Hello fans and
welcome back to another installment of the HCW Wrestling Newsletter. Things don’t take long to kick off when Jack
Lumber makes his way onto the stage. The
fans pop and Jack soaks it in. He then
lets the fans know that he is cashing in his contract at the Supershow this
Saturday. The fans pop again but then
change their tune when ‘Sassy’ Maxine DeVito comes out. She snatches the mic out of Jack’s hand. She tells Jack that there were some
underhanded shenanigans going on and she’s going to dig into the FRAUD
perpetuated by someone acting on his behalf.
Maxine says that Jack may hold a contract but one man is due for a title
shot before him. If Jack wants a shot at
the World title on Saturday, tonight, he has to take on ‘Bad News’ Marvin
Barnes. Maxine says that Jack will have
an uphill battle and says that as he ‘stole’ the title match, he will NOT win
tonight. She walks off laughing. Jack
smirks and then leaves also.
The show kicks off
with some pyro and out comes the Anytime/Anywhere Champion Maximillian
Redbeard. He gets into the ring and says
that he did what anyone in the back would have done – even that lowlife Apollo
Gyze – capitalize on a situation. He got
lucky and defeated Apollo to win the AA title.
He says he feels a little bad and wants to offer Apollo a shot at
regaining that title tonight. “APOLLO
GYZE DON’T APOLOGIZE” blares over the loudspeakers and out comes Apollo. He is booed heavily as he makes his way to
the ring. He says that Redbeard stole
his title and tonight, he’s taking it back.
The bell rings. Apollo took the
match hard to Redbeard but then someone in all black hit Apollo with a chair
knocking him out and causing the disqualification. Apollo wins the match but not the title. (4 min)
The man in black then destroys Redbeard with the chair softening him
up. He has a ref of his own and calls
for the bell. Those chair shots really
softened Redbeard up. The man in black
dominated the champ for 5 whopping minutes before Redbeard got one shot
in. 10 punches, a superkick and a
clothesline later and Redbeard was down.
The man removes the mask and it’s…Scooter J. SJ makes the pin and gets the 3 count. Scooter J just became the NEW
ANYTIME/ANYWHERE CHAMPION. He takes the
title and holds it high laughing and pointing to his head (he outsmarted
everyone). He takes the title and
leaves. (11 min)
‘Bad News’ Marvin
Barnes is backstage. “Lumber slumber, I’ve
got some bad news for ya…you are trying to take my spot? You can’t hold a candle to me and tonight,
you’ll wish you never set foot in the ring with me.” He walks off.
We head back to
the ring for our next match. First, TNT
comes out and he’s booed as he makes his way to the ring. He gets in and continues to incite the
crowd. Next, “Hey Margarita” plays and
out comes the Masked Banana to a HUGE pop from the crowd. He stops by the Banana Boat to visit his fans
before heading to the ring. TNT attacks
him right off the bat. His advantage
doesn’t last long. For 10 minutes, the
match was practically even but then spirited on by his fans, MB began to
destroy TNT. Although it took an additional 8 minutes, MB outwrestled his
opponent. TNT tried to bounce off the ropes
only to slip and slide on a banana peel before hitting the Banana Cream
Pie. MB makes the cover and gets the 3
count. The fans pop as MB has his hand
raised. TNT goes to the corner and
removes the turnbuckle cover. He then
attacks MB from behind and smashes MB’s head into the turnbuckle. Blood starts to show through his mask. TNT scoffs and then leaves. The Masked Banana is helped to the back to a
nice applause from the fans. (18 min)
Apollo Gyze is
sitting in the back with his chin resting on his fist. “Nobody knows…the
troubles I’ve seen. Nobody knows…my
sorrow.” He looks up as the Wicked
Prophet walks past. Prophet stops and
turns to him and says “Good God, man up!”
He then walks away. Apollo stand
up. “Yeah, I’ll do that” and walks off.
J9 makes her way
out to booing from the crowd. She gets
in the ring and calls out Goldie Locks.
Goldie rushes down to the ring but J9 bails. She tells Goldie that she is the weak link
and will never amount to anything.
Goldie suggests they have a match. J9 says she will determine the when
and where and walks off as the crowd boos her.
Goldie interacts with the fans before leaving.
Our next match
begins with Ghee Buttersnaps and Ovaltine Jackson making their way out. The fans give them a nice pop. Next, the Freedom Fighters – Justice and
Flash – make their way out and the fans boo the crap out of them. They mostly ignore the fans and get in the ring. They take out their frustrations on their
challengers. It doesn’t last long as
Ghee and Ovaltine flex their muscles and take the match to the Fighters. During the match, Flash gets knocked from the
apron and is injured leaving Justice to fend for himself. At the 18 minute mark, Ghee smashes Justice
in the corner and then rolls him up getting the 1-2-3. Ghee and Ovaltine get the win. The fans pop as they have their arms raised
in victory. They leave. Eventually, the Fighters regroup and leave on
their own. (18 min)
We cut backstage
where we see J9 having attacked Goldie Locks.
J9 then drags Goldie to the ring by her hair. She rolls her into the ring and yells at the
timekeeper to ring the bell. Goldie begins
to battle back and much to J9’s surprise, she began taking the match to
her. Not wanting to deal with that, she
exited the ring and grabbed a steel chair and hit Goldie with it resulting in a
disqualification. J9 hits her a second
time with the chair before the ref wrestled it away from her. She stomped on her one final time for good
measure and left the ring. Goldie
recovered and left under her own power.
(7 ½ minutes)
Backstage, Jack
Lumber addresses Marvin Barnes: “You say
you have some bad news for me? Guess
what? I’m not subscribing to your ‘fake
news’. With the power of my
Lumbermaniacs in my corner, tonight, I prove to you, Maxine and the world why I’m
the only #1 contender for the World title.
I’ll see you in the ring.”
We head back to
the ring for our next match. “TIMMMMMMMMMMBER”
blares from the loudspeakers and out comes the flannel wearing lumberjack Jack
Lumber. The fans pop huge for him. As he makes his way to the ring, he sees the area
where his Lumbermaniacs would be sitting is restricted by caution tape. Jack is a little perplexed. He gets in the ring and the fans continue to
pop for him. His music is abruptly cut
off as Sassy Maxine DeVito comes out.
The fans boo her. She says that
she is only here to ensure the right person wins. She removes her jacket revealing a ref’s
outfit. Maxine is looking to stack the
deck against Jack to ensure he loses.
Maxine tells Jack that if he loses, he is OUT of the World title
hunt. “I’VE GOT SOME BAD NEWS FOR YA”
screams throughout the arena and ‘Bad News’ Marvin Barnes makes his way
out. The fans boo him and he flips them
off. He gets into the ring and Maxine
whispers something to him. He
laughs. Just before she can call for the
bell, new music plays and out comes Max McGillicutty. Max makes his way to the ring quickly and
says that he is managing Jack for this match tonight. Maxine looks put off but starts the match. Maxine, as expected, made very slow counts
when Jack went for a pin and very fast counts for Marvin. For 15 minutes, the match was practically
even with Max and Maxine effectively cancelling the other out. Barnes went for the Star Effect sitout side
slam but Jack managed to wriggle out of it and planted Marvin with a Yukon
bodyslam. He made the cover and Max got
in the ring and stood over Maxine to ensure she did a proper count. It was slow but she counted 1…2…3. Jack Lumber gets the win and is officially
the #1 contender for the World Title.
Jack celebrates as Maxine takes off in a huff. Jack shakes hands with Max and Max leaves
letting Jack celebrate with the fans until he departed. (16 min)
Catalina Harper is
backstage and she says that the world is out to screw her out of her
title. “This title is my life. It allows me to feed my litter of cats. No one is taking this title from me. Guaranteed.”
She walks off.
It’s time for our main
event. First, the challenger Lavender
Gooms comes out to a nice pop from the crowd.
She gets into the ring but the Ladies Champion’s music hits and out
comes Catalina Harper. She is wearing
her title over her shoulder. She
saunters down to the ring amid the booing from the fans. She gets in the ring and grabs a mic. She reminds us that between her two title
runs, she’s held the title for the majority of 2020. The fans boo.
She sneers at them and tells the ref to start the match. As expected, Catalina dominated the match and
probably had it go longer than it should but after playing around with her
opponent, she finally went for the pin after hitting a jaw jacker. She got the uncontested 1-2-3. Catalina wins the match and retains her
title. The show comes to an end with
Catalina standing tall in the ring holding the title high.
Thanks for
reading. Our special show – Saturday
Night Showdown – is up next. Stay Tuned.
