HCW Wrestling Newsletter 2020 #822 (1/15/20)


Hello fans and welcome to another installment of the HCW Wrestling Newsletter.  Tonight, we have a real treat for you with not 1, not 2 but 3 Elimination Chamber qualifying matches.  Tonight 3 wrestlers get the opportunity to find out who will challenge the Wicked Prophet for the World Title.  Also on the card, the Six Man Tag team Champions Maximillian Redbeard, Superquake Ferguson and Killa Pops will defend their titles.  The number 1 contenders El Chango, Leon Teremoto and Magnum Kone were supposed to be next in line but they were attacked by the Snake Pit.  El Chango and team have agreed to postpone their title shot until the PPV so that they can deal with the Pit.  Finally, in our main event, the US title will be on the line with the unapologetic champion Apollo Gyze taking on ‘the Ragin Cajun’ Rad Gumbo.  Let’s get started with the action.


Pyro goes off and the show is ready to begin.  First, Scooter J comes out to major booing from the crowd.  He is accompanied by his tag team partner TNT.  They jaw jack with the fans and Scooter J threatens to hit a couple but restrains himself.  He and TNT climb into the ring and continue the verbal assault against the fans.  The music changes and the fans pop HUGE as Texas Wildfire comes out.  He makes his way down to the ring and then climbs in.  TNT takes a cheap shot at Wildfire and the ref ejects him from the ring sending him to the back.  Scooter J tried to complain but it didn’t’ do any good.  With TNT gone, the bell rings and this one takes off.   Scooter J and Wildfire went toe to toe for a good solid 5 minutes until TW caught him with a hangman’s clothesline.  Wildfire then controlled the match for the next 10 minutes getting 3 near falls.  Scooter J then connected with a superkick at the 15 minute mark but TW managed to kick out at the last possible moment.  The ref then took a bump and was down.   Just then, Dr. Red Fang came in from the crowd and blasted Scooter J with a Vampire Lunge.  TW and the ref both made it to their feet at roughly the same time.  TW then connected with another Hangman’s clothesline.  He went for the pin and the ref counted 1-2-3. Texas Wildfire gets the win and with this, he is the first to qualify for the Elimination Chamber.  Scooter J gets up after TW has left and he is mumbling under his breath.  He’s not done with Fang.  (24 min)


Catalina Harper is backstage and she’s gloating about beating everyone under the sun.  Just then, Violet Valkyrie walks up to her and says “You’re not as good as you think you are.  One of us was a Champion; you…are a stand in.”  Catalina gets into her face and challenges her to match tonight.  Violet accepts and says once she beats her, she’ll be the #1 contender for the Ladies title.  Violet walks off and Catalina stands there stewing.


We head back to the ring for our next Elimination Chamber qualifier.  First, the loudspeakers blare “VAMPIRE LUNGES FOR EVERYONE” and out comes Dr. Red Fang and his manager the Ambassador.  The two are booed heavily as they make their way to the ring.  Fang, that despicable vampire, almost bit a fan.  They get in the ring and Fang continues to mock the fans.  The music changes and then Phat Sol makes his way out.  The fans give him a very warm reception as he makes his way down to the ring.  As soon as he enters, Fang attacks and the match begins.  Phat definitely had some ring rust going on but as the match progressed, he started to warm back up.  He drops Fang with the Phat Phat (brainbuster) and goes for a pin but the Ambassador put Fang’s foot on the bottom rope to stop the count.  Fang eventually began to battle back and with the help of his dastardly manager, he took control of the match.  At the 18 minute mark, the Ambassador tried to interfere again but Phat dropped him with a straight right hand.  The Ambassador fell off the ring apron.  Phat turned around and Fang eye gouged him.  Fang then rolled Phat up and put his feet on the second rope for leverage (and a handful of tights as well).  The ref made the count not seeing the feet on the ropes and counted to three.  Dr. Red Fang gets the win and is the second person entering the chamber.  The Ambassador made it into the ring and raised Fang’s arm as the victor.  Just then, Scooter J hit the ring with a steel chair in hand and smashed the Ambassador with it dropping him to the mat.  He turned to Fang and smashed the chair over the head of the vampire.  Fang didn’t fall.  In fact, he got this crazed look in his eyes as a trickle of blood made its way down the side of his face.  Scooter J rammed the chair into Fang’s ribs taking the air out of his lungs.  He then dropped the chair and DDT’d Fang on the chair.  That did it.  Fang is out.  Scooter J stands tall and laughs and the fans boo him.  He sneers at Fang and walks away.  (19 min for the match; 5 for the aftermath).


We are treated to a vignette.  Who is Korbi Kong.  We learn that she hails from Colorado Springs, CO.  We learn that she was raised by wolves in the in the icy peaks of the Pikes Peak range.  Her rough and tumble nature naturally led her to UFC style fighting but she opted to eventually make it to the (somewhat) quieter world that is professional wrestling.  After breaking a door off its hinges (she pulled when she should have pushed), she decided that this would be the life for her.


We head back to the ring for our 3rd Elimination Chamber qualifier.  First, the lights go dim and a single lantern lights the ramp.  Wilber Townsend makes his way out wearing his creepy mask.  He is booed and he turned abruptly towards a couple of unruly fans and he scared them causing them to jump back.  The fans around them laughed.  Wilber gets into the ring and removes his mask.  He then motions for his opponent to join him.  The music changed and out we hear “TIMMMMMMMMMBERRRRRRRR” and out comes the flannel wearing lumberjack Jack Lumber accompanied by his tag team partner the Masked Banana.   MB stands with Lumber on the stage and then Jack heads to the ring solo.   Jack gets in the ring and gives Wilber a weary glance and then raises his arms to a pop from the crowd all the while keeping an eye on Wilber.  The bell rings and this one is off.  Jack started off strong but a low blow from Wilber curtailed his offensive run.  Jack was starting to make his way back and went for the TIMBERRRR but Wilber moved and took him to the mat and began pummeling him with mounted elbow smashes.  He then quickly hooked the leg and with a handful of tights, he got the 1-2-3.  Wilber just stole the win.  With this match completed, we now have 3 of our 5 competitors for the Elimination Chamber.  Jack was a little depressed but the fans popped for him anyway trying to lift his spirits.  He shook hands with a few of the fans before heading to the back.  (6 min)


We head backstage and we’re with Adam Jameson.  AJ says that he was totally robbed in his match against Husky Kahn and challenges the newcomer to a rematch.  Husky walks in and calls AJ a crybaby and if he wants another shot at him, he’d be happy to oblige.  Husky walks off and AJ seems appeased.


Our next match gets underway when Catalina Harper makes her way down to the ring amid booing from the fans.  She nonchalantly flips them all off and smiles about it.  She gets in the ring and begins to pace like a cat.  The fans pop as Violet’s music hits and she comes out to a loud explosive pop from the crowd.  She makes her way down to the ring and slides under the bottom rope.  Catalina bails from the ring.  Violet climbs the turnbuckle with arms raised high.  She steps down and beckons for Catalina to return to the ring.  Eventually Catalina returns and the match begins.  About 2 minutes into the match, Hayley Hailstone snuck in from the crowd and when Violet was on the outside of the ring, Hayley rammed Violet into the steel post before sneaking off in the crowd.  Catalina went out and dragged Violet back in the ring.   Violet was busted open.  Catalina continued to beat her down and then finally hit a vicious forearm uppercut.  Violet dropped to the mat.  Catalina went for the pin and got the 1-2-3.  Catalina gets the win but her celebration is cut short when Taylor Bella makes her way out.  She tried to tell the ref about the cheating Catalina participated in.  Catalina mocked Taylor who charged at her in the ring.  Catalina bailed out of the ring and walked backwards up the ramp laughing at Taylor.  When Taylor had enough of the mocking, she ran after Catalina who turned tail and bolted to the back.  Taylor followed her to the back.  Violet started to stir but as she was getting to her feet, Hayley attacked her from behind dropping her with the What the Hail.  Hayley stood over Violet but turned when Catalina came running back out being chased by Taylor.  Violet got to her feet as all 4 women were in the ring and began brawling.  While the brawl was going on, Ladies Champion Maxine DeVito came out and laughed at them fighting amongst themselves.  The ladies in the ring stopped and saw Maxine on the stage laughing and they all took off to go after Maxine.  Her eyes went super wide as she saw 4 women charging at her and she took off before anyone could get her. 


We head backstage with the Six Man Tag Team Champions Killa Pops, Maximillian Redbeard and Superquake Ferguson.  Pops says that they are ok with the postponement against El Chango and team but tonight, they still have to defend the titles tonight.  GM Master Bull walks in and says that the champs will defend the titles tonight against the O.O.G.  Redbeard asked “Who the hell is that?”  Bull says “You don’t know?  Come on…Ovaltine Jackson, Outback Oscar and Ghee Buttersnaps.”  Pops said “What is the holy hell is that supposed to be?”  The champs walk off shaking their heads.  Bull looks after them.  “WHAT?”


Our first title match is next.  First, Ovaltine Jackson, Outback Oscar and Ghee Buttersnaps make their way out to a pop from the crowd.  They head into the ring and begin to get the crowd pumped up.  Next, the Champs make their way out and the fans pop huge for Killa Pops, Superquake Ferguson and Maximillian Redbeard.  The champs head down to the ring holding their titles over their heads.  They get into the ring and each man climbs the turnbuckle holding their titles high.  They step down and hand the titles to the ref.  He sends 4 men out of the ring and the match begins.  The champs started strong but then the challengers got in a triple team on Killa Pops that led to a pin attempt but Killa kicked out at 2.   Killa eventually makes the tag to Redbeard.  After a few moments, the champs got in back to back double teams and that gave them the advantage.  They continued to hold the lead throughout the match.  At one point, the champs each hit huge moves on their opponents; Ferguson hit Oscar with a chokeslam, Redbeard hit Ghee with a Knoggin Stomp and Pops hit Ovaltine with the Pimp Drop.  This gave the champs the extra oompf they needed to close the match.  Redbeard got tagged in and dropped a huge leg drop on Ghee.  He made the cover and got the uncontested 1-2-3.  The champs are victorious and retain their titles.  They celebrate in the ring and then El Chango, Leon Teremoto and Magnum Kone came out.  The walked to the ring and climbed in.  They extended their hands to the champs who shook them.  The challengers didn’t let go though.  In fact, they attacked the champs beating them down.  Everyone was shocked as the Desperados and the King of Cones put the boots to the champions.  El Chango gets on the mic and says that they were bullied out of the match tonight by the champs because they were afraid to meet them.  They say that they were set to wrestle tonight but someone else thinks the money match is at the PPV.  That’s fine; they’ll take the extra paycheck.  Magnum asks the fans not to boo them as they are not the bad guys here; the champs are.  The match is still on and they will become the new champs.  Surprisingly, the fans didn’t boo them but gave them a nice pop.   Pops, Superquake and Redbeard scowled as they left to go to the back.  (24 min for the match; 5 for the aftermath)


We head backstage and meet up with ‘the Ragin Cajun’ Rad Gumbo and his manager Ms. Alexandria.  Rad says that tonight for fun, he is going to beat the tar out of Apollo and while he’s at it, he’s taking the US title.  Rad says he is not apologize for exposing Apollo for the goofball he is.  The CHAMP takes the belt home tonight.  Rad and his manager walk off.


Also backstage is the US Champion.  Apollo calls Gumbo a crybaby wannabe and says that the only punishment being dished out tonight is the ass-whupping he’s dishing on Gumbo.  Apollo picks up a pencil and snaps it in half before walking off.


It is time for our main event.  The loudspeaker blares “GUMBO 7:30 MEANS ITS SUPPA TIME, BITCH” and out comes the Ragin Cajun and his manager.  The fans pop loudly for him.  He makes his way down to the ring and climbs the turnbuckle getting the fans psyched up for the match.  Everything goes sour when we hear “APOLLO GYZE DON’T APOLOGIZE” and the US Champion makes his way to the loudest booing of the evening.  The champ saunters down the ring basking in the venom the fans are spewing his way.  He climbs in the ring and Rad takes one step towards him and Apollo bails out of the ring.  He begins to yell at the ref to make Gumbo step back so he can enter.  Gumbo is in disbelief that this coward holds the 3rd highest title in HCW.  He shakes his head and steps back to the corner.  After some hemming and hawing, Apollo FINALLY gets into the ring.  Gumbo asks for the match to begin and once the bell rang, Rad went after Apollo who once again bailed out of the ring.  The ref wasn’t taking his crap this time and began counting.   Apollo told the ref to stop but almost got counted out.  Once back in the ring, the match officially began.

Be sure to tune back in as things are really heating up.
