HCW Wrestling Newsletter 2020 #835 (3/25/20)

Hello fans and welcome back to the HCW Wrestling Newsletter.  It looks like our GM’s are playing it safe and this show will take place in an empty arena however, the good news is that this will be the last one.  Next week, our performers will be back in front of a live crowd.  The venue will be smaller than normal but fans will be allowed back in. 

In a surprising turn of events, announcer Dash ‘Smoooooth’ Woodbrick showed up at the arena.  “Making me stay home is stupid.  Don’t you know I’m immune?  So since I’m not allowed to commentate, I will be back stage interviewing.  You can’t hold me down and I’m not going anywhere.”  Dash was met by GM Master Bull.  Bull told him that they are still taking precautions and will enforce the 6’ rule.  Dash can play by those rules or he can go sit at home.  Dash hems and haws but finally agrees.  Dash’s partner in announcing J9 is still at home but is expected to be back at the April 1^st show.

Match #1:  Texas Wildfire vs Otto Ruthless.  As expected, TW dominated the match giving Otto very little time with any offensive moves.  It didn’t take long as a high cross body from TW brought this one to a quick end with a pin fall at the 7 minute mark.  Wildfire gets his arm raised in victory.  He turns to leave but then is blindsided by The Bounty Hunter Jake Montrose.  Montrose beats Wildfire down and then plants him with a DDT in the middle of the ring.  Montrose smirks and then leaves.  Wildfire is helped to the back by the ref.

In the back, Dash meets up with Hardcore Champion Dr. Red Fang and his manager the Ambassador.  Dash states that Fang, as good as he is, hasn’t gone up against a true madman before.  “Mason has many screws loose.  With you not being allowed at ringside, what does that do for the chances of Dr. Red Fang?”  The Ambassador states “Without a doubt, Madman Mason is the craziest SOB in HCW but crazy doesn’t necessarily equal violence.  Dr. Red Fang is as vicious as they come.  You ask about his chances…I say they’re pretty good.”  Fang and the Ambassador walk off.  Dash looks at the camera.  “Well, I guess you got your answer.”

Match #2:  Matches Malone vs Col. Samuel Flagg.  The two begin brawling all over the ring.  Neither man seem to care about pin or submission but who can inflict the most damage.  The brawl went a whopping 20 minutes before anyone attempted a pin.  Malone threw Flagg into the ropes and hit a fallaway slam.  He goes for the cover but the bell rings after a 1 count.  The match is considered a time limit draw.  This did not dissuade them from continuing to fight as they spilled out of the ring and fought all the way to the back.  (20 min draw).  This is not over by a longshot.

Dash is backstage with GM Max McGillicutty.  Max says that things are escalating between Flagg and Malone and for better or worse, they will meet again.  Max says that the two will be in a specialty match at the PPV.  It’s time to settle this once and for all.  Dash agrees.

Match #3:  Phat Sol vs Wilber Townsend.  Another feud where the opponents would rather inflict damage on each other.  Each time it seemed that Phat was getting the upper hand, Wilber would begin cackling and it put Phat off his game.   This went on for the entire match and this one also ended in a time limit draw.  Wilber left after the match and kept laughing at Phat all the way to the back.  GM Master Bull comes out and says that the two will have a rematch at the PPV.  (20 min draw)

We head backstage where ‘Sassy Maxine DeVito walks up to Korbi Kong.  Maxine issues a challenge to Korbi for a match at the PPV which Korbi is quick to accept.  The two stare at each other until Maxine begins unloading on Korbi and then slams her hard on the concrete floor and then kicks her in the ribs.  She smirks and walks away.  Just then, the Masked Banana walks over and sees Korbi out on the ground.  He calls a ref over and quickly makes the cover and gets the 1-2-3.  The Masked Banana has become the Anytime/Anywhere Champion again.  He then called medics over to check on Korbi.  He turns and leaves but turns around and leaves Nannie with Korbi.  Awwwwww.

Match #4:  ‘Sassy’ Maxine DeVito vs Sarona Reiher.   Maxine dominated the match for the first 8 minutes but then Korbi Kong came out.  Korbi went down to the ring.   Maxine just hit Sarona with the Sass Attack but was too busy jaw jacking with Korbi to go for the pin.  Korbi just stood there and that seemed to infuriate Maxine.  Sarona got back to her feet and picked up Maxine and hit a Samoan drop.  She made the cover and got the 1-2-3.  Sarona gets the win and Korbi leaves with a measure of revenge.  She makes it back to the stage, turns and smirks at Maxine who is stewing in the ring.  Korbi leaves.  (12 min)

Dash is backstage with the Smashers.  Smasher #1 says that they will accept the challenge made by Davis Hoffmeister and Drew the Canadian Love Machine.  Smasher #2 says that Davis and Drew’s days in HCW are numbered.  They walk off.  Dash calls the Smashers the baddest team in HCW.  Once they finish with Double D, they are going after the Steel Curtain.

Match #5:  Hardcore title match:  Dr. Red Fang vs Madman Mason.  Lights Out rules.  The two men fight tooth and nail for 5 minutes straight with Mason dropping Fang with the Psychotic Break.  Weird music played and Mason stopped to see what was going on.  Just then, Jack Lawson (HE”S BACK) hits the ring and drops Mason with an Angry chokeslam.  Lawson rolls out of the ring and Fang picks Mason up and nails a Vampire Lunge.  He makes the cover and gets the 1-2-3.  Dr. Red Fang gets the win and laughs and leaves.  Lawson re-enters the ring and stands over Madman Mason.  Lawson picks him up and hits not one, not two but 3 chokeslams.  Lawson leaves with some measure of revenge.

Backstage, Dash interviews the World Champion and King of HCW the Wicked Prophet.  “Your Lordship, thank you for granting me the privilege to talk with you.  Tonight, you defend your title against someone who is NOT Texas Wildfire.”  “Dash, you are one of the only intelligent people in HCW and thank you for showing respect.  Texas Wildfire has been extinguished.  Now I move on but who do I have tonight?  Chic Monroe.  Come on…this is the best you have for me?”  Dash adds “You know your lordship, Killa Pops is waiting in the wings for his shot.”  Prophet shakes his head.  “Another wannabe.  Killa Pops…the only thing you’ve shown me is that you can ride the coattails of two teammates.  You keep calling me out and you will get exactly what’s coming to you.  Now, I have a match to go to.”

Match 6:  Main Event.  World Title Championship match:  The King, the Wicked Prophet vs Superstar Chic Monroe.  Chic comes out first and is followed by the World Champion.  Prophet looks pissed off as there is no one for him to mock in the audience.  Prophet gets in the ring and stands in front of Monroe and holds the title in his face.  The ref calls for the bell to start the match and Prophet gives the ref a dirty look.  Prophet starts off hitting the SMITE but Chic nails a straight jacket suplex.  He goes for the pin but only gets a 2 count. Chic stuns Prophet with a boot to the face.  Prophet then locks Chic up in the Crucifix Clutch and traps him in the middle of the ring.  Monroe struggles but he can’t get free so he taps out.  Wicked Prophet gets the win in 3 short minutes.  The ref raises Prophet’s hand but he sees someone coming down the ramp.  He turns and to see Killa Pops making his way out.  Pops stands on the stage and motions that he will be taking Prophet’s title. 

The show comes to an end with the two jaw jacking. 

Things continue to heat up so stay tuned.

***News Flash*** 

GM Max McGillicutty says that they are not cleared yet so the wrestlers on our next show will be going VIRTUAL!  That’s right, each person will play a wrestling video game using avatars of themselves.  This will be the first time we’ve ever tried something like this so stay tuned.

HCW Wrestling Newsletter 2020 #834 (3/21/20) – Saturday Night Showdown

Hello fans and welcome to our special – Saturday Night Showdown.  The Coronavirus continues to force a lockdown so this show will also be broadcast live but with no audience in attendance.  Tonight, the Huber Clan and the Muscles Trio square off in a no DQ match.  With the absence of the fans, the action can spill anywhere.  

                                                               

Our first match begins with Ivan Dragovich making his way out and down to the ring.  He is followed out by Phat Sol.  Sol slides under the ring but Ivan begins putting the boots to him before he even gets to his feet.  Phat retaliates by choking Ivan on the top rope.  He tries to follow it up with a forearm smash but Ivan moves.  Phat hits a kneelift but Ivan locks in the Accolade Clutch but Phat makes it to the ropes.  Just then, Wilber Townsend comes out sneaking to the ring and while Ivan distracted the ref, Wilber hits Phat with a steel chair.  He then hides under the ring.  Ivan drags Phat back to the center of the ring and locks in the Accolade Clutch again and this time Phat taps out.  Ivan gets the win and smirks at the camera before leaving.  He takes off and Wilber sneaks out from under the ring.  He sneaks in behind Phat and hits him with the GTS.  He cackles and then leaves.  The ref helps Phat to his feet and takes him to the back.   (4 min)

Backstage, the Freedom Fighters – Justice and Flash – say that they accept the challenge from the Steel Curtain.  Flash says that this will be the biggest mistake the Curtain will make in their careers.

Adam Jameson makes his way out for the next match and gets on the mic.  He calls out Madman Mason challenging him for his spot on the Hardcore Top 10.  Madman Mason comes out and accepts but says Adam has to earn it.  This match will need to prove if Adam can cut it so it will be an ECW rules match.  Mason rushes the ring and he and Adam begin fighting.  Adam had the upper hand for the first couple of minutes but then Mason kicked things into high gear.  Neither did anything out of the norm until the 10 minute mark when Mason blasted Adam with a cookie sheet busting him open.  Mason immediately makes the cover and gets the 3 count.  Mason retains his spot.  He throws out a challenge to Dr. Red Fang promising to take the title at the next show.  (10 min)

Backstage, Davis ‘the Hoff’ Hoffmeister and Drew the Canadian Love Machine issue a challenge the Smashers for a match at the PPV.   If the Smashers really want a piece of them, they will not be hard to find.

Our next match has been brewing for some time between these two teams.  First, the Huber Clan (Butch, Ferb and Junior Huber) comes out and heads to the ring.  They seem satisfied that there are no fans there to boo them.  Next, the Muscles Trio (Weasley, McGuire & Thorpe) all make their way out.  The rush to the railing to hand out boxes of Booty O’s cereal but there is no one to give them to.  Thorpe then sees a banana (Nannie?) sitting alone in a chair.  Thorpe takes a box over and sets it next to the banana.  They then head to the ring. This no DQ match begins almost immediately with all 6 men slugging away. The Hubers had control early on but then the Muscles took over and dominated the match.   Towards the end, both Butch and Ferb were dumped into the empty chairs.  They then triple teamed Junior before Thorpe ended it with a Muscles Crush.  The Trio are victorious but it is short lived after Butch and Ferb re-entered the ring and began hitting the trio with chairs.  Junior recovered and ended up hitting Weasley with a big right knocking him out.  Ferb and Butch put Thorpe through a table and then the trio went after McGuire smacking him around with a kendo stick.  The Clan then discarded their weapons and began to leave.  Thorpe got to his feet and grabbed a mic challenging the Clan to a Death Match.  The Clan were quick to accept.  Our PPV is shaping up nicely.  (19 min for the match; 5 for the aftermath)

We head backstage and are with the Anytime/Anywhere Champion the Masked Banana.  He is desperately looking around for Nannie but can’t seem to find him.  The Trio walk (limp) by and say that Nannie is out in one of the chairs in the audience.  He breathes a sigh of relief but then walks around the corner only to run into Tommy Lightning.  MB begins to back up and turns to find room move.  Tommy attacks and we have an impromptu title defense.  The impromptu match is only given a 5 min time limit.  It doesn’t take long for Masked Banana to lock in the B.A.N.A.N.A.S. and Tommy submits almost immediately.  2 minutes and the Masked Banana is victorious.  MB gets up but Tommy ends up tripping him and he falls flat and hard on the floor.  Korbi Kong just so happened to be walking by and sees MB on the floor.  She motions for the ref to come over.  She climbs up a couple of boxes and delivers the Mile High elbow drop.  She makes the cover hooking the leg and gets the 1-2-3.  Korbi Kong has just become the Anytime/Anywhere Champion.  She takes the title and walks off.

Backstage, Matches Malone challenges Flagg to a match at the PPV. 

We go back to the ring for our next match.  First, Billy Robbins comes out and is followed shortly thereafter by Wilber Townsend.  Wilber is wearing his creepy Pennywise mask and he goes right after Billy dominating this short match.  Wilber brings it to and end at the 8 minute mark after hitting a lifting side slam and making the cover to get the 1-2-3.   Wilber begins his maniacal laugh but he is interrupted by Phat Sol.  The two begin slugging it out and fight all the way up the ramp and to the back.  This feud doesn’t seem to be over by a long shot.

Backstage, Col. Flagg accepts the challenge from Matches Malone.  Another match is added to our ever growing 3 day PPV card.

It’s time for our Main Event.  The ref announces this will only have a 20 minute time limit.  The Ladies title is on the line.  First, Taylor Bella comes out and heads to the ring.  Next, Catalina comes out and she is accompanied by a clowder of cats.  They are following her to the ring like she were the pied piper.  Taylor sneezes (she must be allergic to cats so this won’t be in her favor).

HCW Wrestling Newsletter 2020 #833 (3/18/20)

Hello fans and welcome to another installment of the HCW Wrestling Newsletter.  Due to the Coronavirus outbreak, tonight’s show is taped without an audience.  Our commentators Dash ‘Smooth’ Woodbrick and J9 also have the night off.

The first match on the card is a spot challenge.  Killa Pops has issued a challenge to Talon McFrost for his spot in the World title top 10.  Pops wants another shot at Prophet.  Killa comes out first and is followed by Talon.  Without a crowd, this one starts quickly.

===== In the 1st minute of the match: =====

Holy Cow, Talon gets the quick win due to outside interference from the King of HCW the Wicked Prophet.  Prophet walks away smiling.  Pops is not a happy camper.

We cut to a promo from GM Max McGillicutty.  “Fans of HCW, for the first time ever, we are conducting our shows in empty arenas.  We understand that this is not preferred by our fans but we take the safety of our fans as one of our top priorities.  There are just some things you don’t mess with. 

I also want to take this moment to announce that both the Huber Clan and the Muscles Trio have been reinstated at the request of both teams.  It has been agreed upon that they will have a match at our upcoming PPV Critical Mass and it will be a specialty match of sorts.  With that, I send you back to the ring.”

Our next match is ready to go.  With no fans in the arena, there is no reason to play anyone’s music.  First, Apollo Gyze and Tommy Lightning come out and enter the ring.  Next, the Masked Banana comes out first and is carrying his mascot Nannie.  He walks to the ring and puts Nannie in a high chair so he/it can see the action.  The US Champion Rad Gumbo comes out next and joins MB at the ring and they enter at the same time.  Like the last match, this one starts immediately.  Apollo tells Tommy to stand on the outside of the ring because he’s “got this”.

The team of the Masked Banana and The Ragin Cajun Rad Gumbo get the win.  MB stops and collects Nannie before heading to the back.

Korbi Kong makes her way out and she calls out Hayley Hailstone.  Hayley and her manager Matt Preacher come to the stage.  Korbi motions for Hayley to come to the ring and she obliges.  Hayley and Matt walk down to the ring.  Korbi sits on the second rope and pushes the top rope up so that Haley can enter (also slightly making fun of her height).  Hayley shushes her away and enters the ring.  Hayley goes right on the offensive and slightly injures Korbi.  With some “guidance” from Matt Preacher, she dominated the match.  Korbi got an offensive run going after climbing to the top rope and jumping hitting the Mile High flying elbow drop.  Before she could go for the pin, “Sassy’ Maxine DeVito comes out causing a distraction.  Hayley took advantage and hit the What the Hail and rolled up Korbi (with a handful of tights and her feet on the ropes) and got the 1-2-3.  Hayley gets the win and jumps for joy.  Korbi shoots her an annoyed glance and takes off after Maxine.  Maxine sees her coming so she takes off with Korbi in tow.  (15 min)

Backstage, the World Tag Team Champions the Steel Curtain are cutting a promo.  They say they are looking forward to meeting two of the 6 man champs.  The 6 Man champs held their own in defending their titles but now they are in Tag team action and this is where the Curtain dominates.  Starbuck says that this is their time and Buzz leans over and says “Word”.

We head back to the ring for our next match.  First, Biceps Bannerman comes out and makes his way to the ring.  Next, Scooter J comes out accompanied by TNT.  For this match, TNT is acting as a “consultant” to SJ.  Scooter J gets in the ring and TNT taunts Biceps from the outside.  The bell rings and this one is off to the races.  Biceps used his power and dominated the match.  TNT tried to get involved and ate a huge fist for his trouble.  SJ was starting to mount an offensive but then the loudspeakers blared out “VAMPIRE LUNGES FOR EVERYBODY” and SJ became distracted looking around for the evil, diabolical Dr. Red Fang but he wasn’t there.  Bannerman then whipped SJ to the ropes and hit a huge spinebuster.  Biceps made the cover and got the 3 count.  Bannerman gets the win and leaves after his arm is raised.  TNT enters the ring acting like he was going to attack Bannerman but never acted on it.  He turns around only to come face to face with Dr. Red Fang.  Fang hits TNT with a Vampire Lunge but before he can turn his attention to Scooter J, SJ hits Fang with a superkick followed by 10 punches.  SJ kicks Fang where the sun don’t shine and walked away all smug.  I am sure the fans at home are booing the crap out of him. (10 min).  The Ambassador rushes out and helps Fang to the back.

It’s time now for our main event.  First, Maximillian Redbeard and Superquake Ferguson come out and walked down to the ring and entered.  Next, the World Tag Team Champions came out and stood on the stage staring at their opponents in the ring.  Buzz and Starbuck Steel then walked down to the ring and got in.  With no fans to psyche up, this one is ready to get moving.
