends #1 to the back.  #2 hollers at the ref until the music changes and out comes the TV Champion Drew the Canadian Love Machine.  The place goes ballistic for their hometown (when he’s not in Canada) hero.  Drew makes his way down and right into the ring.  He stands nose to shoulder (Smasher #2 is a bit taller).  Smasher #2 takes the first swing as soon as the bell rings but is astonished by the ferocity leveled at him by the CLM.  The champ had control of the entire match but the longer it went on, Smasher #2 would up his game.  The two continued to battle until the final superkick was executed by Drew on Smasher #2 and the bell rang bringing this one to a time limit draw.  Smasher #2 took that time to bolt as he apparently had enough of the TV champion.  Drew got on the mic and thanked the fans for backing him up.  He tells Master Bull this is the exact same thing he can expect when the two meet at the PPV.  Drew celebrates with the fans before leaving.  (20 min draw)


Backstage, the Ambassador has a live mic.


Ambassador:  “Ferguson, yes, you are big and bad but like giants of the past, the bigger you are, the harder you will fall and you WILL fall to the awesome power and might of the only man even DEATH fears…Dr. Red Fang.” Fang walks into the camera shot and then snarls and growls as they head off camera.


It is time for the Main Event.  First, Superquake Ferguson comes out and he’s noticeably limping after the attack by Fang earlier.  He gets into the ring and winces as he steps over the top rope.  The music changes and we hear “VAMPIRE LUNGES FOR EVERYONE” and out comes the Hardcore Champion Dr. Red Fang accompanied to the ring by the Ambassador.  Fang hands him the title and gets into the ring just as the bell rings.  Ferguson hits a big foot to face but grabs his back in pain.  Fang gets to his feet and hits a Vampire Lunge.  He makes the cover and with a foot on the ropes (and the Ambassador holding down Ferguson’s foot, the ref counted 1-2-3.  Dr. Red Fang gets the win in only 60 seconds.  Fang snarls and growls at the fans and they boo him harshly.  Just then, Nix Anderson sneaks in from the crowd and with a chair in hand, hits the Ambassador knocking him from the ring and then used it on Fang.  He only got in one shot as Fang tore the chair out of his hands and the two began throwing fists left and right.  Nearly half the locker room had to come out to break them up.  The show comes to and end with the two still trying to get at each other.


Well, this is escalating quickly.  Stay tuned as things continue to heat up.
