HCW Wrestling Newsletter 2024 #1020 – 7/13/24


Hello fans and welcome back to another installment of the HCW Wrestling Newsletter.  We have a lot of great action tonight that will include two title matches and an appearance from the Ladies Champion.

 

The show begins with pyro going off and the fans in attendance popping huge for the show tonight.  Music hits and we hear “KORBI KONG SMASH” blast from the loudspeakers and the crowd explodes as the Ladies Champion Korbi Kong makes her way out.  She stands on the stage soaking in the applause from the fans.  She finally begins the trek to the ring shaking hands with fans and making a pit stop at her new fan club Clan Kong.  The fans here are extremely loud as their leader shakes hands with almost everyone there and then continues her trek to the ring.  Once in the ring, she gets on the mic.  She thanks the fans for attending tonight and backing her as she made her way back to the Ladies Champion.  She says she is addressing Luciana’s challenge.  The crowd boos as the mere mention of the former champion.  Korbi says that Luciana has to be given credit where credit is due.  She was a very dominant champion but her reign of terror is over and now, it’s the year of the Kong.  The crowd pops.  She says that she officially is accepting Luciana’s rematch challenge for the Saturday Night Showdown show in a week.  She promises to show the fans not only why she was able to defeat Luciana but will be THEIR champion.  They pop again.  Korbi climbs the corner turnbuckle holding her title high and then she leaves.  Upon heading behind the curtain, we are now ready for our matches to get underway.

 

Match #1:  The Freedom Fighters vs the Snake Pit

 

The Snake Pit (Leiton, Niven, and Tobias Snake) make their way out first.  The fans boo as the trio does a fist bump on the stage and Tobias and Niven head to the ring.  Leiton heads to the back.  Next, the Freedom Fighters (Flash and Justice) make their way out to a decent pop from the crowd.  Once the match began, both teams held the advantage for different portions of the match.  Once we got to the 23 minute mark, Tobias hits Flash with a Hook and Ladder facebuster and goes for the pin but Justice barely makes the save in time.  Tobias hits a running crossbody before tagging Niven in.  Flash nails a Reverse Spike Hurricanrana and hooks the leg for the 1-2-3 before Tobias even noticed what had happened.  The Freedom Fighters get the win and the fans pop for them.  The Snake Pit heads to the back.  The Freedom Fighters celebrate the win before heading back on their own.  (25 min)

 

Backstage, Owen ‘Orange Fury’ Zestwell is cutting a promo for him match against Evan Stockwell for the TV title.  He tells Evan not to underestimate the power of the Orange Fury Force.

 

Match #2:  Adam Jameson vs Negropolis

 

Negropolis makes his way out first to massive booing from the crowd.  He flips them off and continues on his way to the ring.  Adam Jameson makes his way out and receives a solid pop from the crowd.  He makes his way into the ring and is immediately attacked by Negropolis.  Adam immediately fought back and actually dominated the entire match.  At the 25 minute mark, Adam hits a gut buster but Negropolis hits a snap suplex.  He goes for the pin and puts his feet on the ropes but the ref sees it and stops counting at 2.  Negropolis complains to the ref.  He hits Adam with a Dragon suplex and then showboats.  He turns around only for Adam to connect with another gut buster and rolls Negropolis up for the 1-2-3.  Adam Jameson gets the win and the crowd pops for him.  He makes his way to the back.  Negropolis continues to argue with the ref but eventually leaves.  (27 min)

 

Backstage, TV Champion Evan Stockwell is with his manager Ruth Heartles and cuts a promo degrading Owen Zestwell as an old fogie who has no reason to be in a wrestling ring.  He then reminds us he single-handedly sent the Banker packing from HCW and the world is a better place for it.

 

Match #3:   The Wicked Prophet vs Outback Oscar

 

Outback Oscar came down first to a pop from the crowd.  When it was the Wicked Prophet’s turn, the crowd went negative on him.  The match was intense from start to finish with Prophet not realizing the challenge he was up against. Despite Outback Oscar's resilience and crowd support, The Wicked Prophet maintained control with several punishing moves. The Wicked Prophet repeatedly locked in the Crucifix Clutch, but Outback Oscar refused to submit each time. Outback Oscar fought back with moves like the Swinging Neckbreaker and Full Nelson Face Smash, keeping the audience on the edge of their seats. The Wicked Prophet's relentless attacks, including Prop 8 and Baptism of Fire, wore down his opponent. Even when Outback Oscar managed to kick out of multiple pin attempts, the heel continued his onslaught. Towards the end, The Wicked Prophet executed the Unrighteous Dominion, setting up for the final pin along with a fast count from the referee, "Fast Count" Frank. The match ended with The Wicked Prophet's victory, much to the dismay of the fans. Outback Oscar's valiant effort earned him admiration, but the night belonged to the devious Wicked Prophet.  (20 min)

 

We head backstage with the US Champion Dennis Marshall.  Dennis says he’s the #1 contender for the World Title and once he defeats Jack Lumber, he will be the first dual champion in years.

 

Match #4:   TV title match:  Evan Stockwell w/the Banker vs Owen ‘Orange Fury’ Zestwell.

 

Owen made his way out first to a solid pop from the home crowd.  Owen shook hands with the fans as he made his way to the ring.  He climbed in and after climbing the second turnbuckle, the fans began an “Orange Fury” chant which brought a smile to his face.  What didn’t was when his music was abruptly cut off and the TV Champion Evan Stockwell and his manager Ruth Heartless made their way out.  The fans booed heavily and the dastardly duo just soaked it in before beginning the trek to the ring.  Evan climbed in and held the TV title high as Ruth stood next to him holding the briefcase.   Evan looked at Owen and scoffed at him before shaking his head.  He handed the title to the ref and the match began but not before Evan demanded this be a no DQ match.  Owen quickly agreed and Ruth smiled her devious smile.

[Scene: The backstage area is buzzing with activity. The camera focuses on ‘The Commando’ Zack Brown, who is standing confidently, his eyes burning with determination. The interviewer approaches him.]

 

Interviewer: Zack, tonight you face the US Champion Dennis Marshall. He’s been vocal about looking past you and on to the World Champion Jack Lumber.  He said he would make you regret stepping into the ring with him. What’s your response to that?

 

Zack Brown: [Smirking] You know, Dennis Marshall has a big mouth, and he’s been running it non-stop. He thinks he can just walk over me, like I’m some kind of stepping stone on his path to glory. But let me tell you something, Dennis. You might be the US Champion, but tonight, you’re stepping into the ring with ‘The Commando.’

 

[Zack’s expression turns serious, his voice filled with intensity.]

 

Zack Brown: You see, Dennis, I’ve been through battles that would make most men crumble. I’ve faced opponents who underestimated me, just like you are right now. And every single time, I’ve come out on top. You think looking past me is a smart move? It’s the biggest mistake you’ll ever make.

 

[The camera cuts to Dennis Marshall, who is watching the promo on a monitor backstage. He scoffs and shakes his head, clearly unimpressed.]

 

Zack Brown: Tonight, when that bell rings, you’re going to realize that underestimating ‘The Commando’ was your first and last mistake. I’m not just here to compete; I’m here to win. And when I do, you’ll be the one regretting ever looking past me. So, Dennis, get ready, because tonight, you’re in for the fight of your life.

 

[The camera zooms in on Zack’s determined face as he walks away, ready for the match.]

[Scene fades out.]

 

Match #5:  The Main Event:  US Title Match:  Dennis Marshall vs Zack Brown.

Zack Brown gets the win via submission and becomes the NEW US CHAMPION!!!  The fans pop huge for him.  This was a very hard fought victory and he’s clearly exhausted.  The ref hands him the US Title and he holds it proudly high and the fans pop HUGE.  Just then, he is blindsided by the Rich Athlete who stomps and kicks the newly crowned Champion not giving him a chance to defend himself.  The Rich Athlete picks Zack up and nails him with the Fortune’s Fist before locking in the Luxurious Leglock.  Zack couldn’t get free even though the ref was trying to help.  The ref did get shoved down by Ruth Heartless who joined them in the ring.  The Rich Athlete finally let up and demanded a mic. 

 

The Rich Athlete grabs a mic and raises it to his lips, waiting for the boos to subside.]

 

The Rich Athlete: [Laughing] Oh, you all thought this was Zack Brown’s big moment, didn’t you? You thought this was his fairytale ending. Well, guess what? Fairytales don’t exist in my world!

 

[The boos grow louder, and The Rich Athlete revels in the heat.]

 

The Rich Athlete: Zack Brown, you might have fooled these idiots into thinking you’re a hero, but to me, you’re nothing but a stepping stone. You see, I don’t care about your hard-fought victory or your little moment of glory. You caused me to get my first loss in HCW and now all I care about is making sure everyone knows that The Rich Athlete is the true star of this show!

 

[He points down at Zack, who is struggling to get up.]

 

The Rich Athlete: Look at you, Zack. You’re lying there, clutching that title like it means something. But let me tell you, it means nothing when you’re up against me. I am the future of this business, and I will not be overshadowed by a nobody like you!

 

[The crowd’s boos are deafening, but The Rich Athlete continues, undeterred.]

 

The Rich Athlete: And as for you people, you can boo all you want. It doesn’t change the fact that I am better than each and every one of you. I have the money, the talent, and the looks. I am the total package, and there’s nothing any of you can do about it!

 

[He turns his attention back to Zack, who is now on his knees, still holding the title.]

 

The Rich Athlete: Zack, enjoy your little moment while it lasts, because I’m coming for that title. And when I do, there will be no fairytales, no happy endings. Just cold, hard reality. The reality that The Rich Athlete is the best there is, and there’s nothing you or anyone else can do to change that!

 

[He drops the mic with a smirk, and the camera captures the furious faces of the fans as the show fades to black.]


That was intense! How do you think Zack will respond to this brutal attack and harsh words from The Rich Athlete?  I guess you’ll have to stay tuned to find out.
