HCW Wrestling Newsletter 2024 #1039 – 10/12/24


Hello wrestling fans and welcome back to another installment of the HCW Wrestling Newsletter.  Pierre Boulay started things off backstage saying how he “felt bad” that the New Sicilians DECIMATED the Muscles Duo and felt they deserved another shot but this time, it will be for the Heritage Tag Team Titles.

 

The Snake Pit demanded a match against the Dark Dominion with Count Vlad agreeing to a match against Terror Fang, the Morningstar, and Beastfang.  JR Fargo and Alejandro Guerrero have agreed to a rematch against Ethan Hayes and Rafael ‘Rafa’ Sandoval.  The Commando continues to demand his rematch for the US Title but the Rich Athlete keeps dodging him.  We’ll also see the Flaggship, the Orange Fusion Force and more in action so let’s get right to it (however, with the full card, Mr X. gets bumped again).

 

Match #1:  Phoenix Blaze vs Kimberly Kiccsass

 

Kimberly Kiccsass strutted down the ramp, her black-and-gold outfit gleaming as she soaked in the boos from the crowd. Unfazed by the negative reaction, she confidently made her way to the ring.

 

Not long after, Phoenix Blaze made her entrance to a huge pop from the crowd, her high-energy music setting the tone. She sprinted down the ramp, engaging with the fans as her fiery red gear shimmered under the lights.

 

As soon as the bell rang, Kimberly exploded out of the gate with a high-risk maneuver, nailing a Top Rope Leg Drop that caught Phoenix off guard. The impact stunned Phoenix, who struggled to shake off the blow early in the match.

 

Despite the rough start, Phoenix quickly turned things around. As Kimberly moved in for more offense, Phoenix countered with a flawless Double Underhook Suplex, sending her opponent crashing to the mat. The crowd rallied behind Phoenix, who began to gain momentum.

 

Phoenix followed up by lifting Kimberly into a Capture Suplex, executing it perfectly and keeping control of the match. Kimberly tried to fight back, but Phoenix’s technical skills shone through.

 

Mike "The Voice" Johnson: "Phoenix Blaze is starting to take charge here—she’s not giving Kimberly an inch!"

 

However, Kimberly was not one to stay down for long. She countered Phoenix’s offense with a sneaky reversal, getting behind her and locking in a tight Back Mounted Chin Lock. Phoenix squirmed in the hold as Kimberly applied pressure, clearly intent on wearing her down.

 

Phoenix managed to break free, using her strength to deliver a Fallaway Slam that rocked Kimberly. But before Phoenix could capitalize, Kimberly retaliated with her own power move—a vicious Toronto Slam that left both competitors down for a moment.

 

In the final stretch, Kimberly saw her opportunity and seized it. She locked Phoenix in her deadly Christo submission hold. Phoenix struggled but couldn’t break free, the pain evident as she fought to stay in the match.

 

Johnny "The Hammer" Harris: "Kimberly’s got that Christo locked in—this could be it!"

 

With Phoenix trapped and unable to escape, Kimberly transitioned into a pin, hooking both legs and puts her feet on the ropes for leverage.

 

Referee: "1... 2... 3!"

 

Winner: Kimberly Kiccsass (via pinfall after Christo)

 

Kimberly stood tall, relishing her victory as the crowd rained down boos. Phoenix, clearly frustrated but determined, rolled out of the ring after a hard-fought contest. Kimberly raised her arm in triumph, proving that tonight, she had the upper hand over one of HCW’s most popular competitors.

 

Phoenix heads to the back and Kimberly taunts the fans briefly before heading to the back herself.

 

[Backstage Segment]

 

The camera cuts to the dimly lit backstage area of the HCW arena, where General Manager Max McGillicutty is pacing outside his office. He stops as Count Vlad approaches, his black cloak flowing behind him, eyes gleaming with sinister intent.

 

Max McGillicutty (smiling nervously): "Bună ziua, Vlad... ah, I mean, good evening, Count Vlad."

 

He quickly corrects himself, realizing his slip into Romanian.

 

Count Vlad (grinning): "Ah, Max... your linguistic skills are impressive, but unnecessary."

 

Max straightens his posture, clearing his throat as he gets straight to business.

 

Max McGillicutty: "Let me cut to the chase, Vlad. I run HCW. This is my company, and I make and enforce the rules around here. If you want to bring in any new hires to your... Dark Dominion, they need to be vetted by me first."

 

Vlad tilts his head slightly, his smile unwavering, though there's a flicker of something darker in his eyes.

 

Count Vlad: "Of course, Max. We wouldn't want to... disturb the order of your kingdom, now would we?"

 

Max crosses his arms, maintaining his authority despite the eerie aura emanating from Vlad.

 

Max McGillicutty: "Good. Just remember, I’m the one in charge here."

 

Vlad nods, an unsettling grin still plastered on his face.

 

Count Vlad: "Understood... for now."

 

Max McGillicutty: "Lastly, what is the deal with that cryptic promo from Dr. Red Fang?”

 

With that, Count Vlad gives a slight bow, his eyes never leaving Max’s, before he silently turns and glides out of the frame, leaving Max standing there, visibly relieved but still cautious.

 

Max McGillicutty (muttering to himself): "I don’t trust that guy one bit..."

 

The camera fades out, the tension thick in the air.

 

 

Match #2: The Flaggship vs OFF

 

The match began with Mike "The Voice" Johnson hyping up the crowd. “Listen to this place explode for Orange Fusion Force!” he exclaimed as Owen Zestwell and Julius Squeezer made their way to the ring, the crowd firmly behind them.

 

However, Johnny "The Hammer" Harris wasn’t as enthusiastic when the Flaggship appeared. “And here comes the Flaggship! Look at Flagg, flipping off the crowd like the class act he is,” Johnny said sarcastically. “These guys have no respect for anything or anyone.”

 

As the action kicked off with Zestwell hitting a Jersey Driver, Mike shouted, “Orange Fury is on fire right out of the gate!” Johnny chimed in, “Flagg’s gonna have to pull out every dirty trick in the book to get back in this one.”

 

When Rex Rampage tagged in, and the double-team assault began, Mike sounded worried: “Uh oh, here comes the cheap shots! That’s the Flaggship for you, double-teaming Zestwell like a pack of vultures!” Johnny added, “That’s what they do best, Mike—cut corners and break rules. You can’t trust Flagg as far as you can throw him.”

 

After Squeezer turned the tide with a huge Double Underhook Powerbomb, Mike excitedly called, “Squeezer with a massive powerbomb! This is Orange Fusion’s chance to turn this match around!” Johnny countered, “But Flagg’s not done yet, look at him, Mike. He’s about to load that boot like the Iron Sheik!”

 

As Flagg hit the Enzuigiri to end the match, Mike shouted, “No! Squeezer’s down! This can’t be it!” But Johnny, seeing the pin, said, “One, two… three! Flagg steals another one with that dirty Enzuigiri!”

 

After the final bell, Mike could only shake his head. “The Flaggship pulls out the win, but you can’t deny Orange Fusion Force gave it everything they had.” Johnny added, “Yeah, they put up a great fight, but with guys like Flagg and Rampage, it’s never a fair fight.”

 

The commentary closed with Mike summing up the match, “Love them or hate them, the Flaggship are dangerous. But Orange Fusion Force will bounce back—there’s no quit in these guys!”

 

 

Backstage, Larry Morton stands in front of the HCW backdrop, microphone in hand, looking slightly nervous. Next to him is the imposing figure of The Banker, his sharp suit impeccable as always, but the intensity in his eyes reveals that something is brewing.

 

Larry Morton: "Ladies and gentlemen, I'm here with The Banker, and there's been a lot of speculation about your future in HCW. You've been involved in some heated situations recently, especially with 'The Financial Maverick' Evan Stockwell. What do you have to say about that?"

 

The Banker adjusts his tie and glares into the camera, his voice dripping with venom.

 

The Banker: "My time here in HCW may be ticking away, Larry, but let me make one thing perfectly clear. Whether I have one day, one week, or one year left here, I intend to make every single moment count. And there’s one name that’s going to be permanently etched in misery because of me—Evan Stockwell."

 

The crowd in the arena can be heard reacting as Banker's tone darkens.

 

The Banker: "You see, Stockwell, you think you’ve built an empire, huh? You think you’re untouchable, that your 'Million Dollar Alliance' has shielded you from consequences. But let me tell you something. Empires fall. And I'm going to be the one who burns yours to the ground. I’m going to bankrupt your soul, Stockwell. You think you're the 'Financial Maverick'? I'm going to make sure your stocks plummet and leave you with nothing but regrets and—"

 

Suddenly, out of nowhere, Evan Stockwell storms into the scene, blindsiding The Banker! The force sends The Banker crashing into the backdrop, and Stockwell wastes no time, raining down vicious punches.

 

Larry Morton: "Oh my God! Evan Stockwell is attacking The Banker! Somebody get security!"

 

The arena crowd reacts with shock and boos as Stockwell grabs The Banker by his shirt and slams him into a nearby equipment case. The Banker's head snaps back from the impact, and Stockwell’s face twists into a smug grin as blood begins trickling down The Banker’s forehead.

 

Evan Stockwell (mocking): "You think you can talk about ruining me, huh? You think you're a threat, Banker? I am the Financial Maverick! I run this place, and you... you’re just a liability I’m about to liquidate!"

 

Stockwell grabs The Banker by the collar again, slamming his face into the ground. The Banker is now bleeding profusely, blood staining his pristine white shirt.

 

Larry Morton (shouting): "Stockwell, stop! Enough is enough!"

 

But Stockwell, laughing arrogantly, crouches beside the fallen Banker, gripping his bloodied face and sneering into his ear.

 

Evan Stockwell: "You wanted to make my life miserable? Well, guess what… you're the one bleeding out on the floor. This is just the beginning, Banker. You should have stayed out of my business."

 

Stockwell finally stands, wiping some of The Banker’s blood off his own knuckles and onto his expensive suit as he smirks. He walks off, leaving The Banker laying in a pool of blood.

 

Larry Morton (urgently): "Somebody get medical assistance! Evan Stockwell has just viciously assaulted The Banker! I... I don’t know what to say, folks... but this is far from over between these two!"

 

The camera zooms in on The Banker, who despite the blood and pain, slowly begins to stir, his face a crimson mask reflecting both rage and determination, setting the stage for their inevitable showdown.

 

Match #3:  The Snake Pit vs the Nightstalkers and Beastfang w/ Count Vlad

 

The atmosphere grew tense as eerie music filled the arena. The crowd watched in anticipation as Beastfang and 'Shadowfang' Marcus Black, accompanied by the sinister Count Vlad, made their way to the ring. The Dark Dominion’s menacing presence set a dark tone as they approached the squared circle.

Mike 'the Voice' Johnson: "These guys give me chills every time they step into the ring. The Dark Dominion is as ruthless as they come, Johnny."

 

Johnny 'the Hammer' Harris: "Absolutely, Mike. And don’t forget Count Vlad—always lurking ringside. You never know what he has up his sleeve."

 

Moments later, Leiton, Tobias, and Niven Snake entered the arena, their cold, calculated demeanor almost daring the Dominion to test their limits. The tension was palpable. Though both teams were known for bending the rules, the Snakes faced an even darker, more sinister foe.

 

Mike 'the Voice' Johnson: "If there’s anyone that can go toe-to-toe with the Dark Dominion in terms of ruthlessness, it’s the Snake Pit. But this won’t be just a match—it’s going to be a war."

 

Johnny 'the Hammer' Harris: "You can cut the tension with a knife, Mike. This is gonna get ugly fast."

 

The match kicked off with Leiton Snake squaring off against 'Shadowfang' Marcus Black. The action was immediate and intense, with Leiton hitting a Buckle Bomb early on, only for 'Shadowfang' to respond with a devastating Reaper’s Scythe. 'Shadowfang' went for a quick pin, but Leiton managed to kick out at the last second, avoiding an early defeat.

 

Johnny 'the Hammer' Harris: "I don’t think Leiton Snake even knows what hit him! 'Shadowfang' Marcus Black is an absolute machine!"

 

Mike 'the Voice' Johnson: "That was pure instinct kicking out. Leiton’s in real trouble here."

 

Soon after, the match devolved into chaos as Tobias Snake entered the fray, with the rest of the competitors getting involved. The ring turned into a battleground as the Snakes hit several brutal double-team moves, but the Dominion struck back with even more devastating power. Beastfang executed a jaw-dropping Deadlift German Suplex, while 'Bloodfang' Viktor Drakov unleashed a thunderous Running Powerslam.

 

Mike 'the Voice' Johnson: "This isn’t a wrestling match anymore, Johnny, it’s a fight! Bodies are flying everywhere!"

 

Johnny 'the Hammer' Harris: "With six of the most dangerous men in HCW in one ring, no one is safe right now!"

 

The momentum shifted back and forth as Tobias Snake and 'Shadowfang' Marcus Black battled it out. 'Shadowfang' hit a crisp Snap Suplex, while Tobias retaliated with a vicious Lariat. However, just as Tobias started to take control, Count Vlad made his presence felt, distracting the referee and allowing 'Shadowfang' to land more underhanded blows.

 

Mike 'the Voice' Johnson: "There’s Count Vlad again! The man’s never met a dirty trick he didn’t like."

 

Johnny 'the Hammer' Harris: "You gotta hand it to the Dark Dominion—they know how to use every advantage."

 

The beating continued when Beastfang tagged in, punishing Tobias with a powerful Transylvania Reverse Spin Scoop Powerslam and following it up with a breathtaking Gachimuchi-sault Standing Moonsault. Tobias, on the verge of being overwhelmed, managed to tag in Leiton Snake just in time.

 

Mike 'the Voice' Johnson: "Tobias has got to get out of there! He’s been taking a beating for too long!"

 

Johnny 'the Hammer' Harris: "Leiton’s back in, but the momentum is still with Beastfang and the Dark Dominion!"

 

As the match continued, Leiton Snake tried to gain control, attempting a Single Underhook Facebuster on Beastfang, but the powerhouse of the Dominion reversed it. Count Vlad once again intervened, causing a distraction that left Leiton wide open to Beastfang’s relentless assault.

 

Mike 'the Voice' Johnson: "Beastfang is relentless! Leiton can’t seem to get any momentum going with Vlad constantly interfering."

 

The end came when Beastfang hit a crushing Running Brainbuster on Leiton Snake. This time, Leiton had nothing left in the tank. The referee counted the pin, and the Dark Dominion secured the victory.

 

Johnny 'the Hammer' Harris: "It’s over! Beastfang just put Leiton Snake down for good with that Brainbuster."

 

Mike 'the Voice' Johnson: "The Dark Dominion has sent a clear message to the entire HCW roster tonight. When they’re in the ring, destruction follows."

 

The Dark Dominion stood victorious, with Count Vlad smugly watching as the Snake Pit retreated. In the end, the darkness of the Dominion was too much, even for the vicious Snakes.

 

Backstage

‘The Commando’ Zack Brown approaches Larry Morton for his interview.  Zack says that he still deserves his rematch but the Rich Athlete keeps ducking him.  He says that he’s going to let the process do its thing but if something isn’t rectified soon, he will take matters into his own hands.

 

Elsewhere backstage, the US Champion the Rich Athlete is with Ruth Heartless.  He cuts a promo with lots of Woos and says that he will never lower himself to wrestle the Commando – a brute who probably got bounced out of whatever force he was part of.  No, the US title will remain with Sophistication Extraordinaire – HIM.

 

 

Match #4: Ethan & Rafa vs JR Fargo & Alejandro Guerrero

 

Juan Raul Fargo, the Magnificent One, and Alejandro Guerrero come out to massive booing from the crowd.  They mock the fans as they make their way to ringside.  They climb into the ring and continue to jaw jack with the fans until the music changed and out comes Ethan ‘Lighting’ Hayes and Rafael ‘Rafa’ Sandoval.  The duo shake hands with the fans and make their way to ringside.  JR and Alejandro try to keep the duo out of the ring but eventually the ref pushes them back and allows the competitors to enter the ring and start this match.

Backstage Segment: The New Sicilians Prepare for Heritage Title Defense

                                                                        

The camera cuts to the backstage area where Dirty Dick Albano, Vicious Vinnie Albano, and their manager, Pierre Boulay, stand confidently in front of the HCW logo. The Undisputed Tag Team Champions, the New Sicilians, are dressed in their wrestling attire, titles slung over their shoulders, exuding arrogance. Pierre stands between them, holding a microphone with a smug look on his face.

 

Dirty Dick Albano smirks as he begins to speak.

 

Dirty Dick Albano: "You know, normally we don’t give out charity. But tonight... tonight is different. See, after we decimated those muscle-bound buffoons, the Muscles Duo, in our last title defense, we felt... a little bad."

 

Vicious Vinnie Albano chuckles, adjusting his title belt.

 

Vicious Vinnie Albano: "Yeah, Dick, we felt bad because it wasn’t even a challenge. We embarrassed them. Flattened 'em like a pizza crust!"

 

Pierre steps forward, grinning as if he’s about to deliver a sermon.

 

Pierre Boulay: "Ah, the Muscles Duo... such heart, such spirit! But heart and spirit don’t win championships, boys. You see, Dirty Dick and Vicious Vinnie here—they’re not just champions, they're the best of the best. But because we’re benevolent champions, we thought it only fair to give you another shot tonight but this time at the Heritage Tag Team Titles."

 

Dirty Dick shakes his head mockingly.

 

Dirty Dick Albano: "We get it. You guys love being gluttons for punishment. So, we figured... why not? Let’s give you another chance to get your heads knocked off."

 

Vicious Vinnie Albano slaps his belt.

 

Vicious Vinnie Albano: "But this time, fellas, it’s for the Heritage Tag Titles. You know, maybe that’s a prize more on your level. Maybe this’ll help you sleep at night after we steamroll you again."

 

Pierre nods and raises the microphone, as if wrapping up their arrogant promo.

 

Pierre Boulay: "Muscles Duo, you may have muscles... but the New Sicilians? We have brains, we have skill, and most importantly—we have the gold. So, bring all the muscles you want, because once again, the only thing you’ll be taking home tonight is disappointment."

 

With that, Dirty Dick and Vicious Vinnie laugh, sharing a knowing glance before walking off screen with Pierre Boulay. The camera lingers on the confident trio before cutting back to the action in the arena.

 

Mike 'the Voice' Johnson (voiceover): "The New Sicilians clearly have no respect for the Muscles Duo, but the question is, can the Muscles Duo prove them wrong tonight?"

 

Johnny 'the Hammer' Harris (voiceover): "This is going to be a battle, Mike. Let’s see if the Muscles Duo can finally rise to the occasion or if the New Sicilians will walk out with both sets of tag titles still around their waists!"

 

We are on to our Main Event.  First, the Muscles Duo – Weasley and McGuire come out and act all goofy and then head to the ring.  They continue the silly antics until the music changed and out come the UNDISPUTED Tag Team Champions – the New Sicilians.  Dirty Dick, Vicious Vinnie and Pierre all head to the ring.  Pierre is carrying the portrait of Capt Lou.  They head to the ring and Pierre sets the portrait up at the commentary desk.  Vinnie and Dick show off their dual sets of titles before handing the Heritage set to the ref and the World titles to Pierre.  The match can finally begin.

 

Match #5:  The Main Event:  The New Sicilians defend the Heritage Tag Team Titles vs the Muscles Duo

 

The match started off with intensity as Muscles McGuire and Muscles Weasley brought the fight to 'Dirty' Dick Albano. Right out of the gate, the Muscles Duo showed off their impressive double-team tactics, with McGuire landing a Muscles Crush and Weasley executing a Tornado DDT. Albano fought back with his trademark dirty tricks, including a thumb to the eye, but the crowd was solidly behind the fan-favorite Muscles Duo.

 

In the middle of the match, Albano, with some underhanded help from his manager Pierre Boulay, tried to turn the tide with a foreign object. However, McGuire managed to neutralize it, keeping things relatively clean, but it allowed Albano to stay in the fight. The match continued to swing back and forth, with double-team maneuvers and reversals thrilling the audience. Weasley’s Diving Double Foot Stomp and Flying Headscissors kept Albano on his toes, but the New Sicilian wouldn’t stay down for long, answering with brutal knee strikes and mounted punches.

 

As the match drew to a close, the Albano brothers resorted to their dirtiest tactics. With Vicious Vinnie joining the action, they tossed McGuire out of the ring. Despite McGuire’s best efforts to re-enter, the referee’s count reached 10. 'Dirty' Dick Albano, ever the opportunist, picked up the win via count-out, leaving Muscles McGuire frustrated on the outside.

 

As the bell rang, signaling the count-out victory for 'Dirty' Dick Albano, the crowd erupted in a chorus of boos. Vicious Vinnie quickly slid into the ring to join his brother, and both New Sicilians held their arms high in victory, gloating as they each grabbed one of the HCW World Tag Team Championship belts from ringside. They weren't done yet, though—their manager, Pierre Boulay, strutted into the ring, microphone in hand, with a devilish grin.

 

“Ladies and gentlemen, what you are witnessing is nothing short of greatness!” Boulay declared. “The New Sicilians don’t just win matches—they dominate entire divisions! These two men,” he said, pointing to the brothers now draped in gold, “are the pinnacle of professional wrestling, and there isn’t a tag team alive that can take them down!”

 

The camera zoomed in as both Dirty Dick and Vicious Vinnie stood tall, holding up not just their HCW World Tag Team Championships, but also the HCW Heritage Tag Team Titles, which they had defended earlier. Pierre Boulay continued, “You see those belts? These aren’t just titles—they are monuments to the dominance of the New Sicilians. Heritage champions, World champions—no matter where you look, it’s the same story: the New Sicilians rule the HCW tag team division!”

 

With the New Sicilians basking in their victory and holding up both sets of titles, left the ring after the Muscles had departed.  They make their way up the ring showing off their titles once again and then disappear behind the curtain.

 

Before the show could end, a new wave of boos erupted as the arena lights dimmed and the ominous theme music of Mr. X blasted through the speakers.

 

The merciless heel stormed onto the stage, flipping off the audience with both hands, drawing even louder jeers. Mr. X sneered, relishing the hatred, and made his way down the ramp. Fans cursed him, and he fired back with venom, shouting, "Shut up, you morons! I'm the best thing this company's ever had, and you can't handle it!"

 

Johnny 'The Hammer' Harris was quick to chime in. "Here we go again, Mike. This guy just oozes disrespect. He's got a real problem with everyone—fans, talent, you name it."

 

"I mean, Johnny, Mr. X just can’t help himself. He’s like a ticking time bomb," Mike 'The Voice' Johnson responded.

 

Mr. X slid into the ring and demanded a microphone. As soon as Mr. X got the mic, he unleashed his frustrations, pacing back and forth in the center of the ring.

 

"I’m sick of it!" he snarled. "Every damn week, I’m being booted off shows! The HCW management’s too scared to keep me on because they know I’m the real deal! I’m not here to entertain you idiots—I'm here to break people and take what’s mine!”

 

Johnny ‘the Hammer’ Harris added, “Well, he’s not lying about that, Mike. Mr. X is a dangerous man, but come on, he brings a lot of this on himself.”

 

"Yeah, but there’s something to his claim, Johnny. He's been pushed aside from the title scene for months now," Mike ‘the Voice’ Johnson replied.

 

Mr. X stopped dead center in the ring and pointed toward the entrance ramp. "And all your precious HCW champions? They’re all a bunch of cowards—especially Jack Lumber!" The crowd roared at the mention of the HCW World Champion’s name, but Mr. X wasn’t finished. "Lumber, I’m calling you out! Every time I get close to that title, you hide behind some triple threat, fatal four-way, or whatever management throws in the way! I want you—one on one! No games, no excuses! You versus me. And no one else to save your ass!"

 

Just as Mr. X finished his tirade, Jack Lumber's music hit the speakers, and the crowd exploded in cheers as the HCW World Champion marched down the ramp, eyes locked on Mr. X. The tension in the arena was palpable as Jack rolled into the ring, a microphone already in hand.

 

"You think I’m dodging you, X?" Jack Lumber said with a smirk. "I've fought guys tougher than you in matches worse than anything you've ever seen. You want me one on one? You got it."

 

"Whoa, Jack Lumber just accepted the challenge!" Mike shouted, "This is huge!"

 

But before anyone could process the weight of Jack's acceptance, Mr. X suddenly lunged forward, throwing the first punch. Jack was quick to respond, and the two brawled fiercely in the center of the ring, exchanging brutal blows as the crowd erupted into chaos.

 

"Here we go, Mike! Jack and X going at it right now!" Johnny yelled. "This is breaking down fast!"

 

As fists flew, security guards rushed down the ramp to pull the two men apart, but neither Jack nor Mr. X showed any sign of backing down. They shoved security out of the way, trying to get their hands on each other again.

 

"This is complete mayhem!" Mike shouted. "Security can’t even contain these two!"

 

With security barely managing to separate them, the final image of the night was Mr. X screaming from the ring, "One on one, Lumber! You’re mine!" while Jack Lumber stood defiantly on the ramp, his World Championship over his shoulder, glaring up at his next challenger.

 

Johnny closed out the show, "We’ve got ourselves a massive fight brewing here, Mike! The champ versus the most dangerous man in HCW—one on one! I can’t wait!"

 

"Neither can I, Johnny. HCW management better get ready for this one because it’s going to be explosive!  Stay tuned, there is a lot more action on the horizon!"

 

Once the cameras stopped rolling, we headed quickly backstage where Larry Morton was trying to get a word in with Count Vlad.  Larry Morton:  Count Vlad!  Count Vlad, a word if I may.”  Vlad stopped and turned, Beastfang standing beside him.  “What is it Larry?”  Larry asked “Count, that video that aired last week from Dr. Red Fang…he looks nothing like ours.  What is that all about?  Who is the real Dr. Red Fang?”  Vlad looked at Larry “Be cautious you don’t meddle in matters that are not yours.”  Vlad turned and walked away not bothering to answer further.

 

What is going on??? (in the voice of Matt Kennedy Gould from the Joe Schmo Show).
