Hello wrestling fans and welcome to another installment of the HCW Wrestling Newsletter. As we been seeing over the last couple of shows, Count Vlad has been solidifying talent for his new faction the Dark Dominion. Getting that many vicious people under one roof can’t be a good thing for the rest of the roster. Let’s get to the action.
Match #1: Azrael
w/the Ambassador vs Outback Oscar
Outback Oscar makes his way out first to a nice pop
from the crowd. He makes his way to the
ring high fiving with the fans and enters the ring. He waits for his opponent but doesn’t wait
long. Azrael comes out with his manager
the Ambassador to booing from the crowd.
They make their way to the ring as a chorus of booing follows them to
the ring. Azrael climbs in and the bell
rings starting this one off.
The action kicked off with Azrael
applying a side headlock, but Outback Oscar quickly countered with a swinging
neckbreaker. Azrael’s leg drop was met with a strong defense from Oscar, who managed
to score despite the attack. Both wrestlers traded high-impact moves, with
Azrael executing a slingshot suplex and Oscar responding with an Australian leg
sweep.
As the match progressed, Outback
Oscar threw Azrael out of the ring, but Azrael made it back just in time to
avoid a count-out. The intensity continued with both men executing powerful
moves, including Azrael’s spear and Oscar’s full nelson face smash. Despite The
Ambassador’s interference, Outback Oscar maintained his momentum, even attacking
The Ambassador to neutralize his influence for several rounds.
In the final moments, Outback
Oscar’s relentless offense, including multiple swinging neckbreakers and knee
drops, proved too much for Azrael. The match culminated with Outback Oscar executing
a spinning elbow drop, securing the pinfall victory over Azrael. The crowd
erupted in cheers as Outback Oscar celebrated his hard-fought win.
Oscar celebrates with the fans as a disappointed
Azrael heads to the back. The
Ambassador surprisingly was no help to him even though he interfered once.

Segment
[The camera
cuts to the backstage area where Count Vlad is seen conversing with Selena
Blackfang and Beastfang. Suddenly, Tommy ‘the Morningstar’ Sullivan approaches
with a determined look on his face.]
Tommy
Sullivan: Count Vlad, I’ve been watching
closely, and I must say, I like what I’ve seen with the Fangs of Despair and
the Night Stalkers. I want in. I want you to manage me moving forward.
[Count Vlad
raises an eyebrow, a sly smile forming on his lips.]
Count Vlad: Tommy, your ambition is commendable. I see a fierceness in
you. Let me talk to the Ambassador tonight and see if we can get this sorted
out.
Tommy
Sullivan: Thank you Count. I look forward to hearing the outcome.
The Morningstar
walks away and as we cut back to the Count, the sly smile returns.
Match #2: Steel
Justice vs the Dynamic Duo to see who gets the next Tag Team title shot at the
PPV
Tonight, we will
see who is going to the PPV to challenge the New Sicilians for the titles. First, before either team comes out, the New
Sicilians – Dick and Vinnie Albano – make their way out to sit at
ringside. The crowd boos them harshly
as they take their place at commentary.
The Dynamic Duo – Mike Matthews and Chris Thompson – come out first to a
solid pop from the crowd. Steel Justice
gets a similar reaction and head to the ring with their manager the Shadow
Master. Chris stops them before they get
in the ring and ask if they can keep the match as civil as possible and ask if
their manager not be involved. Steel
Justice confer with their manager and the Shadow Master agrees to head to the
back. All 4 men get into the ring and
the bell rings starting the action.
The match between Steel Justice and
the Dynamic Duo was a showcase of athleticism and teamwork, with both teams
earning the respect of the crowd. The New Sicilians, the reigning world tag
team champions and notorious heels, provided their own brand of commentary
throughout the bout.
The action began with Kellyn ‘The
Raven Archer’ Chrisari applying a Raven’s Claw Neck Pinch on Chris
“Thunderstrike” Thompson.
Commentator 1 exclaimed, “What a
start by Chrisari!”
Commentator 2 added, “Thompson is in
trouble early on.”
The Dynamic Duo struggled to counter
the relentless double-teaming from Steel Justice, who executed a series of
high-flying and powerful moves, including the Arrow Storm Kick and Justice Dive
to the outside. Dirty Dick Albano sneered, “These guys think they can match us?
Pathetic.”
Chris “Thunderstrike” Thompson
managed to tag in Mike ‘The Rebel’ Matthews, who brought a fresh burst of
energy with an elbow smash and shoulder breaker.
Commentator 1 noted, “Matthews is
turning the tide!” but Vicious Vinnie Albano scoffed, “Please, this is nothing
compared to what we do.”
Despite the Dynamic Duo’s efforts,
Steel Justice continued to dominate with their signature moves. Alex ‘Skyhawk’
Justice’s Skyhawk Soar Moonsault and Wings Embrace Flying Crossbody had the
crowd on their feet.
Commentator 2 remarked, “Justice is
flying high tonight!” only for Dirty Dick Albano to retort, “Enjoy it while it
lasts, because they’ll never touch our titles.”
In the final moments, Alex ‘Skyhawk’
Justice executed a Heavenly Hammer DDT on Chris “Thunderstrike” Thompson,
securing the pinfall victory.
Commentator 1 cheered, “What a
finish by Steel Justice!” but Vicious Vinnie Albano dismissed it, saying,
“Lucky break. They wouldn’t last five minutes with us.”
The match ended with mutual respect
between the teams, setting the stage for potential future encounters, while the
New Sicilians continued to boast about their superiority.
Both teams glared
at the Albanos until they left and then celebrated with the fans once again
shaking hands before they all headed to the back.
Match #3:
Luciana Albano vs Leslie Grimes
Leslie
Grimes made her way out first to a nice pop from the crowd. Once her opponent Luciana Albano came out
with her manager Pierre Boulay, they turned sour. Luciana glared at the fans and sneered as she
made her way into the ring.
In a
high-stakes HCW Wrestling match, Leslie Grimes faced off against Luciana
Albano, who was accompanied by her scheming manager, Pierre Boulay. The match
began with Luciana gaining an early advantage through a Vertical Suplex and a
Full Nelson Slam, quickly building a lead. Leslie fought back with a Diving
Crossbody and a Lou Thesz Press, managing to narrow the gap. As the match
progressed, both competitors exchanged powerful moves, including a Hair Mare
from Leslie and a Nightmare Lock Inverted Cloverleaf from Luciana, which Leslie
managed to endure despite intense pain.
In the
later stages, Luciana's underhanded tactics, aided by Pierre Boulay's
interference, played a crucial role. Luciana's attacks, including a Riptide
Pumphandle Bomb and a Belly to Back Pendulum Facebuster, kept Leslie on the
defensive. Despite Leslie's valiant efforts and some dramatic moments,
including a successful Roll-Up and Moonsault, Luciana's persistent aggression
and a decisive chair shot from Pierre Boulay ultimately led to her pinning
Leslie for the win just before the bell rang ending this 30 minute bout.
Luciana Albano emerged victorious, having outlasted Leslie Grimes through a mix
of brute strength and devious tactics.
Luciana
gets the win as the fans boo her loudly.
She tells Pierre to get a mic and she exclaims that she will once again get
the Ladies title when she defeats Korbi Kong.
She reminds us that she has a Money in the Bank contract that she can
cash in whenever she wants. Luciana and
Pierre then leave.
[The scene transitions to later in the evening. Count
Vlad is seen in a heated discussion with the Ambassador in a dimly lit office
of GM Max McGillicutty. The tension is palpable as the negotiations continue.]
Count Vlad: Ambassador,
let’s cut to the chase. I want The Morningstar in the Dark Dominion. I have
given you a very fair value to make it worth your time.
Ambassador: Count Vlad,
you drive a hard bargain, but I can’t deny the lucrative compensation you’re
offering. Fine, you can have Tommy’s contract.
[The Ambassador signs the contract, and Count Vlad hands
over a briefcase filled with cash. The Ambassador smirks, satisfied with the
deal.]
Ambassador: Well, Vlad, it’s been a pleasure doing business with you. But now, I’m
taking my paychecks and heading to other pastures. HCW is no longer my concern.
I’ve built my empire here, and now it’s time to expand my horizons. The
wrestling world is vast, and there are new opportunities waiting for me. I’ve
done all I can in HCW, and it’s time for fresh challenges and new conquests. To
all the naysayers, I leave you with this: the Ambassador’s legacy will be
remembered. Farewell, HCW. It’s been a
wild ride, but my ambitions lie beyond these walls.
[As the Ambassador turns to leave, Azrael steps into the
frame, a look of confusion on his face.]
Azrael: Ambassador, what
does this mean for me?
[The Ambassador shrugs nonchalantly.]
Ambassador: I don’t
care… do what you want.
[With that, the Ambassador walks off, leaving Azrael
standing there, stunned. Count Vlad approaches Azrael, placing a hand on his
shoulder.]
Count Vlad: Azrael, it
seems you are now free to make your own choices. The Dark Dominion always has
room for those who seek power and dominance. Think about it.
[The camera fades out as Count Vlad walks away, leaving
Azrael deep in thought.]
Match #4: The Rich Athlete vs Adam Jameson
In an intense wrestling showdown,
Adam Jameson clashed with the Rich Athlete, who was flanked by his shrewd
manager, Ruth Heartless. The match started with the Rich Athlete delivering a
Shin Breaker, putting him ahead early. Adam Jameson fought back with a powerful
Gut Buster, showcasing his resilience. As the match progressed, both
competitors exchanged a series of impactful moves, with the Rich Athlete
executing a Million Dollar Kneedrop and a Seven-Figure Suplex, while Adam Jameson
responded with a Spin Kick and a Reverse STF.
Despite Adam's determined efforts,
including neutralizing some of the Rich Athlete's moves and escaping pin
attempts, Ruth Heartless's interference added to the Rich Athlete's advantage.
The turning point came when the Rich Athlete delivered a final Seven-Figure
Suplex, leading to a decisive pin. Despite a valiant effort from Adam Jameson,
he was ultimately pinned by the Rich Athlete, who claimed victory with a
combination of skill and managerial tactics.
At the end of the
match, the Rich Athlete got on the mic and started badmouthing the US Champion
Zack Brown which led to him coming out to the ring. The Commando got in the ring and the two
began jaw jacking until punches started getting thrown. Security rushed out to break it up. GM Max McGillicutty came out and said that
these two men were officially being added to the PPV event. Zack and the Rich Athlete got what they
wanted and continued to jaw jack until the Rich Athlete left with Ruth and Zack
eventually followed.
Backstage, Duke
Knight says he’s earned the opportunity to face the Hardcore Champion Jax
Brenner. He looks forward to taking on
the Alaskan Wildman.
Match #5: The
Main Event: Six Man Tag Team Title
Match. Dominic Marconi, Alejandro
Guerrero and JR Fargo vs Jesse California, TNT and Otto Ruthless.
The heels came out
first to massive booing from the crowd.
They had words with the fans as they made their way to the ring. Once they had their time, the champs make
their way out to the loudest pop of the night.
‘The Italian Thoroughbred’ Dominic Marconi, Alejandro Guerrero, and ‘the
Magnificent One’ Juan Raul Fargo stand on the stage holding their titles high
as the fans get louder and louder. The
trio make their way to the ring and enter through the ropes. Each man went to a corner turnbuckle and held
their title high. They step down and
hand the belts to the ref . Before the
match can actually begin, the Fangs of Despair come in from the crowd and take
Alejandro into the crowd and out of this match.
The ref has no idea what happened but JR said they will continue.
The match began with Dominic Marconi
and JR Fargo double-teaming Jesse California, delivering a powerful forearm and
a double elbow smash. Despite his efforts, Jesse California couldn’t fend off
the attack.
Marconi continued his dominance with
a hip roll, but Jesse California managed to land a standing dropkick before
tagging in Otto Ruthless. Otto came in strong with a short clothesline, but
Marconi absorbed the blow and retaliated with a front face lock. Otto countered
with his signature Ruthless Aggression and tagged in TNT.
Marconi hit TNT with a flying
dropkick and attempted a pin, but TNT kicked out. TNT then tried to hurl
Marconi out of the ring, but Marconi reversed it and executed a head-first body
slam. Another pin attempt was thwarted by Otto Ruthless making the save.
The action continued with Marconi
applying a Boston Crab, only for TNT to counter with the Townsend Driver.
Marconi responded with power forearms, but TNT executed a standing suplex.
Marconi tagged in
JR Fargo, who absorbed a flying
dropkick from TNT.
JR Fargo fought back with an atomic
drop and attempted a pin, but TNT kicked out. Fargo continued his assault with
another atomic drop, but TNT kicked out again. TNT then landed a jaw jacker,
but Fargo retaliated with a magnificent body slam and another pin attempt,
which TNT kicked out of.
The match saw TNT executing a
powerbomb and attempting a pin, but Fargo kicked out. Fargo then neutralized a
jaw jacker and delivered a kick and stomp, which TNT reversed into a flying
dropkick. Fargo reversed the dropkick and hit another atomic drop, but Otto
Ruthless made the save.
Marconi tagged back in and applied a
front face lock on TNT. Despite absorbing the punishment, TNT couldn’t escape,
and Marconi secured the pinfall victory with a front face lock, winning the
match for his team.
The champions, Dominic Marconi,
Alejandro Guerrero, and JR Fargo, emerged victorious in a thrilling contest,
showcasing their resilience and teamwork.
(19 min)
At the end of the
match, the Nightstalkers – Bloodfang and Shadowfang – hit the ring and attack
the champs. Beastfang joins in and it’s
a total annihilation. After an
exhaustive 19 minutes, the champs could not stop the onslaught of the Dark
Dominion. Count Vlad gets on the mic and
asks Dominic if they are willing to put the titles on the line at the PPV
against the Fangs of Despair and Beastfang.
Restrained, he had nowhere to go and accepted on behalf of his
team. JR and Dominic are hurled from the
ring. Alejandro is dragged back to the
ring and dumped with his teammates. The
Dark Dominion stands tall in the ring as the fans boo them mercilessly.
We have another
match made for the PPV so stay tuned to see how this plays out.
