HCW Wrestling Newsletter 2024 #983 – 2/10/24


Hello fans and welcome back to another installment of the HCW Wrestling Newsletter.  We have a lot going on today so we’re going to get right to the point.

 

Hayley Hailstorm was severely injured in last week’s match.  She let Max know she will be back next week by any means necessary.

 

The World Tag Team Champions – The New Sicilians – Dick and Vinnie Albano – will be in tag team action today but the titles won’t be on the line.  The newest member of the HCW roster – Julius Squeezer -  will be in action against Negropolis.  The Banker, without Ruth Heartless for the first time, will be in action in a special challenge match in a top 10 lineup.

 

The show begins as The Banker’s music hits and he makes his way out.  The fans boo but he smriks and makes his way to the ring.

 

[The camera transitions to the center of the wrestling ring where a spotlight shines on The Banker, standing tall with a confident grin on his face. The audience erupts with boos as he raises the microphone to address the crowd.]

 

The Banker: Ladies and gentlemen, do you feel that? The winds of change are blowing, and the tides are turning in the world of professional wrestling. Now, I know you all have been accustomed to seeing me with a certain someone by my side – someone who used to manage my affairs both in and out of the ring.

 

[He pauses, a self-assured smirk on his face.]

 

But let me make one thing crystal clear – The Banker no longer needs Ruth Heartless. Oh no, my friends, I have outgrown the need for a manager. Ruth may have thought she could control the financial empire that is The Banker, but I am beyond such management now.

 

[The crowd buzzes with anticipation as The Banker paces back and forth, exuding an air of newfound independence.]

 

The Banker: Ruth Heartless had her time with me, and while she may have served her purpose at one point, I've decided it's time to cut ties and ascend to even greater heights. I am no one's puppet, and I damn sure won't be held back by anyone's ambitions other than my own.

 

[The crowd reacts with jeers, acknowledging The Banker's bold statement.]

 

The Banker: Ruth, you see, was merely a stepping stone in the path of my financial conquest. Now, I stand before you, liberated and ready for new challenges. The Financial Maverick? Ha! Evan Stockwell, you may have Ruth by your side, but know this – I am the architect of my own destiny.

 

[The Banker smirks confidently, the arena echoing with a chorus of boos.]

 

The Banker: So, to Ruth Heartless, I say, thank you for your services, but your management is no longer required. The Banker stands alone, ready to face any challenge, conquer any opponent, and leave a trail of financial ruin in my wake. The era of The Banker has just begun, and I assure you all, it will be one for the history books!

Match #2:  JR Fargo and Alejandro Guerrero vs Col Flagg and Jake Montrose

 

Col. Flagg and ‘the Bounty Hunter’ Jake Montrose come out to boos from the crowd.  Flagg gets on the mic and continues to run down Alejandro Guerrero constantly referring him to “Junior Jalapeno”.  The fans are not taking the disrespect too well.  The music changes and out comes ‘The Magnificent One’ Juan Raul Fargo and Alejandro Guerrero who get a loud pop from the crowd.  The match was pretty close early on before JR and Lee took over and began dominating.   Around the 17 minute mark, Flagg and Montrose began double teaming Fargo not allowing him to make the tag.  At the end of the 20st minute of the match, Fargo makes the hot tag to Lee.  We join the match at that point.

Alejandro and JR get the win and the fans pop.  Montrose and Flagg hit the ring again and attack the winners.  Montrose and JR brawl on the outside of the ring.  Flagg takes Lee down with stiff steel chair shots calling him a ‘Spiceless Sensation’.  Just then, Dominic Marconi comes out with his own steel chair in hand and begins clearing Montrose and Flagg away from his tag team partners.  Once driven from the ring, Dominic checks on his teammates.  A bit battered and bruised, Lee says that this is not over between him and the Colonel.  He vows to finish this next week challenging Flagg to a Steel Cage match.

 

Match #3:  Negropolis vs newcomer Julius Squeezer.

 

The next match is ready to get underway.  The newest addition to the HCW roster – Julius Squeezer comes out first to a decent pop from the crowd.  He shakes hands with the fans and makes his way to the ring.  He’s barely there before the ominous music begins and out comes Negropolis.  The fans do not like him and they let him know it.  Negropolis severely underestimated his opponent and Squeezer took advantage of it.  At the 14 minute mark, Negropolis managed to hit a snap suplex and as he went for a pin, he saw Duke Knight making his way down and immediate got up and began jaw jacking with Duke.  Negropolis turned back to hit Julius with the Black Doom and turned his attention back to Duke.  Julius caught his second win and dropped Negropolis with a Steiner Line.  He immediately locked him in a Steiner Recliner and Negropolis grabbed for the rope but Duke pulled it away from him.  Julius had it locked in and Negropolis tapped out. 

 

Julius Squeezer gets the win in his debut match by submission in 16 minutes.  Duke turns to leave.  Negropolis had rolled out of the ring and then ambushed Duke as he made his way to the back.  Both men fought up the ramp and to the back.   This feud is only getting started.

 

Backstage, Col Flagg laughs saying that Guerrero played right into his trap.  Of course he will accept the match and promises to deport Guerrero once and for all.

 

Match #4:  New Sicilians w/Pierre Boulay vs Duke Knight and Biceps Bannerman in a non-title match. 

 

Next up, the Tag Team champs see action but in a non-title capacity.  Adam Jameson and Billy Robbins come out first to a nice pop from the crowd.  Next, the champs, led by their manager Pierre Boulay, make their way out next.

Duke Knight and Biceps Bannerman get the win but as this was not a title match, they don’t win the belts however they are now in contention for them.  Duke and Biceps left and just as the New Sicilians were getting ready to leave, they receive a visit from the 5th Column (Baron von Blood and Oswald Zimmerman).  Baron says that the New Sicilians are in a weakened state which means they are now challenging the champs for a title match.  They want the match next week.  Pierre confers with Vinnie and Dick and they accept.  Baron and Oswald leave laughing but I think Pierre and the New Sicilians have a trick or two up their sleeves.

 

Match #5:  Hardcore title match: Tommy Sullivan vs OP Cunningham. 

 

Otis Peabody Cunningham comes out first to a nice pop for our main event match.  He makes his way to the ring shaking hands with the fans.  The music turns dark and the lights dim as the Hardcore Champion Tommy ‘the Morningstar’ Sullivan makes his way out.  He stands on the stage holding his title high.  As a reminder, all hardcore title matches are no DQ and no count out so the champ can’t skate on a technicality.  Tommy gets on the mic and says the rules for this match will be “Fight Pit” rules.  OP looks a little concerned.  The Morningstar smirks and the match begins.

I am sure this is not going to sit well with the Morningstar so I expect fallout to be eminent.  Stay Tuned.
