HCW Wrestling Newsletter 2023 #969 – 11/26/23


Hello fans and welcome back to another installment of the HCW Wrestling newsletter.  Our show begins with updates on Violet Valkyrie and the Ladies Champion Korbi Kong.  Korbi has some bumps and bruises but says she will be 100% for her match against Luciana.  Violet though suffered some serious injuries and she will be in the hospital for some time.  We hope Violet gets better soon.

 

We then introduce another new member to the HCW roster  - ‘The Magnificent One’ Juan Raul (JR) Fargo – he will debut next week. 

 

Match #1:  The Conquistadors vs Redbeard/Ferguson

 

Maximillian Redbeard and Superquake Ferguson come out first to a nice pop from the crowd.  Once in the ring, the music changed and out comes the Conquistadors – Toro and Zapato.  The Conquistadors get a mixed reaction from the crowd.  They enter the ring and extend their hands to their challengers.  All four men shake hands and then the match begins.   The Conquistadors start off trying to double team Redbeard but he nullified their attempts. A couple of minutes later, The Conquistadors got some double teaming action against Redbeard but after hitting the Knoggin Stomp and a pin attempt, he made the tag to Ferguson.  Ferguson stood on the neck of Zapato after he tried an eye rake.  Ferguson and his hefty 450 pound frame, made the cover and got the 1-2-3.  Redbeard and Ferguson get the win.  All four members left without any further interaction.

 

‘The Italian Thoroughbred’ Dominic Marconi was backstage and he addressed the comments that Dirty Dick Albano made against him. 

 

[The backstage area is alive with energy, and Dominic Marconi, The Italian Thoroughbred, is ready for an interview. Larry Morton, the seasoned interviewer, steps up with a microphone in hand.]

 

Larry Morton: Dominic, tonight you meet Otto Ruthless but coming sooner rather than later, you will step into the ring against "Dirty" Dick Albano. Before you make your way out there, give us your thoughts on what this match against the Albano Family means for the Marconi legacy.

 

Dominic Marconi: [Smiles at Larry] Larry, tonight is more than just a match; it's a statement. The Marconi legacy is about honor, pride, and a commitment to excellence. Facing Dirty Dick Albano is an opportunity to showcase that legacy to the world once again.

 

[Larry nods, encouraging Marconi to continue.]

 

Larry Morton: The Albano family has a storied history as well. How do you plan on handling the challenges that come with facing a member of that renowned wrestling family?

 

Dominic Marconi: [Pauses thoughtfully] Larry, the Albano name may carry weight, but I've faced challenges before. The Marconi name is built on resilience, skill, and heart. Tonight, you will see those qualities into the ring.  I'm ready to prove that the Italian Thoroughbred is a force to be reckoned with.

 

[Larry leans in, focused on Marconi.]

 

Larry Morton: And if you have a message for Dirty Dick Albano, what would that be?

 

Dominic Marconi: [Grins] Dirty Dick, listen up. It's not just about two wrestlers clashing in the ring; it's about legacies colliding. The Marconi legacy will shine brighter, and I'm here to ensure that. Get ready for a fight you won't soon forget.

 

[Larry nods in agreement, acknowledging Marconi's determination.]

 

Larry Morton: Strong words, Dominic. We'll be watching closely. Best of luck out in your match tonight.

Casper Wyoming: [Nods in agreement] Snake Pit, you may think your venomous ways will poison our chances, but let me remind you – we are the champions for a reason. We've faced challenges before, and tonight won't be any different. The belts around our waists are a testament to our strength and determination.

 

Dennis Marshall: [Cracks his knuckles] Snake Pit, you may be evil, but you're stepping into the ring with a united front. Phantom Frank, Casper Wyoming, and I are not just partners; we're brothers. And tonight, we're ready to defend our titles with everything we've got.

 

[The champions exchange determined glances, a shared understanding of the task at hand.]

 

Phantom Frank: Snake Pit, you've tried to inject fear into the hearts of the locker room, but we're not afraid. We've faced ghosts, demons, and everything in between. Tonight, we face you, and we'll prove that the light always conquers the darkness.

 

Casper Wyoming: [Raises his title high] Snake Pit, tonight won't be a walk in the park for you. We're not just champions; we're the guardians of this ring, and we won't let you tarnish the legacy we've built.

[The champions share a collective nod, their focus unwavering as they prepare to defend their titles in the main event. The camera fades out, leaving the anticipation high for the clash between the two teams.]

 

 

Match #3:  Madman Mason vs Adam Jameson

 

In a thrilling 26-minute showdown, the intense battle between the face, Adam Jameson, and the heel, Madman Mason, unfolded in a dramatic fashion. Both competitors demonstrated their resilience and skill, exchanging powerful maneuvers and trying to outsmart each other throughout the match.

 

As the minutes ticked by, the two warriors showcased their unique styles and executed various high-impact moves, accumulating points and keeping the audience on the edge of their seats. Madman Mason's brutal Spinebuster Slams and Psychotic Break were met with Adam Jameson's agile Backflip Kicks, Gut Busters, and a well-timed Springboard Face Smash.

 

In the 26th minute, the decisive moment arrived. Adam Jameson, seizing an opportunity, executed a devastating Gut Buster on Madman Mason, earning a whopping 10 points. As Madman Mason struggled to recover, Adam Jameson capitalized on his weakened state and went for the pin. The referee counted to three, declaring Adam Jameson the winner of the match.

 

In the end, Adam Jameson's strategic use of the Gut Buster secured his victory, and he celebrated in the ring, triumphant in his quest for glory over the fierce and resilient Madman Mason. The crowd erupted in cheers, recognizing the face's determination and skill as he claimed the hard-fought victory.

 

After the match, Mason, who did not appreciate the loss, attacked Adam and beat him down.  He dragged him out of the ring and hurled him into the steel steps.   Mason nailed Adam with a powerbomb on the floor before hitting the Psychotic Break on the Spanish Announce Table destroying it.  Mason grabs a mic and demands a rematch at the PPV.  He throws down the mic and leaves.  Medics come out to check on Adam.  He appears beat up but he will be ok.  Adam tells the ring announcer that he accepts Mason’s challenge at the PPV.

 

We head backstage for another interview.

 

Larry Morton: Ladies and gentlemen, I'm here with the dynamic duo, the faces of justice, Justice, and Flash, the Freedom Fighters. Now, you've been making names for yourselves in the tag team division, and there are talks of a future title match against the reigning champions, 'Dirty' Dick Albano and 'Vicious' Vinnie Albano, the New Sicilians. What are your thoughts on this potential matchup?

 

Justice: [Confidently] Larry, we've been training hard, fighting for justice in and out of the ring. The New Sicilians may think they're untouchable, but we're here to prove that the power of justice prevails.

 

Flash: [Nods] That's right. The Freedom Fighters stand for something greater than ourselves, and we're ready to bring the fight to the New Sicilians.

 

[Larry Morton nods, acknowledging their determination.]

 

Larry Morton: Now, the New Sicilians are known for their ruthless tactics. How do you plan on countering their underhanded strategies in the ring?

 

Justice: [Smirks] Larry, the New Sicilians may play dirty, but we've faced adversity before. We'll be ready for anything they throw at us. In the end, justice will prevail, and the Freedom Fighters will become the new champions.

 

Flash: [Adds with determination] We'll use our speed, agility, and the power of justice to overcome any obstacle they put in our way.

 

[Larry Morton wraps up the interview, wishing the Freedom Fighters luck. As Justice and Flash start to leave the backstage area, the atmosphere takes a sudden turn. The New Sicilians, Dirty Dick Albano and Vicious Vinnie Albano, storm into the frame, attacking the Freedom Fighters from behind.]

 

[The attack is fierce, with the New Sicilians using every dirty tactic in the book. The Freedom Fighters fight back, but the numbers game becomes overwhelming. After a brutal beatdown, Dirty Dick Albano grabs the microphone from Larry Morton, who looks on in shock.]

 

Dirty Dick Albano: [Laughs maliciously] Justice, Flash, you think you can take our titles? You're nothing but a couple of goody-two-shoes trying to play heroes. Well, heroes get crushed, and justice? It's just a word.

 

[Vicious Vinnie Albano smirks in the background as Dirty Dick continues.]

 

Dirty Dick Albano: And as for you, Dominic Marconi, The Italian Thoroughbred, you better watch your back. The New Sicilians are taking over, and there's no room for your kind in our world.

 

[The New Sicilians leave the beaten and battered Freedom Fighters behind as the camera fades out, setting the stage for a heated and personal rivalry in the days to come.]

 

Match #4:  Dominic Marconi vs Otto Ruthless

 

Just as the match began, the New Sicilians came out and sat on stage watching the match.  This of course put Dominic on the defensive and he struggled with fighting Otto and trying to keep an eye on the Albano Family.  Dominic would not give up and stayed in the fight against Otto.  We join the match at the 26 minute mark.

HCW Wrestling Newsletter 2023 #968 – 11/25 – Saturday Night Showdown


Hello fans and welcome to another installment of the HCW Wrestling Newsletter.  Tonight, members of the Albano family will be in action with Luciana making her in-ring debut.  Tonight, she takes on someone she tried injure – Violet Valkyrie.  She attacked Violet on a couple of occasions and now Violet wants to exact some revenge.  We will also be introducing a new face to HCW.  He is actually up right now.

 

[The arena is buzzing with anticipation as the lights dim, and a folksy tune reminiscent of a small-town gathering begins to play. A spotlight shines on the entrance ramp as Otis Peabody Cunningham, affectionately known as OP, steps into the limelight, wearing classic overalls and sporting a warm smile.]

 

OP: "Well, howdy there, ladies and gents! OP’s in the house, and let me tell ya, it's a real pleasure to be standin' here in the heart of this incredible squared circle! Now, some folks might wonder what a simple guy like me is doin' in the wild world of wrestling, and I'm here to tell ya, I'm just a regular fella lookin' to spread a little joy."

 

[The crowd erupts with cheers as OP waves and tips his hat to the fans.]

 

OP: "You see, in my neck of the woods, we believe in kindness, respect, and treatin' others the way you wanna be treated. And that's exactly what I aim to bring right here, to this ring. I'm here for each and every one of ya, the young'uns, the old-timers, and everyone in between!"

 

[OP pauses, looking around the arena with a twinkle in his eye.]

 

OP: "Now, don't you worry none about fancy moves or big egos with me. I'm just a good ol' boy who loves to have a good time and share a smile or two. I'm here to make friends, spread some laughter, and, well, maybe toss a few folks over that there top rope if need be!"

 

[The crowd laughs and cheers, fully embracing the charm of OP’s down-home demeanor.]

 

OP: "So, whether you're sittin' at home or right here in the crowd, remember that OP’s got your back. We're gonna have a rootin' tootin' good time together, and I can't wait to share the joy of wrestling with each and every one of ya! Y'all ready for some fun?"

 

[The crowd roars with approval as OP raises his arms in excitement, basking in the warmth of the fans' adoration. His entrance signals the beginning of a new chapter, where the spirit of the down-home hero, Otis Peabody Cunningham, brings a touch of simplicity and joy to the world of professional wrestling.]

 

OP stays in the ring and awaits his opponent.

 

Match #1:  OP Cunningham vs Baron von Blood

 

Baron von Blood enters the ring and begins to take verbal cheap shots at OP.  OP just stands there and smiles which makes Baron irate.  Baron immediately attacks OP with a flurry of flying fists.  OP locks him in a bearhug only to set him down and drop him with a huge clothesline.  Baron tries for a stomach claw but it has little effect.  OP hits a falling powerslam and makes the cover for a 2 count.  OP scoop slams Baron.  Baron tries to exit the ring but OP shoulder blocks him off the apron.  Baron hits the floor but is back in the ring by the count of 3.  OP slams him to the mat again and then locks in a bearhug.  He really is targeting Baron’s back.  Baron hits a low blow but it barely fazes the big man.  OP nails not one but two running big splashes and that was it for the Baron.  A 3 count later and the Otis Peabody Cunningham gets his first win.  The fans cheer him.  He leaves the ring shaking hands with them as he heads to the back.  Baron von Blood had to be peeled up from the mat.  (10 min)

 

Backstage, Pierre Boulay meets with Wilber Townsend.  Something fishy is going on here.

 

Match #2:  Apollo Gyze & the Wicked Prophet vs Biceps Bannerman and ???

 

First, the team of the Wicked Prophet and Apollo Gyze come out after the annoying “APOLLO GYZE DON’T APOLOGIZE” blares out of the loudspeakers.  The nefarious duo head to the ring.  Shortly thereafter, Biceps Bannerman comes out to a nice pop from the crowd.  He introduces his surprise partner – World Champion Starbuck Steel.  The two meet on the stage as the fans pop hits deafening levels.  They head to the ring.

 

Clash of the Titans

 

The arena was electric with anticipation as the wrestling faithful eagerly awaited the clash between good and evil. In one corner, the nefarious duo of Apollo Gyze, the unapologetic villain, and the Wicked Prophet, a sinister force draped in mystery. In the other corner stood the powerhouse Biceps Bannerman, a mountain of muscle that struck fear into any opponent, and the reigning World Champion, the resilient Starbuck Steel.

 

As the bell rang, chaos erupted in the ring. The heels, Apollo Gyze and the Wicked Prophet, wasted no time employing their bag of dirty tricks. Low blows, eye pokes, and illegal tags became their modus operandi. The referee, struggling to maintain control, warned the heels but to no avail.

 

Apollo Gyze, a master manipulator, taunted the audience with a sly grin. He spat in the face of sportsmanship, using every opportunity to bend the rules. On the opposite end, Biceps Bannerman, fueled by the crowd's energy, stood as a beacon of justice. His thunderous power slams and bone-crushing suplexes showcased his dominance.

 

Meanwhile, the Wicked Prophet relied on mystifying mind games. He toyed with Starbuck Steel's psyche, unsettling the champion with cryptic gestures. The Prophet's presence cast a shadow over the contest.

 

The match reached its halfway point, the animosity between the two teams intensified. Biceps Bannerman, fed up with the underhanded tactics, unleashed a flurry of fists on Apollo Gyze, sending him sprawling to the outside. Starbuck Steel, with fire in his eyes, took on the Wicked Prophet, determined to expose the villain's wicked ways.

 

As the clock ticked down, chaos reigned supreme. Apollo Gyze, seeking revenge, re-entered the ring with a steel chair in hand. Biceps Bannerman intercepted him, and the two engaged in a chair-wielding duel, crashing and clanging to the roar of the crowd. Meanwhile, the Wicked Prophet and Starbuck Steel continued their fierce battle, both men pushing the boundaries of fair play.

 

The referee, unable to restore order, threw the match into disarray. With chairs scattered in the ring and the combatants locked in a chaotic struggle, he had no choice but to declare a double disqualification. The crowd erupted in a mix of cheers and boos as security rushed to the ring to separate the warring factions.

 

Though the match had no clear winner, the intensity and unpredictability of the clash left an indelible mark on the minds of the fans. The bitter rivalry between Apollo Gyze, the Wicked Prophet, Biceps Bannerman, and Starbuck Steel promised that the war was far from over, and the battleground of the squared circle would witness more epic clashes between good and evil in the future.

 

GM Max McGillicutty comes out and says that this is not over.  He says that in some way, shape or form, there will be a specialty match put into place for both the confrontations between Apollo/Biceps and Starbuck/Prophet.

 

Match #3:  Six Man Tag Team Qualifier match: The Albano Family vs the Muscles Trio

 

Next on the card is a qualifying match for the Six Man Tag Team Championship.  First out are the Muscles Trio – Thorpe, McGuire and Weasley.  They goof around as they head to the ring and then do some moves that the crowd cheers along to.  Their music is abruptly shut off and Pierre Boulay comes out and introduces this audience (and those watching from home) to the Albano Family – Aldo and Carlo Albano with their “enforcer”, the very stiff Rigg A Mortis.  They are heavily booed as they make their way to the ring.  The no-nonsense heels immediately go on the offensive but the experience of the Muscles Trio takes over.  Aldo was taken out during the middle of the match which infuriated Carlo, Rigg and Pierre.  The heat got turned up and things started to go the way of the Albano Family.  Eventually Aldo rejoined his team and once he got tagged in, he let the Trio have it.  After tagging in Rigg, Aldo and Carlo took out Thorpe and Weasley.  McGuire hit Rigg with a Boom Drop Jumping Double leg but Rigg just no-sold it, grabbed McGuire and hurled him out of the ring.  Rigg followed him out of the ring and smashed him into the steel post.  He rolled back in just before the 10 count and once the ref counted to 10, he counted McGuire out and awarded the match to the Albano Family.  (28 ½ min).  Pierre joined Aldo, Carlo and Rigg in the ring and raised their arms in victory.  Pierre gets on the mic and says beating the Muscles makes them the #1 contenders for the Six Man titles.  They are officially cashing in at the PPV. 

 

The family heads to the back but Pierre stays on the stage.  He introduces Luciana Albano and the powerhouse comes out.  DAMN, she is massive.  The fans boo as they head to the ring.  Once there, Luciana takes the mic and calls out Violet Valkyrie.  She knows Violet has been trying to get her in the ring but here she is and she is waiting.  The music hits and out comes Violet.  The fans explode for the fan favorite.  Violet does not rush to the ring. She methodically walks down keeping an eye on Luciana and her weasel of a manager Pierre.  She gets in the ring and has a mic.  She tells Luciana she cost her and now Violet is here to collect.  Luciana tells her to ‘bring it’. 

 

Match #4:  Luciana Albano vs Violet Valkyrie. 

 

The arena pulsed with anticipation as two fierce competitors, Violet Valkyrie and Luciana Albano, clashed in the squared circle. The air was charged with excitement as the bell rang, signaling the beginning of what promised to be a thrilling bout.

 

In the opening moments, both women jockeyed for control, each executing powerful moves to gain an early advantage. Violet Valkyrie, the fan favorite, struck first with a precision JUMPING KNEE SMASH.   Luciana Albano, however, retaliated with a thunderous Full Nelson Slam setting the tone for a back-and-forth battle.

 

As the match progressed, Violet attempted to rally, but Luciana's Belly to Back Pendulum Facebuster proved effective. The crowd's cheers for Violet echoed through the arena, urging her to press on.  As the match approached its midpoint, Violet's RUNNING CLOTHESLINE met resistance from Luciana, who neutralized the attack.  The momentum shifted with each passing minute, keeping the crowd on the edge of their seats.

 

A RUNNING ONE-HANDED BULLDOG from Violet looked like it was going to help.  The tension escalated when Violet unleashed a powerful RUNNING CLOTHESLINE, but the weasel-like manager, Pierre Boulay, intervened with a HOLD FOE FOR ATTACK.  Violet found herself on the defensive, setting the stage for a critical turning point.  Luciana executed a Sole Food. Violet attempted to defend but Luciana's offensive prowess remained evident. The crowd's energy intensified as Violet found herself on the defensive.

 

The eighth minute witnessed a strategic move by Pierre Boulay, who slipped a foreign object to his protégé, Luciana. The underhanded tactic allowed Luciana inflict more damage, while Violet, despite her defensive effort, absorbed the punishment. Pierre’s interference further benefitted Luciana’s offensive onslaught.

 

As we entered the final minute of the match, Luciana delivered a punishing Vertical Suplex and seizing the opportunity, attempted a pin. The referee's count reached three, signaling the end of the match.

 

Luciana Albano emerged victorious with a Vertical Suplex pin over Violet Valkyrie. The audience, a mix of disappointed and awe-struck, watched as Luciana celebrated her hard-fought triumph. However, the conclusion of the match marked the beginning of a new chapter, as Luciana's victory celebration took a dark turn with her weasel manager, Pierre Boulay, revealing a sinister plan to inflict further harm on the fallen Violet Valkyrie.

 

Pierre entered the ring with a smug grin on his face. He handed Luciana a microphone as the crowd's cheers turned to jeers.  "Violet Valkyrie, you thought you could stand against the might of Luciana Albano, but you were wrong. Dead wrong!" Luciana taunted, her voice echoing through the arena.  As Luciana continued to boast about her victory, Violet slowly began to stir on the mat. The fans in the arena, still firmly behind their fallen hero, started chanting Violet's name in a show of support.

 

But Luciana and Pierre had no intention of letting Violet leave unscathed. Luciana signaled to Pierre, and he slid a steel chair into the ring. Luciana grabbed the chair, a sinister smile on her face as she approached the dazed Violet.

 

Before Luciana could deliver a crushing blow, the arena lights flickered, and a hush fell over the audience. Suddenly, the lights went out, and a chilling music filled the air. The Omegatron displayed a mysterious message: "It’s SMASHING TIME."

 

As the lights returned, a hooded figure stood in the ring, kendo stick in hand. The crowd erupted in cheers as the figure attacked Luciana and Pierre, driving them out of the ring. The hooded savior then approached Violet, helping her to her feet.

 

The hooded figure revealed herself to be Ladies Champion Korbi Kong, Violet's longtime friend and ally. The crowd's cheers reached a deafening roar as Korbi stood tall alongside Violet, staring down Luciana and Pierre, who stewed with frustration etched on their faces.

 

However, the celebration was short-lived. As Violet and Korbi embraced, Luciana seized the opportunity for a final act of vengeance. With a steel chair in hand, Luciana blindsided Violet, delivering a brutal blow to her already weakened body.  She dropped Korbi with a chair shot to the stomach and hurled her out of the ring.  She continued smashing Violet with the chair (we counted at least 15 chair shots). The crowd gasped as Violet lay crumpled to the mat, writhing in pain. Korbi rushed to her friend's side, but Luciana and Pierre escaped through the crowd, leaving chaos in their wake.

 

The medics rushed to tend to Violet, and it was clear that Luciana's post-match attack had taken a toll. The fans, once filled with cheers, were now outraged by the underhanded tactics of Luciana Albano and questioned Violet’s future.

 

As Violet was carefully placed on a stretcher and taken to the back, Korbi Kong stared down the ramp with a burning determination. The story of the rivalry had taken a dark turn, and the war between Violet Valkyrie and Luciana Albano was far from over and now Korbi wants revenge.

 

Match #5:  US Title Match:  Jack Lumber vs Oswald Zimmerman

 

5th Column member Oswald Zimmerman comes out to booing from the crowd.  He flips them off and makes his way to the ring.  Once there, the music quickly changes and we hear “TIMMMBERRRR” and out comes everyone’s favorite flannel wearing lumberjack Jack Lumber.  The pop from the crowd is deafening.  Jack stops by the Lumber Lounge and then makes his way to the ring.  The US Champion holds the title high as the crowd cheers him on.  He hands the title to the ref and then is attacked by Oswald, starting off this match.

 

The match was surprisingly even for the majority of the show.  Both men hit their finishers but each kicked out with time to spare.  We join the match at the 20 minute mark.
