Hello wrestling fans and welcome back to another installment of the HCW Wrestling Newsletter. On the show tonight, Luna and Goldie team up to take on the Cummings twins. The Orange Fusion Force will be in action also. In our main event, the Tag Team Champions, the New Sicilians, take on the Dynamic Duo with the titles on the line. All this and more will be on tonight’s show so let’s get this party started.
Pyro goes off
starting off the event. GM Max
McGillicutty comes out to a nice welcome from the crowd. Max says he has some news to share and wants
the fans to hear it first. HCW will be
stretching its wings and will be hitting the road once again for two remote
shows that will take place in Orlando, FL and one in Miami. The fans pop huge at the announcement. Max continues by adding in that for the month
of August, all champions will be required to defend their titles twice…once
during the month and once again at the Reign of Champions PPV on 8/30. He ends with there is a lot to get to tonight
so he’s going to head to the back so the show can officially begin.
Backstage, the OFF
(Orange Fusion Force) combo of TV Champion Owen Zestwell and Julius Squeezer
are being interviewed for their match before their match tonight against the
Flaggship (Col. Flagg and Rex Rampage).
Owen comments that Evan Stockwell was running his mouth the other day
and tells him to mind his own business before he starts involving himself in
others.
Match #1: Apollo
Gyze vs OP Cunningham.
Otis Peabody
Cunningham comes out first to a huge pop from the crowd. The fans cheer him on as he makes his way to
the ring. As he is making his way around
the ring interacting with the fans, his music is shut off and replaced with
“APOLLO GYZE DON’T APOLOGIZE” and the annoying one makes his way to massive
booing from the crowd. HA! Get this…he is wearing a combination of red
and yellow making up two pretty famous comic characters who just had their
movie released this week. This irritated
the fans even more and they got louder as he passed by on his way to the
ring. He stopped in front of one fan who
held a sign that read “Apollo is my dad…or is it Virgil?” and he snatched it and
tore it all up and threw it back at the fan.
He made his way into the ring where OP was waiting. After a lot of hemming and hawing, finally,
the match began.
The match was
pretty even until the 12 minute mark and OP began dominating. Apollo would not have any of that and he hit
a low blow on OP before hitting a Spin Out Powerbomb and makes the cover. He hooked the tights as the ref’s hand hit
the mat for the 1-2-3. Apollo gets the
win and the fans are vocal in a very negative way. Apollo gets on the mic and tells the fans to
shut their faces while he talks. The
crowd screams over him and he can’t seem to get a word in. Just then, Alejandro comes out and stands on
stage. He sees Apolo getting frustrated
and begins laughing at Apollo. Apollo
throws down the mic and storms to the back.
By the time he got to the stage, Guerrero was already gone.
Backstage, Tommy
‘the Morningstar’ Sullivan is being interviewed and he says that he’s been a
bit of a slump as of late but he promises he’s going back after the Hardcore
title. He tells Jax to get the belt
ready for him.
Match #2: The
Orange Fusion Force (Owen Zestwell & Julius Squeezer) vs the Flaggship (Col
Flagg & Rex Rampage).
The Flaggship come
out first to booing from the crowd.
Flagg flips off the crowd as usual and marches down with his enforcer
Rex Rampage at his side. They get into
the ring and get mouthy with the fans until the music changed and out comes the
Orange Fusion Force. The TV Champion
Owen Zestwell and Julius Squeezer get a solid pop from the crowd as they make
their way to the ring. Before they can
enter, the Flaggship attack them beating them down before the bell even
rang. Owen and Julius are thrown into
the ring and the bell finally sounds starting this one off. Julius received more of the beatdown so Owen
said he’d start off until Julius felt ok.
For 2 minutes, Owen was on the receiving end but then shook it off and
battled back against Flagg. ‘The Bounty
Hunter’ Jake Montrose came out and distracted Rex first by ramming him into the
steel post and then dumping him into the audience before jumping the barrier
and taking off himself. Owen and Julius
got a double team in but at the 6 minute mark, Owen hits the Jersey Driver and
makes the cover securing the 1-2-3. The
Orange Fusion Force gets the win and the fans pop. Owen gets on the mic and says he enjoys being
in a tag team and also enjoys representing as the TV Champion. He says that Evan Stockwell has been speaking
out the other side of his ass and really should mind what is going on with the
Banker before he starts something with him (Owen). The OFF then leave and head to the back. Flagg finds and helps Rex to the back.
Backstage, Luna
Shadow and Goldie Locks say they are ready for their match against the Cummings
twins. Luna says they agreed to the no
DQ match to prevent the twin cowards from intentionally getting disqualified or
running away with their tails tucked between their legs. Goldie adds that since they like to do the
double switcheroo, they have something special planned. They then walk off camera.
Match #3: Tommy
Sullivan vs Freedom Fighter Justice
Freedom Fighter
Justice comes out first to a pop from the crowd. He makes his way to the ring and starts to
get the crowd psyched up. Next, the
Morningstar makes his way out and the fans boo.
The Ambassador accompanies him.
They make their way to the ring and Tommy enters. Tommy starts off with a Figure Four
Armbar. He neutralizes a leg grapevine
from Justice. Tommy drags Justice out of
the ring and piledrives him on the floor.
He rolled back in but the ref spent more time chastising Tommy for this
so when he started to count, Justice was up and back in by the count of 4. Justice locks in an armbar. Tommy drags him to the ropes to break the
hold and the Ambassador jumps up on the apron and goes to hit Justice but he
moves and the Ambassador hits the ref who immediately disqualifies Tommy. Justice gets the DQ win in 5 minutes after
executing ONE offensive move. Tommy,
frustrated, leaves. The Ambassador
follows.
Backstage, the
Dynamic Duo are being interviewed. They
say they have earned this spot and will bring an end to the New Sicilians and
win the Tag Team titles for the fans
Match #4: Luna
Shadow and Goldie Locks vs the Cummings twins – No DQ
Betsy and Felicia,
the twins, make their way out first to booing from the hometown crowd. They look on the fans with disdain and head
to the ring. They enter through the
ropes and continue to taunt the fans.
The music changed and the fans pop as Luna Shadow and Goldie Locks come
out…but they look different. Luna and
Goldie have changed their looks to make them look like twins which puts the
real twins off their game. They smile as
they make their way down. The match
begins quickly with Goldie and Luna controlling the pace early by keeping the
twins off their game but as time went on, the twins found their groove and
began taking the match back to their challengers. At the 17 minute mark, the twins double
teamed Luna after they knocked Goldie from the apron to the floor but as she
went down, she hit the steel steps getting injured. Luna gets hit by a neckbreaker and then Betsy
does a rolling leglock and with a hook of the tights, she gets the 1-2-3. The fans are not happy. Betsy and Felicia mock the fans by cheering
for themselves. Goldie gets back in the
ring with a steel chair and chases the twins from the ring. Luna makes it to her feet and says that there
is only ONE way to bring this feud to an end.
Before she can say what it is, Felicia gets on the mic cutting her
off. “Hold on, hold on. I know where you’re going but look at the
stats first. We both beat you two in
singles action and now, we defeated you in tag team action. Why should we want to consider anything
further?” Before Goldie speaks, she
whispers something to Luna who nods in agreement. “We’ll make this interesting for you. Each of us will take you both on in
individual handicap matches. If we each
win our handicap match, we get the match we want.” Betsy smirks “So you want to take us on in 2
on 1 matches AND if you win, we do this specialty match? YOUR ON!”
Luna takes the mic. “Just so you
know, once we get our wins, we will see you again….inside a STEEL CAGE!” The fans pop as the twins’ smirks turn into
scowls and back up the ramp. Luna and
Goldie whisper something to each other and then they leave the ring.
[Backstage,
the camera focuses on the New Sicilians, ‘Dirty’ Dick Albano and ‘Vicious’
Vinnie Albano, standing confidently with their HCW World Tag Team Championship
belts over their shoulders. Their manager, Pierre Boulay, stands between them,
a smug look on his face.]
Pierre
Boulay: “Ladies
and gentlemen, feast your eyes on the most dominant tag team in HCW history—the
New Sicilians! Tonight, these champions defend their titles against the
so-called Dynamic Duo. Chris ‘Thunderstrike’ Thompson and Mike ‘the Rebel’
Matthews, you boys are in way over your heads.”
‘Dirty’ Dick
Albano: “Thunderstrike,
Rebel, you think you can step into our ring and take these titles from us?
Think again. We’ve crushed every team that’s come our way, and tonight will be
no different.”
‘Vicious’
Vinnie Albano: “That’s right, Dick. You two
are just another set of victims for the Albano Family. We’re not just
champions; we’re the best this business has to offer. And with Pierre by our
side, there’s no stopping us.”
Pierre
Boulay: “The Dynamic Duo may have their flashy
moves and their fan support, but they lack the one thing that makes us
unbeatable—ruthlessness. We play by our own rules, and tonight, we’ll show the
world why the New Sicilians are the undisputed champions.”
[The camera
zooms in on the New Sicilians, their faces full of confidence and
determination.]
‘Dirty’ Dick
Albano: “Thunderstrike,
Rebel, get ready for the fight of your lives. When we’re done with you, you’ll
wish you never stepped foot in our ring.”
‘Vicious’
Vinnie Albano: “Tonight,
the New Sicilians reign supreme. And there’s nothing you can do about it.”
Pierre
Boulay: “Prepare to be outclassed, outmatched,
and outdone. The New Sicilians are here to stay, and there’s no force in HCW
that can change that.”
[The promo
ends with the New Sicilians and Pierre Boulay walking off, ready to defend
their titles and prove their dominance once again.]
Match #5: The
Main Event: For the World Tag Team
Titles: The New Sicilians w/ Pierre
Boulay vs the Dynamic Duo.
The match begins
with the Dynamic Duo – Mike Matthews and Chris Thompson – making their way out
to a huge pop from the crowd. They interact with the fans as they make their
way to the ring. Once in the ring, they
continue to get the crowd excited for the match. It all goes south when the Tag Team Champions
– the New Sicilians – Dick and Vinnie Albano – make their way out with their
manager Pierre Boulay. Pierre is
carrying a portrait of Capt. Lou who is pointing – signifying he is there for
his family. They make their way to the
ring and the booing just intensifies. Dick
and Vinnie have choice words for the fans and make their way into the ring.
They each climb a corner turnbuckle holding their title high and the fans get
even louder. They step down and hand the
belts to the ref who holds them out and then hands them to the ring attendant.
Pierre takes Lou’s portrait and exits the ring.
The bell rings and this one begins.
The match began with intense energy
as Thunderstrike and Rebel showcased their high-flying and hard-hitting moves,
putting the champions on the defensive. However, the New Sicilians, with their
cunning tactics and ruthless aggression, quickly turned the tide. Vinnie took out Chris by attacking him with a
chair and DDT-ing him on the floor taking him out of the match.
Pierre Boulay, the Sicilians’
manager, played a crucial role, distracting the referee at key moments to give
his team the upper hand. Despite the underhanded tactics, the Dynamic Duo
fought valiantly, thrilling the crowd with their resilience and teamwork. The
Rebel’s electrifying moves and
rebellious spirit kept the audience on the edge of their seats.
The turning point came when the New
Sicilians managed to isolate Mike Matthews. In a brutal double-team maneuver,
they sent him crashing into the steel steps outside the ring, effectively ending
his offense. With Thunderstrike still incapacitated, the Sicilians focused their
assault on Rebel. Despite his best efforts, Rebel couldn’t overcome the two-on-one
disadvantage and finally succumbed to a Superkick from Vinnie and got pinned.
The New Sicilians
get the win and although the match was over, Dick and Vinnie kept up the assault
on Matthews until Steel Justice – Kellyn Chrisari and Alex Justice came out and
chased the champs out of the ring. The
champs cursed at the interference and yelled that they would make them pay for
sticking their noses into their business.
Mike and Chris shook the hands of Steel Justice and the show came to an
end with all four men celebrating with the fans.
Lots more to come
so stay tuned.
