Hello fans and
welcome back to another installment of HCW’s Tacoma Thunder. We are one short week away from the PPV
“Reign of Champions” where every HCW title will be on the line. We cut to the office of GM Max
McGillicutty. “Welcome fans from Tacoma
and from around the world. Our PPV is
shaping up to be pretty spectacular.
Phoenix GM Ruth Heartless announced that Rad Gumbo vs the Iron Sheik
will share co-main event status with Ladies Champion Violet Valkyrie taking on
Hayley Hailstone. The card is full with 8 matches taking place
and since there is still a lot going on, we’ve secured, in Olympia, WA, a
location where we can host a show the night before. I am proud to announce that on Saturday 8/31,
we will be hosting “Saturday Night Showdown”.”
The fans pop. “We want to ensure
that everyone gets a fair shake and this is our way to make that happen. Also tonight, we are having a tag team
battle royal. The last two members
standing will have their teams face off in a match tonight with the winning
team receiving a contract for a shot at the World Tag Team titles. With that, let’s head to the ring to get this
action kicked off.”
Pyro goes off and our
match is ready to go. Music hits and the
Axe makes his way down to the ring ignoring the fans. He gets in the ring and complains about not
getting the title match he deserves and questions why some ignoramus such as
Apollo Gyze gets one. Axe then calls out
Apollo challenging him for his title shot at the PPV. There is a brief pause before we hear “APOLLO
GYZE DON’T APOLOGIZE” and out comes Apollo.
He is booed pretty heavily and he saunters down to the ring. Apollo gets on the mic and says he doesn’t
have to accept anything but the ref tells him “Actually, you do” and a shocked
Apollo is now officially in a match. Apollo got in one good shot before Axe began
unloading on him with punches and uppercuts.
At the 5 minute mark, Apollo hit a gorilla press drop moonsault and went
for the pin but Axe powered out of it.
Axe went for some elbow shots but Apollo nullified them. Axe then hit a belly to belly suplex and then
Jack Lumber appeared at ringside. The distraction allowed Apollo to hit a
dropkick that sent Axe out of the ring.
Lumber, instead of confronting the Axe, crawled into the ring and SLUG
Apollo. The ref immediately rang the
bell disqualifying the Axe for outside interference. Apollo leaves the ring followed by Jack. The Axe complained of Jack’s interference but
the ref wouldn’t hear of it. Axe storms
to the back. (6 ½ min)
It is time for our
Tag Team Battle Royal. There are two
teams who are exempt from this and they are the World Tag Team Champions Mean
Jack Mason and Angry Jack Lawson and their PPV opponents Maximillian Redbeard
and Superquake Ferguson. The teams all
file out one by one and begin to fill the ring.
One by one the teams started to
get eliminated until the final 4 in the ring were Smasher #2, Buzz Steel,
Starbuck Steel and Regulator Mule. Mule and Starbuck fought but it was a
Regulator roundhouse that sent Starbuck over the top to the floor below
eliminating him. Now, it’s down to 3 teams.
Mule went after Buzz Steel trying to eliminate him but Buzz hit two
consecutive German Suplexes and then hurled Mule over the top rope. The bell rings bringing the battle royal to
an end. In the main event tonight, the
Smashers will take on the Steel Curtain to see who receives the next title shot
at the Tag team champions. (45 min)
Backstage, Killa
Pops says he wants to be on the Saturday Night Showdown and says that since the
Smashers may very well be preoccupied, he’d be happy to take on Tommy
Lightning…he stops and bursts out laughing.
“Ok, no seriously”…laughing. Pops
walks off just laughing uncontrollably.
We head back to
the ring for our next match. First,
Sarona Reiher comes out and heads to the ring.
She says that GM Ruth Heartless is giving her an opportunity to shine
and therefore she is calling out the one person ranked higher than her in the
Ladies Top 10…‘Sassy’ Maxine DeVito.
Maxine comes out and accepts the match.
She heads to the ring. Even
though she had a great showing up against Kimberly Kiccsass at the last Phoenix
show, Maxine just outwrestled her.
Maxine took her time and was methodical in the moves she hit. At the 27 minute mark, Sarona hit a superfly
splash but it took too much out of her and she was unable to make the
cover. Maxine got to her feet and
grabbed a handful of hair and and flip/slammed Sarona to the mat. She immediately went for the pin and hooked
the leg (and put her feet on the ropes) and got the 1-2-3. Maxine gets the win and retains her spot in
the top 10. This brought out Kimberly
Kiccsass who was still pissed at dropping out of the top 10 completely. She challenges Maxine for her spot and wants
it at the Showdown. Maxine takes a mic
and accepts. (28 min)
We go back to
Max’s office. He says he’s going to
address the challenge made by Wicked Prophet.
Max says that HCW typically does not do belt vs belt matches but thinks
that this may be as good as a time as any.
He needs to work out the details but since they don’t want one person
being bogged down by having to defend 2 singles titles, when the match happens
and a winner is determined, they will allow that new champion to defend the
titles one time. After that, if he still
holds both, the US title will be held up and a new tournament will be held to
crown a new champion.
We go back to the
ring for our main event: The Steel
Curtain vs the Smashers to see who receives the contract for a future match. First, the Smashers come out to booing from
the crowd. They power walk down to the
ring and enter. They mock and yell at
the fans getting them whipped into a frenzy.
The music changes and out comes the Steel Curtain. Buzz and Starbuck Steel come through the
curtains to the loudest pop of the night.
They high fives the fans and make their way to the ring. They enter and after removing their jackets,
are ready for action. The Smashers got
in some good shots early but then the experience of the Steel Curtain took over
and they controlled the pace of the match.
The Smashers tried to use their power to overwhelm their challengers but
the Curtain persevered. We join the match
at the 19 minute mark.
