HCW Wrestling Newsletter 2024 #1025 – Supershow (Orlando) – 8/10/24


Hello wrestling fans and welcome to another installment of the HCW Wrestling Newsletter.  We are on the road today visiting sunny Orlando, FL for today’s Supershow event.  The TV title and the World Tag Team Titles will be on the line tonight along with some qualifiers that will help us determine who will be wrestling for the belts at the Reign of Champions PPV (or PLEE (Premium Live Extraordinary Event) if you prefer that term.)  There is a lot happening tonight so let’s get right to the action.

 

 

Match #1:  Goldie Locks vs the Cummings Twins in a handicap match. 

 

The Cummings Twins, Betsy and Felicia, come out first to massive booing from the crowd.  They blow mocking kisses to the fans and continue to the ring.  After they had their chance to get the crowd riled up, the music changed and comes Goldie Locks accompanied by Luna Shadow.  Luna is not part of the match tonight as this was set up as a handicap match against Goldie.  If Goldie can score a win against the diabolical twins, Luna gets her shot tomorrow and if she is successful, they will get the twins in a STEEL CAGE at the go-home show.  Goldie enters the ring keeping an eye on the twins.  The bell rings but Luna jumps up on the apron.  She calls Goldie over and then SLAPS her across the face right in front of the ref.  WHAT THE HELL?  The ref then immediately calls for the bell signifying a DQ against…the TWINS!  Goldie jumps out of the ring and she and Luna have a hearty laugh as they put one over on their opponents.  With Goldie’s win (even if it’s a DQ win), Luna gets her shot.  The Twins are pissed that they got outsmarted and they promise it won’t happen again.  The twins eventually left the ring.  (30 seconds)

 

 

Match #2:  Wilber Townsend vs Julius Squeezer

 

Julius Squeezer comes out first to a huge pop from the crowd.  He makes his way down and into the ring.  A moment later, the music changes but the lights remained.  Wilber Townsend comes out and stops by the Lumber Lounge looking for the World Champion.  He threatens a few of the Loungers asking for their leader and then LEAPS over the barrier and shoves people and chairs around looking for Jack who is nowhere to be found.  He leaps back over the barrier and heads to the ring.  I am not sure this writer has ever seen Wilber be this put off by mind games.  Normally, he is the master but now, he’s missing a beat.  Wilber gets into the ring and the match begins.  Wilber dominated the match hitting the Go To Sleep at the 3 minute mark but he pulled Julius up at the 2 count.  A couple of minutes later, he hits the GTS again and pulls Julius up.  He is clearly sending a message to Jack.  At the 9 minute mark, Wilber hits the GTS for a third time and Julius is practically out on his feet.  He locks in a rear chinlock and then converts it into an easy 1-2-3 at the 10 minute mark.  Wilber gets on the mic and tells Jack that he is coming for him AND the title.  He throws down the mic and walks away.  Julius makes it to his feet and heads to the back under his own power.

 

 

Match #3:  Duke Knight vs Negropolis for the next shot at the Hardcore Title

 

Negropolis makes his way out first to heavy booing from the crowd.  He flips them off uncaring if it’s directed at kids or adults (what a royal @$$).  He gets into the ring and the ref announces that this match will determine who gets the next title shot at the Hardcore title.  The music changes and Duke Knight is introduced to a huge pop from the crowd.  He makes his way down to the ring and shakes hands with the fans at ringside.  He gets into the ring.  Negropolis immediately attacks him starting this one off.  These two have no love loss for each other. 

 

The match between Duke Knight and Negropolis was intense from the very start, with Negropolis launching a surprise attack on Duke before the bell even rang. Despite the early setback, Duke Knight fought back valiantly, executing powerful moves like the Neckbreaker and Hangman DDT. Negropolis, however, was relentless, delivering devastating attacks such as the Black Doom and Thrust Kick. The match saw both wrestlers exchanging high-impact maneuvers, with Duke Knight showcasing his resilience by kicking out of multiple pin attempts. The crowd was on the edge of their seats as Duke Knight narrowly escaped being counted out twice after being thrown out of the ring by Negropolis. In the end, Duke Knight’s determination paid off as he executed a Flying Fivearm, securing the pinfall victory over Negropolis.

 

With this win, Duke Knight has earned himself a title match at the PPV against current Hardcore Champion ‘the Alaskan Wildman’ Jax Brenner.  Duke celebrates with the fans as Negropolis kept complaining of his tights being pulled.  He stares daggers at Duke as he leaves the ring.  I have a sneaky suspicion that this is not over between the two.  (18 min)

 

Alejandro Guerrero and ‘The Magnificent One’ Juan Raul (JR) Fargo Backstage Promo

[Camera fades in to Alejandro Guerrero and JR Fargo standing in front of the HCW backdrop, their HCW 6 Man Tag Team Championship belts draped over their shoulders.]

Alejandro Guerrero: Tonight, we stand here not just as champions, but as warriors ready to conquer new heights. The New Sicilians may think they have the upper hand with their dirty tactics and underhanded manager, Pierre Boulay, but they haven’t faced a team like us. JR and I, along with Dominic Marconi, have proven time and again that we are the best in this business.

JR Fargo: That’s right, Alejandro! The New Sicilians might be holding those World Tag Team titles, but tonight, we’re bringing the fight to them. Dirty Dick Albano and Vicious Vinnie Albano, you better be ready because we’re not just coming for those belts, we’re coming to show the world what true champions look like. Pierre Boulay, you can try all the tricks in the book, but nothing will stop us from walking out with those titles around our waists.

Alejandro Guerrero: Tonight, the HCW universe will witness the rise of new World Tag Team Champions. The Magnificent One and I are ready to make history. New Sicilians, prepare yourselves, because the era of Guerrero and Fargo is about to begin!

[Camera fades out as Alejandro and JR raise their 6 Man championship belts high.]

 

Match #4:  Evan Stockwell vs Dominic Marconi

 

‘The Italian Thoroughbred’ Dominic Marconi makes his way out first to a solid pop from the crowd.  He shakes hands with the fans and heads into the ring.  He does some light stretches as he awaits his opponent.  The music then changed and out comes Evan Stockwell and his manager Ruth Heartless.  The duo are booed heavily as they make their way to the ring.  They enter the ring with briefcase in hand and are ready for action. Ruth takes the briefcase and makes her way out of the ring. 

 

The match between Dominic Marconi and Evan Stockwell, with his manager Ruth Heartless, was a thrilling encounter. From the outset, Stockwell took control with a powerful Dividend Dropkick, putting Marconi on the defensive. Ruth Heartless played her part, executing a sneaky eye gouge that further weakened Marconi. Despite the early setbacks, Marconi fought back with determination, delivering a series of powerful moves like the Head First Body Slam and Power Forearms. Stockwell, however, continued to press his advantage with moves like the Liquidation Leg Sweep and Hostile Takeover. The match saw both competitors exchanging high-impact maneuvers, with Marconi showcasing his resilience by kicking out of multiple pin attempts.

With Marconi on the outside of the ring and the ref counting, he didn’t see the Banker sneak in from the crowd and BLASTS Evan with the briefcase.  Evan is stunned but not down.  The Banker then delivers a Deposit Diving DDT right on the briefcase and exiting the ring just before Dominic rolled back in beating the 10 count.  Dominic shook off the cobwebs and picked up Evan locking him in a backbreaker.  Evan, unconscious, had his arm raised once (if fell), a second time (it fell) and a third time (it fell).  The ref then calls the match in favor of Dominic Marconi via submission.  The fans pop as Dominic has his arm raised and he leaves to head to the back.  Ruth is in the ring and tries to revive Evan who eventually comes around.  She tells him what happened and Evan gets up like nothing was wrong and storms (and stumbles) to the back.

 

The New Sicilians Backstage Promo

[Camera fades in to Dirty Dick Albano, Vicious Vinnie Albano, and Pierre Boulay standing in a dimly lit room, the World Tag Team titles gleaming under the light.]

Pierre Boulay: Ladies and gentlemen, tonight is a night of reckoning. Alejandro Guerrero and JR Fargo think they can waltz in and take what belongs to the New Sicilians? They are sorely mistaken. My boys, Dirty Dick and Vicious Vinnie, have been dominating this division, and tonight will be no different.

Dirty Dick Albano: Guerrero, Fargo, you two are nothing but pretenders. You may have those 6 Man Tag Team titles, but the World Tag Team titles are a whole different ball game. We’re the kings of this division, and tonight, we’re going to show you why.

Vicious Vinnie Albano: That’s right, Dick! Guerrero and Fargo, you better be ready for a fight because we’re not just going to beat you, we’re going to humiliate you. Pierre has a few tricks up his sleeve, and there’s no way you’re walking out with our titles.

Pierre Boulay: Tonight, the New Sicilians will prove once again why we are the most dominant force in HCW. Guerrero, Fargo, prepare to be outclassed, outmatched, and outwrestled. The New Sicilians reign supreme, and there’s nothing you can do about it.

[Camera fades out as the New Sicilians smirk confidently, holding their titles high.]

 

Match #5:  TV Title Match:  Owen Zestwell vs Apollo Gyze. 

 

The loudspeakers echo with “APOLLO GYZE DON’T APOLOGIZE” and out comes Apollo to the loudest displeasure from the crowd we’ve heard all night.  He sneers at the fans and makes his way to the ring.  He motions that he will be taking the TV title and walking out the champion which incites the fans all the more.  They pop as the TV Champion Owen ‘Orange Fury’ Zestwell makes his way out.  He holds his title and then shakes his finger at Apollo signifying there was no chance in hell he is taking THIS title.  Owen makes it to the ring and enters.  The match begins as soon as Owen handed the title to the ref.  Apollo got in some cheap shots early on but the champ fought back.  After hurling Owen to the outside, we see Alejandro Guerrero come out and he’s limping.  He stops and asks a fan to borrow their cane.  He begins his walk to the ring limping and Apollo is there laughing hysterically.  Alejandro makes it to the ring and as Apollo leans over to disparage him, Alejandro WHACKS Apollo with the cane breaking it.  Apollo falls out of the ring.  Alejandro drops the pieces and disappears into the crowd.  Owen makes it back in before the 10 count.  The ref sees Apollo on the outside and begins counting.  He reaches 10 and then awards the match to Owen via countout.  Owen takes his title, holds it high for the fans, and then heads to the back.  He looks down at Apollo, tries to stifle a laugh and leaves.  Apollo eventually makes it to his feet and he heads to the back.  (5 min)

 

Backstage, Dominic Marconi is attacked by two unknown assailants backstage and locked in a dressing room before having the door barricaded.  It does not appear he will be able to help his team.

 

 

Match #6:  The Main Event:  World Tag Team Title match vs JR Fargo and Alejandro Guerrero

 

JR and Alejandro come out first to a massive pop from the crowd.  They do not know what just transpired backstage or who is responsible.  Once in the ring, the music changed and the World Tag Team Champions  - the New Sicilians with their manager Pierre Boulay – made their way out to massive booing from the crowd.  It doesn’t seem that they were behind the attack on Dominic so if it wasn’t them, who was it?   Dick and Vinnie got in the ring and held their titles high as Pierre pointed to his Champions.  The belts were handed off to the ref and the match began.

The show comes to an end with the Night Stalkers, the Fangs of Despair and Count Vlad all standing in the middle of the ring hovering over JR and Alejandro. 

 

Count Vlad’s new stable rivals any ‘bloodline’ and will prove to be a threat moving forward.  Stay tuned to see what happens next in Miami.
