HCW Wrestling Newsletter 2024 #1022 – 7/20/24 – Saturday Night Showdown


Hello fans and welcome to another installment of the HCW Wrestling Newsletter.  Tonight, we are proud to bring you Saturday Night Showdown – a ‘supershow’ of sorts.  Tonight on the card, Mr. X and Biceps Bannerman will have a no DQ match; The Rich Athlete and Zack Brown each will recruit a tag team partner for a tag match; the Dynamic Duo faces off with the Fangs of Despair to see who becomes the #1 contender for the Tag Team Titles; Goldie Locks takes on Felicia cummings; Dominic Marconi faces off against Vinnie Albano; and lastly, Ladies Champion Korbi Kong takes on Luciana Albano as part of Luciana’s rematch clause.  The show will be a doozy so let’s get the party started.

 

Match #1:  Vinnie Albano w/ Pierre Boulay vs Dominic Marconi

 

‘The Italian Thoroughbred’ Dominic Marconi comes out first to a huge pop from the crowd.  He stops and shakes hands with the fans as he heads to the ring.  He enters and then climbs to the second turnbuckle and poses as the fans pop again.  He steps down and begins stretching to loosen up.  The music changes and the fans’ demeanor changes as ‘Vicious’ Vinnie Albano comes out with his manager Pierre Boulay who is carrying a portrait of Capt. Lou.   The fans boo them as they head to the ring.  Vinnie threatens to hit a couple of fans but Pierre stops him.  The enter the ring and Vinnie flips off Dominic before climbing the turnbuckle himself but the reaction he got was quite the opposite that Dominic got.  The bell rings and this one begins.

And just like that, this one is over!  Dominic wins in dominating fashion.  His celebration is cut short when Dick Albano jumps in from the crowd and he and Vinnie double team Dominic.  They drag him outside the ring and just as Dominic began to fight back, Pierre hits him with a chair and then the New Sicilians nailed a double powerbomb putting Dominic through a table.  The duo laughed and stood over the prone form of the Italian Thoroughbred before leaving in disgust.  Dominic eventually made it to his feet and made his way to the back to a nice pop from the crowd.  His feud with the Albano family is far from over.

 

Match #2:  Finals to name new #1 tag team contenders:  Dynamic Duo vs Fangs of Despair w/the Ambassador.

 

“VAMPIRE LUNGES FOR EVERYBODY” echoes from the loudspeakers as the Fangs of Despair – Dr. Red Fang and Nightfang – make their way out with their manager the Ambassador.  The trio are booed heavily as they make their way to the ring.  They instantly began mouthing off to the crowd when the music changed and out comes the Dynamic Duo – Mike Matthews and Chris Thompson.  The fans pop for the Dynamic Duo as they make their way out.  They shake hands with the fans and then enter the ring keeping a wary eye on the sneaky manager.  They don’t have to wait long for the bell to ring starting the match.

 

This match saw the Fangs of Despair dominate the match early thanks to the Ambassador’s involvement.  It wasn’t until 17 minutes in that the Dynamic Duo finally had enough of the Ambassador’s cheating and handcuffed him to the ringside barrier taking him out  of the match. With him out of the way, the DD was able to turn the tide.  We join the match now at the 22 minute mark.

Match #3:   No DQ match between Mr. X and Biceps Bannerman

 

This one has bad blood written all over it.  In their last encounter, Mr. X got fed up and walked out of their match at the 5 minute mark but then attacked Biceps backstage in two different encounters which leads us to this match.  Biceps doesn’t want Mr. X tucking tail and running away again so he asked for this stipulation but it seemed like it played right into Mr. X’s hands.  Biceps Bannerman comes out first to a solid pop from the crowd.  He high fives with the fans and makes his way into the ring.  His music abruptly changes and Mr. X comes out.  The fans boo the crap out of him.  He flips them off with a smile on his face.  He gets down to the ring and climbs the steel steps and enters the ring.  He begins mouthing off to Biceps and then attacks him from behind to start the match.

 

Mr. X started strong with a series of powerful moves, including a devastating barefoot kick that set the tone for the match. Biceps Bannerman fought back valiantly, executing impressive maneuvers like the throw out of the ring and the spinebuster, but Mr. X’s relentless offense kept him on the defensive.

 

As the match progressed, both wrestlers exchanged blows and near falls, with Mr. X attempting multiple pins. Biceps Bannerman showed incredible resilience, kicking out of several pin attempts and countering with his own high-impact moves. However, the turning point came when Mr. X discreetly put something on his foot before delivering another barefoot kick. This time, the kick knocked Biceps Bannerman out cold, allowing Mr. X to secure the pin and claim victory.

 

The crowd was left in shock as Mr. X celebrated his controversial win, leaving everyone wondering what exactly he had used to gain the upper hand. This match will undoubtedly be remembered for its intensity and the dramatic finish that saw Mr. X emerge victorious.

 

Mr. X gets the win and laughs his evil laugh since he could not get disqualified for using any foreign objects (which he says was only a foot stabilizer).  He made his way to the back laughing as medics had to come out and help Biceps to the back.  We’re sure this is not over…not by a long shot.

 

Match #4:  Goldie Locks vs Felicia Cummings. 

 

Felicia and her diabolical twin Betsy came out to massive booing from the crowd.  The mockingly blew kisses to the crowd which just infuriated them.  Betsy went to sit at commentary while Felicia entered the ring and kept mocking the crowd.  The fans pop as the music changed and out comes Goldie Locks.  Goldie makes her way out and the fans pop as she comes out from behind the curtain.  Felicia gives her nasty stares from the ring.  Goldie makes her way to the ring and then around ringside stopping at commentary.  She warns Betsy to stay out of her match.   She gets in the ring and the match is ready to begin.

 

Goldie Locks and Felicia Cummings clashed in a match filled with high-flying maneuvers and technical prowess. Goldie Locks started strong with a one-handed bulldog, setting the pace early on. Felicia Cummings fought back with a front facelock, but Goldie’s resilience shone through as she executed a double wrist clutch pin and a tilt-a-whirl headscissors.

 

Throughout the match, Felicia’s twin sister, Betsy Cummings, was seated at commentary, adding tension with her presence. Betsy attempted to interfere multiple times, but the referee managed to stop her each time, maintaining the integrity of the match. Despite these distractions, Goldie continued to dominate with moves like the lock breaker and the twin city twister surfboard.

 

As the match neared its climax, Goldie hurled Felicia out of the ring, nearly securing a count-out victory. Felicia’s attempts to regain control were thwarted by Goldie’s relentless offense. However, the turning point came when Betsy finally managed to get involved, jumping into the ring and attacking Goldie alongside Felicia. This blatant outside interference led to Felicia’s disqualification, awarding the victory to Goldie Locks.

 

Betsy and Felicia continued the beatdown on Goldie. 

 

[Luna Shadow storms into the ring with a chair, chasing Betsy and Felicia Cummings out. The crowd roars as she grabs a microphone and hands it to Goldie Locks.]

 

Goldie Locks: “Betsy, Felicia, you two think you can just interfere in my matches and get away with it? Well, guess what? You’ve messed with the wrong people! Luna and I are tired of your dirty tricks and cowardly tactics.”

 

[Luna Shadow takes the mic, her eyes blazing with determination.]

 

Luna Shadow: “That’s right, Goldie! You two have been a thorn in our side for too long. It’s time to settle this once and for all. Next show, we challenge you to a tag team match! Goldie Locks and Luna Shadow versus the Cummings Twins!”

 

[The crowd erupts in cheers as Betsy and Felicia, now at the entrance ramp, grab a microphone.]

 

Betsy Cummings: “You want a tag team match? You got it! But don’t think for a second that you’ll come out on top. We’re going to show you why we’re the most dominant force in HCW!”

 

Felicia Cummings: “Get ready, because next show, the Cummings Twins are going to teach you a lesson you’ll never forget!”

 

[Goldie and Luna stand tall in the ring, staring down the twins as the crowd chants their names, setting the stage for an epic showdown.]

 

We cut backstage where the New Sicilans have attacked and laid out the Dynamic Duo.  As they were walking off, Dick states “That’s how we do it…mafia style”.  Vinnie promises to mop the mat with them.

 

Match #5:   The Rich Athlete & Evan Stockwell vs Zack Brown and a mystery partner.

 

The US Champion Zack Brown comes out first to a huge pop from the crowd.  He stands on the stage.  He has a mic in hand.  He says that there is only one person in HCW who hates the Million Dollar Alliance more than him and it’s this man….out comes The Banker!   He gets on the mic and says that if the fans want to cheer or boo him, it doesn’t matter.  What does matter is that he inflicts as much damage as humanly possible on Evan Stockwell.  And if Ruth sticks her nose in where it doesn’t belong, he’ll rearrange it.  They head to the ring.  Once in the ring, the music changes and out comes Ruth Heartless.  She is not happy with the comments made by the Banker.  She introduces the Million Dollar Alliance and out comes former TV Champion Evan Stockwell and the Rich Athlete.  Evan promises he’ll deal with the Banker and then tells Owen not to f**k (censors blocked it) up his title.  The Rich Athlete promises that Zack will only know pain and suffering while he holds the US title.  He promises to be the man to help him with that burden.  They head to the ring and enter through the ropes.  Ruth hands the ref “Slow Count Sam” something before leaving the ring.  The bell rings starting this one off.

 

The match started with the Rich Athlete delivering a powerful shin breaker, but the Banker quickly countered with his signature Interest Rate Inverted Facelock. The action intensified as Evan Stockwell tagged in and executed a series of moves, including a slam into the turnbuckle and a “Bull” Press.

 

Throughout the match, Ruth Heartless, the Alliance’s manager, played a crucial role. She provided strategic advice and even smacked the Banker with his own briefcase, giving her team an edge. Despite this, Zack Brown and the Banker fought valiantly, with Zack executing a K-9 Clutch and a Paratrooper Plunge, while the Banker landed several high-impact moves like the Repossession Rib-Buster.  The Rich Athlete snuck out of the ring pulling Zack off the apron and slamming his head into the steel post busting him open and taking him out of the match.  He hurried back to his corner.

 

The match reached its climax when Ruth Heartless pointed out a weakness in the Banker, allowing Evan Stockwell to capitalize. In a controversial finish, Stockwell pinned the Banker with his feet on the ropes and grabbing the tights, securing the victory for the Million Dollar Alliance.

 

The Million Dollar Alliance gets the win and the fans are not happy about it.  They voice their displeasure loudly.  Ruth laughs as they make their way to the back.  They may have stolen a win here but this is far from over.

 

[Backstage, the camera focuses on Luciana Albano and her manager Pierre Boulay. Luciana looks determined, while Pierre has a confident smirk on his face.]

 

Luciana Albano: “Tonight, at Saturday Night Showdown, I reclaim what is rightfully mine. Korbi Kong, you may have taken the Ladies title from me, but that was a fluke. I am the true champion, and tonight, I will prove it.”

 

Pierre Boulay: “Korbi, you have no idea what you’re in for. Luciana is more focused and dangerous than ever. This rematch will be the end of your fairytale reign. Prepare to be dethroned by the most dominant force in HCW.”

 

[The camera then shifts to Korbi Kong, who is standing confidently with the Ladies title over her shoulder. She exudes strength and determination.]

 

Korbi Kong: “Luciana, you wanted a rematch? Tonight, you got it. But let me make one thing clear: I didn’t win this title by accident. I earned it, and I will defend it with everything I’ve got. You and Pierre can bring all the tricks you want, but it won’t change the outcome.”

 

[Korbi pauses, looking directly into the camera.]

 

Korbi Kong: “Tonight, I fight for every fan who believes in me. I fight for the honor of this title. Luciana, you better be ready, because I’m not just defending a championship—I’m defending my legacy.”

 

[The camera fades out as both teams prepare for their highly anticipated rematch, the tension palpable in the air.]

 

Match #6:  The Main Event:  Ladies Title match:  Korbi Kong © vs Luciana Albano w/ Pierre Boulay in a rematch for the title

 

Luciana comes out first to the loudest booing from the crowd this evening.  Luciana and Pierre head to the ring and purpously stop at the Clan Kong fan section and she snatches a few ‘Korbi Rules’ signs and shreds them before throwing the contents back at them.  She and Pierre continue to the ring and enter through the ropes.  Luciana is booed heavily as she stand tall in the center of the ring.  Next, we hear “KORBI KONG SMASH” and the fans explode with cheers as the Ladies Champion makes her way out.  She stands on the stage and then heads right to Clan Kong.  She grabs a few of the shredded pieces of paper and signs them for the fans whose signs these were.  She heads to the ring and cautiously enters.  She climbs the second turnbuckle and holds her title high.  She points to the crowd and then to her title and herself.  She steps down and hands the title to the ref.  She has a look of detmerination on her face and Luciana is like an angry green giant.

With that, the show comes to an end but we know as we head towards our next PPV Reign of Champions, there is still a lot that can happen so stay tuned.
