HCW Wrestling Newsletter 2024 #1023 – 7/27/24


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.
