HCW Wrestling Newsletter 2020 #840 (4/18/20) – Critical Mass PPV Day 2


Hello fans and welcome to Day 2 of our Critical Mass PPV.  The event is sold out in front of a packed arena.  Pyro goes off and the spotlights zip across the crowd as people are amped up for this match.  We go right to our announcers J9 and Dash ‘Smooooooth’ Woodbrick.


J9:  Dash, can you believe it?  We are here for Day 2 of the Critical Mass Pay Per View.  \

Dash:  Man, haven’t you heard of social distancing?  We’re packed like sardines in here.  (Dash turns to a fan behind him) – HEY…YEAH YOU…take a shower lately?  Hygiene, man, hygiene”.

J9:  Dash, we’re supposed to be talking about the show and not insulting the fans.

Dash:  That guy ain’t a fan..Hey, have you ever driven by a dog food manufacturer?

J9:  No

Dash:  Get a whiff of this guy and you’ll wish you did.  HAHA

J9:  Dash, give me a break.  Anyway, the card tonight, Col. Flagg takes on Matches Malone is a boot camp match; Davis Hoffmeister and Drew the Canadian Love Machine take on the Smashers in a falls count anywhere match; the Huber Clan and the Muscles Trio finally meet in a death match; Everyone’s favorite fruit the Masked Banana defends the AA title against Tommy Lightning.

Dash:  That fruitcake may have defeated Tommy twice but mark my words, lightning will strike a third time.

J9:  Sure.  Back to the matches.  The Steel Curtain defend the World tag team titles against the Freedom Fighters and lastly, Ladies Champion Catalina Harper defends her title in a Lights out match against her nemesis Violet Valkyrie.

Dash:  You know Valkyries are mythical, right?  She’s just going to fade off into the sunset.

J9:  Don’t bet on that Dash. Looks like we’re being treated to an appearance by GM Max McGillicutty.

Dash:  Big Woop.

GM Max McGillicutty comes out to address the crowd.  He thanks the fans for attending and congratulates them on helping make Day 1 a huge success.  They are expecting today to be no different.  He then leaves the stage so that the event can begin.


Dash:  I think we could have done without that.

J9:  Give me a break Dash.


Pyro goes off and the first match of Day 2 is underway.  The rules for this match will be boot camp.  Matches Malone makes his way out first and gets a decent pop from the fans (for those who don’t know, Matches Malone is the alias Batman uses when going into the criminal underworld but he doesn’t exactly have Batman’s physique).  He heads to the ring dressed in street clothes as this will not be so much a wrestling match but a street fight.  Next, we hear “AH-TEN-SHUUUUN” and out comes Col. Flagg.  The fans boo as he makes his way to the ring.  It doesn’t take long for the two to begin fighting so the bell rings pretty fast.  Flagg got in a few shots but this match was all about Malone exacting revenge on the colonel.   Malone kept the offensive flurry going but he couldn’t seem to keep Flagg down for the 3 count.  At the 19th minute, Malone caught Flagg with a sleeperhold and the let him go.  Flagg fell to the mat.  Malone then hit the ropes jumping and landing with an elbow smash.  He made the cover securely hooking the leg and got the 1-2-3.  Matches Malone gets the win and the fans give him a nice recognition.  Malone has his arm raised in victory.  He looks at Flagg one last time and then leaves.  Col Flagg had to be helped to the back.  (20 min)


J9:  Matches Malone wins the war between him and Flagg.  I think this is one feud that could be put to rest.

Dash:  What?  Wait?  It’s over?  Darn, I slept through the whole thing.  Ha Ha.

J9:  Dash, give me a break.


We head backstage and interviewer Clarkus Kentus is with Davis Hoffmeister and Drew the Canadian Love Machine.    Davis says that the Smashers bit off more than they can chew attacking him and Drew but tonight, we show them who the better team is.  Drew then adds that the two of them are the two biggest fan favorites in HCW.  After the match with the Smashers, they will be ready to make a run at the Tag Team Titles.  Davis adds that it doesn’t matter if it’s the Steel Curtain or the Freedom Fighters…tonight, they officially challenge the winners of tonight’s contest.


We head back to the ring for our next match.  This one is Death Match rules between the Huber Clan and the Muscles Trio.  Both teams have spent time in the hospital due to attacks by each other and tonight, this feud comes to an end with one team winning and the other…well…not.  First, the Muscles Trio come out as their typical jovial selves wearing their rainbow colored bull horns and handing out mini boxes of ‘Booty O’s’ cereal.  They get into the ring and motion for the Hubers to join them.  The Huber clan comes out next and Butch, Ferb and Junior are all ready for a fight.  They are booed as they make their way to the ring.  Before they can enter, the Trio bounced off the ropes and went flying through the second rope crashing into their opponents on the floor.  The fans pop.  The bell rings and this one is underway.  The Muscles DOMINATED the Huber’s and it wasn’t pretty.  2 minutes in, both Butch and Ferb are taken out of the match entirely after being slammed on a table with C4 that exploded ending any chance at helping their brother.  At the 3rd minute, Glass gets brought in and while the Trio triple teamed Junior, McGuire threw Junior into a pane of glass causing Junior to bleed.  Junior managed to suplex Weasley into a pane of glass cutting him too.  Thorpe then threw Junior into a (makeshift, not totally real) landmine which blew in the Mountain Man’s face blinding him.  Even disoriented, Junior managed to reverse a hurricanrana from McGuire and hurled him into the corner following it up with a huge splash.    McGuire recovers and hits Junior with a Boom Drop Jumping Double Leg and went for the pin but Junior powered out.  A bloodied up Weasley is tagged in and he hits Junior with an Honor Roll rolling clothesline.  He goes for the pin but Junior kicks out again.  Thorpe is eventually tagged in and whips Junior head first into a barbed wire board.  He goes for the cover only for Junior to kick out again.  Junior grabs Thorpe locking in a lifting arm triangle choke but Thorpe doesn’t tap and puts Junior through another pane of glass.   Weasley is tagged in and hits Junior with a double foot stomp and then follows it up with a Tornado DDT.  Weasley makes the cover and with no family to help, he gets the 1-2-3.  The Muscles Trio get the win much to the delight of the fans.  They celebrate briefly in the ring but then head to the back for medical attention.  3 gurneys come out and load the Hubers on to them and take them to the hospital.  (12 min)


J9:  Good Golly Ms. Molly.  That had to be the most violent thing I’ve seen…well, ever. 

Dash:  Those Hubers are tough hombres.  Don’t count them out.   They’ll be back.

J9:  I don’t know Dash.  But we will see.


We head to the back where Larry Morton is with the Anytime/Anywhere Champion the Masked Banana.


MB: All I can say is BLDM. Banana Lives Don’t Matter. That is why I am striving for grapeness. I appreciate Korbingo Kongo taking great care of Nannie, but there are millions of other nannies out there that are just the same as the ones I brought to HCW. I love them all equally, and that is why none of them matter. I also want to note that I was excluded from participating from the virtual show because BLDM. The game didn’t program a banana character because BLDM. I have my suspicions that the grape equivalent of the illuminati coded the game. They are known as the Verdicchios, or Verdies as I like to call them. Verdies got me down.


LM:  MB, you take on Tommy Lightning tonight for the title AND you have a Money in the Bank contract that you can cash in at any time.  I think you’re one of the luckiest guys right now in HCW.


MB:  Larry, you’re right. Banana Power will rule the world…just you wait and see.

The Masked Banana then leaves.


Dash:  Someone needs to squash that Banana once and for all.  He is a menace to society; not to mention an eye sore.

J9:  Give me a break.  He’s one of the most popular wrestlers in HCW.

Dash:  Yeah, his yearbook photo says ‘Most likely to become a bread’.  HAHA



Next up on the card is Davis and Drew taking on the Smashers in a Falls Count Anywhere match.  First, the Smashers (1 & 2) come out to massive booing from the crowd.  They responds with multiple gestures to the fans which gets them even more riled up.  When the music changes, the fans pop HUGE for Davis ‘the Hoff’ Hoffmeister and Drew the Canadian Love Machine.  These guys are so over with the fans it’s insane.  They stand on the stage soaking in the crowd response and then make their way to the ring.  The Smashers are ready for action.  Smasher #1 takes the mic and says that after they defeat Drew and Davis, THEY will be challenging for the Tag Team Titles.   He throws down the mic and these two teams are ready for a fight.  The rules for this one are Falls Count Anywhere so there does not have to be a pin or submission in the ring.  Davis and Drew started off strong but then the Smashers turned up the heat and really gave the fan favorites a serious run for their money.  Davis got a near submission after locking Smasher #2 in the Hollywood Clutch but he managed to make it to the ropes.  15 minutes in, Smasher #2 bodyslams Davis but he is up right away and slugs Smasher #2 before hitting a plancha through a table.  He goes for the pin but Smasher #1 makes the save.  He drags his partner to his corner and tags himself in.  Smasher #1 picked up Davis and pressed him over his head before hurling him into the 3rd row.  The fans caught him so it didn’t do much damage but Davis was up and after a kick to the gut, he hit Smasher #1 with a plancha through another table (that Drew set up).   Davis goes for the pin and Drew watched his back for any other interference (there was none) and Davis got the 1-2-3.   Drew and Davis get the win and the fans practically explode with excitement.  The ref raises their arms in victory and Davis and Drew motion to the camera that they are coming for the Tag Team Titles.  (16 min)


J9:  And just like that, Drew and Davis get the win.

Dash:  Steal is more like it.  They used two tables which are clearly foreign objects and they should have been disqualified.

J9:  Dash, this was a no-DQ match so they couldn’t have been.

Dash:  I’m sure the crooked management is behind this.

J9:  Dash, you better watch yourself.  Your mouth is getting ready to overdraft.

Dash sneers at J9.


We head backstage with the Tag Team Champions the Steel Curtain.  Buzz and Starbuck look happy. Buzz begins “I’ve got to hand it to the team of Davis and Drew.  They took the Smashers to the edge and walked away with the victory.”  Starbuck added “Congrats to you two.  I heard you are looking to us next.  Buzz and I are always ready for real competition so let’s see where this goes.”  Buzz says “But now, we have the Freedom Fighters.  Justice and Flash.  You guys jumped us wanting to make a name for yourselves.  Tonight, on the grandest stage of them all, you get your time in the limelight.  Just because you think you’re in our league doesn’t mean you are.”  Starbuck chimed in.  “Show us what you’ve got.  Let’s see if you have what it takes to run with the big dogs.  And we’ve got two words for ya…S..”  Buzz stops him.  “Buck, we can’t say that.  It’s trademarked.  What we can say is”…(both men lean towards the camera…”Word”.  The champs walk off.


It’s time for our first title match of the night.   First, Tommy Lightning comes out to huge booing from the crowd.  He flips them off and makes his way to the ring.  He paces in the ring waiting for his opponent.  Music plays and we hear:











Peach, Pomegranate, Lime Margarita

Green, orange, purple margarita

Salt, rocks, frozen margarita

Hey Margarita!











The Masked Banana comes out to a surprisingly loud pop from the crowd.  He makes a point of acknowledging his fans located in the Banana Boat (his fan club) and then makes his way to the ring.  Tommy continues to pace impatiently.   The match begins with Tommy hitting a sunset flip trying to go for an early pin but then MB turned up the heat and began to dominate Tommy in the ring.  MB really embarrassed Tommy and at the 9 minute mark, he hits Tommy with the Banana Hammock and goes for the pin but Tommy grabs the rope to break the pin.  He rolls out of the ring and is doing something under the ring apron.  MB leans over only for Tommy to throw something in his face blinding him.  He desperately tries to clear his eyes but Tommy slides back in and hits the ropes hitting MB with a flying dropkick.  Tommy makes the cover hooking the tights AND has his feet on the ropes and gets the 1-2-3.  Tommy Lightning has just defeated the Masked Banana to become the NEW Anytime/Anywhere Champion.  MB rolls out of the ring still trying to clear his eyes.   


Dash:  Ha Ha, that yellow freak lost.  What a maroon!

J9:  Dash, it was clear that Tommy Lightning cheated.  He threw something into his face.

Dash:  I didn’t see anything.  Hey…What’s this…?


Just then, the music changed and the fans pop huge as Phat Sol comes out.  He rushes down to the ring and checks on the Masked Banana.  He tries to tell the ref that Tommy cheated but Tommy claims innocence.  Phat asks MB if he can have a shot at Tommy and MB says yes as he is helped to the back to clear his eyes.  Phat challenges Tommy for the belt right now and it looks like we have ourselves another match.



Tommy vs Phat Sol for the Anytime/Anywhere title.  Tommy tried to hold his own against the Phat Man but it was no use.  Phat was a man on a mission to avenge MB’s loss.  Phat didn’t try for a pin until the 11 minute mark after he hit the Phat’s Enough.  He went for the pin but Tommy managed to kick out.  Tommy hit a monkey flip and then exited the ring.  He went to the same place where he got the foreign substance from.  He went to throw it in Phat’s face but Phat blew it back into Tommy’s blinding him. 


Dash:  CHEATER….CHEATER….

J9:  I don’t know what you’re talking about.  I didn’t see anything.


Phat drags Tommy back into the ring and connects with a vertical suplex.  He then rolls Tommy up and gets the 1-2-3.   Phat Sol has just become the NEW Anytime/Anywhere Champion! 


Dash:  What a miscarriage of justice.  Lightning was robbed.

J9:  You were right about one thing…Lightning did strike but it was Phat Sol who did the striking.

Dash:  Harrumph!


We head backstage and we’re with the NEW Hardcore Champion TNT and his tag team partner Scooter J.  SJ congratulates TNT on winning the belt and says that they worked together to get the belt off of Dr. Red Fang.  TNT says that having Scooter J at his side has been amazing and that this is only the first step for them as a team.  TNT turns to leave and SJ acts like he’s going to attack him but then doesn’t.  Then he does.  He beats TNT down and throws him into some boxes.  A bunch of backstage workers rush over and prevent SJ from doing any more damage.  Scooter J storms off.


J9: Scooter J is such a sore loser. 

Dash:  Nope, he’s a man that knows what he wants and TNT is in his way. 


We head back to the ring for our next title match.  First, the Freedom Fighters come out to booing from the crowd.   They head down to the ring and wait.  The music changes and the fans pop HUGE as out comes the World Tag Team Champions the Steel Curtain.  They make their way to the ring and enter.  Each man climbs a corner turnbuckle holding the belts high all the while keeping an eye out on their opponents.  They step down and hand the titles to the ref.   The bell rings and this one is underway.  For the first 7 minutes, the Freedom Fighters went toe to toe with the champions but then the experience of the Steel Curtain took over and they dominated the match.   We join the match at the 25 minute mark.

After a hard fought battle, this one ends in a draw.   The Steel Curtain totally dominated the challengers but were unable to put them away in the end.  The Freedom Fighters leave with a measure of satisfaction knowing they took the champs to the limit.  The next time, it may be different.  Buzz and Starbuck celebrated in the ring and with the fans before making their way to the back.


Dash:  Wouldn’t you know it.   The Champs hiding behind a time limit draw.  I bet that if the Freedom Fighters had 60 minutes, we’d be seeing new champions.

J9:  Don’t count on it Dash.  You saw how badly they were getting whupped in the end.

Dash:  I stand by my comments.

J9:  Well, you’re the only one.



We head backstage for a promo from the Ladies Champion Catalina Harper:  “Being such a connoisseur of fine music, I like to hum.  Some people find that irritating.  Tough cat biscuits.   Little Valkyrie, I’m going to pluck those wings right off you and show you and these ungrateful little turds you don’t mess with the BIG CAT.  You’ll go to Valhalla on a stretcher.”  She begins to hum ‘the Flight of the Valkyries’ (badly) and then turns to the camera and says “What?” 


It’s time for our Main Event.   “Rise of the Valkyries” begins to play and pyro and fog go off on stage.  Next, we see Violet Valkyrie zipping through on her zip line and makes it to the ring.  Violet is wearing a costume with metallic wings wearing Viking braids and a face painted for war.  She is then lowered to the ring.  She unhooks herself and then asks for a microphone. 


“CATALINA, WELCOME TO TACOMA.”  The fans pop huge for her.  She waits for a break.  “You are in my town now and let me tell you how it goes here:  In Tacoma we are LOUD.”  She takes a break again as the fans explode with applause.  “We take what we want and take no SH!T. AND I WANT TO BE CHAMPION. I will wear a crown with these wings, and you will bow down. I don’t even want to hear you hummm a sad little meow while I drag you past Valhalla.”


The music changes and out comes the Ladies Champion Catalina Harper.  The fans boo her but she doesn’t seem to care.  She makes her way to the ring and motions for Violet to back off so she can enter the ring.  Violet steps back to allow her entry.  Catalina walks past her and climbs the turnbuckle holding the title high as the fans continue to boo.  She hops down and hands the title to the ref.  Just then, we hear the sounds of thunder and lightning strikes and Catalina has a full spaz moment (like a cat in a thunderstorm).  Violet smiles as she knows she got under the champ’s skin.  The bell rings and this one begins.  For the first 15 minutes of the match, Violet dominated the champion even getting a few near falls.  Catalina began her comeback hitting the Cat’s Meow for a 2 count.  Right about the 20 minute mark, someone dressed in all black snuck in from the crowd.  She (?) crouched down by the ring so no one could see her (?).  Violet hit Catalina with the Exploder Suplex and made the cover.  The ref began to count 1…2…and suddenly the person in all black grabbed Violet’s foot pulling her off Catalina and out to the floor.  She began hammering Violet with clubbing shots and then threw her hard into the steel steps.  The fans and the referee had no idea what was happening.  After bouncing Violet’s head on the ring apron twice, she shoved her back into the ring and then took back off in the crowd.  Catalina was stunned but immediately took advantage of the situation.

Catalina Harper is victorious and takes the title (forcibly) from the ref.  Catalina looks on with concern briefly then begins to laugh.  She holds her title high as the fans boo but she doesn’t care.  The show comes to an end with Catalina standing tall in the center of the ring.


Dash:  I guess Violet wasn’t able to back up her big mouth.

J9:  Dash, sometimes I really wonder about you.  She was clearly attacked by some mystery person. 

Dash:  I think you’re dreaming.

J9:  Dash, SHUT UP!

Dash:  Well I never…

J9:  That is all we have.  We will see you here tomorrow.  Thank you and goodnight.


That is the end of Day 2.  Day 3 is up next.  Stay tuned.
