HCW Wrestling Newsletter 2020 #825 (1/29/20)


Hello fans and welcome back to another installment of the HCW wrestling newsletter.  On the card today, Korbi Kong is in singles action.  The Flannelnanas (Masked Banana and Jack Lumber) get their shot at the World Tag Team titles.  The Freedom Fighters take on Drew the Canadian Love Machine and Davis Hoffmeister.  Wicked Prophet also defends the World title against Killa Pops.  All this and more will be on today’s show.


After pyro went off, we were treated to a promo from the World Champion the Wicked Prophet.  “Finally, I get to defend my title against someone who is NOT Texas Wildfire.  All I hear is Texas Wildfire this and Texas Wildfire that.  If he is the best HCW has to offer I am going to have an easy career. I am annoyed that I have to beat him this many times. This rivalry is all rigged, I believe there are far better competitors out there. Really I view TW as a WT – Wet Towel.  Killa Pops, just like the wet towel, you’ll fall under the might that is Prophet-mania.”


Pyro goes off again and our first match is ready to go.  First, Lavender Gooms makes her way out to a small acknowledgement from the crowd.  Once in the ring, the music changed and the fans popped as Korbi Kong made her way out.  She interacted with the fans and then slid under the bottom rope keeping a wary eye on Lavender.  She climbed to the second turnbuckle and held up her arms.  The fans popped even louder.  She stepped down and the match was ready to go.  Early on, Korbi controlled the pace of the match until the Ladies champion ‘Sassy’ Maxine DeVito came out and began distracting Korbi.  This allowed Lavender to get in some (cheap) shots.  Even with some interference from the Ladies Champion, Korbi managed to keep kicking out of pin attempts.  At the 16 minute mark, the ref took a bump and went down.  Maxine used that opening to attack Korbi dropping her with the Sass Attack.  As the ref began to stir, Maxine slid out of the ring and told Lavender to do something.  Lavender picked Korbi up and pressed her over her head and slammed her hard to the mat.  She went for the cover hooking the leg and the tights and got the 1-2-3.  Lavender gets the win as the fans boo heavily.  Korbi rolled out of the ring.  Maxine entered and applauded Lavender on her cheap win.  That all went south fast as Korbi was back in wielding a steel chair.  She caught Lavender with it but Maxine escaped at the last minute.  Korbi got on the mic.  “Listen, I know I’m new around here but in my 2nd only match, I got a shot at the Ladies title.  Not bad for a newbie.  Maxine, I only went after the title because 4 others couldn’t figure out what to do.  You attacked me here tonight so guess what, you have my undivided attention.  The next time we meet in the ring for that belt, I can promise you that you won’t be walking out with that title.”  The fans popped for her as she left for the back.  (17 min)


We cut to the back where the Flannelnana’s are cutting a promo.  Jack is being all serious and talking about giving trees (not the ones he cuts down) sweaters to keep them warm in the winter (um, what?) but the Masked Banana is there to have fun.  “It’s our shot at a title! I am the first bullet out of the chamber. Clip it. I’m bathing in a protein drink tonight after we win the titles!”  He stands there smiling as Jack stares at him.
















“Ariba!” the Masked Banana exclaims.


We head back to the ring as the Huber Clan (Junior, Ferb and Butch) come out to booing from the crowd.  They sneer at the fans and enter the ring.  As they pump themselves up, the fans continue to voice their disgust.  The music changes and the fans pop as the Muscles Trio come out.  They are running around acting all goofy wearing their rainbow colored bull horns and carrying their boxes of Booty O’s cereal which they give out to select fans.  Apparently, it’s been flying off the shelf and selling for crazy prices on that one “e” auction site. 


















They enter the ring and the Huber’s attack them prompting the start of this match.  (I guess the Huber’s are just mad that they don’t have their own box of cereal.)  The Hubers dominated the match and kept the Muscles well off their game.  At the 10 minute mark, Butch gets knocked off the ring apron and he goes flying and crashes into the Spanish Announce table.  He is effectively out for the rest of the match but that didn’t stop his siblings from owning the rest of the match.  If anything, it made them more violent and they took it all out on the trio.  At the 17 minute mark, Ferb hits Weasley with a Sitout Scoop Slam piledriver.  He goes for the pin and gets the uncontested 1-2-3.  The Hubers get the win in this violent matchup.  The Hubers collect Butch and head to the back.  The Muscles get an assist from backstage help to make it to the back.  (17 min)


Back in the office of the GM, Max McGillicutty and Master Bull are still confused as to who attacked Violet Valkyrie.  The tape of the backstage recording was paused during the attack and then restarted afterwards.  It seems whomever did it knows their way around technology.


We move on to the next match.  First, patriotic music plays and out comes the Freedom Fighters – Justice and Flash.  They are booed as they head down to the ring.  They make like they’re going to attack the fans and stop just shy of throwing a punch.  They get in the ring and jaw jack with the fans.  The music changes and out comes the two fan favorites Drew the Canadian Love Machine and Davis ‘the Hoff’ Hoffmeister.  The crowd goes absolutely bananas (and not the Masked Banana kind).  They shake hands with the fans and then enter the ring always keeping an eye on their opponents.  The Freedom Fighters gave Davis and Drew a much harder fight than what was expected.  Flash and Justice each got 2 counts on their opponents but a save kept the match from ending prematurely.  16 minutes in, Davis and Drew were double teaming their opponents (Davis just dropped Justice with a piledriver) until Flash snuck in and dropped Davis with a Tiger Driver.  Flash dragged his partner to his corner.  After getting escorted out of the ring, Flash makes the tag.  At the same time, Davis was crawling to his corner and make the hot tag and the fans exploded as Drew entered the ring.  Flash ran in but got caught by a handstand headscissors takedown.  Drew rolled Flash up and got the 1-2-3.  Davis and Drew get the win and the fans practically blow the roof off the place.  The Freedom Fighters limped to the back while the winners celebrated with the fans before heading back themselves.  (20 min)


The World Tag Team Champions the Steel Curtain (Buzz and Starbuck Steel) are being interviewed.  Buzz starts off “You know ‘Buck, these Bananarama’s..” Starbuck interjects “You mean Flannelnanas”…”Oh yeah,” Buzz continued.  “The Flannelnanas sure are fan favorites.  In fact, I dare say they may be more popular than us.”  Starbuck inquires “How so?”  Buzz continues “Well, for one, they have fan clubs.  The Lumber Lounge and the Banana Boat.  We don’t have fan clubs.”  Starbuck says “The fans back us.  We don’t need a club to show why we’re the #1 tag team in HCW.  In fact, tonight, two fan favorite teams put it all on the line for these belts.”  They both hold up the tag titles.  “Buzz, I think we may have a Match of the Year on our hands.”  Buzz shakes his head.  “I wouldn’t go that far but they did surprise everyone in becoming the #1 contenders.”  Starbuck adds “And that Masked Banana…he made it all the way to the Elimination Chamber even if he was the first out.”  Buzz finishes “Tonight Flannnelnanas, you meet the best team.  Bring your a-game because nothing short of that will do.”  Starbuck leans in and says “Word.”  The champs walk off.


Our next match is ready to go.  First, 1/3rd of the Six Man Tag Team Champs Maximillian Redbeard comes out to a nice pop from the crowd.  He gets in the ring and continues to get the crowd pumped up for this match.  Next, the music changes and out comes The Bounty Hunter Jake Montrose.  The fans boo him as he makes his way down to the ring.  Jake gets on the mic and says that there is a bounty on Redbeard and if he takes him out, it will be a huge payoff.  The match begins with Jake controlled a good chuck of the match.  There were a couple of near falls but Redbeard persevered.  After 15 minutes of taking that abuse, Redbeard turned up the heat and went to town on Montrose.  Maximillian was on fire.  He drops a vicious flying knee smash and looked up to see the clock winding down.  He throws Jake into the ropes and hits a huge hip toss.  He makes the cover and gets the 3 count just before the match time ran out.  Redbeard gets the win and the fans pop for him. He heads to the back as the fans cheer him on.


We’re backstage again with the man challenging for the World Title – Killa Pops.  Pops says that Prophet ruled the roost for long enough and tonight, a new champion will rise from the ashes and take the most coveted title in all of wrestling.  Tonight, Prophet sings like a canary when he’s busy tapping out.  Pops walks off.


Our co-main event is ready to get underway.  First, as the music plays (the Hey Margarita one), the Masked Banana comes out first followed by Jack Lumber.  The two look out at the crowd and make their way to the ring shaking hands with the fans.  They get in the ring and each climb a turnbuckle getting the crowd psyched up.  The music changes and the fans explode as the Tag Team Champions the Steel Curtain come out.  Buzz and Starbuck stand on the stage and hold their titles high.  They head down to the ring ready for action.  They get in the ring and after getting the crowd ready, they hand their belts to the ref so this one can begin.  This one began strong for the first 8 minutes in favor of the champs but then the king of flannel and his masked partner kicked things into high gear giving the champs a serious run.  An interesting tidbit is that after the 3rd minute of the match, there were no pin attempts at all.  The Flannelnanas truly brought their A-Game and even though this one went to a 30 min draw, the fans were solidly behind both teams.  After the bell rang bringing this one to a draw finish, the 4 men stood in the center of the ring and shook hands.  The Flannelnanas left first allowing the champs to have some time to interact with the fans before they too made their way backstage.  (30 min draw)


The World Champion Wicked Prophet is backstage.  “Killa who?  You act like I should know you.  I’ve seen droppings bigger than you.  But now, you call me out…the champ?  Killa Pops, get ready to feel my wrath.”


It’s time for the main event.  First, the music hits and out comes Killa Pops.  The fans pop for him. He makes his way down to the ring.  He removes his jacket and begins to do some stretches to loosen up for his match.  Next, the music changes and out comes the World Champion the Wicked Prophet.  The fans boo him as he makes his way to the ring.  He sneers at those at ringside who were the loudest but mostly ignored the masses.  He gets in the ring standing the in center and holds the title high.  He hands it to the ref who calls for the bell to start the match.

Wicked Prophet gets the win and stands over Pops.  Prophet gets on the mic.  “Once again, YOUR champion stands tall.  Once again, I brushed back any real competition and prove my dominance in HCW.  Wildfire, remember, you get one final shot.  Lose and I’ll make sure you never get another title match again.  The fans boo as Prophet stands tall in the ring.


Just before the show ended, we cut backstage.  The Masked Banana has a perplexed look on his face. 


“Searching through my thoughts I wonder if Jack and I would fare better separate. I don’t want to hold anyone back, especially not Jack. He’s the first real friend I have made in HCW. Ehhch see DUUUUB! Jack has gotten me that much closer to Grapeness. It has been a learning experience, and I am better off for it. I got one last thing to say – I’ll foot-punch the juice outta anyone who messes with Jack. One more last thing to say – my opponent’s tears are nourishing my banana plants nicely. When they are ripe I cannot wait to devour them to taste your tears again. (Editor’s note…Ummm, gross) Feed my body and join me in my journey to grapelyhood.”


*rips his shirt and runs full speed to the exit, then runs full speed back

“Another last word to say: portals!”

*vanishes into another dimension

What the…?

To be continued…Stay Tuned
