Hello fans and
welcome back to the first show of the new year.
The HCW Newsletter is back and is in full swing. On the card tonight, the returning Taylor
Bella takes on Missy Chick. The Ragin
Cajun Rad Gumbo will also be here tonight to address his injury (due to the
clumsiness of Apollo Gyze). Husky Kahn
will also make his debut tonight against the veteran Adam Jameson. Justice and Flash – the Freedom Fighters –
will be in tag team action tonight. All
this plus 2 championship matches and an appearance from the World Champion the
Wicked Prophet gets our show off the ground.
Pyro goes off and
the show is ready to get underway. First
out is Missy Chick who is booed as she heads to the ring. She sneers at the fans and flips a few of
them off before getting into the ring.
Next the music changes and the fans pop as Taylor Bella makes her return
to the ring. She makes her way down to
the ring shaking hands with the fans.
Missy continues to taunt her from the ring. Taylor grabs a mic and says
that she is back in HCW because she has unfinished business to attend to. She feels she has one last run in her tank as
the Ladies Champion and the road to that title shot begins tonight. She gets in the ring and the match begins
almost immediately. The match was practically
even and looked like it was going to end on a draw but then Catalina Harper
came out with a mic and blasted Taylor for thinking she could leave and come
back expecting to get a title match off the bat. Taylor planted Missy with a sitout facebuster
and then turned to address Catalina.
This gave Missy time to recover.
Missy then hit her from behind and threw her into the corner but Taylor
missed the turnbuckles and her shoulder hit the steel post (SMACK). Missy pulled her back in and locked in a
scissored armbar. She wrenched on the
arm and Taylor had no choice but to tap out.
Missy let go and Taylor rolled out of the ring. Catalina got on the mic again and made fun of
Taylor for losing. Taylor took off after
her and Catalina ran off laughing. (20 min)
Missy remained in the ring and began gloating how, if she could beat a former
Ladies Champion, she can beat ANYONE including the stupid fans. One particular fan took offense and climbed
over the barrier. She said she would
answer Missy’s challenge. Missy laughed
and accepted the challenge. The ref
asked the new lady her name and she said she was called Korbi Kong. The bell rang. Korbi began stunning Missy with some lefts
and rights until a few minutes in and Missy dropped Korbi with an exploder
suplex. Korbi was stunned and took some
abuse from Missy including two scissored armbars which she powered out of. Korbi hit Missy with a backbreaker and then
dumped her in the center of the ring.
She then looked to the fans who popped as she climbed to the top
turnbuckle, flashed the “Superfly” sign and then leapt off and connected with
the Mile High Flying Elbow drop. She
hooked the leg and the ref counted 1…2…3.
Korbi gets the win and the fans pop huge for her. The ref raises her arm in victory. Just then, GM Max McGillicutty came out and
asked Korbi if she wanted a contract to wrestle in HCW. Korbi quickly accepted and it looks like we
have another addition to the Ladies roster.
Welcome to HCW Korbi! (10 min)
We head backstage
and are with the newest tag team Flash and Justice – the Freedom Fighters. Flash says that they are here for tag team
gold and tonight, they are challenging the Flannelnanas for their spot in the
Tag team top 10. Justice adds that they
will quickly move up the ladder and before you know it, they’ll have their shot
at the Steel Curtain.
Next, we go back
to the ring. First, Adam Jameson comes
out to a nice pop from the crowd. Once
in the ring, the music changes and out comes one of our newest editions – Husky
Kahn. We are treated to a quick bio from
him on the Omegatron as he makes his way to the ring. We learn he has goals and aspirations to
become a sumo wrestler but he never managed to get to the needed weight
regardless of how many double big macs he consumed. He finally gave up on the Sumo style and
settled for professional wrestling.
Husky gets into the ring and is acting all arrogant. The fans take an instant dislike to him and
begin to boo. His upper lip begins to
curl and he treats the fans with the same disrespect shown to him. He turns back to Adam and immediately attacks
him. Adam tries to take him down with a
single leg take down but Husky nullifies it.
Adam stuns him with flying dropkick and tries to follow it up with a
springboard face smash but Husky catches him mid-air and drops him with a
chokeslam. Husky follows it up with the
Muso. Husky goes to the top rope and
jumps hitting a B-52 splash squishing Adam like a grape. Husky then hurls Adam over the top rope but
Adam hangs on and jumps back into the ring going for a spin kick but Husky
swats him away and nails another choke slam.
He then hurls Adam over the top rope.
The fans boo as the ref counts 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10. Adam gets counted out and Husky Kahn gets his
first win (via countout) in HCW. The
fans boo even louder and Husky just leaves ignoring them. (6 ½ min)
After a brief
lull, the loudspeaker lights up with “GUMBO 7:30 MEANS ITS SUPPA TIME, B!TCH”
and out comes the Ragin Cajun Rad Gumbo accompanied by his manager Ms.
Alexandria. The fans pop pretty damn
loud as Gumbo makes his way to the ring.
He enters and gets on the mic. He
talks about beating the tar out of the Iron Sheik last year only to be taken
out by crap left on the floor by none other than Apollo Gyze. Gumbo calls Apollo out and demands he come
down to the ring. We are then treated to
“APOLLO GYZE DON’T APOLOGIZE” and the US Champion make his way out. Apollo calls Rad clumsy and simple
minded. Rad demands an apology and (of
course) Apollo refuses. Gumbo says he’ll
come over there and take it from his hide.
Apollo stands his ground. Ms.
Alexandria whispers something to Rad so Rad asks for one of the GM’s to come
out. GM Master Bull comes out. Apollo shoots him dirty looks. Rad says that the world has been waiting for
him to return and he wants a shot at Apollo and the US title. Having been King and having held multiple
belts including the World title, he wants this.
Master Bull says that the way the top 10’s are set up, Gumbo has to earn
his spot. Rad asks who the #1 contender
to the US title is. Bull consults his
clipboard. “According to this, it’s…the
Masked Banana. But hang on a sec…” He shuffles through some papers. “Oops, my bad. It looks like YOU are actually the #1
contender. Huh. Wonders never cease.” Apollo begins to get into Master Bull’s
face. Gumbo redirects his attention back
to the ring as Master Bull leaves. “Mon
Ami, You and I…next week….I will take your apology or I will take your
title.” Gumbo drops the mic and begins
to make his way towards Apollo who glances at this watch, and then takes off
through the curtain. Gumbo and Ms.
Alexandria stop on the stage, turn to acknowledge the fans and go through the
curtain.
Back in the office
of the GM, Max and Bull are having a conversation when the World Champion the
Wicked Prophet walks in. Prophet tells
them that he is officially throwing his name in for the battle royal to
challenge for the crown at the Reigning Royalty PPV. Max says he will accept it but reminds the
champ that he will also have to defend the World title that same night. Prophet asks who his opponent will be. Bull
says that he will be making an announcement later tonight. Prophet walks off in a huff (or is that a
minute and a huff).
We head back to
the ring for our next match. First, the
music hits and the fans pop as Jack Lumber and the Masked Banana make their way
out to the ring. Tonight, the Freedom
Fighters are challenging them for their spot in the Tag team top 10
lineup. The fans enjoy the “Hey
Margarita” song that plays. The music is
abruptly cut off and out comes the Freedom Fighters. The fans boo as Justice and Flash make their
way to the ring. They immediately attack
the Flannelnanas. Jack gets
incapacitated early and the Masked Banana tries to fight off the Fighters but
the numbers prove too great. Eventually
Jack recovers and enters the ring clearing house. Flash hits Jack with a low blow (Justice was
distracting the ref) and Jack made the tag to the Masked Banana but since the
ref didn’t see it, he wouldn’t allow the tag.
Justice and Flash beat down on Jack until the master lumberjack hit
Flash with the Axe and then made the leap to his corner to tag in the Masked
Banana. MB tried to psyche up the crowd
and started to get some momentum going but the Freedom Fighters double teamed
him again wearing him out. Flash dashed
to the corner and knocked Jack off the ring apron. Justice then tied up MB with a leglock
grapevine and then turned it into a pin attempt. The ref counted to 3 and awarded the match to
the Freedom Fighters. The ref raised
their arms in victory and then bailed as they saw an irate Lumberjack come
charging at them. Lumber shot them some
nasty looks and the Freedom Fighters ignored Jack and celebrated their win and
their move up the ladder. (19 min)
There is a
commotion backstage where we see Rad Gumbo being attacked by Apollo Gyze. Apollo smacked Rad with a steel chair across
the back a couple of times but Rad had enough and wrenched the chair from
Apollo’s hands. The US Champion then
took off again with a very irate Cajun hot on his tail. I pity Apollo if Rad gets his hands on him.
The
Anytime/Anywhere Champion Col. Flagg is walking backstage. Regulator Mammoth runs over with a ref in tow
and hits Flagg. Flagg throws him into a
concrete pillar knocking him out. Flagg
tells the ref to count. He puts his foot
on Mammoth’s chest. The ref counts
1-2-3. This one is over before it ever
really begins. Flagg gets the win in
just 30 seconds.
Backstage, the
trio of Leon Teremoto, El Chango and Magnum Kone are talking about going after
the 6 Man tag team titles. Leon
questions which team they should challenge.
Magnum offers “What about the Snake Pit?
We take them out and we’re the #1 team in line for the belts.” The trio agree and they head to the ring for
their match.
Our next match
starts off with Leon, Magnum and El Chango making their way out to a nice solid
pop from the crowd. El Chango gets on
the mic and calls out the Snake Pit.
Leiton, Niven and Tobias Snake all come out and accept the challenge
from the competitors. They make their
way to the ring, do a fist bump and then enter the ring. The bell rings once all 2 men from each team
stepped outside the ropes so the match could begin. The team of the Desperados and Magnum Kone
dominated the first 10 minutes of the match.
The Pit then took out El Chango and Magnum leaving Leon on his own. Leon held his own shrugging off attacks from
the Pit when they attacked in full.
After the ref forced Tobias and Niven to leave the ring, Leon caught
Leiton with an armbar scissored lock and turned it into a pin attempt. He made the cover but the Pit could not make
the save in time and Leon’s team gets the win.
The Pit tried to attack Leon again but El Chango and Magnum hit the ring
and disposed of the Pit. El Chango, Leon
and Magnum stood tall with their arms raised in victory. Just then, the 6 Man Tag Team Champions –
Superquake Ferguson, Maximillian Redbeard and Killa Pops come out to a pop from
the crowd. Killa Pops says that it’s
cool that they defeated the #1 contenders but they don’t feel that one match
gives them the right to challenge for the 6 man titles. Magnum and the Desperados consult. Magnum says that in exchange for the title
shot at the Reigning Royalty PPV, they will put their careers on the line. If they lose, they retire from HCW. The champs consult and Redbeard speaks for
the team accepting the challenge. It
looks like the PPV is already shaping up.
We cut back to the
office of the GM and Master Bull announces that at the Saturday Night Showdown
this month, there will be an Elimination Chamber match to see who will
challenge Wicked Prophet for World title at the Reigning Royalty PPV. Over the next 2 shows, there will be 10
individuals chosen to wrestle in qualifier matches and the 5 winners will go to
the Chamber with the victor getting the title shot at Wicked Prophet at the
Reigning Royalty PPV. He then announces
the 10 names chosen.
Texas Wildfire vs
Scooter J
Phat Sol vs Dr.
Red FangJack Lumber vs Wilber Townsend
The Masked Banana vs Killa Pops
Davis Hoffmeister vs Madman Mason
It’s time for our
main event for the Hardcore title.
First, Ivan Dragovich comes out to massive booing from the fans. He flips them off and continues his path to
the ring. After some brief jaw jacking
with the fans, the music changed and out comes the Hardcore Champion Outback
Oscar. The fans pop for him but Ivan
doesn’t wait for him to get to the ring so he rushes him and attacks him on the
ramp. The two fought tooth and nail for
a good solid 5 minutes before taking the action back to the ring. At 7 minutes into the match, Ivan went to try
and hit a fallaway slam through a table but Oscar managed to reverse it and then
hit a piledriver through the timekeepers table.
HOLY SH!T chants rang out. Ivan
would battle back hitting a jumping side kick and went for a pin but Oscar
kicked out at 2. Oscar locked in a full
nelson and then dropped forward smashing Ivan’s face into the mat. Oscar went for a quick pin but Ivan powered
out. Oscar nullified a swinging side
slam but got caught in the Accolade Clutch but he managed to make it to the
ropes to break the hold. A few more
minutes passed and Oscar hit a swinging neckbreaker and went for the quick pin
but once again, Ivan powered out at 1. Oscar followed it up with a second swinging
neckbreaker and pin but still only got the 1 count. Ivan hits a low blow and then goes to the top
turnbuckle. He dives off trying to hit a flying headbutt but Oscar moves and
Ivan crashes to the mat. Oscar goes
outside the ring and grabs a chair and lays it in the ring. He then picks Ivan up and hits a 3rd
swinging neckbreaker on to the chair. He
makes the cover again and this time, he gets the 3 count. The fans pop as Oscar has his arm raised in
victory. The show comes to an end with
Oscar celebrating with the fans.
The Elimination
Chamber qualifiers begin next week so stay tuned.
